  1. in fact, that's a good point... people usually film in portrait format these days, so that's not ideal for uploading on youtube. But I wonder if everyone is aware that it's possible to upload videos here on MFC directly, no matter if landscape or portrait format? For huge files filmed with a camera, I suppose youtube makes more sense, but for mobile videos it's perfect here, if for some reason you don't want to upload them on IG (otherwise you can just post the link).
  2. I just checked the shipping options ... indeed for Schwetzingen there seem to be only paper tickets. For Bonn you can get an e-ticket, apparently. It didn't offer me any choice when I bought my tickets on Friday, so I'll have paper tickets for both.
  3. Thanks. Maybe they mixed it up with Luxemburg, that one is sold out now but the link on yomika is still active. @dcdeb can you please let Mika's team know about this?
  4. Hmm, in fact, it's a bit different from the other 2. If it's correct, he didn't play Popular Song, and he played Sweetie Banana later (it was the 4th song at the other gigs)... in fact, in the place where he played PS before. And he added OOL before WAG. WAG was on the setlist before. I like how this is developing, definitely a good choice to swap Popular Song for Origin! Maybe for the international gigs he'll bring it back and throw out one of the French songs instead (I could do without Sweetie Banana... but I don't mind hearing it at the French gigs, always nice to hear new songs live, and I heard PS often enough). Hm, interesting. Thank you! I think this is the reason why I had been wondering at first whether Mika means rather himself than Andy by the "monster" - but he said the monster is Andy. Now here he says that bluntly saying how you feel and arguing are normal for him. Yet in the song it seems to be him who is hurt by Andy's "mots dur". It didn't surprise me, because we know he is a sensitive person... and well, I guess he's more sensitive to other people's harsh words than sensitive about his own harsh words ... anyway, it seems the reason why he told this story is to explain why he sings about this. Why he even has it on the setlist now. It's his way to express himself. Makes me curious now to hear what else he'll say during this song at the gigs. Sigh, I wish I understood French better! In the interviews it's ok meanwhile, as long as they're not talking over each other - but add the background noise of a venue and the music to what he says in French, and I'm lost. So thank you Jana, those translations are much appreciated! What other signs by peole did he read? I think the first one was "can I come on stage with you?" and he said maybe later (well, he just had brought a fan on stage a few minutes earlier), but I didn't understand the others.
  5. Also some songs posted by clipmika https://www.instagram.com/clipmika?igsh=MXFqbmk4a2c5am56NA==
  6. @ISAJF414 is posting some lives on her IG: https://www.instagram.com/devos_isa?igsh=NjdwdHdiM3lycTY0 The ones she has in her feed are Jane Birkin / Moi Andy et Paris https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4EFzITtqr0/?igsh=MTNzajlwY2d3aXN5ZA== Big Girl: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4EGnq3N_Hj/?igsh=MWd6Z2lrMmF4eDFhaQ== Sweetie Banana: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4EHH7OtBa5/?igsh=MXhtYjNhdmwwaDF0cQ== Fan on stage for EMD, 30 Secondes https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4EI7XcNM09/?igsh=MXNjcjhvYWV0Zm51cA== Can anyone please transcribe / translate what he says during Moi Andy et Paris (about his family) and at the end of EMD (about the posters)?
  7. I think it's also about camera vs mobile. People used to take (small) cameras to the gigs and film with them. Some fans filmed whole gigs that way. But now you have your mobile, it feels different to film with that. Even in the earlier days I always focused on new songs / show elements, and the ones I wouldn't dance to and where Mika only sat at the piano, like OMS or Toy Boy - but even back then I didn't film whole songs very often... but when you uploaded them, you did so on youtube, and there people expected whole songs - while, as you say, nowadays the small clips are the standard. So it's a variety of reasons.
  8. Just speaking for myself, I don't usually film whole songs because I also want to enjoy the show and dance instead of just film. I usually film mostly when Mika is speaking, so I can listen back later to what he said, or get a translation from other fans. Thanks. Was the car even there?
