  1. Hahaha thanks! I made these very easily with makeagif.com That usually has an ugly "MakeAGif"-logo, but if you sign up for free you can get rid of that. I then edited them with Gimp 2 to make them brighter and crop them a little.
  2. I always check this thread every now and then When I joined I went through every old Wonkaland thread, but unfortunately a lot of pictures have disappeared I am now thinking, the gifs I made from the TGV making-of might belong here, what do you think? He's so professional
  3. Ah, the full music video for Je Chante! I like it a lot, thanks for posting
  4. I have the same, usually I can't handle anything at all but this video doesn't even make me feel remotely sad. I don't understand everything in the video (what happens to that bride??) but overall it's not a bad video. Maybe if I'm honest, I feel a bit indifferent, it doesn't really do much with me at all...
  5. What I hear is him saying "She is very sweet! She makes a horrible tea but she's very sweet" He's always been very picky about his tea, right
  6. I pre-ordered NPIH on bol.com as well back in June and I did get it on the release date... I hope that is the case now as well. Maybe they ordered enough for the pre-orders and any orders placed from now need 3 to 5 days. (Ik heb het net even gecheckt maar er staat wel "Bezorging: op verschijningsdatum" dus ik denk wel dat ze genoeg hebben dat de pre-orders worden bezorgd.. )
  7. I had the same Went from thinking "This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard" to dancing and singing along to the chorus
  8. O.O MIKASOUNDS.COM HAS BEEN UPDATED FINALLYYYYYYYYYYY

  9. In the SATS video you can see it says "No place in heaven" on the back! I like it too Thanks for sharing the videos, it actually makes me smile a lot while watching it! I understood that for Italians, him performing on this show is a bit of a laugh, but I thought he was cute with those kids during Relax
  10. I agree, I was looking forward to Overrated the most, and Heroes second since I heard a snippet from Como and it left me in tears... I don't understand it Yes I noticed that too! The description says it will have 20 tracks from the OSM concert... What is that based on, then?
  11. I literally gasped and threw my hands in the air, embarrassed myself... Nice picture Thanks for sharing
  12. Thank you for the links to the trailer! Sounds really good! Makes me feel like he could read the dictionary like this and I'd listen to the entire thing I'd really like to see this film once it's available
  13. Totally agree. I keep listening to it on repeat! I'm starting to hope that they'll make it a single and film a music video for it, since it's on number 1 after all..
  14. Yes it was! I'm still smiling every time I think about it
  15. Hello fellow Dutchie! September 22nd was my first Mika gig as well Glad that you joined MFC and I hope you'll like it here.
  16. I'm hearing "My life I'd give away for this" and "One night can make it worth it all" And I'm starting to hear "I get this feeling I can't risk" but I'm not very sure about that one... I love this song, did not expect that! I'm hoping they'll perform it on X Factor
  17. That cold is all around me as well, I got it too last week. As a singer, when you for example cough a lot it does indeed damage your vocal chords, especially your falsetto. That's extremely annoying for Mika I hope he gives his voice and everything some rest, and that he doesn't sing too much to make it heal faster.
  18. Oh I think we were standing right behind you, yes! I am not the tallest one That's my "little" sister
  19. Hey Linam! I believe that we queued together for a while I am Manon, the Dutch girl with the flowers on her head I saw that you were standing on the front row, glad you enjoyed it as well!
  20. That was my first idea too, to not react My post was merely to help Pascale, in the hope that she would stop doubting herself. You saw a great concert, don't give someone like this authority she doesn't deserve. Don't let her dictate what you heard and saw and enjoy your memories
  21. I've seen this "review" too. I completely disagree with it. He did not playback, I am sure I heard his voice. It was very strong and very much live, even often not singing the recorded version of the song. She mentioned his trick being "pulling a troubled face while pretending to sing" but he has always done that while singing high notes. With Relax in the past recent gigs he often let the audience sing "easy", but here he only did so at the final chorus. The choruses before that he sang it himself. Let me say that literally anyone can become a critic. There's no reason she has a better ear than any of us. I haven't watched any videos yet but his voice was indeed strong in reality.
