JackViolet Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Love that show. :-) Was so happy they played Mika last season, even if it was just a remix and not easy to spot for non-fans. This will be fun... I can already tell that one of my friends who's also a big UB fan will call me if she sees the commercial. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurtfulpurple Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Awesome, Ugly Betty's a good show. If it worked for Snow Patrol when they collaborated with Grey's, Mika has a fantastic shot at reaching some new people. Thank you, ABC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon-to-bemrs.penniman Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 ABC promotes shows with music videosReuters Tue Aug 14, 2007 9:22PM EDT By Gail Schiller http://www.reuters.com/article/musicNews/idUSN1419416820070815 NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC is producing music videos for several of its new and returning shows, including "Ugly Betty," "Desperate Housewives," "Grey's Anatomy," "Dancing With the Stars" and "Brothers and Sisters." The videos -- 11 are expected by the end of the season -- will air on ABC.com and in some cases on such other platforms as iTunes, ABC Mobile and the network itself. After a successful run last season with music videos for "Grey's," "Betty" and "Lost," ABC is relying much more heavily on the marketing tactic -- which also helps promote the artists' songs -- to launch its new season. For the upcoming season of "Ugly Betty," ABC produced a music video with British pop singer Mika, who re-recorded his hit single "Big Girl" with new lyrics. The music video -- which features Mika recording the new version of the song "Betty Girl," footage from his "Big Girl" video and scenes from Season 1 of "Betty" -- will premiere Thursday on ABC.com. The song also will be featured on-air in ABC's promo spots for "Betty." In the case of "Housewives," ABC produced a music video to reggae youngster Sean Kingston's chart-topping "Beautiful Girls." It wove clips from all the past seasons of the suburban soap with footage from the upcoming season and shots from Kingston's own music video. It premiered July 27 and is available on ABC.com. ABC is believed to be the only network using music videos to promote its shows. Since the music videos are mutually beneficial to ABC and the record labels/artists, the network does not pay licensing fees to use footage from already existing music videos, nor does it pay the artists when they appear in footage shot especially for the ABC videos. Last season, ABC produced three music videos for "Grey's" -- for Brandi Carlile's "The Story," the Fray's "How to Save a Life" and Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars." The "Chasing Cars" video made it onto iTunes' top 10 list after it aired during the closing moments of the "Grey's" season finale. ABC also produced a music video for "Lost" combining footage from the show with Brian McFadden's music video "Demons," and a music video for "Ugly Betty" featuring an original song by Jason Mraz.

j12345 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 That's awesome news. I got so excited last season when MIKA was playing in the background of a scene at a club last year on Betty. I had to do a double take - I was like is that?... It IS!!!...Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Nightly Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 From a marketing standpoint, this will NO DOUBT get "Big Girl" to Top 30 on I-Tunes downloads. AS SOON as a song is featured on one of those shows, you see a MAJAH increase in downloads the next day. This will give him the promo he needs in the US, most definetly...Though, it's a shame this couldn't have been done with Grace Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaluvr Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! You just made my day!! That is a big deal!! Ugly Betty is a well loved show here and that song I think will really appeal to its fans!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Well we know Mika likes Ugly Betty, so he must have been very happy about this! And should see a big market open up for Big Girl in the US at least!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne84 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I hope someone will record and youtube it for us? I hope that too, because otherwise I won't see that music video for aaages. We are so much behind in Finland. I have only seen the first season! This is wonderful news and will no doubt increase Mika's popularity in the US.
