camille* Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ok that's not much but we also saw Mika for 2 seconds during Shakira's speech at the very beginning of the show http://nrjmusicawards.nrj.fr/videos-3381/media/video/496886-shakira-award-d-honneur-palmares-2012.html at 1.22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anney Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I woke up this morning with the radio on and EMD was playing I love this weekend Isn't it crazy that Mika won best male (and has been #1 all autumn) when he only gave 2 gigs and 3 radio station interviews in the country for the whole year? I think he likes knowing he can be 'lazy' (not seen) in France and successful at the same time.. And I suppose it's also one of the reasons of his surprise yesterday; he admits he has been 'hiding' and working in LA for months and he receives awards in the same time exactly my thought:teehee: it must have been a real surprise for him:aah: (for me aswell if I´m honest. I did hope he would win but I thought he wouldn´t because of his absence this year.) so happy he won the award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melisanda Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) thank you Bia, Milda, Eriko, Mari, Camille (hope I didn't forget anyone) for uploading vids!!! have to correct my previous post a bit..he is not "too" tall, "too" is not the right word, it was only said in the context. M is wonderfully tall, ecpecially after seeing -correct me if I'm wrong ALL men who were shorter than the women next to them??? maybe the women are 3 meters tall...that is also possible... liked this thing on his wrist very much...and the moment when he grabbed his hair... (like when he touches his hair and like him on the floor) but now I need to stop talking about such things...and I want him to forget about it...some things need to be done spontanously... (if you plan to be on the floor or if you plan to touch your hair the effect is not the same...) ps. but I still don't get one thing....why was releasing EMD such risk??? I think...people, listeners just like the song or don't like it....they don't care that much if there's an album behind it or it's just a single song...?? what if he gives away one song from time to time? if it's a good song?? is it the thing-without an album plus promotion radio stations are not interested at playing a song????? (so all you need to do is have a dj friends in radios and that's all but I know...I know little about music business......

catalinutza79 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 thanks everybody for all pics/vids/links...you guys rock !! i'm so happy for Da Boss...i was quite sure he wouldn't leave NRJ awards empty-handed ...well-deserved award, anyway ... WAY TO GO, BOSS !!! WAY TO GO MFC !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks everyone for the pics and videos! I must say it was really nice to watch the live stream and comment with everyone on twitter I missed those virtual parties! I'm really proud of Mika, if with ONE song he wins a "best male artist" award, imagine what it will be with the whole album! Congrats, boss! As for the performance...well...it was weird seeing all those dancers on stage and even more seeing Mika dancing! (he did great anyway! lol) But the worst thing for me was the playback (or the partial playback, don't know). It sounded weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melisanda Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) ...I envy people in the audience they have so much free space and perfect conditions....especially the first group Mika approached anyway...WAS anybody THERE?????? (one day I must attend such awards...I want to have such experience) and I have another idea about dancing...;-) maybe the concept was "she tells me 'dance' but I'm resistant cause she always tells me what to do and I hate it so I won't!!!! I will stand and make gestures but I won't dance the way she wants me to...;-))PPP (plus I'll be a little 'military' about it )" ok I like it better now;-) anyway I enjoyed the performance! it's Mika after all and he is always better than anyone. I miss him. Take the good energy from the awards Mika and use it;-)) Edited January 29, 2012 by Melisanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it was quite cute How about the other artists last night, did they sing playback or did Mika and the band have some technical problems? I didn't much listen to the other performances, the quality of the livestream was quite poor and I was chatting on twitter at the same time.

There was at least a singer (can't remember her name, tho) who seemed to be performing 100% in playback, but others like Seal, for example, sang live.

Yes a lot of people are complaining about it (fans or not) I don't see this as playback, he did the same as at some gigs, keeping the vocals that go 'elle me dit c'est ta vie...' behind while he sings 'danse danse danse'.. But I understand that if you don't know Mika very well you could think it's playback. The verses were sung wonderfully; it's easy to think it's the original. (EDIT:when I say you I don't mean you Mary; I think you know Mika quite well and probably much better than me ) About the dance.. Mika doing the dance is ok IMO; but the dancers with him...

I loved Seal (but not the lady who sang with him...to me she didn't feel it...) I always love Seal!!!! and the lady with full playback to me was Mylene Farmer...

It's always so different to see him singing live, because he is in front of you and everything is perfectly clear and you know he is singing himself He might use partly playback for some vocals but it would be weird if he agreed to use full playback (without any technical problems etc) I have a feeling this dancing thing was purely something to do with NRJ, I can't see Mika using back dancers in his shows (at least I hope so ).
