 Makes me wonder now, has Mika ever posted from a hotel room in the US?

I remember him posting something on Instagram about his view in New York City when he did the Indeed Take Pride Live! event in 2022. If that was a hotel room it was very plain and modern (I'm not sure if it was a hotel room but I think it might have been). It didn't look very high-end compared to where he usually stays, though.

t's a mirror TV. Looks like a mirror, but has an LCD TV behind the glass. The glass is semi translucent so you can see the TV when it's on. 

I thought I was seeing things with that TV, I'm glad that's not the case

be specifically about US identity, so maybe he is over the pond. 🤔

We definitely have plenty of Taschen books in the US, not even just US-centric ones, so it’s a possibility that he’s here somewhere (My sister collects their books).

Hmm.  I think I would have liked to have heard more of the piano playing.  Duncan's story was heartwarming, but I wasn't that impressed by his playing.  I thought Fred or Ellis or Salome should have gone through.

I agree. I really liked Salome's performance in particular.

Hi @Aoife, can you watch it via the link Eriko posted earlier?

 

 

Jumping in here to say: I don’t know how it works for others, but as far as I could tell this site only shows what’s currently playing on Channel 4. It also had a 15 minute limit for free streaming on my end. I live in the US, so I can’t know for sure if it works that way for others. It also is giving me error messages at the moment. (I was really hoping it would work.)

Origin Of Love (Mika in the crowd

This seems like a good crowd choice

There was! I posted pictures of mine in this forum if you want to see the actual vinyl:

It looks like the unsigned version is still available on the Mika Official Shop, but it seems to only be available from the US store. I have no idea if they ship to other countries from this one anymore, I know people had issues with the French store, as well:

This is the FNAC Edition, which is white:

There's also the splatter version that I think people have been purchasing at concerts (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!).

 

The Ultimate MIKA Merch Thread I linked with my vinyl post might be helpful for you, also! I think the splatter version is on there, as well.

I also thought there was a Japanese edition, but I'm only finding a CD now when I look it up

Btw, of course I still want Mika to visit the crowd, but with a different song than BG, maybe Relax or Rain? 

I feel like I’d like a crowd visit with a newer song (not that a huge audience would probably appreciate that in real life), but I’m not sure which one.

22 songs seems like a good length otherwise we'd be there all night.

 

1. Bougez (with English lyrics)
2. Tomorrow
3. Cry
4. Elle Me Dit (but with English lyrics he did once in 2011, not Emily)
5. Touches You
6. Overrated (dancey version)
7. No Place in Heaven
8. C'est la Vie
9. One Foot Boy
10. No Time to Leave
11. Origin of Love
12. Good Wife
13. 30 Secondes
14. Tah Dah
15. Overrated (yes, again! slower this time)
16. Happy Ending
17. Dear Jealousy
18. Stardust (dancey like the album)

 

Encore: 

1. Promiseland
2. Relax
3. Love Today
4. Passager

I completely forgot Overrated and Tah Dah on mine! I’d add Tah Dah to my encore and swap out Lollipop for Overrated (any version) 😁

My dream setlist is technically ANY Mika songs I could actually have the opportunity to hear live at this point  

I worked on one of these a couple of weeks ago for my Instagram story, but I'm sure it will turn out different this time:

1. Bougez

2.  Origin of Love

3. Dear Jealousy

4. Tiny Love

5.  Heroes

6. Stardust

7. Jane Birkin

8. Oh Girl You're The Devil

9. Lollipop (It was my Mika discovery song and I want to hear it live, even if others aren't so happy with it anymore!)

10. Promiseland

11. Tomorrow (My always-lifts-my-mood song)

12. Ordinary Man

13. One Foot Boy

14. Touche touche

15. By The Time

16. Rio

17. Platform Ballerinas

18. Touches You

19. Good Wife

20. My Interpretation

21. Passager (This song makes me cry and gives me the chills, it's the perfect album closer and I'd love it as a concert closer, too)

Encore:

1. We Are Golden

2. Happy Ending

3. Good Guys

I was going to do 20 but I just couldn't choose  It really is EXTREMELY hard to choose. I tried to get into flow a little bit but I haven't been to enough live events in my life to be good at it, honestly.

