Cherisse

wow i havent posted in here for yonks ! anyway it was my son greig`s 9th birthday & i searched for ages looking for the perfect card for him when i noticed one with a dog farting happy birthday which i though was great but to my suprise when i gave him the card this morning he chucked at me & told me it was crap wee bugger

ahahahah so funny! happy belated birthday to him though!!

I came back from Comiegne a few hours ago. After reading of some bitchy comments from people who weren´t there here in this thread which is a gig threat and not a song disussion threat I have to think about if I really want to write my report or if I want to show my vids. I´m really annoyed about all the moaning about everything and some people should think about why they are still here. I can´t understand why they try to destroy our joy we still have here!

Beside the problem at the entrance I had a wonderful day and the gig was a dream. I met so many wonderful people there and I loved every second. The gig was absolutely great. And I love all new songs, they sound fantastic live.

The security was the worst I´ve ever seen.

Thank you to everyone I met there for being so wonderful people.

True, I totally agree with you. I mean, not only destroying your joy to be there, but also taking Mika's joy for granted, because let me tell you, I am 100% sure that this thing that we're able to see now is the result of many years of hard work and dedication coming from him. This is what he's been working at for the past couple of years and now people're moaning that this is not him and this is not what they expected and yadda yadda. This is him, this is him evoluated and this is him doing what he's been wanting to do since forever. I am convinced that if Mika had had the financial and other possibilities to create this back in his first years of music industry, then he would've done that. I am sure of that. What he did back then was also something to be cherished because he put a lot of effort and dedication into it, but this is a dream come true for him and it's not to be taken like this. This is what I think.

I'm glad you had a great time and it was lovely to read your little report, minus the security part of course

He introduced "82 Rue des Martyrs" as "Karen" :wink2:

"Karen" is lovely for the title, but I have to admit I am definitely going to call it "82, Rue des Martyrs". I find it brilliant like that, way more fascinating and catchy than simply "Karen".

Well I think I said it a million times before but this song is totally on my side of the street and I have already listened to these little footages from the Compiegne gig for a trillion times.

However, what I really like about it is that composing manner of his, that he actually used in a couple more songs, Any other world for instance. I'm talking about that beginning, just like a pulse and then violins making their way throughout the song and BANG, the violins are taking over and everything gets a little funkier. I really enjoyed that in 82, Rue des Martyrs. Cannot wait to listen to the studio version though, without any other noises like people screaming and stuff

So far so good though.

PS, I am the only one that thinks "82, Rue des Martyrs" is a way better title than simply "Karen"? I find it incredible fascinating and intriguing that way.

Life of Lollipop Girl is amazing!!!

 

 

We were standing on the left side on the stage and watching Mika from there, it was amazing. Yasmine took pics of us there. When he finished Grace Kelly he came behind where we were, talking with some man and looking gorgeous

then he came beck on the stage and Lollipop begin, we were ready to get on the stage. I was watching are there any cable on the stage because I had feeling I will tipping over if there are some. I asked Marina is she going to be first and she said go Mina first, and I thought that I need to go on the stage and they were screaming: NOOO COME BACK!! I was like what? and Marina told me that she just said I should go first when it's time. Ohh I felt so stupid at the moment and I said to Yasmine: "ooh I am sorry"

She was soo kind and she start laughing and she said: "ooh don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong" and after few seconds she said now and I just go out on stage and start dancing.... (I hope I didn't look so stupid)

And I was on the stage with Mika and the band and my friends, I felt so special. At one second I saw Mika singing and looking at me, I saw his eyes but my face were covered. oooh that was the best moment ( and now I have butterflies in my stomach while I writing this)

That was sooo amazing, the crowed were very big, but I can't understand one thing, I wasn't nervous or something like that I had feeling like I did that many times before!! I don't know why but I think that is cool I felt so relaxed on stage!!!I took my wig of when I saw that all girls are without them. And then was end!!! I stand second next to Mika and that was that!!! WAUUU! I want moreeeee!!!

Then we go to change, and Yasmine asked do we have something to gave Mika to sign for us. I gave her my gift and said: "Can you give that to Mika I made it by my self ?" She said yes thank you and she go to give Mika pics that we want him to sign. We were standing in front of tent waiting for pics with signatures, then some girl came to us and told: "My boss said you need to leave now." We said to her: "We waiting Yasmine to give us signed pics :shun:", and she said:" ooh sorry I didn't know that, ok." and she left. Yasmine came and said that maybe is going to be m&g but later because Mika has some work to do. We thanked her and we left. After that we didn't know where we can get m&g, we went on VIP exit and wait Mika there. We saw iMMa and Cherisse and they came to talk and take pics with us. iMMa said that our banner was so amazing!!! They were standing few minutes and then they left. They are so cool. Few minutes after Mika showed up and when he saw us standing in frond he came, but I couldn't come close to him. m&g was short but amazing...

and that is from me, I hope I didn't bored you with my report,and sorry if you don't understand everything.

 

 

 

p.s. Yasmine told us they will not going to do that long BG and LG with fans and that we have luck to be on stage with Mika.

Ohh sounds amazing, I'm glad you had such a great time!! Love the genuine and still excited feeling in your report!!

I know many of you are kind of "complaining" about Ida's operatic voice, but in some certain passages I honestly think it works beautifully. I mean, she has that ability to control some notes and juggle with them, unlike pop singers do and that sounds beautiful to me. Of course the slightly big contrast between her and Mika's voice is obvious, but Mika has also got a great opera experience and if you ask me, I think he manages to get into that operatic singing mood as well.

Hi !

