Wow.... Just... wow!!! What an amazing three days we've just had!!! I still can't believe it's over now...

sorry no report yet from me, didn't have time, too busy here at work!

I really wanted to post a report but I was soooooooooooooo exhausted since the night between tuesday and wednesday I barely slept at all, had to go to work, and I had to get up early this morning to get my girls to daycare and go to work.... So yeah I collapsed in my bed and I'm kinda glad I did because even though it made for a short night, I slept so much better and I feel great today, so much better than yesterday!!!! All I can say for now is that the gig was AMAZING, OUT OF THIS WORLD, even better than tuesday (which I didn't think was possible!!). I'm going to try and write something during lunch today, but now it's back to work for me! I can't wait for tonight, I so not regret buying tickets for all three concerts!!!

wish I had time to write a detailed report but must go to bed if I am to survive waking up with my two girls tomorrow, preparing them for daycare, going to work, going to the get together, another concert, who knows, maybe wait for him after (which I didn't do tonight because life and work and all), going to bed late and then morning routine with the girls again, work again and then a third concert and maybe wait after and going to bed late again and then another day at work and all!! so there..... bedtime now!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for organising this get together!!! I'm so super ecited!! And that menu sounds very yummy!!! Oh I know where that is!!! My mom's office used to be in that building! We can gp through the Complexe Desjardins if it's too cold outside I'm bringing a friend on Tuesday night, it's gonna be her first Mika concert!! Claudine had an extra ticket and she's said to me recently when she saw Mika on TV at Star Académie and everything, that she regretted never having seen him in concert. And she loooooves the OSM and always wanted to see them live. So yeah I'm super excited to introduce her to the wonderful world of Mika gigs!! Anyways we plan on going for supper before the concert so if some of you are getting together let me know

Hehe me too... I totally meant you of course Guylaine! They will wonder what hit them after we leave LOL!! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! This shall be an amazing get together me says

Of course I'll be there!!!!! Wouldn't miss this!!! There was no "whatever date works for me" button so I chose Tuesday, but after reading the thread, I agree that Wednesday might be better. Let me know if I can be of any help!!

Wish I could... but I can't! As always, when Mika comes to Montréal during the summer, I'm away on vacation! This time I'll be in Québec City...

My inner fangirl spoke louder than the mother in me... Now to announce the good news to my boyfriend... lol !!

Good luck everyone, hope we all get good tix

LOL soooooo glamourous...

