JiPi Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Oh god, thanks a lot for the translation! I try to translate it with Google this afternoon and i couldn't understand a word of it:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 yeah, the magic of google translations .... I really hope Mika doesn't have sleepless nights now wondering if he might be suffering from diabetes for as we know being terribly thirsty in the morning can also have more obvious causes - mostly depending on where and how you spent the night before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziema Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 A really funny interwiev Though I recall he said he liked the school uniforms in a Swdish interview? Anyway, I'd love to see the interviewer's expression when Mika answered his/hers questions ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petra Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hey guys, the interview you can find on the internet is actually not the interview that was in the magazine. you can find the whole article here: http://www.kram-hochladen.de/download.php?id=NjQ2MDM= (it's a self-extracting file) I will give you the translation asap.

I there's not much I actally believe you're right about the name, they got that wrong... but i think the title refers to the line in grace kelly, "so i tried a little freddie". either they misunderstood that, or, what i think, they just wanted a good catchy headline - and it certainly is, for those people who don't know mika. everyone knows who queen are, so "the man who wants to be queen" is something that attracts attention, and that's the only purpose of a headline, to make people wanna read the article.

CazGirl Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 "VF Do you possibly suffer from diabetes and don’t know it yet? Mika Great, now that’s a very motivating interview. A little while ago I was told that I don’t have any taste, and now I have diabetes. What’s next? Will we all die tomorrow?" LMFAO! That totally made me giggle!

mom4unicrn Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Mika is on the cover of German Vanity Fair, the interview is online here http://www.vanityfair.de/articles/leute/ich-will-die-rueckspultaste-fuers-leben/2007/04/24/00608/ (Perez announced it on his site http://perezhilton.com/topics/mika/hello_deutschland_20070424.php (just went to listen to Feist's My man my moon - never heard of it before... oh I like ) Me Lika this song too. I did the same thing lol - reminds me a bit of Regina Spektor so far-but gotta hear more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 lol, the interview was really funny! But I didn't quite get if he was really offended over the remarks on his clothes or if he was just joking... did anyone else understand? Actually - I think both. I can imagine very well that he was a little offended because he spends a lot of time to get everything PERFECT - icluding his style. Apart from that it was really quite rude of the interviewer to say that. But - I also think, Mika got over it quickly and then it was rather a joke to bring that topic up again and again in nearly any answer. (I must say the questions were perfect to do so... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Mika is amazing, just amazing. That was freaking hilarious and he is so whitty and funny. :-D The interviewer was stupid, but he was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 really funny, he is perfect!!! VF Do you have a recurring dream? Mika Yes. That means I will have one: I go on a stage, sing and jump around there and then everybody turns around, disgusted, because I combined red pants with a brown hood jumper. Then I will wake up. i think he has a problem with red pants and brown hood jumper... hahaha:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
