That's good news!! I LOVE The TBWKTM one.

Well done everyone from here who ended up in the top 10! I'm happy we didn't give up. Proud of my team.

Yeah. Can't seem to solve this one anytime soon - and I should be doing other stuff actually...

Thank you for the translation, Deb!

Don't think about the numeric code just yet, but focus on the hints given in the puzzle. Hope that helps.

Couldn't agree more! LOVE THESE PUZZLES! The only problem is I'm at work every day at 9:36 (the time a new clue gets anounced German time) - so I cannot properly concentrate on the puzzle with calls coming in and meetings being scheduled. But I still love it. Yeah. Today's puzzle was absolutely brilliant! So amazing how it all makes sense once you got the solution. The people at Swatch rock!

Ingie love, could you please send me the one on which Sarina, Kate, Miri and me are all wearing our best smiles while Mika is standing in the middle? Danke.

I think it's appropriate to use this smiley now

Have a blaaaast everyone!

I was actually planning to go to bed early tonight as I haven't gotton a lot of sleep lately - but TBH I'm still on a little cloud... I enjoyed the whole Colmar show so much - Meeting friends in the queue (Some Mika friends I hadn't expected turned up which was amazing ) was alredy a first highlight. The gig itsef was awesome as well - one of my favourite shows so far I think in any case from the bigger ones. The venue ist just so perfect for a Mika gig and the audience was so responsive. The whole energy in the place was incredible. Mika was in a great mood as you can see in the vids and really seemed to be having a great time up there. I turned around to look at the audience a couple of times and seeing everyone having the time of their lives just felt so amazing - as if we were all part of something very special. Unfortunately I couldn't take many vids and pix as I was busy jumping around and singing along to the songs at the top of my lungs... The M&G / B'day party afterwards was the cherry on top. A huuuuge THANK YOU to everyone who have put a lot of efforts in the organization! Thank you for making sure it turned out the way it did - with everone who attended staying calm and sitting down - which made it an unforgettable night for so many of us. The whole M&G was pure <3. Mika looked genuinely happy - and so did all of the lucky fans. What a lovely experience for all of us! I surely won't forget this day ever again. It is really exceptional that Mika is up for things like these. I cannot say how much I appreciate that he is so down-to-earth and seems to enjoy this part of the "fan-star relationship" as much as we do. The fact alone of singers signing stuff after a gig cannot at all be taken for granted. So many artists don't even bother to greet their fans waiting outside. Mika has always tried to meet fans after his gigs whenever it was possible and he has done sooo much more: bringing up fans on stage (dancers, choir,...), agreeing to do M&Gs at times (like this b'day party)...This is something really special and I will be forever grateful that I have luckily become a fan of the best popstar in the world. ;-)

Sure! It really DID look amazing.

I just uploaded mine (including his reaction to the sunshine surprise) - Loooved it. [YOUTUBE]fYHNrKw7nq4[/YOUTUBE]

This one is getting REALLY close now. I soooo can't wait!

Yes, Puggy were :wub2: From this year's list I only know Alex Hepburn. She's great though! [YOUTUBE]NGg-7cgGUMs[/YOUTUBE]

Yes!!! This is good news indeed!!!

Mille grazie for the translation!

This is indeed a very lovely speech! <3 I agree with you here. I'm happy he doesn't have to live a closeted life as many "had to" before.

Obviously Germany loves the Hungarian song as well! <3 So happy we gave our douze points to one of my favourites. And we gave 8 points to Iceland <3 Really really happy with our voting. I can live with the results...Although Denmark wasn't one of my favourite entries it is by far better than the songs which ended up second and third: Azerbaijan and Ukraine. Really happy to see Hungary, Italy, Malta and Greece in the top 10. Liked the Russian and Norwegian entries as well. Iceland should have gotten more votes...but hey, that's Eurovision. All in all it was a great show and I'm already looking forward to next year. Gotta love Eurovision!

It's Eurovision time! I seriously so cannot wait to see the show and experience the unique ESC spirit. These two songs are amongst my favourites as well! So tonight I'll be rooting for 1.) Iceland - can't stop listening to the song for weeks All I've got for this song is LOVE. Besides, I also reall like France, Italy, Hungary, Moldova, Belgium, Estonia, Armenia....Though I'm pretty sure that not all of them will manage to do well... The Danish song sounds alright to me - though in my opinion it doesn't deserve being basically THE only favourite...We'll see if it really wins... I have no idea how the German entry will do...lately I find Cascada s song a ittle bit less annoying than before - but that's how it's always like with Eurovision songs for me. Let the show begin!!!

I can't stop smiling since I saw this picture in the afternoon... :wub2: And Mika's tweet about them singing together. Have had this dream for sooooo long! And I know I'm not the only one. Who knows...under the right circumstances (like now =) ) they'd probably do a song together. Awww! About the show: What I've seen so far looks pretty impressive. I definitely need to do a Mika show in Seoul on day. Need to put this on my to do list.

Wow! This sounds super-exciting! Would love to go and see this show...

Waking up this morning it all feels like a dream to me. Yesterday's gig felt very special to me. Mika was so charming and spontaneous. Loved seeing him so much at ease. Hearing him sing parts of HE and Lola without a mic gave me goosebumps all over my body and moved me to tears. Yes, I usually don't cry at a Mika gig - But this was just so intense. <3 I never would have expected him to do this again after DC- So now I feel so blessed that I had a chance to see this gig. Dita's intro to "Big girl" was pretty amazing. I actually loved it. It suited the song so well and made it extra-special. MYH was more than beautiful, too. Yes, Mika made us happy. And I gotta say that after hearing it live twice I am in love with Hia Leah. Never would have expected that as I wasn't such a fan of this song when I first got to hear it. Thank you to the beautiful MFCers we spent the day with: Kira, Indy, Deb and Christine. I was really enjoying this. Last day sightseeing for us in NYC today...This little adventure is almost over. Loved NYC, loved the two Mika shows, loved everything. There's one thing for sure: I will never forget this week.

I finally got around to read all of your lovely reviews. Thank you! This really brought back so many memories. I don't know what to add to your reports...All I gotta say it that it definitely was one of my favourite Mika gigs. This North American acoustic tour has been so amazing and le PR wasn't an exception. Throughout the whole gig I was like "OMG - Flying over to NYC was definitely worth everything!" Mika's voice So powerful was just pure magic. So powerful. Like wow! And we were sooo close. I seriously couldn't believe I was there. Such an irreal feeling... It was lovely spending some time with the other MFCers in the queue. You all rock. Really looking forward to meeting some of you again on Friday.

This is getting really close. I really can't wait! Se e you all in the Q.
