   I've asked for help getting merch at gigs before and this request might also be a big ask but can anyone get me the new edition of the vinyl with the colour splatter affect on it? I've been told it's only available at the gigs and I would love to own it! I will of course pay for the item plus postage, please let me know by pm if you can do this for me!

 

You can see what the vinyl looks like in this IG post:

It's so pretty! 😍

   With the UK leg of the tour starting tomorrow I'm bumping this to see if anyone can help me out! You can also let me know on IG (just_panther_cj).

  I'm wondering too if it might ever end up online, @dcdeb any ideas about this vinyl?

   He got the cake and ate the cake!!! It looks absolutely gorgeous

One last question: is the "report" button functional?

  I can assure you it is and all reports are looked into by a member of the mod team. Anything thought to be extremely concerning is discussed by the whole team privately. 

   We do allow mild innuendo jokes on the forum, however some may be crossing a line. With the picture you shared above I can understand what you mean about it being inappropriate, maybe this can also be a further discussion to perhaps discourage such comments in the future.

   What an amazing competition! And very kind of Mika and his team to offer these tickets! Good luck everyone! 🤞

Hi @Josephine 

A lot of fans seem to have rediscovered Mika through Eurovision, it's nice to see people make there way to MFC and discover more about him too. 

If you have any questions about the forum just ask! 😊

Hi all

I have two spare tickets for London available through Ticketmaster as I am unable to go.

Moved your post here so more people can see it. I've also edited your post as we're not allowed to say "selling" for legal reasons.

I was so surprised by this come back that I missed the beginning. 

 

I love the dance he does for Sweetie Banana, we should get fans to learn the moves and make it a new trend!

but, do you know where Mika lives now?? Is it Paris or not anymore? i have not seen him mention it in the press recently...

He often describes himself as a citizen of the world! 😁 and could probably live just about anywhere.

His known houses are in Miami, Tuscany and London. Not too sure about France, I think he occasionally stays with family when there.

If you ever have Mika related questions or are looking for something specific we have this thread too:

   I really should keep an eye on this thread more often. I love that we have so many talented singers and performers within the Mika fandom!

   I've never really sang publicly by my own choice infront of an audience, in the past it's always been as part of a school choir and back then there was no way I would dare offer to do a solo. I'm just not confident enough. Yet I do like singing and I don't think I'm bad at it or have a bad singing voice (my Mum is of course biased and says I sing well 😅), I would love to do a Mika cover or even something by First Aid Kit (another favourite of mine ❤) but it's my confidence holding me back.

   For the people here that have shared their singing, do you have any tips on not being so shy and boosting confidence? 

  I thought maybe joining a project might help, I was reading your idea @CharlotteL about creating a fan choir with a Mika song. Is this still something you're wanting to do?

   I'd also love to hear more of Mika's French songs in English. A few on his new album could definitely work, AC could be a mix of French/English and C'est la Vie too, I'd love to give those a go. Maybe an idea for a future fan project too!? 🤔

Welcome @Becky777 

Enjoy it here and I'm sure you'll get to know other Mika fans in no time!

Can I please get a download link to the video of the fans in the queue? I screenrecorded it but my sleepy head didn’t record it with sound 🤪

You should be able to download it directly from MFC, just tap the 3 little dots on the bottom right of the video and a download option should come up 🙂

   Travel and accommodation is booked and knowing I'll be seeing Mika in 3 weeks is starting to feel a little more real! 😁

   Concert outfit is also sorted, but guys I have this lovely piano scarf I got for my birthday last year (yes, blame the Keep it Simple mv!), do I wear it or is it too on the nose for this event?! 😆

  I will however have a rather special badge on my jacket on one side and also a little rose flower brooch on the other side too. I saw @Anna Ko Kolkowska idea about wearing large flowers for Mika's tour, I'm not seeing him on the AC tour so this will be my own little nod to feel like I'm still taking part! 😊

Me again, why are so many people obsessed with impersonating Mika? This is the fourth person I've come across who does this. 

   If you haven't already please let @dcdeb know about this! Since the start of the tour there's definitely been an increase in fake accounts!

We also discuss it here if you ever come across more.

   Just to make everyone aware that the day before the concert (April 20th), that there is a Manchester United game happening, anyone coming on that day bare in mind that public transport may be busier than usual as football fans head to Old Trafford. It's likely there'll be more taxis around (especially to and from stations) but you might have to wait a little longer for them too. Big football matches allays attract large crowds so I thought it best to let you all know!

