  1. Past hour
  2. Lol πŸ˜† sorry I agree with what u said about love in the community and society but haha please don't always think MIKA is kind of 100% very perfect singer or man as no one is perfect so I believe he also has his own disadvantages (dark side) even he is a celebrity but just would not show in public haha πŸ˜‚ Anyway, there's what I'm doing now.Trying to join the MFC forum more or any activities as much as I can even am not really a superfans or very active fans, I mean I would like to more active but really don't know anyone else from MFC while they are usually know each other for some times already. Apart from joining the MFC, for my spare time I would be the volunteer for my religion SGI(Soka Gakkai International), usually be a Lilac (Young woman receptionist) helping the meetings in SGI Taplow Court, UK or in member's home when having meetings or even be a volunteer for some charity associations to help the people with special needs for example I'm a SLE ( Lumpus) patient, I have opened a group to let other patients for chat together to support each other or exchange some useful information etc. 😁 I guess this is we so called the MIKA spirit? It's not limited to only in supporting MIKA but spread the loves❀️ and music to everyone on the world πŸ™πŸ€
  3. I'm neither a new fan, neither one of the people who have seen Mika the most, and honestly, there is ALWAYS drama, always complaints when people aren't in something. I understand the feeling when you're passed by other people, I'v been here, we all were at a moment or another. It's pretty common, and it happened to me this week, for example. I missed the 2013's M&G, but that's no the end of the world, it made me learn about my "error" and now, I'm RSVP for each concert in case there's something. Actually, the only time I could live a privileged moment with Mika because something was organised, I wasn't even in the MFC ! It depends on the "rule" for entering the event, but in any case, the people who aren't in are sad. it's understandable, but we must learn to rely also on luck, and accept the fact sometime, we don't have the good information. From my POV, I know MFC makes all it can to offers great moments to fans.
  4. Should I share it here or is there a forum specifically for Mika song covers?
  5. Then Iβ€˜ll definitely want a photo proof! Iβ€˜d even appreciate a heads-up in case he reacts via Instagram or whatever, as I still successfully manage to keep away from these platforms
  6. I'm sure that if we posted about it in an Insta story, people on Tiktok and X would complain. Or those who happen to be offline for those 24 hours, or are not interested in checking the MFC stories all the time. If there is a numbers system for the queue, those who don't like it will complain. We had that often enough as well, queueing numbers being defined as oppression by the fan club, tho it's usual practice at many gigs. We didn't invent that. In short, it's simply not possible to please everyone. Then, maybe you noticed (or not?) that the one you are mainly attacking here, @dcdeb, had nothing of this early entry, as she lives thousands of miles away from Europe. Except a lot of work to get it organized, a few thank you's and some people personally attacking her for trying to help other fans. I'm always very surprised to read from people who are registered here "I'm not an MFCer". That's the point, all you need to do to be part of this fan community is register, and you ARE an MFCer, just like any of us, with all the same rights. The right to not give a sh*t, or the right to inform yourself and take part in the things we offer here, for free. If you attend 2 Mika gigs per year and want to make sure you don't miss anything, all you need to do is RSVP and check the forum a bit more regularly in the few weeks / days before the gigs you're attending. MFC is not the secret club you might think it is, it's not just fans Mika's age and older, it's simply all the fans who want to have a feeling of community and enjoy the benefits that come with being part of a community. And the benefits that come with being a member of the artist's official fanclub. Stop seeing it as "us vs them", that's not what it is. If you want to help make the forum a bit more accessible for younger fans, you're very welcome to make suggestions, to explain it to others, to create lists of links to relevant content, to help subtitle videos, so international fans can understand Mika's interviews. It's easy to join this community, and then it's up to you how much or how little you get involved, how much you put into it and how much you pull out of it. This place here is not just a discussion forum, it's the biggest archive you'll find about Mika. And imo much easier to search than Youtube or other social media channels, where the algorithms keep changing and being adjusted to the way you use the platform. Here we have no tracking cookies that follow your every move online, we don't have ads, we don't want to sell you anything, or collect your data to make money from it. We're simply here because we want to support Mika and bring his fans together, instead of this "us vs them" attitude that unfortunately I often see on social media (and that gets pushed by social media, because drama and hate get more clicks than community and love). We're not investing millions of $ (or even just one cent) to find out the best ways of how to keep people on our platform, how to influence people with psychologic tricks to increase engagement. And yes, that's why it's harder to use than a social media platform. It doesn't play tricks to your brain. So, just a few reasons why this forum and this community is very much appreciated by many fans as well as by Mika himself. This forum was here before social media existed in its current form, we use social media as a tool to inform people about the existence of this website, and to promote Mika, and if social media ever dies or gets replaced by the next big thing, the MFC forum will still be here. A bit of consistency is good in these fast moving times.
