Oh my! That episode hit me right in the feels. I recognized Katie's song as soon as she started singing. It's by one of my faaaaavorite bands, a Welsh band, and it was written after one of the band members (and their best friend) went missing (his car was found by a bridge so many assume he committed suicide). It normally sounds NOTHING like that but very fitting that she sang it after her loss. It would've been a little dream come true if Mika had recognized or something. The last song with the choir had me tearing up at work. It reminded me a little of when Elisa and the Sardinian women's choir and Mika sang "Anninnia Anninna" on SCM.

Me when Mika says he doesn't like cats:

22 songs seems like a good length otherwise we'd be there all night. 1. Bougez (with English lyrics) 2. Tomorrow 3. Cry 4. Elle Me Dit (but with English lyrics he did once in 2011, not Emily) 5. Touches You 6. Overrated (dancey version) 7. No Place in Heaven 8. C'est la Vie 9. One Foot Boy 10. No Time to Leave 11. Origin of Love 12. Good Wife 13. 30 Secondes 14. Tah Dah 15. Overrated (yes, again! slower this time) 16. Happy Ending 17. Dear Jealousy 18. Stardust (dancey like the album) Encore: 1. Promiseland 2. Relax 3. Love Today 4. Passager

Derp! i totally forgot about this one, even though i actually own it xD i double-checked, the other two definitely aren't on discogs.com. TIL you can filter releases by format on discogs.com!

According to discogs.com the others were never released on vinyl. LICM only was released on vinyl a few years ago so I'm hoping the 3 others will eventually be as well.

This thread made me realize that i had put the tour names of a few tours on the spread sheet but not for several so I just fixed that. The only one i wasn't pretty sure about was the Dodgy Holiday tour. When/where did that one really start? In 2011 He wore a shiny red jacket, white shirt & trousers & had the flower curtain background for: July 2 2011 B'estfest Bucharest ROMANIA July 8 2011 Balaton Festival Budapest HUNGARY July 21 2011 Low Cost Festival Benidorm SPAIN He wore the fancy jacket & short pants but DID NOT have the Marie Antoinette set for: July 15 2011 Amnesia Ibiza SPAIN He wore the fancy jacket & short pants & had the Marie Antoinette set for: July 9 2011 Palais Impérial Compiègne FRANCE July 10 2011 Les Ardentes Festival Liege BELGIUM July 13 2011 Theatre de Verdure du Casone Ajaccio CORSICA July 16 2011 Mares Vivas Festival near Oporto PORTUGAL July 23 2011 Paleo Festival Nyon SWITZERLAND August 6 2011 Das Festival Schaffhausen SWITZERLAND August 12 2011 Cala di Volpe Sardinia ITALY September 20 2011 Olympic Hall Seoul SOUTH KOREA this assignment made me very happy i decided to include a representative photo of each gig on the spreadsheet. Also, i love his cream-colored MA outfit and that red jacket & white shirt & trousers look is my fave tour look EVER so i was more than happy to check them all

he had a real chandelier too I think? None of the summer festival dates are part of tours usually and it makes me so annoyed when trying to figure out to refer to them when I’m doing the Mika encyclopedia thing. i do wish he would’ve used that set and costumes for some proper tour dates, but it was a great idea for festivals. Must’ve made his show so memorable compared to the standard festival acts. thanks for explaining the differences Karin. It really helps to hear it from someone who was there. I though another difference was the 1955 concerts started with Ian Mckellen on tv and the band on the couch then Mika in the air as the astronaut, or was there some overlap of that into the Imaginarium shows? I have a spreadsheet with all Mika’s previous concerts linked in the Mikapedia too… although it needs updates with some of the 2023/2024 dates 😬 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1RbF0qnm5veYKqr5P7D_bOGLlMjNedRWya77DJSKZykk/htmlview?pli=1

I too was debating whether or not the L’invit thing counted as first live (for Amour Pirate as well) and was leaning toward it not counting. Like for I See You i didn’t count the first time live as when he performed it in front of a fake mannequin audience for that one tv show.

really wild stuff! Like posting in all the language threads in the wrong language, and post pics of Mika wearing green in the Mika in pink thread, and if we want to really want to go wild and give them practice we can open a bunch of threads for stuff that already has a thread! Why, what’re you thinking of?

Congrats to you both! Let’s all go cause chaos throughout the forum… to give them practice

This was my Monday, it was being extra Monday-y: Tuesday was much better

I wanted to ask this question too but wasn’t sure where They need name tags, …ooh or one of those big sweaters for two like Mika and Lang Lang’s, but with BF and O on it instead of naughty and nice! Thank you for answering @holdingyourdrink

I wrote it and i still refer to it a lot too I'm glad i'm not the only one who uses it, but even i was i'd still probably work on it. I really just want to know all the Mikathings! Thanks for keeping a list! I keep a list too but it's so easy to miss things (especially when he does so many things in languages i don't understand ), so if you want to send me your list (whenever you get a chance, no rush) I'd love to compare.

lol I did the same when I heard GK in a Nebraska Walmart. It seems his music I had been licensed for grocery store use or something. I heard Popular w/ Ariana there too. The stores playing those songs isn’t so shocking, but TAY in the USA? Wow, that one does surprise me!
