violetsky Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I've tried to listen to something else, didn't have much luck. :roftl: I tried the same no chance !!! :roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Mewissa<33 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 What does interest me, is I have noticed a lot of the people attracted to Mika are 30ish women. I would have expected a younger crowd. I just notice today [and last week] that a LOT in my school [high school] LOOVE Mika. [Especially me an Sunny We looove his curls ] So there arent just 30ish women I dont know why there arent a lot of "us" here Maybe its because its hard finding this forum...i googled him and MFC werent on the first few pages or watevrr xD [And i really think the forum should be in the first few pages on google ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Yes, why does he appeal so much to us thirtysomethings? I have thought a lot about this and still can't come up with a rational explanation! Although my husband just suspects I'm entering my mid-life crisis phase (grrrr).. I think it's part mid-life crisis and part is Mika's '80s appeal. The '80s is when you had all those great young solo pop artists - Prince, Michael Jackson, George Michael. David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Elton John were still in their prime. We just haven't seen anyone like Mika in 20 years. I guess Robbie Williams and Justin Timberlake fall into that category but they're post-boyband so for people my age there was never the same enthusiasm for them as you had for younger fans of Take That and NSync. I lived in London in the late 90s and I was so sick of the boyband/girlband/boy-girlband thing that I mostly listened to trance and other clubbing music. That's when I started feeling too old for pop music. I don't think I was really too old. The music was just so lame and marketed to 14 year olds. Paolo Nutini, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse and of course Mika have really revived my enthusiasm for pop music. I think Amy Winehouse and Mika especially appeal to our generation because they a sense of life experience about them and could pass for early 30s in photos and videos.

Mika_forever Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I constantly listen to him and when I´m in school I play LICM over and over again in my head during the breaks:naughty: I´m driving my poor frind crazy with my obsession:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RannaBananaLovesMika Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have been, well, let's use the word OBSESSED, with Mika, for quite some time now (NOT in a creepy way, honest). I talk about him whenever I get the chance and when he started getting played on the radio, I would get so pumped every single time he came on. One couldn't possibly think that I could fall in love with him anymore than I already have... and then it happened. I saw him live and then met him and I've been so much worse ever since. Now, all I do is think about him... all the time. I feel as if this relationship I have with him is like a drug... and believe me, I'm NOT interested in kicking the habit soon! VIVA MIKA.

You have expresed what I was feeling, but couldn't quite articulate. I agree with you about Mika being something unique for these past 20 years, and also with what you said about him (and others) rekindling your interest in pop music. And it's true, the late 90s/early 00s were a poor time for pop! I don't think I listened to anything contemporary at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyBaby Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I listened to a different CD yesterday....I felt so lost and homesick. I won't be trying that again anytime soon. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have tried a couple of times to stop listening to LICM. First time was a run to Wales, on the way back I popped in JC Chasez's Schizophrenic CD, which was my last obsession before Mika, and although it was great hearing it again, when it finished, LICM was straight back on. The next time was a couple of weeks back, and I put on Queens A Night at the Opera CD, not for the obvious, but for '39 which is my favourite track on it and which Brian sings quite beautifully. But again once finished my hands scrabbled around to get the Mika CD back on. I think I'm going to soon need to see a shrink, because I got a few CDs at Christmas and haven't played any of them yet, because of this Mika fever I have contracted, trouble is I don't want to be cured.

Ocean_Fairy Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Ha ha it's impossible.

Dreamy Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Ok I think I have it. The answer to the big question. Why does Mika turn 30ish, normally sane women into a dribbling mess, with the inability to have conversations that dont start with "Mika" Its in the video of "Love today" Very clever man our Mika. He has included a subliminal message, thats what the spiro display is in the background. Great now that is answered, and we all know there is now no cure, we can get on with enjoying our "Mika obsession" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackViolet Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 wow. whenever i think of mika, i to ALWAYS go ' mikamikamikamikamika!'does everyone do that? hahahaha I hope so! It's so fun to do! As for the MarcMarcMarc I was talking about, it's Marc Bolan. Even though I'm Mika's age, I bet it'll be the 30-ish ladies here who know who he is. I am a bowie fan, when im not being distracted by Mika. And we are used to being obsessed, and having friends roll there eyes everytime you mention his name. Ha, I am a Bowie fan too, quite. And yes, I have multiple copies of his albums. (It's the damn reissues! Plus you need to have the vinyl--playing Ziggy "full volume" on a CD player just doesn't cut it!) I guess I'm an honorary 30-something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yes I remeber Marc Bolan! I'm a bit too young to have been a fan (I remember when he died, I was 8 I think, and I remember the TV show he had) but I've always thought that if I'd been a teenager in his heyday I bet I would have had the biggest crush on him! Maybe it's the curly haired thing, or the androgynous thing, but he is a bit Mika-ish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackViolet Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Maybe it's the curly haired thing, or the androgynous thing, but he is a bit Mika-ish... Hahah, how else do you think I discovered Mika? Well, actually I had been waxing poetic about Queen's wonderful song '39, and my sister linked me to Mika's Grace Kelly video, and of course I had to pay attention to the singer with the curly hair! By the way, Mika's curls also remind me a bit of a young Syd Barrett... I guess I just love all the ones with the dark curly hair. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband is a big Pink Floyd fan but I don't know all that much about them and certainly never realised Syd Barrett had those luscious locks! Er, it's just dawning on me that I like dark curly hair! And with your musical references you definitely are an honorary thirtysomething. Just remeber that the 30s are the new 20s... That's what keeps me going anyway... We are in the wrong thread here - there is a Curly Fry Fanclub, I believe. I should go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just see it now: Step right up! See Mika, the Hypnotist! He's got a few tricks up his sleeve but what's the most impressive? The ability to make grown women act like the screaming girls of the beatlemania era. BABE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_O EVERYDAY like on Friday, we were watching Ice Dance, they were dancing to Grace Kelly. And when this couple left, Happy Ending was playing And on Saturday, I was at a friend and his dad kept singing Grace Kelly And today, Mika was #1 on the VH1 weekly album chart!! ....its hard XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siarai Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 To not be obsessed with Mika...sounds absolutely horrible. I am nto as bad as some of my friends mind you..But after about three days of not listening to him I get the urge. Oh and...I think when I do laundry at work whomever is working front desk gets annoyed and slams the door shut. They have all decided I am completely out of my mind.... THey just need thier heads checked is all. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
