Thanks for the translation!

I watched the live stream yesterday. Terribly jealous, it looked like a gorgeous night to be in Rome. The collection had some.. misses for me, but omg on the whole it was stunninggggg. Definitely gonna be drawing some inspiration from it!

Ok I gotta ask. Is Mika really allergic to peanuts or was that just a clever line?

My NPIH alb. has all the lyrics, also the bonus tracks, which is so great! From "All she wants" lyric, this is it:

"But it's oh so complicated " and the other is: " An acceptable version"

 

Love, love

me

Ah thanks for that info! I wish I'd gotten that album version but I wanna save to go see him in concert. Thankfully there's awesome people like you to help out.

Congrats Sandy! I used to visit Toronto often when I lived just across the lake, and pre-9/11 when it was slightly easier to cross. I love Toronto, it's beautiful. And I'll definitely take you up on that Tim Hortons offer someday. Are the timbits still a two-nie?

Right, so, apparently it's my turn to finally drag my little tail in here. Bonjour!   I'm seriously hoping Mika comes back in 2016. Maybe another acoustic tour? With more than just NYC and LA? I am saving up my pennies for this so I can go see him. Also. If whoever can do it wants to do it, you can add South Carolina to the tags, because SC in the houseeeee. 

So, has anyone else been inspired to learn languages because of Mika? I learned French in school... and then promptly forgot it as soon as I graduated. (I grew up in Upstate NY, and it seemed a logical choice. Then I moved south, because: SNOW.) But now I want to be able to watch The Voice without needing to find subtitles and use translator apps and stuff so, I'm relearning it! I'm using this app called DuoLingo. It's going fairly well.

Oh man. I totally just found my new favorite thread on here. I adoreeeee this about Mika. Infact, his willingness and actually I almost think it's a desire, to make completely bonkers facial expressions without caring what people might think is possibly my favorite thing about him (after his ittle bittle dimples.) I dunno it just seems like it speaks so much to how expressive he is which of course shows in his music, but also to his personality. It matches mine (and thank goodness I work with kids and can let this out as much as I want as well!) Never grow up Mika! NEVER!

Pretty sure this is going to have to be made into my official Mika forum icon. I'd been using other icons I've made until I found something worthy... this, this is so ME that it is SO worthy.

I also love when he's all dark and twisty. I'd heard his music before I saw any videos of course, but when I was on YouTube one day Popular Song's video came up on recommended and I remembered, "Oh, Mika! Yes! I like him." and so I watched it, and then I watched the behind the scenes, and I was instantly smitten.   There's just something about a naughty little dork that gets my motor going...

I hear "oh so complicated".

But also I hear "an acceptable Persian."

Hi there Carolina! I'm Marilyn, from the UK. Welcome to the fanclub.

It's great being on here, because if you can't get to a gig, you won't miss out. I can't get to a lot of Mika's gigs as I am disabled. I can't stand for long periods, so festivals are out. I also have to watch my travelling, as it can be too much for me.

For that reason, I can't go to the UK gig in London, as it's the weekend, and the trains are like something out of a horror movie at the weekend. But I've got involved with the fan action for the gig. I'm making Mika name badges for the fans who will be there, so I will be involved and will feel like I am there.

I love it when Americans get to know Mika, as the UK always make a fuss of any act that has "broken America". So I want... Well let's face it... I want nothing short of world domination for Mika. He deserves it.

So once again, welcome to the MFC. Have a great time here. 

YES! World Domination! Exactly. Mwahahaha. I've seen others say it on here and I feel it to, like Talk About You could have been written by us fans about him. I kind of hid it a little at first because it seemed like people would think it weird that a 31 year old woman is this crazy about a singer that isn't even big here. Which is kind of stupid when I put that in writing since I know people who are crazy crazy about like, Adam Levine and stuff (which is funny because when I saw the clips from The Voice in France with Mika I was like "omg, he's their Adam. He's gorgeous to look at, sincere but funny, a great sense of humor, and a little bit of l'enfant terrible." And wow I just went way off track again but stay tuned because I am about to come back to that phrase at the end of the post...) But well, I can't hold it in. I wanna scream from the rooftops, his name, his lyrics, how amazing he is. So people around me have noticed, clearly, and asked and then haven't been able to shut me up lol.