Hi and  @Eli19  

I'm sure you'll get to know Mika fans really well here and make friends too 😊

Enjoy it here!

Actually, question for the mods - is it possible to "ignore" a thread? That might be useful. 

   You can't ignore a thread. The only option would be to not follow a particular thread that you're not bothered about and double check that you don't have notifications turned on for it either.

   (Sorry for quoting you into this Hero, I know you've left the discussion, you don't have to reply back if you don't want).

   Older threads that haven't been active for a long time eventually get "pushed" way back down amongst the topic pages and in affect are ignored by members anyway because they're no longer prominent at the top of a page.

So you're asking us to avoid looking at these threads when they should just be deleted? Deleting takes less than a minute, right?

   I agree with Hero's statement in regards to avoiding certain threads. It's really no different to social media. When you're busy scrolling and you see something you don't like, you can easily choose to ignore it and move on. You can also report and block. You don't have to read every post simply because it happens to be there.

   It's the same here on MFC, if there's something you're not interested in don't follow it. If there's something genuinely concerning then we do have the report function (and I assure you all reports get looked into), anything too over the top or extremely offensive it's best to contact a mod and so discussions can be done privately.

   You say deleting is easy and takes just a minute. Yes it is, but here it's also not. Once something is deleted on MFC it is gone for good and the data is unrecoverable. I can understand that in some instances this is the right thing to do but on the other hand there might be information in a thread that might just be needed.

   I may have a solution to this. Threads can be hidden by mods and once they're hidden members can no longer see them within the topic sections or search for them. Mods can still see hidden threads, so just in case there is something a member is looking for but can't find it and is wondering "is this hidden?" they could still contact a mod to answer any questions they have.

   There is also the option of archiving threads and closing them to further replies. Archived threads can still be open too but they won't appear in search results are often harder to find anyway.

Has someone here spoken negatively about his sexuality?

   I think Roz may be referring to older threads/posts, there's definitely some rather controversial topics between 2007-2010 that I've come across.

I don't think it would be too much of a shame if those did get deleted. This is definitely a discussion the Mod team will have!

   I finished watching Gotham. The whole Ra's al Ghul story arc made it a bit weird and the final episode was slightly anti climatic (and left a lot of things unanswered!) but overall I enjoyed it!

   While Mum decides whether to get a Prime or Disney+ subscription we are now re-watching His Dark Materials. Third time for me, because apparently I like getting my heart broken 🙃

No! NOT THE BRIE!!!

And Bougez was in English!

WHAT?!

Someone needs to share a video of that!!!

   Lang Lang was a guest on the UK TV show 'This Morning' today. He didn't talk too much about The Piano (he was mainly promoting his new album) but did mention that series 2 would be just as heartwarming as the first series. Sadly Mika's name never got mentioned! 

But Happy Ending could be heard as background music at one point!

I did join any "The piano" final concert but just read your message and felt so sad that it's our society that the fans always be mad when see their idol lol 😆 I appreciate MIKA's talent but seriously I can't understand why do so many fans need to scream and chase him etc. when see him haha 😂

 

If I were the idols, I must ask my fans stop doing such annoying behaviours but maybe they don't think so?🙌

   There are some fans out there that don't seem to show any respect for an artist when they see them coming out after a show. All they see is the "idol" and not the human being that just spent the last few hours entertaining them.

   I don't understand it either when some fans go a bit over board and do start acting like animals to get to Mika. I've seen videos of it happening before, both during and after a concert. People seem to want to touch him or hug him at the most inappropriate times and I'm sure Mika must get annoyed when this happens.

   Hopefully at The Piano concert this won't happen. I have a feeling entering and leaving the venue will be quite calm

Haven't heard this song in years and it definitely still holds up today! I love it!

Hi @Joanjettkinnie and  

You're first Mika gig will be something to remember forever, enjoy every minute of it!

This thread might help you with the forum but feel free the ask any questions too, we're here to help! 😊

I made a spur-of-the-moment English version of Jane Birkin the other day! The translation is a bit choppy, but I wanted it to sound good as well as being mildly faithful to the original lyrics 

You're voice is wonderful! Love this! ❤ 

Mika himself should hear this too!
