That's great, I'm so happy for you!

Thank you 

• My Report:

I have always been a dreamer. But even in my wildest dreams, I never imagined this journey would turn out to be so magical.

I live in Tunisia, North Africa. For Mika, I crossed the sea. I paid what I had to pay; I did what I had to do: I bought my tickets, booked my hotel, took a plane and landed in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 1^st 2016.

My sister and my mother were with me. We’re all Mika fans, and we were all incredibly excited. The airport was just next to the Arena where Mika was going to perform, and so – after a quick stop at the hotel to put our Mika t-shirts on – we headed for the Arena at 2 pm. As we arrived in front of it, we were singing, dancing, prancing around and generally unable to contain our excitement. There weren’t many people, just enough for us to feel surrounded by happy Mika fans.

We waited. Sitting on the floor and chewing on junk food, we waited. Then we waited some more, standing in the sun while the guards arranged the entry. While that was happening, suddenly music started playing from inside the Arena. Me and my sister jumped and turned to each other. Could it be? Was it him? We could clearly hear the instrumental to ‘Staring at the Sun’, and if we listened closely, we could even hear someone singing… I called one of the guards and asked them if it was Mika inside. They said that it was indeed him, doing the sound-check. We sang with him, ecstatic: we were hearing Mika live before the show even began!

We sat down in the sun and waited, more excited than ever.

At 6:30, the guards opened the doors. Much pushing ensued, but luckily my sister my mom and I managed to get into the Arena relatively early: we were standing in the very first row! We had made a few new friends while we were waiting, but they got lost in the crowd.

We waited another hour and a half before the first act. It was a Swiss band called ‘Jetlakes’, and they were actually very good. Their lead singer thanked Mika for having them there. I mentally thanked him too, although I still hadn’t seen him yet. When the lead singer of ‘Jetlakes’ proudly announced that he would be leaving us now with Mika, I felt my heart pound a bit harder in my chest. It was real. It was happening. I was going to see him.

We could see people moving behind the long black curtains onstage. We guessed they were the crew, and that they were preparing the set. They teased us a lot, pretending to be Mika, peaking from behind the curtains and making us laugh. As they left, a single beam of light was thrown onto the stage, right were a microphone was waiting on its perch.

Every minute seemed to linger a bit too long as we waited, for the last time. In my mind, images of Mika of course, but also many conflicting thoughts – “my goodness, this are the last few minutes I have to wait before I see him” – “right now, right now, right now; I must remember this moment” – “I should just have a good time and forget about the rest” – “but I must remember everything later; every little detail” – “right now, right now”.

And then suddenly past present and future merged. The audience roared, and into the spotlight stepped Mika, one foot at a time, as though he were slowly revealing himself to us.

Mika was standing in front of me, only a few meters away. There he stood, smiling at the sea of people at his feet. I remember the way my whole world shook, my eyes watered, my lips trembled and I couldn’t help the scream that escaped me: “MIKA!”

He was really there. My mind struggled with this fact. He became real in a way I couldn’t have imagined before seeing him there, flesh and blood and radiant smile, standing in the spotlight. He was wearing his black fireworks suit, and as he brought his open palms together, he spoke into the microphone: “Bonsoir Genève”.

His voice echoed through the Arena. He was there, truly there, and so was I. I could feel his presence. I felt his presence. My senses were flooded with Mika – I was the happiest person alive.

The first notes started playing as Mika made a small prayer (or, as he called it, “une petite prière”). It was funny and yet oddly emotional. The moment was pure, crystalline in its realness, his skin his eyes his hair his mouth moving against the microphone. His words were flying through the air, slicing through the Arena, landing right into my eager ears. He crossed himself, muttered “Amen”, and the music changed from an eerie organ to the intro of ‘Big Girl’.

I wish I could relate the entire show in its slightest details. But I’m afraid that in doing so I’d become a writer, not a storyteller. I don’t want my memories of Mika to become simple words typed onto a computer keyboard. I want my memories to remain mine. I want them to remain pure. I want them to remain unattainable, except in my mind.

