no:crybaby:

And I see you is on...

F*cking sh*t...

wow Neiobi... you need some soap in your dirty mouth

Yeah, I know he's singing, but there's too much on backing tapes. I'm fine with having the choirs on backing tapes and that but when there's him on backing tapes it just makes it feel mega fake.

 

And OMG I SEE YOU. Gaaaaaaaaaaawd. I was NOT expecting the start of that to be what it was. It's SO gorgeous.

I agree with you... 100%

I like how he evolved it from its original demo format to this... lovely...

"I See You" is lovely.... :thumb_yello:

LOL @ romper suit. I had something similar for when it was snowing...when I was 2.

 

I'm really annoyed about the backing tapes cos it makes it feel like he's miming. I mean, I know he's not because he wouldn't, but it just doesn't feel like a live performance. =[

It's the scary mannequins

and it is not totally acoustic.... he is definitely singing live.. but with backup music and vocals...

he is playing "house" on this show... having a blast changing a different outfit for every song...

skeletal red mechanics pullover.... interesting fashion...

the first two songs were great... this album looks like another hit... well done...

I got my Mika inspired tatoo today!

Tatadada!

nice calligraphy... i like it..

on the front page, the first WAG is from ITV i think

It's not my file or link.. don't even know who uploaded it... I hope they don't mind

if they do, please delete the link

I was gonna take your picture when you started speaking lebanese.. but it went so fast my stupid camera was too slow..I got Jemma's head instead Do you want it anyway?

 

 

 

Aah.. you were in front of me.. I was the one making a lot of noise with Racha.. I know of you for over 2 years now and can't believe we didn't actually meet properly..and yet we were so closed I did wonder who you were, but with all the excitement and energy didn't get around to ask. maybe next time eh?

I can't even remember what I told him in Lebanese.. I think he was either taken back or didn't understand a word of what I was saying

either way he nodded back with a polite smile...

I guess any picture would do.. even if it was of Jemma's - I like Jemma ... it's the memory of knowing I was there that counts - I guess

what do you mean making noise!???

there is absolutely no proof that I was even there

Sariflor, I will take you for the meet up for drinks offer

message me on facebook

Thank you Racha... that's me being a fangurl

 

'My Interpretation' of your photos is...

I see... the MFC will NEVER forgive me for that - what do you call it (mishap, blooper, confusion, oldlings-memory-gone-bad) for My Interpretation

I like my new reputation... after-gig-party organizer, song-list-confusion-maker, irrelevant-thread-poster

blue eyes, love your pics.. and am glad I captured your fangurly moment

** Reminder **

 

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

 

thank you!

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

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 longishI don't want it to be broken into the bargain ... But it was a sweet offer to make .

 

Cheers,

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

Thanks Racha. To be honest, to a certain extent I can't really remember the exact details.........I usually have memory loss where conversations with Mika are concerned:shocked:. I do kind of remember him recoiling in horror though:naughty:

 

Yes, I am very happy with the end result.

 

Thank you so much for posting.

 

I am in love with that pic:naughty:

No, no vid I don't think...........and my camera died just at the wrong moment. Lovely to see some stills though.

 

Oh I remember the whole thing very well... I was standing right next to you - and had my camera on ready for pictures and was listening to the whole conversation...

I couldn't take a proper picture of him drawing cause he leaned against the metal rail in an angel that I couldn't see - and I didn't want to push or blind him with my camera flash while he was drawing your tattoo

when you told him your plans he had a very concerned look like someone has just given a huge responisbility - I remember I did tell him "come on you can do it, it's fun" and I do remember someone else also said something to encourage him

He was super concentrating while drawing his signature... he felt quiet responsible...

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

Oh dear! we SHOULD talk

Yeah I am always up for the Racha after party. :

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

And re the Racha afterparty I was also annoyed to miss it but I had to get home as I had absolutely NO energy left and had felt sick all day but I would have loved to be there with everyone.

yes! now we're talking...

we both live now in the same city... no excuses... and I promise you, we will get lost in the "safe" side of the city this time

we partied till quiet late .. and I had to wake up very early the next morning to go to Brighton's pride...

I think I slept like a baby last night...

Yep, the same in Berlin. Perhaps that's why the queue and the audience were quieter.

