Graciosa

I agree with you completly. Last december I and some other had our fears whether Mika will be continue as musician. Then he decides to go his own way away from Universal. Because, as you say, I had to sell out his venues, he had to sell his music. He got the chance to capture at the Italian market and his decision to do xfactor works very well for him how we can see at the sales from Songbook Vol. 1 . Ok, I'm looking a bit envious to Italy , because he is so much time there and I can't speek the language enough. But however I enjoyed xfactor a lot, also because of the help from all kindly italian fans who translated so much. I am happy when he goes on board XFactor again. In my eyes it wouldn't be a wrong decision. Even with the risk that the fourth album which seems really important for himself will need a bit longer as he now hopes . And we shouldn't forget, everyone who has to earn money do a lot of time things he has to do for money, and Mika has to do that also - and I think he has fun in the things he do this year. Not an artist can't sell his album, can't sell out his venues without marketing.

Yes, I'm also very happy for Mika! A really good thing which is coming because he is doing x-factor.

I'm not that sure if I would worked under him. You could grow up, but he is such a perfectionist, so it would be very very hard. I was shocked about his open critics to Valentina and Gaia in front of the cameras. But I think he was right with his words: Simona will kill you with 2. Performance like that. I found tis critic with his conviction that they can do it better a clever move from Mika.

Yes, if my daughter would wear a a costume like this at school I wouldn't be amused! Also when from spring to autumn you can see here a lot of girls on her way to school with at most 1 cm more to drape. But in a show like XFactor? I would be proud if my daughter could wear a costume like this. :fisch And - who is prudish enough and is not loving, when Mika gets his shirt off at a gig from time to time?

Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing. I loved to watsch, especially Mika and the girls.

The link is not working for me, but thank you for trying.

Thank you so much for your point of view! It's very interesting.

Yes, even when you don't understand italian you could get that. I really liked xfactor Italia until now; but this - no! I only hope Mika could enjoy his job at xfactor until it will finish.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I had the same feeling after seeing the little peaces from xfactor on YouTube. It seemed like a fight against Mika. It would be very nice if you could translate it.

YES, they are so powerful! It's a pitty that outside from Italy we can't see the daily things with them. I'm sure I would love it.

I think for Mika and his promotion it would be better if the Londoners were not too clever - it would attract more attention if the first 100 people would be present at 8 am at Oxford Street. You can see that now in the attention to the Fnac event.

Same here I really loved all their performance on XFactor. I really would do love know more about this great Group.

Thank you so much for sharing. Mika and Ariana where so great at this performance.

Mari and Kumazz: thank you so much for sharing the links and for all pics.

Hi Sarina, I'm also teamless. Perhaps we could create a new team.

You are so right! I didn't expect that I would enjoy Xfactor so much, but I enjoy every minute with Mika there. Tank you to everyone who share the vids with us.

Here - with other bad fans - is my place! It feels good to know that I'm not the only one. No game for me, I was too lazzy to search for the answers. But...I saw Mika and Ariana Performance, not live but as soon as possible. And...wath I never expected ... I love to watch Mika at XFactor. I never saw XFactor before and I even speak italian... but Mika is sooo lovely there.

Krysady: You are sooo right! I saw the stream on my phone in Liege. And now with Youtube I can look it again it again; sendspace don't work on my pc. Thank you for streaming and uploading.

Thank you for getting me in, I know I was quite late. And a huge thank for your work.

I hope you all also could enjoy the gig from Mika. You did a great job!

Here my little report. Really enjoyed my or better our Colmar weekend. My hubby (Mr G) and I startet at friday after a very stressful week (real life sucks at the moment) to Strassbourg – a very lovely and peaceful city and the right beginning of our little vacacion. On Sunday early morning we went to the festival, there we had a cozy time together with the other fans, even if to some we just smiled because of the language barriers. Only when Ingie, Miri, Luke and Bubbles came and spent the wristle bands, there where drama. I felt very sad with french fans, who I've known a long time by sight. MFC is the official fan club, but I understand every fan who doesn't speak English, when they staying (too little) here. On the other hand, I was really shocked about that aggressiveness against Ingie, Miri, Bubbles and Luke . A aggressiveness the 4 led to wait in their car - there were a way many emotions! The organizers had their instructions and didn't deserve this. Anyway I am very happy that ultimately not only 35 but nearly 100 fans were at Mikas M&G. Now for the most important - the concert! With Mikas French start: Le Soleil ... Outside of his concerts I never hear this song - but while the gigs I love it with the time. And this time, his reaction when he finally opened his eyes was priceless. Because I don't able to understand french, I haven't understand what he said between songs (perhaps there are still anyone who could translate here?), but Mika was greeted with a few words of his international fans, a little German and English spoken, so I felt very involved. Like the others have said, Mika was in a very good mood - his songs with new intros and endings - the time went too fast as always. I hoped to hear Live your life, Rose hoped a lot to hear Make you happy – you know he should play 1 or 2 hours more, than -perhaps- we all would be contented. A dream came true with the little piece of Overated, even when I at least needed 15 seconds to realize that it is Overated he's singing - a long time when he sings only 30 seconds. Like the last time in 2010, the audience where fantastic again, I also loved the things who organized the fans - the suns to Le Soleil where so nice, the blue balloons to Underwater, the hearts to Origin of Love and the champagne glasses to Drunk: that all completed the gig - at Mika gig I always get into child to kindergarten! Finally, a big thank you to all who have make possible the special M&G and for the birthday cake and cupcakes.

Sweetieval please don't feel uncomfortable because of any criticism about Mika's french festivals. I don't like "Un Soleil mal Luné" (how I love "Elle me dit"), but I found it really o.k., when he started with this song in a french spoken area. To tell the truth we can be glad that Mika has more success in France as he has in Germany or Great Britian and so he is invited for festivals in France. Hey it's Europe, not so far away like Amerika or Asia, also when we look jealously to your country. It's really not your problem when I'm too lazy to learn french and so even have problems to order a bottle of water. The people were always friendly and patiently with me. Whenever we are moaning we foreigners are only jealous! Certanly I prefered Mika had the same success in Germany or Great Britian and so on. But so long as he hasn't it in all Europe we could be happy that you french people love him so much. I had my very best experience of Mika gigs with fans -like you- at Bercy at 2010! I really wouldn't miss it, also when it's really hard to go to a french gig because the french fans are so hard early birds! And only in France you see the whole families who enjoy Mika - and I enjoyed this at some gigs a lot. Sometimes I think in Germany men be afraid to be considered to be gay when they say they like Mika. This is so much more relaxed in France. That do not apply for my husband. He loves Mika music and he loves to see Mika live! No Sweetieval I'm sorry, but I wouldn't exchange my husband during the next Mika gig season, no change. But however, even if your husband hates Mika he let you go to the gigs which you want to go - I think this is also generous. With the secret showcase I had a bunch of luck, I think I was the only one from MFC, but there was a little group who know Mika very well - and knew the lyrics also. Wonderful pic, thank you Valerria.
