Over the past 48 hours events have occurred around the world that have shaken and appalled me – the tragic and despicable attacks in Norway and the sad loss of Amy Winehouse
The death of Amy Winehouse has shocked and saddened me, as a label-mate on Island her undeniable talent is something I have admired for many years and her incredible songs and voice will serve as an amazing legacy by which to remember her by. The noise about her private life and the sad circumstances of her death will be drowned out by her classic records which will be played for many years to come. Last night, I played Paleo Festival in Switzerland in the slot that Amy was supposed to play – it was sad and difficult to step onto the stage so soon after her death, knowing that originally she was supposed to be performing there. The show was dedicated to her and my thoughts are with her family, it is a terrible thing for a parent to lose their child
We also paused last night’s show in order to dedicate Happy Ending to the victims of the terrible terrorist attacks in Norway. Those events moved me a great deal – I could not think of a more horrific way for so many innocent young people to die for no reason whatsoever. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families

7. 完成以下簡單任務： i) 猜猜我們今次會送出哪款Mika戴過的眼鏡！ （到我們的Facebook Page的'Happy Glasses Aug 2011!' album選取答案）
Part 1 Cauet（主持人）：Mika，我很高興見到你！我高興得差點兒用英文說“I'm very happy to see you”了。 Mika：我很開心，我很榮幸（用帶有重法文口音的英文講）！我很榮幸！真的！（繼續用帶有重法文口音的英文講） （Mika和Cauet開始唱起Relax來決鬥一番；同時Cauet問Mika要Relax的旋律和歌詞） Mika：Relax；‘Relax, Take It Easy’這句背後有個故事的。我第一次聽到的時候在中國；當時我妹妹還在那裡留學。我那次到中國探望她的時候，她在一家店裡認識了一位叫Brinker的男人。每當他感到受壓力的時候他都會重覆說著這句話的……你現在知道故事了，那我們不用唱了吧！ Cauet隊友：你有給錢這位中國朋友嗎？ （Cauet唱了幾句） Cauet隊友：還不錯嘛！但聽起來也有點像鴨子耶。 （Cauet播了一小段Relax） Cauet：Relax真難唱啊！ （再播了一小段Grace Kelly的副歌） Cauet：為甚麼你的聲音可以飆到這麼高？
Mika：這是我正常的聲音啊。
Cauet：上次我在火車上唱Grace Kelly差點把其他人殺死了！ Mika：其實竅門是不要唱得那麼大聲啊！ （Cauet播了Rain的一兩句，然後用法文講'When it rains, it rains'） Cauet：在演唱會裡觀眾便能聽到你唱最新的法文單曲'Elle Me Dit'了！ Cauet隊友：這歌很棒！
Part 2 Cauet：接下來你會聽到，自7月4日起可以上網下載的，Mika最新單曲（Elle Me Dit）。他將會於 7月9日在貢比涅開一場演唱會。 Cauet：Mika，我說過我很高興見到你；那你見到我後的心情又是怎樣的？ Mika：很神奇啊。 Cauet：嗯，我從你眼神看出來了。 Mika：今天我是從倫敦來的，來的時候錯過了一班火車；然後他們叫我搭下一班吧，結果我在行李架上坐下來。不只是我一個人來的，其實我們有3個人呢。 Cauet隊友：即使你是Mika！ Mika：本來旅途上只有我1人的，沒有帶上團隊中的任何人；我叫他們讓我上了火車就行了。 （電話中的聽眾Laura說她就在電台門口等著，希望能見到Mika；因為她不讓進去，所以感到不開心） Cauet：其實Mika也應該不讓進來的，他應該待在電台的行李房！就像在火車上一樣！ Mika：如果你真的不讓我進來那多可笑嘛！求求你吧……我是歌手耶……讓我進去吧…… （Laura在電話中問了一個讓Mika最感到尷尬的問題） Mika：我在Parc Des Princes時弄破了褲子，是因為我跳舞跳得太起勁了！而那次更被錄做演唱會DVD啊！ Cauet：你褲子哪部份破了啊？ Mika：每一部分！連褲襠也破了！太可怕了。 Cauet：那你怎麼辦？用手抓住褲子嗎？ Mika：對，第3首歌的時候我這樣做。之後離開現場換衣服。 Cauet：但我覺得人們會說，原來他就是這樣抓住褲子來令聲音高點的！ Cauet隊友：我就知道他是靠這樣擁有一把高音的！ （Cauet提到Elle Me Dit這首歌，然後叫Mika唱Relax；Mika叫Cauet也一起唱嘛，但Cauet拒絕了） （Cauet說人們都可以在他Twitter上看到照片）
