dcdeb;2432599]Thanks so much for posting these, Tegan! [/b]

I'm sure you don't mean to keep insulting FD, ID3,

but it's sure starting to look that way.

 

Maybe you should have tried the instead of the

smiley, otherwise we'll get the wrong idea...

Oh dear ! Was that the right smilie ?

No, of course I don't, I only insult people who insult others, and Federico wouldn't, would he ? Actually his own post was a fine example of self derision, which I practise a lot and still can appreciate in others. F and I are soulmates, AC ...

And sorry, you've lost me here : 'keep insulting' ? Can you give me one example of an insulting post I have put in the forum re Federico -apart from this one, which you misunderstood ?

Incidentally, he is a big boy, quite capable of defending himself, by doing it you are babying him, which I would find insulting .

Cheers,

Id3

I'm not gonna win this time ... I'm not ever lucky ... and certainly can't be lucky twice

 

Completely impossible

Then ask your lover to be a wee little bit unfaithful, just the once : 'Lucky in games, unlucky in love', is there such a saying in English ?

I saw Jude Law a few months ago, he was walking down the street on his phone to someone and I just smiled at him as he walked past and he waved and mouthed 'hello!' as he went by

He was phoning an agency to find a nanny for his kids and you most rudely interrupted, what else did you expect !

Cheers,

Id3

Yeah, he always looks grumpy this guy, Mr. Charisma he is

In my family, we call those sulky types 'April smiles' .

Cheers,

Id3

..oh, and someone else I saw the day after :

 

 

 

 

I know, completely off-topic, but forgive this one time

Why is this bloke sulking ? Has anybody just insulted him ? Bet you there is no 'Smiling pics thread' on his FC forum ...

But at least HE doesn't shave his chest .

Cheers,

Id3

November is Summer time isnt it? , my brain isnt working

You don't say !

I remember him mentioning in the Video Hits interview he did 2 years ago that he liked INXS...

 

 

They really are great interviews, and as you say, it's because they're so relaxed... Maybe because the interviewers (and Aussies in general) are quite laid back...

I was thinking... sorry, my negative mind at work here, I suppose, and I myself am a huge fan of INXS, but that reminded me of the Princess of Wales talking about baby Prince William luuuving his koala bear, then grinning in triumph at her hubby , during a radio interview.

Let's not forget Sire is an actor, always careful to be pc -and luuuved- more than candid .

Laid back ? Yes, and respectful and, judging from the second interviewer's looks, quite edible too .

Cheers,

Id3

This morning Mika had two different interviews on morning TV.

 

 

He was first on Sunrise, and here is the interview (I'm not sure if it works outside of Australia):

 

Sunrise

 

 

Then, another interview was shown on The Morning Show. This one definitely works outside of Australia (at least in the US, thanks foalbaby14!)

 

The Morning Show

 

 

Stealing some quality time with DDG physiotherapists to post these two beauties ? How very unselfish of you !

They work in France, but both undownloadable .

I noticed a few things...

First, he has taken to wearing hats to hide his balding spot. Clever, all the more so as he looks with a hat on.

He hasn't brought to Oxfam his blue and white striped jacket, the one he was wearing at the Beirut Press Conference, just one year ago. Good for him, being a spendthrift wouldn't lead you nowhere, m'boy !

I still can't see the WAG video as a coming out one but if he gets any fruitier off stage, especially during interviews, they'll soon put him in an orchard ; fresher air than in a closet but definitely colder in winter. THINK, Sire :rolls_eyes: !

Cheers,

Id3

I haven't read a word of this thread yet - I will - but for once I'm going to make an exception and write a report about last friday's gig.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here it is:

 

That good ?

Cheers,

Id3

 

Sept 5th

 

I will have just had an operation.

 

I don't think I would be well enough to travel

Bugger ! So typical of surgeons not to operate because they are getting a nice tan on exotic beaches then go back home and start cutting into people like .

You poor baby ...

