    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.

    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

    The small show is like at the gigs in the US, in London, Zurich and Spain, without any stage set, just Mika and his musicians. The big one is the one with the flying piano etc.. I don't know how big the venue in Utrecht is, whether they could set up the big stage with the high stage props and the catwalk. I assumed it's too small, but I haven't checked in detail.

    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 :)

    Maybe she's already going to the first 2 gigs and wouldn't mind a 3rd one. :teehee: Or only has time for the 3rd date.

     

    In fact I had been considering this gig, as it's probably the small show in Utrecht and Thursday is the only one of the 3 I could possibly do... but as it's sold out and it'd be complicated for me to organize, I'll pass. I'll see him the following day in Strasbourg, that has to be enough. (And if he does a M&G in Utrecht, I'll kick myself later :aah:)

    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

    The venue has announced the support act for Utrecht: Charlotte (I guess it's this female singer/songwriter from Hull, https://www.iamcharl0tte.com/)


    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!! :)

    in Concert Reviews

    Posted

    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!!

    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? :D

    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?

    The facebook video has no audio in it for me. The performance on Domenica has been uploade on YouTube along with Stardust.

     

     

     

     

    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

    Hmm, I had expected something different when he wrote "live video". It's not live but most of it was recorded before the show. And I don't like how it's cut, it goes either too fast or too slow. It's not bad, but I can't get excited about it either. Well, maybe I have to watch it a few times. :teehee:

     

    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
