  1. Thank you Anna for your report, full of details that I missed from the front row (and here I want to thank Mika's team, MFC and @dcdeb for organizing and allowing us to enter earlier in the most controlled, relaxed and peaceful way - this will make the Bercy2024 memories even brighter for sure). Like all these hearts... WOW, so heartwarming to see that everyone follow the show so attentively from the front to the back! I actually thought I was one of the few people doing it lol, and I was so much enjoying the moment that I didn't even think of looking behind me. Can't wait to see official videos! Some other random thoughts and impressions of the night: - The rainbow fan action worked out really well, and it was amazing to finally witness it since it didn't work in 2019 as Anna mentioned. Mika's was visibly touched and I can confirm the view from the front was incredible. When he asked to darken the room and show our rainbow, it felt like we were back at Bercy 2016 during Underwater with all the lights going up at the same time. - Talking about Underwater, I felt like being in a mix of Bercy 2016 and Bercy 2019: during the song everyone spontaneously lightened up their lights and, once again, it felt like we were back at Heaven tour, but then when he asked everyone to sing as loud as they can, it was like reliving Bercy 2019. It's always a powerful moment. - We had a loooot of confetti, a looot of stage sparks, and even fireworks at some point (can't remember which song) And finally, I loved to hear the instrumental of "I see you" at the end of the gig. I'll upload some videos below. EDIT: I don't know why, it doesn't let me upload videos... I'll try later
  2. The thing I don’t understand is why people, instead of imposing the way they want it to be managed, they don’t try to understand and adapt to how our system works since years. If I didn’t know MFC and suddenly discover that thanks to the forum some people got some benefits, I’d try to understand how to use it in order to get those benefits too next time, instead of pretending to change things and tell others how things should be done. We all agree that the forum is not easy to navigate at first, but with time and goodwill everything becomes clearer; I still learn things 9 years later…
  3. I do also hear "défait cette danse" instead of "tes fesses, elles dansent" (he doesn't pronounce any L sound) and "une bulle en baisse" for the double S sound as someone mentioned.
  4. Yes, in the Italian interview with Gianluca Gazzoli (which is now subtitled!) Gianluca asks him what the necklace was, and he explains that the best jewellery shops in the world are the tourist shops in museums where they reproduce art pieces into earrings or necklaces etc. So yes, it should definitely be some Mexican piece of art! Thank you for the detailed report!
  5. Off topic but I couldn't resist making comparisons between languages - professional deformation, you know... We have the same saying in italian, and it is apparently super international: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/when-the-cats-away-the-mice-will-play.1764464/
  6. Or we just have to keep in mind that he loves guessing numbers and changing them at each single interview whatever the subject is... Same in 2017, when he said that *of course* the album will come out next year, and then we only got MNIMH at the end of 2019. Same in 2021 when he teased us with some spoilers during short IG lives or stories... next year... next year... next year... will we ever hear Modern Times again? Agree
  7. Since some people asked for Michela’s poem to be translated, here it is in English and French! I put the Italian version as well so that you can see where it originally rhymes. 🇮🇹 Signore e signori, ode a Mika Eccoti qui di nuovo sul palco Tu che sei così alto, ma non solo di statura Il tuo genio è senza misura Artista totale, Sai cantare, ballare, intrattenere e disegnare Sai creare con intelligenza e sensibilità Leggerezza e profondità! Puoi infiammare una piazza Canti e la gente diventa pazza! Spargi ovunque l’allegria E come per magia la tristezza scappa via La tua musica e potente Scuote il cuore e accende la mente La tua energia è incontenibile Sei un performer incredibile Nelle tue canzoni trovo tutto: gioia, dolore, difficoltà, resilienza, amore e libertà Con te, il pensiero e la parola possono farsi materia e la fantasia vola (stasera non c’è il pianoforte non c’è però…) I tuoi abiti sono poesia Racconto ed eleganza E nei dettagli hanno importanza Ormai da anni il tuo mondo colorato È da noi italiani approdato Ci hai stupito e meravigliato in un italiano un po’ stentato Ora lo parli fluentemente, altra cosa in cui sei eccellente L’Italia è un paese strano, ma qui c’è sole passione calore e si mangia a tutte le ore A te piace mangiare quindi non ti puoi lamentare Posso andare avanti per ore ma lo show può continuare Prima di andare però lasciamo dire, insieme al pubblico se mi segue, una cosa devi sapere Ogni volta che tornerai qui avrai sempre il nostro: amore 🇬🇧 Ladies and gentlemen, ode to Mika Here you are on stage again You, who are so tall, but not only in stature Your genius is without measure A total artist, You can sing, dance, entertain and draw You can create with intelligence and sensitivity Lightness and depth! You can set a square on fire, You sing and people go crazy! You spread cheerfulness everywhere And like magic the sadness runs away Your music is powerful It shakes the heart and ignites the mind Your energy is irrepressible You are an incredible performer! I find everything in your songs: joy, pain, difficulty, resilience, love and freedom. With you, thoughts and words can become matter and imagination flies (the piano isn’t here tonight but anyway…) Your clothes are poetry, Stories and elegance And the details are so important For years now your colorful world Has landed here in Italy You have astonished and amazed us with your faltering italian Now you speak it fluently, another thing you’re excellent at Italy is a strange country, but we have art, passion and warmth And we eat at all hours You like to eat so you can't complain I can go on for hours but the show must go on Before I go, let me say, along with the audience if they