  7. Today
  8. He can invite us to eat the cake 😁 Iβ€˜m really curious about how it tastes like 😁
  9. You say that forums "aren't a thing anymore" and yet there are still hundreds of online forums -- you just have to look at the company that hosts this site. That's their business -- discussion forums. To be precise, YOU don't want to use the forum. For whatever reason, I don't know. I -- at my advanced, decrepit old age -- have learned TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and am learning AI, in an effort to stay current and reach the fans who might not immediately find the MFC's website. But the website IS "still a thing", no matter how much you rant against it, and it is the "home base" of the fan club. I'm on social media steering fans here, because this is where everything major happens. Clearly, I don't -- I can't -- force anyone to register if they don't want to. But if you want to join in with what's happening with the MFC, you have to register an account so I know who you are. I can't possibly coordinate some of the things that I have to without knowing who I'm dealing with. It's such a simple thing, I don't understand why you resist it. In any case, you said above, "now what's left is to share all the infos there in order to include every fans." But you're missing the point. The fan club doesn't have to share the info with EVERY fan. Just fan club members, who in theory should be checking the website. When things come up, like this early entry that we're debating here, there is limited space. I absolutely can NOT include EVERY fan in that case. So let's say I put something on social media, we have a random draw. Then you will all complain about how the names were chosen. No matter how we choose. You don't trust me or the other moderators to choose. You don't like the results when someone else chooses, you think it was fixed. When there is time to coordinate things, I do share on social media. But sometimes things happen at the very last minute, or have such a limited space, that social media isn't practical. And as I have said before, I get that this platform may seem unfamiliar to many, and we have been working on coming up with tutorials or "how to" videos that we will post everywhere. But as I have also said elsewhere, we are all volunteers, not doing this full-time. Besides traveling to see Mika, we have families, jobs, other responsibilities, and so the wheels of progress here move slowly. But we are trying and you should see some progress in this area very soon.
  10. The concert at the Accor Arena was the best I was lucky enough to be able to participate in this tour. Mika and his band were amazing and the audience was incredible. There was a perfect chemistry. An indescribable energy! Some girls had prepared the rainbow FA and by distributing colored pieces of paper in different sectors, they created a rainbow effect that Mika appreciated very much. This concert, like all Mika’s concerts in Bercy, will always remain one of my favorites. I take this opportunity to thank the MFC for letting us in a few minutes earlier to avoid what had happened in Lyon. Thanks again for everything. Some photos and videos of the show: 20240325_224921 (2).mp4 20240325_221354.mp4 20240325_215556.mp4 20240325_220238 (2).mp4 20240325_211608.mp4 20240325_210943.mp4 20240325_211909.mp4 20240325_212916.mp4 20240325_215238.mp4 20240325_213332.mp4 20240325_204516.mp4 20240325_211723.mp4
  11. Wow there are seems some fights between the MFC with some fans lol πŸ˜‚ I'm not from MFC and part of it but can feel for most of the time, @dcdeb has tried her best to comfort all MIKA's fans as she could I believe but just sometimes there may a bit exceptional due to the lack of communication lol πŸ˜‰ between fans, the venue organiser or even with the MIKA's team management etc. I understand your anger but if I were those fans who felt unfair or unhappy whenever I went to MIKA's gigs, I would just not to join like this time for so many reasons I would not go! It's not worth to make myself or yourself unhappy and angry etc. Maybe I'm being more optimistic cause seriously for so many years I joined MIKA's gig, I NEVER really SEEN him SO CLOSELY lol πŸ˜† Those in a way I kind of get used to that and more like the spiritual support haha 🀣 Anyway I as a not very active MIKA fans, wish u all be happy all the times! 🫢
  12. Sorry, I'm confused, are we talking about fans who are not members of the MFC? The offer from Mika's team was specifically for MFC members, that's why they went through Deb. Personally I'm very happy with the forum. I despise social media, which is rife with problems, and avoid it wherever possible. I just don't trust it to be an accurate, reliable source of information. The number of times Instagram has messed up with late or missed notifications is ridiculous. But they get away with it. I understand the forum isn't immediately user friendly, but at least here we know the info has usually been checked and is reliable, and accessible immediately once posted. But honestly, SM isn't immediately user friendly either. There is a learning curve whichever platform is used. The key is the willingness to engage. If we can find a way to share the info on sm so the wider membership can see it, I'm sure that would be a great help. But, does SM offer restricted/private areas to communicate to members like this? The forum does enable us to have an area just for members.
