    haha omg lol!!! But they're booked now. In a room with only 600ish people. Hah! These venues are getting smaller :naughty:

     

    though im thinking paul ogrady and jools were a lot less, but do they actually count?

     

    I'm gonna get a heart attack soon if this repeats every time there's a gig:roftl:

    Yeah... smaller venues... Can't wait for a 60 people venue one day but... will I manage to get the tickets?:blink:

    Does anyone know when the pre-sale goes up tomorrow? I don't wanna assume it's 9am and then get there and find out it was 8am.

     

    Why haven't they put anything up to say? That's so stupid. It just says to come back between 16th and 18th of October.

     

    Helpful?

     

    No.

     

    Same question here. At midnight, 8, 9, 10 am? WHEN? :blink:

    R.I.P. Michael Jackson

    I'm going to watch the film but I've detested Sony's policy for a long time now...

    I hope we'll at least get an idea of how great Michael's shows would have been, although I know it's not the finished product he'd wanted us to see.

    I appreciate your input...cos I know when so many emotions are involved, it's REALLY hard to see things clearly. I think you're right; nothing is ever black and white. I guess maybe we have to accept that we'll never truly know what happened, we won't ever know what was going on in his life, and even if we could know, it wouldn't bring him back.

    So thanks for directing me away from that....I was beginning to reconsider anyway, and I'm glad you've helped. I still think there are things that need to be found out, but it's more important to promote his legacy.

    Yes, promoting MJ's legacy is the most important thing now. TBH I think we'll never know the truth... There will always be mysteries, legends, like in the case of Marylin Monroe or Elvis... However, this doesn't really make me feel less disturbed by Michael's death. Especially when I watch his London press conference from last March. He DOES speak and act different. I can't stop asking myself WHY his loving (?) family and friends didn't notice something wasn't right there? I was just an onlooker and to me watching Michael in that state was just terrifying. I seriously could not believe how he was going to do a 50 show comeback.... 25th June has been the saddest day of my life...:tears:

    Blame It On The Girls Video

    I will never understand American market! I was shocked when Mika once mentioned that American radiostations don't play his music because, as one of the radio bosses said, they wouldn't play music of a guy who sings he wants to be like Grace Kelly:shocked:

    The other story that made headlines and I TOTALLY don't understand WHY was Janet Jackson's nipple... I simply don't get how, on one hand, you have a country which is the biggest porn producer in the world, and on the other doesn't want to play artists like Mika:boxed:

    "Touches You" Video....

    i think this video would be good as a court setting, when i first heard it i thought that.

    judge: would the defendant please explain why you keep harrassing this person?

    mika: *sings*

    jury: *gets up and dances*

    judge: order, order!

    victim: :shocked:

    mika: *volts the stand and starts dancing and gets blocked in by police*

    victim: stop! if that's the case?...

    *goes round table and then music... all singing all dancing*

    judge: if i have another case like this again?!

    *end*

     

    Wow! How cool is that! I totally imagine it! :thumb_yello:

    Sounds like a good idea! Venice Beach - mmmmm!!!

    Ok, but I have an idea for the chorus, when he sings I wanna be your brother I wanna be your father too.... sister.... mother..... and he appears dressed up as all these characters, kind of like Eddie Murphy in 'The Nutty Professor':roftl:

    I'm so with you on that one, Gata :naughty:

     

     

     

    :lmfao: SOMEONE GIVE THIS WOMAN A MEDAL :roftl:

    Ok, so I've watched the video again-A few times. And I still think that it looks bad. Of course Mika is gorgeous and so charming, etc, etc, so he can't looke "bad", but in my opinion he could look SO much better. And I don't mean his hairstyle or his outfit, I mean that the camera angles and the whole production of the video could put him in a far more flattering light.

    I don't really mind the dancing (Mika's) that much at all, as it has some charm, but what REALLY bugs me is:

    -At the very start, when he's in the little square with the panels, the way the camera rotates (which is in theory a great idea) is not good because you can see the studio lights above the square. To me, that should remain hidden in order to create the illusion that the "panel square" is all that there is to this reality plane. It looks sloppy that the camera angle is from so far that it allows you to break the illusion

    -Now that Caz pointed out the cane slipping, I can't help but focus on it and I agree: they should have redone that.

     

    -Later on, and throughout the whole video, the fact that when something is "happening" you can still see all the other things that are irrelevant in the background. Like when the girls are dancing in front of the panel and to the sides, you can still see a lot of what's behind them (those massive silver things, the stuff behind them, etc)

     

    -The girs' dancing is SERIOUSLY off. They miss steps, others just get out of synch when they should be in synch, and that thing (sorry I forget the name) where they are meant to make the shape and we see it from above them is just poorly executed as they get the shape totally wrong.

     

    -When they are doing long, sweeping shots of the area you can constantly see those white "studio" marks on the floor, which REALLY puts me off. They should have placed some sort of sheet on the floor in order to cover them, because it just makes the place look like a school gym and like they threw the whole thing all together at the last minute.

     

    -The lighting. There is none, bar the general "neon-ey" type light. I think that they should have used softer lighting and changed the different tones, using some sepia maybe at times, etc...Something to mimic smokiness would have helped as well...Or make some of the shots "nighttime", etc.. Play with light, play with shadow. It's just white, clinical and bland-Oh, and totally not atmospheric.

     

    All these things just make me get a vibe of "not really thought through" and it cheapens the video, making the whole production look cheap and unpolished. I don't believe that this is something that was seeked on purpose, and even in the unlikely case that it was, it just looks poor and sloppy (to me).

    I think that the actual idea, the concept, was great, but somehow it just went terribly wrong and the end product is a disaster. Ok, so not a total disaster, but quite bad.

    It's a shame, really, as it could have been really atmoshperic and "magical" using the era that Mika has in mind and the general "vibe" that he is going for, but it didn't work out IMO.

     

    :shocked: Sara! That's an essay and a really good one! I've just watched the video twice and I'm still over the moon about the very concept and Mika aswe haven't seen him before and the girls' outfits but now I'll take a closer look taking into consideration all you've pointed out. TBH I knew coming to the forum tonight that the new video discussion will already have about 500 posts:naughty: but that's obvious - we're fans, we see all those minute details nobody else does etc. etc. I think 'normal' viewers will look at it differently and they'll notice more positive sides.:blink:

    Uuufff... i've been really bust the last few days but finally watched it! And WOW! I love the beginning! Now I'm wondering if it's Mika's voice in the spoken intro of the song just doing American accent:teehee:

    Love the pink braces and the bowler hat but first of all the girls' costumes - they're amazing! I hope he can incorporate them on his new tour:mf_lustslow:

    Every time Mika does a video it's always a surprise! This is definitely my favourite one. It's just so artistic and dynamic! Really, really well done!!!!:thumb_yello:
