I wanted to ask too if we could organise something for Cattolica! If I’ll manage to come I’d be willing to help of course  

I was thinking of creating a flower with coloured papers (to distribute on each seat at the beginning) but I'm not sure if it would turn out well though. I think the seats are all on the same level (not like Carcassonne where the further you go from the stage, the higher the seats are) so I wonder if the flower would be recognisable…

@mellody idea is similar and I’d love both but again I don’t know if it’s clear that we’re creating a flower (just imagine a smaller person  hidden by a taller one… his/her paper or light can’t be seen right?) 

But if you know the Arena better than me and think that it’s doable, we can think of creating something based on the seat map!
I’d say distributing papers is the easiest thing to organise and prepare with short advance. 
 

Ah, doing something related to the “pink night” is also a good and original idea, that will remind us of this particular gig/weekend/region

She and another French fan took it upon themselves to discuss the good experience they had in Bristol with security, who were more than willing to cooperate. Hats off to not only them for organizing it, but to every other fan and audience member by being so willing to follow. In the recent Korean video interview Mika speaks about how impressed he that the fans organize themselves, well, I must say that this was definitely one of those moments.

This is amazing, if only we could organize and make this happen each single time in the future... We should make it our tradition, and we'll be remembered (by non-fans) as the ones who can organize and patiently enter the venues 

btw I'm loving to see all these MFC gatherings and group activities during queue time, makes me want to queue... well, at least spend some time together lol!

The (HUGE!) flowers indicate for me the (blossoming) line of beauty in it all.

Love your interpretation!

I think Mika and Vianney performance was recorded last night. I saw on twitter that last night he took some photos with fans outside the arena. It seems strange to me that they rehearsed yesterday and not today and the part that tf1 posted on Ig as rehearsal is not credible because he wore already the scene suit and had perfect hair, while usually during rehearsal he is casually dressed and he wears a cap. And then there is the story at the station. If he was sleeping outside Nimes the production would have accompanied him to the venue by car, I doubt they  would have let him take a train on his own. And IOW is not easy to reach in only half a day. 

I'm quite sure it was pre-recorded the night before (as they often do with him in France when he has other things to do), they only showed either the stage or the audience, never both together, and also in wider shots of the stage you can see some people's heads 'used' to create an audience but it's clear that it's not yesterday's audience

+ in a TF1 ig story there is only Vianney together with other artists

You can submit your questions in English or Italian, but if in Italian please send a rough translation in English text.

Am I allowed to mix up languages/use three languages in a sentence as he usually does? 🤣 

Hi everyone! Just find out that Mika's gig in Cattolica will be during the "Notte Rosa" (pink night) weekend (7th-9th July 2023), which is a BIG thing during summer in that part of the region, all coastal towns are concerned and Cattolica is one of them.

It's a big event where loooots of events, free concerts and night clubs are organised on the beach and open all night. It's really famous in my region because literally everyone go there to party all night.

If you google "notte rosa" you'll see what it looks like 😅

(And pink is the colour of the weekend so everyone wears a pink hat/tshirt or detail - that could be a FA idea for us...)

All of this to warn you that it'll be a really cahotic weekend and it can be that hotels are more expensive and/or even already fully booked for those days...

Did anyone find a way to watch BBC One live from abroad? 

(I don’t know where to write this, feel free to move it to another thread)

Mika will be Fiorello’s guest on his show “Viva Rai2” on Friday morning (Rome)!  

Fiorello was on stage with Mika during his concert in Sardinia last year during EMD, and he hosts a morning tv show on Rai2 from 7:15 to 8 am every morning.
Guests usually perform (with and/or without him) or talk about new films or projects according to their career, but that’s not always the case, so who knows… maybe he just go there and comment Eurovision? Or does he really have something to tell us? 
 

(Since I’m in France I already can tell you that the show isn’t available outside Italy on replay, but hopefully we’ll find a way to share it as always!)

I have no information about this, but I want to draw your attention to the fact that there is a public transport strike in Paris and in France in general on January 26th.

 

 

The link below (sorry it is in French) is how it was on January 19th (most public transport was running but less often). It will likely be similar on January 26th. Maybe someone has more information on this?

I think the 26th was proposed as a day of strike as well as the 31st, and at the end they have decided to do it on the 31st as Celine mentioned. I think there won’t be any strike on the 26th.

Does he have a signature style? Guitar, obviously.  Most typical song?

Yes, guitar solo for sure! His voice timbre is quite particular as well, and his lyrics are so well written (both for the meaning of the songs and the words he uses)! You should really translate some of them in order to understand...

