Let's hope so. Mika should be a household name.

Yep, we met. I thought I had seen you before, but I was wrong. You're a very nice person by the way.

I stayed at the Bryant Park Hotel too. I splurged for the location, and we weren't even there for the concert. LOL If it wasn't for Natalie, I would have missed everything. I didn't get my wake up call, but she called my cell. Also, I was told that the free concert was at 2 PM. Again, Natalie came through by texting a message, and letting me know it was at 1 PM. I owe my happiness on that day to her. I met some people on the lines, but we either didn't introduce ourselves, or I forgot names...I'm allowed at my age. LOL I met two nice gals from New Hampshire. They didn't get in the studio, and I met them waiting to get in for the acoustic concert. I told them about the fan club, and explained how to get to this one. We got separated once we went in, as I was looking for someone short to stand behind. I had a great spot. Anyway, to everyone I met...hi and it was nice meeting you. I may be forgetful, but I know when I see "nice."

Well, my entire post is gone. How that happened is beyond me. I'll summarize. You have helped me to re-live that day. The acoustic concert was surreal. It was so special. I love when Mika's at the keyboard...he soars. It was so intimate. I was going to take a taxi back to the Bryant Park area, but I walked instead. I was so dazed by the experience. Because the concert was supposed to be at the park, I didn't have anything for Mika to sign after GMA. I used the crumpled up vip form. I made two necklaces for him, which I presented in a bag. I never expected to give it directly to him. He said that he couldn't open it until later. I didn't expect that nor want it...kind of embarrassing. I didn't say much, as I had a delayed reaction...nothing new. I also put a note in the bag that went on and on and was kind of silly. I should have left it short and sweet, but I can be impulsive at times. See, I'm rambling on. Anyway, it was truly an honor to meet not only Mika, the singer/songwriter, but also the selfless and compassionate person that he is.

Yes, kudos to all who arranged for the VIP passes. This was the first time I saw Mika live, and it couldn't have been better. I was supposed to go home on Friday, but extended my stay until Saturday, because of the free concert. What a special treat. He was sooo great. I'm still dazed.

Thanks for posting. I didn't know they were going to do this. He was so great.

I totally agree. I have never been on a site like this. This is Mika true fan club. I love you all.

It says that you can bring a camera. It's right by the mention of bringing an umbrella in case of rain.

I want to thank you, freddiesdouble, and cazgirl for your amazing efforts. You have made this trip more exciting than it already is. The endorphins have started to flow. Who needs a cocktail? This is so much better, and healthier too.

He's more recognized now. Thanks for the post.

I totally agree with you. I think Erase would be good. However, Stuck in the Middle shows off his versatility the most, in my opinion...piano, scat,... It would be good if he played SITM on GMA. I think that he'd win over the US with that song. However, in some areas of the country, he will never be embraced. What a shame.

I saw Mika on Logo quite a while ago. He did Love Today, and he had just released it...I think. It must have been NewNowNext. It was a pleasant surprise...understatement. That video is fantastic. They also have a top 10 video show. I will record it at times and scan through them to see what looks good. Christina Aguilera, Lily Allen, Rufus Wainwright were all shown at different times. Sadly, I have not seen Mika again. I will have to watch the commercials and scan through the videos.

It's just a shame that the media presents this as Mika being upset, instead of joking.

He's ill? I don't get it. He's doing GMA on that day...or is he?

This is such great news! Thanks for posting.

True or not, it's old news. Check out the date. Actually, he has said some nice things about Freddie and Queen. It doesn't sound like Mika. Why would he be upset about the clothes? No one asked him about it.

Darn! I'm missing everything! Glad to hear that he's been having more exposure here.

No luck for me.
