maybe the mods should update the "mfc in-jokes" FAQs with things like this, or "mikasoon".

ah yes, i remember now... iirc it was a london gig, for a tv show or something... and i guess christine is right about it being a gertrude story.

huh? when was that?

maybe spotify just imported it from your hard disk? i can't find it there either, found some other songs with the same title, one of which turned out to be quite good , but mika's song isn't on there, at least not in germany.

no surprise, in those shoes! but i love her dress!

interesting... hmm, i wonder if that was someone of the (2007) band and if that was the reason why they (for us suddenly) had to go... :rolls_eyes: t4p!

well, it just doesn't fit together, imo. - i don't mind so much the trousers as such, though its bright orange reminds me of this: ... it's not even the colour that bothers me, i think. it's more the fact that the trousers to me look like a leisure / party look, whereas the jacket looks very classical / smart. although actually the trousers seem to be of some exclusive fabric, no jeans, so they're probably not supposed to be a leisure outfit... anyway, i've seen better outfits on mika. but also worse.

ok. wearegolden, if you want one, it'd be perfect! if you want 2, for your friend as well, i'd have 4 more left... but then maybe someone else is interested?

ah come on, if you already bought the ticket, i think deep inside you already have decided. if i had the money, i'd definitely go. and absolutely agree to the first point of your post! i'm so glad it's jazzy, and not someone who for example has never been to a mika gig before and would maybe write something like "mika came on stage... he sang 12 songs... wow he can really sing that high!... he left after 2 encores..." already said it on the other thread, but congrats jazzy!

ok, so, do you want me to order the glowstick-glasses for you, or do you want to order them yourself? if i order them, they're 1,20 euro each, and i can order them in packs of 5. you can look on the web if you find a cheaper offer in your country, i saw that in the uk there's a site that offers them cheaper, but unfortunately they don't ship internationally. glowsticks aren't included, but i'm sure someone will bring glowsticks to the gig... if nobody else does, i'll bring some.

interesting colour combination! t4p!

thanks minnie! i guess mika should do his set more often in the afternoon, it's much easier to take good pictures when it's not dark.

done.

they should send it for his facebook album!

the festivals he's doing in france might help a bit as well. and i bet he'll do more promo when he's there.

i LOVE this interview, thanks for posting! it's so good to see him so happy! and i also love what he has to say about music piracy - i agree with every single point he says! there's so much discussion about it in the (german) media atm, because of ACTA, and because of a relatively new political german party who call themselves the pirats and want to reform the copyright law. and in this discussion, i've read interviews with german artists who say that people have to be forced to keep on buying music instead of stealing it, by blocking all ways how people can steal music, etc. - but mika just has a very realistic view about it, it's absolutely true what he says! i illegally downloaded his first album, before buying it, and before buying a concert ticket - and i've bought every single cd (or music download, if it didn't come out on cd) he has released ever since! and the other side is also as true, those people who think it's ok to steal music and never buy it are wrong. although i think some of them do it because they hate the music industry as such - they want to support an artist, and not the record companies (they don't understand that not buying any music is the wrong way though...). i think this was one reason why GK was so successful, because it was a song that pointed a finger at the music industry, and many people could relate to that.

no, but i could order more. hasibobberle has made the design for the shirts... i don't know if she has time to order some more, but i think we can send you the design so you can either order them from a shirt shop, or print them out on iron-on foil and put them on the shirts yourself.

some of us are planning to wear "hibbeling for love" shirts and heart-shaped glowstick glasses for this gig again, like we did at lovebox (see our pic in mika's facebook photos from lovebox). since mika was on so early in london, the glowstick glasses didn't make that much sense there, but i think in vigevano it'll be better. of course anyone who wants to can join us. (in case you're wondering: "hibbeling" is a german-english word creation by statue, hasi and rose, and means: )

same here. i only know since sunday who she is because someone told me at lovebox - never seen or noticed her before either. iirc she pointed out to mika where his fans were waiting for him... so yeah, maybe she *is* the new john!

no problem. i think that was the moment when i was wondering how i should best ask him about the damn celebrate lyrics, but couldn't remember the line before the ones i don't understand. edit: btw, any ideas for this one?

he came to meet us after his lovebox gig, yes. in fact i did even remember that i wanted to ask him about the lyrics, but i was struggling with the words... couldn't remember the line "i say only if it's better" at that moment, so i first had to think of another way of formulating my question before talking any rubbish, and when i was finished thinking, he was already gone. i'm just too slow. the interview is in the news board, a french video interview with cherie fm, the translations are there too.

he's probably fed up with us accusing him of giving his old clothes to his band, so he puts his monogram on to show the difference. or he's fed up with his band always stealing his clothes. is it?? that's great!! congrats!!

yeah, that's my feeling too.

everyone would melt when they're with mika, no? i like your explanation! (in fact it was just a dirty stage floor that he kneeled on... ) you can never be sure with mika... here's what i have on one of my photos, and i remember he hugged this guy:

thank you statue, love them! and also thank you everyone else for their photos+videos+reports - aww, all those lovely memories!