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted a report on MFC!! Won't go overboard like I did back in the days with the suuuuuper long reports lol! So, got there at around 1pm, and got in the queue with Roxy and her mom (who is super nice and super cool btw). The venue was on the shady side of the street and even though I was well dressed with multiple layers, it was rather cold, especially witht the wind. Roxy and her mom were very good to my pregnant self, lending me a chair and a blanket. Thank God for the Starbucks next door though lol! That giant tea I had was sooooo good at that moment lol! The sun did come our way at some point and it was more confortable but when he hid again towards the end of the day it was starting to be very cold and we all had enough of it by then lol! At around 7h10om they opened the door and all let us in by small groups, which was nice because no trampling! We ended up first row almost center, a little right to the center. The bottom of the stage was hollow so we could put all our coats and bags there (coat check was optional). We were very happy about our spot, it made all the wait worth it! And most of all, we were so happy to be inside so we could finally warm up lol! The dj set was great, I loved it. Rox and I delivered a great performance I think, singing along and dancing lol! Her mom was like "I'm stuck between to crazy girls" hehe. It was very different and original, and personnaly I thought it fit Mika very well. It did succeed in warming me up that's for sure! Then we didn't have to wait too long for Mika. Like Guylaine said, he had the crowd eating from the palm of his hand right at the beginning! No doubt, Montréal is crazy about Mika!! As proud as we were of the spot we landed, when he sat down at the piano we realised he was indeed looking our way, but we could only see the top part of his head! Oops! We could see his eyes, forehead and hair lol. But we were first row, we couldn't complain! And seeing the top part of his head is still better than seeing the back of it. And when he sang songs not at the piano, we were so close and he is so tall that it was hurting our necks to look at him lol!! It was SUCH a good gig!!!! Loved every second of it. He seemed top shape, happy to be there and his voice was out of this world. All the songs I wanted to hear from the last album, he sang them, so that of course made me very happy . Except maybe Make Me Happy, I love that song but I wasn't expecting it because I know it's not a favorite. I thought the set list was great, maybe a few more songs from the second album would have been good too . Loved the fact that he sang a new song in French for the first time here. I absolutely loved his interpretation of it, it showcased how beautiful his voice is, although I'm not crazy about the song itself. I absolutely loved the accoustic and intimate feel of the gig, and I really liked the simple but beautiful set. And I thought his musicians were great. They were only three on stage but still it was such an energetic performance! I had to try hard to refrain from jumping up and down and try not to dance too much with my little belly hehe. Didn't want to make Roxy work overtime LOL! I have to say though I was very happy about the crowd being very into it but no pushing around, that's what I was a little afraid of being pregnant and front row. I was confident I would be able to stand the whole gig and sing and sorta dance a little, I'm not that big yet, but I was afraid of being swuished and pushed around. But the crowd was well behaved, I was not squished at all . Like he always does, he was scanning the crowd in front for familiar faces. I could tell he recognised me and was impressed because I hadn't seen him in more than 3 years (besides Star Académie). Last time he toured here at la Place des Arts I was 9 weeks pregnant with my daughter and she's gonna be 3 in a month! That was a long time ago! Such a good memory he has... except for his own lyrics LOL!!! Like Guylaine mentioned, when he sang rain he completly forgot the lyrics to the second verse !! Total blank! He came to me and asked me for the lyrics, thinking I would know them, which I usually do... except I couldn't remember either lol! He then frantically turned to Roxy, who was on my right, who couldn't remember either lol! Then he turned to the girl on my left and she couldn't remember either! We were all like ajpffirpwgbj vewnk j lbrwobnrwpabnp !!! Lol!! He was looking at us like "come on girls!!! help me out here!!". He was like : "the second verse, come on, what is it!!". Poor him, we weren't a great help lol! So then he turned to the crowd and was like "I can't remember my song! I asked 3 people but they didn't help me". But it seems no one was able to shout him the lyrics so someone handed him her iPhone with the lyrics on it. He looked at it like "oh yeah NOW I remember and started the song over again at the first verse. When he got to the second verse and started singing it of course now I remembered it perfetly so I sang along. He looked at me and made a face and gesture like : oh so now you remember, great timing... not! lol!!! I made a gesture like "sorry!!". Again what a great gig it was, one of my favorites for sure!!! I would say it's my best one after le Poisson Rouge in 2009 . He sang Over My Shoulder at the end of the gig, which I liked because I hadn't heard it live in a while. His voice was MAGNIFICIENT while he sang it. Absolutely beautiful. What a talented singer he is!! After the gig we went to the back of the venue to wait for him. Thankfully we didn't have to wait too long but there was a lot of us there. More than a hundred I think. They made us all line up (more queuing) so he could go up the line and sign some autographs. Since there was a lot of us he did it quite quickly, exchanging only a word or 2 with everyone and signing a few autographs. Not everyone got one unfortunatly since he was in such a hurry. He received a few gifts from fans. When he got to us Catherine got the piece of fabric signed and Roxy got her ticket signed. I handed him my album and while he signed I said (in French): - so sorry for the lyrics!! I didn't help you at all! - geez... I was counting on you! - I know!! sorry... had a blank too! - you see it's not that easy when you're in the moment... - very true! weird because I do know the song! - *smiling* I know you know it very well He is such a nice person, always a pleasure getting to meet him, even if it's very brief . So then I got back home, Roxy's mom was so very nice and offered me a ride home instead of me taking a cab, which I was very thankful for. And I managed to forget my cell phone and my camera in her car! Good job! not... I blame it all on prego brain lol! I will try and post some of the few pics I took when I get my camera back, I didn't take a lot, my camera was not doing e very good job and I wanted to enjoy the whole thing to the max! So that was my report... mmmh I said I was gonna keep it short... failed!! lol!!

Fantastic gig!!! LOVED it!!!

Tonight is the night !!!
