Mary Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm wondering the same anyway thanks for the pics, not sure what I should think about his shirt, the colour looks good on him, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the shape. I love sara's top though They didn't choose... The security guy just picked the first 5 girls he saw. I wasn't one of them. *goes to the corner of the room, crying* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cath85 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 We know that, but in that case they wouldn't have let ANYBODY in. C'mon, John saw us, said we could go in, in groups of 5, and when the first group came out, they just said "No more backstage, Mika is leaving!". Honestly...that sucks big time! what happened inside? maybe he was indeed too tired after the first ones or he had to leave for any other reason, you never know. there can be tons of reasons why he suddenly had to leave Yeah, maybe... I'm not mad at Mika or anything, but I can't help feeling devastated... I completely understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cath85 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The shirt matches the undies for the first time, I say that's brilliant :naughty: well done mika They didn't choose... The security guy just picked the first 5 girls he saw. I wasn't one of them. *goes to the corner of the room, crying* okay I see I hadn't read your other post yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avoca Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 the fact he's now playing gigs so late doesn't help a lot, I guess... I LOVE the tee/frock shape too: it's pure genious. wonder if it's williamson's creation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertina Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Mary you are a professional photographer! your pics are amazing, thanks so much your report about the M&G seems really depressing....probably we'll never know the real reasons who caused this big disappointment, but it really is. i can understand you so well...when you come so close to him and you cannot even say 'hallo'. and see that shining smile just in your face. i hope you can keep the memory of a great gig anyway...as it surely has been. recently john has never let ppl down...

chickadee Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey! Enjoying the pics and that little bit of video. I'm sorry to hear about the M&G. Emotional rollercoaster or what, hey? I have two questions. In a couple of the photos there is a cameraman that doesn't look like Andy. Was Mika filmed for tv or something? Also, did you guys have Gray Skelly or not? (Just wondered if it's arm was mended or if it didn't travel with them...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The article says that the night was saved by Mika, because Duran Duran and especially Beck were really dull. It says that whether you like Mika's sound and look or not, he is an undeniably great performer, with a great live voice. and a bit of a Freddie Mercury comparison (yaaaaawnn, never heard that before). It doesn't say much else about Mika...but it's very positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avoca Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 thanks heaps for translating. I was wondering whether it was positive or not, cause I got the super bock super flop bit. all good that ends good then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafaaaa Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 SO ! It was like: Home: "My mum said to dont wear the white pants . . . but well . . . I'm wearing the white pants" . T-shirt . . . Do I take the gray one ? "MADDY HELP ME!!" I took the colours top . SBSR: 4 pm . Almost nobody . Perfect . I found Neobi (Carlota) . . . great ! "I dont know the others" . Well Carlota knew . So there I was in front of about 10 people and then I was like "I'm Mafaaaa and you are?" . I was particularly drunken of happiness and laughs (Love being me! =D) . Perfect, I know who is everybody, so everything went fine. We were 4hours to wait til the gigs started so . . . Well . . . Things like that happen http://videos.sapo.pt/5uqV3CvfYENiHB4ICAtz I'm the one with the guitar . Mesa: A portuguese band . . . Their gig was fine, bit weird and I just know one Mesa's music . Well . . . it was great when they sang that . =/ Duran Duran: Well . . . Hysteric women crying and screaming and I was like "WTF! O.o" . I didnt like them . . . not very much I was like "Yeah . . . I cant listening it while I'm waiting . I want Mika shut up you !" . And them Simon sream "Mother****ers put your hands in the hand" and everybody rise up their hands and I was like "Mother****ers?! You should be kidding . Well . . . whatever Mika said every ****ing body . . . so!" And I rise up my hand . xD Beck: Just . And my back were hurting and it was being boring and I couldnt get it so I sat down . . . In the front row . xD . But Mika was there listening Beck and shaking his head (xD) ! Whatever I just wanted to hear Mika and then finally Beck is over... MIKA !! They started bringing the flowers, the micro, the battery and the keyboarders, and I was SO exciting . I said "It's so obviously that Cherisse will be there, and David there, Martin in the right and Michey in the left" and then they brought the bass and the guitar and "OMG! I was right! Martin in the right and Michey in the left!" . I was sooooooo anxious and I was all trembling !! After 3 calls, screaming "MIKA MIKA MIKA" at the third the band finally come . I just remmeber that I was screaming!! First Martin and them Michey, after Cherisse and David (I guess) !! Intro Relax . . . MIKA !! Screams... screams... screams !! All I can first remmember !! I was just so ****ing happy to see him and then I just "OMG! White pants and gray t-shirts! I have white pants! ****!

Relax . The usual "Don't sream... SCREAM" that I LOVE !The big smile, the jumps, the energy and the voice . Big Girl "How many Big Girls are in the field tonight?!" . Like ever . Sam dressed like a orange Big Girl Saranayde with a small shorts and a cute top (I dont like her anyway ! xD) Mika sat in the piano and he was like "Olá Lisboa" (translation: Hi Lisbon) everyone screams he was the first that said "Lisboa" then "Como estás?" (translation: How are you?) one more time everybody screaming, and them he killed every simgle person in that field "Peço desculpa porque o meu Português não é muito bom. Mas vou tentar." (translation: I'm sorry because my Portuguese it's not very good. But I'm goig to try!) everyone scream and applaude, it was really respectabble and I dont know how's it is possible but I fell in love a little bit more and just to stop talking he said "Esta música é sobre o meu amigo Billy Brown" (translation: That music it's about my friend Billy Brown) . Well . . . It was amazing ! AOW . . . magic . . . Ring Ring . . . sweaty ! xD Stuck in the middle . . . one of my favourite musics . I dont know . Just perfect . Public singing the music, Mika on the piano playing . And Mika screaming "Stuck in the middle Stuck in the middle Stuck in the middle Stuck in the middle" and public screaming with him . And the music competition, it was unfair . . . draw . (Amazing the competition) . And the clown dancing and Mika making fun of him and then a security taking the clown out of the stage . The moment was coming . Just cant get enough . "I want the tambourine! I dont wanna see Mika dancing with Saranayde!" . Perfect . I jump and jump singing the lyrics of Just cant get enough (I felt a bit alone . . . like the people dont know all the lyrics ! =/) . Mika get the tambourine and start to play it !

Saranayde in the right, Sam in the left, Mika in the middle, the two girls singing and walking to Mika and he in his knees singing "Just cant get enough, Just cant get enough, ohohoh, Just cant get enough, Just cant get enough, ohohoho" and ended with Mika, Saranayde and Sam shaking their butts ! xD ! So funny !! I was just petrify ! Happy Ending ! OMG ! How much do I love that song? I sang it while I was holding the SBSR's plate I almost cut me because I hold it with all my strenght . I felt like the lyrics are just right for the moment I sang it like if was sang it for Mika "Little bit of love" . . . like . . . "Love me perfect guy!" . I almost cried . . . And he screaming in the top of his voice "LITTLE BIT OF LOVE" and I just . When I was losing the hope of seeing him without the t-shirt . . . The magic intro of Love Today . . .
