  1. As a former journalist (tho not for this kind of news, just for computers ) I can tell you that they have to fill pages (or nowadays digital pages) - and when the deadline is looming and you have nothing (or not enough) to write about, you have to find something to write - and sometimes that means making things up. More or less creatively, more or less close to the truth. Sometimes I guess they just hope no one will notice. Anyway, in the case of Pennibrook Penniman, that journalist clearly was too lazy to do proper research. Or too drunk, as you say, ofc that's also possible.
  2. No problem, everyone has their own way of being a Mika fan - there's no "right" or "wrong" (as long as it stays respectful, ofc).
  3. Welcome to the world of Mika analysis, responsible for probably hundreds of thousands of posts on this forum since 2007. Imo better to question and analyze and discuss, than just scroll and swipe and consume content, like many people on social media do these days. And yeah, I guess having more of a "real life" might be the best option, but nowadays it's hard to separate the online from the offline world - and we do love living in Mika's imaginary world, with the internet being the main access to that.
  4. I hadn't seen anyone else complain... but that would certainly still be my favourite option.
  5. I've moved the posts about Mika's account to an extra thread, so we can keep on discussing without spamming this thread.
  6. When I woke up this morning, it suddenly came to my mind what Mika had written in the tour book, about resetting everything back to zero: https://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/36753-photobook-apocalypso-tour-discussions-tour-spoilers/#comments and I wonder if it's about that? As he says it's a concept... idk, in the context of his show it makes sense, he's taking the audience on a journey... but doing that on IG without any further explanation? He talks about a provocation for himself - maybe the tour isn't enough provocation for him? Or maybe I'm just looking for explanations that make more sense than a social media manager taking over and turning Mika and his fans into puppets of what they think is the most marketable way to communicate. Sure, we'd all love him to post regularly. But to feel more connected with him, knowing HE wants to stay in touch with us ... and not just for the sake of more content. Anyway, as there's still no change, it doesn't look like it's just some temporary IG bug.
  7. A video of the wing breaking: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4ohpIstFg5/?igsh=MTg1eXR3bG0xb3pyZQ== ... guess it just fell off because he was jumping so much. Should be ok again for tonight's gig, I suppose.
  8. That makes no sense - a) because social media IS for interactions and the only possible way to interact with him for most of his fans who can't go to his gigs, or just to one or two. And b) because his work IS about interaction with people. Also, most people he followed were related to his work. However, I was thinking, maybe it's the start of something new, and better? He talked last year about a new way of communicating... no huge changes so far, but as he now keeps reposting fans, maybe he wants to use IG to interact MORE directly with fans, maybe even start following his fans instead of all those business / showbiz accounts? Ok, in that case he still wouldn't have needed to unfollow everyone - at least MFC as a fan representative could have stayed 😎 but maybe he wanted a cut, to make clear there'll be a change from now on? An improvement in his communication with his fans certainly is something I'd love to see... as opposed to a social media manager taking over his account. He keeps talking about authenticity and connection with his fans, so it'd only be logical if he used his account for personal interactions with fans more, instead of less. We'll see, I guess.
  9. Ok, hm, so I'm still confused - what is he trying to say? 😅 That his wings broke because his bowtie doesn't work? And if it doesn't work and doesn't take care of his throat, did he have voice problems that evening? Or was he just saying silly random things that came to his mind, without much meaning? Anyway thanks for the translation - it's not the French language that doesn't make sense here, it's Mika. He looks tired, hope he's ok.
  10. Someone said on Twitter that it's possible for verified users to hide the list of people they follow, maybe it's that? (Tho, why would he do that?)
  11. Oh wait, just seen it's down to 0 now... yesterday he still followed a bunch of accounts, tho just half as many as before, I thought that's what you meant. So yeah, either it's a bug - or maybe he'll let his team take over his account now, instead of doing it himself? That would be a shame imo, this connection he always had with his fans by doing his social media (mostly) himself has become less and less anyway over the last 2 years or so, but at least on IG we could still be fairly sure it was him posting. I'd be very sad to see his account becoming just one of those soulless managed celebrity accounts. I hope it's just a bug.
  12. I think he has just cleared out the list of accounts he follows, without any deeper meaning.
  13. What is he saying here? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4nPNKANWWW/?igsh=ZDFrZ3F6MnBlamky I understand that it's the first time on the tour that his bowtie doesn't work. And that every night he fears his wings might break. And later I think he compares his bowtie to curly hair and says that it has feelings? Somehow I'm missing a few details, lol! 😅
  14. Fanaction with coloured phone lights for Moi Andy et Paris (IG story by filappo) 6A444B9F4F4763A8F4F329399A9DBA98_video_dashinit.mp4 Edit: And I saw in Leila's video that Mika lost one of his wings during Bougez. I hope they can fix them, would be a shame if they were broken! 😯
