mandilambi Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 While I was searching for any information on the Chicago performance, I came across this little tidbit - before reading beware, this guy has nothing good to say about Mika! I was just blown away by how ridiculous his comments were. http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/2008/02/6673/concerts-for-the-week-16/#comment-35481 As you can see, I made a comment. I wanted to post something that would cut him down to size, but refrained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwowitsnicka Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Did this guy actually go to the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Looks like he didn't because he was just telling people what concerts were taking place that week. IMO he shouldn't even be able to "review" the artists, especially since he most likely did not attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwowitsnicka Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yeahh. Pffft what a loser. He probably secretly loves mika and listens to him in his closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseygoodness Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 what a pompous as$hole! even if he hates mika's music YOU HAVE to admit that he puts on an amazing show.....and millions of people can justify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk448 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I don't like when people can't just constructively criticize something. Criticism is fine (in fact it's healthy) but just completely tearing down any artist is just annoying. What good does it do? None. It's a waste of time. Why even bother to write it? I don't expect everyone to like Mika, but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwowitsnicka Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That's true. He was just saying those things to be mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 The thing that bothers me is that he goes so far as to say he hates Mika. *Hates* I mean, please, is your life that sad that you are going to hate someone just because you don't like their music? Very sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erins Interpretation Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 A) how can you review an artist successfully without seeing him live or even giving him a fair listen? and B) " an artist with nothing to say trying to be relevant " - - He must really not know what he's talking about, I think Mika's songs prove that he has a lot to say. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwowitsnicka Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 LOL should I post this? Pshhhhttttt, you probably listen to Mika in your closet while your adjusting your shrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, it does seem like the most outspoken people against an artist are the people who actually like them. Anyway, I just find it hard for someone to say that hate an artist they've never seen in concert. Hate means a strong feeling so I guess he does indeed have strong feelings toward Mika. Plus, he mentions he's all looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohwowitsnicka Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think we may have started something. #Patrick St. Michel said, February 18, 2008 @ 9:32 pm Spelling fixed, thanks for pointing that out. But my stupidity still doesn’t erase the fact Mika used to write jingles for Orbitz chewing gum. Anybody who used to write jingles deserves a good “spewin.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelove_mika Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've commented. hehe:naughty: I said : Ah, ignorance at it’s finest. What makes ME mad most about music these days, is people like YOU who don’t know what they’re talking about and wouldn’t know a soulful, genuine, talented artist if it bit you in the ass.

Apparently so. You know what? Every guy like this is one less person to battle for concert tickets and the like. Mika has enough of a passionately loyal fan base for him - or us, for that matter - to be concerned with the occasional hater. It's his (the hater)'s loss, really.

lovelove_mika Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Is "Val" anyone on here? I feel like letting out a big 'HELL YEAH!' to her comment.. "Patrick, I’m sincerely happy for you.. You started at the very top, you had no ladder to climb, right? Get something better to do, than to criticize someone that the age of 11 knew what he wanted in life. He did an Orbitz jingle when he was 13, they right question to ask is, how many 13 year old can actually say they’ve achieved that??" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrastar Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 That's the main problem of the Internet I think. Everybody's a critic on it. Thing is, not everybody knows how to be a critic. There is a way to express your views and how you feel about an artist without having to bash him or her. That being said, I'm not surprised. The morning after the Mika show in Montreal, at a show called "Salut Bonjour", the critic who attended the concert didn't like it and didn't have that many nice comments regarding Mika either. Still, even if I think he was totally wrong on some manners, he did say something that is actually intelligent: "Mika is a artist who's music you either love, or you hate." It's as simple as that. Even if I have to say that I'm a little annoyed when people don't like the same things I do, as long as they don't bash my beloved artist and respect my views and feelings, than, that's fine.
