My Goodness, he speaks German too? Ugh....I can't even get English down and it's my first language. LMAO!! He's just starting to annoy me now. Just kidding....I think he's Brilliant!:naughty:

 

No kidding! What is he, a living & breathing universal translator?? :biggrin2:

 

Violet Sky, thanks so much for the report! :thumb_yello:

Hi there, I’m back. And you are witnessing a newly minted non-Mika-virgin struggling for words. I don’t know what to say, actually, it was overwhelming.

We arrived at about five thirty (I think?) at the venue and noticed far less people than expected waiting there, which made me quite happy as I had already feared to be banned to the back.

Oh and something different first: Mellody, Ela, Reni, I noticed you there but –shame on me, I was too shy to say hello. Good that Ioana wasn’t shy at all and made my brother and my bf sign the “MFC must get official” petition rightaway, haha. Ioana, you’re such a sweet person, oh and I didn’t even introduce myself but I guess you know that was me. And I truly adore your carrot-reindeer head decoration.

In the queue there were two very cute girls behind us, so nice, they were super excited and asked us ‘Have you seen the Mika before?’ ‘Do you think he’s cute?’ What do you answer to such a question? …’Hm, I think he’s very talented’ LOL :mf_rosetinted:

Okay, I don’t know anymore what time it was when we were finally let in, but we had a good spot in the third row a little right-centered. Perfect, if there hadn’t been that group of hyper little girls next to me – super annoying, but well, I can understand that they were so excited. Good they behaved during the show :naughty:

Mika’s cameraman was around but due to my natural fear of cams I tried to hide. Don’t know if I succeeded, though.

Yelle started at 8 PM and funny enough, I totally thought I wouldn’t like her music, but I have to say it seems to work on a stage. I was caught by the rhythm instantly, very bouncy vibe. I liked it. She said a few sentences in her French-flavoured German which was actually cute. After half an hour she finished her set and we were waiting again… about 45 minutes this time.

Shortly before Mika was due to enter the stage I found myself right behind a supertall woman, seeing practically nothing, but this fear turned out to be wrong, because I should find out later that I had a perfect view to where the Mikster spent most of the time.

 

That was the easy part of my report.

More to come when I found the proper words…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, the words don’t come, maybe they don’t exist. ‘Uplifting and heartwarming’ are my favourites so far, I’ll borrow them from the cute TBA swan couple.

I think I’ll leave my personal feelings about that experience in another place and give you the hard facts here.

At about 9:15 PM Mika entered the stage. Before there was the usual Saranayde-angel scene and then he started ‘Relax’.

He wore the fake braces shirt again, he had to, as it was me who had the real silver sequin braces. Real braces, Mika! Thought they might fit my cord hat, so I took them, sorry. The set was the usual one for this tour I think.

He spoke German. Lots. And this was very much appreciated by the audience, the crowd went crazy and it sounded so good. :wub2:

He constantly lost his left in ear monitoring thingie. It didn’t make a difference.

The crowd sang along to each of his songs and he looked as if he couldn’t believe it. He looked so genuinely happy. :original:

What can I say? He radiated pure joy and energy, as usual (I guess).

Martin’s guitar solo to SITM was ace and so was Mikey’s LT solo, it has blown me away. Cherisse was fantastic on the drums AND on the dustbin. So was Mika.

About Sara… I can only say she has a very powerful voice and I liked MM a lot. I couldn’t observe her dominating the performance, maybe they have changed something? Or maybe I was just focused on something else. What she sang matched the rest quite well as far as I could hear. But I also think doing HE more or less alone and not as a duet was a good decision in my book. I loved that version of HE.

I have to say that every single song that was performed tonight was so much better than on the album. And the LICM album is the best – music wise - that has happened to me in a long time.I’m hoarse and deaf and I’ll get a neck strain for sure. My head is a mess. I want to say so much but I can’t.

 

Oh and before you ask: no, I didn’t meet him. Not today.

 

thank you for the report!:punk:

overwhelming and uplifting is the the word, indeed...both for the concert and LICM in general....

and I totally agree that HE is waaaaay better in a duet...

(and now I have figured out you didnt meet him)...so next time....maybe...
