  1. Just posted a video of we are golden from June 4th.A very energetic performance! Please give me your comments .... Thx http://youtu.be/CAP5snPuYzs
  2. Where do I begin....... Having been to the Montreal symphony concert as my first Mika concert experience I didn't think anything could top that! Not knowing the set list or how long the concert was going to be I really had no idea how many old or new songs he would be playing tonight. Let me just start off by saying that Mika was in fine form vocally and performance wise. Having bought my tickets two days before the concert I feel blessed having been sitting sixth rowslightly left of center!!it is incredible how often they hold back the best seats until the last minute. This was the ideal location to see mika up close especially when he was at the piano The combination of his performance with the visual effects including the lighting was superb especially in such a venue as place des arts.checking the set list written above I have to mention he also sang talk about you and happy and then one of my favorites. I am so glad he sang many songs that he did not do at the Montreal symphony concert due to their lively nature. His band and backup singers were in fine form tonight. He spoke quite a bit in between songs about being proud of his Lebanese roots and how certain songs originated. Highlights for me and included no place in heaven which I do not believe he sang before as well as origin of love, last party and we are golden where the crowd went crazy. Just a small message for those people going tonight there actually was a merchandise table but for some strange reason it was located outside the venue and they sold only T-shirts for $35 in case anybody's interested. I found it quite funny that Mika referred to the conductor of the MSO stating that he was present tonight and was not in any power to shut people up if they started to clap or sing. This went over very well with the crowd as they roared their approval. I actually felt bad for the guyII was able to capture a few photos and videos only because the crowd was so wild everyone kept standing and dancing waving their arms which obviously made it difficult to film. I did not see any security stopping people from taking pictures but I can only speak of those people in the middle of the row. I will try and post a video on YouTube later but please tell me how I can post some photos on the site as I have never done it before. I have an iPhone 6 so please give me details. I would be interested to know if any other people at the concert were able to shoot any quality video footage. Please let me know. More thoughts to follow ...........

  5. Thank you for the tip Guylaine Hope I did it right... first time attempting this Would love your comments on the video! http://youtu.be/TPcsHZ5rNL0
  6. So happy to report that I successfully was able to post my video of good guys on YouTube. Please check it out and let me know what you think. If anyone knows how to put up a link to that video on this website I would truly appreciate it as I am not sure how that works.Love the orchestra swelling during the last part of the song and hope this will be similar to the released version on his next album. I hope you all enjoy it!!
  7. Hello again all I'm trying to figure out which one of my videos to post either on YouTube either publicly or privately and I am having such a tough time considering that there are so many that blew me out of the water.The symphony enhanced so many of his songs that they even sound better than the original. These would include love me today any other world happy ending ordinary man overrated heroes and even Grace Kelly believe it or not.I would like to take a vote from many of you out there as to which should be the first video I should post. Alternatively I was thinking of holding a Willy Wonka type of contest where instead of five golden tickets the first five people to contact me privately will be involved in organizing a viewing party for all of the videos taken that evening at some secret location in Montreal. Might even invite the lollipop Guild and some oompah loompas.... haha... . It would be like reliving the concert. Tell me what you guys think is a better idea.I just can't keep these great videos to myself anymore. They must be shared with the world......
  8. Watching back some of the video footage that I took that evening I couldn't help but notice a few interesting funny moments duringthe concert . For example when Mikat took a second standing ovation with the conductor at the end he started to bow but the conductor did not.he had a cute smile on his face when realizing that he was the only one trying to bow. Then when Ida and Max came over they all took about together. As well I noticed during the end of any other world I believe he said the wrong line before the last line. Instead of in any other world you could tell the difference he saying I tried to live alone you can tell the difference. I don't think anyone noticed and he certainly let it show on his face that it was the wrong line.i'm wondering if anybody else noticed any subtle changes or mistakes in any of the songs on any of the three nights. Another spectacular moment was the song love today where the orchestra swelled at the end giving that song an amazing finale. I am also wondering what the concert sounded like for those people that were sitting backstage behind the orchestra. Obviously the visuals were not great but I'm wondering if the sound still was spectacular. I am looking to buy a greatest hits of Mika I noticed there was a CD called songbook but can someone explain to me how they could not put on the song any other world one of the most beautiful songs I think he has ever done. I think the fans should have more of a say in what goes on the CDs instead of the record company. Does anybody know what Mika says before he starts the same good guys Churing the second performance. He starts by saying this is the second time I have sung the song and then says two more sentences in French . I could not make out and then he had a smirk on his face. Did anybody catch what he said? Lastly can anybody give me the history of Ida and Max I don't really know who they are and what their significance was at the concert. If they have a long-standing history in mika's career? THX
  9. Thanks so much for your response. Just watched some of your videos and was wondering if you recorded them in HD as they seem to be slightly blurry whenwatching them on my iPhone Occasionally going in and out of focus.did you record in 1080 HD and are they super clear when you watch them on playback. You had a great vantage point and I was wondering if you were from Montreal as I am. What is interesting is that you got videos that I missed and I most likely have some that you are missing. Tell me which videos you're missing and perhaps we can compile a Collection containing the entire concert. Wouldn't that be wonderful. You were so close to the stage I'm sure you were nervous hoping that nobody caught a glimpse of your camera. I am wondering how many other people may have gotten videos from the concert as well.please PM me if you would like to possibly exchange videos in the near future. Please tell me which songs were your favorites as for me they were ordinary man any other world happy ending the last party good guys heroes and love today. The sound on my videos are simply spectacular and you can even see the beads of sweat running down his face during some of the songs.
  10. Not one to leave comments online usually I felt compelled to join this site and let you all know how blown away I was attending the feb 11 concert The story starts when friends of ours could not go and gave us their seats. Having never been to the venue I did not realize how amazing the seats were about to be! Sitting 7th row dead center I was engrossed and consumed by a show and performance that I will remember for years to come.... Knowing 2 songs super well happy endings and any other world from sytycd Canada and of course his big hits I realized I was going to be in for a treat with the mso involved. My expectations were exceeded and then some as his voice transmitted through the concert hall with those wonderful other singers and the orchestra. Other highlights for me were an ordinary man overrated take it easy and love today the finale.can't get them out of my head. Now comes the surprise.....r u ready! First I could not believe the fact that at that time it was believed that no one was professionally recording video footage for a future release. What could his record company have possibly been thinking?with cd sales tanking this would definitely be a huge seller! This is a travesty I said to myself! How does one waste such a beautiful oppurtunity to capture this rare event and preserve it forever. It so happened that I had by new Sony camera in my bag from sightseeing earlier. The rest is such a blur...... I must have been holding my camera on my lap and somehow....my finger must've touched the movie button because lo and behold when I got home I realized that I had beautifully captured some of his finest songs from that night on video! Even more remarkable was the fact that they were the exact tracks that I loved so much..... What was so funny is that a child was sitting in front of me that was so small there was no obstructed view ahead! Could the stars have been aligned any better! Wondering if anyone else from Montreal had the same thing happen to them.... Having watched this footage at least 10 times since that night I must figure out a way to share my footage with some of his biggest fans but being very tech naive and not wanting to feel as though his fans would disapprove of such an action I just don't know what to do. It wouldn't be right to just keep it to myself. As Oprah once said at her speech here in Montreal... What good is it to have a wonderful item if you cannot share it with the world! I would love someone's opinion especially if you are from montreal on what to do....... Btw what a nice surprise to have met his family briefly as they were all exiting a plush old Montreal hotel as I was passing by the next day....Just had to say hello- super nice and classy family...... Waiting for some suggestions and feedback..... Thx so much
