I think def. chicken.

Was that David Tennant in the audience? LOVE him...

I think you are right, Deb. Remember that lady in DC who knew Mika's mom? She said her name to me and it was something like that.

At the DC show in June of '07, I got to meet him after. He spent a long time speaking to fans, and I think he spent at least 5 mins. talking to me. I gave him a little scrapbook of the MFC'ers and he seemed to like it. He particularly was taken with a drawing Jack Violet did (did you forget that moment, Jack? ). He spoke with me very naturally, unhurried. I hung around and he spoke with me several more times. We got pictures and autographs. He drew a picture in a scrapbook I had and signed it.

At the Philly concert recently, I made him a t shirt and he made an effort to reach through the crowd to shake my hand and say thanks when it was given to him.

Personally...I feel very happy with the experiences I've had with Mika. When I saw him last June, he performed when he was sick...did a great job of it, too. On top of that he met with us fans for about 45 minutes. I had all that time to speak to him, clown around and take all the pictures I wanted. This was when he wasn't even feeling well. This was certainly more for the price of my ticket than I've ever got from any other artist I've ever seen.

I've seen a second show now...in Philly....and I really don't mind him repeating things. I guess if he were playing only to me and he repeated everything it would be annoying. But there are more people seeing him for the first time than not at every show, and I understand this...and I expect it even.

I understand your viewpoint, Jack. But I guess I feel that Mika gives so much of his time and tries to accomodate us that I wouldn't criticize him for repeating phrases in his shows. I feel like he's pretty hardworking (his schedule is brutal sometimes) and that he delivers on the music and the showmanship...in spades. He's very thoughtful of his fans, I think...and this, for me, would cover a host of sins, including repeating himself.

It was a really good performance. My parents really don't know all of who I listen to because I listen to so much but my mom was in the room and I'm like "Mom this is MIKA!!!" i don't know if she was to sure of him because of his outfit and such. She has a cd player in her car now so I'll have to be sure to put MIKA in the car now.

You do that. Moms love Mika. I do, and I know a LOT of others that do too.

Welcome to inherbarefeet and fashionista. xoxo

SOOOOOOOO GREAT to see Mika on US TV!!! And God Bless Jay Leno for having him on for the second time!!!

Wonderful performance, lovely hoodie, sweet boy.

LUCKY LUCKY ones who got to go to Leno's show!!! Even if you had to see a bunch of mating animals first. Ha Ha!!!

Of course Simon's going to remember it! He's still got the bruises from where he's been kicking his own shins since early last year!!

AMEN to that!!!! Hee hee hee....seeing Simon smile like that was very rewarding. Wonder if that poor kid knew GK's connection to Simon? He couldn't have....but it was too rich seeing that song sung on AI.

As for Josiah, I thought he did ok. Of course he isn't Mika...and his rendition is nothing compared to the real thing. But he took the song, sung it competently, and made it his own. Also I give him HUGE props for CHOOSING to sing Grace Kelly!!! Yay! More exposure for the boy!

Oh...and that guy didn't have a double breasted suit on like Mika said. He had a three piece suit on. But double breasted means the jacket crosses over the front and has four buttons.

's Ok, Mika, I don't ever want you to wear a double breasted suit....

Oh....Love and Peace...love Ringo.

He was awesome...I think he looked perfect.

Please....these people are so catty and bitchy....that's what makes them fun to watch. Ludacris best male...he looked like a Mafioso.

They ain't seen NOTHIN' yet....you wait...a few years from now when Mika wears a Rainbow and collects 15 grammys....they'll be eating their words.

Those pics and vids are the BOMB. Thanks!!!!

I wonder if they made those t shirts....those are so cool.

You know...this reinforces my belief and anger----

Mika didn't get nommed for grammy for best new artist. Wino won...and the woman can't even do a tour. This man pulls it out day in and day out...does a FANTASTIC job even when he's sick and when he doesn't have his stuff. He DOES NOT disappoint.

I have to remember that Milli Vanilli also won best new artist grammy once upon a time.

Mika---YOU ARE SO AWESOME. You are loved....so loved!!!

I can't imagine Mika having a hard time getting a date of any variety anytime!!! Even before he was famous, he was gorgeous and sweet.

