Putting the ethics of the McDonalds gig aside, I think if I participated in this giveaway thinking I would see Mika in some intimate private concert just for Mika fans, and I then found out on the day itself that actually it's going to be in some huge stadium (if I recall correctly McDonalds had a LOT of tickets to give away in their app too) and there's also going to be that other guy, Vacra, performing, I'd be quite surprised 😅

 

It's still a nice opportunity, especially bc those who maybe wish to see Mika but didn't want to directly support McDonalds can now potentially attend it through a backdoor without having to buy a burger and install an app and what not, but why wouldn't Mika's team be transparent about what sort of gig they are giving away places to? I really had to come and check on here, because I thought maybe Bloom just connected the wrong dots or something, but no 🤷🏼‍♀️. 

I said yesterday that it could make sense, 'cause he had a lot of troubles with MC Do event, so I related the of his fan club with the necessity of organising THIS event without writing about that on social medias.

Is Bloom correct that this is the private concert organised by McDonalds which Mika's team is now offering tickets for?

 

It could make sense 😊.

Fingers crossed everybody!!

I really don’t know if I will be able to attend, but I’m thrilled for this opportunity!

From the website:

 

"Entry will be at Door Opening time for given event unless otherwise stated"

 

So you bypass the regular queue and get to enter at the same time as everyone else. That means you don't have to queue all day, if you don't want to.

 
Obviously there will some of us who will queue to be first among the first 😇

I know he keeps saying that, but it still doesn't make any more sense to me. Especially not with the reason he gives, that they were / are very expressive in his family. Big gestures, big drama, standing on the table (or on stage) and shouting out your worries, totally makes sense. But why be mean? Why not just use the same intensity to shout out your love and your happiness? If you take the lyrics of MAEP, with his explanation it makes sense that he gets jealous and says "is there another guy? I'm not on the list anymore, I think it's over". But what, Mika can use harsh words because it was usual in his family, but if Andy does it, he gets called a monster? Maybe there's something that gets lost in translation for me, or Mika forgets to mention a few details that would explain it - which is ok of course, he is already VERY open about this... just if he tries to justify being mean by growing up in a family that often shouted at each other, he can't expect me to follow his argumentation.  Being expressive / emotional and being mean are 2 different things for me.

 He uses the word “méchante”, which means bad, also mean of course, but for the storytelling of the song, I interpreted what he said at Tours, and maybe also in some other venues, that you can be expressive with a song telling about the very sad moment when one lover, in this case not Mika, says I need to leave you now. The badness is in the fact that you remember to the person of the title that: ok now we are together, but I want to tell everybody how much you hurt me when I saw that sad smile in your face. Sort of posthume love revenge, in that sense he feels bad, but he underlines too that a real love song must be cruel.

Tours : Mika en grande forme pour son concert

 

Le Vinci était plein à craquer, mercredi 13 mars 2024, pour accueillir Mika, le petit prince de la pop, le « zébulon ».

Il a lancé le 1^er mars dernier « Apocalypse Tour », une tournée de 17 dates en France, avant de poursuivre à Bruxelles, Londres, Berlin et de terminer à Dublin. Une tournée qui accompagne la sortie de l’album Que ta tête fleurisse toujours (1).

Les Tourangeaux (et bien d’autres) ont eu la chance de le voir ou le revoir (son dernier passage à Tours était en janvier 2020) dans un spectacle haut en couleur, comme l’artiste affectionne.

 

Un Mika en pleine forme

Ils ont eu peur, ces fans, après l’annulation du concert de Brest pour cause de grippe. Mais Mika a retrouvé la forme, son énergie dévorante et sa générosité. Il ne s’est pas ménagé, puisant dans ses ressources physiques pour régaler un public conquis, lui rendant bien.

Un voyage psychédélique

Les 2.000 spectateurs du Vinci ont eu la chance d’accompagner Mika dans un véritable voyage psychédélique, avec des multiples références à Peter Pan ou Alice au pays des merveilles… Même le piano blanc a un plateau en forme de pied.

Au début du concert, le chanteur sort d’une cage à oiseau géante, habillé tout de rouge en déployant tel un ange, d’imposantes ailes, sur un foudroyant Bougez, et l’écran géant, derrière lui, fait défiler des vidéos imaginaires tout au long du spectacle.

 

De « Relax » à « Love Today »

Les spectateurs trouvent le rythme dès le début et comme dans un tourbillon, chauffés à blanc, reprennent avec lui ses titres emblématiques Relax, Elle me dit, Grace Kelly, Big girl, Love Today… ainsi qu’un hommage à sa reine Jane Birkin.