I can feel u ><

 We're all in this together!!!!!

Hi there, welcome to MFC! Great into

I'm Dee. Is your name Ash? I'm sorry you didn't get to see Mika in NYC but when he comes to the states it's pretty much a sure thing he'll do NYC (probably twice!) so fingers crossed you'll get more chances in a few months.

I'm from Nebraska & just got my passport about a month before i saw him in Montreal in February so you're idea of getting the passport soon is great. Trust me, it'll be one less thing to worry about when the Canadian gig time nears. I wish i'd thought as far ahead as you, lol

 

I'm the US World Rep so if you need anything or have question please feel free to send me a personal message or ask me on the forum. We've got a thread for Mika fans in the USA to discuss things too if you wanna come introduce yourself http://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/31005-us-american-thread-part-vi/

Yes! My name is Ash! Hi Dee, that'll be easy to remember, I have a coworker named that. I've got my passport picture ready, just need to have it printed (Yay for walmart) and tomorrow at work I'm going to do the form on my lunch break. I really hope after he's done his Europe part of the tour he comes back. I actually really wish I could suggest a place to him. Because Wilmington, NC is just an hour from me and it is such a Mika city! (If anyone gets a chance to visit do so, it's worth it.) It's got old history and beautiful architecture and design, a wonderful "vibe" that makes it feel like the city itself is ALIVE, but it's also very much into the modern art scene and has a huge art based community (Probably because there's a movie studio there. They film things like Under the Dome, One Tree Hill, Firestarter, Iron Man 3, etc.) It also is a very liberal city that would be so very open to Mika's unique universe. <3 But pretty much anywhere. I am setting aside money like crazy so I can be ready even if I have something else unexpected happen.

Back to what I was saying about l'enfant terrible. I was watching the video of Mika & Myspace from earlier this year (MySpace is still a thing? what? WOW.) where he talked about the boy who ran away from home and took his home, and his fashion theory, and then about how on The Voice they called him l'enfant terrible and why and he said something I can't quite remember about how everyone should be that way from time to time or something like that and it got me thinking. Do Mika fans have a name? (Ya know, like Parrotheads, and whatnot.) I'm thinking I might have heard some, but if not, we should be "Les Enfants Terrible." lol. Anywho. I'm gonna hush now.

I have no idea why I'm so nervous. Maybe it's because I love Mika so much and you guys do too and I don't wanna seem tardy to the party, even though I totally am, and I'm impressed by so many of you and your stories of going to see Mika. I was inspired to join after the GMA appearance. You see, I felt like I had missed 3 chances to see Mika, the 3 in NY (Oh, I'm in South Carolina.) Just because I'd worried about the logistics. Even though I had recently professed on my Facebook, late one night when I do all my best, most honest, spazzing out, that I'd do pretty much anything, even camp out for a week to see him.

I just kind of digressed, I'll warn you that I do that a lot. Anyways, I then spent that day rewinding his performance and periscope and Natasha's and got very meloncholy. Immediate regret that I didn't try harder. To quote a semi awful movie, I let the fear of striking out keep me from playing the game. I told myself I had no one in NY. It was so early and I'm not an early person, and it'd probably be one song for the show and I'd rather wait til he was back at a club again. Talked myself right out of it and regretted it ever since. Tears were involved, it was ugly. Then I decided no more excuses. If I wanted something to change, I had to do it.

So I started by joining here. In hopes that you guys would keep me on the right path, inspire me, and maybe even provide insight. I then made a list for what I'm calling Operation Mika. It includes getting a passport (incase I get a chance for a show in Canada.) And researching places to stay and how to do this and getting myself ready both physically and mentally for what going to a Mika show will mean for me. (You know, lots of waiting in lines, jumping, screaming, feeling slightly overwhelmed...)

So yeah, that is why I'm here.