And he wrote both ballads and dance and funny ones. 

I can share here a few videos I took during his concerts (but you can find more on my IG stories highlights @viirgola if you want  )

I wonder… will it be in English? Is the single called “keep it simple” or is it the general concept of maybe more songs? Will it be all acoustic? Will there be more????? 

I think It's the title and my guess is that it'll probably be half English and half French!

He had the same cover concept with Ed Sheeran and their song is half English and half French as well, soo...  (if you haven't heard it yet, I recommend it 🤪)

And for the record, he managed to get them wrong even that time, when the paper was literally under his eyes

“Wrong Leo Ascending”, is the first person story of EMMA. An unpublished portrait of the artist, of his talent and of his strong determination. On and off stage. A candid account of the woman, her courage and her frailties, which are her greatest strength.

 

 

Here is the parts of Mika :

 

Files are presented by @virgi

 

 

I don't know if it's the right thread to share a translation in, but anyway here it is:

1) Xfactor demi-finale  

E: Tu te caches où ? Regarde, regarde

M: Quelle determination dans la façon dont tu frappes à la porte. “Frappes” on dit ça ?

E: Oui

M: Coucou

E: Coucou

M: Bonsoir

E: Qu’est-ce que tu es beau

M: C’est ma soeur qui l'a fait

E: Je sais. Tu ne m’as jamais rien offert de ta soeur.

M: Je t’offrirai tout ce que tu veux

E: Quel menteur

M: Ça va ?

E: Je suis fatiguée

M: Allez ! 

E: Je vais me maquiller et me coiffer. À tout à l’heure... Toi aussi! Salut mon coeur

M: Salut

E:

Mais tous les vêtements de Mika sont encore là ? Il est fou ?

Tout ça est à Mika. Et parfois il ose dire “Mais je sais jamais quoi me mettre”... 

“J’ai très peu de chaussures”, il a peu de chaussures…

“Je mets quoi ? Je sais jamais quoi me mettre”

2) Sanremo 2022

M: Tu es très belle !

E: Merci mon coeur. C’est bien.. tu vois je suis arrivée en même temps que toi… ça va aller, n’est-ce pas ? J’ai peur.

M: Tu est terrorisée

E: Non, j’ai un peu peur

M: Ça va !

1) Xfactor Semifinal  

E: Where are you hiding? Look, look

M: How determined you're knocking on the door. “Knock”, is it correct?

E: Yes

M: Hello

E: Hi

M: Good evening

E: You're beautiful

M: This is my sister's work 

E: I know. You never gave me anything produced by your sister.

M: I'll give you anything you like 

E: You're a liar. 

M: How are you ?

E: I'm tired

M: Come on ! 

E: I'm going to do my haïr and make up. See you later... You have to as well! Bye baby

M: Bye

E:

All Mika's outfits are still here? Is he crazy?

This is all Mika's stuff. And sometimes he even dares to say, "but I have nothing to wear." 

“I don't have so many shoes”, he doesn't have so many shoes…

“What do I wear? I have nothing to wear”

2) Sanremo 2022

M: You're beautiful!

E: Thank you baby. So cool.. you see, we arrived at the same time… It's going to be ok, isn't it? I'm afraid.

M: You're terrified

E: No, I'm a bit afraid

M: It's ok!

And I'd like to see other videos from the opposite angle as well, even if I'm short and I was hiding (unintentionally ofc) behind someone's back

I tried several times during the weekend but it always says that my video is too heavy, even if I cut it… let’s try again 🤞🏻

I'd like to find out the same   Before Mika came out I was behind Michelle, but when I felt people pushing I left the group and went in the back and didn't get any photo or video. I think we were close to each other and it's possible to be on @virgi video, I remember she was filming from the opposite angle.

This turned into a group photo when I think one of the production people took a photo of all of us with his phone (I later asked him to air drop it to me and it turned out to be a Live Photo, so even better😁)

I didn't notice this! Would you like to share the pic? I'm curious ☺️

@dcdeb  What do you think Deb? It would be funny to see their faces

Then Claudia Winkleman will go “Is this normal? Do you usually come from all over the place and speak 7 languages at the same time!?”

 

Us: “Yes.”

Mika: *nods in agreement*

That would be my favourite scene ever 😂

I think my friend applied as well, so maybe Deb took her contact from her application and gave it to the Southbank Centre? I'll see if she gets an email too! 

And this was the case

Which row is your ticket?

Mine is row S, seat 3 so I guess we have a section of the front stalls on the right (looking at the stage).
