armande Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 there are some groups yet that havn't had a tour from mika yet and been able to show their appreciation via a project-like thing at all im talking about the aussies in particular, however we discussed the fact that he is probably getting an incredible amount of books and have taken that into consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kates Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I think we should just limit them, like give him something for each holiday. Or maybe to a project every couple of months or so (maybe more then a couple) Something like that, and maybe we could think of something other then a book? I know it's probably the easiest thing, but we need to get more creative! And not so many messages to him, imagine if you had a zillion messages to read?

Hannah Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I don't think there's a problem, personally. Sure, there are a lot of projects here, but not all of them are for Mika, and what's wrong with giving him stuff? I'm sure he doesn't mind. I honestly don't think that he just puts all of the stuff he gets in a giant pile in his flat. I'm sure he appreciates it, and plus, who doesn't like getting gifts? I think that projects are a lot more efficient than a bunch of people giving him stuff individually. At least this way, it's all collected together in an organised manner and he can flip through it or look at it or whatever when he pleases. I really don't think it's an issue, to be honest. It's just fans showing their appreciation. It gives some fans that can't see him all the time a chance to let themselves be known and contact him in some way. I think the projects are a positive thing. I know that I, personally, really felt a sense of "togetherness" when I was working on the Christmas Project with the people on the board. It was nice. I hardly think that Mika would have a reason to complain about people giving him gifts and writing him letters. If I were him, I think I'd enjoy reading letters from fans. He may get a lot and way more than he can read at once, but who says he has to read them all now? He has years to get through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the projects serve as a person's only means of communicating with the big M...like fans from Argentina or Mexico who havn't been able to see him... It can get redundant, but I don't think mika will ever say "stop sending me stuff." I think mainly it's the people on here who are annoyed...not me though...If I don't want to participate, than I won't.

I really do wonder where the poor boy is going to put all the stuff he gets given and think we should stop, but do feel it's a little bit unfair for people who've already given stuff to suddenly be saying that those of us who haven't had the opportunity to yet shouldn't be able to. It's a bit of a quandry, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 As you already know, I totally agree on this. I think an annual yearbook thing that is bound and easy to store is sufficient. Mika is already getting individual gifts by the truckload and doesn't need more massive projects. If it's not consumable, wearable or disposable it's going to be overwhelming soon if it's not already. He lives in a London flat, not a Hollywood mansion, and can't keep all this stuff forever. I also think the pressure involved both in giving the projects and Mika receiving them has begun to defeat the purpose. There was a note of obligation evident in his thank you to MFC for the birthday gift and he shouldn't have to feel obligated to accept things from anyone. Suzy, for example, also felt pressured to get him his gift under particular circumstances and others were extremely disappointed when they weren't as successful. If we focus all our efforts on one annual project it will mean that everyone can participate because they won't be confused about what project is happening when. It will probably be a lot easier to set up a meeting with Mika rather than having to hunt him down and hope for the best every month or two.

Hannah Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 That poll is kind of misleading... There needs to be an option for "projects are okay," or something, because the choices are basically either "stop," "slack off," or "let's start more projects!nownownow!"

BonjourMika1990 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 one project a year would be cool...the huge yearbook... but I still think we should do something really creative...not computer tech...like the birthday project so maybe 2 a year:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the man owns a puppet theater:roftl: yes i think because of the way he usually react we all want to give him more and more... i totaly know what u mean... but i have a feeling he is less excited about these things now than he was few months ago... and i think if he will get less, he will be happier when he do get something... cause if he gets something every night at every concert its not THAT interesting anymore... its like my little cousin! lol he gets so many gifts allways and he dont eppreciate it now...

Well a few months ago I think he was shocked to have the response that he did from everyone...

Aaurora Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 There has been some interesting comments posted here so far. I think you need to think of yourself in the same situation and think of how you would feel to be getting projects and handmade items from your fans every couple of months. Wouldn't it make you feel wanted and loved? And how would you feel if your fans NEVER gave you anything? Or maybe gave you one thing and then never again....would you feel unpopular and not as loved by your fans? After all, it is the fans like us that keep his music alive and make the record studios produce more of his music. It is the fans that enable him to do tour after sucessful tour. If I were in his position, I would be honored and flattered that all these beautiful people feel compelled to give me gifts. It does not bother me if he does not keep everything he gets. He would have so much stuff, it would be impossible to keep every last bit of fan mail, gifts etc. He has probably thrown a lot of stuff away. BUT he would at least look at it first, feel appreciated and a little bit special and THEN throw it away I do not endorse a fan project every week, but maybe something smallish every couple of months is ok. On his birthday, save the most special projects for this time. After all, he gives us the gift of music. We're giving the gift of love.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I can understand why the suggestion has been made for people to give less, but I can also understand why some who haven't yet had the opportunity to see him might want to be included in giving him a gift. I don't know how fair it is to say the gift-giving needs to stop when quite a few of us here have already had the opportunity to give him something (some of us it's been multiple times..)

BonjourMika1990 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 lol the thought of mika throwing something away is just:shocked: I'm trying to picture it, and I just can't. For me, putting myself in that situation... I couldn't just throw a letter away, even if I had already read it and appreciated it. I mean that's someone's heart and soul... Obviously the practical thing would be to throw it away, but we've already established that mika is definatley not practical and honestly if he started to just throw his gifts out...than it would be a bit diva-ish and therefore not really him. I just can't see him doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