  13. I will be in the seats! But it's for everybody. The venue is not so big as those in France.
  14. I don't think we can hand over the cake to Mika in person. We'll give it to someone of his team or of the venue, so it'll wait for him in his dressing room. If we're lucky, he'll post about it, or thank us in some way... but he doesn't always do that.
  15. If thereβ€˜s any chance of some photos or a video from the cake handover, Iβ€˜d really love to see Mikaβ€˜s reaction to it I wish all of you who will be in Berlin a fantastic time!
  16. Just my perspective: I have always been used to forums since I actually was using them in 2005/2010 when it was the social media of the time, but I can understand that for many fans, most of them teens or young adults now, it's not the same, so I get why many of them just don't visit this one and just rely on IG/Twitter/TikTok. I remember that during the years I have linked threads to fans who I went to gigs with to always click on rsvp list because if something happen, that's usually (always?) the way people get in (even if actually during all these years I've never been to an event where I got any benefit, like once I missed by one date going to the date before ) and I saw how many of them just don't visit the forum themselves and would have just not known otherwise (For context story: I learnt myself about having to click on the rsvp list reading on Twitter about a drama happened in August 2013 in Colmar where there was a M&G and also then, some fans were unhappy because they didn't know about the list or the forum at all) So, I get what they say when they feel this way, on the other hand, maybe how these (rare) initiative work could be shared more on "regular" social media so it will be easy for new fans to be aware of how it works Also because, and here I don't want to start a worse drama myself, because it's a *very nuanced* concept, that goes beyond the "MFC" thing but it is specific to people, the impression that we often hear from several fans, is that there is a part of the community that tries to gatekeep as much as possible. Again, it is not strictly related to MFC, sometimes we have seen drama happening in situations where it had nothing to do, I actually came to the conclusion that it's common to any fandom where there are actually occasions to get close to the artists (while I see quite difficult in something like Taylor Swift community, I know there are m&g's but it's compared to win the national lottery) But I mean, on this topic, the only thing that I could suggest is that communication is key (I mean if it an MFC event, if not, the discussion could have the same root, but does not belong here) , to avoid rumors to spread and make stuff and people look worse than what it actually is
  17. Box is now underway! I may change the joint from a Dovetail because my dovetail saw is facing some issues at the mo and is in need of a some repairs. The box will still look pretty much the same thoughπŸ˜‰. I'll share some photos by next Friday. Also, I'd love to be involved in this (if it works from being in the seats)!
  18. 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.
  19. So, as for the balloon fanaction for Happy Ending in Berlin - I now have: 40 white LED balloons 100 earth balloons 180 red and white heart balloons. Are any of you bringing more? The heart balloons are available at TEDI in packs of 20. Are any of you in the seated places and could take care of the "distribution" in that area? (I think it's enough to put the balloons in a zip bag, write on the bag to take one and what song it is for, and hand that around)
  20. It's a reference to yesterday's Insta live when a new viewer joined in screaming out in comments that the forum should be shut down. Hello!
  21. Could that journalist be the same or the brother of the one who thought the piano wing was a foot and saw Peter Pan and Alice in wonderland during Apocalypse Calypso show? I love Lonely Alcoholic but I doubt Mika would sing it on stage... although he is now singing songs like Any other world, Talk about you and Billy Brown so maybe he will go on changing the setlist a bit
  22. Simply because that's how going to a show is supposed to work for commun of mortals?? I personally do know how a forum work but come on it's not a thing anymore you need to adapt in order to include others fans!!... Because yes now we are mostly on social medias and forums as good as they used to be aren't a thing anymore. "some random unhappy fan" how petty of you to call non-MFCers like that... And okay Mika pays for the domain, but how does it give you the right to do everything you want?? Really I don't get this kind of explanation it's just to easy to blame it on all on the big boss instead of being yourself responsible. Peace with the MFC? Yes I'm in, but you should know that it has to work in both ways, don't force people to register on it if they're not at ease with forums, go where they are, you already are, now what's left is to share all the infos there in order to include every fans.
  23. I think Jane Birkin could work wonderfully in English, if you do finish a recording please share it somewhere on the forum! 😊 I fall in love with this song a little bit more every time I hear it
  24. I thought this writer is NOT a MIKA fan, never listen Lonely Alkoholic.