  9. Was Popular Song performed on the car again on the side of the stage, like in Clermont?
  10. So is that the same as the photobook they had online, just with a different cover? I hope they won't charge twice the price for a signed copy, I'd be totally ok with an unsigned one. 🙈
  11. I used to think the same - but from my experience at such restaurants you get about 5-10 courses instead of one big portion. They might call it a 3 course or 5 course menu, and these neatly arranged things are the main courses, but in fact you end up eating all the time, with some pre-courses and side dishes and whatever all these things are called. Mika says he's eating a LOT while on tour - he surely wouldn't go to a restaurant if he has to leave hungry.
  12. nothing decided yet, but I guess we'll meet up one way or another the day before the gig. Preferably near the venue, as I assume that's where most fans are staying. Guess it's just a loose meetup of maybe 10 MFCers, from the feedback we got here, so no need to plan that far in advance... but I guess slowly we should start planning. Maybe it'd be best to go for dinner to some sort of restaurant / bar where everyone can choose whether they want to eat much or little or just have a drink.
  13. Story by _sandylive_ ... maybe someone can transcribe / translate the details? He says something about everyone having dark days, but with music that he can bring to his audience he always feels better. 5A4EF33DAD935D05800CFC9F22CAE7B3_video_dashinit.mp4
  14. The end of OOL, by Nina: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3_SiYRt0-P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
  15. Thank you! Same as the first night, just with OOL added at the end. And they added this note: "Note: Concert delayed due to technical problems, which then continued during the concert, perfectly managed by Mika (with humor!)."
  16. Here is one of Bougez, I can't remember seeing this circus thing on the platform on Monday? But maybe I just was too focuses on the gorgeous outfit and didn't notice, haha!
  17. The IG account foreverlaradio posted a few stories (Relax, BG, CLV), but there seems to be no difference to what we saw at the first gig (except that Mika got a pink fan from someone in the crowd for BG). Maybe this time it's better to wait for the good quality YT videos and the reports / content by MFCers instead of uploading all the tiny snippets from random IG users, if they're not different to the ones on Monday (for example different songs).
  18. I can see the area behind the wheelchairs area on Bonntickets, but I don't see VIP tickets.
  19. He is. But I don't think he'll get access to Mika's Instagram account or even his phone. I would assume that the videos posted in Mika's stories are posted by Andy. Or filmed by someone and forwarded to Mika ... was he on stage already when the 2nd video was posted? If not, he could have received the video from anyone on his team and posted it himself.
  20. You have to buy the VIP upgrade in addition to the normal ticket. What you get for it is "seperate entrance without queueing" (it doesn't say whether you get in earlier or even at the same time, just that it's without queueing), access to VIP area with fingerfood & drinks, and free parking in the festival area. So you can go in the regular standing area, because you need that ticket as well. I guess if you want to arrive late & not queue (tho they probably couldn't guarantee the no queueing if 50 hardcore fans bought these upgrades 🙈) and you have a lot of money, and/or if you want to get drunk cheap, it might be worth the 100€. I'm not planning to buy it, don't think it's worth it.
  21. Yes, that - and also a 🖕 to the people who told him that he couldn't have international success with a French album.
  22. Another one in Germany! Musik im Park Festival, Schlossgarten Schwetzingen, 1 August. Tickets: https://www.eventim.de/event/mika-open-air-2024-schloss-schwetzingen-18361707/ Newspaper article: https://www.schwetzinger-zeitung.de/orte/schwetzingen_artikel,-schwetzingen-mika-kommt-zu-musik-im-park-in-schwetzingen-_arid,2181086.html Please RSVP here if you're going:
  23. I learned to appreciate that in Nice last year - you don't have sand everywhere. Looked at the prices for early August tho, and well, as tempting as connecting a Mika gig with a family holiday is, it's a compromise that's not ideal for anyone. Better to separate - family holiday for the kids, Mika holiday for me.
