Sou Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Brief reportage on Mika in German. Can anybody help translate?! Please?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Danique Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Sorry, I don't think my German is good enough for that... I understand it a bit, but I don't think I can translate it. Can anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula.pop Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 My German is not good enough to translate word by word,but basically,it says that Mika has been named the new icon of pop and his song Grace Kelly has stormed british charts and now he is visiting Berlin. Then there is the background bit about American father and Liebanese Mum and sining opera.And he says it is funny that he used to do all the classical music and now he is singing about fat girls He also talks about Grace Kelly video and says that you can see his big sister,mum and grandmother in it-he calls them his bodyguards And people reviews are very good.Thats all I could understand-now wait for a better translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violet_sky Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 it is far from perfect but i wanted to do it quickly: Underestimated by music companies for a long time, he nevertheless believed in himself and kept going on – successfully. Now Mika, son of an American father and a Lebanese mother is THE big newcomer. With his single Grace Kelly he hit the top of the charts in UK and just yesterday he made it to the hearts of the Berliners. From falsetto to base – his voice contains more than 5 octaves (didn’t he say himself that was bull****?). Pop wonder MIKA is celebrated as the new discovery of the music scene, although the 23 year old Mika wanted to become an opera singer (really??). It is funny because one and a half years ago I was studying Brahms songs at music college. Now I sing songs about big girls, lollipops or Grace Kelly. And with the hit Grace Kelly he broke all records at once. It is because of his American-lebanese big family that he still keeps his feet on the ground. Members of that family are also dancing along in the video. The only person that is always around me is my big sister. And of course my mother, my gradmother and all the others want to come with me. I don’t have bodyguards, I have relatives instead. Of course all of them were with him at the beginning of his tour but not only his family was enthusiastic. Woman: he can really sing – top. Super pop Man: Super, I’m glowing. Woman: That was the most beautiful night of my life. Mika – the pop sensation of the year. We are sure we’ll hear more from him.
