It will surely be on Youtube by latest tomorrow.. I 'll post the link as soon as I find one:wink2:

You are right and I believe we all agree with you but how long do you need to be in the music business / tour management to know that you don't book an artist on every single day, especially one day in one continent and next day in another.... Not even if the performance itself is playback. All artists need to have enough time to rest in between gigs, especially if they are like an atomic bomb like MIKA. It is not really about him but about THEM. :boxed:

....and, at the same time, let me congratulate you! I can see you are a newbie and you started on the best possible thread:biggrin2:

Actually, I was late in warning you. Here is the news from BBC online: 1.30pm - The drumming starts Things kick off with a massed diaplay of drumming led by Queen's Roger Taylor. I banish all thoughts of drummer jokes, as do the crowd who are clearly loving every minute. It's a good start. So... obviously it all started with We Will Rock You. :punk: My only excuse for not paying enough attention to this concert is that I just don't get what the purpose is .... I mean.. OK, icebergs melting due to global warming, seroius conserquences... blah blah. BUT ANYONE WITH A CONCRETE AGENDA OF ACTIONS THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR???? I don't think so.

Roger Taylor is to help open the Live Earth concert at Wembley Stadium this weekend. Roger will be joined by Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) as part of a spectacular drumming extravaganza that will kick off the show. :punk: just in case anyone was interested....

It's almost the same... I think if THEM cannot make the right decisions Mika should fire THEM. These controversies only reflect bad on him.

He doesn't seem to be a guy who lets himself be puppeteered

Hey THEM! Beware of the Vikings!!

Well, I'm not bitter about either, I just wanted to make a point. But in case anyone is interested, Sziget is a 7 day festival and half of the people buying weekly tickets are foreigners (Dutch, German and French mainly).... The most expected bands for this year are Tool (USA) and The Killers...

So, do you think Mika has a UK-centric vision in his head? You see, he shouldn't have left that Geography class!!! :roftl:

Well, maybe the map of Europe in her head then...

Finally someone realising the UK centered nature of the word 'outlying countries' ... :sneaky2:

It's not only the piano part, it's the way he chorus starts as well... I don't mind it though.. It's my favourite song from Mika. However, I do mind the obvious similarity between Instant Martyr and Killer Queen on his demo tape. I hope he re-writes/ re-arranges it a bit before releasing it on the Big Girl single...

It HAS happened to me as well, once: I didn't book my holiday to England that was supposed to start from next weekend, for fear Mika cancels the Somerset House gig - to which I have been offered tickets.... Sad but true ... DO YOU THINK I HAVE OCD, too???

That was actually not a joke just a warning - it is true, apparently.....

But if you happen to see stars when you close your eyes, that might be a sign of heart failure. Suzie, MD

Flash Gordon was a Soundtrack so it might have worked with the film.... I can't tell because I have never seen it. Have you?

YOU DEFINITELY HAVE OCD, despite the fact that you are aware of your compulsions. If you thought your compulsions were 'normal' you would have OCPD... Sorry to break the sad news... Suzie, the psychologist:wink2:

Well, I didn't realise it was that many performances he cancelled, although in percentage, he is still doing OK - i.e. cancelling 4 out 4000 is acceptable. However, I feel he is pushing himself to his own limits and he should clearly slow down...

Now that's what I call a great review. This guy is not only a skilled music critic but also understands all parts of the business. :thumb_yello: At the same time the way he incorporates Mika's life and rise to fame into the review makes me think that this article should be made compulsory reading for all Mika fans...

I meant the website, of course, not the Youtube account..... Any info on that?

Yes, I am going to Cyprus tomorrow and to Germany the week after but he won't be giving shows over there....

Yes, it does... Actually, I was thinking about waiting till he performs in or near a city where I happen to stay at that particular time on business but there is no serious chance of that to happen.... I can't believe until early February I had to travel to London nearly every other week for 4 months and now that he is doing gigs over there, there is nothing coming up...
