    MIKA @ FNAC events + XFactor - Milan - November 29th 2012

    Let's do the only thing we can really do.. Wait and see. :wink2:

     

    In a way, it's only 5 months. Not 5 days unfortunatly, but at least it's not 5 years. MAYBE it'll be not so disgusting, he is very good at surprising us. MAYBE that'll be disgusting and he'll lose fans and credibility in Italia. Does it mean it'll be the same for every country around the world ? I don't think so, I have no idea who are the judge in other countries (and I don't care). Yes he's not going to make new songs and new tours during this... maybe that's why he's touring right now and writing a lot.

     

    I don't think it's the best thing he could do right now but maybe we can try to not dramatise this like it's the end of Mika ? :dunno: You can have your opinion, I just try to lower the tension...

     

    I really hope what he do it, surprise me ever :pray: he never let me down, neither when band members changed, my focus was always Mika.

     

    I don't speak of XFactor :mf_rosetinted: I do not like 'anything' these programs :aah:

    Mikasounds and Twitter updates - Part 11

    Well everyone knows what I think of these kinds of shows, but as regards Mika judging, I think the way things are at the moment, it's the worst thing he could do now.

    How can he go on a show to help new artists, when his own career is in a state of limbo in most places of the world?

    I know he loves being in his own little bubble, and that's all very well, but if he keeps reducing the size of it, he's going to lose fans at a drastic rate. And for someone with his talent it breaks my heart to think that he's reduced to doing this to get his profile back up!

    As far as Jessie J is concerned, she cancelled her 2013 concert schedule to go back on The Voice, which didn't please her fans much at all, so if singers songwriters are giving up their main job to do shows like this, I think it's a complete waste of their real talent to be honest.

     

    I took a huge block of Gouda from Amsterdam to Toronto and back to London and no one bothered me about it. :naughty:

     

    Re: Italy wanting him to do TV shows versus the UK wanting him to do TV shows is besides the point IMO.

     

    After watching him spend a month finally getting back to music I am sad that he would waste what are the prime performing years of his life on what is (in world terms) an obscure TV show.

     

    And if history with France is any indication it will be followed up with mediocre Italian songs, endless huge and boring festivals in Italy, etc., etc. - all huge distractions from making great English albums and touring the world.

     

    Very disappointing.

     

    It would be the most stupid decision of his lifetime to take the judging job.

     

    I totally agree, unfortunately :mf_rosetinted:

    I would've loved to be the first to give a report put I'm heading into the 40+ hours without sleep so it would likely be gibberish now BUT I wanted to be the first to tell how he introduced relax (my fave song)

     

    He started off by telling how well it did by peaking at 47 and then 67 after re-release XD it was inspired by an incident in the tube near his old home, where the police evacuated the train, this being shortly after the London bombing. He was at a loss of how to deal with this threat and these proceedings but instead of merely returning home to watch the news he wrote a song about it as well: Relax.

    Then he played the song. And I made a weird strangled noise. And then teared up.

     

    I think this gig was one for the records indeed. Write more tmrw!

     

    The show was wonderful. I s0000 enjoyed it.

    Had a bird's eye view up in the balcony--like I like.

    MIKA signed my 'Songs For Sorrow' art book afterwards.

    He looked gorgeous in navy blue while greeting fans.

     

    MIKA's 'unplugged' performance has left ME unplugged --

    demolished, actually. My brain has turned to mush.

     

    I'll post my experience summary aka 'report' tomorrow.

     

    To paraphrase Inigo Montoya...

     

    Let me tell you about tonight's show. No, it is too much.

     

    Let me sum up.

     

    :swoon:

     

    :stretcher:

     

    F***ing Amazing.

     

    When Alice says she's demolished... believe me, she's not exaggerating.

     

    I'll be back in a little while when I have some photos, and can form cohesive thoughts.

     

     

    GOD! Looks fantastic :wub2: other EPIC gig :mikalove:

     

    Good rest ladies, thanks for brief report, looking forward for more :thumb_yello:

    Thanks everyone. I don't think I'll be seeing Mika after the show. It's too cold to wait around. But we've got a fantastic spot in the centre near the piano. The venue is great and much cozier than I remember since there are no barriers this time. It promises to be an amazing show!

     

    I will shout out for Overrated if I get a chance :wink2:

     

    Yeah have fun everyone :biggrin2:

     

    I hope you get the chance Chris anyway enjoy the blast :wink2:

     

    I've been tweeting at him about this too, do you think he's listening? :blink:

     

    I want Overrated and Make You Happy next week -- I will see him 3 times, I hope he comes through!

     

    :lmfao:

     

    Considering that Mika thinks I'm Canadian, he may be surprised to find that I'm NOT in the audience tonight! But I think he knows I would always be ready to be his camerawoman, no matter where or when! And if I can get away with it next week... :fisch:

     

    ohhh I love love so much Overrated and Make You Happy :wub2:

     

    Deb I'm trust in you, got it :naughty:

     

     

    Yeah I've asked him many times too but I don't know, maybe the dark lyrics are difficult for him to sing or maybe the high notes he hits in the song are too straining on his voice? Either way, he's a singer, he should be able to sing his songs live so that can't be the reason? If he doesn't like the song I'd be shocked at his lack of good taste in music lol I'd prefer him to do the dance version live rather than acoustically on a piano though hmmm

     

    Me too but since Overrated is amazing in many ways I hope him to do that at some point on this tour :pray:

    Staying up late watching Cloud Atlas and I love it. It's hard to watch but astonishing. Why hasn't this movie made more noise?

