when i was in year6(aged 10-2010) we went on a school trip to a war museum. instead me and my friends sang we are golden the whole day. i also heard blame it on the girls.

in year7 (aged 11-2011) i got an ipod which enabled me to rekindle my love for life in cartoon motion. mika also inspired me to step out of the box and win two consecutive art competitions in the region.

in year8 (aged12/13- 2012) i got bullied to the point where i wouldnt even talk to my family, but i had my ipod. i downloaded every single mika song, learnt all of the lyrics and fell in love. i have fully regained my confidence.

now mika just about controls my life, as i have taken up piano and singing. i am currently trying to write some songs to fill up my portfolio. mika is an inspiration, and a lifeline. i dont know how id cope without his music. i recently won tickets to heaven but i live 200 miles away, so with one daay notice, it was impossible for me to get there.

oh and remember, just because im 13 doesnt mean i act young. i am completely different to my peers and they too will say im mature. mika loves you

btw how does mfc work, im confused

Hey and welcome to our little loony bin, MFC

nice introduction

Dreamerxd · 28-07-2012, 03:44 PM

Ok, so i better introduce myself too (:

I'm 19, from Denmark and a Cooks apprentice.

In my sparetime (Not that i have that much of it) i like playing the piano.

and draw (:

I have tattoos, and i love every single one! My first tattoo was the smiley logo from Nirvana on my left foot, 2nd was both my parents birthdates on my left arm, 3rd John Lennon cartoon face on left arm and last but not least the quote "Love Today" also on my left arm.

So yeah. I'm from a small town, not that far from Copenhagen, i live in my own flat with a friend, who's a student.

I work in a italian restaurant in Copenhagen (In the michelin guide

) and since i work 12-14 hours 5 days a week, i don't have that much sparetime.
I see cooking as an art, not just making it look good and delicious, but also making it taste amazing without that many or expensive ingredients.

I allways knew i would work as a Chef, since both my mom and my brother are chefs.

Uhm.. Other than that i'm a huge fan of the beatles, John Lennon more specified! Queen, P.J. Proby, dr. Hook, CCR, Cliff Richard, Tom Jones. Yes, I'm oldies rolling!

And ofc, MIKA!

I discovered Mika when Grace Kelly came out, and been a fan ever since!

Unfortunately i didn't go to a gig before this summer on July 4th @Nibe Festival, Denmark.

All in all i'm an oldies rolling, artistic and pretty uncool 19 year old from Denmark

Hi everybody,

My name is Daniela and I come from Bolivia.

I am 23 now and finishing my studies in Engineering, I have lived in Bolivia, the US and now I'm living in Lyon, France.

I have a big problem with passion, I have too much of it, for everything that I like, I love music (I sing), painting, writing and riding a bike. I love knitting scarves (not the knitting MFC kind..), I love sunrises, sunsets, wind and rain. People say I have a heart instead of skin for I feel everything very intensely.

I got to hear Mika when Relax was just on the radio when it came out in 2006, and I instantly became a huge fan with Grace Kelly after that, I had always struggled with fitting in anywhere, and a song that sang exactly what I had been feeling since I could remember was litterally a life saver at that time.

I started working to be able to pay my studies in Europe (Bolivia is beautiful but I needed to dream of big opportunities) and I finally got accepted to a university in France.

I was already a big fan of Mika when I moved to France, there was a concert in a little village in the middle of France my first year away from home, I hadn't seen my family for over a year and I was feeling more of a foreigner than ever. Not having so much money, the day I saw in some billboards he was going to sing in the Aix le Bains Lake's Festival I promised myself I had to find every single penny in my room to be able to pay for the ticket. I went hitchhiking to the village, without even a place to stay there over the night. During the concert it was raining and while others were complaining I thought it was perfect, such fredom, such joy with his music, I was finally seeing my favorite singer live! (nobody goes to Bolivia to do such concerts...), never had I seen such a magical show, that concert made me forget everything outside of that moment and it was well worth spending the night on the street afterwards to catch the first train back to Lyon the next morning.

I really admire him, but I don't think I'd scream at the sight of him, I wouldn't run towards him telling him how much I adore him because I think he is a normal person like everybody else, and I would be afraid if someone came running screaming they loved me... although that's the price to pay for being so talented (could be worse huh?

)

But I would definately stand in line for hours and hours to be in the front row of his concerts, and probably stay for hours and hours after his shows just to have the opportunity of greeting him and thank him for what his music did for my life. The more I get to know his music, his blogs, his interviews, the more I think that he is a great person, and I hope one day I'll get to know him personally just to be able to have one normal conversation with him. A girl can dream...

Until then I will keep on saving to be able to pay for a ticket for his next concert, this time in Lyon! I am even thinking of asking to volunteer in the organisation of the event if I don't get to save enough

Anyhow I would like to thank all of you who didn't get bored with my long presentation.

If there are any MFCers in Lyon, it'd be a pleasure to meet you somewhere here, for all the rest, I would really like to meet you around Europe and the world!!

