Thanks for sharing your experience!

Think it's time for a choir member to stick up for herself! (This is hrbrox from twitter btw) Bear with, this is gonna be a loooong post!

 

I had an amazing day. I got to meet Mika for the first time, he told me off for looking nervous during our soundcheck!

 

I got there about 3:30, met Rose and a few others (didn't catch names, apologies if it was you) then Rose took me round to the stage door where I met a few more choir members. We got a tiny bit lost trying to find where we were supposed to go! Security was extremely helpful 'left, then left, then through the door.' All the doors we could see were firmly shut and had FIRE EXIT on them. Eventually I saw one open and we went in, stood around awkwardly for about 10 minutes until someone noticed us and took us round to the other choir members. We all got stickers to put on to show we were part of the show XD http://pics.lockerz.com/s/268667101

 

We started getting to know each other, asked what songs we'd auditioned with and were surprised that we'd all done different songs. After about half an hour 3 of Mika's band came up to see us and went through what we were supposed to do. It was really fun but quite quick, they left us to rehearse on our own and try and come up with some dance moves and we were just trying to remember when they'd told us to sing!

 

Then the soundcheck started up downstairs, they spent ages on Popular which was one of ours so we sang along in the right bits then they did Relax, it was really loud so we just abandoned our practise and sang along with that! After a while we shut ourselves in the toilet in an attempt to block it out a bit so we could rehearse Origin of Love. Then I heard Mika at the soundcheck so we all rushed to the gaps in the curtains to try and see him, eventually we walked round to the bar bit and all stood there watching him and singing in our bits for Popular. After a while he spotted us and goes 'come on down' so we were all tripping over each other to get there!

 

We got on stage and they arranged us by height, Mika came over, first thing he said was 'Are any of you actually from England?' I was like 'Yes! Me!' He laughed and goes 'just one?' then I said Lucy was from England too. He went round all of us asking where we were from (and rested his arm on my shoulder when he was pointing to the boys at the back!), didn't ask our names though? I didn't realise that until later. He showed us how far away from the mics we needed to be then went into Popular again so we could practise.

 

Best moment of my life so far, he came over and told me off for holding my hands awkwardly in front of me 'If you look nervous and awkward we all do and it looks crap' He was looking right into my eyes then he kind of pushed my head back/ruffled my hair

 

After a few minutes someone came in with Melachi! I was so distracted I just wanted to jump off stage and give her a cuddle, never mind Mika! After a few minutes Mika noticed her and in a gap between songs went up to the mic and softly called 'Mel?' It was so cute! Her ears pricked up straight away, he was whistling to her and calling her through the mic, he tried to get her to sit but she wasn't having any of that!

 

It was really hard to hear what he was singing from on stage, it was really odd, because of all the speakers and things we could barely hear him and were relying on singing it through ourselves away from the mics until our parts when we leaned in. He showed us a few hand signals to watch for as well.

 

We rehearsed a few more then he told us we could go and to be back by 8:15, this was a bit before 7 I think. We all went back upstairs and kept going with singing, trying to figure out some dance moves. We also got fitted for our choir robes and Mel was backstage so I got to give her a cuddle!

 

At 8:15 we went back down and were given a setlist (I think it's already posted)

We were told we could watch from the side but not in our robes, so had to keep an eye on the setlist and leave during the song before ours.

Then Mika came down and started stretching, he called us over and we went into the little backstage corridor and he led us in a warm up, showed us a few moves, went through Celebrate and then came round to each of us and gave us a high-5!

 

I got a few videos and some pictures from the side of the stage, mostly with Mika's back to me Then it was time for our first song!

 

We all rushed on stage and took our places, I spotted Daisy and Rose straight away, front row centre! Heard Daisy yell my name and waved to her, then straight into Popular. The rest of the gig was a blur of on and off-stage. With the dancing, we were following the 2 who'd been in the choir before, pretty much making it up on the spot.

 

During Origin of love where he undid his shirt, he came over to us and was singing at us, god that was distracting! He's just perfect. And he was all glittery from the sign he took from the front row!