Sans oublier l’émouvant C’est la vie, une pensée lucide sur la vieillesse. Si le corps va vers la terre, la tête et le cœur doivent aller vers le ciel, dit-il.

« Un théâtre élégant ici à Tours »

Tout au long du show Mika, qui a fait son retour comme coach dans la saison 2024 de The Voice, s’exprime dans un Français parfait.

« Nous sommes dans un théâtre élégant ici à Tours… et tout là-haut il y a les anges au paradis », dit-il, en pointant du doigt les spectateurs du fond.

L’espace de deux heures, on oublie l’actualité morose et on se laisse emmener dans un monde féerique et une explosion de couleurs. C’est beau, c’est bon, c’est puissant !

 

(1) Le 1^er décembre 2023 paraissait l’album Que ta tête fleurisse toujours, chanté entièrement en Français. Le titre de l’album est un hommage à sa mère, décédée en février 2021. Cette phrase que lui a soufflée sa mère, son dernier message avant de partir.

Tours: Mika in great shape for his concert

 

The Vinci was full to bursting on Wednesday March 13, 2024, to welcome Mika, the little prince of pop, the “zebulon”.

On March 1, he launched the “Apocalypse Tour”, a 17-date tour in France, before continuing in Brussels, London, Berlin and ending in Dublin. A tour which accompanies the release of the album Let your head always flower (1).

The Tourangeaux (and many others) had the chance to see or see him again (his last visit to Tours was in January 2020) in a colorful show, as the artist likes.

A Mika in great shape

 

They were scared, these fans, after the cancellation of the Brest concert due to flu. But Mika has regained his form, his devouring energy and his generosity. He did not spare himself, drawing on his physical resources to delight a won over audience, making him feel good.

 

A psychedelic journey

 

The 2,000 spectators at Vinci had the chance to accompany Mika on a true psychedelic journey, with multiple references to Peter Pan or Alice in Wonderland... Even the white piano has a top in the shape of a foot.

At the start of the concert, the singer comes out of a giant bird cage, dressed all in red, spreading imposing wings like an angel, on a thunderous Move, and the giant screen, behind him, plays imaginary videos throughout the show.

From “Relax” to “Love Today”

 

The spectators find the rhythm from the start and, as if in a whirlwind, white-hot, take up with him his emblematic titles Relax, Elle me dit, Grace Kelly, Big girl, Love Today... as well as a tribute to his queen Jane Birkin.

Without forgetting the moving C’est la vie, a lucid thought on old age. If the body goes towards the earth, the head and the heart must go towards the sky, he says.

 

“An elegant theater here in Tours”

 

Throughout the show Mika, who returned as a coach in the 2024 season of The Voice, speaks in perfect French.

“We are in an elegant theater here in Tours… and up there are the angels in heaven,” he said, pointing to the spectators at the back.

For two hours, we forget the gloomy news and let ourselves be taken into a magical world and an explosion of colors. It’s beautiful, it’s good, it’s powerful!

(1) On December 1, 2023, the album That Your Head Always Flowers was released, sung entirely in French. The title of the album is a tribute to his mother, who died in February 2021. This sentence that his mother whispered to him, her last message before leaving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Thanks @Kumazzz!! ❤️ I’ll follow you here, I’m looking for GK 🤩🤩🤩, I have my videos, but with my Apple , and above all suddenly I had to stop filming because he came towards me and made a mess with my hair, while singing,  after I was like:

The text on his jacket says "Blue Jeans" on one side and "Love harder" on the other. I wonder if it'll be one of his tour outfits? Probably... and I suppose for this song, because only in this context the "Blue Jeans" makes sense. Not sure though what he means by "love harder" ... something like love (yourself) more? I saw the word "love" at first and then was surprised about the "harder" - does it make sense to English speakers in the context of the song? I suppose it's hard to express the feeling of love in this song in just 2 words, so maybe that's what comes closest and something like "love more" could be misinterpreted as "make love more often", which I'm sure he doesn't mean ... oh dear, even if I think I know English well, such details in certain expressions still confuse me. 😅🙈

For me "Love harder" means: when someone who loves you is the same who makes you fall, don't stop loving. Love harder, don't stop loving just because you fell once.

For those with spare tickets for Berlin, @Jaela suggested to use ticketswap for these, as there's a high demand on that platform for Berlin tickets. On here it seems the supply of Berlin tickets is much higher than the demand (while for tickets for the UK gigs it's the opposite, no need to pay fees on a ticket platform if you have spares for Dublin or London). Just as a suggestion.

Vielen Dank Karin, some friends and I managed to sell Berlin on Ticketswap !

I've deleted your personal data, not sure why you posted that here? I heard from someone that fansale is only available for German addresses, but I don't know, I've never used it.

