Mika learned from fans how to make small heart with one hand (aka Korean heart) in this concert! Love!

By the way, who's 'Coldplay'?

Oh, still on-going your conversation here... wow... looks like endless.... I can easily guess this may happen again before/after MIKA’s another UK gig soon…… I’m a newbie and not westerner. (Naturally, I have huge language barrier and my English is actually very very terrible…sorry for this in advance.) As a person who I think myself a little remote-from-this-issue, your (‘SOME’ British fans who are talking here, incl, Jemxx) saying gives me the following impression. (If these are not correct, blame me 50%..(lack of my understanding), But another 50% maybe goes to you, because it’s YOU to give that impression anyway… hahaha...Hope I can make it clear that I am not in the business of castigating people here, just want to know what happens now.) ->Mika is a British Pop musician(or just contemporary pop musician?). He started his pop music career with that background and got the fame in UK first. And we British fans hope he can get much bigger position as a British pop star (like, Adele) here or in mainstream market(such as US). -> Unfortunately, he now seems to be affected by other countries’ cultures(such as France, Italy, etc.) so much in his music, and it definitely does not work in UK market. I do not like some of that music, either. This is real situation. We are worrying… If he really wants to sing those songs, he can do in those countries, but not in UK gig. We are British. He should sing English songs (or more British style songs) here – not the songs in other languages. 'Mika, please listen what we want!' -> Furthermore, he seems to abandon us, in order to expand his market in other countries. It’s obvious how he can have only 1 gig in UK in 3 years (surprised, indeed.), while he was doing lots of gigs outside? And even he sang a French song here? 'Please Mika, Don’t forget where your music was born and consider the fan here more carefully'. -> 'Mika, we are your fans who love you and support you. We spend our own money to see your gig, so we believe we can say to you what we want. Frankly speaking, we British fans are really worrying about your current position as a British pop musician. Your recent albums did not go well in UK. If you do better more here, you can be almost the 2nd Freddie Mercury, a great pop musician, not lounge singer… We are not your enemy, We are fans who give you a sincere advice, Mika, so please listen what we are saying…' I think you guys had really good times with him under that British mood at first, and hope to hold that experience continuously. (It's very natural, or course.) That's why you seem to have a strong image/wish to him to be a certain person… and force him to do that, which cannot be successful even by his mom. (All she wants is another son - ‘a son with a wife and a big living room.') He may not be comfortable with this situation, as he gets identity mad??? (^^ ) He may feel pressure and show some negative reactions, as it is related to his trauma??? (I don’t know…, just guessing...) Mika is moving forward, whether you like that direction or not. But who knows? He can be a great musician through those international musical backgrounds? Also he can sing his songs with Orchestra, which other British pop stars cannot do. Honestly, I fully understand that kind of ‘deep sense of loss (I may feel the exactly same thing, if it happens to me.)’, and believe your actions come from your deepest love to him. But I would like to say that maybe the most important thing to him is your understanding of him. If he is accepted as he is, and cheered by you in his hometown, that can be the biggest thing to him ever, I guess. Because you are privileged. You are his home base! This is unchangeable fact. (Think about the NZ fan!) (Hope my saying does NOT(!) make any disturbance and bother any of you… if it happens, I'll delete my post immediately...)
