Mika - Elle Me Dit (in English) @ Das Festival, Schaffhausen in Switzerland 6.8.2011

[purplekiwee137]

His backup dancers are adorably sexy. XD

[blackwingmaster48]

he didn't sing too great in english but I don't care! He had the spirit to admit that he'll "fuck it up!" :D

[SnackAttac]

As of now I prefer the French version, but then again I cant really hear him in this video.....

[PianoBird04]

"And I know I'm going to fuck. it. up." -3

[CallumJ230]

English version is sooooo good

[NoodleMakeover]

J'aime le les deux facons. Mais je desteste que les personnes crient ou aplaudisse c'est juste ennuyant. Mais j'aime le encore.

[Kiki5012]

En francais est meilleur

[dudy090]

Je prefer en anglais

[stalkmeimfam0us]

wow its also amazing in english :D

[1875HIBEESFC]

LOL at when he says "I know I'm going to fuck it up" in a french accent".

[papapanda15]

i cannot hear him at all!!!! awww but i know its a good song <3

[Dottie459]

The english version is good, but I like it better in french that was how it originally was supposed to be in and that's why it sounds a little better than the english because it's just how the song was meant to be sung in.

[LittleAsianBear]

The French version is better, even though it's a little harder to understand

[brigid1895]

i love this song!! the french is better though

[CallumJ230]

I WANT AN ENGLISH VERSION

[eduardomv00]

the french version is better!

[lily7br4e]

the english version it's good!

[rinkagamine991]

"And I know I'm going to fuck-it-up." Don't worry Mika, you didnt XDDD

[cezrandomperson98]

@rinkagamine991 I love it when he says that ♥ Its like n'aww course you won't :DD

[theworldgonebad]

Like it better en français

[boredlikeomg]

I HATE LIVE VIDEOS COS OF THE ANNOYING PEOPLE WHO SCREAMS AND WOO!

[tibsu14]

@boredlikeomg The idea of live concert videos is to remember the situation, and people do sing and scream a lot at gigs (sometimes it's annoying, I know). If you like to hear his beautiful voice better I recommend to watch his official videos or professionally made live recordings.

[ljt45dend]

i'm an american and i think the french version is alot better

[KauKatKay]

I'm american, and love Mika but can't speak french, so this is great thank you!

[KittyKIM29]

@KauKatKay

[KauKatKay]

@KittyKIM29 woohoo! virtual high-five! :D

[amigapower57]

[BEYOURSELF2309]

There will be an english version :) a english studio version :D

[impkane88]

it's doing **WELL ... j'aime mika hehehe

[ravenclawgirl142]

I love it! But I'm pretty sure that the lyrics aren't the same as the french ones at some points in the song. But please tell me if I'm wrong!

[llides]

@ravenclawgirl142 Yep, the lyrics are slightly different from the French version, especially the third verse (3:52) which is TOTALLY different. The other 2 verses are pretty much the same idea as their equivalents in French.

[ExsRAUS]

@ravenclawgirl142 The lyrics are a little different.

[jhostomsky]

Come to America? Please?

[mhjfhyu]

Français !!! :) Mignon, Bonito, Lindo :)

[mhjfhyu]

me gusta la version en frances. J'aime la V. Fr

[ladypola21]

Why can't I stop looking at Mika's really tight pants that is showing his- You know what it is and drool?

[TheKaydoss]

I speak english, but I have no idea what he's saying. :(

[LadyGagacy424]

Is there the official studio version??

Eng version is as good as the french one!!!

[tibsu14]

@LadyGagacy424 Unfortunately there is no studio version yet, hopefully soon, the English version is brilliant! 

[lexicaljewel]

@LadyGagacy424 agree! Love them both!

[MissBoopeedofyfull]

1:03 LOL HE SWORE

[MissBoopeedofyfull]

coolest piano everrrrr (:

[Shackize]

when is he releasing this song in English on iTunes?! he's awesome!

[mumofbreaker]

@Shackize It's not on English iTunes as far as I know. I wish with all my heart he'd release this in England. It's so unusual it would be a hit, I'm sure!

[MrsFantasielos]

I LOVE the english lyrics !!! So amazing *_*

She tells me

Can't you write a happy song ?

