But they say it's for the next year.

  Lot of time to fantizise about it then .....

I'm pretty sure that the Gospel was supposed to be part of the show in Verona  in 2020 before it was cancelled because of the pandemic.

Maybe they'll be there for the big shows during the magic piano tour ?

I love the part where Fortuné didn’t seem to be very amused  

 

And you'd probably also like when he was introduced to the man

Wow! Joelle, thank you for this beautiful story!!!!!!

This is what I love to listen to 

Things are happening on the stage. But things as well are happening in the audience.

 

I love this story about Mika's father. I think that fans very often talk to him and it means a lot to him. He is a part of our Mika family  

The fact that the man is "somebody" in music probably made him even prouder as if it was from a fan !

Maybe one day Bo will be famous and will talk about this man the same way Mika is talking about his music teachers .....

Oh and I forgot to  mentionned that at the very end Mika's father screamed a lot for Ida and Max .....seems that he's not mad about Max about a "controversial" joke ....

@Anna Ko Kolkowska told me that you love anecdotes , so I'm back not for a concert review but to tell you about a tiny story happening in the stands.... 

It's been quite a long time , I'll try my best , please be lenient whith my memory 

That night I was seated at the 4th rank ,right in front of Mika's family . Beauregard was just behind me , with Yasmine on his right , and on his left MHPS , Fortuné , his friend , Zuleika, Andy and maybe more ....

I was surrounded by people I didn't know , probably not as hard fan as we are.  The old man on my left was obviously none of us but rather a musician himself , or a friend of the philarmony , anyway he seemed to know much about music and he seemed to be friend whith the responsible who retired after that night .(Maybe you remember that at the end Mika thanks a man who was just retiring , I don't remember his name or function)

Beauregard and MHPS were very enthousiastic from the very beginning , clappping hands, screaming after each songs quite loudly , and B dancing with Yasmine   . My neighbour didn't look like he appreciated this noise that much , and I really feared that he may ask them to shut up .

But he was enjoying the concert very much and after an awesome song (don't ask me which one , I don't remember after all this time) he  began to be more and more enthousiastic , even shouting "bravo" a couple of time .

At the midtime pause , Mika's family left , only Fortuné and friend stayed . My neighbour asked me why Mika told about Opéra while introducing a song , so I told him the whole story about his debuts. He was very interrested , even asked me about the compositors  he had performed . Remembering that he was quite annoyed by the noise behind him and to prevent any incident I told him that Mika's father was sitting behind him. He first said "Oh  , now I understand why him and the boy are so noisy " and added "he should be so proud of him" . Of course I only could agree ....

Then he turned towards Fortuné and said to him "this lady ( yes he was talking about me .... ) told me that you're sitted next to the artist's father " !

  . I didn't ear the answer (may be none ....) but didn't feel like Fortuné was that happy ! I felt soooo embarrassed that I started to regret .

When Bo and MHPS went back the man first asked Bo if he was enjoying the show and he said "yes" . Mika's father appologized for the noise and said that  Bo was not shy to show his enthousiasm because he noticed that the man also screamed a couple of time.

Then the man asked him if he was Mika's father . Of course he said yes , and the man told him that he should be so proud of his son . MHPS grabbed his shoulder and thanked him several times , saying that it means a lot to him . As you can imagine , I was sooo relieved ! I don't remember exactly the tempo but the man asked again about Mika's work at the opéra and got the answers he wanted . Mika's father  introduced  Fortuné ( .....)  and Beauregard to him . He asked if Fortuné was an artist too ,  he replied "no I'm an architect". But Mickael said that Beauregard was kind of an artist and the man said "Oh a mini Mika then " and they started a conversation about him . I didn't ear much at this time because people were coming back but they both seemed to be very interrested by each other  , and the man asked a lot . Then Mika came back to continue the show and the father thanked the man several times again , saying that the compliments were so meaningfull coming from him ( still don't know who he exactly was , anyway obviously somebody who knows much about music )

At the end of the show they talked again , and Mika's father gave  his phone number asking the man to call him back . Don't ask me the number ,I was not able to read it when the man almost blinded me whith the newspaper it was writting on when he left at the "encore" ....

It seems that the noise WE made at this time was too much for him to cope with !!

Well ,I still don't know who he is , but the whole story made me smile because I may be the "responsible" of a new friendship or maybe a new teacher for Beauregard 

I feel like it sounds a bit like some "daft punk" songs

It's not the worst remix I've eared, but won't play it again

We had already this discussion about the Yo-Yo remix. And now everybody loves it during the gig. Or rather at the end of the gig 

 

It's funny at the end of a gig because Mika and his band are dancing along ,but I still don't listen to it on my own.

Tbh ,the only remix I appreciate is "hurt" because it's not all about a loop and autotune voices.

From the little snippet he shared I'm probably not going to listen to this one more than once 

But anyway , he's doing so many things that it's quite impossible to love everything .......and maybe he's got a deal with some night club company 

I knew this tiktok challenge was going to end desastrously .......