follow me, one thing you need to know, Whenever you come back here you'll always find our: love 🇫🇷 Mesdames et Messieurs, une ode à Mika Te revoilà sur scène Toi qui es si grand, mais pas seulement de taille Ton génie est sans mesure Artiste complet Tu sais chanter, danser, entretenir et dessiner Tu sais créer avec intelligence et sensibilité Avec légèreté et profondeur ! Tu peux mettre le feu dans une place pleine Tu chantes et les gens deviennent fous ! Tu propage la joie partout Et comme par magie la tristesse s'en va Ta musique est puissante Elle secoue le cœur et illumine l'esprit Ton énergie est incontrôlable Tu es un artiste incroyable Dans tes chansons, je trouve tout : la joie, la douleur, la difficulté, la résilience, l'amour et la liberté. Avec toi, les pensées et les mots peuvent devenir matière et la fantaisie s'envole (il n'y a pas de piano ce soir, mais bon...) Tes vêtements sont poésie histoires et élégance Et dans les détails une grande importance Depuis des années, ton monde coloré est arrivé chez nous les Italiens Tu nous as étonnés et émerveillés avec ton italien un peu maladroit Aujourd'hui, tu le parles couramment, un autre aspect dans lequel tu excelles L'Italie est un pays étrange, mais ici il y a l’art, la passion, la chaleur et on mange à toute heure Tu aimes manger, tu ne peux pas te plaindre Je pourrais continuer pendant des heures, mais le spectacle doit continuer Avant de partir, laisse-moi te dire… avec le public s'il me suit, une chose tu dois savoir Chaque fois que tu reviendras ici, tu trouveras toujours notre: amour
  8. During the intro I wondered if he was talking like that weather radio program that talked about sea winds or something like that (from second 30 to 40 more or less). Did I recognise it well? I think he talked about it during the Versailles gig but can’t rewatch it now
  9. They're not bad at all! And this one looks very professional 😍 Did you make any video outsite the venue when he was there? I see you were almost behind where I was (or in the "2 meters drop behind me" )
  10. Mika on German tv? Is that the ZDF mic @mellody? RPReplay_Final1689191572.mov RPReplay_Final1689191572.mov
  11. Report time! I’m not used to write gig reports but I feel like I have to this time - can someone please bring me back to reality? Cattolica is one of the typical sea towns of my region, so I definitely didn’t want to miss a “home” gig but I didn’t know if I could make it until the very last few days since the deadline for submitting my master degree’s thesis was two days after the gig day. I managed to finish it in advance and was lucky enough to find some good tickets on Fansale a few days before. Since I saw several French festivals last year and that nothing new had been released in between, I wasn’t expecting anything special or different from last year, I was just happy to finally meet some familiar faces again. But as soon as we distributed pink balloons and the concert started, I felt like I was finally back into our world where everything was okay. I loved each single moment of the gig: the new arrangements and transitions between songs are so strong this year - wow; not to mention the flower themed outfits and piano, and of course Overrated which is so powerful live and different from the symphonic version we heard in Florence. It was then followed by Good Guys and Stardust that he rarely does in France so I really loved the setlist this time - many changes I didn’t expect!! A part from that I loved his mood and felt he was happy to be there again. At the beginning he said that he felt very lucky that so many people were there and bought tickets despite what happened last year (with the Italian tour) and what happened with the floods that hit our region a month ago. He came in the audience 3 or 4 times, for BG, GG, HE and also with a bottle of champagne to shoot in the middle of the audience the cover photo for Vanity Fair that will be published on his birthday next month. 😎 The audience was super involved and never sat down, even non-fans. I spent the whole second part of the show standing, dancing and singing *on* my chair - another wild thing I didn’t expect lol He chatted quite a lot, saying that he needs to improve his Italian (not true) and that he’s re-using Duolingo for Chinese and Greek (“for complicated reasons I can’t tell” cit). He read several signs and said that he couldn’t repeat some of them “especially because we’re in a town called Cattolica” (= Catholic 😂) and then accepted to bring Zita on stage during UW. The gig ended with WAG and we didn’t get the green cape+tiger, neither Lollipop - maybe he just run out of time. We waited for him at the end of the show and it was a really nice moment between MFCers!! Almost an hour later he came out and kindly stopped with everyone, signing things and saying hi, but didn’t want to use his voice much. On a personal note, that was one of the most precious moments I’ll remember as I managed to give him something I embroidered a few days before in occasion of the "May your head always bloom" era - he didn’t want to use his voice but made me understand with his eyes and gestures that he really appreciated it and was touched…so here I am still with my head in the clouds (thanks to Bea and @Mamy Ma for the videos! If someone else happened to film that moment i'd be happy to see it!) Ah, and on the way back home while I was checking if I tagged him on my stories, a "Mika mentioned you in his story" suddenly appeared in the chat... another thing I didn't expect, too many things I didn't expect 😂 Here’s some pictures 🥰 (you can find other videos on my ig account if you want) 165de80b615640bfa776869b242ee655.mov IMG_2552 2.mov
  12. I can't remember the exact order but it was something like this: Love Today Origin of Love Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) Tiny Love Relax, Take It Easy Overrated Good Guys Stardust Ice Cream Rain Yo Yo Underwater Elle me dit Happy Ending Grace Kelly We Are Golden
  13. Ok! You’re right, we can do like this. Do we still need instructions?
  14. Ah I hadn’t seen this. Do you have other suggestions? (Fyi, according to those who have written here or pm me, we should have +/- 540 balloons for now, which cover the first 10 rows)