What I will tell you though, is that Mika’s gig in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 1^st 2016, was one of the highlights of my life. The magic, the love, the laughter… everything was perfect. Everything was perfect.

Mika finished ‘Happy Ending’ by singing the chorus acapella and with no microphone. It was absolutely, stunningly beautiful. His voice was raw, natural, piercing and powerful.

During ‘Boom Boom Boom’ he got a pair of “BOOM” sunglasses from the audience and wore it. He then told us that he’d wear whatever we threw onstage. He quickly regretted it (“Putain,” he said into the mic) as a pair of glittery shoes were thrown onstage, as well as a scarf and a “My Little Pony” t-shirt. He wore them all though, with the shoe-laces around his neck. He looked fabulous.

During ‘Lollipop’, Mika invited a boy onstage. Apparently, the boy in question had bought a private piano lesson at last year’s French telethon, but Mika had never managed to give him the lesson. And so, to be fair, the boy was invited onstage. Mika sat him down at the piano and told him to keep playing a single note for the entire song. As you can imagine, Mika had a lot of fun during this portion of the show – jumping on the piano, (nicely) making fun of the boy, (ironically) admiring him for his great piano skills, making several jokes on how the poor lad would wake up late at night, thirty years from now, hearing that same nightmarish note.

My favorite part of the show, however, was when he unexpectedly sang ‘We Are Golden’. I wasn’t hoping for that song because someone told me that he rarely sings it anymore onstage. The surprise was enough to make me cry. ‘We Are Golden’ means so much to me; I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing it was to hear it live. Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably. I was laughing and crying and dancing and at that moment, while I was looking up at Mika, I felt free. I felt young. I felt alive.

I will never forget those precious moments of bliss. There is one image in particular that sticks to my memory, impossibly clear, undeniably one of the sweetest, most powerful visions I have: I can remember him standing on his piano while singing the bridge of ‘We Are Golden’, wearing a red flower-crown on his head, holding his hands up in the air as blue and red lights flickered behind him. It was intense. I was entranced.

I think I still might be under his spell. I think I will always, forever be under his spell.

His performance gave me goosebumps, tears and laughter. And the rest of my trip was wonderful as well. Mika was there every step of the way, guiding me, pushing me forward.

Thank you, Mika, for being who you are.

I love you, Mika. You will never know how much I love you.

• My Pictures:

I didn't take a lot of pictures, but I wanted to share the ones I took with you guys. Needless to say that these are very special pictures to me - I set 2 of them as my phone background and lockscreen. 

After the show, me and my sister stayed a bit to wait for Mika. We had presents for him. Sadly, our Meeks was tired and he left quickly: we saw his car leave. However, Max (Mika's guitarist) was there, and he came out to meet us when he saw us! 

He was absolutely adorable: such a kind, talented man! He promised to give our gifts to Mika.

Here's a picture of me and my sister with him:

Here's a picture of me in front of the poster, after the show:

I bought it yesterday from Switzerland! 

I kept looking for it for days. I live in Tunisia, and we don't get it here. So during my stay in Geneva I went into every single Swatch store looking for it. For 5 days I looked and looked and looked, hoping beyond hope. I was starting to give up. 

Then, at the airport, I walked into a Swatch store just in case and... IT WAS THERE! I WAS SO HAPPY I STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN! The employees at the store were so happy for me too haha

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL

You did such an amazing job. I'm obsessed with this song, and you gave us such an emotional and heartfelt version. Singing acappella isn't easy, but you do it perfectly. 

You hit all those high notes, and you have a very nice falsetto. Your voice is pure GOLD. 

Thank you so much for this Deb!

You girls are totally amazing I'm very impressed

 Thank you so much 

Hahaha i don't want to be disturbing but what ?! Of course i'm an MJ fan i mean come ooon he was just awsome XD

YEEEEY! MJ POWER *moonwalks* 

You're welcome, you really did an amazing job

I absolutely loved this! Your voices sound really good together and you can see you had fun doing this! Love it!

Awww thank you so much Lollie   That's so sweet of you! 