Darling...you have thousands of Valentines here now. There's an MFCer almost everywhere in the world who'd love to have dinner with you. It'd probably be fun...of course there might be a few whackos...but I can tell you that MFCers are really cool...at least the ones I've met!!!

I know Mika likes dogs. When I saw him last June, he was talking to us after the show...we were discussing his tamagotchi and how it kept dying. Then he said he was through with them, and instead he'd like to get a dog. I said (mockingly) "Oh no!!!" and he looked at me and said..."I'd have someone take care of it...."

He looked SO FABULOUS last night. Such a gorgeous man.

LOL Jack...You make Mika Jack

Wish Mika had won. I knew it was a long shot....I thought Rhianna would win. I dislike JT so much...yet another reason to dislike him.

Mika looks GREAT, as usual. So put together yet random...fantastic sense of style. Wonder what they'll say about him on Fashion Police? And those BRACELETS go down in Mika HISTORY. LG>>>good job!!!!

I'm so glad Mika got to see that circque di soliel performance. I saw the LOVE show in Las Vegas in January and it is the most awesome show. I wanted to tell him to go see it if he got the chance when I saw him in Philly. If you are reading this Mika....GO SEE IT.

Love, love, love Mika so much. HE was the best new artist of 2007. I'm sure Amy Winehouse is talented, but I'm sorry, if you can't control yourself at this stage of the game, where are you going to go but down? It's kind of a slap in the face to people like Mika who work hard, are out there with the fans, giving it all they've got. (just my two cents)

xoxoxox MIKA xoxoxo

Didn't see it in Philly, but Congrats!!!!

I made him a shirt that said "RELAX" on it....has anyone seen him wearing it?

I'm so pleased he's getting (so far, knock on wood) fantastic reviews! He's just a party on wheels here in the US.

I've taken every positive review, linked them, and sent them to the radio stations in my area....telling them that someone at their station has missed the boat and they better hurry up and get on board.

Wendi and everyone who made this possible....

THANK YOU XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

mfc'ers are the best and you are the best of the best!!!!

Well I'm glad you all had a great time....

Sorry for your misgivings, Jack.

While I LOVE the fact he likes to be close to us and include us....the jumping over the barriers is a VERY bad idea. I've been crushed by crowds twice, and both times it was an extremely frightening experience. People can literally die like that. Hope someone talks to Mika about this....and that they schedule people to come on at the end, like they do with BG and LPGs they pick from the fans. Of course, all the people chosen should be MFC'ers.

No Mika-pression for me yet. I'm still floating on a cloud thinking of it all. Philly was so awesome.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, Alice!!! He WILL remember. So now, you must go to another concert. Yes?!

So happy for you that you got to talk to him. He has a magical quality to him, it's just unforgettable. I WISH I had gotten to stay longer to see your interaction, but the dratted kid was cold and had to go to the bathroom....UGH. KIDS. They just drag you down.

It was a wonderful night.

I noticed those bracelets early on and wondered which one of us made them!!! Congratulations!!!!! Hee hee.... He loves our stuff. They were awesome.

I made him a t shirt, and if I see a pic of him wearing it I'll just die.

Loving reading all of what you all experienced. I'm sorry I didn't recognize everyone from the MFC...I was standing right near some of you and didn't know it. In DC Deb had a banner made, maybe we'll have to have another at the next one in the area so we don't all miss one another. I saw the ugly doll getting passed to him. What a great idea!

It is wonderful, this Mika-high, after seeing him. Feels so good.

Isn't it amazing how charismatic he is? I've never met or seen another person with that kind of power....that draws you in like he does. When he made the comment about the radio...not getting airplay here in the US, it made me want to go and beat down the doors to every station. I know...I know...Drink the koolaid.....How many cups, darling? LOL!

Infinite Green, Mika may have more than one manager. I know in DC he had a guy named Jerry with him, and I didn't see Jerry at all in Philly. Pity, 'cause Jerry was SUPER nice to us MFC'ers in DC. I'm sure people met with Mika inside (whomever had passes) and they probably got a longer visit because it was warm inside. Doesn't seem like any of the MFC got that chance this time though.

