  2. Amazing video!! Awwwwwww!! Thank you for coming, feel free to come back anytime, we'll love to have you here again!
  3. In Lisbon, When the promoter lady was giving us our soundcheck wristbands, we were calling for each other and saying who was going with who, etc, while she was checking the guestlist, and she suddenly stopped and asked "Wait...YOU ALL KNOW EACH OTHER???" We had to explain her that we always get together for Mika gigs, and we are basically a big amazing gang!
  4. My pics!! Soundcheck Party: Mika and Max checking out the fresh products! "Eu xutiamooooooooo..." The venue
  5. [YOUTUBE]H6HGPR1GlK8[/YOUTUBE] Another one from Drunk (soundcheck + gig)
  6. You have NO IDEA how good the reviews are. Everyone compliementing the connection between Mika and the fans, and saying that it was worth going there just to see that, despite Mika's health problems, etc etc.
  7. There were contests, around 20 of us won, and took one person with us. As there were some wristbands left, they also gave them to the people who queued up early (and some not so early, they were just lucky people...lol) .
  8. Oh, I know what I forgot to tell, our surprise this time! We got inspired by the Celebrate video, and we took tons of magazines to the gig, ripped the pages and gave everyone there one, for them to crunch and throw during Celebrate! We thought people wouldn't join us, or at least not everyone...we were SO WRONG! Everyone loved the idea, and during Celebrate there was paper flying everywhere!! So cool! We also had confetti, balloons, serpentines... What a huge party! (and a huge mess too, I feel bad for whoever had to clean up the room after the gig... )
  9. Group pic at the soundcheck party, from Universal Portugal's FB: (maybe a bit too big, sorry... )
  10. His gigs never had a bad review here, but this one has the best ever! Even sick, he was so great that he's getting more compliements for this gig that he had for the other 6 shows he played here!
  11. Yesterday I fell asleep before I could start writing the report of the gig itself... First: choir. A-MAZING. So proud of our girls (and boy). They did a wonderful job! To be honest, I hardly noticed the band yesterday. I must say, that never happens to me, I usually spend a whole lot of time looking at them, what they're doing, how they interact with Mika and with each other... but this time I was fascinated with Mika's capacity of performing on a sh*tty day, almost without voice, and also with his reaction everytime the audience cheered for him. Only a true artist does that (not that I had any doubts, but still...). The gig was cut short, Step With Me and Elle Me Dit were on the setlist but he didn't play them, but I don't really care. I can wait a bit more to hear Step With Me live... We could see he was frustrated everytime he opened his mouth and the higher notes didn't come out (Max sang some of the parts, Mika couldn't do it) but at the same time, the audience response was so incredible, that it made the whole thing feel good. I can honestly say, this was one of the best gigs he played here, his reactions were so genuine, so cute, that even the reporters who were at the soundcheck were all "awwwwwwww". The atmosphere was brilliant! I'm very proud of him, and proud of us too. I don't know what more can I say... Loved it! Very different from what we're used to, yes, but equally fantastic! I'll let the others tell something too, now!
  12. Carla, take it easy on the captions, woman! Here, the video of Drunk, in Portuguese! (not mine, found it on FB) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=539772632719550
  13. It was lovely to meet you both! Have fun in Lisbon, and safe trip back to Denmark!
  14. Oh, speaking of the seats, Mika asked the venue people to let us stay inside to keep our front seats. Cuuuuuuuute! We stayed there for about 30 seconds when the gig started, tho... Spent the whole thing standing... But yeah, it was awesome! Great to see also how they work, how they do those final little details of the show, etc. Really cool stuff!
  15. Here we go... First things first: THANK YOU TO THE BEST GANG IN THE WHOLE UNIVEEEEEEEEERSE! Each gig I think the same: these things, without a great group of people to share the moment with you, are not half the fun. So, soundcheck party first: Mika was late late late late late late, and we were almost willing to kill him but then, we finally got in, sat front row and it all started to roll. He said he had been to the doctor, he'd been taking medicines all day and that he almost cancelled the show. My heart skipped a beat. SAY WHAT??? Poor guy, he said he was incredibly embarassed to go on stage like that... his voice was so weak! But then he said he'd need our help, bla bla bla, we cheered, he giggled, we "aaaaawwwwwed", he smiled, we "aaaawwwwwed" again...you know, usual stuff. It wasn't exactly a "party", but at some point it felt like a private acoustic show. Which was obviously 10000 times better than talking to him for 2 minutes and having him sign something. Highlights of the SP: - Wonka complaining that her choir video was refused because of her husky voice. Mika told her to blame it on Max. Poor little one. - Me, trying to teach him how to say "I only love you when i'm drunk" in portuguese. Hilarious! I ended up writing it down. He saved that piece of paper and took it to the gig. It's precious, Mika, keep it. - Giving the guy fresh products. "FRESH PRODUCTS??" he said. Yeah, Mika. It's us again. He shared some with the band and choir. It was so cool, so relaxed, so intimate... Loved it!
  16. Hello lovelies! Let me just finish my tea & toasts and I'll write something. First thoughts: .
