Hi !!!!

I was in Archachon so I can tell you how it was ..

I arrived at 7 o'clock in the morning to be sure I ll be at the first rank...

We reached the first rank at about 7 pm after a long and sunny day !

Bp Zoom started playing at 8pm and a half.. I don't like that band ...

Then Mika came on stage at 9pm and a half or maybe more I don't remember...Just before that we saw Andy who was filming us (hope we will be in the vids of Mikasounds !!!)

He sang all the LCM plus Grace kelly in french, Holy Johnny, Just can't get enough and at the end, He sang again "Relax".. The atmosphere was awesome, and we got the place to move to dance, bounce, sing !!!

The gig ended at about 11pm ...

I waited for him outside and an hour and a half lated, I had my autograph and the opportunity to talk to him !!

He is very simple, kind, generous, he talks to you and look at you in such a way, I just can't resist !!! He is so cute !! Anyway, It was great !!! I hope he enjoyed it too !!!

 

 

Love your report, and you are right, he is very sweet and very charming, and it is lethal to look him right in the eyes,LOL!

Someone who speaks far better French than I do should pop over to Mikawebsite and congratulate them on behalf of MFC.

 

I know there's been some Us vs. Them sometimes, but at the end of the day we're all a bunch of crazy fans addicted to the Mika drug. And this news report about them is pretty freakin' awesome. :wub2:

i agree in total...ok...i think i'll go and make a fool of myself with my french!:thumb_yello:

 

EDIT!

I CANNOT SEE MIKAWEBSITE FORUM ANYMORE!!!

Hey! I have been away from MFC forums for almost a week but today, finally, got a chance to drop in. Now I don't know on which gig thread to post :roftl:

 

I want to say thank you for your reports, pics, videos and other stuff. Many thanks for sharing them (and bless people who started this site long ago :roftl::thumb_yello:)

 

I just keep reading and taking (pure) pleasure

 

I'm happy for French mikafans if the TV thing meant a lot to them. I don't know whether Olga is one of them but must admit she is phenomenon, isn't she? Seems she doesn't know herself how many Mika gigs she had been to. And she is right: who cares whether the number is 18, 19 or 20? :wink2: Olja, ty prosto prelest, and I envy you because of the freedom you have.

 

And last but not least. Did anyone notice the title they had put to the article? En Attendant Mika. Isn't that brilliant?!! (At least we know that Mika had come when Godot never showed up if I remember right. But the anxious of waiting is same :))

So I arrived at 8:50am in the morning with two people from Mikawebsite. The rest of the band joined us a bit later. We were around 15.

 

We spent a very long and very hot day waiting (sunburns, sunscreen and all), no toilets around, nothing around to eat either, for anything we had to walk more than 10 minutes.

 

A journalist from Sud-Ouest (newspaper) came and interviewed us, took a couple of pictures of us with the new banner (absolutely wonderful banner that Biche, Mélie, Orphée and Ighins made, you can even see Yasmine, Mika's mum and John on it, John is bl**dy awesome, too funny to see - God they's so imaginative and talented!).

 

Then later a journalist from France 3 Aquitaine (French channel for this area) came to interview us, I was away at that time so I escaped :naughty:.

 

Some guys (from security I think) were given orders to find girls for the gig so Ighins, Noaa and Sofia were chosen, but they came back later saying they did not know what it would be for and if it would work. We found out afterwards that it was to be big girls, and that they were not big enough for the role. I think it's they who told about Lululitalienne, so Lulu was being called with a couple of other girls we did not know and got chosen to be big girl. The others did not fit either so she told Pamela (the one who was in charge of chosing big girls about me). She came in the crowd I talked to her and she just replied: hi how are you doing, assessing me from head to toe... That was a bad start :naughty:... Then she called for me again, looked at me again and told me something like as a spare... Anyway I did not get chosen, and Lulu explained me afterwards that the corset being a unique size, I was too big. I was not disappointed though as I had put no hope in that, and I'm not sure I'd manage anyway. At 6pm Lulu left us to take on her role!

 

We had implemented the number system as it always worked great but the security did not want to hear about it (we had a bit of a rough time as some people complained and lied about their arrival, security told us off, but it went fine after all).

 

At 6.30pm the doors opened, we were quite stressed because there were three entrances, we had chosen what we thought the best one (less stairs to climb down and less risks to fall...), but it went fine too, we all ended up first row. I was first row by the left corner of the catwalk, but the stage was so high I could nearly see nothing....

We saw Andy who interviewed Jocelyn and Valerie I think, and also Biche and Mélie. He told us that they all loved the fake newspapers that some of Mikawebsite had made, and he wanted to interview us about it (who made what, etc, where we were today etc etc). He did not stay long, but it was nice seeing him. The banner was on the barrier.

