I finally made an account for my pictures. So if anybody is still interested in them: http://s745.photobucket.com/albums/xx92/Statue_of_Liberty/Mika%20in%20Hammersmith%20Apollo%20London%2028th%20Feb%202010/

I didn't delete any BG/LG-photos, just in case that one of them wants to see them.

 

Nobody will notice that I like Martin

Hey guys!

Is there anybody who wants to give away their ticket for Hamburg and / or Stuttgart. I'm thinking of going there. It's just me, so just one ticket each.

and some by statue_of_liberty (have i mentioned that her pix are absolutely fantastic?! )

 

 

Thank you! Am sorry, that I didn't post the pix. Someday I WILL create an account at photobucket or something like that

If anyone wants to see some more pix, you can pm me and I'll send them to you

Second Hammersmith-night for Mika, second Mika-gig for me. And I loved it - again.

When I woke up that day I noticed that I could move my feet again which was brilliant and, not less important, that there was sun! So we went to the venue around 10 am and I got number 18. It was nice to recognize some MFCers from the day before and to chat a bit. But the best thing was that we were sent away from the venue for about two hours. We could have some lunch and get warm again. And afterwards we could enter the venue. It is so funny how special you feel when you are inside some doors and many people are standing outside with the wish to come inside I know it's mean, but I've stood outside so many times in my life

I liked Erik Hassle more than the evening before, because I recognized some songs. But he won't become my next superstar.

Mika seemed to be in a better mood than the night before. I didn't notice important problems. The whole show was perfect, I loved it. Just one bad point: I missed some naughty looks Mika gave us during the first time But apart from that, everything was brilliant. The smoke-machine worked as it was supposed to do, the Lollipop- and Big Girls did a great job, even if they were even more than the other day and Mika + band were beyond fantastic Oh, I think I got some eye-contact from the curly guy on stage. The first evening he just looked at me when we both sreamed the "hey" in Grace Kelly He did the same this time, but also in some other songs he looked at me I think

The M+G was short and well-organised as the other one. I wasn't able to speak to him, but got another autograph Mellody asked an important question which was more important, I took some pictures and saw some more Pennimans than the one on stage which was kind of an aim for me this evening So I could stagger back into our hostel very pleased and happy.

The bad thing is: now I have to check if it is possible to see some more gigs than the other two planned...

 

Oh, about pics and stuff: I took many pics, some of them are quite good. As soon as I conquered the technique, I'll post some. I made like three short videos, but I don't think they're worth being uploaded.

Without reading any of the other reports (I was sitting next to Mellody when she wrote her though ) I try a report:

 

My whole London-stay was an adventure. It was my first time in London and my first time to see Mika. It was planned to watch only the second show. But when I met some really nice MFCers I got convinced I HAD to watch both gigs. So we started my Mika-day around noon and I was proud to be number 39. The queueing itself was an adventure, too. There were many nice people and I didn't expect to have so many interesting talks. A special thanks to Mellody and Monie who fought for my ticket like a lion mother for her baby Even though the wheather was disgusting (rain, wind, cold ), it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. The only thing I didn't like were the last twenty minutes because nobody knew when we finally would be able to go inside. But that's always like that...

I noticed that Erik Hassle was there. And that's everything I remember as an impression from the first night. He was just there. Not good, not bad. Just there.

Mika's gig was brilliant. I loved every second of it. I also loved the problems they had. But, to be honest, I didn't notice the majority of it. I saw that David had a problem with his keyboards and that Mika told us just something in order to do anything. During the gig I wasn't sure if My Interpretation was on the setlist, but I really enjoyed that. If singing an additional song is a solution for a problem, I want Mika to have more problems on stage The second thing I noticed was the crazy smoke-machine. That was, funnily enough, during I See You. Well, we couldn't see anything, but laughed unstoppable . The last problem I saw was just that some Lollipopgirls / Big Girls forgot to throw their flowers. But that's no big deal, I think. All in all I loved every single problem because that makes the whole show very human and I absolutely love an improvising Mika He did a fantastic job anyway. So did the band. The whole concert was phenomenal

The short M+G afterwards was very calm which I liked. It was well-organised. Mika looked gorgeous and he signed my ticket I told him how brilliant I found the concert because I heard that he was annoyed by the issues they had.

