MIKA - Ain't got no - I've got life

[mervelasco1]

ain´t got no freedom, or expresion , ain´t got no MIKA down my foot,aint got no mother in this earth ain´t got no money no food ain´t got nothing except LOVE...and PASSION or for LIFE...

[YumaMediumwood]

He should have sung "I got my chest" instead of "I got my boobies".

[19thcenturylike]

This is a disgrace to music.

Regards.

[strawberrybanana765]

nina simone did not write this song, it was from 'Hair' .... just wanted to clarify that :)

[leeham991]

Fuck off Mika, you've got fucking everything.

[carpetim]

@leeham991 agree.

[SuperDaleke]

TEKI adorable Mika ilike it

[venanzioism]

ain't got no boobies !!!!!

[goldengrannysmith]

@venanzioism hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahah still he's got his smile :)

[geko7844]

what has: how to put in a tampon - to do with this song?

[willvaltor]

NINA SIMONE

[58lions]

Why is there a video explaining how to put in a tampon in the related videos?

[DoUbLeMiNdEd]

Mika sings "I got my boobies" x'D ORLY now?

[mbap23]

'Ain't got no class'. Sorry, but that sums it up....

[MikaMad14]

Lol @ n00bs bitching about this being worst than the original. Obviously the original song is always better but Mika must really like this song if he wants to cover it. It's called appreciation idiots...

[angeesseule]

I fast forwarded to see if he'd say i got my boobies... O_O and he did.

[kruemelkeks27]

i like mikas version and i like nina's version but my favourite is the version from patrice ♥

[themindbeats]

Fuck mika .. original style is Nina simone forever no commercial music

[lukepunk2]

@AKIM1231 thats right, freddie mercury was gay but he is an amazing singing :)

[YuneMuis]

Mikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaa<3<3

Haha ''ain't got no skirts.'' Nice;)

LOVE HIMMM

[KTcattProductions]

"ain't got no chicken" thats mine and my best friends conversation starter! <3

[saphira1001]

Not as good as the original, but still awesome =)

[tuturura]

hahaha what was that chicken doing there? hahahaha!! TICKET ! that's what the song says "got no ticket, got no token" anyway listen to nina better gets the real dimension of the song....

[OHOMEMDANOITEMATRIX]

VERY GOOD.

[CarlosMendez003]

He shouldn't be singing this song, period!!!!!!

[MrFrMz]

he's not gay....HE IS FUCKING GAY. I don't care whether you're gay or not but if you HAVE / NEED to demonstrate it to everybody...well you have a problem..and actually he doesn't sing that good

[TheElpidoforos]

how in the hell can mika relate to this song all he hasnt got is pussy

[alicerawrr]

I've just read through all these comments, and really? Why are you arguing about this? Maybe to oOsprinklesOo Nina's vibrato sounds like a sheep, that's a personal statement I highly doubt she meant offensively. Liking and disliking a song is no big deal, getting into a huge argument about it just isn't worth the time. Mika is original, and this is his take on an originally beautiful song. No, it's not even close to the original, but that's the point. He made it his own.

[fiveonefiveohwe]

he does say the line 'i got my boobies' doesn't he? XD

[psyhhogril]

@fiveonefiveohwe he is xD

[Rebearaniva]

oh goodness...this is how you ruin a wonderful song

[kkg76]

@Rebearaniva totally! how awful and excruitiating it was to listen to this rubbish. Poor Nina!

[soraya218]

i like mika, in a way.. but he killed this song..

its just.. that some songs you just CANT cover.. and this is one of those..

[RODILLASEXPLOSIVAS]

This guy just destroyed a beautiful song.

Do not want.

[oz1229]

puff,,,,esto es un crimen a la original

[mandyroxurworld]

Am i the only one who when ever they see Mika's hair they get jealous? LOL

Really good vid, although both versions i like his is more...Mika-ish?.....lively, upperty. that kinda thing =]

[GintarGintar]

omg omg everytime I hear something unheard by Mika, I feel like a child, who found a new candy :D Love you Mika so much that you could not convey in any song <3

[bootworked]

nice cover

[joshlondoner]

shit cover man... im sort of embarassed

[KeithFlint350]

PEDAŁ

[izzimarczak]

hate and judgment. sad price to pay just so you could be yourself and free in this world. people should be free to express themselves in whichever way they choose. the fact that they get crucified for it speaks only about the rest of us.

