I´m not jumping around. it might be good for his budget, I don´t doubt that, but he is again postponing his music in order to some side projects. I don´t know the appealing that X Factor has in Italy. Its homologue in Spain is pure **** (IMO) and I wouldn´t like Mika to be here as a judge. Sadly, maybe he has his reasons to do that. He hasn´t reached the sells he expected with his third album, I guess... maybe he thinks he won´t become global and decided to take this projects to earn a better living For sure there´s something that will suffer at this point: his music. I don´t think he can cope with so many side projects (he is at the moment recording an ad for a Spanish beer, and will be at a showcase to launch his own clothing line... WTF?) and a new album. If as he said, he is also writing music for a film and stuff... well... who knows... Maybe he decided to not focus only in music. He has a creative mind and maybe he decided to expand it in some other ways than just writing music. I dunno... I´ll wait and see what happens

How funny... this is not a gig, people don´t need to come queue early and stuff... but things don´t change, huh? Same people are doing the same as always

Mika has been spotted already in Barcelona.

Welcome to the weirdest and craziest world ever no, seriously... run!!! LOL

Oh God...

How amazing the reports sound!! I´m happy for all of you! And having Kristin there singing with him must have been shocking! What a great idea!

I´m so happy for all my french Canadian friends! It´s always wonderful to be at one of those gigs where he sings a new song, huh? I´m glad you all have a nice and fangurl day

Amazing report Christine. Im happy you had a great time despite the **** sound

LOL Blame it on Mika´s FB. They changed the date to 7th and now they´ve changed it to the 8th again... Much better if it´s on a Saturday, thank God.

May any mod change the date? It seems it´s going to happen on June 7th instead of 8th

Any news on this venue? Link doesn´t work for me. Are under 18 allowed in?

"I am extremely proud of it," he said. "America is the only place where I am embraced for [my diversity]. Where else am I going to feel [at] home?" Oh Mika.... He feels at home in every country he visits... I remember him saying he loathed US God, this guy is clever...

Oh thank you very much!! I´m not brave, just suicidal

I don´t like the song and the lyrics look so not Mika-ish.. Maybe I´ll get used to it if he releases it as a single eventually... but at the moment not my cup of tea.

Thank you very much. Cleverer sounds odd to me too. I think I´ll use "more clever" from now on. Thanks! No, I don´t have any homework... I don´t know how to explain it.. I´m like a freelance, I´m not in any course, I´m preparing it on my own and will try and pass the exam by myself. Most likely I will fail but I wanted to try in order to know how it was. There are 4 exams: writing, listening, monologue and dialogue. Everybody says the listening is the hardest. But I kind of get blocked when it comes to speak to someone, so if that someone is a teacher who is going to evaluate you, I bet I´ll be speechless, with this face and the man will kick me off the room after a couple of minutes

Guys... More clever, or cleverer? I´ve seen both...

Yes, it´s totally like that! It´s like a tough struggle inside you, realising that since you are all rational and clever, no f*cking way are you going to follow that doctrine, but then, you have all your environment, all your family and friends, and all your past live linked to something that has finally grown up inside of you and you cannot get rid of it that easily. I think Mika totally disagrees on what church says about gays and stuff but then he was all excited about the new Pope... LOL weird I think it could be for him something like it means for me. It´s just a part of my past, and even if I don´t go to churchs, some things that religion teaches are good, and we all try to be good to others and stuff. I mean, the good things that religion teaches, are good. The hate and intolerance are not. But then again, even if you try to not have anything to do with church,but your family is catholic, sooner or later you end up in a church, going to a baptism, a first communion, a wedding... For us catholics (you see? I´m now considering a catholic myself...pffff #hopeless) it´s a part of our lives. On the other hand, churchs are really pretty. The structure and stuff, I mean.

L.M.F.A.O.!!!!!! Best explanation EVER!! I understand it. Give in it´s more like in a cute way, or even "surrender" and give up it´s more like "Oh f*ck, I can´t get it" LOOOL Thank you very much!

Nothing new... there´s no worth translating... He will be performing between 7 and 9 of June. That´s all.

Please,guys... any remarkable difference between "give in" and "give up"?

I think all this talking about religion is so difficult to understand by people who weren´t raised in a catholic family. I think it´s the same we all once argued about: Russia and their thoughts about homosexuality. Same way the rest of Europe or even the rest of the World can´t understand how is it possible that in that country they are so close-minded yet, maybe we can´t understand how a catholic education works in someone. In my case I´m totally out of church now. But still, my son had baptism when he was born.. it was like... "I know it´s stupid, and I know it´s not for his good, but... let´s baptise him". I can´t explain this. Of course he is not going to take his first communion EVER if it depends on me. But somehow, I was raised in a roman catholic city, I studied religion as a subject in my secular school (can you explain this?) untill I was 10. Right after my first communion (I kinda was forced to take it) I decided not to study religion anymore. Only me and another girl weren´t studying that. There weren´t alternative classes for us or anything by those years (now kids are studying religion or ethics depending on their parents choice and they are separated to study those subjects) so we were sent to the playground whilst the rest of our mates were studying. Growing up in such an environment makes you "feel" you are a part of that. Why if I decided at the age of 10 that church sucked made my son be baptised? I have no way to explain this. I simply don´t understand why I had the urgency of making him be a part of a church that I loathe. It´s irrational, and I know it, but what can I do? I guess Mika feels a bit like that too. In fact if we forget about the church, all what that first politician called Jesus said was very good: be good to each other, don´t kill, share what you have etc. I think we all who were raised in a catholic country mess up "ethics" with "religion". Shame.

I perfect understand the feeling of all you Americans these days. I can´t imagine how it would be here if he only came to my country every 4 years Since I started going to gigs there hasn´t been a single year I havent seen him without needing to take a plane. Every year he comes to Spain and Portugal so I´ve decided I won´t travel far away to see him. I´ll wait patiently for him to come to me Christine, your feeling must be the same I had when I learned lots of French fans were coming to the Spanish date this summer. I was like "For real?? you monopolize Mika in your country and yet need to come here as well?" but well... if they pay their ticket they have the same right of doing it that I have of going to Portugal, so... But yes, I totally understand you. I wouldn´t (not even in a million years) take a plane to go to US to see him performing. And if that Century Man song leaks, ok. If it doesn´t... ok as well. I´ll survive. Would I like to see an intimate gig? Of course, I´m a fan, Jesus! But I consider myself super lucky for living in Europe even if I´m living in the South West of Europe we are mega lucky when it comes to gigs.

Five And you forgot about "I have a dog called Gertrude"
