I hope it won't take that long 🤷‍♀️ I am quite confident gigs are not happening, in Italy and Spain either, we just would want to have clear answers more than "2020 is gone" 🤦‍♀️

I also think that if he really wanted, he could have got at least a keyboard, so, if he didn’t, it was his choice 🤷🏻‍♀️

Danna Paola is Mexican, do you think he meant the same thing? 🤔

@mellody yes, XF is on Pay tv. I also would laugh a lot if it would turn out not to be true, but I think it is, since a lot of press seems really confident he is doing it, so I would find it weird! I hoped until last week it was just a rumour, because in a live he mentioned other projects he planned to do (if he was able) in Asia and South America, and he did not mention Italy or tv either (of course he could not say the word “Xfactor” 🤣 before it was official) he could also do both things, it depends on what it is, he could do them before live recordings, or if they are stuff that he could do in few days between one recording and the other 🤣 who knows Of course, I hope he did not mean talent shows in Asia or South America 😂😂😂

I think they can set up XF without audience, or with little audience keeping safe distance (and since it wasn’t easy to attend live recording with the regular audience, I think it will be even less easy this year, so, its not likely to be chance for fans to see Mika In person and maybe meeting him) They are also considering not doing it in Milan but in Rome, we will see how the situation goes on when they will have to do the live recordings 🤷🏻‍♀️ About Mika doing Xfactor again, I get that gigs are not happening this year, so in that period he wouldn’t have toured anyway because of covid, and for him it’s money, which he can re-invest for music and touring of course 😃 In my honest opinion, I’m not really a fan of seeing him (again) doing that show in Italy. Because I am not enthusiast of seeing him being recognized by the main audience as a “tv showman” related to talent shows more than a singer (of course, we got that many dates in Italy because of tv shows, and I’ve been happy, so I know I am sounding really contradicting) Before XF, for TOOL tour 2012/13, we got 3 Italian dates (just in 2012, none in 2013) and then he became really popular doing XF. Now, I think that even without doing tv stuff anymore, we wouldn’t ever return to the 2013 situation, with no Italian date at all (or very few dates), since I think he got a very loyal Italian fanbase, even if not as big and loud as in XF years 2013/14/15. So, for just my opinion, enough is enough 🤣 I would have rather preferred him doing a talent show in another European country and gaining fans also there, since I am confident that Italian fanbase (and French as well) is stuck there, even without Xfactor or any other talent show 🤣 Then, I know it’s just talking about my preferences and my “fanfictions” about what I would see him better doing, without really knowing anything about what he is offered and in which terms! I guess that he was offered to do that in Italy, not in another country, and he accepted for the reasons we said, of course, it’s okay

Yes, the government didn't say anything at the moment. I would think the whole Summer season will be cancelled, and maybe the whole 2020. In the happy path scenario we will have a vaccine at the end of the year, so 2021 will be ok, but at this moment we don't know

No, I was meaning Andy forbidding Mika to get a piano/keyboard to play 😅 also because you can actually play the keyboard with headphones on, so nobody would be bothered

About the keyboard/piano/whatever, maybe he even bought one but it takes time to be shipped 🤣 maybe at the beginning he didn't think he would have needed because we all hoped it wasn't going to last long, but well, it's not what we hoped 🤦‍♀️ I don't want to think that "the other guy" doesn't want him to play and forbids him 🤣

I think that it's not likely that we will be even allowed to leave the country during the Summer 🤷‍♀️

I also wonder why he didn’t buy even a keyboard to play 🤷🏻‍♀️

My guessing is that he’s not in the right mood to do them at the moment 🤷🏻‍♀️ about the connection, he could pre-record them, I think he could find solutions, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ its really challenging for everyone to be in good mood in this situation

Really bad connection 🤣 but very nice interview ❤️ I would love to have IG lives again, who knows if he will ever be in the mood 😊

Of course everyone hopes, but while I was saying "August is still many months away" now it seems really not likely that it will safe to allow gathering 20K people in an arena 🤷‍♀️but even if it was a small gig with just 1000 people 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, it's Italian government which decides, before Mika 🤷‍♀️

it could has been the show production itself to ask him to delete all posts and not tweet about it 🤷‍♀️ of course, if he doesn't tweet anything for 3 days, is a different thing and he has his reasons, but about the show, it could not be his choice 🤷‍♀️

someone worries also after just 1 day, but over the years we have been even something like 1 month (or close) without any tweet 🤷‍♀️

I think people are quite stressed because their own situation, so, if Mika doesn't entertain fans, they overreact easily 🤷‍♀️ Without quarantine I don't think people would worry that much for 2/3 days without any post 🤷‍♀️

I think his connection is becoming quite bad 🤦🏻‍♀️ In the first IG live it was ok, in the second it was ok until he called fans to join, in the third it was quite bad 🤦🏻‍♀️ And the Epcc episode was pre-recorded, so, no problem well of course that’s just my guessing 🤷🏻‍♀️

No, not yet

They talked about an andy's great aunt in the IG live (that they were sharing some spinach pie with her) I don't think he is currently working because of the lockdown 🤷‍♀️

Yes, he needs luck (as anyone else in the world right now)

He said "I need a wolf" since the Italian expression for "good luck" is literally "in the mouth of the wolf" 😅

I’m wondering why they didn’t choose London, because of the not nice situation? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Since the house is surely bigger and he would have a piano 🤔 and closer to Paris But since the bad situation In UK, we can guess it wasn’t a bad choice going to Athens about the “good luck”: Alessandro said “in bocca al lupo” (in the mouth of the wolf) which means “good luck” and Mika said “I need the wolf”

Yes, it’s pre-recorded

About Verona, at the moment the gigs are going on, everyone hopes it will work out but well, who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess he said something like this

I think that if summer festivals are cancelled, it’s too far to know at the moment. We can just wait 🤷🏻‍♀️ And hope 🤦🏻‍♀️