I think they were the couple in front of me. Two baldish, stocky guys?

 

--Jack

Well, the one was thin on top, light haired and the other was dark haired and appeared to have a full head of hair from the front. They were really enthralled with the whole show. It was fun to see them (and all the other people) around me having fun and loving it so much. I really like watching the other people around me too...and those guys were really loving it. Everyone was so enthusiastic. I saw ALL ages too....not just teens/young people. There were plenty of people in their 40's and beyond there...which also makes me happy.

There's not much I can add to what Jack and others have said....Jack, you have a wonderful memory for detail!!!! I remember everything but am sort of overwhelmed by the experience when I'm there and can't report it as you do!!! Wonderful Job! Sorry I lost you, Jack...I looked around and didn't see you. I was also outside afterward at the steps waiting for him. I didn't see you outside!

The perfomance was FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!!! I was blown away by the DC show---and meeting him afterward. I knew he wasn't well then but he was so good.... But THIS experience was intense and magnified in every way. There were more theatrics (which I love) and he was just so happy. "Happy" really is a poor adjective, but the man just exudes positive, loving, happy energy. Jack called it "glowy" and that's right on the mark. When he sang "How much do you love me" he was absolutely overjoyed that we were singing the chorus along with him. He gives out the love and the crowd gives it back in an amazing fashion...there were times I couldn't hear Mika for the crowd singing along, screaming the words to the songs back at him. My daughter took all the pics I got, plus some video. (I'm SO sorry but these will have to wait for a while to get uploaded. My computer is on the fritz, sent out to dell for repair. I'm on my kid's computer and I can't upload on this one, it's very rudimentary. It's also why I didn't get on last night to talk to you all....so sorry!!!)

There was a LOT of eye contact...I had my blinkie heart, and I was holding it up so he could see it....representing MFC ....and I swear he was looking right at me a couple of times. We were about three or four rows of people from the front. And unlike Jack, at times we were crushed by the crowd. I had nice people around me though. There was a couple behind me who were so nice and so into Mika--it was their first time seeing the boy--and although they were guys I didn't mind them getting into my personal space too much 'cause they were so much fun. I made friends with everyone I spoke to...Mika fans are SO awesome.

My daughter who was sort of blase about Mika is totally a convert now.

Outside the security people were so strict about the cameras, etc. I think they lay down the hard line but Mika always seems to just want to see and talk to people when he can. Now the crowds are getting bigger it just seems normal and necessary for him to have to pull back a bit. There's only one of him and security is an issue. But I'll NEVER forget being in DC and just "hanging out" with him for about 45 mins.

After this show we hung out outside with infinite green, her husband, A.Clay and her son in law--- I got to see him, and gave him my t shirt I made. He took it but didn't look at it right then. I had given it to a girl in the front and she gave it too him and pointed back to me. He reached through the crowd and shook my hand. I told him I'd seen him in DC and that was great, but I could tell he felt well this time and the show was phenomenal. He said that they all had a lot of fun doing the show. SIGH....

I left shortly after that....My daughter was frozen and had to go to school in the morning. (although she's off school today...icy out) So I don't know what happened to A.Clay....looking forward to hearing that!!!

I'm so happy to have met so many MFC'ers there...YOU GUYS ROCK. xoxoxoxo

Thanks, Deb...

I know you'll have a great time in NYC! Wish I could go to BOTH shows....but my hubby already thinks it's a bit much seeing him again already! He's fine with it...although I got a "you never made a tee shirt for me...." comment. LOL!

xoxoxo

Wow...I'm sorry you can't come Deb. I'm going to miss you and tootch so much!!!!

To ID me....I'm a big girl... he..he... I'll be wearing a brown and orange paisely top.

CAN'T WAIT.... I'm def bringing my camera. Got Mika's tee shirt done....will take and post pics later.

Hope we get to see Mika after the show, I'm going to be wearing my flashing heart.... But if not I'll still be satisfied, 'cause I got to meet him last time.

Making Mika a t-shirt that says "relax" in stylized and hand painted letters....

Looking forward to seeing all my mikamaniac friends.....

WHOO HOO!!!!!