Thank you Karin and @krysady

Ok, then, I personally will never buy tickets on eventim.de, it's annoying for foreign customers not to have this possibility. 

I relate to Italian friends who had the same problem.

On 2/24/2024 at 2:14 PM, krysady said:

@Valmont69 Not sure if you've read Deb's post, we don't "sell" tickets on MFC, you can say you have a spare one and talk the details on private message 

 

 

About the resale on Eventim, I answered you on the other thread 

Thank you, I edited the post .

Hi, if everyone interested in Berlin, I have one extra ticket, Berlin is sold out on Mika site !!

Did anyone try on My Data (fansale.de)?

I'ma having problems with my billing address, but everything seems fine, if I go to my profile data on Fansale platform.

I'll try to open a claim, if there's an option.

On 11/11/2023 at 8:52 AM, mellody said:

 

Wow, so cool!!  Only fansale tickets available now.

Yeah, wonderful news., a friend of mine told me that she saw something on eventim.

Do you know if it's possible to put tickets on Fan sale? I tried but I don't know how to confirm my Italian address. It's fine on eventim site, but when I switch to Buy and sell tickets for concerts, football and more - fanSALE, it tells me that "The country of your invoice address is not activated. Please change your address data", but even on my FanSale profile all data seem correct. 

Any of fans outside tried to sell Berlin on that platform?

I will post on Extra-Ticket thread, too.

I love your "skatey banana" Myriam! If I could make that an emoji, I would.

 

I do really love the video -- and I love that they included English subtitles. Thank you, Mika!

Yeah, that's why I chose this gif: I hoped that someone of us could make it .

I appreciated the subtitles too, even if I tried to find out on my YT settings if it was something I did on my YT account.

I discovered on the guide that it's a channel option .

I tried and tried to do some screenshots without subtitles , poor thing!

I love more his outfits than the video itself, but ok, I love it, for me it's YES!! 

Now we need a new MIsKAting emoj, don't you think? Skating Bana na na naaaaaaa

So curious about this video, I adore the song, not my fav music, but I like the lyrics and the arrangement.

See you here after 7pm 

Hi everybody,

I have a couple of spare tickets:

- Berlin, April 2nd

- Geneva, March 28th, seated place

1x PLACE ASSISE (CAT 1)
Block: BLE - Bloc E
Reihe: B, Plätze: 57

If anyone is interested, pls DM me.

YO!

Now that we've got the lyrics , it's time to debate about all the small video details (and meanings of course ......) .

 

 

That's made me smile because in French  "avoir le feu aux fesses" means having lot of sex 

 The second meaning is being in a hurry . In this video , it could me a combination of both 

I made a screenshot of this when I saw the video the first time, with the intention to warn my Mika friends the specific day when I ....

Kinda DO NOT DISTURB, it's TODAY!!!

 It's a pride song and a very sweet love declaration too. (To life, to one's lover) This song is so genuine and Mika is not afraid of life anymore as he sings in C'est la vie and encouraging everyone not to be. He also says look at me in both songs that's another similarity

I'm so glad we have MFC and this thread because that song moves me at many levels and I cried joyful tears and stayed awake all night listening to it. and I could talk about it for hours.I do blush when he sings "b♡♡♡♡♡" ("f♡♡♡) but his voice is so beautifully sweet that yes it can be a love word too and he has dared to do it so I admire him for breaking that music bareer. 

yeah: the first time I listened to it, I thought it was a BBB more explicit.

"Quoi qu'ils en pensent des cons - équences" (I heard the word "conséquences" sung separately: des cons  in French means "some a--holes", but maybe it was only me ).

In BBB the same concept was in "et tous les bourgeois du 16e se demandent pourquoi je t'aime".

I first understood " une bulle obèse"  but I think I was just not ready for the truth 

Btw I also understood "defaits cette danse" instead of "tes fesses , elles dansent" 

 

 

 

 

 

no , you were not definitely ready

For the moment I have one feeling:

An erotic poetry. The French language sounds so well in love songs!

And Mika's voice sounds different.

As he said in the past (and I confirm it from my own experience) you sound different while using a different language. Even the body language is changing.

It's the same for me. When I speak English my voice is much lower. When I speak French my voice is softer and higher. 

It was the first thought I had listening to the song: his voice is so soft and bright,  almost feminine! And I love it!!!!

I quote, since the first listening.

The very first day I wrote here that I would write more about this touching Calypso.

You wrote exactly what I felt after the very first time I listened to AC: erotic poetry.

Not because I had in my eyes the two, "sa bouche, son dos", but "ma peau, ta peau, le ciel à flot", singing it in that way, maybe with eyes shut, it's a very sensual image, and pure love at the same time.