To sum up, it was a great experience, a great first Mika-gig and I was, unable to stand or walk, really looking forward to the next evening

 

Thanks for posting!

I just found another vid of Martin talking... he's easier to understand:

 

 

 

I love his laugh there It's a bit dirty

No probs! I've had a lot of practice understanding Scottish accents cause there's a Scottish man in the pipe band I play in... Besides that, I looooove the Scottish accent ... And yay for more Martin fans! I've been such a slacker lately, I've been spending a lot of time in Jimmy's thread!

 

 

I wouldn't worry about when you speak to him, he usually doesn't speak with such a strong accent. I was speaking to him in Sydney after the concert and he was very easy to understand ...

 

Actually, I'm not such a new Martin-fan. I just didn't write in here But I read almost everything

So, when the moment ever comes in which I meet Martin I just tell him to speak his best Oxford-English if he wants me to understand anything

Okay, As Freddie said he's speaking in a very broad Scottish accent () which makes it very difficult to hear...

 

What I can make out:

 

.... for a second. I have to try and stop this guitar from feeding back!

 

It's really really annoying...

 

...

 

It's really pissing me off...

 

Maybe it could do with a little bit of duct tape..

 

I just need one bit...

 

 

That's all I can make out... not only is there the crowd to deal with, Martin's accent is really broad there..

 

Wow, thank you Aww, I'm officially a Martin-fan now

I don't get the Scottish accent in general. So if I ever meet Martin I won't get a single word But that's okay... I like him anyways

Hey lovely MFCers

 

There are two reasons why I'm writing what I'm writing:

1. I think Martin's thread should be on the first side of this forum, he's worth it

2. I'm constantly looking for new videos on youtube including a speaking Martin Well, I found this here:

and I quite like it. But I've got a problem: from the moment on in which Martin is starting to talk I couldn't understand one ore word I just got Mika's bad word Maybe it's because I'm no native speaker, but maybe it's because of the background noise. Anyway, do you understand what they are talking? I'm definitely too curious for this world

Thanks everybody for your reports, pics and videos

 

Well Keti and I just feel the same. The first gig in Berlin ever, Leipzig cancelled.

 

That's nothing to laugh about even if it's naughty On the other hand: without the Leipzig-cancelling I wouldn't go to London

He's in honeymoon

Wow, thanks for posting!

Wow! Thanks for posting!

Loved reading it. A lot of new information included

He's baaaackk!

 

About to start a live Q&A on http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace now! Oh and hello again I'm back x

:boing:

Has the yt-link already been posted? If not:

 

Thank you for posting it...

I love the end of the interview:teehee:

 

 

Yes, I remember that, too. Not sure which one though...

 

 

Yes, it was a radio interview. This one:

It seems to me that him and Mika do many things the same way after my observations in NYC

 

Now I'm dying to know what you observed in NYC

 

Edit: The quote is by Sariflor

Could anybody tell me what he said about his dad and his accent? That would be

 

BTW it's funny that I think I understood a bit without any knowledge of French Well, the stories are the same all over again

I guess, this:

 

 

is a video of it?

Did we already know that this is going to be on television tomorrow?

Does anybody record it?

 

My internet connection doesn't like me today... It's fast enough for letting me know what I miss but too slow for me enjoying the gig.

 

I'm a bit ashamed to be German right now. The audience is sooo quiet. I know, it's a small venue. But I got the impression they don't even know who that good looking young man on stage is. And most of them DON'T understand English, I think.

Embarrassing

I did not count up. I think, about 100 times

And then is going boo and an interdiction)

 

To avoid the break you can vote on the sites of other countries. I voted on the English site and now on the German one: http://ema.mtv.de/abstimmen it´s the same site just in German.

 

mikasounds Coming to Mexico City on Thursday!