 

At the end when we all lined up at the front, I was on Mika's left hand side, had his arm round me and mine round him! I just about died! So tempting to squeeze his bum

 

When we went off we all went up took off our robes and just sat there, completely dazed. It was amazing to be on stage singing with Mika in front of a sold out show. I thought I was gonna have to leave because my friend in the concert was giving me a lift and I felt guilty making them wait!

 

Went downstairs to give my robe back and chatted to a few of the band members, they were all so lovely about us, I talked to the person who had emailed us asking if there was going to be a picture or anything because I had to leave and they said yes and someone went off to hurry Mika up a bit (They told him I had a train to catch, not really a lie, I did have an hour on the tube before driving home!) So they gathered us all up and took us down for a picture! While they were organising camera's he asked me where I was from and if I had somewhere to stay if I got stuck, I told him I didn't and he said 'You really should've sorted that!'

 

After the pictures he told me to grab my ticket and he would sign it http://pics.lockerz.com/s/268855624 I just remembered as he was signing it to show him my phone case (http://pics.lockerz.com/s/268942405) I had it made and he said it was amazing and thanked me for coming.

 

Then I grabbed my stuff and had to head home

 

So yeah, best day of my life ever.

Thanks for sharing I sooooooo wanted to be part of the choir though im not tall enough to pass for 18 !

i dont think it was his voice that was the problem yeah it was a bit tired but it wasn't bad ! I loved the fact that he did the french song at the start it was very beautiful and i think Mika was risking it a bit but it payed off. What wasnt there was his personality ive been to loads of gigs and normally he makes much more eye contact and interacts more with the audience! I was front row and I dont think the audience helped they overfilled the venue we were packed in like sardines and most of the people on the front row were near fainting point ! Good show but i think proper fans will agree that Heaven in July was far superior !

Does anyone have the link for the interview I cant seem to find it anywhere ?

They are Epic ! I love the third one and the second now if only I didn't have a pre historic iphone ! lol

I get really annoyed to im only fourteen but I have a feeling there wont be a choir for London dont know why but I just do

Welcome !

Why oh why is he sooooooo darn cute !

Im so happy he raised so much !

I dont know whether anyone knows but in the Uk there is a award called jack petchey and i won it last year for helping out in my junior choir in school, anyway there is a huge prize giving and with each person that goes up to receive there awards they play a new song. (There are about 500 people in the audience) There were loads of songs played but in among loads of really popular artists was we are golden, lollipop, and Grace Kelly. May I add the only artist played twice !

Dont know about anyone else but the facebook page just announced there are going to be some new pieces of news for uk fans tomorrow and i am mega excited anyone else ? Does anyone know whether there will be a choir for roundhouse ?

worried now i got an email conformation but the tickets havent arrived :/

I dont think it can be that reliable because it also says that the short film is the music video which it is not

If hw moves to miami i will forever be sad i like living near him in London !

I think there were better songs for the single but i thought the acoustic celebrate was amazing i think it just didn't catch on I thought maybe love you when im drunk ?

May be a small page at the moment but i loveeeeee it ! https://www.facebook.com/isabellarosedesign?ref=stream

good looking forward to the gig so much !

Hi ! Welcome its nice to have someone my age here and i have been a fan from the beginning to !

I love the new band me and Joy had a whole conversation about Mika via twitter the other day really funny !

I got him a dog shaped soap from liberties which is really strange but of course he loves dogs and it was just after he did the cup of coffe interview when he said he washed his hands loads ! and yes im going to roundhouse in december !

Yep after the first roundhouse gig and i was lucky enough to be front row at rock the games i ran on at the end with a birthday present for him

I was seven the first time i heard Mika and completely fell in love with Relax from then on i have been devoted to him ! I was finally old enough to go to a gig in the uk this summer and the obsession has just got bigger especially when i kind of jumped on stage at the end of rock the games !

Hi, have met Mika twice and am quite obsessive about him thats me !
