  1. But would that be unfair to the italian fans that Andrea Bocelli put your hope into consideration and sing just ONE English song? No!
  2. So because they are foreigners, even they are in the audience, they do not have the right to see what they want as you do? And HE should not put our preference into consideration? Geez. It's not that he did not put UK fans' preference into consideration, he did way less French songs. And you can not even accept ONE French songs. It's just impossible to talk sense into you, isn't it?
  3. Someone in there, who could hear what everyone said, just told me the situation was very uncomfortable. And to be honest there're nothing more I can say. Apparently I can not talk sense into the self-centered fans here.
  4. Yeah logic matters. YOUR preference is YOUR preference. Cuz someone here are saying because they dont want it, and they are UK fans, MIKA should not do it. That expectation is not reasonable.
  5. For people still dont understand and think MIKA is just being childish. Just put yourself into MIKA's shoes, what if it's you performing/speaking in the stage, and you prepared so much for it and hope everything will go right, then someone else yelled at you in a non-friendly way in the audience, what would you feel? I just imagine that, and feel horrifying and disgusting.
  6. First of all, calling you these is inappropriate. That I know for sure. Second, you've known him a long time, he knows what you're like, is so self-centered, just because he knows you doesn't mean you have the right to heckle him in a show and he would/should not feel bad about what you said, which apparently is a lot fans' logic here. They are fans from beginning, they should be treated more special, well no, outside the performance you can be friends or whatever, in the show you are just a fan and an audience. To be honest, after hearing exactly what happened from you, my sympathy for you is only for the part he said you just get more BBB and the fans calling you mean words, the rest I really don't think he did anything wrong. And you did not feel sorry until recently, before that apparently you dont think vocally speaking negative opinion to the performer on stage is rude/mean at all. Well it is, as Prascale said, there is a difference between hearing feedback (when you ask for it) at a chosen moment and hearing a loud critical comment while you're performing in the middle of a concert. I thought I would leave this thing behind, but the logic behind someone's statement is just killing me. Someone else's argument is that they paid so the concert should go exactly as they expected. It's ridiculous, it's like if you and some people went to a restaurant to eat together and you all share the dishes, and you and someone ordered a bunch of stuff, and most of them turn out to be really good and exactly what you want, but for one dish you didnt ordered it and dont like, someone else in the group like it a lot and ordered it and the restaurant serve it, yeah you have to pay that dishes' share too, but is there anything wrong in that situation? No! If you can understand this reason behind this situation, then you will understand why to us it's so absurd about the argument that they paid for the concert so it should go exactly as they expected. Unless you raise the money to hold a private concert, where you hired him to sing exactly what you want, and he took the offer (which honestly I dont think he would) , then you have the right to have the concert to go exactly as you want. Also, the logic behind the UK gig should only have English songs is weak too. First of all, even some people live in the UK area like his French songs, it's maybe a small portion, but there are some, so even for the UK people's sake he would blend in one/two french songs ( comparing to 17 songs!) . Even all the UK people dont like French songs, there're foreigners in the gig too. Your logic is that because it's in UK they should only expect English songs, which is so ridiculous, it's like people who travels to London should only eat English food, and if they want to eat French food, they should fly to Paris! Honestly, I have a feeling that some UK fans here hold a grudge on foreign fans who did not want they want, and they sound so superier because they're UK fans or long time fans. Some fans, not all of them.
  7. It's just my guess. I don't know what he will sing in the show. I'm not his agent and I don't have super power
  8. Just realized that my obsession with MIKA turns me into a judgmental person, I need to be more rational and just relax and enjoy his music.

      your not Judgemental Yang!

  9. Oops sorry about, yeah I have no idea what actually happened, I did not even know about these until the star interview. It seems that different people just telling me different stories. I should not put myself into this situation, thanks the to clear my mind! OMG, I was too deep in this place which I had no position! and
  10. I don't think he needs unconditional love and approval, I think he just does not want to be rudely treated and given vocally negative during the show, which is not a big request. He has been told many times that UK fans don't like French songs, but I think this is the first time it really upset him, because they yell it out during the show. It's like when I was teaching a undergraduate class if the students don't like what I said they could always talked about it to me later, not saying loudly in class they didnt like the topic I teach. That is basic polite and respect to the one on stage, which is not a lot to ask. I've heard complains after the class, but never during my lecture. And I can not imagine how sad and embarrased I would be if the students just vocally negative about my lecture in the class.
  11. Yeah if you really don't like his French songs, and can not even stand one song in his gig, it may really not be a good idea to spend all the money to go to London, cuz that will be very costly, the flight and the insanely expensive hotel. Will you still come to his North American gigs later? He mentioned there will be North American gigs too in some interview last year.