     

    On twitter I told to him:

    'Sorry, the Mitchell's novel is great but the movie have some good moments, overall I found the script confused and rushed'

    :teehee:

     

    boring movie :mf_rosetinted:

    Mika in US & Canadian Press - 2013/2014

    Sorry, here the article:

     

    MIKA performed a sold out show at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles to promote his latest album, “The Origin of Love,” Wednesday night.

    In a room full of flamboyant fans, hipsters and Dita Von Teese, MIKA took the stage amidst screams and applause. There was no formal opening act. Instead, tour DJs spun Beach Boys, Motown, Lykke Li and Iconapop tunes while the audience sipped on drinks and danced.

     

    MIKA's light-bulb-galore stage (Neon Tommy/Taylor Johnson).

    The “Origin of Love” show was more intimate than many of MIKA’s previous tours in which he has performed at very large venues. Individual glowing light bulbs were suspended from the ceiling around the stage. The set was minimalistic and basic to say the least. Most of the night, MIKA remained seated at his piano crunching out the notes with passion. “The Boy Who Knew Too Much” sure can play…and sing. As great as his voice may sound in recordings, it is unbelievably smooth live. His vocal range is beyond impressive, as he is able to hit high notes with ease and perfection. There didn’t seem to be one sour note or missed lyric.

    The crowd was made up by people of all ages- a group of three, twelve-year-old female fans were by far the youngest. Most people were in their twenties, though there were some as old as 60 in attendance.

    When attendees were dancing, they were dancing hard. Given the performance of ballads and new songs that have not been performed in North America, it was not the crazy dance party that other set lists might inspire.

    When he stood up and really leaned in and began dancing with the audience, he became more electrified. It would have been great to see more of that interaction, however his presentation style was in keeping with the songs he played.

    Prior to the concert, Neon Tommy Reporters Ashley Riegle and Taylor Johnson interviewed MIKA about the tour, in wich MIKA revealed how he is “Grace Kelly,” “Billy Brown,” and the “Lollipop” Girl, and he brought all those characters to the show Wednesday.

     

     

    MIKA opened with hit song and crowd favorite “Grace Kelly,” from his first album “Life In Cartoon Motion,” which was followed by “Toy Boy” from his sophomore album, “The Boy Who Knew Too Much.”

     

    MIKA at the piano (Neon Tommy/Taylor Johnson).

    The quirky and peppy “Lollipop” from the first album was next and had the crowd snapping along. MIKA then switched back to a tune from his second album with “Blue Eyes,” and back to the first album with “Billy Brown.” He sang every song impeccably, but in the midst of playing songs from the first two albums, the crowd did not get to hear “Happy Ending” or “We Are Golden,” unfortunately. This was likely a great disappointment to the super fans sporting a trio of neon shirts emblazoned with home-made “We Are Golden” messages.

    When it came time for songs off the new album, he began with “Popular Song,” which is a take on the infamous “Popular” from Wicked. On MIKA’s album the song features Priscilla Renea, but the single version of the song features Nickelodeon star, Ariana Grande. Neither of the singers made a guest appearance for the performance, but MIKA had the crowd singing along to every word.

     

     

    MIKA then poked fun at his managers, publisher, and other entourage in the VIP “sitting section,” and said how he was told to just write a “zippy” song that will make him a lot of money, but instead he decided to write “Love You When I’m Drunk,” which he then performed. The song had everyone yelling, “I only love you when I’m drunk!” In other words, it was a blast.

    “The Only Lonely Man,” a new song for the tour, was next, which was a little reminiscent of The Lumineers’ track, “Ho Hey,” with its “heys” and “hos.”

    During Neon Tommy’s interview with him, MIKA indicated that during a portion of his concerts he would take requests from audience members. That didn’t seem to take place at the El Rey show, although he was quite interactive with the audience and called out to some fans in the crowd.

    “Under Water,” “Stuck In the Middle,” and “Elle Me Dit,” the French version of his song, “Emily,” followed. "Under Water" was powerful and borderline exquisite. He performed a song about California and dropped the best line of the night, “California…you’re full of under-dressed billionaires, so far from London…I love you." Incredible.

     

     

     

    MIKA singing "Underwater" beneath a single, swaying light bulb (Neon Tommy/Taylor Johnson).

    MIKA’s performance of “Origin of Love” exuded all the emotion of the meaning behind the title. It felt very fitting to hear this ballad while the US Supreme Court was in the midst of evaluating marriage equality.

    While singing “Big Girl (You Are Beautiful),” he told the “skinny girls” in the audience to “sing it like you mean it!”

    A pretty amazing, fairly unknown song of MIKA’s, “Century Man,” was performed next. The history of this song is somewhat mysterious, though it may have been recorded for a film he is working on.

    MIKA’s live performance of his first single, “Relax, Take It Easy,” showed off his purely awesome voice and its remarkablyhigh range. He finished up the show with “Celebrate,” and other hit song, “Love Today,” in which he got up from the piano and did a little tap dancing. MIKA does not lack in originality nor talent.