[yellowcatme]

when nina simone sang this song it had depth and feeling

this sounds like a joke

regardless of how good he is at singing.

[omfgthisisaname]

He ruined it. Damn it.

[MissJuulke]

Covered, don't like it really I think the original is much better, even much much better

[MrBrammetjee]

Where this feeling? He sings it very fucked.

[Charlotte2010ish]

the pic at 1:43 seg. is not good... dont like it!

[xraisaxx]

isn't he great (ll)

[moosje1000]

GGAAAAAAY

[xxxilsexxx]

I think he does this great <3

[mandyroxurworld]

woo, Mika!

i loved the pic of the chicken. lol

[Camoflaugethechimera]

This is the worst cover I've ever heard

[Vvalerie123]

I like Mika, but please. You ruined my favourite song. It's not supposed to be sang like this, like it's just some cutesy song. The Nina Simone version is hartwrenching and magical and should NEVER be covered by anyone. /endrant

[Uktrayf]

@Vvalerie123 but she covered hair :/

[Jamesinnit]

I don't care if he's gay. He's a twat and that's all matters.

[aharper12]

Right, does it matter?

[cintmint]

I hate covers like this - some narcissistic 'artist' interested only in smothering their brand all over the music, rather than trying to bring out something in it they feel is worth calling attention to.

asshole.

[cintmint]

@cintmint (besides themselves). (yes I'm replying to myself).

[Hulahop36]

I agree with you cintmint, i suscribe all your words. Nina Simone don´t deserve that stupid cover from an stupid person, and less with this song about deep feelings from those that pseudo human beeing is not worth.

[sabadingo]

amen to that

[cintmint]

shit, shitty, shit shit shit

[cama9103]

I totallz agree with lgapost

[BrotherBullied]

nope. sorry.

[lgapost]

... a white man singing this?

I'm white too, but please... he isn't even a good singer... totally missplaces

[pianocartoon96]

One of best covers of everrrrrr!!!!!Mika is so f*****g amazing!!!

[asdqweasdqwe45]

@pianocartoon96 LOOOOOOOOOL

[midnightCREEPER]

Nina Simone es la mejor... pero esto es bien.

[paulsu27]

Haha, Mika's got his boobies! 1:33

[0casteloencantado0]

he doesn't even reach simone's footsteps, but at least it's fun.

[ingenueP]

depressed

[unintended78]

that was my fav song of Nina Simone omg, now i dont like this guy anymore

[bernieuskadi]

MIERDA joder!!!!!bas a comparar esto con nina!!!!

[aratzcmg]

pues está de puta madre la canción

[mperezde]

pero que asesinato de canción!!!!! dios pobre Nina

[absolutodesconocido]

la deveria cantar amy whinehouse , lo bordaria fijo

[fandanguez]

Sacrilegio.

[pauletaloca]

I like it, very respectful, and very brave to do a version of this song, because Nina Simone is really...indescriptible, but this guy...it seems to me that he's got his own style and I like it. I found it searching Nina's version, and I think I'm gonna search more by this guy, it's nice.

[MyTweety13]

always when he sings a song of another singer he sings it with his owln style

i like this

[paulrosscz]

how could this go so wrong..this song does'nt suit him at all!!!!

[ZionRoots83]

What you doing Mika???

Leave this song alone.

[jippyeugene]

mika had to go ruin the song >:(

[iixwh3l4nxii]

whats the name of the song like this on the mulller advert ,(not the one were they say got my cherry got ma berry) the one befor that????

[MrAlf2]

this guy is such a fruit. Truly butchering the song...

[Moshpitscum]

-4 c`mon, you can do better

[Moshpitscum]

i can say mika sucks!