<3 <3 love everywhere

That's a very beautiful post, Daniela

Welcome to the MFC and I hope you'll be able to go to Lyon!

Hi everybody !

My name's Salomé. I'm 18 and I live in Belgium, near Liège (Luik).
I study foreign languages (English, Dutch & Japanese thanks to extra lessons) in Brussels. I fell in love with the UK when I was just a kid. I know this is no heaven but I've always enjoyed each trips I made there. The last one was in Edinburgh and I really do miss this place ! I'm really fascinated by foreign cultures and I hope to be able to study for a year in Japan in the future.
I can speak English pretty fluently but it's not perfect though and for Dutch, talking remains hard but it's getting better since I started watching Dutch & Flemish movies, which I love by the way

So if any Dutch speaker needs help with French, I'm YOUR MAN (well, girl, but you get what I mean ^^').

I can't really tell when I discovered Mika... The fact is that I needed time to fully appreciate his work. I first heard "Grace Kelly" when it was aired on radio here. I thought the song was really amazing but this was the only one I knew and it was played over & over again on radio so for some time, I couldn't bear it anymore... "Relax" came a bit after, as well as "Happy Ending", and these two songs could NOT get out of my head. I remember singing them whenever I was on my own... And it all began, I was addicted

I was pretty young at that time so I would have never thought of asking my parents to go & see Mika's gig :') But for the 2nd album, I was ready ! The CD was released a bit after my birthday and right away, I booked tickets for his gig in Antwerp

Although it was rescheduled, I could still go and this day remains as one of the best in my life. :> The only regret I have is not having taken a few pictures but my friend was afraid we couldn't get in with a camera, no need to tell you that I won't listen to her next time

HAHA However, not having a camera maybe allowed me to fully enjoy the gig, I was taken away by Mika's magicn singing, jumping and so on

I loved the part he said "Dat is Mika en ik ben dood", as I said, I'm not Dutch but I can understand and I just thought it was really cute when he said it :>
I couldn't make it to his last 2 gigs in Belgium so I'm REALLY looking forward to see him in Brussels in November.

DD I don't really know if I'd like to meet him... I'd love to greet him for his work but I'm always scared of annoying artists after their gigs :'(
We'll see :')

Beside Mika, I listen to artists such as Emilie Simon, Charlie Winston (YOU HAVE TO GO TO ONE OF HIS GIGS ! *_*), Olivia Ruiz, Dionysos, The Black Keys, Ayaka, Greeeen, Saule, Selah Sue, AKS, Kate Nash, ect.

It's been a while since I didn't came here. The fact was that I couldn't log in anymore, I couldn't get back my lost password =.=' but miracles happens and I could finally fully access the forum ! I'm back~ I have kept reading news on the forum but being REALLY part of it is much better though.

Really happy to be back :-)

Thank you for reading ^^''

Hi Salomé!

Welcome back! I'm happy you decided to post some more and I'll probably see you in Brussels then! (Ik ben Vlaamse

)

Antwerp was amazing for sure, such a fantastic energy from the audience! And... Mika agreed! (have you seen the interview at suikerrock?)

So true about Charlie Winston! Did you go to his gig at forest national in 2010 as well?

Anyway, hope to see you around!

Hi !

Oh great ! We'll probably meet there then

Waar kom jij vandaan ?
Maybe I talked to you on the facebook page of the event while ordering the tickets. xD I talked with some Flemish people that were also having troubles to order them.

I had missed Charlie's gig at Forest National but I went to his last one (last April) at the AB and it was really magic. He dived in the crowd and played with the audience, it was really cool !! He is currently in Belgium (maybe not in Brussels though) to produce Saule's new CD.

Hello! I'm Vicki and Im from the US. I just started college and have been a huge fan of Mika and his music since I first heard "Grace Kelly" in 8th grade. I just joined the MFC, and I'm really excited to get to talk with other Mika fans!! My older sister was the one to introduce me to his music and now 5 years later we're finally going to see him live at The Vic in Chicago in exactly 2 weeks! ^_^

When I'm not listening to Mika I love to listen to a very wide variety of music, but some of my favorites are Regina Spektor, Daft Punk, Matt & Kim, and Darren Criss (any Glee fans? :P).In my spare time I love to read, bake, drink tea, get involved in service projects, and attempt jogging every now and then.

Well, that's about it I believe..I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to talk with fans from around the world!

To make it easier for MFCers to welcome you, you should start your own thread here & tell us a little about yourself (pretty much like you did here

)

I cannot believe it's been over three years since I last posted. Since then, I've fallen in love,gotten married to the love of my life, and since the new album came out I thought I'd pop in and see what's going on. Kind of hoping Mika travels to the US again soon-I'd love to take my husband to a show

Not sure if anyone would remember me but hello nonetheless!

I remember you!

I'm so happy to hear about your marriage! When did you get married? And where? I get so curious about weddings.