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

Ok, another video up...I filmed everything so it will take a while before they all come up, so I will just update as I go along. So far I have:

 

 

WAG:

 

 

 

 

Stuck In The Middle (also known as My Interpretation in Silver & Racha land coming up now

lovely videos.. thanks sara

I think it was Laurel and me that were confused .. Silver remembered the correct name of the song

Count me in please I would love to party with you Racha!

YAY!!!!

that's it... am writing down the party guest list

next time everyone plans a sleepover in London - not that many of you will end up sleeping...

May I borrow your gaydar ? Please !

 

Mine has never worked properly and it can lead to most embarrassing situations

Cheers,

Id3

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

I agree, it makes a lot of difference not having ppl screaming nonsense at him etc...and pushing, shoving and stuff.. but I think it was also because Mika was much more relaxed, unlike at the Sadler's Wells gig and from what I can remember of Brixton (not at the after party) he is always rushing.. it's especially clear at the sadler's wells gig cause of one of the videos on youtube.. he specifically said no autographs, just handshakes..until Daz managed to persuade him.. even then he was rushing through the line, until he eases out a bit...

 

..

yea.. I agree with your point... wasn't at the sadler's wells... but if it was half of what brixton was then I can imagine how it was...

next time I meet Mika, can someone please snap a picture of me with him - or a video - or anything.. I have met him 5 times already and have nothing - nada- zilch - zero pictures (just one taken with me in the background - but that doesn't really count) - and one video with my horrible squeaky voice saying am from Lebanon...

don't want him to stop the q or delay the whole meet and greet process - I have total respect why he declined taking a picture with me... but next time a candid video shot would have made me just as happy... that way he is happy not posing for a picture... and I can finally show my friends that I have indeed seen mika...

I just want to say one more thing... I am very happy to have met old MFCers ... get to know and bond with others even more... and met new ones all together...

also, am thankful for Mika's management for dedicating 50 tickets to his hardcore fans...

and of course, to whoever was behind the scenes here arranging, contacting and working on getting the MFC those free tickets...

all the hard work is much appreciated...

now, next time I meet MFCers, you guys better join the after party - mine that is... not Mika's

Attn everyone! I was being ironic with my Mika makes more effort comment.

okaaaay... i get it now

I noticed that in the iTunes videos. Not the gay and friendly part, just the more men part.

I would say 75% of the men were gay 25% with their girlfriends/wives... it's a healthy change to see men in his gigs...

Yeah and you know, there is no danger of dungarees falling off his ass like his trousers do on stage, post braces era.

 

And you can hope as much as you like.....anyway it was probably reported to Mika that London M&Gs were always crap so he made an effort this time. Obviously moaning works. Gotta continue with a successful formula, you know.

To be honest, I don't think it was Mika that made any extra effort - the staff were the same as the rest of the venues - in fact one of the security guys was a little bit too loud giving orders around) ... Mika was simply his usual pleasant self - I think this time around it was the quality of people that were in the M&G

it's always the screaming, the pushing, and asking for more that makes it all annoying.. and there was none of that...

also, I noticed more men in the Q and the audience than the other gigs that I have been to (except in Beirut it was filled with families and people of all age groups and genders)

I think there was a big number of men in the audience - most were gay and friendly

actually the whole meet and greet was soo quiet that Mika was almost there for 5 minutes and spoke to about at least 10 fans before I even noticed he was there... it was as if he almost sneaked on us:naughty:

am glad you're enjoying the pics and videos...

Was this at the end after he'd spoken to everyone? Because it kind of looks like the same chaos I've seen everywhere else to me.

 

Thanks for the pics.

this picture is taken right at the end - after he spoke to everyone, signed the stuff - didn't take a picture with me and almost on his way to the car

the people that you see in the back are actually not talking to him and not trying to push their way in - they are done with their turn and are just watching the last couple of fans get their stuff signed...

I stood in the back and started clicking the camera randomly

This was a civilized meet and greet... nothing compared to Brixton and I think mainly the age group was not waaaaay too young (don't want to start a debate here cause I know there are many reasonable young fans and lots of insane old ones - but relatively this crowd was on the mature side

not the best quality....

but here are some other pics...

Is that yours?

no, it's Kath's... I took pictures of Mika while he was drawing it and then the end result after he was done...

it's all Kath's... I didn't get anything signed...

random pics from the meet and greet

concentrating hard....
