cathouzouf Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I have a few vids, uploading them, they will be ready during the night. Just watched your video for Blame it on the weather... They sing it differently (and way better) that night, right? If it is possible, I like it even more:teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is possible, I like it even more:teehee: They did all the new songs really well in Ajaccio, I think. He did a long sound check before the show, we could listen to it, practicing the songs.

suzie Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Ida starting it gave some more security for Mika, probably. She was also more restrained, which made a huge difference - though she still sings it in a way that is characteristic of classical singing: besides her voice being resonant it is also the articulation that may sound strange to most ears (e.g. the clipped consonants). Obviously having no strings made a huge a difference () and I really like how the piano was replaced by the guitar in the second verse. It is more restrained and more enjoyable for sure. In fact, I will add this video to the front of the song page now. Edited July 16, 2011 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucrezia Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Here's my report So, I decided to go at this gig only on Monday night And, after all it was the best gig I've ever seen, as well as my first concert outside Italy I was number 1 on the list even if it didn't work because there were some organization's problem (John we miss you ) Btw, i was in the front row on Mika's side The new stage is really beautiful: very appropriate to the place where the concert was held Mika was totally on fire since the first song: he jumped, he screamed, he joked with Imma, with us, he danced on the piano (even if I was afraid he would fall off at any moment) Imma Rocked!!! And Martin too The other guys and Ida were a little bit invisible but at least the whole band did a great job!! About the new songs, i really liked them! Blame it On The Weather was really beautiful and romantic (finally it was sung really well!) Elle Me Dit and Karen were amazing like always! Ah! At the beginning he talked in Italian very funny! There was a little M&G after the gig and I had the chance to say "hi" to him I had a fantastic night! Thanks very much to Mika and his band for this and thanks a lot to the lovely MFC girls that I met there If anyone has any questions, I will be happy to answer Sincerely i don't know what to write more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melisanda Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) about BIOTW....I have mixed feelings about this song but this version from Ajaccio is my least favourite version, I'm sorry.... (before I liked a bit the sound of Ida's voice..now I don't like it at all...- it's like a screwdriver to my ear....- and I don't like that they changed the beginning...) As someone said before I also think she would be better as backing vocals only... But Mika sings it with a lot of feelings every time...

Christine Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks for your report Lucrezia. This gig was on my birthday and sounds sort of small and special. I would have loved to have been there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Some vids: Karen: Blame It On the Weather: Elle Me Dit: Rain: Kick Ass: We Are Golden: I think I have also Happy Ending, must check. There was something really different with HE in Corsica, lol, it confused me, and I'm not sure about my recording... Can these vids be linked on the first page?

suzie Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 We can clearly see in the video Mika making her hands motion to keep her voice low:wink2: really? I didn't notice that Actually, I only listened to it once while doing other things on the net. Ah! At the beginning he talked in Italian very funny! Maybe he thought that since he couldn't speak Corsican, he will try to make up for it by speaking a bit of French as well as Italian.. Thanks for all your reports. I'm happy it all went down so well for all of you (especially Juliana must be extremely pleased how great her local gig turned out to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
