  2. Hello!!

    I finally got home at 3am last night......still walking on air from one of the best nights of my life. I'm not going to give details of the gig cos others have done it, and to be honest my mind is still dealing with everything...I just want to say a few things:

     

    -It was my 3rd Mika gig, and I've never ever seen him (or any artist for that matter) have so much fun on stage. It was obvious that he was enjoying every second of it, and he was playing to the crowd, speaking lots of Spanish, and generally having a great time. This made the experience all the more special for each person.

     

    -Thanks to all the wonderful MFCers that I met! It was fantastic to meet you all and I hope we can do it again soon! Being there with you made the whole time so so enjoyable.

    It was extra special for me to be at the gig with Asun and to see Ana on stage, she did a fabulous job! I thought I was recording the whole thing but at the end of the song it turned out that my camera hadn't done anything, grrr! But I know other people recorded it, and I made sure to record her during Lollipop!

     

    -Having the chance to properly meet Mika was a dream come true for me. I got to chat with him and I have a few things I really want to say: I can't speak highly enough of him - he's genuine, friendly, and such a warm person. As I'm sure many of you know, when he speaks to you, he gives you his undivided attention and treats you as though you're the only person there. He really listens and you can tell he takes in everything that you say and everything that's going on. He has no airs about him...he just appeared and went around the circle, chatting to each person in turn, and he has absolutely no ideas of superiority - he's just himself, and I get the impression that fame and success haven't had the slightest effect on his ego. There are many artists out there who could learn a lot from Mika about how to treat fans as real people. He's a true gentleman and a credit to himself and his family.

    To finish, I'm uploading vids so I'll post links as soon as they are done.

     

    :wub2:

     

     

     

    Thanks everybody for the reports, I always enjoy reading them!

  3. so here comes my report, it's meant to go on my blog afterwards,so there are a lot of things that have already been said, if you don't wanna read it, don't :bleh:

     

    I took the train to paris on the 3rd already, met niki at the train station « gare du nord » and we went together by subway to Em’ place. The hardest part was getting my suitcase through those thingies at the access to the subway. We had a nice evening, watched bits of the DVD, and laughed a lot lol

    The next day we arrived at the venue at about 9 :30 am, there were already about 30 people, the first had arrived apparently at 4. The beginning of the waiting was awful, we didn’t really know where to go, we were being told something different every 5 minutes. But then it got better, once they had put up the fences. We got wristbands which would make sure we would get to the front. Thing is, the place were we had to wait was in the sun, no shadow whatsoever, so we all ended up sunburnt. Oh well, I prefer this to rain or to the cold! During the waiting we could get out to go eat some fries and all in all time passed rather quickly I thought. It was like sunbathing and chatting with friends haha At one moment the grey van arrived and Olga got on it. When she got back, she told us Mika was in it and asked her to pick 50 people for a meet and greet. I learned later that she had picked me and niki, so nice.

    The doors opened at about 4 :30 pm, so we hurried, then entered the wrong door by mistake :boxed: and then ran, whenever there was no security guard. I pulled niki during the whole run, the poor girl almost lost her shoe lol But we made it front row! We didn’t realize at first that we actually had a very good spot! We were at the left of the huge catwalk, but could still see him quite well when he was on the actual stage, although he was far away. Plus we were handed out as much water as we wanted which was quite necessary with that heat! We had to wait for quite some time inside, but thank god we could sit down. The three first parts were quite boring, we were happy when those were over lol

    But then Mika’s show started, it can’t be compared to any of the other ones, it was a completely different dimension. There were clowns everywhere, so many things were going on at the same moment, we couldn’t see everything. It was crazy! It’s hard to remember everything. We kinda missed his appereance on stage, suddenly he was there, wearing an amazing golden-silvery jacket. Relax was amazing as always, the crowd was on fire too, there had been a huge wave before the gig had even started. During Big Girl there were huge inflatable legs on the stage, a big diet coke and a pizza were carried around by the crowd and we got almost squeezed under the diet coke lol there were about 10 big girls in fancy dresses on the stage. During the whole gig animations were played in the background, for example during ring ring there would be the part of a phone where you dial the number etc. and during SiTM a kid was dancing on his piano. Then he played « Rain » which I immediately fell in love with. It was amazing to see how quiet the crowd was, like deadsilent and after the song there was some huge cheering and mika looked so happy, he was smiling and all. Then I just can’t get enough, which is just amazing, the crowd went crazy again. At some point Saranayde was dressed in a huge blue dress and raised towards the ceiling or something. Then there was this Chinese dragon that mad his way through the path between the stage and the crowd. For Lollipop there were the big girls, the clowns, lots of ballons, confetti and all, even more than usually. As encore he sang GK in French in an acoustic version. A piano had raised out of the catwalk right in front of us, so he was playing it just there! We really had a good spot! Only thing that was annoying was that all the photographers kinda blocked our view at that moment lol the crowd went mad, I loved that version of GK. Afterwards he played a different version of relax.

    So we went out to wait and see if this meet and greet thingie was really gonna happen. We literally waited for hours not knowing where to go, wandering around the whole stadium. We saw a few grey vans go out and thought every time okay now he’s gone, but the security guards were still there and they told us indirectly that he was still inside. At 1 :30 am he finally came out and signed some stuff. He kinda went passed me and forgot to sign my ticket (I really must be invisible), but somehow came back, I think he said Hi signed and talked to others. I’ll never understand what I have done to him, that makes him ignore me haha

    So when he was gone, we took a taxi back to Em’s place, after we had looked for one for quite some time. Em’ and avoca went to bed, niki and I went online and we just had to upload Rain, because everybody was begging for it. After some difficulties, partly due to my lack of talent in anything technology related :roftl:, we finally managed to upload it and write a short report of the gig. Next thing you know it was 8 am and Em’ and avoca were already leaving for Arras. Then we finally went to bed.

     

     

    Thanks for your report and the pictures. It was great to read :thumb_yello:

  4. This was just great to see his reaction to the love of the crowd, he was shocked and moved by this which made me giggle. He gave so much of himself to this gig and the crowd appriciated it very much.

     

    I had met him after, i just follow my friends where ever they went LOL. But there wasn't a lot of people in the end and when he came to greet fans it was nearly 2am i think, so there wasn't a very big crowd waiting for him.

     

    You noticed it too! :thumb_yello:

    It made me giggle as well

     

    It's really cool that you met him afterwards!

    I think I have to persuade my family to stay longer (but they aren't as big fans as me) and then hopefully I will

    have more luck next time
