Too soon for me. Only 3 weeks later and it could have been a possibility. Too bad.

Thanks !

Excellent ! J'espère qu'ils corrigeront le tir. Je trouvais ridicule aussi de mettre les Frero Delavega et Kenji dans les arguments. Ça n'a tellement aucun rapport que j'explosais de rage en lisant l'article. Quelle poubelle !

This review is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't even worth to translate it, it's a trashy article.

Soooo happy to hear those news. And nice to know they'll play it at CKOI

Maybe I'm pessimist, you're right. I don't see how the next album could be different from TOOL if nothing is done to promote it. But I still have faith. Maybe something juste amazing will happen and a BIG hit is gonna put him at the top of the sales. I'm praying every gods in the world but really, I'm not putting my money on the table... Anyway I know the next album will be a hit in Italia and in France, maybe if we're lucky in Quebec. And that's enough to make me happy, but I know a lot of people want more and I really wish the best for them. All I want is Mika gigs for everyone.

Yeah that's not even an option, promotion is a MUST if we don't want the album to be a flop. More than one TV show on tuesday afternoon IMO (it's an example, but you know what I mean, like it's PROMOTION that he needs, not promotion).

There's still hope. TOOL was officially announced less than one month before the release date. But yeah, I don't really think that's gonna happen.

He did not, he couldn't pass the canadian's lines. He's stuck in the USA. Too bad...

Yes the restaurant belongs to Garou ! But he was not there that day. I'm sure an angel will translate it soon.

Wow thank you ! Very interresting !!

My cellphone is a cheap one, I could share you pics but they are horrible. But I'm still looking for a good quality picture from the second night, if you see something. It's for a poster.

I answered in French on an other thread where someone was chocked that she didn't get to go to the M&G. I'll repeat it in English because I think it worth it as I didn't really explain my feeling in my reports after I knew that I missed a M&G. My answer from 2-3 days ago : "I don't know what exactly happened this last night, but I know that Deb was trying very hard every night to get a M&G with Mika for the MFC. Her wish came true on the last nght and it was a surprise, nothing was official anywhere because it WAS a surprise. I'm disappointed too, but we needed to be there a to good moment. I understand you disappointment, I wasn't there too and it's frustrating. Next time will be the good one." I didn't get to talk a lot with you Deb but I have a slight idea how much you are working for us. I heard at the party last Wednesday that you were trying very hard to get a M&G. I wished it would be at one of the gigs I could attend but I'm the unluckiest girl on earth. At first I was a lil bit angry, but never against you: I was angry about me because I though I should've go the every gig to have the best chances. Now I calmed down and I'm saying to myself that I did what I could do. As someone said before, there's always a next time anyway. Now I can look at the vid from that night and my heart melt when I see people I met last week talking to "the Boss". I'm so happy for them. I know Kez you didn't say your words in the way people understood it. I know how important it was for you.

If anyone can find good quality pictures from the second night, I would love to see it ! I'm doing a poster from every gig I went, I found a good quality picture from the first night but nothing for the second one. By good quality I mean something around 2000x1000 px.

Maybe hehe. I always caugh some MFCers on tape. Last time it was Rox's amnesia, now it's you screaming out of nowere. I love to be part of that fanclub.

Hey hi ! I was next to you at the dinner wednesday ! Happy you loved your night. Welcome on the MFC

Keep calm Je ne connais pas les détails de cette dernière soirée, mais je sais que Deb s'est démenée à chaque soir pour tenter d'avoir une rencontre avec Mika pour le fanclub. Son souhait lui a été octroyé le tout dernier soir et ça a été une surprise et rien n'a été annoncé pour la simple raison que ce n'était pas prévu. Je suis déçue aussi, mais il fallait être la au bon moment, personne ne pouvait le prévoir. Je comprends ta déception, je n'étais pas là non plus et oui c'est frustrant. La prochaine fois sera la bonne.

Heey you told me you were going to see me at my seat. You knew which one was mine. I completely forgot to look for you, Mika was all over my head : I remembered when I was going back home.

Thank you mamiam. You are an angel. I was glad to meet you at the dinner. Hope our path will cross again.

You're welcome everybody ! I'm happy if everyone's happy, I'm still trying to get over the fact that I missed the M&G and the encore yesterday.