Hi everybody !

I took many, many time to do it but it has to be as good as possible to me.

It is far to be perfect but I'm really proud of this video.

It might be a little shocking but it is all facts that can't be ignore. 

Here's the link and I hope you'll enjoy this very emotional version to me.

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxvsOnaZjPn8Z0tEVHhrWkNuM2M/view?usp=sharing

Oh my Gosh Deb... you did such an amazing job. I'm speechless. What you did is just so, so beautiful..... 

I'm in love with your version of hurts!    Your voice holds so much emotion, and I can feel that you really MEAN what you're singing. You gave me goosebumps. 

Lovely piano playing as well. And the video is really amazing... for all the victims of bullying, this is like a love letter. Like an open love letter that says "you're not alone, give me your hand and everything will be alright". 

And what I love so much about the video is that you chose pictures that show different people, bullied for different reasons. You didn't leave anyone out.

At the end you showed us the positive side of things, how to make it better. 

Beautiful. Thank you so much Déborah 

Mika would be proud!

(Oh, and you have a Michael Jackson poster in your room! I couldn't help but notice it!  I'M A HUGE MJ FAN YOU HAVE NO IDEA!)

Hope it will be filmed for DVD release!

Same here! It would be PERFECT 

Omg i was there. That was awsome and it's very good to get some happy things thanks to him... I was so lucky That i found tickets... I saw hon but don't know Who was from MFC or not XD i got a beautiful autograph and i had the chance to touch him... That was soooooooo goooood !!!

DEB! OH MY GOD! Im soooo happy for you And super jealous haha! You have to tell us all about it in the reports sections! 

Can't wait to read your reports guys! I've been thinking about this all day!

 Thanks a lot Selma - for sharing this great medley!!   WOW, such lovely and talented sisters - I hope for more...

 

Love, love

me 

Thank YOU for your lovely words   It means a lot to us! More will be coming

It's sooooo cute! 

I couldnt follow this thread for a while, and then came across with this!! It is amazing! It reminded me the Evolution of Music, and I enjoyed a lot and you siblings, both, have amazing voices and are fans of Mika! How cute I really love that

Thank you so much!    I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We had fun doing it 

Hey there everyone!

I'm back with a special little something - an acapella medley with my sister Emna, aka funkylittlesister!

We came up with it in like 5 minutes, and filmed it in less, but we had lots of fun doing it! Hope you enjoy it

Strange, the other sources say the opposite.

But anyway, I'll be glad if he goes on with XF. If he needs to say goodbye to some show, it would be better the Voice. 

 I totally disagree! I prefer The Voice by far, and I'm hoping he'll stay a few more years. That being said, I still think he should continue X-Factor. He looks like he's having a lot of fun doing these shows 

I saw Le Prophète in the theatre    It's such an amazing movie, and I really want it on DVD! Thanks for the news!

Oh you're all welcome - it's my pleasure to try to give you something back, even if it's only an idea of what could be done!   Of course everything must be discussed with the mods of the MFC - if they think it's an idea they will go for.  They decide everything!    But I'm sure they'll do something special for the 10th MFC anniversary - and at least I can't come up with something better,  than try to involve  MIKA himself in the celebration of this amazing fanclub!   And if he can't , or don't want to,  give a little, exclusive private performance himself, as a birthday gift to the MFC - I'm sure he'd love to watch some of his creative and talented fans,  performing for him!      We're all here because of his music, and I'm sure it would be a wonderful moment for all of you,  to have him among "this audience" !    And if he won't be there, I think all the MFCers would LOVE to have your performances!  Of course this demands preparations of many kinds, and MIKA's a busy man - so it's obvious that he should be asked asap    BUT again - NOTHING must be done, of any kind, before you have asked the mods what they think about it!    If they agree, and think it's a good idea, they will surely take the responsability, for getting it all arranged.  Only they can do this...

 

Love, love

me

I agree with everything you said! But where can we contact the mods?

Okay, so this gos to all the gorls that are keepig this thread alive:

 

YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!

Everytime a new cover appears it makes my day and you guys make me even prouder to be in this forum!