  12. Then maybe he is not talking about you all the time? All he said is someone loudly insulting him. I don't know . Sorry for what happened in one of the later gigs, I hope he's not talking about you, glad that even you feel hurt you still want to go to his show . I think he would not feel hurtful and angry of what you said, so maybe someone else is saying something nasty? He said someone insult him, which did not fit your case. I tried to hear it from the video, but all I hear is someone yelling loud sound(which doesnt sound just one sentence) in the begining of BBB even before he's explaining.
  13. The tickets of NYC Brooklyn concerts is cheaper too, and he fly to US for it. The part that a lot times gigs are not making money is true, Queenies mentioned about it to me that a lot rock bands do the shows for adrenaline and promotion, they even lose money for it. Mika talked about gigs are not profitable too, I remember him mentioning about it in a US interview. I don't really know about this industry, but I do not really think he agree the streaming thing purely for the money.
  14. I don't know if iqiyi is paying for him. But I do know this connection happens because of the universal company, which is his agency company in UK, right? And, if I remember correctly, a lot singers/bands (Queen, for example) are not making profits from gigs, in fact sometimes they lose money, even in a sold out gig. And they need to be sponsered, that's why mika said "invite(sponser) me if you want me to play in your city/country". Like it or not, if he is not sponsered he may not able to do the gigs, and whether he get sponsered or not again depending on how many viewers he get from China in this particular case. I'm sure about the streaming thing, all the rest is my guess ( that he may sing French songs to please Chinese fans), geez that is very harsh to hear, and insulting to both mika and Chinese fans.
  15. EM: I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you remember that Patrick Wolf diss you long time ago? Also, have you regretted about anything about your career? M: Haha that is just a stupid thing. He said some insulting words with no base, and he appologized twice after that. I guess he is just being implusive. Speaking of the things that made me regret, I actually have done a lot. For example, allowing people work around me to give me huge pressure. Pressure is kind of an illusion, it's just a tool that people want to make money from me, now I am very sensitive to this, I run the moment I see it coming. Now I no longer regret anything, overall my music career is very special and very strange, and I am very happy and very moved and feel ease. Life is, ah, like the movie "sliding", starred by Gwyneth Paltrow...... (Editor's note: also known as "Sliding Doors," about Paltrow starring as the leading actress who live to completely different life base on whether she did or didn't catch up with subway). Anyway, if you go back to change the things that you regret, God knows what other s**t you will meet anyway, right?
  16. Yeah that's true, to be fair this time in the HK interview he only say this story as a contradiction to show how happy he was later to see the fan flag move. I guess he didnt think about the fact that it would be very hurtful to the fan in this opposite side of the story. Maybe someone who knew him should inform him about that. Another concern I have is, he is going to do another UK show this year, and it will be streamed by iqiyi in China, since the audience would be bigger he may sing some French songs again. I know a lot China fans love BBB and he sure knows that. I hope this time UK fans would understand and this kind of issue will not happen again.
  17. "FOUR F*CKING ALBUMS AND HE SINGS THIS?" Did she actually say the F word to mika, in a serious not joking way??
  18. Yeah that's why I wanted to know what exactly did she say, why he considered it insulting... Do you have any idea?
  19. I'm not saying not singing with the french songs, or unfamiliar with it, is arrogance. But the idea just because it's a UK gig it should not contain French songs, is arrogant for sure.
  20. You didn't seem to concern about this even when he didn't attacking them in public, or did you? But yeah the part he think this person needs to get laid is rude, I agree he should not do it. However, he is NOT a monster, that's a very serious word, which I learn this fact exactly here on MFC.
  21. First of all, I understand that some fans don't like French songs, I really do. But the idea that a UK setlist should not contain ANY French songs is not perfectly understandable in any way, it's pure arrogance. And that's what I felt throughout the discussion. WOW some UK fans are so special, Mika should not do what he do throughout the whole heaven tour. And also, people who went to a UK gig maybe also because London is relatively easier to get to, both the location and the time, or maybe they just want to visit London as well. The logic behind the people come to UK gig because they want him to sing English songs is just flawed in so many aspects. I'm not saying that's not a reason, but it's just A reason for SOMEONE, not THE reason for EVERYONE.
  22. Interesting, based on the wording, the fact that he was hurt in his own gig did not bother some people here at all. Because he may(I don't know what he heard) overact didn't mean that he's hurt at his own gig didn't matter. To be honest, I don't like that he said the fan need some BBB, that's quite rude and it bothers me too. I think he could handle this in a better way. But he is not the one starting it, it's like in a fight, the people made the first attack was always the one hold the biggest responsibility, and I don't think him singing a French song is the first attack in any sense.
  23. OK, now I really need to know, what did she say to mika exactly, the exact words? Cuz apparently he took it as insult, but a lot UK fans think it's just criticize. There's clearly a gap here. It will be really nice to know the exact wording she was using, and to see if mika is overacting or the fan is being too harsh.
