Marika

Have fun tonight!! And keep me updated, I'm really curious to the area and where the cue/entrance is and how long the cue is. At what time everybody starts waiting there? And is there possibility to go to the toilet or stand on a warm place? At what time you should be there to end up on the front row? :D

Poor Mika enjoying the Italian sun, while tomorrow he'll drive to The Netherlands where the biggest and most feared storm ever will come to land. This will be a week full of storm and rain and bad weather. Hope he will be fine by driving here! And hopefully all fans can still make it to his Dutch concerts, as many flights are canceled.

What time are you all gonna cue? 😜

Oh my... I just see that the lyrics of Ice Cream are 'Ice cream, every bite, all I want is more'. Uhhhh... Why did I sing for almost a year 'Ice cream, MUFFIN PIE, all I want is more' MUFFIN PIE. SERIOUSLY 😵 I never mentioned 'every bite' hahahahahhaa, and now I think huh, what is a muffin pie. Why did I hear that rubbish hahahhaha

Oooooh oké!! Yes I looked up the pictures of the venue in Utrecht and it is really small. I went to Brussels as well (big show), and I was already thinking how the whole set would fit in the Utrecht venue. But then he'll probably do the 'small' show without the extras! Fun to see the differences

What does the small show mean? Does he have a big and a small show? What are the differences haha. And what to expect in Utrecht? 😍 I'm going the third show, but I think I'll add the second show to it!! Twice in a row, you can never have enough Mika in 24 hours hahahahha

Huh???? 😂😂 Who is the one of Utrecht? Wat a coincidence hahaha

In Brussels last saturday Charlotte was the support act as well! It wasn't bad, it was French music but quite good! Better than bad DJs! However, be sure to take ear plugs with you because the Charlotte part was really really loud!!

OOOOOOH guys I am still staying high after this perfect weekend!! I am sóóó happy and needed to think through the whole concert, but now I'm ready to write a review. As mentioned before, I only bought tickets for Utrecht, but a friend of mine received VIP tickets for the Brussels gig from her work. She asked me to join her as she knew I am a reallly really big fan for 12,5 years already! So this whole concert was one big gift. It had been 3,5 years since I last saw MIKA in Liège, this was my second gig. As a VIP I could enter via the VIP entrance, could leave my jacket and could enjoy a walking dinner backstage ánd an open bar. That was all nice, but I was here for MIKA!! I was only accompanied by people from a big financial institution and none of them knew MIKA's new music, only the oldies... (which was frustrating, but I'm used to that unfortunately) I had a great spot in the middle, in the front of the tribune: exact on the height of MIKA's eyes ('oh my god did he see me??'). So the show started!! I was curious to Charlotte as she'll also be the opening act for Utrecht, and she was nice! It was hard and loud but fun and good to listen to, quite relaxing as well. Then the waiting began, 30 minutes waiting for MIKA. And then.... the lights dimmed and his voice started, oooh his voice is so trusted and a safe place for me after all those years. I couldn't understand the whole story in French but I tried and I was touched only by his talking voice. When he came on stage my tears started to run, oooh I adore him and I only felt love and happiness by seeing him after so many years. I was so warm and felt loved, like I was the only one in the whole gig. The stage was beautiful, his voice was perfect and wow what an energy!! The last gig I went to was one night before his gig in London (2016), and I had the feeling he didn't give everything that night because of London the next day. WELL! In Brussels he gave EVERYTHING!! It was the MIKA I dreamed of, he was jumping, smiling, happy, running, dancing like there is no-one else. And because of that, I was jumping and dancing the whole time. As said before, I was with VIPs only knowing the oldies.. I was the only one dancing and jumping the WHOLE concert on my part of the tribune. Even one time a woman behind me said I needed to sit down.. Uhhhh no!! So I went to the stairs and I was jumping and dancing the whole concert on the stairs of my part of the tribune. And I felt supported when MIKA said 'we dim the lights so you can dance whatever you want and the people behind you cannot judge you!'. I looked to the woman behind me and we smiled to each other, it was all good again haha. My most loved moment of the show was during Love Today. I was between lots of older people and banking people in important jobs and everybody just sat the whole concert. But during Love Today I looked around and I saw EVERYBODY sing with a big smile on their face: "doom da da di da di doom da da di da di doom". The most serious people, everybody was singing the doom da da di da di doom part together with MIKA, it made me smile, it gave me joy and warmth and it was magical; i think only he can make everything sing and enjoy the show! It was fun to see the confetti (talked about in the upcoming shows thread), but one confetti cannon ended right in his face (oops), who did that? 😛 The silent acapella part of Happy Ending was perfect, goose bumps everywhere. But please people just be silent when you have to be silent, it took sooooo long before everyone stopped shouting. However, it was magical. I LOVE MIKA SO MUCH! And I respect him a lot, he helped me through my whole teenage life and adult life (since I was 10, now I'm 23), and I can't wait to see him again! My voice is gone, my legs do hurt and my feet really hurt, but he gave me the energy that night to 'danse danse danse' the whole time. I am soooooo happy for days now, I can only sing and dance and smile and I cannot wait for Utrecht in only 2 months! I cried when he came up, and when he left stage I thought "nooo please stay, don't leave!!", but i also thought oooooh Utrecht is coming!!! But then.... After Utrecht we never know when he'll tour again Will there be another album in a few years, another tour? MIKA, when will I see you again (after Utrecht)? I am addicted as well and need to see him, weekly!!

