  1. Found the setlist on Twitter: Wow, some unusual choices?! seems he wanted to make sure no one got the first 5 right for the competition?
  2. A bit of Love Today: we posted all the songs here that we could find, just look through the videos... I think there might be more tho? What about Jane Birkin, Apocalypse Calypso and Passager? I was sure he'd sing these...
  3. poor quality clips WAG https://www.instagram.com/reel/C302nQarAzj/?igsh=MXF0MDlyMm1raHc3MQ== CLV https://www.instagram.com/reel/C30zah2r4tV/?igsh=NW05dm9mNTRzZmVy
  4. Same user also posted a clip of Yoyo: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C30uDHcr4Vl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== And here's another story by the venue, a part of Relax:
  5. Ok, here we go... putting this in a spoiler, just to make sure no one sees it who doesn't want to. The start of the show! Wow! antoine_evenements on IG
  6. Some pre-show videos, posted by the venue in their stories: 84463D8568CA709A87658496064D2E83_video_dashinit.mp4 6F4D35678640B684789BD98F38CAE38D_video_dashinit.mp4 20401220D9890F33241EF8B492F70BBC_video_dashinit.mp4
  7. The first photo of the stage (pre-gig), found on IG: Edit: looks like the support act is a DJane: https://www.instagram.com/stories/laurahope__/3311439149087691222?igsh=Nzc4N3MzaHl3dXlw
  8. I also hope that people do post videos - it doesn't have to be all over the internet, I respect that some people prefer not to see spoilers. But that's what the reports threads are for, you can click on it and look if you want to see spoilers, and avoid it if you don't. On social media you don't have that option... Besides, I think Mika said it's ok to share moments, just not surprises. I will definitely be waiting for news.
  9. Yes, I also get confused which tickets get sold through which website, there are so many. Gigs & Tours belongs to Seetickets, so it's different from ticketmaster and eventim.
  10. I've deleted your personal data, not sure why you posted that here? I heard from someone that fansale is only available for German addresses, but I don't know, I've never used it.
  11. I think that's the point to me - to feel that strongly about someone, as Mika sings in this song, there has to be more for me than just physical attraction. You might make eye contact with someone in a bar, feel attracted to the way they look at you, or the way they shyly look away, AT LEAST something like that. But this game that Mika describes doesn't sound like getting in contact with any of these people, but just looking and judging by the looks of someone, could I fall in love with them? It might be a fine difference, but exactly this tension, this potential that you talk about is missing to me in the scenario that Mika describes. And when you make eye contact with someone and you feel that strongly about them as Mika sings, would you talk about it with your friend right in this moment? If there's this tension in the air, saying to your friend "oh that guy over there is gorgeous, I could fall in love with him!" and they look over, would probably destroy it all. I mean, there's nothing wrong about either - the situation in the bar and the situation in the song, but I just can't bring them together, something doesn't feel quite right about it. Maybe Mika just described the initial idea, and then he really made eye contact with someone where this tension happened, and wrote the song about THAT, but he didn't want to go as far as saying that in an interview. But you know, thinking about it... maybe I just haven't flirted with anyone for too long and that's the only reason why the reality of it isn't familiar to me anymore.
  12. no, it's all fine, thank you! I've added the link to your summary post in the first post ("summary 2") next to the interview link.
  13. Just watched this - it seems to be different to the written interview. I was wondering about what he said about accents - why is he getting so defensive about it, was the question asked in a way that judges accents? Or is the meaning of the word "accent" in French negative as such? Of course he's completely right, he says that it's fantastic if someone manages to speak in a different language, and he loves hearing it. I also love the way he speaks in different languages, I can't distinguish whether he would have some sort of accent, but he's mostly speaking very clearly in any language, it's always much easier for me to understand him than to understand native speakers. Anyway, from the way he replies, he seems to think they mean "accent" as something negative? Do they?
  14. I've added the Google translation of the text file to your post. thank you!
  15. Mika talks a bit about 30 secondes in a Swiss interview: I like his reply to the 2nd question, but I must admit I'm a bit disappointed to hear this story behind the song. I guess for Touche Touche that setting would be perfect, but with 30 Secondes being one of the most romantic Mika songs (imo), thinking of how he plays a game with a friend in a bar, judging people around them by their looks, because that's all you have in a bar ... of course that's what people (especially guys) do, but there's nothing about this idea of destiny, about romance, about a special person that you can't forget. Well... as Mika wrote the song in English a long time ago, maybe that's what the original idea was but it has evolved to what is now on the French album. Or maybe that's exactly what the song is about, but then I don't want to know, but prefer to keep my own interpretation of it being about a special person and not just some random good-looking stranger.
  16. So, this will be my first gig of the tour! Just wondering, is anyone still looking for a place to stay the night after the gig? I've booked a cheap hotel room near the venue... it's for 2 guests but I'm alone, so if anyone wants to share, let me know. It's only 25€ per person, plus city tax. I'm leaving for Strasbourg by train at about 8am.
  17. As a reminder, the winners will be announced tomorrow on their youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ifmca ... fingers crossed for Mika!
  18. I think it's intentional because she's wearing braces - so by looking at her he asks her to be herself (love likeJane Birkin), so she smiles, despite the braces, which I think is something that many teenagers who have to wear braces are afraid of, to get judged if they show their smile.
  19. Well, as you say, it does make sense in the context of the song. We discussed this in the song thread, that blue jeans were typical for Jane Birkin ... so "love harder", probably like he thinks Jane would have (the way you describe it makes more sense to me, thanks!) would be the way to achieve feeling ok in your blue jeans, maybe?
