Did anyone receive their copy of the CD from your concert ticket purchase?. I'm still waiting here in Toronto, almost ready to give up. 

 

Edit: I just reread the email, it says delivery up to 15 business days.  I guess it's only been 10.  I won't give up quite yet. 

got my 2 today 😉

Listings from one of the largest music store in Quebec: #6 overall, #2 english music

he often contradicts himself in interviews so I am still inclined to believe tomorrow is about Andy

Oh wait, that part about the hotels - could it mean 7 people in one room? And Mika wants a suite for his own so he can invite party guests?

yes it does, 7 people

Omg I’m so jealous! The second night seem better than the first I saw! Don’t take me wrong Mika is always good and generous but he seems more confortable, like he owns Corona theatre! 

I don’t remember who said that before this gigs he didn't know if he was into Mika like before, but I was in the same mood, and now I just think about the show, watching every single video that fans posted here just to enjoy it once again!

Mika seems to be a very special person not just because of his art of music and signing but a really good human being who gives and consider people around him.

when he’s coming back??!?!?

I saw both shows and liked the second one even more than the first. There was some craziness from Mika and the crowd that made everything just a bit better.

Think he put a lot of people under his spell again with this show 🥰 including me!

I wasn’t sure if I was gonna even queue much for this since in the morning I wasn’t feeling great and even pondered asking if someone wanted to trade a balcony seat for my floor ticket and I’d pay them the difference. But I finally got up and started getting ready around 10:30 or so, then my roommate Yang messaged me that the queue wasn’t long yet so I’m like screw it, I’ve gotta go queue or I’ll regret it! The day was lovely and warmer than the day before and I had a fun time with the Mika fans again, including exploring a pharmacy with Naomi and Rose, and walking to get poutine with Stephanie and Mélanie and just generally chatting with folks. 

Once doors opened Yang got held up getting in so was separated from us then someone pushed in front of her, put otherwise that was the only kerfuffle that I’d heard about.

I got a spot front row again just a tad right of his piano. Over the 4 gigs Kiesza had grown on me & I especially dig Giant In My Heart. During You’re The Best I was filming a little bit and she spotted me, and pointed at me when she sang “you’re the best”. ❤️

Since I’ve more often than not been on the other side of the piano I used this opportunity to take several videos of him playing.

Mika opened with Ice Cream again then Dear Jealousy (still the best song ever!).

/extreme fangurl mode activated/ He knelt down on center stage during Big Girl and I had a clear view of his cheek and his jaw and his throat from the side and all of a sudden I was really struck by how perfect it is. Like obvs I’ve seen him from the side before (actually I had quite an unhealthy obsession with that region for some years!) but I guess it’s been a while since I focused on that specific detail cuz DAYYYYUMMMMM! Ofc I then took like 20 photos as he sang and not a single one does justice to him! I’m serious, like, how can one side of a face be so so striking?! Ofc, the front part isn’t too bad either 😛 /end extreme fangurl mode/

I didn’t film Lollipop but I hope someone got a good video of him as he was singing & playing piano because he was making funny faces and otherwise being adorable.

The set list was the same as the night before, yes Elle Me Dit but no Sanremo or Tomorrow.

A little girl at the left end of the stage had a sign written in French. He went and looked at it, then went back again later and read some more, then a few different times I saw him doing some dancing or smiling or singing for her and he took the sign and put it in his piano. Could anyone read what it said? During Elle Me Dit he pulled her up on stage. Poor girl seemed a bit nervous and in awe but did great. It was so adorable! I hope someone got a video of the amazing moment for her.

He whispered a lot in French at the beginning of Love Today while on the floor. I don’t know what he said but it was sexy af, even before he started humping the floor.

I hadn’t yet filmed the finale yet, Tiny Love/Stay High, so I decided to do that this time, the last time I’ll see him in who knows how long. Of course my phone cut off the video after one & a half “we’re gonna stay HIIIIIIIIIIGH”s cuz it’s memory was too full. Ooh I could’ve smashed my phone right then and there if I hadn’t more important things to do!

We gathered outside afterward in the alley at the back hoping he’d come out to greet us all, and there were many! Again I was nervous he wouldn’t come out and even if he did that I’d get caught too far from him and wouldn’t even be able to say thank you to him. But they lined us up along a wall in a much appreciated fashion and all of a sudden he was out! SUCH RELIEF!!! The security told us only autographs, no pictures!

