Mika to be a judge @ X Factor Italia 2014 !

I had to share this. Thanks to Lucrezia -
If anyone is still interested, here’s my report. Before talking about the actual gig, I’d like to start by explaining why this trip had a special meaning to me. What brought me to it was a resolution I made last year as a result of some major happenings in my life. I promised to myself back then to step out of my comfort zone more often and stop running away from the things I fear -yeah, I bet you know who inspired me- and instead take advantage of these fears to grow up and become closer to the person I want to be. On this note, I loved what Nina wrote: "life is more adventurous if we tolerate some discomfort and sometimes it's just worth to pay the price". I think it’s absolutely true and I really can say that thanks to the risks I’ve taken and despite everything, now I’m happier than I was two years ago. Everytime an opportunity comes up, what I do now is asking myself “Why not?”. If I can't answer this question, I'll go for it. So this year, for example, I made new friends by daring to be myself in spite of my fear of being rejected. I joined the MFC community, in order to learn not to be constantly frightened by speaking my mind in front of people (I’m still working on it, but I feel I’ve taken a few steps forward). I decided to take a trip to Naples, even though the huge crowd and the idea of speaking to lots of new people scared me. This eventually turned out to be the right decision, because I had the time of my life there and I even feel a little braver now. Regarding the city, this was the first time for me in Naples and I found it incredibly beautiful. Thank you so much to Eugenio for being the perfect host to us! I found the bad reputation of the city really exaggerated. It’s true that we only saw the city centre and sure there are some dangerous areas, just as in any other big city though. I would have liked to visit many more places, but unfortunately duty called me back home soon. About the concert, I’m sure you already know every little detail, so I’m just going to try and add my personal vision to the picture, hoping not to sound too repetitive. Of course the hardest part was standing for 15 hours in a row under the sun, enduring the constant pushing (extremely rude people), not being able to move, eat or drink. Thank God I was surrounded by nice MFCers and we took care of each other all day long. Seriously, I couldn’t have made it without them. About an hour before Mika arrived on stage, all the fatigue gradually began to fade and excitement took its place, until finally the wait was over, he walked on stage and I forgot everything else. The following hour and a half passed in a blink of an eye, so intense and full of strong emotions, from the adrenaline explosions in some pieces to the deep feeling in other ones. I must say I didn’t like the duet with Chiara in TOOL. It’s one of my favourite songs and it was a shame to hear its meaning in some way subverted -in my opinion she singing it didn’t make much sense. Moreover, even though she has a good voice, she can’t hold the stage and her performance was very weak. Ok, I understand it might not be easy to sing those words right into his face, but still. I was expecting to hear this song so much. We were also hoping for new songs, oh well. Beside that, the audience’s behaviour was very annoying. They screamed so loudly all the time that it was hard to hear quite often (also, the audio was a bit poor). And the fact they kept yelling histerically “I love you” and “You’re so handsome” really got on my nerves. Nevertheless, I was simply grateful to finally attend a gig in person, so I didn’t pay too much attention to the rest. It was great to witness such a magical stage presence. He clearly belongs up there and it’s unbelievable how much he’s capable to give to his audience. He easily made us all madly joyful during one song and deeply moved during the following one. I can’t remember the last time I’ve experienced so many strong feelings all at once. I moved from wonder, to excitement, to amusement to emotion (believe me, I never ever cry because of emotion… Now perhaps I should say criED). I have so many beautiful memories and I can’t stop re-watching the recording, because I’m wishful to relive them and I don’t want any of them to slip away. I’m not going to tell you about every intimate thought and feeling I had in every moment, I would be too embarrassed (that is more embarrassed than I am now) and nobody would care about them anyway. I’ll just report one of the most touching: closing my eyes and listening to Mika’s voice singing Underwater. I had shivers. After the gig I was still in shock for a few days, overwhelmed by a strange feeling, a mixture of amazement and melancholy at the same time. I wanted to wait for the hangover to pass before writing something. Someone wise told me it's like a drug: once you tried it, you're going to want some more and more. I suppose all I can do for now is to wait patiently. I’m so happy to have met some wonderful people Thank you girls (you know who you are ) for making me feel like I belonged, you truly are amazing. Until next time!

This time the show was too big to do such a thing... I was surrounded by MFCers and was so grateful we took care of each other. But in the front row there were some very aggressive people who wouldn't stop pushing No way! I saw it in the video and I wondered why the heck a giant luminous umbrella was standing in the middle of the crowd, now it's clear (still doesn't make any sense though)

Mikasounds, Twitter and Facebook updates - Part 12

I agree with what Guy wrote in general. I can't speak about France and I don't think this gig was the case, but I can see what's the situation in Italy and I'm honestly worried: people chasing him everywhere (at the hotel, like Sylvie said, and at the airport too), being desperate to see him, everybody wanting a piece of him without any regard to his privacy and will. I hope it won't get out of control, at least not more than it is already. -

I second that. -
I'm sure there are people like that at every concert, in Naples they were the most part though I'll never understand what's the point of going to a concert and then don't give a s*** about listening to him singing 'cause they've got to scream some idiotic words about his looks, managing to ruin the songs for everyone else as well. It just makes me really mad

Yeah, most of us here have the same opinion about X Factor. But who cares? I won't say no to a little trip with my friends, as I know how much fun we'll have. Oh, right, eventually seeing Mika would be better than nothing I suppose. At least, why don't you think about it a bit longer? -
I do like emotional reports too, I often sympathize with them. I don't necessarily like to write them myself though, because I feel embarassed. I'm going to write something and then decide what to censor Thank you very much, I had tried to download it but it wouldn't work with the Nutella YT video, so I tried with another one but it has been removed! So your file saved my life

And you call ME an idiot I told you what I think about your report, it's beautiful. I found nothing cheesy in it, not at all. Besides, many people wrote their report, why did you think I was talking about yours? Actually what I was talking about are all the thoughts going on in my mind these days after the concert. Some of them I'm afraid might sound cheesy if I wrote them down. Nothing to do with you, don't you ever think something like that again please, or else no video for you darling
