    Official - Dreams about MIKA thread =)

    in Chat about Mika

    Posted

    I finally had a Mika dream!!!. I'm still recovering from it.  Oi!

     

    So I was in a building that was kind of like a hotel/apartment building that had a common area where kids could play.  I was there with my two children and Mika's two children (one girl and a little boy).  Omg his kids were the most adorable sweetest children, and we were all getting along so well.  But it was also like I had known them forever and they really loved me.  His little boy and I were having a seriously fun and happy moment when Mika came into the room and saw how much his son loved being with me and all of a sudden Mika and I were totally and completely in love.  We were telling each other such lovely things and it was very intense and emotional.

     

    I woke up shortly after that.  It was so strange because I've never really had that type of feeling before, I mean, I'm a fan and all, but never thought of him "that way" before.  It's all very overwhelming.  Ha ha.  Dreams are so very strange!

    I got mine a couple days ago, but the one I had them send to my sister hasn’t gotten to her yet, so don’t give up hope! The email they sent after I submitted my address said it should ship in 7-10 days after the release. I never got an email saying it actually shipped.

    Ok.  I haven't received a "shipped" email yet.  Being in Canada, I expect a bit of a delay, but hopefully not too long!!. Thanks.

    I love how music is so subjective and different for everyone.  Here we are, all huge Mika fans and yet we can have completely different opinions on which songs we like the best.  It's quite fascinating!!

     

    A list:

    Tiny Love

    Tomorrow

    Sanremo

    Dear Jealousy

    Stay High 

    Ice Cream 

    I Went To Hell Last Night

     

    B list:

    Cry

    Blue

    Paloma

     

     

    C list:

    Tiny Love Reprise (i wish only Mika  sang  it, tbh)

    Platform Ballerinas 

    Ready to call this love

    I listened to the new songs this morning and now the whole album, some new songs twice. So I have an opinion :) The only new song I really like is "Ready to call this love", amazing duet! I'm not really sure about the rest. Paloma, I went to hell and Blue definitely deserve a better sound. And it is so weird to hear something like Cry, Stay High and Platform Ballerinas from Mika. These songs are too pop, too mainstream, even remind of Britney Spears at some point :fisch: And it's not a compliment :naughty:

     

    So my two favourite songs are Tiny Love and Tomorrow, I like Sanremo and even Jealousy a lot now, Ice Cream is cool, Ready to call this love is great. That's all. MNIMH is the weakest Mika's album to me. Well Mika's voice sounds really beautiful, lyrics of Paloma, I went to hell and Blue are really strong. Though song is not a poem, music is the main thing in a song and musically MNIMH is not good enough. Mika can do better, still can do better I hope.

    As much as it's hard to admit...I agree with you.  It's a half amazing and half meh for me.  

     

    Tiny Love, Tomorrow, Sanremo, Dear Jealousy, Ice Cream, I went to hell last night,. and Stay High are great.  The others don't seem as quite as good to me.  

     

    But! I think Tiny Love/Tomorrow/Sanremo are up there with his best songs ever. 

     

    Just my opinion though of course 😄

    2019 - Sept.15 @ Corona Theatre, Montreal :PICS / VIDS / REPORTS

    Here’s my rambling mess of a report, much of it typed while waiting for the gig on Monday:

    Sunday morning I didn’t want to get lost after leaving the bus station so I got to the venue by about 6:30am but no one was there yet. I decided to go hunting for places with WiFi and happened upon a grocery store with loose enough barriers that I could access it while sitting in the parking lot. Back to the venue and still no one so I went wandering some more & I accidentally found a pharmacy where I bought a warmer shirt (who knew Montreal was so chilly in September?!) then Atwater Market where I bought a couple things but got scared off by people speaking French at me, then to the canal. I saw a duck and some graffiti that said DEEE so I took that as a sign that I was where I should be. After some photos it was back to the venue and still no one, so it was off to the Starbucks for a wake-me-up drink and some breakfast. Venue check? Still no one there. My phone needed a charge so I went to a library (cuz I def don’t get enough library time back at home!) when it opened at ten and read a book in English for about 45mins. Finally when I checked the venue I found some there! It was Naomi and we had a nice time waiting and soon more fans joined us for a pleasant day milling around and chatting and people watching.

