Well, let me say;
This was one of the best gigs I've ever been to! Mika was very chatty, and incredible happy! Also proud fit's with it.
The queuing wasn't bad at all, saw a lot of people I have known since 2009 so I was happily surprised! Also saw a couple of people I knew online, and finally got the chance to meet them!
The rain was cold, but the mood overall was very good in the queue.
We got the numbers pretty well organized, so at least 1 till 40 got in line at their places, but getting in was a bit chaotic since everyone started running (even though the venue security told us NOT to ) Didn't look at the merch because I was gonna buy that the day after in Brussels (I have the long sweater now, without the hood, and I LOVE IT<3, it was 50 euros yikes!)
We ran to the stage, first I was first row, but all the way to the left, and after that I decided to go a bit more to the middle and stood 2nd row. Sadly, my mom stayed on the left side with some other friendzies, but I was with the other half of the group on that new spot.
The support act was okay.. Not my cup of tea, singer was kind of bad xD
But when Mika came, BOOM! Energy was flowing E-VERY-WHERE!
Mika was glad to be back in Amsterdam, and the crowd was happy to see him again! Big Girl was a big party and I even had space to jump all night! (I left my bag in front of my feet, so I had to stand back a little which gave me more space in front of me)
Also, because I was 2nd row, Mika looked a lot at the faces that were there, including mine and my friends', and I can't help it, but everytime (when you think) he looks you in the eyes, it just takes my breath away!
Talk about you was a lot of fun as well, singing along was ofcourse easy and he also let the crowd sing some bits here and there.
But then... BOUM BOUM BOUM! The crowd got hot! Haha!
Loved the little translating bit, simply adorable to watch Also recognized the girl from queuing.
Mika shaking his butt made everything even better xD
Grace kelly started off reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllyyyyyy sloooooooooooooooooooow which I loved. Very sexy and indeed Jessica Rabbit'like. And I loved it even more when the crowd finished the chorus. Mika was surprised by that haha! I was also glad that he was still singing Grace Kelly.
remember the first dvd? Where Mika said 'I wonder if I'll ever not sing Grace Kelly at a gig?' The cameraman asked: 'will you?' and Mika giggled 'no!',
Well that! I thought of that at that moment.
and I was glad to finally sing along with all my might, since I couldn't at Paul de Leeuw's recordings.
talking about Paul! It cracked me up when Paul came on stage! How I love how close both of them are! Makes me so glad to see that!
Annnnddd, when they sang 'When will I see you again...?' and Paul said 'In a year?' and Mika responded 'A year?!'
That gave me hope for maybe a christmas version of Paul's show?
Relax and Rain were both a big big party, with lots of jumping and singing, Happy Ending made me cry...
I had to think of Laurel.. And her mom.. Rest in peace..
At the encore, Last Party made me tear up as well, because I realised the moment I was in. I grabbed Navah at 'Wrap your arms around everybody' and we sang both together to the song.
Then Lollipop started! I was happily surprised about that! I was afraid he wasn't going to sing it, but thankfully he did!!
After the gig we waited outside for Mika to come. It was a BIIIIG mess! People were not standing in line, so my mom and a friend started telling everyone to stand in line, or else Mika wasn't going to sign anything and leave like that.
finally people were in line, but turned out, we were waiting at the wrong door!! xD
Then we figured out where Mika would get out, and we waited there, and tahdah! everyone immediatly stood in line!
Mika finally came out in the car (with his two lovely doggies in the back) and he also got out to sign stuff, he didn't speak much, wich I also did expect, and he signed my photo from 2012 in Brussels when I was in the choir
It was an amazing night, and I'm still tired of those 3 days and 2 gigs, and I'm also sick now xD But it was worth it!