Part 4 Cauet：Mika live！Mika的最新專輯將於2012年頭推出，而現時他的最新單曲為'Elle Me Dit'。這將會是一張充滿驚喜的唱片。 Mika隊友：幹！要等太久了！ Cauet：裡面會有法文歌嗎？ Mika：這張會是英文專輯，法文歌方面，會有5首。 Mika隊友：你唱法文時的感覺是怎樣的？會感到很奇怪嗎？ Mika：對，有一點吧。但法文也蠻酷的，因為法文可以做到英文做不到的事，例如在'Elle Me Dit'的副歌中有句'Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?'（英譯：Why are you wasting your life?）。你不能用英文這樣寫的；因為法文的發音跟英文不同，所以節拍會不一樣。 Cauet隊友：你發表法文歌還是很酷的！ Cauet：千萬別錯過Mika於7月9和10日分別在貢比涅和列日的2場演唱會喔！好了Mika，我們這個節目有個傳統叫'Twat Game'的。我會問你一連串的問題—這裡每個人都可以玩，但答案中一定要有'Mika'這個字。好！一個在其他棒子不動的情況下，移走一根小棒的遊戲是甚麼 ？ Mika隊友：Mikado。 Cauet：答得很快嘛！那講一個南美洲國家的名字？ Mika隊友：米卡拉呱！（Mikaragua） Cauet：忘了告訴你世事無完美！音樂的頭5個音呢？ Mika隊友：Do Re Mi Ka Si Do！ Mika：你們早串通好的嗎？ Cauet隊友：沒有啊。 Cauet：一家專售賣不能協調傢俬的傢俬店？ Mika隊友：米家傢俬！（Mikea！） Cauet：一種防長疤痕的藥？ Mika隊友：Armika！ Cauet：NRJ12台的一套片集？ Mika隊友：Physico Chimika！ Cauet：那個有隻海狸在巧克力旁邊摺錫紙的廣告？ Mika隊友：Milka！ Cauet：接下來這個，一個以前唱過''Sans chemise, sans pantalon... Without shirts or trousers'的長青歌手？ Mika隊友：Mika Zaraî！ Cauet：最後這個很差勁嘛！一個前成人影星，之前上我們節目試過裸體的？ Mika隊友：VirgiMikaPprice！ （全場笑） Cauet：Mika，給你一個吻！能跟你在這裡真好啊！隨時回來吧！但在8月22日後喔，因為我們要去旅行了。今晚我們跟Mika在一起！ Mika：謝謝！
Part 1 Cauet: Mika, I'm very happy to see you, I'm even going to say it in English "I'm very happy to see you". Mika: I'm very happy , I'm very proud (in English with a huge French accent) lol! "I'm very proud ,really" (In English with a huge French accent)! (So they both start singing "Relax" for a "battle") (Cauet asks for the tune and lyrics) Mika: This sentence "Relax, take it easy has a story, the first time I heard it, I was in China, when my sister was a student there, I went to China to visit her and she had met a guy called Brinker in a shop and when he was stressed at work he would always repeat this... and now you have the story, we don't need to sing it! Cauet team member: Did you give some money to that Chinese guy? (Cauet sings and a lady in his team says its' not so bad but he sounds like a duck. Then the real songs is played and Cauet says it's hard to sing Relax.) (Then they play GK chorus and Cauet asks Mika how his voice can go so high. Mika says his voice is normal.) Cauet: I killed people in the train because I tried to sing Grace Kelly. Mika: The trick is not to sing too loud. (Then they play Rain and Cauet says "When it rains, it rains" in French Cauet says Mika in on his show and that people will soon hear his new single which is in French "Elle me dit") The lady in Cauet team: This song rocks!
