Thanks so much robertina, you are a star I've been hankering after that for ages. I'm totally obsessed with those pictures, and the article is great too.

David Walliams eh? Just what is it about him that makes the ladies swoon? I think it must be the ambiguous sexuality thing, now where have we heard that before . Kate and Pete are definitely annoying - Doherty annoys me because he is a prat and yet I can't help but like his songs. There's nothing more irritating than that . Maybe Mika did go to this party, but with a bag on his head or something, you know, as a compromise. He couldn't resist the allure of a 20s themed tea party, I reckon! Although of course,I don't know him:mf_rosetinted: so I'm willing to retract that statement.

Crazy Europeans? Yes, crazy and proud to be crazy. Crazy is good!! What a great review! From a journalist who hasn't disappeared up his own a***. It makes a change. Thanks for posting.

Say cheese! Or is it glitter?

Now there's an idea .....

I remember Michael when he had his lovely locks I've always thought he was gorgeous, even bald as he now is!!

You are absolutely right! She hardly 'broke through' by her own hard work did she, like Mika, or some of the other artists nominated in that category. She won a talent show, was groomed, given a song and plugged by Cowell to within an inch of her life. If that's what Breakthrough means in music these days then I despair!! I'm not saying she doesn't have talent, but just that she hasn't yet earned her right to a Brit, in my opinion.

I don't know, but I hope he is practising his "magnanimous loser" face for the night. for when Mika walks up to get his gong.

Check out Mica Stipe's new hairdo!

Mica Stipe.......... You are joking, right?

Hmmmm!! He's cute isn't he. He has a lovely smile too, like the Mikster.

Thanks Lovely Mark Ronson I hope he is right

He is lovely in blue jeans Accessible, somehow. ***http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...Zone/mika6.jpg This is possibly the hottest pic of him I've ever seen! Does anyone have a link to the article it is from?? I don't recall seeing it before and I can't read the print.. Edit: the link isn't working; it's the one of him in front of the window overlooking San Francisco/Alcatraz.

I've just googled REM New Album and I got a sneak preview of the tracklisting Everybody's Gonna Hurt Today Relax, I'm Losing My Religion Shiny Happy Inflatable People Orange Crush Flavoured Lollipop Imitation of Life in Cartoon Motion The One I Love Today The End Of Any Other World As We Know It

Maybe Michael has been cultivating a nice falsetto

That thought did cross my mind Probably a lot of angry plonk plonk songs but just not as good as GK!

Hmm. Cowell told Mika his songs were no good. Michael Stipe says he's a really great songwriter. I know whose opinion I take more seriously!

Hmmm, anything that might help you arrange that seeing to eh?

Yeah it just proves that people with talent themselves and good taste love Mika and can appreciate his talents! If I were Mika I'd be so proud of what Stipe has said!!

Nothing new here but I just thought the reference to Michael Stipe's praise of Mika was worth looking at again, as it's so great Pop goes the Brits: Take That, Leona Lewis and Mika lead nominations The boy band and singers are up for four awards each. New artists Kate Nash and Bat for Lashes to go head to head with Lewis in two categories Owen Gibson, media correspondent Monday January 14, 2008 Guardian Unlimited Earnest rockers lay down your guitars and fey indie types look away now: bouncy, colourful pop is very much back at the top of the homegrown musical agenda if the nominations for the 2008 Brit awards are any guide. Take That, the former boy band who reformed to great acclaim, Mika, the flamboyant Beirut-born singer who topped the charts with Grace Kelly, and Leona Lewis, the X-Factor winner tipped for great things by Simon Cowell, led the way with four nominations each. After several years in which the rebirth of British guitar music, from Franz Ferdinand to Arctic Monkeys, has dominated, this year's nominations appear to reward the return of unashamed melodies and catchy choruses. Take That's four nominations including best group, best single and best album capped a stirring comeback for Gary Barlow and company. Despite some sneers when they announced their return minus Robbie Williams in 2005, a string of sold-out shows and number ones have silenced critics. REM's Michael Stipe recently called Mika, who qualifies thanks to his British passport and has split critical opinion, "a great songwriter" and cited him as a key influence on the band's new album. full article: http://music.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,2240749,00.html

Allow me to translate for you, he means definite

The more I think about it the more amazed I am Leona has got these nominations, it certainly seems strange... ONE single and a dodgy album does not a Brit winner make. What a strange article..once again, as with many other things I've seen recently, Mika is mentioned in an almost half-hearted way and then completely glossed over/disregarded, as if they are trying to pretend he does not actually exist, or he is a figment of the public's imagination I saw the same thing on Planet Sound (ITV teletext) the other day. I'd rather they slagged him off I think!

A classic!! *dies*

thanks is it just interference on the radio or does Mika sound hoarse? hope it's the former.

It's true. I consider myself lucky just to have my one autograph (which incidentally I have managed to RUIN by trying to laminate it ). I will not get to another Mika concert until his next British tour and by then...will there be any point at all even waiting around afterwards??? I think not.