[oOsprinklesOo]

You know, I understand completely if you're only used to listening to the original, but to say that Mika's sucks takes it too far. I mean, personally, I think Nina Simone's voice sounds much more natural with song, but he still sings it good. Plus he doesn't have an annoying vibrato that makes him sound like a sheep. Sometimes musicians have go out and achieve some of their own desires whether people like it or not, that's what it means to be into composition or any kind of art for that matter.

[Smiilliieess]

people can say what they want about this song, its not up to you, i personally dont like it, Mika is good at other songs, but i dnt think hes too good at this one

[Piritros]

You know what Nina Simone does with her voice is not a vibrato at all, it is called tremolo, and she does not sounds like a sheep at all, see?

[Eddieontv]

Annoying vibrato?? That's like saying that the beat of the drum, skillfully and intuitively keeping rhythm, is annoying! oOsprinklesOo, you are a certifiable idiot! Nina's version has over 2 million views, that "Annoying vibrato" was the voice of white and black Americans whose souls strained to express what only Nina could! How dare you, you insufferable ignoramus!

[oOsprinklesOo]

How dare I? Just because 2 million other people like Nina Simone, doesn't mean I have to. Just because her voice isn't my taste doesn't say anything about my intelligence. I don't have to like her style any more than I have to like any other genre's style. I never said she wasn't talented, I just don't like her goddamn vibrato! And I don't need to. You probably are the most closed minded person ever to comment me on Youtube, so don't worry, your animosity is requited, if that's any consolation.

[Eddieontv]

I will retract my calling you an idiot, but you should be careful about people and things with deep and symbolic meaning beyond your understanding of them...you might touch or even butcher something with your crude, ignorant mishandling. Don't address things you know nothing about...like music, for instance. And 2 million people's response to Nina is a similar indication as we find with the 1 billion people in China....We must conclude that rice is great stuff!

[oOsprinklesOo]

You preach about ignorance yet here you are labeling me. Speaking of music, I've played flute for 7 years. I use vibrato everyday. It's a tone color that people use for musical expression. Other people like hearing vibrato used in different ways. It's an abstract, you can't say someone's ignorant about music when it comes to vibrato, that's just stupid. Musically speaking I just don't like your favorite color, I'm not insulting you! Why do you take this all so personal anyhow?

[NaturalRelic]

I've read all the comments from the two of you so far, and you're obviously not a child, but your name calling belittles you.

I mean no offence from any of this, but it's arrogant of you to be holding your musical taste above another person's, and while I love that you are sharing some history behind the song, that doesn't mean that someone should like the song. It's okay for someone to disagree with you about what is good or tasteful in music. That is why different genres exist, after all!

[oOsprinklesOo]

are you commenting on eddieontv or me oOsprinklesOo? or both? if you're talking about any of my comments i can assure you that if you looked back on my comments i never once insulted someone with name calling. And by no means am putting myself above anyone.

[Eddieontv]

Your treatment of Ms. Simone in your initial, flippant response is as reckless as saying one doesn't like Martin Luther King's cadence when preaching, while the content and the context of his prophetic voice trumpeting truth to a society in critical and conscientious denial is the point!

[oOsprinklesOo]

You treat Nina like she's some god, but she's just another human. I know you don't want to hear this but the world would survive without her. I'm not saying that she isn't influential it's just that if you wipe any one human off this planet, life will still go on. Don't expect an apology, I have freedom of speech and I don't have to refine my language just to make you feel better. I don't know what world you're living in if you think simply comparing Nina's vibrato to a sheep is crude...

[Caroo2]

I'm not telling you who to like or not to like. Maybe thats what you gatheredfrom whoeve replied first, but in response to your first comment, as much as I usually love covers this cover of the song with his ascending screechs at the end of lines, his slightly out of time singing and just a share lack of honesty in his voice. This isn't a good cover simply because it lacks the realistic-ness. Funny thinng about freedom of speech, everyone else has the same freedom to judge your comments.

[NaturalRelic]

You're quite right, and my apologies.

