Yes! Haha, I love those jeans on him, and I usually don't like jeans with holes. Montreal! I wish I could have stayed longer. Awww, that is amazing! I wub him uber muchly.

Oh, me too!!! The t-shirts and jeans look fits him SO well. (Especially when he's wearing THOSE jeans!!)

Thank you so much Blue Sky and melman for finding pics and vids!!! I LOVE those jeans of his. And he is such a darling for coming out in the rain to sing, and to meet fans after the show. Oh, Mika. Yes it is! I'm glad it's not just slow for me.

*sigh* Well, I have to go since I work tomorrow. I hope we have some reviews and pics in by tomorrow morning! Night, all.

Seriously, I have to go to bed soon. I know I'm going to wake up and see hundreds of posts.

Nothing yet? I know, everyone is waiting for me to go to bed before posting reviews.

Oh good!!! I hope someone gets good video of this. With a waterproof camera...

At least it's summer. Hopefully it's warm there.

Oh, I was out of town for Arras, and never read any reports. Does that mean there was a lot of energy?

Ooh, I really wanted to go to this one. When I Googled Aix-Les-Bains, I read it was a spa town by the water. Sounds lovely...but if it really was like Glastonbury, maybe it's a good thing I didn't have money to go.

Too bad it's raining. I would blame myself for it, but I'm not there. Of the 10 times I've seen Hanson in concert, it rained/sleet/snowed for 8 of them. It's never good weather when I see concerts. When I saw Mika it was rain/sleeting.

*waits as well* *twiddles thumbs* I suppose we don't need a reports and pics thread yet, do we?

Oh, I know! Following the US tour was exhausting. I had to work, but couldn't help staying on the MFC waaay too late. Mika should be on soon, right?

God, why do these festivals end so late?? I am so boring, lol, I hardly ever stay up that late.

Ooh, I've been out of town and I'm SO behind. I didn't know there was a Mikasounds YouTube account! Sweet!!! I've definitely subscribed to that now!

You know, that is one perk to living in the US. It'll be early evening here when Mika performs. Lots of time to stay up for reviews and pics.

Wow, I didn't know all 3 of his sisters are on board with the designs!! That is really, really cool. But poor Zuleika--I hope she ended up doing well enough on the exams!

His shoes are AMAZING!! *really wants a pair*

Oh my goodness!!! I've been out of town for a week, and I'm just now catching up on the past few gigs! Amazing...thank you to everyone who posted pics, vids, links, reviews, etc. Carlota, your pic with Mika is adorable, and I love the scarf he's wearing!!

You already get a discount there! So yes, just keep making sure Mika is on display in the music section and all will be well.

Well, I'm glad they only do that for big chain stores, because I work at an independent bookstore, and we hate when customers do that.

Oooh, so it's definitely going to be on the new album! Yesss!!! Someday I will be in the front row!!

I do occasionally enjoy a bit of schmaltz. Well, I know people want something new, and expect amazingness from Mika, but...if it's too different, will you still like it? Maybe the direction Mika wants to go isn't one you want him to go. That said, I also think very much that Mika is saving the best for the record. We're not going to hear the final songs, or the ones he's really excited about right now, because he wants us to be in suspense, and really be surprised when the new album comes out.

I almost feel like some people here won't be satisfied unless the new songs are like LICM. Any attempt at something new, and you'll analyze every note to death and find something you don't like about it as much as you love LICM. I like "Rain". I do think the chorus goes on a bit, but the song itself is beautiful, and I look forward to hearing it again--a studio version would be wonderful to get my hands on eventually, so I hope it is on the album. I think we need to hear it performed more than once to get a real sense of the song. One listen isn't enough, especially a live performance. Just my two cents.

Absolutely. I hate clowns, but that is an AMAZING stage.