 

After a couple of hours BP Zoom started, it was not so bad after all. We had heard them soundchecking earlier and as their lyrics were not really... over the top, we actually enjoyed it and had fun singing the lyrics we had heard I don't know how many times in the afternoon! It was a band of cute guys, quite nice, was OK.

 

After them, the crowd of course was screaming MI-KA MI-KA MI-KA! One must understand that for Arcachon it was such a HUGE deal to have Mika perform there, the security was all proud to tell us that some people were traveling a couple of hours from all the area to see his show (pff, a couple of hours only? Not such a big deal for us :naughty:). The velodrome is supposed to welcome 8000 people, and they got a derogation for a special extension for 9000 people for Mika. It is the first time they had so many people here for a gig.

 

Then Martin arrived, David and the rest.

 

I could not see Cherisse nor Mikey as the stage was so high (I never managed to see them unless they went front for their part of the show). No Dolly Parton, straight to Relax, and then Mika on!

 

We were all so excited to see Lulu performing as big girl, and she was STUNNING when she came on stage, so beautiful, and dancing real great! Actually we then were not looking at Mika, we were screaming to her LULU LULU, with thumbs up and all! She played a lot with Samantha, she was so at ease on stage, she was incredible! We wanted to take many pictures and videos but the security was quite tight with cameras so we could not take much, we had to act real quickly everytime we tried to take one (sorry guys I never have a camera with me, so you won't get pictures from me).

 

The show was really good, not my best, but the crowd was so happy to have Mika, he felt very welcome. When Mika was at the piano I could only see his head :naughty:. But I got plenty of eye contacts, which BY FAR made up for it! Mika had recognized our group, so he was often looking at us. Saranayde had seen us too. After having spent many concerts and getting only one eye contact ever, getting a few last night, and seeing he recognized me was quite a perk :wink2:!

 

Mika messed up the lyrics quite a few times, opening his mouth to start a line, and bing, having to stop cause he could not remember it :roftl:. Thanks God we went on for him :naughty:.

 

He did GK in French and Relax as encore. When performing GK in French, he told us that singing them in French was the explanation why he got messed up with the lyrics of his other songs in English... :naughty:.

 

The crowd screamed for him again but he did not come back this time, as usual. We went all then to wait for him outside.

After waiting for a while, John came, assessed the situation (we were at least 120 I think), then talked to security and they put a system which Olga told me was used in Italy: they created a way between two barriers, Mika would be at one end and we would see him one by one. We waited for a couple of hours. Lulu was back so she explained us about her experience, of course she was all excited! I will let her the pleasure to explain you all (I'll ask her tomorrow if she can post her experience on this thread when she's back to a computer). But three big ones (I hope she won't mind me telling them):

 

1) Mika introduced her to Christian Louboutin, very naturally. Christian showed up and Mika was talking with Lulu, so he just introduced them to each other: Lucinda: Christian; Christian: Lucinda :mf_rosetinted::roftl:!

 

2) The French lyrics were not written by Mika himself, he wrote only a little part of it. Lulu asked Mika about the lyrics cause we can't understand everything. He said: wait, I have them written I'll give them to you. When he gave them to her, she asked for him to sign them, he said no, saying that he did not write them, that it was Dorian.

 

Lulu: I don't know Dorian

 

Mika: WHAT, YOU DON'T KNOW DORIAN???? (Damned :naughty:)

 

3) She's been proposed to be big girl again tomorrow! They also asked her to investigate to find big girls and lollipop girls if she knows some potential ones

 

So we were waiting in line, I was towards the end with Arnaud. Our girls with the banner were ahead of us (maybe 5 meters), we saw Mika smile and laugh, and I believe (but I have to confirm with the girls) that he called John so he could see himself on the banner. The girls told me afterwards that Mika loved it. And they had decided to give this one to him so he got it!

 

When my turn came, I was quite joyful, threw a big: Salut Mika comment ça va? He replied by a ça va, signed my ticket (got an eye and a star also on it) and said: C'est bon de te voir (good to see you), putting his arm on mine. Then I asked him a question about a project on Mikawebsite I had been asked about and he told me Lulu had a already asked him, so I was oops you know we try to make sure to fill the missions we've been given. I told him see you in La Rochelle but he was already with Arnaud so these words were for nothing lol...

 

When Mika was done, his mum called from the door of the bus, asking who made this wonderful banner, she sent Andy to collect the names of Mélie, Biche, Orphée and Ighins. Would be great if they could post a blog about it! Mrs Penniman loved the banner, and when the girls told her that she was on it, she got back in the bus to look at it again, she had not realised she was on it!

 

That's my report for today! I don't know if I'll be able to post a report from La Rochelle, but we'll be more (around 30 of us) so I'm sure other people from Mikawebsite who also are on here will report (like Pamette).

 

Goodnight all! Got to wake up very early tomorrow !