I used Yang’s phone to film him signing her NPIH magazine edition (in two places!) but it was so dark all you can see is his hand writing thanks to the security guy’s flashlight, then she filmed me (it was too dark to see I think, but the audio is clear) as I told him that I had nothing for him to sign, just a gift for him. OH MY GOD I WAS SO NERVOUS, I’M SURPRISED AN ACTUAL SENTENCE FORMED! He said thank you, then looked at it and once he saw what it was he seemed so happy and said he didn’t have the book yet and told me thank you again, and I’m like THANK YOU and blurted out can I please have a hug even though I don’t think anyone else had really asked for a hug. When he said yes my brain stopped working but my body took over. I remember his arm around me but I can’t recall feeling myself touching him at all. It took 14 gigs and what like 7 meetings with him to finally work up the nerve to ask him for anything other than his scribble. Afterward my heart was still pounding up in throat. Even tho so many of us were there he stopped for everyone, talking to those who could form words and signing things. It was all very orderly and couldn’t have gone much better. He thanked us all and said some lovely stuff to the group which hopefully someone filmed to share. 

He really is the best! I know I say that a lot, but yeah. He is magical, enthralling, gorgeous, talented and all that fun stuff, but he’s also just as kind and generous and thoughtful ❤️ Ugh f*ck me, he’s making me a bit mooshy on the plane just thinking about everything.

 

If I remember correctly, at the beginning of Love Today, he was talking about hearing the heart of the theater 😉

And then... There was yesterday’s show! For the first time, I was standing just in front of him, front of stage. Was eager to see if he would go in the crowd again, which he did, she besides me 😱🎉😁

although songwise, it was the same show, there was an extra craziness about the second one that made it special. The crowd was wild, and kept cheering at the end.

To top the cherry, he met and briefly talked to everyone who was standing in line in the dark back alley behind the venue (line was almost going into the crossing street) and for that, even if I’m just a distant face to him, makes me love him even more. Mika is an amazing and unique performer, but an even more amazing and unique human being. And I’m not the only one saying this 🥰

As I don’t take pics or videos during a gig, I don’t have anything to post...

seeing Mika after a 4-year drought was great. Lots of energy, loved the new songs, would have like more (or at least not the same old stuff) and show was too short.

still, it put me back on a Mika cloud!

Not sure about that... I just think Mika is extremely popular in Montreal. It looks like the balcony is sold out for the 16th too -- just floor/standing tickets left.

In addition to the pre-sale on mikasounds, there was one with Evenko yesterday, there must not have been that many tickets left this morning...

Very interesting interview 😊

It's not a torn, it's a piece of comfort.
 He often wears them on his pants, since he wiggles a lot!

My boys have the same piece of extendible fabric on their baseball referree suit 😉 prevent splitting 🙄

I’ve begin to think he was wearing a magic shirt: white at first then slowly turning green with sweat 😂

Wearing a 4 sheet trefle suit…… he probably has something to ask !!

May be related to the UNHCR ?

He wore that suit at one of his OSM concert... if my memory is right, it was the first night ❤️

he's talented but I don't like his style, he didn't try something new and even florent didn't help him to explore

Completely at the same time Mika has done an incredible work with his team, they surprised me the most and I was 100% with Casanova

He reminds me a lot of another contestant, David, who was in Mika’s team a few years ago... same youth, same style... Mika made him sing totally different style, out of his comfort zone. 

In the end, you don’t grow up and learn if you always stay in your comfort zone.

The final decision :

Mennel's songs  won't be broadcasted ,but the ones of her 2 opponents will be

Her duet will be cut as well ,and her opponent is qualified for the live shows

It was probably the easiest solution, but I don’t find it fair to her opponents in the « final audition »... or is there something I missed?

There was a moment one of the contestants talked with Mika and it seemed significant. I see today they've tweeted about it, can anyone explain what the conversation is about?

 

 

It was one of the contestant who was doing the blind auditions for a second time. Wasn’t picked up two years ago but Mika had said to him at the time that he had everything, just need to continue working hard (he was quite young at the time). So after he was picked up this time, he thanked Mika for giving him that advice.

When did you received the email @Kumazzz?

I got mine a few hours ago

It reached this side of the pond...

http://www.lapresse.ca/arts/television/201802/09/01-5153263-une-candidate-quitte-the-voice-dans-la-controverse.php

nothing new in the article.

I think it’s good that the coaches are staying away from the controversy. They have nothing to do with it, the production should do a better screening of candidates.

I’m curious to see what they are going to do with the pre-taped shows. Some huge work might be needed

Today Mennel had an emergency meeting with the producers of The Voice, they are trying to figure out how to solve the situation : http://www.leparisien.fr/culture-loisirs/tv/the-voice-mennel-sera-t-elle-disqualifiee-06-02-2018-7544970.php

She just wrote a long apology on twitter. Sounds like something production asked her to do. Hopefully she really means it.

quite sure it won’t change anything to people being furious...