Keep on making those beautiful covers!!!! I love you all!!!

Thank you so much  This is such a sweet message <3 I'm proud of you, all of you, too!

OMG YASSS his partners voice is out of thus world, it's DIVINE <3!!! MA Gersh you just called me a unicorn, I try my best to be one everyday, you just made my day <3!!! You are so kind, it's insane!!! Ugh just so much love and hugs and kisses for you honestly you talented legend <3!!!

AWWWW   LOVE 

Thank you- so happy you like the idea!    If I "know" our MIKA right, I suppose he would think  it was funny, and that he'd love to do this, if he could - he's SO proud of his creative fans, something he often talks about!   And we all know the skill of the mods of the MFC, when it comes to arrange the most unbelievable events...

 

Love, love

me 

THEN WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO DO THIS! How can we contact the mods?

OH MY GOD. *MIND IS BLOWN* THAT IS THE BEST IDEA EVER OMG OMG IF THIS HAPPENED IT WOULD MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE AND JUST MAKE MY LIFE.

If we're gonna make this happen we should try schedule ASAP as we know that he is a very busy, popular man!!!

OMG I CAN'T BREATHE AT THE THOUGHT

THANK YOU FOR THUS WONDERFUL BRAIN CHILD MAMIAM <3 <3 <3!!!

Ditto everything is Selma said!!!

AMYE. THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO MAKE OUR DREAM COME TRUE. Let's do it! 

That's a so beautiful idea but now WE have to make it come true ! Contact him !!!

You are absolutely right Deb, LET'S DO THIS!

We gotta start by contacting the mods of MFC and telling them about our idea. We'll show them a few covers, tell them how much this would mean to us, etc. After that they'll tell us more about what to do.

Hi girls! 

Lots of wonderful new covers,  since I last wrote here!    I'm so happy that you keep up your good work, and share your talent, and beautfiul versions of songs, that  we all love!!     If I was a boss in the MFC,  I would really try to do as much as possible,  to use it  for the 10th MFC anniversary, coming up 5.1.2017    My highest wish then,  would be to ask MIKA to come and perform at a private party, where MFCers could celebrate 10 amazing years, and to gather all of you,  to be his choir, or to sing solo with him    If he can't accept an invitation from MFC, for one reason or another, I would ask all of you singers here,  to come and give a concert with MIKA songs,  for the happening  And if that's impossible to arrange, because you're all busy with school, studies, work etc. I would present your performings - at a big screen, where the party is hold!   Just some ideas, but now I feel that all your efforts, with these fantastic results,  should be used, and given the best attention possible.  You're all truly amazing - and I'm really proud of you !!!  

 

Love, love

me

OH. MY. GOD.

This is the BEST idea ever. We should totally try to do something like this for MFC's 10th anniversary! A private show, with Mika of course, and he doesn't necessarily have to perform (although of course that would be PERFECT, but I'm not sure how these things work, and he probably won't perform at events for free, you know? That's his job after all.) We could organize a private show, where MFCers can sing covers of Mika's songs, and he'll be there. It'll be like a huge tribute. And we could have other activities as well. 

My dream is to sing in front of Mika - although I'd probably freak out a little, haha. And I'm sure all the talented MFCers would love to do so as well! We should try to get this organized! Who should I talk to about this? 

Thank you so much for this wonderful idea Mamiam! And thank you for all the compliments 

*is shocked*

Oh, oh... Oh My God!!! Wow.

I do not know what to say, that is the most incredible and mind blowing credit I've ever got for my singing in my whole life, I cannot tell you what this means to me, your insanely kind words will stay for me for the rest of my singing career and always serve as a reminder to believe in myself and be confident. Wow. I AM SO OVERJOYED RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU, I HAVE TURNED INTO AN ECSTATIC CHICKEN ALSO    

Okay, first of al hehehe, a combo of mermaid and fairy works for me, they're to of my fave mythical creatures, so wow awk bless you're so kind, that is a huge compliment, no one's told me I look that nice before    !!!