We have seen Mika's dad going down the stairs behind the stage before the concert and we started to make him an ovation 

 

I only noticed him at the very end of the show as he was screaming "we are golden" as loud as any other fan in the audience.

I think that the sister who was next to him was Zuleika because she was as tall as him and Yasmine is smaller

This makes me remember that I still didn't tell you about some fun anecdote happening at the Philharmonie de Paris while I was seated just in front of the whole family .... 

But maybe you're not interrested to know it

Regarding the movie, it's quite different. Maybe a bit too ''american'' here in french. And definitely not something that will work in France 

 

Did you watch it on Amazon prime or did you manage to find it somewhere else ?

I have a feeling this video shows the happy time before he wrote TOOL. The months before he started writing the album I was told he had broken up with his partner and his sister had her accident.
 

 

I rather think that it was earlier .

When he was not already at ease with his life  and probably wondering if his family and friends would still love him if he was going to be his true self

I can't see the point of releasing a video of unrelated images of Mika It doesn't add anything to the song - in fact if anything, the shots of Mika goofing around actually detract from the words.

 

If they wanted something visual, why not just film him singing?

Maybe these are videos of a time he was asking himself "who's gonna love me now" ?

hi !

Such a shame I only see your post today when I'm back home from Colmar

Hope you had a great time and didn't struggle with French language too much

(Still in Colmar it's highly possible to find people speaking German)

Merci beaucoup, Carafon! I need now to listen to it many times to be able to understand everything. But Mika was so kind yesterday! I still can't believe I missed it. A big thank you to you sharing this precious moment!!!

Maybe somebody who was closer than me has a better one and will share it

What an amazing gig it was, indeed! Did someone film the entire speech when he came out of his hotel? I came there too late. 

I was a bit late too but may have recorded more than you 

I'm going to share when I have a proper connection. 

I didn't take any pics nor vids of the gig coz I preferred to enjoy the moment

Yes, I'm here by car. Ok, just tell me when you're ready. 

Don't know if I told you that I'm arriving tomorrow 

I'll arrive in the afternoon ( around 3/4 PM)

As I'll have to wake up at 5 AM , I planed to have a nap 

But if you're by car and want to go to the beach ( Canet en Roussillon is the closest) I'm in

I am not sur if this "fan action" from Twitter will work at all.

Young girls have a strange idea we don't understand. I don't think people know who is Mareva. So screaming her name or showing a sheet with her name can be pretty strange. At least if Mika gets the idea. But Mareva doesn't want to go on stage again and actually it's her "fan club" wants to do something using her name.... well I am not able to explain it.

 

I'm not convinced too , but who knows ....

I just felt that it was nothing one day and too much 2 days later.

I remember in Strasbourg , there were so many stuff that many people didn't use the right one at the right moment 

But if' you've got baloons for Perpignan too , it's cool .

It seems that fans on twitter are planning a FA  for Underwater

Whith the balloons , eyes, and rainbow , it would be 4 just for 1 gig , so I wonder if if's not too much for "random" people to follow ....

Wouldn't it be wiser to move 1 or 2 of them to Perpignan as it seems that noting is organised so far ?

Maybe the baloons and eyes ? ( I think that @Romy04and @Anna Ko Kolkowskaare going )

For Yoyo we have the eyes. Not more than 1 fanaction per song, please! 😅

 

So, Tiny Love (maybe not dark yet), Happy Ending (slow song, but no relation to rainbows) or Grace Kelly?

GK is a good idea .  I feel like fan actions are always for the same tittles , I don't remember any for GK

Maybe at the end ?

To be sure that it will be dark

As there seems to be no fanaction planned this time that makes use of the seats, like they had the last time with the M heart, I was wondering if we should do the rainbow we had planned for one or more of the 2020 gigs? And I got a new idea for this, that would make it a lot easier (and environmentally friendly) than giving everyone an A4 sheet of paper, cutting out shapes or anything like that. And that is, just attach a tiny piece of coloured paper to your phone light - so with that we could turn the venue into a rainbow of lights. The venue even has the shape of a rainbow, lol! Tbh I stole that idea from the Harry Styles concert where I've seen fans do it - they had it all in mixed colours throughout the crowd, which is also an option, but I think a rainbow is not much more effort and might give a nice effect.

 

I'm not really sure how big the capacity of the venue is, on Wikipedia France it says 5000 but it seems smaller to me... Anyway even with 5000 I would only need about 30-40 Din A4 pages, that's even doable within my cabin luggage allowance.  But if anyone wants to help, lmk.

 

What do you think, should we do it? Would anyone be up for helping me distribute the papers? I was thinking about giving one pack of papers per row with an instruction sheet, to pass through.

If I counted it well there is 6 rows carre or plus 24 rows. Total 30 rows. ( I don't count small areas behind the main part of the venue)

 

So if we take 5 colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue) it makes 6 rows per color.

Of cours rows in the back part are larger so it makes more seats.

The last row is about 100 places. 

 

 

 

 

Maybe 6 colours for the "carré d'or" aréa is enough ?

It would be easier to organise and less paper to use
