I think it is. You can see the gate in the second pic that he already showed in that French show last Sunday

I'm gonna be a party pooper now and say it's a little bit strange that they haven't yet officially announced this concert if it's really gonna take place in only a month and a half. But I might be wrong of course.

Thanks girls for recording and sharing. You're amazing!

Thanks for posting the link. I just watched it and I loved Staring at the Sun!! The beer game was funny too, I only wish the interview was longer, but it was a bit confusing, with Paul talking over Mika

I absolutely loved how embarrassed he was and I laughed a lot when his family was there with him. The madame Patate story was hilarious!! Still have to watch the second part.

She was trying to convince Mika to say yes to her and said she went there just for him, then when she went away, he told the others ''Let's not talk, let's be quiet, otherwise she might come back''

Should I take days off work too? XD I can't wait to watch it as well

I wonder too. I mean, as I said that's what Elio said during the radio show (he actually said Mika was sick with a 36.9°C fever and laughed, because 36.9°C isn't really fever) so maybe those fans were just repeating what they heard? It is strange that Mika wasn't there, though, if he wasn't sick.

MIKA official – ‏@mikasounds Mi dispiace tantissimo di non essere a @deejaychiamaitalia oggi. @linusdj prometto di tornare a trovarti presto Translation: I'm very sorry for not being on @deejaychiamaitalia today. @linusdj I promise I'll come back to see you soon. For those of you who don't know, today Mika was supposed to be a guest on a radio show but he wasn't there in the end. I'm not sure why though, Elio kind of jokingly said he was sick or maybe he was still in Paris where he was shooting a tv show and was unable to make it to Milan... no idea. Does anyone know why?

OMG I'm dying "X Factor Italy is totally different from all the others...." *goes riding Elio* Yes Mika, we noticed.... Gosh, how much I love this man!

Of course he does look good in suits, but please... during concerts? They may be good for TV shows as I said, but they don't let him move around that much on stage when he usually jumps and dances. And then I like his style, his colorful accessories, his bracelets and necklaces... ok, you got the point XD

Wait, what?? Valentino suits again for the winter tour?? Bummer! I was so happy he dumped his suits for his casual look again. I so hope the new suits are for the TV shows and that he meant something else by ''costumes''

I bet he doesn't even need to be tipsy to do such things. That's just his crazy self See? Kid at heart. What did I say?

Poor thing, why do people always think he's drunk? He's just a kid at heart. I can picture him taking those pics all satisfied

O.M.G. It doesn't even look like an actual pic, it looks photoshopped

He's showing Amira how to fetch sticks XD I love Wonkaland!!

I'll update this post with subbed videos of tv news EDIT: here's it is

That thing even reached Belgian press? o.O No way!

It was just a general statement as a conclusion to what I said, I'm not discussing your feelings at all.

I don't think Mika's tweets in Italian were to exclude anyone, of course if something's going on in Italy or among Italian fans, he's gonna tweet in Italian. What's the point of him tweeting in English for everyone to understand if the rest of the world wasn't aware of what was happening anyway? Then, if some non Italian fans were interested enough to try to understand his tweets and thought joining the hashtag was the right thing to do, no one told them not to, just as no one was expecting anyone to take part if they didn't want to. There's no good or bad choice in this story, we're all different and we all act according to what we think it's the best thing to do, if people did it with good intentions I don't understand what the problem is. As I said, it soon went beyond Mika and if someone took part in it only to seek his attention, they clearly missed the point of the whole thing.

When I first saw the pic it got me so upset that I hoped for Mika not to see it and I agree that it wasn't the best idea ever to tag him, but I like the fact that people reacted. It's not like they only shared the pic for gossip and stuff, they disagreed with the message and that's something that matters. Whatever the reason that pushed people to speak out, it soon became something more than just a bunch of pissed Mika fans, it became a demonstration of tolerance and support and acceptance to all the people who are bullied for being different for something they can't even change and I honestly can't see how that's a bad thing. The person who wrote that thing on those posters didn't do it just to pick on Mika, but because that's what he thinks is the right thing to do and who knows what else he may have done to gay people in real life and this is something that really needs to change, especially since institutions and politicians do nothing to protect those people. Just the mere fact that people don't ignore the problem but face it is important. Step by step you can run marathons. This was not just about Mika, he was just a symbol of a bigger fight.

Italian fans decided to start the hashtag on their own and I think it was just a symbolic form of protest against this kind of mentality. Yes, they gave that pic more visibility and maybe that's the side effect, but it was done with good intentions to show support not only to Mika but to all the people treated like that or even worse everyday. In a country where silence because of fear has been normal for so many years, breaking the silence is actually the first step in the right direction. The pic was just what caused the protest but then it extended against the whole homophobic mentality, not just against the single stupid person who had nothing better to do than write that thing.

Yes, Mika joined the hashtag created by some fans. He said he had already seen the pic but decided to ignore it, but then changed his mind and joined in

Perfectly right Karin. And we translated the hashtag in several languages on our Subs Team twitter account, if you wanna join and retweet it in other languages feel free to do so

Niiiice jacket!!
