  1. I'm remembering it all in bits, so forgive me if its not in sync.

     

    Billy Brown

     

    Mika: "Are there any critics in the house?"

     

    We all shouted yesss!

     

    Mika: "Well actually I don't care!"

     

    Ok.... We all laughed at that and my thoughts immediately went to JackViolets post about repeating soundbites etc- his introduction to BB was simply: here's Billy Brown:roftl:

     

    Big Girls

     

    Wow Ally certainly has come a long way from the shy girl we recently were talking about. She exuded confidence and flare- she is an extremely good looking woman and now very confident. IMO. She may disagree and say she always was :bleh:

  2. Hey everyone, I'm back...I didn't wait to get to see if I could meet Mika so am now at home....

     

    Half way through the opening act, Yelle, I realised that this was the 3rd time I was seeing them. Despite knowing very little French I recognised their play list so waiting for Mika to come on wasn't actually a drag. Right where to start?? Mika's performance was very good, coming from someone who has seen him at 8 times- thats the most exclamation you're going to get from me!! What I mean from that is, it is all familiar and watching him was like watching an old friend and feeling chuffed that they've risen to this level of adoration...I felt calm and enjoyed every minute of it...well not all, but more of that later!!

     

    I won't go into detail about the performance- I wanted to, this time round pay attention to what he was saying- and he did talk a fair bit.

  3. I read about DaMango's story on the Vancouver thread. She is a singer and Mika knew that when he met her without her saying anything about it. I think she had her info on her myspace page.

     

    Now my question, what competition did CazGirl win? I missed that.

     

    Thanks!:wink2:

     

    I thought Cazgirl would be on???

     

    but since no-ones answered your question:

    EDIT: Ok so it has been answered:bleh:

     

    Cazgirl won a MySpace comp in May 2007 for the SBE Gig, basically you were asked to dress up "Fantastically" or do a video in dress up dancing to one of Mika's songs. 5 winners were picked (I think???) and got free tickets to the gig. I think that there were other places that people won tickets for: Leeds, Birmingham...Such a long time ago:wink2:

  4. Hello!!:naughty:

     

    Hey, just had a thought..perhaps box office opens alittle early for ticket holders like you..Wouldnt leave too late ( you hear :P)

     

    Have a great time. Text if you can...and I expect a 'happy' face first thing tomorrow morning..hehe

     

    (sorry if this is alittle off-topic folks)

     

    Ummm not sure about that; it did say that office opens when doors do, so I'm presuming that's 7:00pm...

     

    EDIT: Just checked, office opens 2 hrs prior!

    Yeah I'll txt something...I have to figure out this camera though before I get there, but I don't want to be playing with it on th etube or anything!!

  5. EDIT: 26/02/08

    OK MFC:

     

    I have just managed to buy a ticket off ticketweb for stalls- yeah!! I had previously bought, in haste, a ticket for the circle- and only realised it when it was too late...:thumbdown:

     

    Anyway if there is anyone on here who wants to go and doesn't mind being up in the circle, the tickets is yours for free!!

    The only thing is I have to pick up my other ticket at the box office, and doors open at 7:00, so I probably won't get there until 6ish. PM me if you're interested.

    The Independent recommends a musical gift for the 50 something mother...

     

    "50-something mother

     

    Where mum rock meets granny rock, the fiftysomething demographic bestrides a vast array of styles. Crossover stars such as the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli may be panned by classical critics but he sells by the lorryload – 60 million albums to date. The blind singer's Mother's Day offering is the new album Live in Tuscany.

    Michael Jackson's status as one of the giants of pop music has been fatally undermined by his car crash of a private life, but his record company was banking there was still sufficient appetite for a 25th anniversary release of his epic long player Thriller – and their hopes were rewarded when it clinched the number three position on the UK album charts this week.

     

    The Lebanese-born singer songwriter Mika's first album, Life In Cartoon Motion, spawned six singles. A professed vocal range of five octaves has elevated him to a staple of the daytime radio playlists, helping him to build a loyal inter-generational army of fans."