Ooooh! Well I won those tickets so I'm happy with everything, in Utrecht I will jump the hell out of it 😂😂🥳🥳 Tomorrow I'll just enjoy the show. Oooooh I'm soooooo looking forward to it!!!!!

I like the confetti idea!!! I'll bring some colourfull glowsticks with me, which will glow in the dark and you can wear as bracelets! I reaaaaally look forward to the show!! I'll sit on the VIP-part, so I'm curious how a MIKA concert is seated, instead of jumping and dancing hahaha. Or can you also jump and dance there? 😛

As Belgium has three national languages, does any of you know if he'll do his show in French or English? I was in another French speaking city in Belgium three years ago and unfortunately everything was in French, which I didn't understand In France its logical, but in Belgium many people don't speak French.. 😅

Whooooooooo go go go The Netherlands!!! Curious if all three shows will be sold out.. But I'm proud that he doesn't forget us and stays in The Netherlands for a week!!

Ahahahha that would be the very best!! 😍

Whoooooo I look soooo forward to the concert in Utrecht The Netherlands, and counting the days.... But today I received some news from heaven from a Belgian friend of mine, who received free tickets with her work: and she asked me to JOIN AAAAAHHH!!! What a dream job does she have that they give away tickets for MIKA aaaah I'm sooooooo happy!!! So now for me it's not 3 months of waiting anymore, but only 1 month!! And then in 3 months agáin in Utrecht. Ooooh I'm the happiest girl on earth at this moment!! I join the gig in Brussels! First in Liège 3 years ago, now in Brussels, and in Februari in The Netherlands Looking forward to it

By the way, is there a supporting act? And do we already know who the supporting act is?

Can't wait!! 😛 (trying to keep this thread alive hahaha) I was curious if somebody here knows how big the gig is, Tivoli Vredenburg - Ronda? The internet says the capacity is 2000 people, that sounds not really big, so can I prepare for a intimate small gig where you're always in the front? Last show in the HMH had a capacity of 6000 people, so it's 3 times smaller...! I look really forward to a small gig with only people who like him really really really a lot!

Today for the first time I read the lyrics in his booklet, coming with the CD. Even though my English is not that good, I was shocked by the typos and grammatical mistakes! Especially in I went to hell last night. Sometimes it's written as God and sometimes as god. One sentence 'Wwhen your dark and your sad.' Double w in when and constant your instead of you're. This also comes back in platform ballerinas. And in cry a whole sentence was on the wrong place. Did anyone else see this too? Who wrote these lyrics in the booklet of the CD?

Thank you!! I was sooo curious hahaha After listening (and don't understand a word), I like the English version more. However, I like elle me dit more than emily. And I like the French version of staring at the sun more as well. But this Italian version doesn't catch me! But still it's nice to hear him sing in so many languages! 😊 I'm waiting for the magic day he'll sing a song in Dutch hahahahaha

Jaaaaaa bij mij ook!!! Vrijdag 😊 Een week na de release, nou het viel me nog mee haha! Whoeeeee zo blij!!

Yaaaaay I received it today!! So happyyyy

I'm waiting as well! I check my mailbox every day haha. I think it'll be next week....

Hahahha yes thát is definitely true!! 😊

I have the same! And it looks a bit strange that the video is 'live' but the sound is studio. It looks so weird and it doesn't match with each other haha. But I love how Mika moves like he always does, it's a simple but okay'ish video! I really love the song by the way
