JackViolet Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks. From all of your descriptions I almost expected her to be jumping out of her clothes or jumping on a drum kit... come on she wasn't that bad, I hardly noticed her. She was just a bit "enthusiastic". You WISH she'd been jumping out of her clothes! Anyway, it was a bit distracting seeing as she's so glittery... like a glitter bunny. But I think it's great he has a permanent on-stage backup singer now, because it gives him someone to play off. He only had Martin and Mickey before, and both of them are really too busy/too anchored to their instruments to really allow Mika to interact with them. Since she doesn't sing over him (and often doesn't sing at all) I do not mind it. And I think I'm just amused and sympathetic to her at NJR more than anything. I'm always curious about what people who have a key, but limited role can do onstage. If she just stands there in one place and only comes alive when she has a part to sing, it's boring and probably awkward for her. But when she bounces around so much, it's a tad too distracting, and pulls the audience's attention to the fact that she isn't doing much else. I'm sure they'll get a smooth routine worked out soon, depending on how much Mika does want to play off of her. (I haven't seen too many of the recent full shows, but Ring Ring could be absolutely awesome with her acting the part of the obsessive caller, and Relax too, could use more acting of them as lovers for the "last thing on my mind is to leave you..." bit, though I guess maybe he prefers to address that to the audience.) Marc Bolan's partner Mickey Finn always amused me, because except for some parts where he played bongos, he basically just strutted around the stage with a tambourine looking pretty--but he totally treated it like it was the most important part of the show, dammit! Ha. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackViolet Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 That would be so cheesy Nah, I don't think so, not any more than what he does with the Big Girls. I don't mean he should full-out act the song and clasp her to his bosom or anything, I just mean it would give him an opportunity to do a bit more miming and vary his body language. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 For me the only problem is that she bounces around exactly like Mika. If she would just dance properly, as I'm sure she's capable of doing, it would be fine. It's crazy enough that Mika boings around like a 6'5" pogo stick, but hey, he's Mika so he can get away with it (just). We don't need some girl doing the same thing to her own rhythm and sort of randomly all over the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing, she does the same type of jumping as him except in heels... now that must be hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need some girl doing the same thing to her own rhythm and sort of randomly all over the stage. Funny enough though, Yelle (Mika's support act in Brixton), did a lot of dancing and moving around the stage too which reminded me of Mika. (Actually, she resembles Yasmine and Feist imo). But I think her style is so very different from Saranayde. I dunno, maybe its because Yelle's music is different and perhaps she couldn't possibly dance the same way to "Relax".

At the NRJ awards she flashed around the screen. But if Mika really cared, he'd probably taken care of it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