I thought it would be rude to point too much.

[Caroo2]

Lots of great singers have strong vibratos. Specially country singers. It was quite popular in the past because it brought alot more emotion in a song. People such as dolly parton. You don't have to like Nina but you could been just a bit more respectful and not compare her to a sheep because the noises that Mika makes in a song are just...well their not always pleasant to here. Nobody is saying you have to like her.

[oOsprinklesOo]

@Caroo2 YOU aren't saying i have to like her, but Eddieontv is. I just don't like her voice, this doesn't mean i have no respect. Hell, i LIKE Mika and i don't like some of the things he does with his voice and i would have no problem with comparing his voice to animal if need be. this is NOT about respect. if you have a problem with bluntness that's different, i don't do shit for people as sensitive as you and Eddieontv, i'd drown if i spent all my time trying to make people like you happy.

[Caroo2]

@oOsprinklesOo So you think its better to spend your life comparing people to sheep than simply say, "I personally don't like nina's voice but I do like this song". You think it makes me sensitive to expect human being to act civilized. You don't have to be an asshole to be blunt. I don't know why people think they need to be Simon cowl to say something as simple as "I don't like her singing voice." You said stuff like "the world would survive without her" which is uncalled for but whatever...

[soraya218]

@oOsprinklesOo , mika doesn't suck.. he is good in what he does.. but honestly.. he killed this song..

[kkg76]

@oOsprinklesOo hmmm.. artistry huh? Where does 'orginality' fit into your equation? Only Nina can sing this - sorry!

[etsneroj]

Mmmmm, no. It sucks. I'm going to write to my congressman and suggest they stop waterboarding detainees in Guantanamo Bay and force them to listen to this instead.

[marinapruteanu]

Compared to the great Nina Simone's rendition of this song, Mika's version sucks ass, hard!

[Larssos]

i think mika is a silly person

[AKIM1231]

Oh no, not this again! I hate this discussions about his sexuality...-.-' He's a great singer, so who cares about if he's gay or not?

[MissLoveMika]

@AKIM1231 that's so right :)

[josemeco]

@AKIM1231 He is NOT a GREAT SINGER!!

[josemeco]

@AKIM1231 who says he is a great singer??

[spiralslarips]

[MekaMurderSceneX]

Much Better Than The Origonal SO You Asswipes Leave MIKA Alone.....

[cheerskiwi]

Mika makes everything gay

[bonitaxoxo]

[royroy95]

Too bad for him to ruin such a beautiful song, of a such a huge artist like Nina Simone was... gay.

[xCUBITUSx]

He didn't ruin it at all , i like both versions

[elpipo0o]

[bobjimijanis]

[hipinion]

[theMCRmybaby]

hahaha he's got his boobies =p and is that a penis hanging round his kneck at 0.56?

anyways, i think mika is really good and unique, but he should leave the mullier adverts to nina!

[AKIM1231]

lol, it's not a penis, it's a bone XD

[theMCRmybaby]

lmao XD oh rite, now you say it, it's really obvious haha

it's a good idea for a necklace tho! =p

[evacanela]

Actually, a couple of year ago, a guy in a park help me fix mi broken sandal and he had around his neck a white penis necklace... funny, but disturbing =P

[theMCRmybaby]

hahahaha legend, yeah you're right a bit disturbing... lol i want one though x]

[pheeddapheed]

why does he ruin a song filled with so much emotion. I know I cant say anything cus Im not a fan of mika, but I had to say that this song is officially ruined now I heard this. waydago mika:'(

[amarant4]

Meh Thought I Should Check It Out Cos I Love Nina Simone, Mika's Good But I Think He Should Have Left This Song Alone.

[LaurenPenniman]

ahhh!! iv never heard him sing this song before.. lol YYAYY!!! ... andddd he songs just as good as ALWAYS!!  <3

[Smiley32190]

what an amazing person. He's got a wonderful voice and such opptimism and color for life! We should all try to be more like him...take the advice from his songs and his view on life! Mika rules!!!!

[lauvevideitos]