Cheers,

Id3

Is there an airport at Blackpool?

So , the guesthouse is fine and cheap , above all for a family room.

I am thinking about because i must be at Paris for Coldplay....

Ah Mika....i am so disturbed..

Lill, if you put 'number ten' as your UK address , JP won't be too pleased .

Cheers,

Id3

I think it said that there is 1500 pairs of tickets to give away.

In which case they intend to fill up the bleeding venue, which looks akwardly shaped from the little I could see ... Anyone who's been there and can give more info ?

Cheers,

Id3

Googled the venue, but couldn't find any decent pics or detailed seating chart or how many people they would accept on that night -the theatre seems to be biggish, 3000 I believe ?

Cheers,

Id3

Mika controlled the crowd like a showbusiness veteran at the iTunes Festival at the Roundhouse in Camden. Rating: * * * * *

 

By Neil McCormick

Published: 7:04PM BST 02 Aug 2009

 

Completely covered in tin foil, the stage resembles an amateur dramatics production of the moon landing. The backdrop is lit up like a rainbow. Cannons fire glitter overhead. Pretty choir girls wear slinky skirts and shiny fairy princess hats and (while they don’t actually appear to do much singing) never stop grinning from one end of the show to the other. The featured backing singers wear silver feather dresses and do little hip-shaking routines. And the star of the show gambols about on top of his piano in glitter boots and white dungarees (with no shirt underneath), dancing with the geeky abandon of Pinocchio shucking off his strings. Watching Mika live is like stumbling into an alternate dimension where the Seventies never ended, Top of the Pops still rules the charts and the stars comport themselves as if life was one big children’s television show.

 

There is a flurry of big personalities in pop music but none come bigger or bolder than Mika. He should, by rights, be incredibly irritating. His stage persona is of a camp, perpetually grinning, buffed-up nerd caught between rampant narcissism and giddy incredulity at his luck as he goes about fulfilling all his childhood pop fantasies. White dungarees were a fashion crime even when they were considered fashionable, and Mika wears them without irony, rather with a kind of gleeful conviction that he has the talent and chutzpah to carry it off. Which he does.

 

The forthcoming follow-up to his five million-selling 2007 debut should be a testing time for Mika, especially given how fickle music audiences have become, yet for his comeback shows he is already behaving like a superstar in waiting. Five new songs slotted so effectively into his set that the crowd were soon singing along as if they were old favourites. Mika’s voice is high and clear and he doesn’t over-use it, happy to let his backing vocalists and the audience carry the tunes for him.

 

For all his relative youth (he is still only 25) he has the crowd-control instincts of a showbusiness veteran, switching instinctively between gushing humility and drama-queen teasing. But it is the sheer pleasure he communicates in performing, his exuberance and flamboyance, that makes it all so infectious. It’s one thing to see his natural audience of women and gay men jumping up and down and singing along with abandon, but by the end even reluctant, arms-folded husbands and boyfriends seem to shed their ambitions and surrender to the force of his choruses.

 

Mika writes monster pop tunes that have such rich emotional complexities gushing under their singalong surface it is almost as if he is daring listeners to call his bluff. These are songs of psycho-sexual drama tarted up with cascading melodies and irresistible hooklines, delivered with the camp showmanship of the Scissor Sisters channelling young Elton and Bowie.

 

At the centre of it all, Mika himself is a one-man glitterball, reflecting and refracting in his own shining light, impossible to pin down.

WOW review ... still I wish they would stop comparing him to other artists ...

Cheers,

Id3

 

Brilliant pics, thank you !

 

Good to see that neither working out like mad nor becoming even thinner has made his Lebanese grandmother's hips and his yummy love handles go away ...

 

Cheers,

 

Id3

Oups! sorry Guy... you know oldlings tend to forget and talk a lot... although we are not talking about things that are too far from the gig subject...

