So tell us more, please!

I'm gonna open a review thread (unless someone beats me to it!), but we're really not allowed to say too much about it! 🤐

I think I recognise you! Were you sat front row to the right of the stage?

   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 forgot to mention this but I FINALLY GOT A NEW JOB!!! 🎉🎉

Congratulations!!! I hope it's an enjoyable one, do you mind me asking what job?

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.

Or he's just as confused about his own schedule as we are, that's entirely possible I think.

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." ❤

Mika story

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!

Got the weekly TV magazine today and on the back page it always tells you what's coming up in the following week and I couldn't believe it when I saw this!

 

 

I squeeled like a little girl when I saw this, I'm so excited!!! 

A year and 3 months on and this is relevant again!!!

In the back of todays TV magazine:

Which means next week I'll be buying all the different magazines that mention The Piano (again!).

Over My Shoulder

Tiny Love, Blue Eyes (!)

Any of these and I think I'd cry! 💙

It would be lovely to see the WING piano there but sadly I doubt Mika will bring it to this

   Getting very excited about this now!!! I'm beginning to wonder what Mika might perform, I imagine it will be towards the end again. I'm thinking either SITM or Billy Brown. Or both!!!

   I doubt he'll sing one of his new French songs (shame, but also understandable) but maybe something from MNIMH would also work 🤔

   Watching Channel 4 and just saw the new trailer for The Piano series 2!!!  

   At the moment it just says coming soon but I expect it might start anytime from the 27th, the last series aired on a Wednesday right? My own prediction is 1st May then!

   This is harder than I thought it would be and my ideal setlist can easily change because there are so many of Mika's songs I would love to hear live!

 

This is my list for the moment:

 

1. Bougez (with English lyrics)
2. Relax
3. Origin of Love (a version similar to the one he did on Casa Mika)
4. Love You When I'm Drunk
5. Billy Brown
6. Lollipop 
7. Blue Eyes 
8. Sweetie Banana
9. Feels Like Fire
10. No Time to Leave
11. No Place in Heaven
12. Underwater
13. Boum Boum Boum
14. Tiny Love
15. Dr. John
16. Love Today
17. Doucement

18. Apocalypse Calypso

19. We are Golden or Stardust

 

Encore: 

1. Touches You
2. Moi, Andy et Paris
3. Rain 
4. C'est la Vie

I really want to hear Apocalypse Calypso live so I'm putting it after Doucement!

And because the songs were hard to choose I've done a second setlist that I think is suitable for a more intimate concert setting:

1. Rain (acoustic version)
2. Grace Kelly (acoustic version)
3. Lady Jane
4. Blue
5. Passager
6. Ice Cream (version similar to the one he did at Versailles)
7. Dear Jealousy
8. Hurts
9. Sanremo
10. Toy Boy
11. Over My Shoulder
12. Jane Birkin
13. C'est la Vie (an acoustic version would be awesome!)
14. Good Wife
15. Good Guys
16. Tah Dah
17. Love Today (acoustic version)

Encore:
1. Last Party
2. Je sais que je t'aime (with a choir!)

Today I came across a new game called Mika and The Witch's Mountain 

 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1819460/Mika_and_The_Witchs_Mountain/

 

Mika is a witch girl 

This looks like such a cool and cute game! Basically Kiki's Delivery Service but it's an open world RPG! The developers are hoping to have a physical release this summer, looks like something I would play so I'll definitely keep my eye out for it.

Would love to play a game with Mika the witch!

Can someone share the full setlist for this gig please? 😊

Don't know if it's useful for your purpose, but I've got this one 😊

This is great for the perspective I need for the word WING, thank you!

Thanks a million    I love it  @TinyLove_CJ Do you have the piano view you need by any chance?.

I would also like views that show the whole piano if you have any!

   I'm looking for good close up pictures of the wing piano. If anyone took pictures or videos during the AC tour where you had a view of the front of the piano can you please share them with me?

And I don't mind what angle just as long as I can see the keys and where it says WING, can be pictures with or without the rainbow. Thanks 😊
