Had to pause the video just while I was talking to my Mum and this has to be the perfect moment I paused it on!
This is right after he says the word "POP" too and look at his eyes! They are popping!

He’ll laugh and he starts stroking my face and I’m, like, ‘Oh my God!’ There’s very few situations in my life where I’m having a nice time, especially with a man, and he just strokes your face out of affection.”
Excuse me sir, but I think Andy may have something to say about this! 😅

„gosh is he TALL!“
When he walked past me at the concert, and I was seated at the time, I thought exactly the same thing!
I mean, I KNOW he's tall, but when I was so close to him I didn't realise HOW tall! 😅

I didn't see any different magazines while I was out compared to the ones you shared @Kumazzz , I think you got them all! Thank you!

Would you just want the Radio Times one? It's the only one with Mika on the cover and out of all the magazines it has the best interview. Let me know 🙂

I'm still elated from the final duet, wasn't expecting that song but it was brilliant. ❤️❤️❤️
Same here! That's one performance I won't forget any time soon. When I saw the instruments being placed on stage I was thinking "ooh it could be THIS song, no THAT song!" but then it was something else entirely and from the first note I couldn't stop beaming! I was crying happy tears throughout it!

I shall share my little review here and it is only short because it has to be spoiler free!
Just want to say first that it was nice to meet a few of you at the venue, I apologise for my shyness getting the better of me, otherwise I would have spent longer talking to everyone. I'm socially awkward and now you all know it!
My Mum says hi again and that she liked a lot of your outfits! (She was experiencing, and hiding, back pain so that's why we dashed off to our seats when the doors opened).
What a day Sunday was! Seeing The Piano concert is one event I will never forget. Obviously I can't say too much about it other than it was filled with pure piano joy. Each amateur pianist truly deserved to be in the final. All their stories for why they have the love of the piano was so touching and at times quite emotional. One in particular really resonated with me and I couldn't hold back tears at their particular story! Same goes for my Mum who enjoyed every minute of the show and also admitted to shedding a tear near the end 🥲.
All of the pianists were truly amazing! They put so much passion into their performances, even if a few of them looked quite nervous.
The magnificent trio of Claudia, Lang Lang and Mika were all full of energy and together they really made the night very special. Performances by Mika and Lang Lang were more than wonderful, they made my heart sour with the utmost happiness!
With the seat I had I couldn't believe how close to the stage I actually was! And then Mika and Lang Lang walked right infront of me!!! This was during the show for something they had to do so I couldn't really disturb them to say hello, but they were so close!
Each pianist took a piece of my heart that night, it felt far too short and all I want now is to experience it all over again!Some fun things:
> Before the concert started me and Mum were having a rather random conversation about shoes. I'd made a comment that I wasn't keen on white trainers; they get dirty too quick. Me after the concert "I want white trainers!" (if you know, you know! 😁).
> When Mika first appeared on the stage Mum whispered in my ear "Look, we're outfit twins!" She couldn't quite believe it, for those of you who met my Mum, I'm sure you know why! 😃
> Next morning at my hotel, I saw one of the pianists at breakfast! It was lovely to see them but I didn't want to disturb them when they were with family, I wouldn't dare do something like that. All I'll say is, this rather young person still looked very happy!
> When checking out if the hotel, I recognised two people from Love Productions and also one of the musicians who accompanied Mika's performance at the end of the show. They actually looked like they were heading back to the studio. Who knows, maybe Mika was in the same hotel all along!

Hello to all of you!
I don't know if this is the right place to share it, but this morning I have found this video from Italian Television. This is a Talent Show in Italy where two students sing their version of "Stardust" of Mika.
I apologise if this is not a right place to publish it. If someone of you is interested in it you can move it in another thread more appropriate, if you don't like it or you are not interested you can quietly cancel my message. Thank you to everyone!
Bye!
Moved your post to this thread where we talk about Mika's music on TV and film 😊

Doesn't look like there was a reports thread for the 2022 The Piano concert, I could open up a separate one for this event or shall we stick to discussing things here?
There's so much I want to say but...

Anyone at the venue yet? I'm just chilling in my hotel for a little while before I head down there for the concert. Me and Mum did scope out the entrance and just round the side of the entrance they have a small piano! If anyone heard from inside the venue about 20-30 minutes ago that was my Mum!
Apparently rehearsals are ongoing now too

I wish they had asked him if he could run the marathon. With all the running he's been doing the last few years I assume he could.
I wonder if he would wear a costume? Maybe a camel so he can hide snacks in the hump!

On The One Show tonight, one of the guests Steve Backshall (well known naturalist) was explaining how clown fish make noises, he mentioned that some fish "talk" through their bottoms.
Yeah... I know a few humans who do that too!

Is the one show live?
Yes it is.

Knowing Mika, this is probably more likely! 😅

Just caught up with The One Show now, nearly had a heart attack when they talked about filming the final for The Piano and Mika said "yes, tomorrow", NO, IT'S DEFINITELY SUNDAY!!! My anxious brain had to triple check the venue website and my tickets just to be sure. Mika please don't do that to me!
(He either got the date wrong by accident or he might have meant rehearsals, either way I'm stressed enough without having the date being wrong!).
Anyway... lovely interview and so good to actually see him there in the studio. I love that he couldn't stop smiling! Something he said really touched me too, "You make music to say things you can't say with words.", I don't make music but I do play songs as a way to express myself, as I find that difficult to do with words. One of my favourite quotes is "When words fail, music speaks." ❤

Don't they have a replay on their website, like Channel4 does, so you can watch later?
Yes, I'll watch it a little later on in the evening because even my Mum doesn't want to miss it!

Looks like I'm gonna have to miss the One Show tonight so I hope someone records it! 🙏

I don't think there is so far!
There is this thread:
I know the title suggests it's mainly about autism but we could always discuss neurodivergence in general terms there too.
But that's not to say we can't have a separate thread if you wanted to!

I hadn't heard of Chappell Roan before now. Hard to say just yet if I'll be a big fan of hers, I haven't been through her whole discography just yet, but I really like the songs you shared above @Jaela!!!
I had time to listen to a couple others too, Kink is Karma and Casual, these are more growers I think but odds are I'll up liking these just as much the more I listen to them!
Her music videos are super creative and a lot of fun, especially Red Wine Supernova, that has to be my favourite so far!

Shout out to the camera man who was nearest to me, there was a brief moment where he had to come round the front and it obstructed my view. He looked at me, gave me a nod and pointed at his camera. I realised I could see everything he was filming really clearly on the camera screen. He was doing close ups of Mika and Claudia! It was like they were smiling right at me!
