    Poor Mika, hasn’t eaten a croissant in a very long time.

    Doesn’t the winner get a contract with the record company? I think it’s a blessing in disguise that Gabriel didn’t win, this way he can develop himself on his own terms and I am sure he has a very good mentor in Mika, whom I hope can help him further in the music industry. Mika said himself how brutal it is, many times, a talent like Gabriel should be cherished and not destroyed by mainstream.

    Gabriel’s performances were absolutely amazing, for me he was the clear winner, although I do understand why Alphonse won in the end - still I think it’s a pity, would’ve loved to see Gabriel take home the trophy. My favourite moment was the duet between Nemo and Gabriel - PHENOMENAL! They built eachother up during the performance and it made it all the better. Absolutely loved both of them, especially Nemo being so incredibly supportive of Gabriel and just the two of them being equally happy and grateful to have performed and experienced this finale. Both adorable and the artistical level was simply mind blowing. And yes, Mika’s suit was really beautiful - wonder if it’s Atelier Mika? Or Valentino?

    What I understood is that Nemo is from the German speaking part of Switzerland, I saw a video of them speaking Swiss German. (Which is so exciting! I can (partly) understand! ) And oh yes, you are right, the option of using their name (and yes, that does seem like you are speaking to someone about them in the third person, haha ) is of course also used, I forgot about that one.

    I have wondered the same for German (also very gendered language), and what I have learned from googling it, is that there is no consensus as there is not an existing gender neutral pronoun. What was written though, is that they will use “they” but then Germanized to “dey”/“sey” or use an entirely different one like “xier” (any German speaker who is more familiar than me about this, please correct me! I would like to be educated correctly.) I wonder if it’s similar in French or completely different.

    I agree with you, it wasn’t my taste either. I wonder if he would’ve come on The Voice Mika would’ve turned around for him: but the point is that it’s not a talent show, and Mika’s role in this show is not that of a potential coach but of a supporting professional. Like sports commentary almost, but putting everything in a very positive light. And I love that there is a show like this now in this format!

    Just watched this episode (thank youuu @Kumazzz!!!!), loved the candidates! But what actually made me chuckle most was Mika saying: “Invasion of the barbarians” about a couple of kids passing by It’s funny, because it’s true (says a mum of three!)

    Aww, that is both a shame as it is wonderful news that she is expecting. For someone that far along (if she is not allowed to air travel anymore, she must be 30+ weeks along) she has a very small and cute belly! All the best to her!
  9. holdingyourdrink
    Another one!

    Also: poor Anna, being spammed with personal pics and messages
  11. holdingyourdrink
    Wow that’s actually scary.. also, the fake accounts have so many followers!?! Imagine how many people really think it’s him and are being scammed….
  12. holdingyourdrink
    Holy moly. No wonder he doesn’t come out so often anymore. That’s insane and so disrespectful.
  13. holdingyourdrink
    The only part I could recognize was when Ariana is singing in the beginning. But that is actually from the original Broadway song which Mika had asked permission to sample.
  14. holdingyourdrink
    Oh! Fake Mika and I are not exclusive!? Crying fake tears!
  15. holdingyourdrink
    Forgot to report this one! Awww he thinks I’m beautiful and wonders how I’m doing, what a sweetie! (already reported the account on Instagram. But I believe you also would like them to be reported to the MFC.)
  16. holdingyourdrink
    …who according to Mika can dance really well!
  17. holdingyourdrink
    Loved this episode. The standard is so so high!! I gasped!!
  18. holdingyourdrink
    Unlike Mika, I’m a small softie, because well he’s like 5 meters tall and I’m only 1 meter tall.
  19. holdingyourdrink
    Just finished watching and I am sobbing like a baby. Sheesh, Nerys and the choir! I didn’t think it would affect me, especially knowing what was coming from a few preview clips on social media. I am definitely not a crier, now I officially am.
  20. holdingyourdrink
    Maybe he’s in Montreal to discuss the songs and compositions with Simon Leclerc?
  21. holdingyourdrink
    However, it’s not really fitting for a philharmonic concert
  22. holdingyourdrink
    As a Dutch person my closet is filled with orange stuff!! It’s like me going out to celebrate King’s Day or going to a football match of the Dutch national team!!!
  23. holdingyourdrink
    I love this, now I’m even more impatient for Sunday!

    Although I don’t agree with the bad reviews, I do see what they’re talking about. Like Karin said, as if they are trying to recreate a Harry moment or a Lucy moment from the first series. However, I think there are many like Harry and Duncan (either living with a spouse with dementia or suffering from it yourself), I think there are also many like Lucy and Ethan who are on the autism spectrum. I believe the whole series puts the emphasis on how there are so many people from EVERY walk of life (coming from a bad neighbourhood, single parent household and no money…. to a law student… to a man who has lost his sight… to someone who was self taught in lockdown) can play the same instrument. How it connects, how it allows us to communicate without words and how much it provokes in us, even as bystanders in a train station. (Did I get a full card in the Mika-bingo-words? ) Also, I agree with CharlotteL and ACG, there is clearly no malice between Mika and Lang Lang. I also believe it was completely cut out of context to make it fit into the time restriction of 40 mins of show, I would’ve actually loved to see like a blooper reel of worst and funniest moments between those two per station. There is so much banter between Claudia, Mika and Lang Lang that I could watch that for an entire episode’s worth alone!

    Hahaha! I appreciate that Yes! The mothership is called “holdingyourthings R Us”, but my franchises can be caught in the wild, like in Dublin
