BrendaLovesMika! Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Q : Who is the girl doing the voice in Grace Kelly ? A : An actress, recruited after a casting... But the actress is only doing the first sentence : "The last time we talked Mr SMITH you reduced me to tears, I promise you it won't happen again". Mika is doing the 2 other sentences "Getting angry doesn't solve anything" AND "Humphrey we're leaving", his voice being modified to look like a sample... According to an interview he gave on the radio a few time ago. He said it himself. But now that we know that he's keen on inventing things for the interviews, and that his humour is quite sarcastic, it COULD be one of his jokes... But he said it wasn't a joke... Can we trust that ?? I don't know. I'm just quoting, and there's no way to check and make it sure. lets hope its a joke because that would be a little creepy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoppappop Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I don't think it would be creepy. "Everything" is possible with technology now... But as i said, i don't know if it's true, i'm just quoting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveLoveMIKA Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Strangely, I thought it was him except for the first sentence even before hearing/reading about this interview. I really did and I still do. I say it really is him, IMHO. We could put the answer that it is uncertain, because he makes jokes during his interviews, but he said that it was him. I sincerely don't think he was joking about it, though. It's just not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titania Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Gosh, your more than welcome, so happy I could be of some use Btw the actual point at which he begins to talk about the Grace Kelly voice over starts about 3 minutes into the 2nd part of the interview- if you downloaded Franco's version ...

LoveLoveMIKA Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 wasn't he at home watching tv cos he couldn't sleep cos he had a flight? or summin? :S Sorry if this one has been answered already. But, yes, he was somewhere -- not sure if it was at home-- but he was packing to go on a flight and he couldn't sleep because he hates flights, so he was watching "trashy" TV at about 2am or 3am... Sorry my memory's a bit hazy, but he definitely did not see that documentary on an airplane or flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avoca Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 ehm.. some correction from PITA # 2 here: his vocal range is only a little more than 3 out of 5, he said himself. and as for the lyrics.. out of the japanese version of LICM. official lyrics. I left out grace kelly, lollipop and love today cause they stand in every version of the album MY INTERPRETATION. you talk about life and talk about death and everything in between, like it's nothing and the words are easy you talk about me, you talk about you and everything I do like it's something that needs repeating I don't need an alibi or for you to realise the things we left unsaid are only taking space up in our heads make it my fault, win the game point the finger, place the blaime and curse me up and down it doesn't matter now cuz I don't care if I ever talk to you again this is not about emotion I don't need a reason not to care what you say or what happened in the end this is my interpretation and it don't make sense the first 2 weeks turn into 10 I hold my breath and wonder when will it happen does it really matter? if half of what I say it's true and half of what I didn't do could be different would it make it better? if we forget the things we know would we have somewhere to go? the only way is down and I can see that now cuz I don't care if I ever talk to you again this is not about emotion I don't need a reason not to care what you say or what happened in the end this is my interpretation and it don't make sense it's really not such a sacrifice if I never talk to you again this is not about emotion I don't need a reason...

avoca Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 STUCK IN THE MIDDLE I sit and think about the day that you’re gonna die, your wrinkled eyes betrayed the joy with which you smile. Care to see my reason? Care to put your life in mine? Looking at life from the perspective of a boy Who’s learned to love you but has also learned to grow. Could we make it better, Stormy weather is so hard to know. Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who will believe me, won’t deceive me, won't try to change me? Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who wants to have me, just to love me? Stuck in the middle. I look at you, you look at me, we bite each other. And with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter. But my troops are bigger than yours You’ll never stand my fight. Ours is a family that’s based upon tradition But with my careless words I tread upon your vision. Are five kids better than one, who doesn't lie to become? Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who will believe me, won’t deceive me, won't try to change me? Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who wants to have me, just to love me? Stuck in the middle. Yeah...Yeah...Yeah... This is just who I am, This ain’t a greater plan to break your heart over me. I know that what I’ve started means that when we have parted I can live in honesty ah, ah, ah is there anybody home? Who will believe me, won’t deceive me, won't try to change me? Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home? Who wants to have me, just to love me? Stuck in the middle, Stuck in the middle, Stuck in the middle, Stuck in the middle ERASE I shouldn't have called so late last night all insecure, out of my mind I shouldn't have left that message on your phone I shouldn't have said the things I said looking for love we left for dead in a grave, without a stone as soon as you hear my voice don't hesitate put your finger on the button.. erase, my love I bet you can't erase my touch you're trying to replace a feeling without a name with someobody's else's face in your head everything's cool your rent is paid the house is clean your bed is made but it's a ghost town in your mind we never had time to go to sleep we'd wake up tangled in the sheets on a bed that we called home when the pain won't go away you might as well put your finger on the trigger erase, my love I bet you can't erase my touch you're trying to replace a feeling without a name with someobody's else's face in your head erase HAPPY ENDING this is the way you left me I'm not pretending no hope, no love, no glory no happy ending this is the way that we love like it's forever then live the rest of our lives but not together wake up in the morning stumble out my eyes can't get no love without sacrifice if anything should happen I guess I'd wish you well a little of heaven but a little bit of hell this is the hardest story that I have ever told no hope, no love, no glory happy endings, gone forever more I feel as if I am wasted I'm wasting every day this is the way you left me I'm not pretending no hope, no love, no glory no happy ending this is the way that we love like it's forever then live the rest of our lives but not together 2 o'clock in the morning something's on my mind can't get no rest keep walking around if I pretend that nothing ever went wrong I could get to my sleep I could think that we just carried on this is the hardest story that I have ever told no hope, no love, no glory happy endings, gone forever more I feel as if I am wasted I'm wasting every day this is the way you left me I'm not pretending no hope, no love, no glory no happy ending this is the way that we love like it's forever then live the rest of our lives but not together A little bit of love OVER MY SHOULDER over my shoulder running away feels like I'm falling loosing my day cold dry cold and dry fork out my daylight torture my soul feels like I'm falling far out of sight cold drunk tought and lost over my shoulder running away feels like I'm falling loosing my day cold dry cold and dry fork out my daylight torture my soul feels like I'm falling far out of sight cold drunk cold and drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
