avoca Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Yeah we talked to Andy a couple of times outside and then just before the show. Andy stood up on a shelf on the barrier right in front of Suzy to film the crowd. I asked him to tell Mika to do the same thing - i.e. jump off the stage and get up on the barrier. He indicated Mika might be up for it and we talked about how it should be a good show because it was intimate and the crowd was excited. I said I was actually surprised that they'd chosen such a small venue for Toronto and Andy said they didn't know whether to expect these sell-outs in North America and they usually err on the side of caution when planning these things because it's better to have an enthusiastic sell-out crowd than a half-empty venue. It's probably best that Mika didn't jump down because I think this crowd would have gone apesh*t and crushed us. They were even going nuts trying to be seen on camera when they realized that Andy was Mika's cameraman and Mika was going to watch the footage. Suzy has tempted me to go to NY, but I think it might be a bit much. I am really wiped out and we'd probably have to buy expensive tickets since the show is sold out. I'm already going to London again soon and I don't know that NY is going to be much better. It's twice the size of the Toronto venue and I don't think there's any chance we're going to be front and centre again. thx a lot for the "report" I agree about the sell out venue rather than a half empty one (always leave them hungry for more ). he did the same in italy too, first time, and cause it was the unique italian date, he'd to change location 3 times, since the ticks kept selling out SO fast. he ended up playing in a venue 3 times bigger than the first one he had picked, fully booked, and I think the biggest he'd been playing in back then.

Em' Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ok I know the grooming term only for hair, but I wondered... Maybe Jack you mean that he shaved EVERYWHERE, even under the armpits? I've been to plenty of his shows and usually he always left it there... But this time.... Is it what you mean Jack? And thank you guys for all these great pictures, videos and reports!

I have a hotel room all to myself right now... wouldn't mind roommates! And I think the NY venue is just 3000... what was Toronto? Didn't I read 2500? Or was it smaller?

-Jennie- Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 When I went Christmas shopping (with my Christmas money) I bought three hoodies, 3 polo-necks, and 3 V necks!! Mika, is that you? I do miss the change of clothes though, not because I get bored of them or anything but because it was easier to identify an outfit with a particular concert. It was much easier to find photo's and video's and stuff. If someone says where was this photo taken, you'd get a load of people going "THAT'S THE SOMERSET HOUSE T-SHIRT!!!" or "THOSE ARE THE GLASTONBURY TROUSERS!" Now it's impossible to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beauty Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I suppose we have to re-define what we mean when we refer to the "Mika-style" *sigh* at least when it comes to concerts, on tv- shows and the like he still tends to wear different outfits.
