hello, I'm Dee from the US. Welcome to MFC!!!

hello fellow USA-er! Welcome i'm glad you got to experience Mika live, he really is best seen onstage in person

Hello Freja, welcome I’m glad you decided to sign up, just ask if you need anything

Welcome Nina 👋 hopefully Mika will return to Germany again soon!

I took that to mean “no more gifts today”

It's called Testa Spalla i can't watch Eriko's VK video because it wants me to sign in but then blocks me from signing in, but maybe her link will work for you 2016.11.15 Stasera Casa Mika ep-1 Virginia Raffaele 1,2,3

😍 thank you, thank you this is perfect! i knew the band had switched instruments for some show back then, had no idea it was this show i had to make a gif of him watching Simona awkwardly dance cuz he's so adorbs

i'm trying to watch this 2009 video of Mika singing Rain on Quelli Che Il Calcio but it says it's not supported. Does anyone have it? http://www.rai.it/dl/RaiTV/programmi/media/ContentItem-c65322e2-5a17-43ca-bd38-fa90ef30f955.html

I noticed a lot of the XL links to other MFC posts and scans have been lost so i decided to find them and fix them. I also linked to approximately where the MFC comments about that month's column start. Sadly there’s one scan I can’t find anywhere & the XL site doesn't have several of the columns in Italian.

hello there! welcome back whoa that's kinda random, but awesome! i was hoping the album would bring back folks who still ❤️ Mika but just got busy

I too have mixed feelings about him not meeting fans. He doesn't owe us anything, but it's also a special chance for people to tell him something or give him gifts or whatever. He did stop and meet a lot of the waiting fans after the shows in NYC and all of them waiting after the 2nd one in Montreal (i think he stopped for fans at the California and Mexico gigs too?) so maybe he's just not doing m&gs in Europe? Perhaps because there are just so many fans waiting he thinks 'well, if i can't meet them all i better just not meet any'? I guess we'll find out after the Australian shows.

i don't think we do. is this why this song isn't on the comprehensive lyrics list? i hear this: Isn't it enough, isn't it enough just to be wild and free ? Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rush of life, staring at me ! You think you're in love, boy But you don't really know what love is You think you're in love, girl Well honey let me show you where your heart is Lover boy is just illusion to me You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel A pretty boy with a nasty trace A funny boy with an ugly face Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Isn't it enough, isn't it enough just to be sunny and dumb? Aren't you tired of hooking up, sick of breaking up, Oh you fool, you did it for fun You think you're in love, girl But you don't even know what love is You think you're in love, boy Well honey let me show you where your heart is Lover boy is just illusion to me You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel A pretty boy with a nasty trace A funny boy with an ugly face Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Lover boy is just illusion to me You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel A pretty boy with a nasty trace A funny boy with an ugly face Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Lover boy is just illusion to me You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel A pretty boy with a nasty trace A funny boy with an ugly face Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

i found a bunch more pix from this photoshoot on getty images https://www.gettyimages.dk/photos/mika?events=775437006&family=editorial&phrase=mika&sort=newest#license here's my faves ❤️

Yeah, i reread the report thread today. sounds like the security guys were standing down there facing the crowd, stopping anyone down front from taking pics & vids and just being generally dickish. They deserved his TP to the head xD

thank you! a shop was selling it even?! Awesome 😍 i hope some rando just happens upon it & is curious enough to buy it and they end up loving it and then buying all Mika's other stuff and joining MFC

just a venue security guard i think, if i remember right

🎄🎄 DONE IN THE WEEKS OF Aug 16 2019 - Dec 25 2019: added over 45 new entries and extended info to 21 entries (see below), made collages for the new music videos and some other collages, added many new photos and quotes to older entries, added all the new tour dates to the live dates spreadsheet, made pics with all the dates for past tours & linked them, moved info about Mika’s family to his entry, linked posts to the table of contents for easier navigation, updated Mika's entry with a lot of recent stuff and added more quotes and video, watched a ton of Mika videos for… ya know... “research”, updated a bunch of people with credits in the new album, made countless little edits for clarity, added tidbits of info i’d come across in trawling through old MFC posts, i forget what else, etc. NEWLY ADDED ENCYCLOPEDIA ENTRIES Arogundade, Ronke - Attitude - Banwell, Bill - Beauregard - Besame Mucho - Brooklyn Steel - Carancini, Lorenzo - Charlotte (BE) - Charlotte (UK) - Chirico, Francesco - Cielito Lindo - Corine - Cortez, Andy - Danvers, Rosie - Daysy - Dennis, Cathy - Dixson, Paul - Esamipau - Fyfe - Gibson, Dave - Heaven Tour - Il Messaggero - Il Tirreno - Kiesza - Lake Malawi - L'Auberge de L'Ill - L’Histoire De La Vie - London Youth Choir - Maury, Andrew - Metropolis Music - Moore, George - Mouakad, Odette Farah - The 100 Voices Of Gospel - The Origin Tour - Petit Papa Noël - Petrella, Davide - Piccinni, Rosalba - Previa - Ringer, Catherine - Roelants, François - Sanremo (place) - Scheme Engine - Some Voices Choir - Songs For Sorrow Tour - Todd, Charles - Wired Strings - Wrongonyou - YM&U Group NEWLY ADDED ENCYCLOPEDIA EXTENDED INFO ENTRIES Blue - Cry - Danser Entre Hommes - Dear Jealousy - Domani - Freedom! ‘90 - Ice Cream - I'm So Tired... - I Went To Hell Last Night - My Name Is Michael Holbrook - Paloma - Platform Ballerinas - Ready To Call This Love - Sanremo (song) - Savoretti, Jack - Stay High - Tiny Love - Tiny Love Reprise - Tomorrow - Van Tornhout, Wouter - Yoshida, Mitchell UP NEXT: my to do list includes somehow changing up the ARTWORK line for all the albums and singles, adding more quotes especially about/by the guests on his TV show, linking to more photos and videos (especially the older entries), more researching in old interviews and videos and threads, adding more bits of bio & other info, listing all the songs that he's credited with writing that we barely know anything about, fixing links to older lyric threads because when MFC moved and they got messed up, and everything more For some time now I’ve been aiming to my major updates around certain dates. Gonna try to get them up quarterly around Mika’s birthday in mid-August, Christmas in late December, the anniversary of when i started this thing in late March, and my Mikaversary in late June.... we'll see if that actually happens

it's for the Mika encyclopedia. i ordered it from amazon like 5 mins after i posted

ugh fine don't answer my question. i'll just order it and find out for myself. thanks for not answering, seriously. i've been looking for a good reason to order this besides "pretty, do want!"

but we don't know what he's wearing on the bottom half

Yes she is Audrey, cousin of Mika, lollipop girl/WAG screamer, sister of loud talker Austin. I was researching her for the Mika Encyclopedia just a couple days ago and i said to myself "wow, what a glow up she's had!". Would you believe she recently graduated from college?!

yeah there are, but don't worry, a lot of the picture links are broken now

Seems like a great idea to leave your mouth available for singing instead of bubble blowing but i worry anything resembling a gun would get confiscated by security the gif of Mika shirtless in my signature. is it not showing up for you?

He vomited offstage I think, then came back and finished the show. The injury happened when he was jumping during Love Today in LA (right?) in 2009 but I don’t recall a vid where he mentioned exactly when it was happening. maybe search for vids of that song to see the moments it might’ve happened? EDIT: Looks like maybe it's around 6:59 in this video? When he starts hopping more than jumping

oh no, the gif in my signature is only for ages 13 and up
