You can wear literally anything you like and feel comfortable in (and can dance in!!). Fancy suit, pretty dress, hoodie and jeans, Mika merch, covered in glitter and rainbows from head to toe,... you'll see anything and everything and it's absolutely impossible to feel out of place!!

That's a good idea, it's a killer playlist! I also remember Delicate (and sth else) by Taylor Swift, right @Mubbin Sarina?? And a male cover of Girl Like Me by Dove Cameron.

I just spent way too long trying to transcribe those lyrics https://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/36827-bougez-english-version/

I have to say that I adore these lyrics, they're so funny!! They're really dark compared to the French ones but so fitting for the apocalypse theme. I'm obsessed with the bridge, it's genius and such a great set-up for the show. And almost feels like a little nod to npih. And the lyric "who cares what language I / this bird may speak" is so ironic considering it's gotten all of us talking about his choice of singing in English rather than French. But at the end of the day he's right I suppose, no one at the gigs really cares. As long as he moves his wings... we move our feet!!

I haven't seen anyone try to write down the English lyrics for Bougez so I thought I'd give it a go. I watched the videos from Amsterdam, Berlin and London and noticed that they all differ slightly in the verses. I wrote down a mixed version of the London and Berlin ones since I didn't understand them as well but they seem similar enough. Please feel free to correct or add what I didn't understand Amsterdam: Verse 1: My dearly beloved, we're gathered here A final ball to face our fears Now's your chance to save your souls All you gotta do is dance Verse 2: I raise my glass with you today To make a toast à votre santé To the non-believers, to the moral choir (???) That tell you never to play with fire I raise my glass with you today To make a toast à votre santé Who cares what language I may speak When I move my wings, you move your feet Bridge: Up to the gates of paradise and god, he said to me Here you're not allowed to dance, you'll rest eternally I turned him down respectfully and said I'd take my chance Cause I would rather be in hell where I can freely dance London / Berlin: Verse 1: My dearly beloved, we're gathered here A final dance to face our fears On your tvs and on the radio We hear these words to save our souls Verse 2: And we all beat from the very same drum (?) From mother earth to kingdom come So move your hands and move your feet Open your heart and let it beat I raise my glass with you today To make a toast à votre santé Who cares what language this bird may speak When I move my wings, you move your feet

Normally the DJ plays for about half an hour then 30min break then Mika Have fun!!

There‘s several people in this thread who have some. Go send them a pm!

What happened that made him so emotional then? Just the general atmosphere or anything in particular?

I moved this post here since it's from Brussels right?!

Yeah I‘d also say they‘re shirts although sleeveless, more like tank tops I think. I have a vague imagine in my head of one of them wearing it without a jacket on top although I can‘t remember who, where, when!

That‘s really interesting, I know what you mean. I mean I‘m a bit similar, I‘ve never really had big hereos even as a teenager and I don‘t really get starstruck because I just cannot see anyone as anything other than… human. But I think what Mika is saying is more along the lines of "representation is important". Seeing yourself in people who are similar to you and that showing you that there is indeed a path for you the way you are. He‘s said before that people like Rufus Wainwright showed him that there was space for him in the music industry, that he could succeed by making the music he makes. It‘s not about wishing to be like them but realizing that you are a bit like them and that‘s ok because if they‘re happy then you can be too
