Guess it's time for me to write my report. But since it's already been three days since Lovebox and you know everything about it by now all I'm going to say is that for me it was incredible to be at a Mika gig once again! I had missed his shows so much and I was very happy to be hearing him play live after quite a few months. The concert might have been short but it was 100% brilliant:wub2:

Mika rocked as usual and needless to say performance of all the songs were very powerful like they always are! What can I say, he never ever (and I mean EVER) disappoints. Personally I was very very happy to hear the new songs live. They sound even better and more amazing live. Celebrate is the type of song that will get everyone singing and dancing along and that makes it perfect for gigs. Every time I hear it, it makes me smile and gives me that positive and optimistic feeling. And when you hear it live this feeling gets a hundred times more intense.

Hearing Make you Happy was another highlight for me. What a beautiful, sensitive, brilliant song and it worked amazingly well live too:wub2:

Also I really enjoyed listening to the old songs again, especially the new version of Lollipop sounded very fresh and fun!!!

Since this was a festival and the gig started at 5pm instead of later on in the evening etc I thought that technically it'd be really difficult or almost impossible for a m&g to take place. So I think it was really sweet of Mika that he noticed the fans waiting and came near the fence to meet everyone.

Here's my Make You Happy vid, the sound isnt good but I've decided to post it anyway

Thanks for keeping everything organized in the first post Marina & thanks everyone for posting and translating

Cant wait to hear L'amour dans le mauvais temps, I have a feeling it will be one of my most favorite songs:wub2:

Thanks for posting Anne:thumb_yello:

"Much more pop, 'Lola' is the 6th title. A true hit. A potential single which will please - this time - Mika fans. A title written and produced in less than 4 hours as the singer told us. A beautiful ballad with a catchy introduction where hand clapping and choirs are mixed."

 

I have a feeling I'm gonna love this Lola song

me too:wub2:

Pharrell part is not big but I thought it sounds more Mika this way.

Agree with you. There isnt a need to give Pharrell a bigger part. Maybe that would have made the track more commercial but the way it is, it sounds 100% Mika and I'm very happy about that:thumb_yello:

Label Barclay tweeted that there's going to be another interview on nrj.fr

but we dont know exactly when.

WHAT? the phone call was Mika? woahhh I thought it's some other dude

no some fans were able to call and ask him questions.

thank you Eriko for recording and posting the interview

Loved the interview ! It was funny sometimes ! :aah:

It was really funny when he explained how to take the cup of coffee from the hotel!

Wow, they are really talking Mika up, aren't they?

 

Teasing little bits of the song and all... but come ON!

 

MIKA where are you???

They said he'll be on in 15 mins. 8 o'clock french time:thumb_yello:

Thanks Lucrezia

I like the style of the shorter trousers, reminds me of the Marie-Antoinetter gigs!

Wish we could find some videos from this gig as well

Just listened to the song! It's so positive, optimistic and amazing!!! Cant stop thinking how brilliant it will be live, love it

Now listening to NRJ

Congrats buttons:thumb_yello:

Enjoy the gig and hope you find cheap flights!

Much,much,much better than MYH,IMO,even from this little snippet Can't wait to hear the whole song.But how do we know this will be the single played friday on radio,did I miss something?

NRJ tweeted that Mika will be presenting his new single and according to Amazon it's Celebrate.

Only three days now, or two and a half to be precise

thanks for posting

Absolutely love the new site, it's excellent! It's so simple and stylish and very easy to use.

And I love how they chose white as the main color for the site! It fits perfectly with his name being written in this light blue shade:thumb_yello:

The pics are so very stylish too, especially like the one with the tie!

Wow Celebrate sounds so full of positive energy, love it:wub2:

Cant wait to listen to NRJ and Virgin radio tomorrow! This reminds me so much of the premiere of Elle me Dit last year, soooo exciting

Huge thanks to French Amazon for the 30sec preview of the song

2 yrs ago...

 

you took a lovely pic Eriko, t4p:thumb_yello:

I will just be glad when they release the vip tickets

Me too:thumb_yello:

It's going to be a little harder than usual to sing along to the chorus.

Doesnt matter, I just want to hear it live:wub2:

I wonder if he's gonig to perform Make You Happy?

I hope he will

and no Mika in it...many will be disappointed again

it's not the official video. Lamay just posted that Universal said the video will premier next week:thumb_yello:

everyone can not watch this video?? GOD!!

 

yes its true. tweet from "Official Twitter of Universal Music Korea Int'l Rock & Pop "

 

and they said "wonderful his name is MIKA opppa!! a come back! next week will be showing new music video.only can watching on the web."

 

first down, then paly window media player ver8 or 9.

 

listening 1hr, over and over. he really change his music style at least at make you happy:mikalove: awesome

thanks for the info!!!!

Turns out if you keep trying with VLC it works. Just listened to the song:biggrin2:

It's very different, very experimental and a huge very pleasant surprise, love it:wub2:

I found "Ask a question" button, thanks!! I was afraid it's only possible to call them (and my English is not good enough to speak in a phone). If they will dispatch the tickets Friday or Monday it will make it here on time.

What makes me optimistic is that they send them with UPS and not the regular post. If they send them today then they will arrive tomorrow. I think I'll be checking my email again and again today lol

Got an email today from HMV, saying the last of the VIP tickets are being sent out today. Hoping mine is in them!

Thats good news:thumb_yello: Hopefully all our tickets are being sent today.

I haven't even received the message telling it's has been sent. I guess I need to contact them today. It takes a couple of days to arrive to Finland.

 

Edit: I can't find any address to contact them. Customer service address (sending confirmations) doesn't take any emails. I tried to track my ticket in UPS service (as said in the confirmation email) but it can't recognize my code so I went to my Ticket master account and the page says the ticket hasn't been even dispatched yet. Any advice?

If you want to contact customer service you have to go to the ticketmaster site and then click on customer service. It's written with small letters up on the right side of the page. Then click on How Do I Contact Customer Services and then click on Ask a Question.

Hope that they send the email to us too today about the tickets being dispatched.
