    Dear MFCers,

     

    I managed to record a few videos during the concert :blush-anim-cl: and I'll post them all here for members of the Fan Club only.

     

    The videos are unlisted on Youtube, so, please, do not share them outside MFC or they can end up being deleted :(

     

    I hope you enjoy them. More to come. And some pics.

     

    Best wishes,

     

    Chris

     

     

    Thank you so so so much!!! :huglove::bow:

    So, a quick report before i mix it up with tonight. :bleh:

    I liked yesterday's show more than the first night. Because i knew what to expect. Because i had a better place right in front of mika, where i didn't have to bend my neck in weird angles. Because mika was more relaxed. And the acoustics were better too, dunno if because of my place or because they changed something, or both. At times i could hear mika's voice without the mic, which was very special ofc. :wub2:

     

    Happy ending was great the first night, but totally awesome and perfect yesterday! :fangurl: this has to be my fave performance ever of this song! A few of us made the hand-hearts for little bit of love, and mika saw it and smiled. Hope more will do it tonight! As it's quiet and bothers no one, it should be ok. :naughty:

     

    I realized yesterday what bothers me about these orchestra concerts, why it doesn't feel like mika gigs. We can't participate. We can just sit there, and do nothing but watch and listen. Usually mika says at his gigs that half of the gig is up to the crowd. This is different. Mika and the musicians do the show, and we do nothing. It bothered me so much that the orchestra guy (is that simon leclerc?) even forbid us to clap. Apparently mika noticed my bothered look, because later he explained me the reason without me asking for it. He said it'd distract the musicians.

     

    So after the show we stood inside with the other mfcers when someone said mika would come out the garage by car. So we went outside and stood next to the garage exit. On the wrong side, as it was a one way street, but whatever. :naughty: at some point saskia and me decided it should be possible to wait inside the (public) garage instead of outside, and we went downstairs. But nothing in that garage looked like mika would come out there, also no cars that looked like they were for him. So outside again. To the artist's entrance where we had waited the night before. On the way we met lou, who told us they'd seen a car with black windows drive out the back. We still saw the traces in the snow, but as lou said it was a normal car, it couldn't have been mika with his whole family. Anyway, long story made short, that car exit on the back looked like the place to wait, so that's what we did. In a little snowstorm at -10 degrees, but as i was wearing my ski outfit, only my face was cold.

     

    Luckily saskia made me stay a bit longer than i would have, otherwise i'd have left about 5mins before mika came out! He turned his window down when he saw us, and we chatted for about 2 minutes. He (jokingly) ranted at us for being so crazy to stand outside in that cold&snow, especially i as a mother should be more responsible, etc... lol! It's not as if i had my son with me there in the cold! :aah: anyway, he soon changed to a huge warm smile and said "it's soo good to see you again!" :swoon: he said he saw me at the show right in front of him, and then he explained why the clapping was forbidden. I told him that it was so hard for me just to sit still and asked if maybe we could dance at least for the last song tomorrow... he said it's ok if they have the recording, and then said they were recording everything. I'm not sure if he meant all the shows or just tonight. Saskia thanked him for the cake again.

     

    And of course i was worried about him again, because a few snowflakes were blown in his face, so i thought i have to hurry and not keep him there too long. Although the last time after a similar situation i had sworn to myself not to do this again (worry about him), as he can take care of himself and will let us know when he wants to leave! :doh: aah, whatever, maybe next time! :aah:

     

    Anyway, it was so lovely to have this little chat with him and see that he's still the same sweet guy i've known before all this casting shows and valentino suits time. :wub2:

     

    Aww lovely report! :wub2:

    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. :aah: 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. :aah: 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. :aah: 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.

    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.

    Thank you so so so much Alie!!! :wub2::huglove:
