My favorite flowers are roses. So please one big rose from me in Mika's bouquet

A few days after the show I think I am able to write at last my report So this was my first festival and I was not sure what to expect at all. At the beginning I was worrying about the weather - but about rain not about the heat that was waiting for us in Switzerland! I had a beautiful hotel room with a view on the river. Only thing - there was not air condition. Just a electric fan. So at night it was very hot and I couldn't sleep. But who cares. We came to Geneva for MIKA!!!!! The evening before the show I met (Andrea) @Hero and Karin @mellody and her son just to spend a little time in a creperie next to a boat port at the Leman lake (called as well Geniva lake). As @Prisca was so nice to be my driver to the Caribana festival we met the next day at the train station and then with Andrea we took the road to the venue. We arrived about 11am and a small group of Mika fans was already there. Just for explanation - there were ONLY Mika fans As the gate was not closed we were able to enter the venue and watch the soundcheck. The whole band was present except Mika. I was very happy to see that the venue was pretty small and even people standing in the back were able to see the stage. I distributed paper fans I created for this concert. Well it should be for Yo-Yo fan action but I am not sure if it worked. Mika was singing this song with closed eyes almost along the whole song. But anyway the fans were very useful as the temperature was about 30 degrees in the shade. After the soundcheck we were asked to leave the venue. We went to eat something to the only restaurant in the area. It happened that they were serving food to the festival artists! So when we arrived there I have seen Max, Wouter and somme other Mika team members. A part of the restaurant was dedicated to the artists but the waitress found the last table for us: me, Nina, Prisca and Andrea. When I was in the toilets I met Louane. She was a bit lost so I showed her the entrance to the reserved part of the restaurant. We order some food and spent some time talking about everything: for example about gluten free food. Nina is allergic to gluten and didn't want to eat anything suspected to have gluten. Then we came back to the queue. The gate supposed to be opened at 5:30 pm so we still had time. As long as we were in the shade it was OK. But about 4:30 the security crew started to organize the entrance and we had to move to the sun. Paper fans were are only help! They opened the gate at time (we were in Switzerland, right? ) We rushed to the barrier in front of the stage. And you know what? Only Mika fans arrived there! Everybody had the first row After a while the first show of the big stage started. It was a Swiss group Klischee. They played a very rhythmic sort of music - perfect for Zumba exercises. Actually the lead singer did a full hour Zumba lesson jumping like crazy on the stage. Don't forget the heat of 30 degrees at least!!!!! Everybody had a great time. We were dancing and laughing. At that time the place in front of the big stage was not full. We were able to go out to buy something to eat or drink and go back to our places at the first row. After Klischee there was one hour break. Other artist was performing on the small stage. During this time the preparation for Louane concert started as she had a pretty complicated scenography with stairs, platforms and lights. She gave a very good show. The audience was singing with her. Most of them was teenage girls. What was nice that security members took some small children and let them sit very close to the stage passing them over the barrier of "our first row" Only one comment on Louane's show - she was not in so close contact with the public like Klischee - and of couse like Mika. The venue became crowded and we have learned that the day was sold out! After Louane there was another switch of props on the stage and a part of the audience had to move back to make the place for the equipment. I was not in that part but I was worrying if Mika fans were able to take back their first row places. As I heard after the show not all had this luck. But they still were very close. Then at 11:30 I have seen white suits of Mika's band at the backstage. Don't forget - we were in Switzerland . I have checked my first video in my mobile. The show started at 11:35 !!!! The audience became crazy!!!!!!!!!! During the intro to Lollipop Mika entered the stage in his pale blue suit and set down on the piano. We had the first funny moment - well funny for us not for Mika. The big spotlight attracted flies and mosquitos! They were flying around his head and poor Mika was doing everything not to panic. He ever made a speech to mosquitos. "We have a war tonight" But he gave up saying : OK. Eat me if you want. I have a concert here to do. So stop annoying me. Here is my video with the beginning. As I was just in from of the bass speakers the sound on my videos has been ruined Next song was Origin Of Love. Mika was running from left ro right. And when he was just in front of me and when we had an eye contact I waved to him with my hand. Just to say hello. And ... he made a beautiful bow to me. Generally he was very happy to be on stage in front of the public and he even mentioned it twice during the gig. Big Girl starts and .... Mika is jumping down from the stage!!!! He had a very "close contact" with some of his fans: stepped on someone's foot, sit down on someone's hand on the barrier, pushed someone in the crowd... well usual thing on Mika's walk in the crowd I was surprised to hear the beginning of Boum Boum Boum!!!! I was hoping Mika would make his "hip dance". Well he didn't do it. But it was the first time I've seen this song live . Before singing Yo-Yo he explained again the idea of the video. And that dancers were representing different parts of human body. But his nephew interpreted red cells as dancing Babybels. Karin distributed a package of Babybels between us but I couldn't fin mine in my bag during the song... Mika is very concentrated singing Yo-Yo. His eyes were closed or half closed. So he didn't se a Babybel landing on the stage (Karin) nor my paper fan with was pale blue like Mika's suit. Next song was Relax and actually I was not supposed to film it but when I saw a beautiful light show I pressed the button on my mobile. Another great moment was Underewater. At this song we can always expect something new. Each time it's different. Each time the interaction can become a beautiful show. As we were in the French speaking part of Switzerland Mika sang another song in French. Elle Me Dit. And you know what? He didn't make any single mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The public did!!!! I like the moment when he's running to the mic And we can hear the audience singing along. I will not mention Love Today. I didn't film it because I wanted to jump and dance with everybody And the final We Are Gloden. At last I was able to see this beautiful cape in real. At the end Mika said again that he is so happy to see us again. To see our faces. To see our mouths. And saying goodbye he mentioned once again his brother who was going to get married next day - actually it was this day because it was already 1am. After the show we were wondering in which country the wedding will take place. Now we know it was in Firenze. So Mika was flying to Italy just after the concert. There was no "encore" so we left the venue after all these hours. We were hoping to see Mika leaving. But as we knew that he was in a hurry to join his family for Fortune's wedding we didn't expect too much. First we were waiting at the entrance for artists. But after 30-45 minutes we decided to go to the other side of the venue - where the restaurant is. Just a slow walk on our hurting feet. When we arrived to the small path leading to the restaurant there was a lady who said that we cannot enter now. We have to wait 10 minutes. I just tuned my head to talk to the girls and when I turned my head back I've seen a black taxi slowly passing by. The car stops for 3 seconds. The passenger windshield goes down and.... we can see smiling Mika's face!!!! We started to scream: Mika, thank you, bye..... He waved his hand and is gone. It was our cherry on top of the cake The timing was perfect. Now we could walk back to the car and drive back to Geneva. I want to thank @Prisca again for being our driver She left me at the train station (I had only 5 minutes walk to my hotel) and she drove to the airport to drop off Nina and Cythia. They had early morning flights. I came back to my hotel room. It was hard to fall asleep not only because of the heat. So many wonderful moments we had this day!!!! So thank you once again all Mika fans I met. Next day I was still in Geneva so in the afternoon I spent some time with other fans at the food truck festival. We were talking about everything and were able to learn more about each other. I know that when I go for a Mika concert I will never be alone. I know fans from so many different countries. And this is something you can't evaluate. We are golden. On Saturday morning at the airport I met Michelle @holdingyourdrink I was very happy that we could spend 30 minutes together and exchange our thoughts about Mika. Next time see you in LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly. I wonder if this was Mika laugh. And printed Babybels on white sheets of paper

I am just listening to Bolero and I thought about a possibility of seeing Mika with Baby K. Like he did with Michele Bravi two years ago with Bella d'estate

I don't even have a shower. I have a bathtube... Maybe I could draw something on my bath mirror????

I have just read that because of the strikes Brussels airport half of flights has been cancelled! I hope fans will not be blocked in Belgium!

Stories from Remi_Ferbus a backline drummer. I put 3 stories together. Backstage view. YouCut_20220620_111254107.mp4

Max sings live. But I think that there are additional recorded backing vocals during the show. It makes better effect of the whole surrounding sounds. We can hear it during the sound check. Here Mika was absent so one of technicians checked Mika's mic. VID_20220616_120306013.mp4 VID_20220616_120426783.mp4

Nina posted Ice Cream on YouTube.

What a pleasure to hear this so refreshing song!!!!! It looks like he was laughing because someone has something funny oh his head (?) And this stage is huuuuuuge!

Wow! Mika performing in a daylight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Maybe one day I will see a gig like this. So far I could see Mika only at night or in an artificial light...

Thank you Romy for your videos on YoyTube

Speaking of the Klischee band. Here is a nice "selfie" during their performance. Who we can see in the first row? Klischee fans?????? Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Mika fans!!!!!!!!!!!!! One by one https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=599924615030092&set=a.246206780401879

You mean Batman? Yes, I met YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God that I found youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!

Today while going to the airport I took a free Metro newspaper from Friday ( a day after "our" evening). Good surprise: there is something about Caribana festival from the 16th of June. Bad surprise: they don't mention Mika at all ☹️ How could they do it to us????? BTW - at the airport I have seen a man looking like the lead singer of Klischee group. I am not sure if it was him, but anyway - who knows?

I am still traveling but I found this on Instagram. A sponsor of the Festival Challande YouCut_20220618_130727055.mp4 YouCut_20220618_130750952.mp4

I collected all songs (14 if I didn't miss any). But the list is in my luggage. I am traveling home. I will post it in the evening if nobody does it before.

So where you are? Did you find a nice place?

So I will be there in 10-15 minutes.

So anybody's comming? I will not stay long as I woke up today at 3 am and without the hot weather my head is turning around 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's next to the water buses station, right?
