Mika will no longer be a coach in “The Voice”, he reveals his reasons

Unbelievable but true. If it is one of his greatest successes, MIKA had never performed his hit “Lollipop” on television. The error is now repaired since this hit opened the last number of “Taratata” Friday evening on France 2, in a version which began with piano-voice before taking on the air of a big band with a gospel choir. “ I've done it at festivals, but never on a TV show. In fact, she is fragile » smiles the Lebanese-British artist: “ It is [une version] like Harry Nilsson, it's a reference for me! Songs are conversations. The conversations we compose must evolve. I love the idea that a song that I started when I was 20, and now I'm 41, it can evolve and take on new life ».

“I’ll cut that back.”

And during the show presented by Nagui, MIKA spoke with emotion about the disappearance of his mother, before making a shock announcement: he will never again be a coach on “The Voice”! An emblematic figure of the TV show in which he sat for eight seasons, the interpreter of “C'est la vie” has decided to take a step back and leave the famous red chair. “ You move around a lot, you travel a lot. You have a life both as an artist, a singer, but also as a host who performs in shows » asked Nagui, before MIKA don’t respond straight away: “ I'm reducing that now. In France it's over, I'm stopping all my TV shows in France ». « Well thank you for coming here anyway » Nagui then retorted with humor, before winking at his role in “The Voice”: “ Don't you want the chair to turn around anymore? You want him to stay straight and you can talk quietly, right? “. Enough to make the 41-year-old artist laugh, who did not elaborate on the subject, even if he clarified that he will still continue to come and present his albums.
