Reading all those phone calls I'm thinking: This is becoming my favorite thread!

Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics

im sorry but all i can do is this today .... .....must be because i'm "mysterious" according to Mika lol

Wow, he told you that? That's seriously amazing!

Mika said something about that it's hard to perform live for the first time in a new country, but the audience made him relax, something like that. Do you think he's gonna come next year or..?

I really hope so, because I didn't get to meet him, but that was like my biggest wish!

Did you all see that guy who was strangely walking/dancing when Mika divided the crowd for BIOTG? He was like: "A new star is born!"

Could someone tell me who is John? He seem very nice, but who is he?

Here is the translation (http://kultura.delfi.lv/news/entertainment/music/article.php?id=33341945&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=RSS-reader&utm_campaign=RSS-Traffic) in my words:

It's difficult to understand from where to start this crazy show story, which in the start of a new week rocked Arena Riga. Should I write about clowns in pig or horse masks, about brides in electro color dresses marching on the stage, or about a huge doll who was at first dying on the stage and then woke up to be carried by the crowd? Maybe I should tell you about how Mika spoke latvian, but I thought it was italian (here I cannot agree, Mika really did well with speaking in latvian), or about how there was a need to wear skirts with dense foliage to dance just like the super atractive back up singer did?

Even thought it's very easy to get lost in this all Mika's clownery madness, one I know for sure - I have never seen so many happy people at once. I saw very happy ordinary people, happy strange people, the rich people were happy too. Even the politicians were happy. I saw high heel shoes lying on the floor and many bare foot shuffling on the floor of Arena. I also saw kids happy dancing with their mothers. I was also jumping with everyone and my ear were stuffed with the sweet fluffiness of Mika's songs.

What was it really? A stage with canvas decorations, just like in a forgotten theatre, strange trees with pies and teapots hanging in the prongs, a full moon with a persons face. Right next to them a graveyard with sunflowers and a piano from the kingdom of crooked mirrors. And the main hero of our story (it's Mika, of course) is dancing on them as fluently as his fingers run on the keys of the same piano. He jumps and rages, changes his outfits, dresses in rags, tells jokes and shoots his band members with his forefinger... at the end shooting him self to come back happier and crazier. And in the middle of this whole craziness, like it would be some kind of miracle, he sings... with his whole opera school and his famous octavos just like a fish in the water.

"Es gribu, lai jūs visi dejojat," (I want you all to dance) says Mika in latvian. The crowd cheers. Oh yes, of course, we dance and dance like crazy. It's impossible not to dance if you have come here like a morose skeptic but go away infatuated by the pop music and the lively carnival. Mika ir friendly and outgoing, he sings only hits, because he simply has no other songs. He travels with his atractive band - crazy back up singer, a mad drummer and artistic guitar and keyboard experts. Together they not only give a polished musical performance, but also make a mad show.

It would be completely unnecessary to think in which category to put this show in. Stop it, it was a party! Even thought you know it's rehearsed so it would be perfect, you still know you're always welcomed.

It was surprisingly good...! ... just don't say you never eat those "Vecrīga" (this is a cake filled with whipped cream in Latvia, so that you would understand the comparison) cakes, but pick healthy grains. That kind of light whipped cream in the monday evening filled Arena Riga.

Nu stāstiet, kā jums patika koncerts? Kur stāvējāt, vai Miku gaidījāt?

Es vēl joprojām esmu sajūsmā!

I have had four dreams about him.

1. It was when his concert in Riga was pronounced. I dreamed he was dancing in a white suite, with a big white hat, and there were mirrors all around, and the stage was pink and black.

2. I dreamed he was sitting in my living room, on my couch and singing to me and I was laughing. (Oh, I wish that would happen)

3. I dreamed i ran away from this really horrible guy to Mika's house and he had a party there.

4. 2 days ago, before the show I had a dream about the concert, and I didn't see anything. (I'm glad that it turned out differently in real life!!)

This was definietly the greatest concert I have ever been to and ever will! Mika makes such an amazing show! And I was really close to the stage, so that makes everything better.

If there is any chance that Mika reads this: Thank You!

Did anyone actually met him after the show? Got an autograph, talked or something?
