Droopsy

I recall a few gigs in 2007 as well At one gig I attended, he was dangling the bra above a security guard (he didn't have a clue) and then he put it on Martin or Mickey... Don't remember but it was funy

Aaaaaww, that's amazing!! Well he was just too shy to ask it of course!! I mean, he was standing there talking to the amazing Guylaine! What would you do?!

And I'm soooo glad you did!! Finally! You've waited so long!! Can't wait to read your report

Thanks for posting! Since we do have a thread already, maybe it's better to collect them all there. I've copied your post to the other thread, will close this one.

So celebrate is/was china boy?

Have a great time, everyone!!

I've been there and love this venue The "cheap" (ahum..) category is the balcony, that one's all seated. The other category is standing and seating. The venue is kind of round as well: I was in the seats downstairs, and had a fantastic view. As you can see the seats are arranged in a way so that you look over the person in front of you Anyway, you don't have a bad view in this venue unless you're standing and behind people taller than you. That's my experience

Nice one! That's very good to read

Sorry to hear that

Ehhm, check what's written on the bra? more here: http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/album/coruna/2012/08/10/apoteosis-pop-playa-riazor-mika/01101344586743210326764.htm

That is amazing! Such talented people.

Beautiful post, had to quote it! So true! The last few weeks it became so obvious (imo) that it wasn't going to last much longer before he'd really clear things up in public, "come straight" as they said in the article I'm really looking forward to the entire interview! Oh that would be interesting LOL! Shame

A video interview at suikerrock: http://jim.be/interview-mika And I totally agree about Antwerp (Anvers)

Strange to see quite a few of us feeling this way! Oh man, I was in such a pissed off mood because of it! I had been complaining so much that day and really didn't want to talk to anyone! Leaving the festival to go have some dinner in a restaurant improved my mood already though And well, LMFAO, then Mika, and everything was forgotten

Oh wow, you're so freaking right about that!! Right!! He talked about the newsnight thing! I forgot that already

A good review (even if they got some things wrong...): http://www.concertnews.be/recensietonen.php?id=1647&kop=%20Mika%20|%20Suikerrock%202012&waar=%20Grote%20Markt%20Tienen&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

You know what was a problem though, the bass! It was so loud! I couldn't hear mika's voice during a long bit of underwater!!!

I thought the same thing!! And no, he didn't playback! Both Helen and Ilse sitting next to me here were shocked when I read that tweet to them! He sung live, and very good I might add

Here are some pictures: http://www.nieuwsblad.be/article/detail.aspx?articleid=BLKVA_20120729_001&pid=1843352 And I can only say: This night was very special to me, I got all the answers I had been struggling with the last few weeks. Just got home with Ilse and Helen who are already asleep, I guess I should too... Some highlights for me: *Lola is AMAZING live. If you like the youtube versions, you will adore it in person. I can't believe the difference with actually hearing the song live yourself. MYH sounded much better, especially the end was very well received by the audience though Lola for sure was the favorite of the new songs! Everyone was singing along already. *I can't believe what a switch this has been for me. I wasn't even looking forward to this, I was a bit scared because I didn't really like the new songs, but wow, am I glad I went tonight *LMFAO were great I was in such a bad mood, had a splitting headache, and they were like the instant happiness medicine I so desperately needed. It was not a gig, it was an experience! And so glad I have had it *Mika was chatty as usual here, also making a lot of jokes. Like about the "venue". There was a church on the square, and at the end he was talking about it, and how "god would be very pissed off if he saw that huge coca cola sign blocking the entrance to the church!" while waving his finger in a no no manner "But not with us because we're all cool!" He also talked about a previous gig where there were a church and a mosk on both sides of the "venue". *At the end he said something like: "Thank you, it's so great to do a gig in Belgium again" or "it's always great to do a gig in belgium" *he spoke a lot of Dutch which of course I loved. He seriously repeated almost everything in dutch afterwards Like he was laying on the piano talking about how max's voice was the only thing we'd ever hear again when walking the street, when going to sleep, when having sex with your wife etc etc. And repeated everything in dutch And kept apologizing for how "bad" it was! Which it wasn't! *He let the audience sing the beginning of happy ending alone and said that we caught him off guard with it. *It was so great to see everyone (again), Katrien, Celien, Joyce, Angele, Jojotje, Helen, Ilse, Rian, Lena Machu, sonja and others I might have forgotten, loved seeing you all! And thank you for the waffle ! ;o) *I now seriously can't wait for the new gigs and I'm so relieved. I remember why I'm a fan in the first place: he's a born performer. Performing is what he does best. And that's why I will keep going to his gigs *the songs he played, not in order: BG, relax, lola, tool, celebrate, sitm, happy ending, elle me dit (I thought I read somewhere he wasn't going to perform it anymore? Glad he did because it was a crowd pleaser!), rain, billy brown, love today, grace kelly, make you happy, underwater... I don't know if I forgot one... The set lasted longer than planned though, I think ) edit: and let's not forget the man himself: MIKA official ‏@mikasounds Just come off stage in Belgium. Stunning venue and crowd. Thank you

Well, the weather people were right. 100% chance of rain

We will be

Thank you! I now remember why I always wanted to hear the recorded version first, then the live one I like it! If the final version is "grander", even better! Oh hahahaha! Oh this is amazing!! And what a great way, dedicating that song! *off to check the reports' thread*