I am SOOOO honoured and proud that I did your ultimate love song proud for you and didn't tarnish your love for it, the fact that you love it even more, means so much to me!!! I did NOT know that Mika sang it, and I just watched it and good heavens above, that is the most stunning sound I have ever heard in my life, tat performance deserves some sort of award, oh my gosh !!! Thank you so much for introducing me to it babe !!!

I would take your heart and soul and cherish it forever , oh my goodness, you just paid me the biggest compliment of my life, WOW!!! Ugh THIS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU    

I am so honoured, this coming from one of my favourite artists

Gosh, thank you so much!   I can't tell you how happy you've made me. And how encouraging your words are!

@Selma:

I already told you I love your cover of 'One Foot Boy' but I can't say it enough. It's quite an up-beat song but you managed to make it soothing at the same time. Also, don't worry about how you look because you ALWAYS look cute, okay? The (lack of) lighting didn't bother me either, it actually creates a nice setting imo

I've listened to it a couple times already and added it to my 'totsawesome' playlist on youtube haha 

Tessa, you're too kind!    Thank you so much, I'm so glad you liked my cover, I hope I can keep making you happy through music! If you have another request for another song, I'll take it!

HELLO FELLOW CRAZY EARTHLINGS WHOM I LOVE MOST DEARLY

 

So I know I have been promising a cover for some time now, and I haven't forgotten about y'all, I've just been working hard on this cover as it is not a Mika song.

I really hope you enjoy this   

Please excuse my dreadful appearance today, I have had so so little sleep lately and didn't have time to put make up on, so I wouldn't blame ya if yas listened with your eyes closed, I was beyond the realm of caring I was just so excited to properly sing for you guys, feeling really good despite lack of sleep hahaha, I should take a leaf out of Selmas book and do it in the dark so everywhere else is lit up by my face, but I'm not that mysterious lol  !!!

I present, your song by Ellie Goulding with my little twist on at the end.

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByriwyoX4NkITGc4MEthdDcwc3M/view?usp=sharing

 

Lots of Love,

Blue Eyes

I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO CELEBRATE THE NEW AMYE COVER 

I'm not even sure where to start!!!! It's so PERFECT on so many levels!!!!! AND I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY OHMEGOSH WHERE SHOULD I START? 

Okay. Okay *takes deep breath* first of all: what are you even talking about? YOU LOOK GREAT. YOU LITERALLY LOOK LIKE A MERMAID. OR A FAIRY. OR A MAGICAL COMBINATION OF BOTH. 

And the choice of song is perfect. You have no idea what this song means to me; I've cried listening to it more times than I can remember. It's the ULTIMATE love song to me, and it reminds me of... well, many things 

The first time I heard "Your Song", it was the flawless Elton John version of course. The Moulin Rouge version is amazing too. Ellie Goulding did a wonderful job with her own arragement. I cried so hard listening to Mika sing it.

And now you, Amye. What you did is MAGICAL. You poured your soul into the music. You gave me goosebumps during the "yours are the sweetest eyes" verse. You made me want to give you my heart and soul. THAT, that is Art.

You have such an amazing voice. You hit those really high notes and then go back down to grab the lower ones. And you make it look easy (God knows it's not!).

I bow down to thee, O Great Amye 

SELMAAAAAAAAAA MY CRAZY MYSTERIOUS AND DIVINE SAD CHICKEN WHO MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A HAPPY CHICKEN!!!

THIS IS OFF THE HOOK I LOVE IT SO VERY MUCH THANK YOUR FOR GRACING US WITH YOUR PRESCENCE AND TALENT, I'M SO HAPPY, CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE         !!!

I know I look really shady and mysterious in the One Foot Boy video, but I swear I didn't do it on purpose   I thought the light would be enough, and I was too lazy to record it again when I found it it was too dark (I'm Lazy & I Know It)

AAAAAH THANK YOU SO MUCH   I'M SO GLAD I MAKE YOU A HAPPY CHICKEN. THIS SAD CHICKEN HAD SUDDENLY TURNED INTO AN ECSTATIC  CHICKEN
