Will write a full report later, but I was incredibly surprised to see the entirety of QTTFT go up in smoke. The show was amazing nonetheless, please don’t get me wrong. This time I was an “angel” and not an “enfant terrible”, so I had a better view of the general atmosphere. And I can tell you all the way up to the angels people LOVED it, but it was not thanks to the setlist, it is thanks to HIM. Mika is a force!

 

He could’ve EASILY kept Jane Birkin and C’est La Vie in my opinion. And I am saying this with a slight pang in my heart, because I really did adore Rain on the Apocalypse Club as it’s my favourite live, but it deserves C’est La Vie of all songs. 

The English adaptation of Bougez was incredible. Just like the French version it pulled people right in, no mistake about that. I can understand why he did that in a non-French speaking country, especially as it’s the first song of the show. It serves to pull people in and set the tone. And it pulls in people even more if it’s a language they understand. Smart move with same energy.
 

Also, there were no songs from MNIMH (there weren’t in the French leg of the tour either, but if he wanted to stick to English for this setlist he could’ve chosen from that album as well). He said he hasn’t been back in Amsterdam for more than 8 years, but he also didn’t show off enough of the songs he has done in the last 8 years. Which we all agree are absolute gems!
 

I loved the show yesterday and I also loved the setlist, because I just love his music. But at the same time it makes me very sad in my fan heart that he is selling himself short by sticking to his first four albums. The new audience who doesn’t know Mika initially know him by the 4 classics (GK, Relax, Lollipop, Big Girls - right?). The 15 other songs of the show are new to them anyway. 
 

I hope he will come back to the Netherlands very soon, much sooner than 8 years. The show was sold out for months, he attracts the audience easily. I hope he will consider having a setlist that will include all of his albums, the Dutch people will love it. I guarantee you that they will adore it. 

Last time he was in the Netherlands was in Utrecht, in February 2020. That‘s much less then 8 years. 😁

I can see my youngest daughter on some of the pics. Reading the comment about ‚the Dutch‘ I hesitate to say she‘s Dutch and fan from the beginning. She‘s holding the M and I golden balloons and a green heart. 

My husband has planned a citytrip to Prague in the weekend Mika has his concert in Amsterdam. So I got a spare ticket. Anyone interested?

Mika, 29th March Amsterdam AFAS 

Happy and sad. Managed to buy tickets for Amsterdam, but Not for Berlin. 😢

I was emotional before I even got to the gig! (and after!)

 

Had a full on crying moment during Happy Ending, and also kept just having odd moments where I just stared at him, I really was just in awe at seeing my idol live after 15 years! 😁

OK, David's mum actually called me yesterday. She didn't really want to talk long, and I didn't want to upset her by asking too much. But she wanted to thank us all for making a contribution to the charity she's chosen, which is St. Benedict Hospice. I tried to tell her how much David had meant to the Mika Fan Club and told her I would send a check straight away. And then she had to hang up. The entire call lasted about a minute, so I didn't get the chance to ask her about flowers.

 

So, thanks to you all, I will be sending a check today. I'll tell you what the total is after I do all the figuring. And if you all think it's OK, I'll send a small arrangement of flowers. I saw a small heart-shaped arrangement of red carnations that I thought might be appropriate.

 

On a separate note, I wanted you all to know that Mika has definitely heard the news and was very upset. He will be doing something privately.

 

 

 

Thank you Deb! And glad to know Mika got the message. And okay with flowers. 

I knew he was very ill. We had planned to meet eachother last year in March. Cancer came between us. That meeting has never taken place. Last time I spoke with him he told me about his illness and I told him about some sad things that were happening in my life. Shortly after that chat he left internet. Worried for several weeks about him. It didn't feel good that he didn't come on line. Then came the message about him having a serious back injury after a fall. Made me worry so much. But oh what a surprise when he reacted on a picture of mine on Instagram. That gave me some hope of him slowly getting better again. Untill last wednesday....

Cried so much. Loved him dearly. He made me feel so special when he came to my birthday party. Just for me. All away from England. 

I'll remember him as the gentle loving person he was to me. 

RIP dear friend.

Oops! Sorry! Still find it hard to find my way here!

And look who have met:

Hi guys, sorry for interrupting here but I need your help:

There was a message on Facebook today from a Dutch guy who had found a iPad from most likely an Italian traveler. Now he's looking for the owner to give it back.

This is the message in English, could one of you please translate this and share this message amongs as many Italians as you possibly can....

This foto is a foto from an iPad, found on the plane (flight FR4535, seat 16A) from Milano to Eindhoven on the 10th of May this year. It's an iPad set on the Italian language. Who knows this women and child?

Could you please translate this message and share it amongs as many Italian people as you can. Maybe we can let the mirracle happen and give this tablet back to it's rightfull owner.

It's a iPad Air with a Logitech cover.

If you know who's iPad it is, please contact Dennis van Jaarsveld on facebook! This is the link of his message: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=970578619648964&set=a.403989136307918.90787.100000905068936&type=1&fref=nf&pnref=story

Really? Does he still have a show though (what do you mean, I never watch tv)

I usually hate Paul de Leeuw though... He's nice with Mika but I don't like him in general :/

 

Thanks for the videos and reports of this gig!

He makes the Sinterklaasshow every year, but besided that not much of Paul de Leeuw anymore. But don't know....he's got his own prodoctioncompany, so it could be easy for him to get airtime....

Love that he is playing Zoolanders barber, but as he has said in the past, he's not an actor, and comedy acting isn't the easiest to master. I hope he does okay.

My thoughts exactly!

I record the last 45 min of the show but it is just the sound because I kept my camera in my pocket... But I started to film at the last song) maybe I could post the record here... i know im not supposed to but it is so sad for everyone around the world who cant hear it :/

Ah... Hiding worked then.

It's an absolute crying shame to be honest. It is such am incredible spectacle. So unique ( in terms of Mika gigs/performances) it's such a shame that it can't be shared.

It is....