Second report now ! I'm writing at the time almost everybody I'll talk about are watching the third gig. I'm sad I can't go but I'm finally resting after the gigs. I shouldn't as I still have a lot to do at school but I wanted to write my gig reports. Wednesday was, again, school day. I had to get up at 6 after 5 hours of sleep. It was an exam : 4 hours of laboratory where I needed ALL my focus cuz I had to work on excessively small things. My friends at school are awesome, they put LICM album to play cuz they knew we were goign to those gigs. So I was doing my exam with Mika's song all over my head, from the day before, from the album playing. But still, everything went fine. I had an other class on the afternoon and it ended at 3h30 : earlier than we expected ! We left to Montreal and got finally at the meetup a bit before 5PM. I LOVED the sticker on everybody's shirt. Finally I was able to know exactly who was everybody as I was told so much name tuesday and I couldn't remember 3. I was next to a new fan who knew about the MFC the day before, and BangBangLou (HI if you read this !!!!), with Paola, Valerria and an other nice lady I can't remember your name : I'm sorry ! You were very nice and I know that if I stay in Canada all my life I'll die before seeing Mika as much as you did. Lucky italian ladies. The dinner was awesome : thanks everybody who worked on this to make it happen. I kept my (doily ? not sure it's the good word but that's what google translate told me) and my name tag. The cherry on the cake was... the cake ! I was very surprised to see that cake, it was a piece of pure art. Everybody jumped on his feet to see it closer, real paparazzi for a piece of sugar. It tasted as good as it looked like. Shortly after the cake we left for the gig. That second night was great but not AS MUCH as the other. I said in my other report that I was like hit by a train : the second was more like if I jumped in the train and I was just enjoying every song. It was still very good and Mika was in fire plus he looked more confident. I'm happy I've been there: one night was not enough. I recorded almost every songs (BAD GIRL BAD GIRL I KNOW) but as I was not 100% sure they were going to record one of the gig, I wanted more than memories. I didn't get caugh and my cellphone survived. Kiss me or kill me for doing it, I'm not the only one who used his cellphone on that night. Anyway, the sound is never like the real thing, it was more to let everyone hear the new songs and to understand a bit how the songs we already know sounded with an orchestra. It's youtube videos, please don't spread them all over the internet or they'll erase it. It's all black : no videos of Mika singing or the orchestra itself. Sound only ! The quality is not optimal at all but it's better than nothing. I hope for a proper recording. If it's a DVD i'll buy it for sure. If I can't put them here tell me and I'll remove them. They are not publicly avalailable without link. Toy Boy : Underwater : Boum Boum Boum : Rain : The last party : Karen: sorry, didn't record it Overrated : Any other world : Love you when I'm drunk : Ordinary man : Heroes : Grace Kelly : http://youtu.be/8heK8_RPvUY Over my Shoulder : http://youtu.be/3LvhzghCZks Good Guys : http://youtu.be/hcmYmqTo3ec Make you happy : http://youtu.be/RqfYxtoCQp0 Happy Ending : http://youtu.be/iktA9K8pIuc Origin of love : http://youtu.be/SHCgi2mLzyE Relax : http://youtu.be/-Y8giJw6pQo Elle me dit : http://youtu.be/NetwPuaU5aE Love Today : http://youtu.be/0B7BsIRDHLM I tried to stay but I had to drive 1 hour again and I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open. I hate that I couldn't miss even one day of school for Mika but it's the end of my program and it's just impossible. If the gig were just a few miles further I couldn't go so I'm still lucky. I'm sad I couldn't have an autograph on my Relax single CD. Too bad, next time. With a proper M&G pleeeease. I know Deb tried sooooo hard to get one. It's just that whole orchestra thing that make this not possible.

My report is late cuz I had two CRAZY days !!! Crazy is a positive and negative word: so much travel, almost no sleep, but so much fun ! So here's the report for the first night. Well, i'll start by the start : the morning. I'm a lil canadian student so I had to go to school on the morning, even if I'm seeing MIKA on the evening... Getting up a 7 o'clock when I couldn't sleep a lot cuz of the excitment. That was hard... Went to school and we ended around 3 PM (yes my schedule is wierd). My friend and I waited for my mom as she was coming with us to the gig. We arrived to Montreal earlier than we expected, around 4h15 so we had a lot of time to find the restaurant where we was supposed to eat with a few other MFCers. I didn't really know when everybody was coming so we took a seat at 5h15 but no one was there. I was shaking and looking at the clock every min. I drove my mom and my friend crazy. But it was my first MFC meetup, I was nervous and all as my english is not very awesome and I didnt know what to expect. When everybody came I was seated and my friend and my mom was in the way so I couldn't get up and say hi to everybody. I said hi to everybody but I still have the feeling it was not the best way to meet everyone. I was seated with very nice people, I was happy to finally meet Dee, MK, Kez, Sandy, Kira and a lot of other people I can't name everybody, at that dinner ! Thank you girls for being nice and patient with me as I couldnt understand everything proprely and I had a few trouble with my horrible accent. Then we headed up to the gig and the real excitement started !!! The venue is beautiful. It's big and impressive. I'm a violinist myself so it was cool to see them practice, they are so good. Then they took place and the light went a lil bit down, but just a bit and that surprised me at first but then I realised I was stupid as I know that cuz I'm a musician : they needed to see their music sheets ! The real show began and everything was just perfect. I used the analogy to explain that to people who asked me : it was like I was hit by train. His voice, the orchestra, the songs, the vocals. You need to be there to understand. I couldn't sing a lot as I'm a lil bit sick : a cold that make me cough all the time. During Any Other World I started to cough but I didn't want to disturb everybody but I was dying in my chair, missing air. If I would have cough normaly it would have stopped but as I didn't want to interrupt Mika I cough silently but that didn't work at all. After struggling and coughing silently, I realised I couldn't stop that hell without help, I took a chewing gum my mom gave me and I started to breathe again. Every song is just a perfect treasure. I hope we'll get a proper recording of one of the gig, really. I could say 2942713 words to describe every song but nothing I could say could really explain the feeling. The new songs sound great, I can't wait to hear the whole album. We waited a bit outside the venue but he was not coming out so we got back home as we had to travel 1 hour, it was 11h PM and I had to get up at 6 the next morning. To be continued on the other thread !

My neck is fine thank you. I was in the second row, a little bit on the right side. The night was amazing, he sang SO well it's just... wow ! Now I'm going to sleep and I'll do a real report tomorrow or thursday.