 

I was in Compiègne yesterday, i think the show was really great (in spite of the craziness of the hour's queue and the crappy organisation of the gig ! It's so dissapointing...) , and i love the news songs !

 

Here's "Karen"

 

Some pics :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Blame it on the wearther" is uploading

These photos are absolutely killer! Thank you for them:wub2:

The I asked - "Can I hug you..?" I didn't think he heard it, but he did, he said "sure" (or of course, something like that) and then HE GAVE ME A HUG !!!!!!!!!!

OHH this just made me giggle, he's such a nice man!! You were so lucky to have him coming and being in such a good mood Even though, I've noticed he always tries to be excessively nice to his fans doesn't matter how tired or busy he is. You were one lucky girl that night, really happy for you!!

I like it

Im not the only one I hope

Definitely not!

Nu stiu daca e adevarat dar numai la noi a fost shirtless? La Balaton n-am vazut pics cu el decat imbracat.si stiu ca a fost fffffff.cald acolo iar la noi frig.Daca e asa,ati avut dreptate fetelor,Mika must love Romania!!!

Haha yes we are blessed

Well, I don't know about many of you guys who think the new songs are pretty plain or overrated with nothing too catchy, but for me they work perfectly. And I really like this thing about Meeks - Even though he has that certain style of his, he manages to come up with different sounds so every single fan of his gets what he/she wants to hear. There're a couple songs of his that I don't like either, but these new ones simply DO IT for me. "Karen" is absolutely beautiful, if you ask me; that variety of beats sounds pretty amazing.

In this white outfit he reminds me of Blackadder the Third. But it's great, cause I really like Hugh in this role.

 

 

 

 

Do you think that Ida did this new Karen song for the album? Hm.. I don't think so. I was just wondering who did it?

I think you mean "Blame it on the weather" because that's how the duet with Ida is called . Well I doubt she is/will be the one on the record, but as far as for the live performance I think she sounds just perfect. I would like her to be on the album, but I don't think it's her who will be recorded with him though.

Just found this video of his duet with Ida!! (Blame it on the weather)

 

ok my battery's almost empty now, will be back tomorrow. ;-)

Thanks for the short but pretty broad report! We look forward to reading more about your experience

 

si sa nu mai zic de duetul cu Ida gives me goosebumps whenever i hear it. e perfecta melodia:wub2:

It's killing me :wub2: I love it so much. Si da, Karen e de asemenea superbaaaaa. Way better than Elle me dit, as spune

just a thought.... I think it wouldn´t be fair if he just release this song in France...

Yes, true, it's such an amazing song, it's worth being released worldwide.

This new song with Ida is so....Mika!

Well , i am not found about "Elle me dit" , i must admit that i have tears on my face : their duo is magic.

Exactly my thoughts.

Oh my God I just listened (still listening actually) to his duet with Ida and I think it's absolutely amazing. God I'm in awe. I don't even care about the recycled title, the music is just amazing and their voices sound sublime together.

I'm sorry but am I the only one who doesn't like his new haircut and the fact that he's wearing rings? Sorry I just wanted to ask you...O.) thanks

He's got rid of them for the Compiegne gig, so maybe it was just some sort of experiment here, in Romania . It's true his hair wasn't in the greatest shape ever at B'estfest, but I kind of like what he did with it now, at Compiegne.

well, i try, but it's quite hard from this recording

 

here are random sentences i picked up & translated

 

she always says she will be a star, she sleeps with a jerk (i'm using the milder of all translation for this word ) & sings other's songs

she lives with her mom 2 streets down from 82 des martyrs

he came by her house & knocked at the door

she told him she doesn't answer to strangers

she sings at the 82 des martyrs

at 50, she still doesn't have money

she sleeps on a rotted mattress & the springs dig into her side

but she is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

 

 

does that help?

Yeah, just have sort of an idea about it! Thanks! And definitely, he seems so much more confident singing this song than Elle me dit. I think this suits him way better than Elle me dit though.

Holy everything, this song is so beautiful I fell in love with it at the first listening. I think this is "Karen", right? I think I heard "Karen dit.." a couple times haha.

OK sunt in transa. I am infatuated to those costumes. Even in low quality photos. *knocked down*

huh? i see a building and some random guys:mf_rosetinted:

Well, he pierced his ear. That's all I see. The rest is pretty blurred. A fost un soc cand l-am vazut cu cercel la Magic Numbers Gig.. but got over it. I think it's cool now

OH MY GAWD, please, imi da si mie cineva un link spre poza cu scena? Caut de 5 minute in cele 80 de pagini ale threadului before gig si nu gasesc

check my Facebook, dear

repede te gasesti tu Alle sa imi dai replica:mf_rosetinted: THAT WAS AN OFFICIAL INTERVIEW,ffs:mf_rosetinted:

I KNOW YOU LOVE ME

actually, a spus intr-un interviu ca nu ii plac etichetele. si ca se culca cu cine vrea, regardless of their gender. si ca daca chiar vrem sa il etichetam, sa il punem la bisexual. acum fiecare cu parerea lui proprie:teehee: eu inca sper ca isi va forma o familie in viitor:wub2:

Exactly. Let's not label. If he doesn't want to be labelled/to label, then who are we to do that?

Same, Golden Circle! Maybe we'll meet there!

I arrive with the special bus at about 14:30 and then I'll have to find Madeline (from MFC) who's also coming, but she came to Bucharest one day earlier (today, that is).

Well, I can't stay here any longer... a 3-hour wandering through Timisoara and a 10-hour-journey are waiting for me

Have fun you two!! And please, do get in the Bon Jovi mood as soon as possible .