Get your ass to number one !

you could try a little harder !! :D

I just can't stop listening to this *_*

[HeyYeah360]

brits are weird

[heather85420]

I love you Mika ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[FoxxxDante1]

I Can't Understand Anything, And I Want To Hear It In English >.<

[stjepanovic84]

@mena3999 noone knows the English lyrics, as that was the first time he performed it in English, and the English people surely don't speak French...

[justinlovespastry]

AHHHH

[Unbridled396]

"she tells me write a happy song, get your ass to number 1" ohhhh mika i love you :P

[mena3999]

There is like NO ONE there! There is barley anyone clapping! I'd be there, singing along!!!!!!1!

[Kevyy91]

lol i know im going to fuck-it-up :L

[LineStarz3]

i can't explain how much i love this man, and how much his music has done to me. I LOVE THIS SONG TOO! And in french it's just hot xD

[LoveHateLoveHate100]

OMG il est tres tres tres tres sexy. Beacoup sexy. :D

[alvin93140]

en francais c'est mieux comeme

[paganboy1982]

En francais sil vous plait! But still funny and a good try. Its certainly a french song. Dont fix something that isnt broke. Oh well still fine.

[sciencegeek589]

Awesome :)

[thekillers274]

I really love how he slides his hand down the mic stand when he says "But I'm not going to song it for you in French." he's so cute. "and I know I'm going to. Fuck. It. Up." I thought his English version was funny and cute. Mika. I love you so so much.

[MikaMad14]

I know this song has sad lyrics but I can't help but feel turned on hearing him sing this. LOL

[starshipranger97]

wow. I just found Mika, and the song is really catchy but his dancing is making me laugh really hardXD

[Cereghini]

@starshipranger97

He actually can dance, but it's hard to do it when you're singing at the same time. Check out the videos for Blame it on the Girls and Rain and you'll see what I mean.

I saw him live once a few years ago, and what amazed me is that he never once stoped moving, and I'm talking about an hour-and-a-half long concert here. He's got an incredible amount of energy.

[thekillers274]

@starshipranger97 haha, the funny thing is, when I listen to this song and I dance I look exactly the same!

[Lady59ful]

J'adore les chansons de mika en anglais mais cette version est mieux en francais !!!

[kyoujinkrista2]

I love the French version, but I find the way he changed this really funny and awesome. I think it sounds really good, and he did a great job at changing the lyrics to still fit :)

[emi1708]

ça le fait mieux en français !!!

[T0yota95]

c'est bein mieux en français

[6277Dajana]

The both versions are good, I mean it's MIKA's work. :)

[SlangeF]

I must be crazy... i hate french (just the language... i suck at it xP) and i think it's better in french o.O xD 

[MinDiliPhotography]

@SlangeF Yes,you're right x) I'm French,but I think like you Lol x)

[mmcmee]

what nationality is he?

[shaunk421]

@mmcmee he was born in Lebanon

[Deliverater]

@mmcmee Lebonese

[Shinbahamut23]

She tells me it's my life Don’t get to live it twice One day you'll understand Become a better man She's pulling out her hair But says she doesn't care She doesn't make no sense Screaming at me in French Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie (Why are you wasting this life?) Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie Danse danse danse Elle me dit (She tells me)

[Gerdundula99]

Great!

[yesinicolao]

i llove this song! and love yours pants! jajaajaja

[MorganMevel]

pourquoi tout le monde préfère la version Française, moi je les aime autant toutes les deux!

why everybody prefer french version, i like the english as the french !

[zorbazig]

One person is a French Revolutionary !!!

[CrazyChloe15]

I love this video so much :')

This is what I admire about Mika, he can just go out there & say to the crowd, "sorry if it's rubbish", but he knows we'll still have mega love for him, because he tried his absolute hardest.

I love both versions of EMD. The French EMD was obviously amazing, but he's completely rocked the English version too!

YO MIKA!!! <3

[BaJackieBa]

Je prefere en Français x)

[columbus217]

@BaJackieBa Alas English is the language of the world! :D

[xExpressUrSelfx]

And I know I'm going to fuck it up....no worries Mika, we love it. The english lyrics are a bit witty and I love them. Hope you record this version as well.

[NYLKEN]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo i like the french version and i dont speak french

[whostolethewaffles]

I need to see this brilliantly talented man in concert at some point in my life... :)

[xExpressUrSelfx]

@whostolethewaffles I'm from the US, so I hope that he decides to come back to visit us here in the future. Until then, videos like these hold me over. :)

[TheXimenable]

She tells me can you write a happy song . GET YOUR ASS TO NUMBER ONE!! aaaggh love the lyrics !