Part 2 Cauet: In a minute you will hear Mika's new single that you can download online since July 4th. He will be in Compiègne for a gig on July 9th. Mika, I've said it once already but I'm very happy to meet you. How do you feel yourself about seing me for real? Mika: It's totally magical. Cauet: Yes, I 've seen it in your eyes. Mika: I came from London today and missed my train, so they told me I could take the next one and I ended up sitting in the luggage rack. I wasn't alone there, we were three actually. Lady in Cauet team: Even though you're Mika! Mika: I was travelling on my own, I had no one from my team: I told them to put me in the train. (Laura is on the phone - she is waiting in front of the radio station , hoping to meet Mika. She's sad because she couldn't get inside.) Cauet: Even Mika shouldn't be in, he should be in the luggage room of the radio station as in the train. Mika: It would have been funny not to let me in... Come on I'm the singe, let me in...! (Laura asks her question, she asks what made Mika feel most ashamed.) Mika: When my pants split open at the Parc Des Princes as I danced so much! And it was filmed for the DVD! Cauet: What part of your pants broke? Mika: Every part, even the crotch, it was awful. Cauet: So what did you do? Did you hold your pants with your hands? Mika: Yes.I did for the third song , then I left to change clothes. Cauet: And I bet people were saying , that's how he makes his voice so high squeezing it! A member of Cauet team : I knew this is how he could have such a high pictched voice! (Then Cauet mentions Elle me dit and asks Mika to sing Realx and Mika tells him to sing with him but he doesn't want to.) (Cauet says people can watch the photos on his twitter and Mika starts singing Relax live.) Cauet: Was the audience a good one? Mika: Yes, this is a wonderful audience and Cauet makes fun of someone who clapped in his hands too slowly. (Cauet says it is the end of the exams for students and asks Mika what sort of a student he was.) Mika: I was a bizzare student, not awful but strange, like for example I would come to school with disguises and they would send me back home, but for me it was normal to be dressed like that. I would draw clothes, make them and wear them at school. I guess it comes from seing my mother do this everyday, we lived in a loft where she made the clothes and that was natural to us. I was in a very small school in France, then in London, they kicked me out of the French High School and as they didn't want me any more I decided not to bother with school and I had my first job six months after I left school, as an opera singer. But my opera teacher was awful as well and I was fed up. Lady in Cauet team: But you have a classical background, that may be why you can sing so high. Mika: Maybe. Cauet: Yes, but some people might take any class and never manage to sing. Lady in Cauet team: You can sing as high as a castrato. Cauet: But you have kept everything , haven't you? Mika: Yes, everything is still there. (He laughs) Cauet: Proof is that it splits your pants during gigs. (Mika tries to sing like a castrato Farinelli with a wierd voice.) Cauet: It sounds like a duck. So then you need to put everything back where it belongs and he asks Mika again if he has everything. Mika: *laughs* Yes. (Guillaume is on the phone with a question, Cauet mentions Compiègne again and that Mika's new album will be out in 2012.)
Part 3 Cauet: Mika is here! We are going to compare our caps! Lady in Mika's team: Mika's looks much better. I love his cap, it's terrifis, he bought it in England, it's so cool. Cauet: Mine is an Oliver (not sure about that ???) Mika: Johnny Halliday wears lot of them. Cauet: Christian Digier did too, but he should really stop. Mika: But he's Johnny Halliday. Cauet: And Rolling Stones t-shirts. (Cauet tries to sing Mika again.) Cauet: He will be in Compiègne on Saturday and Liege on Sunday for a festival lady in Cauer teamThis is going to be a new style of show. Mika: Yes, in Marie Antoinette style. Cauet: You won't get your head off, I hope. Mika: No actually I cut al the band's members' heads off and then I wear a Napoleon jacket and you'll see if you come; Mika: It sounds strange and violent when I tell about it. We might have difficulties with the suits, we only tried them on two days ago. They are not so easy to dance with and we wear tights actually. Cauet: Then we must expect some crocth problems then... (Anne Emmanuelle, 15 is on the phone and she loves loves loves loves Mika) Anne: Any duets in the new album? Mika: Yes. But I can't say with whom, ok there will be one with Pharell Williams (Neptune). The tittle sounds like a mix of Daft Punk and Barry White. it's really something cool! Cauet: You can also make a duet with Serena Williams maybe? Anne: What about Elle Me Dit video? Mika: We will start filming Elle me dit vid next week! (Another fan mail is read and Lucie who will be 14 next week wants Mika to wish her a happy birthday live