I guess I need to write my report before I start catching up on all the videos, threads etc I havent seen these past few days that I've been in France. First thing I want to say is that both Nice and Vienne have definitely become my most favorite gigs so far! They've been beyond amazing and all the new songs sound even more brilliant live:wub2:

The performance of Underwater was sooo beautiful!! I was so much looking forward to hearing this song live ever since I first watched the video of its premiere in Seoul last year. It really is the type of song that gives you goosebumps when you listen to it live kinda like Over My Shoulder.

Lola sounded also 100% brilliant!!! After this performance in Nice I love this song even more. Celebrate was fantastic as well!! You just cant help but sing along to it. It radiates such a positive, optimistic and happy feeling especially when he sings I'm cooooming home, thats my favorite part of the song!

and what can I say about the Origin of Love other than :wub2: I adore this song

Also the old songs sound so fresh! Loved the intro to Blue Eyes and the new version of Lollipop. Starting the gig with Big Girl was also a great idea too! The performances of Rain and Happy Ending were definitely some of the best we've heard so far, they were sung with such emotion and heart. The last part of Love Today when he has 'killed' the band and leaves the bassist to sing on his own is so funny. Wish someone has that on video.

Hearing Karen again was a fantastic surprise too, I had missed hearing it live so much!!! The reaction that Elle me Dit got from the audience was phenomenal! It's such a powerful and amazing moment when everyone sings pourquoi tu gaches ta vie as loud and as enthusiastically as they can.

One more thing that I have to say is that I was very very happy to see Mika play the piano again!!!

About the m&g I think it's really kind of him to come and meet the fans even though he must have been really tired! I had printed the origin of love illustration that he posted on twitter a few days ago and got it signed. I'm very grateful for that!!

How great that we got to hear the clip of the recorded version, cant wait to hear all of it!!! This songs sounds sooo good:wub2:

Enjoyed listening to the podcast so much! Ever since that Radio 2 show on new year's eve I was hoping that at some point another radio station will give him the opportunity to do a show. So you can imagine how much I appreciate it that we have the podcasts now!!!

It's brilliant that he chose songs that are so different from each other. It's always fascinating to listen to so many different types of music/artists because all that matters isnt the style or the genre but the fact that they're good songs.

Really looking forward to the next podcast:biggrin2:

My report.

 

I arrived at Parc Valmy two hours after the doors opened, I was worried because I thought I could't meet any MFCers but I was lucky just come in I saw some of them at the front row. Nice girls. Chat whith them all day. Thanks to them I was not alone It began a long wait

 

We wait for Mika to performs six hours under the scorching sun but I guess Mika fans are used to wait for hours, Mika gives us strenght

 

I have to say I liked two of the singers that performed, Camille and Benavar, I didn't know the last one but it surprised me in a good way. Mika appeared after midnight, so PERFECT. Mika was SUBLIME in his performance, one of the best I've ever seen. He was out of control, dancing like crazy when he performed "Rain" and I think it was singing "Lollipop" he danced like a fool on the piano, he looked very happy. Made a killer scene with "Love today" he had a very good complicity with the new band Almost cry when he sang UW, was so touching, the best performance.

 

 

After the gig we wait for him almost two hours but it was worth it. We could talk with him. He spoke with me in a perfect spanish. He was so kind, he signed all of us and took a picture with every one who was there, one by one. Another dream come true.

Mika is an "animal" on stage.

I can't attend too much gigs so every one I go it's special Just finished the gig and I already miss him. Hope I can see him again soon.

 

I'm still in heaven.

Really happy to read you had such a great time Alba! How wonderful that you got a pic with Mika:wub2:

thanks for recording the interview Marina:flowers2:

he mentioned the Cirque d'hiver again:wub2:

about the release date I'm sure it hasnt changed. It's obvious that the presenter wasnt sure about the date she said.

Have fun everyone!!!

Darnit, where are all of these interviews anyway???

thats what i've been wondering too but I guess they'll appear sooner or later.

 

And he told that he remembers that day in 2010 when we took that photo. He said sorry for not giving us autographs on that day because they were really late.

 

The photographers took very many pictures of me and Mika. Here are some of them.

 

 

 

 

 

And here's a video of Happy Ending and the bubbles!!

 

I also have videos of Lola, Origin of Love and Underwater. I will upload them later.

thanks for the report:thumb_yello:love the drawing he did on your pic!!

and the Happy Ending video with the bubbles looks once again amazing:wub2:

Is it Mika on his way to Russia to performs in that festival, or it was a joke?? do you know something?

since this wasnt yesterday, I guess it'll take place tomorrow because this is the last day of the festival.

thanks Mellody:thumb_yello:

Really looking forward to hearing the Benassi collaboration. It sounds so fascinating that this song has both an electro side and the symphony orchestra playing on it.
