Strudel

Sorry to bring back the thread again, but i havent been able to come on the site so far.

Anyway, as to people who said that i said he was doing badly, i dunno where you got that from !

When an artist has to re release it usually means nothing else on their album is single quality. Take 'The Holloways' for example, not many people are aware they've had three singles before Generator, which in itself is actually a re release because they weren't shifiting any records.

Mika has a lot of tracks which would do well on airplay, which is what is required for singles to be successfull.

Relax wouldn't do well in the current scene of music on radio at the moment and there's far more tracks on the album which would do better.

The european music scene is VERY different to the UK's, and you cant compare them that easily.

Oh, and hi dcdeb, yeah it has been a while. Been busy with lots of things so that's why. Still wearing that badge as being the 10th memeber to join MFC though :

I really don't understand why he is ignoring Relax Take It Easy here in the UK; it is set to be a huge single here aswell as in europe!

Cause that would then be a re-release which generally means that an artist isnt doing well.

Personally i think he's made some amazing choices. It's exactly what i'd choose if i were releasing singles.

BG/GK/LT are all very funky upbeat tracks that do well on airplay. Happy Ending is a lot slower and will show his other side, but still works better than say My Interpretation because it has that power within it which makes it feel very epic.

Hi again btw, haven't been on here in a good while

Standing In The Way Of Control

What a great night, Excellent pics guys. I did get a few videos but im kinda embarressed to show then as they're mainly of the side of the stage (me not paying attention to the camera ya see).

So that was some of MFC i saw in the crowd then while i was on the Balcony, you guys were in the centre about 4 rows back, or at least FD was

An amazing night, Support was excellent (Paladium) and MIKA, well what can i say !!!!!!!!!

Mika came on stage just gone 9pm with the usual 9-5 intro and then went into Relax etc,

Covers were amazing 'I Want You Back' and 'Sweet Dreams' everone seemed to react to them really well. Personal highlights for me include 'Happy Ending' which in a word was amazing, I asked Mikey back in February and he said they were working on a version and should be ready for May, he certainly kept his promise

Another highlight for me was Love Today which was amazing with the drumming etc and then with the whole crowds "ooooh a-oooooooh" which was GENIUS, Mika seemed to really appreciate that. He also said we were the biggest crowd he had played to yet which was great.

We were on the right of the balcony nearer to the back, very good view since we bought some drinks from the bar next door and got priority entry

I'm pretty sure from my view there though that i saw some MFC members, particually FreddiesDouble. Who was near the centre about 4 rows back and at one stage was handing water to eveyone, i realise i could have got completely the wrong person, but he looked very much like freddies pic on here

So all in all a BRILLIANT night, topped the Barfly back in February by loads

Sound excellent really looking forward to Thursday now

What times did the support and Mika start and finish, also how long did you have to wait at the stage door for him

What sort of timings were we looking at guys and gals?

Mika - Love Today has charted at 18 on Downloads alone

Ooooooh whats the balcony like?

It's great fun to drive across it, ya think woah this person must have been mad to design this !!!!!!!

Just to say Paula, we're all travelling down from Wellington and then back in the evening to Telford Central/Wellington. So you're more than welcome to join us on the train, there will be three of us
