Hi just wanted to further explain something we were just talking about on the Insta live. The reaction videos thing.

I was just repeating what the other person was saying, it doesn't necessarily reflect my own opinion. I mean of course it can't hurt if we as fans comment on Mika related content on all corners of the internet, but the way most of these semi professional reactors who have a big audience work is that they have Patreon accounts where you have to pay to request videos. (Yes I know, I'm also old enough to find this crazy). So in most cases commenting on the videos doesn't actually achieve much I'd say.

Anyway, I didn't come here to be negative, my main reason was to point out that regardless of their usefulness in promoting Mika's music, I think they're really fun  

It's nice seeing people enjoy something you love or discuss the lyrics with a completely fresh take. Bit like reading the song discussions on here but in video format.

For example look at this dude seeing Mika perform Love Today for the first time and having the time of his life!!

In fact, mods, would it be possible to have a space to announce any official full concert recordings of Mika performing and when/where they might be streamed or viewed, across the world?

I think that's a good idea! I think it normally gets posted somewhere when one of his shows is on tv but I couldn't even tell you where so it would probably good to have a specific thread for it.

I haven't heard anything about a professional recording of the AC tour (yet!). I don't think it's unlikely though

Btw, to cite my wife after the gig: „Even I liked that!“ 

Hahah I was gonna ask you about that actually! My best friend who I dragged to a gig was smiling and dancing the whole way through.

No one can resist Mika's charm!!

Myself & my 11 Yr old would LOVE to get to the Dublin gig...fingers crossed we can get a couple of resale tickets. My daughter is learning the piano amd Mika is a big inspiration 💖 

Hello

That sounds wonderful! I moved your post here to the already existing Dublin gig thread.

You can try and keep an eye on the Extra Ticket Thread where people post if they have spare tickets for a show. At the moment it looks like more people are looking for tickets than giving away for the UK and Dublin dates but fingers crossed.

Hello and Welcome!

Never too late for an Introduction haha. Mika definitely makes me feel more free and hopeful as well!

I just watched the first episode of Ghosts (the British version). It does seem fun and it certainly helps that Charlotte Ritchie is a bit of a celeb crush of mine 

She's also in an excellent series called Feel Good!

I just watched "All of Us Strangers" (on Hulu) last night -- Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal. Loved it so much, and was outright sobbing in several places. I've loved Andrew Scott since he was Moriarty on Sherlock - so glad he's getting so much attention for this film now. Had never seen Paul Mescal in anything and couldn't figure out why he was rated so highly by so many - I get it now. Really a great film, well-written, beautifully acted, with a great ending. More than what I expected.

Ohh don't get me started, that movie destroyed me!! So good!! The whole concept is so original and the relationship between the protagonists is beautiful.

And same, I'm such an Andrew Scott fan 

Hello and Welcome!

My journey has been very similar to that of several other members: I've re-discovered Mika's music through Eurovision and realized that I used to love his music when I was younger.

That sounds very familiar indeed!  

And those are some interesting song choices, I actually think Rio is soo underrated and Make you happy and J'ai pas envie are among my favourites as well (although the list ist long admittedly).

Hey, I watched Vanessa's video of Moi, andy & Paris youtube and wondered for a moment if Mika was (partly) lip syncing, first I thought there were only effects on his voice, but at 2:56, you hear his voice without him singing in the mic

Ah yes, I know exactly what moment you're talking about, I noticed that too. He seems to have more backing tracks for the main vocals for most songs on this tour (I noticed it in Grace Kelly as well for example).

Most of what you hear still comes from what he's singing live, I think it just gives him a feeling of security and makes his voice sound fuller.

And it might also be a way to save a bit of energy so he doesn't have to use 150% of his vocal strength for every song and can focus on those difficult and acoustic moments like in Happy Ending or 30 Secondes.

Nach Schwetzingen möchte ich auch gerne gehen, aber ich kann noch nicht einschätzen, ob ich da auch wirklich kann.

Ohh aber Schwetzingen liegt da doch quasi auf dem Weg!

Hmm, we had been wondering in the 30 Secondes thread what he's singing at the end, but I think the live version is different again.

I also noticed that live he sings "t'es comme une bombe" which it says in the official lyrics anyway but in the recording I understand "et comme une bombe"

Hello! Does anyone have the full version of Moi Andy et Paris? Or preferably the moment where he explains what the song is about? I only found half of it🙈

I've only seen this one that Karin posted (as in reposted):

Ohh this warmed my heart @Deepblue!! Love love love reading subjective reports like this!

What other signs by peole did he read?

The only other one I understand is "Can you write my tattoo please?"

Yes, I agree, that is a shame.   How can we encourage them to post the full songs here?

Mhm well is the issue that people don't record full length videos anymore and don't share it on platforms like Youtube?

Or is it that they don't share them here on the mfc so we just don't find them?

I think the biggest issue is the former and there's sadly not much we can do about that.

Just speaking for myself, I don't usually film whole songs because I also want to enjoy the show and dance instead of just film

That's definitely true, but I mean if this used to be different then this can't be the reason for everyone right?!

I think it has more to do with all popular social media platforms now being focus on short content. People record mostly for the purpose of posting it on these platforms so they do it in a way that fits that format.

Concert au top. Jai adoré.   Chanteur exceptionnel avec un spectacle extraordinaire. . J'ai adoré. Fan de Mika et en plus le nom de la tournée est le prénom de ma fille 👧 :Calypso.

Hâte de revenir à un concert de Mika.

That sounds great!!

If you like, you can tell us more about your experience in the specific "Concert Review Thread". Preferably in English but luckily google translate is here to help us

https://www.mikafanclub.com/forum/32-concert-reviews/

Ça a l'air génial!! Si tu veux, tu peux nous en dire plus sur ton expérience dans le "Concert Review Thread" spécifique. De préférence en anglais mais heureusement, Google Translate est là pour nous aider.

(Et Calypso, c'est une très joli nom pour une fille, je pense! )

Thank you @Kumazzz!! I just edited your post because you got Moi, Andy et Paris and 30 Secondes mixed up. Hope that's ok

DONE !

Check the 1st page out, thank you.

Wait but now the links are gone! I specifically liked that the list included links and that it showed what songs there are already entire videos on youtube of

Ohh @Kumazzz the way you did that list is such a great idea!!
Would it be a good idea to put this in the first post of the thread (instead of the link to the setlist perhaps)? That way you don't have to search at all if you want to rewatch a specific performance.

It’s a light lime green! 

I'm glad this important issue is finally addressed!!

This is crazy though, I definitely see it as yellow (except for some promo pics). Which is why I didn't understand that his nickname "le snake" came from that until BigFlo said so. I thought it was just because of Mika's sneakiness

These are very cute!! There are definitely Mika fans who do this as well, I've seen a few on Instagram.

Meanwhile I've started making Pride bracelets and am now thinking about giving them away at Mika concerts. Here are some I've already made (bi, pan and trans). I'm definitely planning on making some general rainbow ones (just don't have all the colors yet haha) and other flags / colour combinations.

But if you want a specific one and you're at one of the following gigs, send me a message: Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Orange.

Absolutely incredible!! I have Mika's voice in my head saying "the German fans are reappearing" to @mellody in Tarvisio. He said it almost with a mixture of wonder and slight fear
