Zika Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hello, hello, hello!! I have questions! 1. The songs mentioned in the title - is there any way to download them/get them on CD/anything really? Or will there be and when? 2. Which is your favourite out of these? 3. Has he done other good ones, not covers, which aren't on LICM? 4. Randomly - I haven't actually bought ANY of Mika's singles! I know, shock horror!! I'm skint, see!!! Can anybody tell me the track listings for them? Thankyou in advanceeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoppappop Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Overrated and You Made Me are demos that Mika doesn't want to be on the web... So we don't put them on the forum actually... You can ask if someone can send them to you. Your Sympathy and Erase are actual released songs that are on the US and Canada albums. I don't like any of them He has done other demos, that you can also ask if someone can send them to you... I leave the track listing of the singles to someone else... Don't have them within reach...

Zika Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 okay - what is demos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoppappop Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 okay - what is demos? Written songs on their first first version : basically what he did in his living room and recorded (well, not exactly, but only piano-voice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zika Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 ohh!!! he should record them professionally, especially Overrated! they are really good songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwalk174 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 you're not supposed to talk about those are you? "I would appreciate it if my demos were not posted up onto the forum. I do not know who leaked them, but as you can imagine it’s quite irritating." -MIKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in Japan too, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I love Erase. It's fun to go up to one of your friends and just randomly and dramatically sing it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoppappop Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Your Sympathy isn't on the Canadian album. Japan, sorry... I keep on confusing them both, they're so similar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwalk174 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Japan, sorry... I keep on confusing them both, they're so similar ! i got life in cartoon motion from japan but it doesn't have your sympathy on it so i think it's only on the limited edition i didn't even get the little stickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Japan, sorry... I keep on confusing them both, they're so similar ! Yeah happens all the time! When did Mika make this complaint about the forum? Because the cat is long out of the bag and I'm sure the source of the leak was not MFC. Mika should be using the net to his advantage, not trying to thwart things he ultimately has no control over. They should make tracks available for purchase on Mikasounds. iTunes is a PITA because you cannot buy outside your country, leaving fans with limited options aside from file sharing. Die hard fans may import singles, but realistically most people aren't going to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackViolet Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Your Sympathy is a track on the American bonus edition. We get two, just to make it extra confusing. I only have the regular American edition though. And now that I know there are two different Japanese editions, I am worried that the one I'm getting will not have it on there... and that was one of my main reasons for getting it... As for the demos, well, we're not putting them up here, just talking about them... --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackViolet Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yep, two editions. Standard 12-track: http://www.amazon.com/Life-Cartoon-Motion-Mika/dp/B000NA2776 And Best Buy Exclusive 14 track: http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,4070530,00.html Oh, never mind, it doesn't have Your Sympathy, it has Satellite and another version of Love Today. One of the singles must have Sympathy. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's annoying that they were leaked but it's already happened. They are everywhere. I came across them without even looking - since I didn't even know they existed at the time. Mika has benefitted immensely from exposure on the internet and this is just another consequence of it. You have to take the bad with the good although I would argue that this isn't even bad. Mika stands to make his fortune not by record sales, but by filling concert stadiums. The more people who are exposed to his music - by whatever means necessary - the better IMO. There are many artists who can see beyond filling the coffers of their record company who agree with me. Any way you look at it, they should forget about this old model of trying to force people to buy multiple physical CDs to get this track or that. Only the most die hard of die hard fans are going to do that. I'd be more than happy to download these tracks from Mikasounds but I have no intention of importing limited editions of LICM from all over the world. The fact that I have even one physical copy of LICM is a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 im sorry, i know you're new, and i know other people have said this (well actually i dont, im assuming, i havent read all the pages admittedly) but: 1) We do not discuss demos that have not been released as it is Mika's wish; he does not want them shared. How they slipped, no-one knows. 2) Erase and Your Sympathy are on an international album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