    Promptly at 7 the security let us in, doing a quick bag check, and it was so smooth and easy and opposite of Brooklyn Steel. I was very impressed! Naomi and I tried to sort of position ourselves on either side of where Mika’s mike stand would be so neither would have the problem of his microphone blocking his face from our view. There was literally 0 barrier between audience and stage. I was unusually relaxed and happy and excited and not sweaty during the wait for this gig. I even enjoyed Kiesza more (not that I disliked her before, but she’s no Mika). 

    Oh yeah Mika... well… where should I even start? I’ve been front row before but never in the centerish of a stage, especially at one as low as as this one. This night I think he was extra extra compared to NYC, but maybe I felt that way cuz of where I was.

    Random thoughts about the songs, in no particular order:

    Ice Cream was fun, a good opener. 

    FACT: Dear Jealousy is pretty much the most perfect song ever. 

    Tiny Love was wonderful ofc, I love the style and tempo changes now even though when I first heard they weirded me out.

    During Big Girl he sat down on the stage’s edge right between Naomi and I. I could’ve so easily touched him but purposely leaned away cuz I didn’t want him to think I was touching him on purpose. 

    I swear he looked at me during Relax, and we def made eye contact during Popular Song…… what’s he trying to tell me? xD Relax was great, it’s a song I don’t usually record or take pics during but I got Mika and Max’s little jump together (sorry Max is barely in frame). Popular Song is always fun to sing along with. I’m so glad he’s been doing the album version with all the lyrics.

    Elle Me Dit was fun and even it’s the one he did that I can’t sing along with I was happy he played it. 

    Underwater was gorgeous as usual. I especially liked the lights at the beginning, they were coming down in blue green rays and looked like he was indeed underwater. Usually I only take note of the lights when they’re blinding but this effect was quite striking!

    During Love Today he was on the floor and did some “interesting” “dance” moves, then he stood up. I usually never film that song but he was so close & I knew I may never get the chance like that again so I filmed it. Let’s just say when I showed it to my friend she said, and I quote, “holy sh*t… He was practically in your lap 😂 😂 😂 jesus... he’s such a hoe!!! 😆… holy mother of f*ck”.

    He didn’t do Tomorrow which I definitely missed hearing. No San Remo either :(

    I wasn’t too sure about Blue when I first heard it, but after hearing it more & his explaining it I love the lyrics.

    Origin of Love is definitely a favorite of mine live, even still. He brought up Max and Wouter (drummer’s name?) and Tim for Lollipop and had them on the ground. While Mika was invisible behind the piano I used the chance to get better pics of Max and Tim then I ever had before. 

    We Are Golden has been great to see, I haven’t checked for sure but I think he had only performed it a couple of the gigs i was at before the tiny tour. 

    Grace Kelly was insanely fun, took no pics or vids during that but I trust others did. He closed with the reprise of Tiny Love and Stay High. Oh I will Mika, you ensured I will for weeks to come!

    Oh yeah, I was saving talking about Happy Ending for last.... so he started out sitting down on the stage’s edge beside me and I had to film it. Then he got up and sang as usual, then he started trying to get people to be quiet and I knew what was coming. I must’ve muttered ‘oh my god, no no no oh my god he’s gonna do it’ about ten times. He was literally standing right above me when he sang the ending a capella. I’ve seen him sing like this a few times live before, but this was different. I started crying a little bit because the moment was so special and I was overwhelmed. Mika or his songs had never ever made me cry before, maybe tear up a bit but that’s it, but this time I had to take my glasses off and hastily wipe off tears of happiness before he started the next song. Please keep in mind I’m not one to cry easily, like I’ve never cried over a movie and i didn’t even cry after my cat of 16 years died until like 2 years later, so you know this f*cking moved me. 

    I took a bunch of pics of Mika with the band bowing at the end. It made me so happy to get a great group pic of my own for Mikapedia!

    He had promo in the morning and many many people were waiting so he didn’t make an appearance afterward. I felt especially gutted since I’ve never been more prepared to say something sensible (at least in my mind) to him and to give him a gift I was really proud to have found and to maybe even ask for pic of us or a hug since it was my 13th Mika gig and I never asked for either. But oh well, it was not to be...

    Wow! Thank you for that.  Felt like I just relived it.  Wonderfully written 🙂