on the radio is her email is picked, that it would be her best birthday gift ever and Mika wishes her a very happy 14th birthday.) (Guillaume is on the phone and says hi to everyone) Mika: I'm always afraid of questions out of the blue because I never know what I am going to be asked... Cauet team member: He knows things about you lol! (Guillaume says he's a big fab and loved Lievin gig that was his Christmas gift from his parents. He also says he dances country dances on Mika tunes and the team turns Mika songs into country and Mika ends up singing a bit of Cotton Eyed Joe.) (Mika asks what song they use and Guillaume says "Big girl, Lollipop, Blame It On the Girls") Mika: Big Girl is based on country rythm on purpose and he tells Cauet about the Butterfly Lounge, an hour away from LA, a club for big girls and men who like big girls. (Guillaume says he played to win a ticket and Mika asks him his name so he can be given a ticket and says he's giving him a ticket) (Marion is on the phone, she wants to tell Mika he saved her life and saved her from sadness. Mika says she is very sweet.) Cauet: See Mika, no frightening questions. Mika: Many of my lyrics are sad but the music is very happy, makes you want to dance. It's maybe a Lebanese mix, you laugh and cry at the same time. Lady in Cauet team: As in your new single. Mika: Yes Marion: How old were you when you got your first kiss and in which circumstances did it happen? Mika: I was 14, which is a bit late for today's standards, a week before I turned 15, I think it's late. Cauet: And you Marion,how old where yo when you got your first kiss? Marion: No kiss yet. Cauet: How old are you? Marion: 16. Mika: That's cool, sweet 16. Cauet: Maybe you wear braces. Marion: Yes. Mika : I wore braces from 12 to 17 but still got kisses. Cauet: And you got stuck. Lady in Mika team: You have time. Mika: Maybe she's not worried. Marion: I'm waiting for the right guy. Cauet: you see, no problem with the questions so far, Mika. Let's hear someone else. (Then a fake fan (member of Cauet's team) doesn't want to give his name and speaks with a theatening voice.) Mika: I'm not afraid of your question but I'm afraid of your voice. Man from Mika's team: you kissed me when you were fifteen but you never called me back. Mika: "****"! Man from Mika's team: I've also seen you dead drunk more than once in the streets but I want to know why you never called me back. Mika: Because you stink, you were ugly, you had pimples everywhere and you also cut my tongue with your braces. Man from Mika's team: I am very very sad, please sing your new song to make me feel better, I'll just stay in the back if you're looking for me. Cauet: Why don't we listen to Mika live? (Mika sings Elle Me Dit live)
Part 4 Cauet: Mika live! Cauet: Mika's new album will be realeased at the begining of 2012, the new single is called Elle me dit, a brand new album filled with surprise. Lady in Mika team: ****, it's too much to wait Cauet: Will there be French songs? Mika: The album will be in English, for the French version, there will be five songs in French. Lady in Mika's team: How do you feel when you sing in French? Is it bizarre? Mika: Yes, a bit, but French is cool because with French I can do things I can't in English, like in the chorus of "Elle me dit" which is "pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?" , you just can't do that in English, the rythm is different because of the French sounds Lady in Cauet's team: that's really cool that you release songs in French Cauet: Don't miss Mika's show in Compiègne on July 9th and Sunday in Liège. Now Mika, we have a tradition in this show which is called the "Twat Game". I will ask you questions and everyone can play but there must be "Mika" in the answer Cauet: A game in which you must remove one stick without moving the other? Lady in Mika's team: Mikado. Cauet: That was fast. A country in South America? Lady in Mika's team: Mikaragua. Cauet: I forgot to tell you it's not always perfect. The five first notes of music? Lady in Mika's team: Do Re Mi Ka Si DO Mika: Did you guys cheat? Team Cauet: No. Cauet: A big shop selling furnishure that is impossible to assemble together Lady in Mika's team: Mikea. Cauet: A med that you take when you hurt yourself on something not to have bruises? Lady in Mika's team: Armika. Cauet: The title of a serie on NRJ12? Lady in Mika's team: Physico Chimika. Cauet: The ad with the beaver folding the foil around the chocolate? Lady in Mika's team: Milka. Cauet: Next one is for you, a singer who is ageless and used to sing "Sans chemise, sans pantalon... without shirt or trousers"? Lady in Mika's team: Mika Zaraî. Cauet: The last one is awful, a former X rated movie star who gets naked when she comes to our show? Lady in Mika's team: Virgimikapprice. Cauet: Everybody laugh. Mika, a big kiss, that was wonderful to have you, come back any time, but after August 22nd as we're going on holidays. So Mika was with us tonight! Mika: Thank you!