  22. My first Mika gig Let me start off by saying that this was the best concert I've ever been to. I love how much he connects with the audience and the how much he lets the audience influence what he's doing on stage. Plus, I've never been so close to the stage before I don't want to talk to much about the queuing part, it's really about the concert after all! But I want to thank the people that I have been talking to, it was really nice all under our umbrellas (no it wasn't, it was cold and wet but at least we could share our misery ) I was the blond girl with the flower headband in my hair waiting for my sister, by the way Then we could get in, and my sister and I ended up at the second row! I couldn't be happier, I didn't really need front row for my first concert but I wanted to at least be somewhat close to the stage. This was perfect. I have never waited so much on one day but once Mika got on stage, it had all been worth it. He started at his caravan which was on the other side of the stage, but he often came to our side as well and then he was standing right in front of us. During Grace Kelly, he made Max play the bass veeeery slowwwllyyyyy..... then he sped up and sang the song normally. But, after the final chorus.. he started the song again! And made Max play slowly again! "Just because I can" Somewhat after that he said that just before they got on stage, he promised the band that he was going to behave that night. "I already F'ed that up", he said As he had messed it up anyway, he decided to sing songs in French, even though he originally hadn't planned to. Boum Boum Boum came next and was so much fun. But as someone said before, L'Amour didn't work. People didn't know the lyrics (boum boum boum is easy to sing along to, même les Américains comprennent after all) and they started to lose attention. Even I started taking pictures instead of singing and dancing along. But this was the only song that this happened, with the rest of the gig, Mika had the audience with him. Speaking of which, I am soooo happy about finally having seen Underwater live. I have seen that in so many videos and now I could be a part of the audience and sing for him And the Relax jump! And "don't screeEEAAMMMM"! All those tiny things that I had seen so often on Youtube. That is all I wanted. Promiseland live was something I didn't dare dream, when I got the album. So the fact that it happened.... To my ears, he didn't make any mistakes at all during that song! I know he did in the previous gigs. But it was perfect. Instead of the first time "I've got no money in my pocket and the whole world's bringing me down" he said: "Heineken Hall..... dance with me". The second time round he did sing those lyrics. His voice was On Point. I was very happy that I could hear everything very well because during the support act Citizens, I did not hear a thing once the drum started. Mika's mic was louder, thankfully. So then, at one point, Love Today ended, Mika disappeared, the audience was screaming We Want More and he came back to sing Last Party. At one point during the chorus he was standing right in front of me and I was singing and smiling really wide. He had a serious kind of look on his face but then he looked at me (of course, can't be sure. It was really close anyway) and started smiling really wide as well. Perfect ending for a gig. Except, it wasn't! The audience had been demanding Lollipop for quite some time (screaming Hey, what's the big idea?! and Yo Mika! and simply yelling Lollipop!) soo... after Last Party he sat himself behind his keyboard (I did miss his beautiful piano to be honest) and said: "Normally, after this song, I just leave. But tonight..." and started Lollipop. This guy, who was standing right next to us, screamed so loud at the lyric "She's a player and a downright whore!" that Mika fell silent and smiled: "couldn't have said it better myself"! He searched for the guy and finally he found him, and got his name wrong (it was Frans and he called him Hans) and then he invited him on the stage! It was hilarious. Eventually, the gig was over, Mika, Curtis, Tristan, Joy, Lewis and Max bowed and that was it. I bought the black shirt as a souvenir and my sister and I waited for Mika at the back. However, after 45 minutes or so we really had to leave. I was kind of sad but we just had to get home and we couldn't miss the last metro. I wasn't expecting to meet him anyway, the gig was all that really mattered to me. Maybe one day when I'm more prepared to meet him, I will. I couldn't be happier. Well, maybe only if I still were experiencing the gig. His voice was on fire, the setlist was (almost) perfect, I love his outfits, the set design is AMAZING, we had better spots than I had hoped for.. Best concert ever. Thank you Mika By the way, I didn't take many pictures, and the pictures I have are not very good. This one is my favourite:
