The concert...
I was already pretty exhausted from the first half of the day!! Went home, ate, and took the bus to my friends house! I was so tired and sleepy, and my legs were already hurting from standing around all day!!
I didnt have time to change, but it was alrite as most people were wearing 'normal' clothes anyway.
We got to southampton at 6.45 (later than we had planned) and ended up on the wrong side of the building!! But the dude inside the building directed us to Bloomsbury Ballroom....
We got there and there was already a queue, so coz we were hungry we went and bought sandwiches and hurried back!
At 7.45ish we were let inside the venue to queue up again!! And like people have said, it was a U shaped queue, and unfortunatly we were right in the middle!! SO when the doors opened, we were kinda at the back:mad3:, but we managed to work our way somehow to the frontish! Me and my friend are both really short, but we found a nice place next to Rose and Bex(x?)y (and if ur wondering, we weren't the two girls who pushed in front of them btw... )
Because it was a free gig, there were people who wernt really proper mika fans, and i really wanted to be somewhere where people would know the songs and enjoy it! luckily i had rose n bex(x?)y on my left (and rose was just bouncing away to every song! ) and these girls to my right who seemed to know the lyrics to most of the songs! Dont think they were mfcers though...
Well, I thought Mika performed amazingly well!! He just puts so much energy into it!!! And it kinda maked u wanna jump! lol Somehow, when he came on, my tiredness just dissapeared!!
During one song he said something about something that i didnt quite get....
He described something as 's***', when he was talking about his life (i think) and how hectic it was and it was nice to get back to work again..?? couldnt quite make out what he was saying!!
Anyway, i was singing along to all the songs, and somehow even knew half the lyrics to Dr. John!! The music was so loud, and we were right next to the speakers!!! (so my vids arent that good)
Mika really knows how to 'work the stage'....unfortunately!! lol My camera takes a while to take pics, so when i press the button, and look at the screen mika's already on the other side of the stage!!!
We had eye contact twice!!! I know its not the same as being at the front and touching his hand, but it ment a lot to me!
When it finished they bowed, and went...
But from reading numerous gig reports, i knew he would come back!! :biggrin2:So when the crowd started shouting his name and stamping, he came back and preformed lollipop! But it was planned, coz during the performance huge ballons fell down!
Didnt get to stay for the M&G coz we had to get the tube back...
I cant wait for future Mika gigs!!!!! He is an amazing performer, and sounds great live!!! He puts all his effort into it!! I dont know how he does it!! I was so tired i only woke up at 1pm today!!! Felt my voice going towards the end of the gig, from all the singing and shouting! I really hope il have another chance to meet him properly! And hopefully next time il be able to tell him how amazing he is, and not just stand there grinning like an idot!!