(Definitely agree that I'd prefer a Taylor Swift-length concert! I would also take a NPIH- or QTTFT-exclusive concert because they're my favorite albums.)

The only songs I wouldn't care to ever have at a concert (even though I've never been to a Mika concert) are probably Grace Kelly and Big Girl (You are Beautiful). I feel like I've already heard them too much.

Hi @BeccaMB, welcome to the MFC!  I loved reading your introduction! I hope you enjoy your time here 

Welcome @alldnr Looking forward to seeing your photos!

Bonjour @PattyLilly!

Hello and welcome @Josephine  I hope you enjoy your classical oboe studies, that must be so interesting!

I hope you have fun being in the MIKA Fan Club, see you around the forums 

Hello and welcome @Becky777 

I hope you enjoy being a part of the fan club! 

Hello and welcome @Eli19!  Working in climate change policy sounds fascinating.

, excited to get to know more real fans as my family and friends are tired of me talking about him

I can relate to this with my family  Fortunately my 9-year-old niece loves Mika too, though. But joining the MFC is a great choice if you want to talk to people who really understand being a fan!

I am totally new on forums, I am not exactly sure how to use it so might take a while, I "followed" a few topics of interest I think it should do the trick for a start?!

This should be a good start! I've also been telling everyone lately that I discovered the "Unread Content" feed, which is a great place to find out what everyone's talking about right now because it starts with the newest content. 

I hope you enjoy being a part of the MFC!

. But I have no specific app just a browser like I can use youtube or twitter or instagram with a browser instead of the app on .my  phone. I don't know if that makes sense  but I never downloaded any MFC app 

I have an iPhone, so I don't know if it's different for other phones or in other countries outside the US, but: I got an app-like bookmark on my phone by "adding to home screen," or something like that. It doesn't change much from using the browser, but I am able to get push notifications this way (maybe the notifications work without adding the bookmark to my home screen—I don't think I ever tried that). I also don't have to keep opening my browser and typing the MFC URL, it just loads automatically with one click like any other app. The notifications aren't perfect, but they are still useful.

I have an app on my laptop which I'm using right now, but I don't remember how I got it.   It might have been a similar process to what I did on my phone.

I actually got the same question about using the apps version of MFC forum cause its always hard to see all the topics on the apps haha 😆 

 

Somtimes I need to type some key words to search for related things lol 😂 

 

Is it the only problem I have or does it the design of this apps? Any suggestions on using the apps? Thanks 🙏

This may be going too far off-topic for this thread, but since you asked for help: if I’m looking for something very specific I usually try to search key words, whether I’m using mobile or desktop (I actually have an app on my laptop and a mobile website link on my phone where I also get push notifications for topics I want to keep an eye on).

If I just want to see what threads have new comments, I look at the “Unread Content” feed and I can see what is new. I’m not sure if any of this helps MFCers find the concert RSVP links, as I’ve never had the opportunity to use them yet, but I’d probably do a search if I couldn’t find the right section on the website right away.

As a side note and probably going further off-topic, a Google/web search that starts with your keyword and ends in “mikafanclub” often works, sometimes even better than searching on the MFC site itself.

Edit: So for a concert example: if I wanted to find any and all threads on Bercy/Accor as quickly as possible, I’d probably type in one of those words on the site or using the Google trick I mentioned.

Hi @Joanjettkinnie, welcome!

The forum gets easier the longer you use it, I used to have to only use the desktop site, but I’m even comfortable on my phone now (I recently learned that the “unread” feed is really useful if you want to see the latest threads & replies).

I hope you have a great time at the Dublin gig

Hello and welcome, @Petite Madame! Enjoy the MFC! 

Hi @EmRay, nice to meet you  I'm glad to hear you've rediscovered Mika. As someone who only recently discovered him, I can definitely relate to the "missing out" feeling. I hope you enjoy the MFC! 

Hi @Gintare, nice to meet you! I know you said you aren’t totally new here but  

Hello and welcome @MissMagpie!

You’ve listed some of my all-time favorites here

Hello and welcome @Deepblue! I also found Mika during a hard time in my life, so I understand the gratitude you feel. 

I hope you have a wonderful time at the concert and enjoy being a part of the MFC
