  1. Hi, I haven't posted in a long time, but I'd love to share my SF report!

    My friends and I arrived around 4:20, and saw that there was only one group of people there (presumably MFCers) so we went across the street and got lunch/dinner.

    We waited in line (with Starbucks excursions) and not many people showed up for a loooong time. The band walked by maybe forty five minutes before we were left in, but we didn't run after them. :( They passed before we really noticed.

    Skip to the opening act. The singer was pretty cute. It was good I guess, but we were anxious for MIKA, of course.

    We were in the second row, behind people who for some reason didn't seem very excited throughout the concert... It was kinda weird because I wasn't sure why they were in front if they weren't going to get into it. The other side of the stage was much more active, so he kept going over to them more than us. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

    While we were waiting for Mika, my friends and I spotted people with what looked like angel wings on the side of the stage. Sure enough, the show began with Saranayde bursting out of a balloon dressed in a nude bodysuit and angel wings.

    Relax was amazing.

    There was a huge inflatable Big Girl during Big Girl, and it half fell over, so Mika went over while he was singing and pushed it up. It was cute. :)

    Stuck in the Middle! I looooved it. I don't know why I'm even saying how great the songs were, of course they were! But he extended SITM (like mentioned previously), and had the crowd repeat after him.

    A guy dragged Mika's big M out, and Saranayde came out in costume and sang on top of it, ripping off her skirt to reveal a sparkly black fringed bikini. Mika skipped onstage wearing the hottest jacket I have ever seen! I don't know what song it was since it was a new one (or at least not on his CD). Man, that makes me feel like such a bad fan haha.

    Love Today started with a rain of confetti and Mika twirling his umbrella. A guy in a giant inflatable skeleton costume walked onstage and came to the front, then back to Mika. Mika turned around slowly and hugged him. Collective "awww" from the crowd. :)

    Shirt off during Love Today, and a drum-off with Cherisse.

    ...and LOLLIPOP! A huge sheet was draped from the top of the stage so we could only see the shadows. Mika was a big bad wolf and shot the bunny with a floppy gun. Balloons and madness. At the very end, he pulled a girl onstage and everyone started clambering to get on. We were squished against the stage. A girl in front of me climbed on, and I made up my mind that I was going to follow her since she cleared an opening! So I jumped on and people were pushing me up! It was so cool. Dancing onstage was a very strange experience. I just danced and sort of noticed how many people were there and the mayhem and confetti and balloons! Insanity. The song ended and we were herded to the side of the stage. The band passed by, but I didn't see Mika. There were about five of us. Then the guards told us to get off, so we walked back onstage, and some people took the set lists (darn! I forgot to until they already had them), but I grabbed an orange balloon hidden near the drumset.

    I passed the balloon to my friend.. and this is starting to get to the bad parts. :\ Well, to summarize the rest, some mean girl hit the balloon out of my friend's hands and my bag was so close to being stolen I can't even understand how lucky I am.

    BUT this concert was AMAZING, even better than the last one. A lot more out there, which made it even more entertaining. MIKA <3

  2. Thank you Babs! (As always!)

     

    Well, now that I see this one, I don't get what the whinging is about. They did exactly what half of you wanted after seeing the first one... cut it up more so that the dancing was more vibrant and professional-looking. I don't know, the "storyline" inconsistency doesn't bother me so much, though I am sad that the dancing-circle bit was cut out. Not only Mika's dance-off with some of the girls (which was great!) but also the little boy doing the flip, and the pan that showed it wasn't just Big Girls there, but also men and women of all sorts of sizes. Then again, since the song is called Big Girl, it makes sense to focus on that.

     

    So yeah, I wish more of the circle bit had been kept, but I do like it.

    I totally agree with you about the circle thing. I like both videos - each has its pluses and minuses. :biggrin2: mostly pluses, of course.

  3. luckily he kept his shirt off for a while. he took it off on stage, and then put a new one on, on stage. the one with the little girl. everybody was yelling "keep it off!". but he was sweating like crazy.

     

    even if i got to see him without a shirt. you met him. i couldn't :( next time

     

    Wow, sweat. Haha. He's so much sweatier than the other pics I've seen of him. It sounded like an awesome time (of course)! :biggrin2: "Mika runs on Mika time" (I don't know who to credit that on this forum to though)

  4. I totally agree with Mika's choice to stay away from disclosing what he "is." Because even if he said he were straight, it could still pigeonhole him. I don't know, at a young age I don't think he should label himself because he's still growing and could change.
