babspanky Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Anyway, Sara is right to bump this now. After reading how the Magic Numbers gig went, it seems he wasn't best prepared and wasn't that interested in talking to the fans. This doesn't wholly surprise me, but some fans need to take their blinkers off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guylainem123 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 i just finished reading this thread, i don't remember ever seeing it before. it was started a day or 2 before i became a member. i was probably too busy fangurling and reading everything this forum had to offer with mika news/concerts/reports to even think that there was such a thing as "too much Mika love" though this thread was started 4 years ago, i feel it could have been started today & alot the posts made by 2007 members, would read exactly the same today. is there too much mika love? i love to read up on him, what he does etc... it's the microscope threads i could do without. i don't fan girl every square inch of his body, like i don't fangirl over everything he does. some stuff interests me, some, not so much but that's ok. it all balances out in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally leave the fangurly threads to those who enjoy that sort of thing. EDIT: apparently I have I am those who enjoy those sort of things really, many of you who is for a long time in this forum are tired of fangurling, becoming more thoughtful and kinda mature. Moreover, you've seen him live much more than, for example, me. Of course you feel like in another level. As for us, who had seen him only 2 or 3 times, fangurling threads are the only way to cope with sadness and distance. I post a pic, girls share my feelings, and I don't feel lonely, if helps to alleviate the things. One more thing- you know for sure (I tell about Sara and girls who call themselves core fans) that you will see him anyway - in the next tour, maybe in some performances. I seriously doubt that I will have such possibility. That is why it is hard for us to understand each other completely, we are in totally different situations and it make us to have severe discussions in the past (I suppose we never got to agree with each other). So, about Mika. I'm on that level now, when it is never enough of Mika love. Of course I can critisize him and disagree, I was almost the only one who didn't like kilt pic (kilt I liked but not da Boss himself) and I laughed at his birdie t-shirt. I see his mistakes and flaws, I'm not blind. But in total I'm always on his side. In all the situations I try to look at things from his point of view, from his side (as much as it is possible. Especially with little information). It is not like serville (or what was ghat word of Sariflor?) attitude. I just love him (again, don't tell me how can I love a man via Internet yes I can!)

I post a pic, girls share my feelings, and I don't feel lonely, if helps to alleviate the things. I think a lot of people can relate to that to some degree, but it isn't necessarily an old core vs newbie thing. As you mentioned in the Mikagasmics last night, Mika underwent a dramatic change in mid-2007 and it started changing the culture of MFC. I think a lot of people were taken aback by the sudden intense focus on Mika's physical appearance. I mean we all know he's a good looking guy, etc., but carrying on about his underwear and his chest has been offputting for some since fairly early days. As is the over-idolization. This thread was started in August 2007 after all. Many of the people who posted here had only seen him once or twice themselves. In all the situations I try to look at things from his point of view, from his side (as much as it is possible. Especially with little information). I like Mika a lot and try to be as empathetic as possible as well but sometimes there are just no excuses IMO. Mika is not my child. He is not even my friend. When it comes right down to it I am his customer. Total unconditional love is not a reasonable expectation in that relationship. Which is not to say you can't love him unconditionally if you want. But you can't expect other fans to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eloise.shaw Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I agree with some people, and others I don't. I agree that maybe the fans who haven't seen him as much, feel like they need to just fangirl over pics, in order to feel happy, or a way to feel less lonely, or to feel like they 'know' Mika just as much as the more 'hardcore' fans do. But I do disagree about the being on his side all the time. He's only human, and if you are his side for everything, then it might not be the best thing, cos he isn't always right. Because we love Mika, the superstar, not Michael Penniman, the human being. And maybe we take it a bit too far sometimes. I'm sure none of his fans know how he acts in a normal days work, or just a normal day. He might actually be incredibly different to how he is with his fans, and onstage. Like with KT Tunstall (a female singer). She says that when she is around the fans and onstage, it's like she puts on a suit, (a tiger suit to be precise) and she's fighting to be a star and just performing cos its what she does. But she is different onstage to how she is offstage. She is two different people. And I believe Mika is too. And most of us are falling in love with the popstar Mika. And to be honest, I'm not sure if it's a good thing. But I suppose no harm has come fromm it. Has it? I hope you understand what I mean, cos I'm not very good at putting ideas into words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guylainem123 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 but the point of this thread isn't how "other fans make us feel" but more how we behave/think when it comes to Mika. is our way of thinking rational and realistic? ex: i read somewhere this week that Mika and his entire family have been gifted with a beautiful smell. now... really????? under normal circumstances, they could have a smell that is distinct to them & it is nice. but all the time? did the sweat glands fairy skip their entire family??? to me, that totally ridiculous. they are only humans, not gods! and for the record, i've only seen Mika twice in concert + 1 tv show, so putting him on a pedestal because i don't see him as often as other fans, doesn't seem to apply. I think it's a personality trait or personal circumstances. all that being said, i still think he is THE BEST popstar i've ever known & i am happy to be part of his fan club.
