  1. I have the feeling that the use of backing vocals changes in between the concerts of the tour. There are some songs where they are used quite frequently (e.g. relax, sweetie banana or feels like fire) and in others they seem to be more flexibly used (moi, andy et Paris, grace kelly or love today) It's especially different what the mixing ratio of live vocals and backing tracks is like from gig to gig. Sometimes he doesn't sing the very difficult parts and relies on the backing vocals for them, sometimes they sing together ;-) and sometimes they are actually only backing vocals (or not there at all :)). I have the feeling that over the course of the tour, Mika has relied on his live singing more and and more compared to the beginning which makes me very happy as i love to hear his voice as much as possible. :)
  2. I totally understand why mika uses backing tracks for the chorus of the dance falsetto songs such as rain or relax (he has done it for quite some years, and these parts are so difficult to sing) especially if it's more of a backing vocals thing. However, I just like to hear his actual voice as it is both beautiful and can convey so many emotions, that's why i love the live versions of songs like happy ending. And i like to hear it as purely as possible. I don't really understand the use of pre recorded backing tracks/ doubling of the main vocals (i mean it's a different thing with actual background singers) for the songs where there is not so much falsetto or which are much calmer. Mika's voice is so beautiful and touching and i would love to hear it more in songs like moi, Andy & paris or feels like fire. It's strange when his voice is almost as loud as before when he is not singing at all as in the video of the former and it makes it more difficult to follow his actual singing. I'm glad somebody else also noticed that, i thought it was crazy. I used to be a big Michael jackson fan as a teen and that game of differentiating between live and playback has bizarrely been a big game in these years, also in fanclubs xD (and Michael jackson lip synced a lot, in that case we were always searching for the tiny bits of his actual singing voice in his performances xD)
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=603ml0bZ2yc&t=176s Hey, I watched Vanessa's video of Moi, andy & Paris youtube and wondered for a moment if Mika was (partly) lip syncing, first I thought there were only effects on his voice, but at 2:56, you hear his voice without him singing in the mic. I really wouldn't assume that (especially as it is not such a difficult song) but I was kind of surprised watching the video. However, I had a similar feeling, considering the effects on the voice on some other songs such as Apocalpyse Calpyso or Feels like Fire...Do you know what is done with the voice in these songs? It's a totally different feeling than with many other songs such as Happy Ending or 30 seconds or Grace Kelly I definitely don't think he is lip syncing all the songs but there is something different about the way his voice is recorded (not only the pitch of these songs)...
  4. For the last tours he also started with around 20-21 songs and reduced it to 16-18 songs over the course of the tour. Maybe he is a bit over ambitious at the beginning;-).
  5. We are Golden was played before as well, just at another place in the setlist. And He skipped Popular Song this time. So the setlist has the same length as the first gig in Clermont-Ferrand. I'm very happy that Origin is back though
  6. Both these concerts are so close to where I live and I planned to be on holidays too. I must think about it. By the way, front of stage tickets in Bonn seem to be already sold out...
  7. I really hope the concert can take place. It's strange how extremely few tickets were sold til now.
  8. I also really miss some songs (tiny love as one of my absolute faves, or Rain or Boum boum boum, lollipop or Origin of love (as i would have hoped for them, there are of course also some songs like my all time faves toy boy and billy brown i would like mika to sing but i would have never expected them. I would have also loved to hear Passager. However, I think it's an interesting and long setlist with some very cool and surprising choices such as Any other World and talk about you (I'm so happy about them!) and i'm sure it makes even more sense in the concept of the whole show.
  9. Does anyone still have the full concert video? It got deleted from Youtube apparently due to copyright reasons....
  10. Does anyone have an idea if and when this song might be released? When do you think it will be time for the next English album?
  11. I don't think it's the complete one as i created that one from Videos i saw and the concerts before but i'm not Sure about the order and probably some Songs are missing.. they probably just took mine from setlist.fm ;-)