[marytahti]

I only just noticed that is says "6.7.2011" in the title - but it was in August :-)

[tibsu14]

@marytahti Thanks, I corrected it!

[TheGoldenPoodle1]

I <3 IT! And I love mika's dancing. and his tights. xD

[rvleevee]

Lyrics are on the MFC. They are very good.

[swapforapairofpaws]

the english lyrics are genius! gooooo mika!

[deementia]

brilliant song, both ways! but this just made my dreams come true

[zorbazig]

Thanx for posting this vid ! I attended both concerts - Paleo and Schaffhausen ! Both were great - but do you know why they were only 6 onstage in Schaffhausen ? They were 11 at the Paleo...

[rvleevee]

What an excellent re-working in English - far more than just a translation. Lyrics anyone?

Thanks for posting

[CheyennePenniman]

aww . In the first bit he looks really shy and nervous <3

[nightlyspell]

I couldn't hear the lyrics very well, and I really wanted to hear them damn :\ but it sounds just as good in english! I REALLY wished he did an english version for this! *O* and now it's here!!! YAY! I love both of them actually, but at least I can understand more of it now!

There's no reason to feel offended if he releases a song in any language other than english, as long as it's available worldwide and not just in one country. *That* doesn't seem fair, not the language of the song...

[EliRothZacharyQuinto]

Thank You SOOOOO Much!!!!

[dcdeb]

I really, really love this in English! Thanks, Nina!

[Bopsterjazz]

I have so much love for you right now.

[pampiel]

Thank you sooooo much Nina!! Your videos are always great.....Thanks for hsaring!! Muchos besos

[kyevitsa]

Thank you a lot Nina!!!!

I love French version and I love the English one! What can be better?

[tyty93200]

I'm in fucking love with hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiim!!! <3<3<3 O_O

[MikaTheHoosiers]

I much prefer the English version than the French version because I can understand what he is saying =D

[TheXimenable]

Can someone write the lyrics in English for me?! :) I would love it!!

[CheyennePenniman]

I'm glad Mika did an English version . I wasn't so excited about it but it's amazing . Way too good to just be a bonus track on the French version of the album . I think Meeks has got a hit here :D <3

[ACLAYsuper]

*T4P*

[KMSsisters]

I love the english version much more, probably cos I can understand it and I can't understand the french version xD It has more meaning and humour for me.

[DarkAngel1983DK]

Cant wait to hear the album/single version. i have kinda feared what the english version would be like ever since he mentioned there were an english version too! Glad he did it live. better than nothing :) Thx a mill. Nina

[littlemissrockeuse]

is it in english ?? the quality is horrible I don't understand one word ... :s but I prefer in French as well !!

[skipitop]

I prefer the French version too

[mumofbreaker]

It's wonderful! I wasn't one of the ppl who wanted an English version, I love the French EMD. But I love what he's done with the song now, because this song is too good to be just a bonus track in France! This could be a worldwide hit for our maestro, and I think he's realising this himself! Please Mika, let it be on all of the copies of the new album, either in French, for French speakers, or this English/French version, for the rest of us. It's so awesome!!

[Kodes100]

T4P tibsu14.

I prefer ELLE ME DIT in French. But this vid is really funny.

ELLE ME DIT was written in French & too many English speaking people leaving comments about it on youtube seem to be offended.

Of course a lot of those people want LICM 2,3 4 & 5 instead of loving how Mika is evolving & putting out the music & art he wants.

Kudos Mika!

[LoveHateLoveHate100]

@Kodes100 Well i was born american and have studied french. :D I like it in french better. Sounds cooler lol.

[jojotje61]

Perfect combination: strong French chorus and understandeble English lyrics! O God, please let it be a number one hit for Meeks again!

[MinaAlisa]

I love it!!! Thank you for the video!!! :)

[blueskymika]

Well these lyrics are interesting - what does he say about speaking JAPANESE???LOL

Thanks for posting Nina...still like the French chorus.

[ledieumika]

i love it <3

[eddb2405]

Thank you for this, interesting hearing it in English.

[MikaMad1]

Thanks for posting :) I love way he says 'French' when he sings the chorus! :)

[ysa83]

Thank you Nina !!!! Don't know what to think atm lol .... must re-listening again and again 8)

[dotka09]

T4P! Love it but I still prefer French version:)