I was referring to the new target audience noticed in the theatre

 

 

Oh, oh well - I don't know what type of relationship you have - not all gay men I know live a promiscuous life or have an "open" relationship - so I rarely assume anything... to each his own - enjoy it ....

 

no am not boasting ... anyhoo... this is the MFC (very PG friendly forum) and this thread is a gig one - so to avoid having Guy shoot me soon I will wish you the best of luck in your future and give you a vistual hug

Right in the teeth !

I know and actually I am a very good boy, but it looks silly for a fairy not to smell out queens, if you see what I mean ?

Anyroad what can a fan do while waiting for Sara to put her videos on utube ? Don't answer me, some very young MFCers do read these threads ... hope they enjoyed the uncensored WAG as much as we did .

Cheers,

Id3

Oh dear! we SHOULD talk

No, we shouldn't... I don't talk with girls who won't lend me their gaydars .

Sorry, Guil, that wasn't , was it ?

Cheers,

Id3

** Reminder **

 

this is a gig thread, let's keep chitchat to a minimum please!

 

thank you![/quote

 

 

Cheers,

 

Id3

next time you're in London we will party the night away..

 

 

 

 

I think next time he should play somewhere in Le marais or soho - THAT WOULD BE A MONUMENTAL gig... especially if he pulled some of those moves in his director's cut WAG...

THAT will insure more friendly men in Q

 

 

Oh dear! I thought you already have a boyfriend...

but hey, my gaydar works almost 100% - I can even detect the in the closet married to a women types

 

if that doesn;t work... I can always introduce you to one of my friends... they didn't nickname me the "the godmother fruit fly" for nothing

 

 

They would love him in Le Marais, but there no club would be big enough for him now.

So what ?

OMG ! You are the King of queens ! You're not boasting, are you ?

Nah, thanks, it's just that a gaydar helps not hitting on fruity guys who turn out to be ramrod straight or, even worse, poof bashers ; my nose is longish, I don't want it to be broken into the bargain ... But it was a sweet offer to make .

Cheers,

Id3

Funny that reminds me of something my friend once said to me, while we were walking in Cardiff one night. A few drunken men were walking ahead of us, and he said, "why do straight men act so camp, when they're drunk?"

He's not wrong!

Sorry back on topic now.

I know !

Cheers,

Id3

You are so funny… need any clues on to how to spot a gay man?

 

Stop giggling, will you !

Gay men can be so manly and straight guys so fruity... how on earth can you tell which way a man sails ?

So you don't want to lend your gaydar to me ?

Cheers,

Id3

There should be a next time..... I remember I was in half despair after Sadlers Wells, thinking we will never experience this atmosphere again because gigs will inevitably get larger and the magic will be gone but the magic was there in non-acoustic setting as well.

I am quite fussy about sound and have high expectations from live gigs but since the spring he has shown he can improve and / or change his shows on a weekly or even daily basis. I keep saying this but only because it truly amazes me. ...Take Toy Boy, for example: we have heard 5 completely different versions of this song from him in the last 4 months, each one beautiful in its own right. What it means is that he is not only capable of re-inventing himself and his songs on a regular basis but is also able to adapt to different stages and settings.. So I am looking forward to bigger gigs, too, next year.

 

I think he is on a different and much higher level than he was a year ago. I am glad this break worked for him or whatever worked for him.....To me, he was reborn in 2009 as a performer.

So far they haven't this year, apart from Latitude, and hopefully he'll realise -with a little help from his friends, family and fans - that he is not a stadium performer .

I have always thought of him as a brilliant performer, even when I didn't get any proof of it, directly or from utubed gigs, during the long periods of time when he didn't set foot on stage.

I have always trusted him, not because I want to, it just comes naturally. Winter is colder than summer in the Northern hemisphere, rap sucks and Sire is a huge performer . The few things I am sure about.

Cheers,

Id3

Does anyone know what Mika thought of the undies being thrown at him?

If they were thrown at him while the TV crew were filming, I would imagine he was not amused .

Cheers,

Id3