  9. I know I am biased but I think Mika's performance was the Hit of the night!

    I think the exposure & nominations & the one win will attract a lot more fans.

    Mika suffering bronchitis while performing as well as he did truly says a lot about the man!

    The theatre set was Dazzling & to me So was Mika!!

    Mika's acceptance speech was Gracious, humble and all inclusive as the man is himself.

     

    Mika Rocks!

     

    Kudos Mika!!

     

    Hey there and welcome!

     

    I'm afraid I have to disagree with you there- the opening wasn't as spectacular as we KNOW it could have been and was because he was suffering with bronchitis.

    I loved the scenery and backdrop though…I think he’s great but this wasn’t his best- Sorry!!

     

    There were obvious Mishaps: being off-key, shortening notes sometimes not even hitting them and losing his breath etc.

    The duet with Beth Ditto was a mistake.

    I do think he should have had the band members on stage with him; he would have looked less awkward on stage and he could have interacted with them instead of the (BRIT School) audience.

     

     

    From every interview that I have read & watched I am certain ( IMO ) that Mika does not really care about awards. He has certainly stated many times that he does not do what he does for that kind of attention & reward.

    So I was surprised that so many of the diehard fans here were saying how they thought Mika was upset & disappointed at not winning in the other three categories. Could you be projecting our own disappointment on him?

    I was disappointed too. But I still don't think he was or that he showed any kind of disappointment.

     

     

    You may have a point there; we know Mika is in the business because he wants to write songs and perform. But losing out on an award (awarded by the music industry), when you know you pretty much deserved it- is a disappointment if nothing else. Obviously we won't know the extent of that disappoinment, and are perhaps projecting our own onto the situation- I know I am! Having said that, the look on Mika's face, when Mark Ronson was announced as the winner of Best Male is unmistakenly- gutted. IMO.

     

    Of course he wants attention and to be recognised! He wouldn't be touring like there's no tomorrow and risking his health to do it, if all he wanted to do was write and sing songs. If Mika didn't really care about the awards he wouldn't turn up to accept them.

  10. He really should just talk through the second album, or maybe rap a bit (LOL, God forbid!).

     

    God Forbid- I can just about stomach the Dance remixes!!

     

     

    btw (sorry, off topic but only this once I promise) Akim, I tried to myspace you regarding your sore throat but myspace is playing silly beggars. Hope you are okay though! I know it's just all that screaming at Mika on Wednesday :naughty:

     

    That's ok; Thanks:wink2: - I suppose it shows that I'm a "Real Fan" :bleh:

  11. Well apparently Falsetto=Freddie Mercury and therefore = Mika:mf_rosetinted:

     

    Ummm...I thought that Amy Winehouse did have the best live act on stage that night (definitely NOT with Mark Ronson) but on her own- yes she twitches a lot (she can't dance; you can't have everything) but you can't beat that voice, "Love is a losing game" was heart breaking to listen to- I think the authors description was very accurate.

     

    (The artists who did were many things — thrilling, confusing, off-key — but never boring- I must admit I was thinking of Mika at this point :wink2: )

  12. I know what you mean Gata;

     

    I felt incredibly protective over him when I watched the Brits opening,(there were times when I hid behind the cushion I was holding cringing and praying no-one noticed the "little" hiccups:roftl: ) but I felt proud too. We know how well he performs anyway; I suppose I wanted it to be perfect, because critics will always be critics and not too forgiving....

     

    To answer the original question: I'm not aware of whether I panick/worry about his performances- that much anyway :wink2:

     

    :partytime2:Aww Happy 6th Birthday to the little one...(not little any more eh?)

  13. It's lyrics from 'Creep' by Radiohead (who else), kind of referring here to Mika's beauty and perfect complexion :naughty::blush-anim-cl:

     

     

     

    I like it (don't let onto Miss F though :naughty: )- I thought it referred to your first meeting with Mika (you did meet him in Manchester, didn't you??)
