      Mine is Stardust orchestra and this one

       

       

  2.  

    I miss the days when it was possible to decide at the last minute that you cross the borders of three countries to see your favourite musician live, when all you had to do was to buy a bus ticket, book a hotel room and enjoy the trip... :making-a-wish:

      Apart from seeing my friends and family, concerts are the things I miss most.  I truly miss having something to look forward to - the anticipation before the gig, meeting other fans, enjoying the live music.  I long for the day when concerts return.  At least the vaccine gives us some hope...

      @teenagedreamer98 Me too, concerts and travels are the things that give me the most joy, that I always look forward to and that make me happy for many days...  :emot-sad: I know there are bigger problems, at least I can see the majority of my family because I live with them so I'm not alone but I really miss these things. I miss the excitement, the tiredness, the anticipation, the planning, all of it.

      Even the discomfort like sleeping on a bus and waking up so tired but you don't really care (or you do but not for a long time :teehee:),because you arrived at a new destination... Even these little things. 

  3. Shawn Mendes fans may discover Grace Kelly now... :lmfao:

      I prefer easier solutions even if it takes longer :wink2:

      I'm actually still not sure if I'm going as it would be quite expensive to stay alone in the apartment and I also haven't bought a ticket yet... I have 2 weeks to cancel the reservation, then I have to pay.

    4. Dominika

      Dominika

      I thought about it too and there would be no point for me to travel so many hours just for the gig :sad: but I have on my mind Bari tho. I already found qute cheap hotel for 2 and direct flight tickets :biggrin2:

  5.  

    Do you already have the right shoes for the tour? :naughty:

      silver

      You just need shoes that are really comfortable (and that you can dance in :naughty: )

  6. Tbh Relax never was my favourite song by Mika (even though it is the song I hear most often on radio), but I still really liked this performance... :wink2:

  7. Nice cover... P.S. I'm making the christmas cards, hopefully they'll be finished soon and arrive on time! :newyear:

    1. Dominika

      Dominika

      Their version it's so fresh! But the original still wins for me :biggrin2: Good luck with making cards :thumb_yello:

  8. Yesterday I was at this amazing concert... It was my second time seeing Álvaro and his great band live and I really enjoyed it. Just out of curiosity, are here any fans of him? :fisch:

      Loverboy great song. I adore it :wub2:

    3. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      Me too... I love almost all "bonus tracks" (some of them even more than some "regular" tracks). :lmfao:

    4. Dominika

      Dominika

      @giraffeandy I have the same :biggrin2: Sometimes I would like to change regular songs with the bonus tracks :wink2: But then probably nobody would like to buy deluxe editions :lmfao:

       

  10. Sometimes I wake up with a song on my mind and I have the song stuck in my head for the whole day...

    Yeah, it's mostly a song by Mika. :biggrin2: Today I'm listening since morning to this one.

  11. I used to be a really big fan of her and I still like her, especially her older music, but the new song is so good... It's about her illness (she had Lyme disease in the past years) and it almost made me cry, it's so emotional.

      @Lilyen :lmfao: Skater Boy was my favourite song when I was like 11, we used to sing it with my best friend all the time. And a few days ago I heard My Happy Ending on the radio and realized I still know all the lyrics, such a great song. 

    4. Lilyen

      Lilyen

      yes!! Nostalgy of my teenager-years.......:punk::glasses2::lmfao:

  12. *trying to introduce Mika to a friend while chatting*

     

    Me (sending a link to the Ice Cream performance): I'm addicted to this song right now, it's not out yet but I couldn't wait because I adore Mika.

     

    My friend: He looks so good! He is half Lebanese, right?

     

    Well, not exactly the reaction I was expecting... :teehee:

  13. :excite: A new live album and another digital release... I guess it's time for a new DIY! :teehee:

  14. :fisch: Today I bought the deluxe edition of NPIH even though I already have the special edition, but I went to a music shop and looked for the Meaning of Life (literally, it's the title of the new album by Kelly Clarkson) and I checked, how many albums by my favorite artists they have in store. And I saw, they had all four albums by MIKA including the special edition and that the deluxe edition is on sale... Yeah, I just couldn't resist, because NPIH is my favorite album! :lmfao: Do you also buy multiple versions of the same album?

  19. SOS, please, are there any fans who ordered the I Love Beirut T-shirt from https://shop.virginemi.com/mika/?

    I've paid for it on the 11. 9. I didn't receive it until now. Today the store charged me AGAIN. They charged the amount from my credit card today at night. I've already paid for the T-shirt and I didn't even get a shipping confirmation and now I have to pay once more? Does that happen to anybody else?

      @silver I've checked my bank account again and it seems that they actually cancelled the payment from September and they charged it today. But I haven't noticed back then because in September, we were buying quite a lot of things... However, they could at least inform the customers that they will charge them later because I was sure I've already paid in September.

    3. silver

      silver

      Well, at least they have not charged you twice. Quite a lot of companies take your payment details but only actually charge you when they despatch the goods.  Maybe the September charge was their error and they refunded when they realised it.  But I agree, they could have let you know what was happening.

    4. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      @silver I've already ordered there once and back then I've paid immediately even though it still took a few days till the order has been dispatched... They probably realized they won't have the T-shirts in stock for a while so they decided to charge the money later but it would be nice to let me know because once I've got the payment confirmation and I've seen the amount on my bank account as blocked, I haven't checked afterwards if the payment was made for real. I know booking.com does that sometimes when they want to check if the client has enough money to pay the stay but I've never experienced that with a store.

  20. ❤️ Merry Christmas to all of you! :newyear:

      Girls have a wonderful christmas time!!!:hug:

  21. A radio station I'm listening to just announced they will play a song by Mika. I sent them Ice Cream weeks ago and they promised to consider it but I'm still expecting Relax or Grace Kelly instead. Then they announced they will talk about ice cream. *gets a little bit excited, maybe there's hope after all* And then they played Grace Kelly... :banghead:

    1. Mikasister

      Mikasister

      It's the same old story. Maybe if Mika promoted the single there...again the same old story. Promo in the same places where there's no need, or at least not so much because he is well known :sad:

    2. Paoletta

      Paoletta

      :dunno: no why? still  Grace Kelly the new single is Ice Cream uff... maybe when the album go out they played  this song i hope :crossed: @giraffeandy don't worry :emot-sad: 

  22. After hearing Dear Jealousy at Sephora once and Ice Cream at Zara a couple of months ago, today I've heard Tomorrow at Peek&Cloppenburg... I guess I should go shopping more often. :teehee: Fun fact: the last two times this happened to me I was wearing the tote bag from the Revelation Tour. 

    1. Paoletta

      Paoletta

      woow.. also me have a tote bag from revelation tour

  23. An hour ago I arrived to Bolzano, I took the bus, found the hotel, checked in, found the venue and now I'm already 15 minutes queueing... I feel more sucessful and powerful than ever. :glasses3:

      @Mikasister Thank you, I wasn't sure if travelling alone is a good idea but now I'm glad I did it... 🙂

      How was the show?

    4. giraffeandy

      giraffeandy

      @Mikasister Great, finally I got to see the big show with the stage even though I have to say in Zürich the setlist was better and I also didn't understand most of the things he said in Italian yesterday but the show was definitely worth it and I had a great view again so I'm really glad I went! 

  24. As the schools are closed in many countries, let's begin with a lesson of geography... :biggrin2:

    (it's quite old so it's not really up-to-date anymore but I think it's still really catchy...)

      Btw, I also noticed that some countries in the Central Asia are missing like Kazakhstan, I guess they were still part of Russia back then so also don't forget about these, kids! :naughty:
