LebAngel Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 then he introduced billy brown, the way he does in all other concerts ... but in Lebanese"haydi il ghineyeh issit sadi2eh billy brown" "this song is the story of my friend billy brown" then the stage went dark... and "Rafa" voice started reciting her story (taken from the album) This was my favorite live song ever... i can not describe the way he played the song or the way the crowd interacted... it was very intimate a his voice was perfect... the whole stage was dim except the clown's face in the background towards the end of the song he left the piano and encouraged the crowd to sing along... Then there was ring ring (i think, am not sure of the order) more to come.... Any Other World.....every time I listen to this song I think about Lebanon....so I understand hhow special and emotional it must have been, played in the Martyrs' square...

dilek Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 the energy was enormous, Mika looked like he drank a whole case of red bull, .... totally off topic but a few spoons of nutella has the same effects with redbull,i'm talking from experience:naughty: great report racha thanks!!! i'm so happy for him... and pics?

kaatje066 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 then he started clapping and asking the crowd to clap along ... and he started "stuck in the middle" the energy was enormous, Mika looked like he drank a whole case of red bull, asking the crowd to sing along, teasing them (similar to other shows), he was super playful and having fun... so was the crowd... a tap dancer with a huge mask danced in front of the crowd, mika played along with him, kneeling next to his shoes with his microphone to get the taping sound... then both danced like kids on stage (that was really funny and made people laugh), then the tap dancer was escorted out of the stage by a huge security guy - Mika interrupted to song's lyrics with a cheeky "bye" to the dancer followed by "I just can't get enough", it was difficult seeing him stand still as he was jumping up and down during the whole song, dancing with the backup singers who did a great job singing along... the crowd (especially the 80's generation all sang and danced along) Love today intro started .... Great report Racha, I'm all waiting for the next part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miro Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 In Grace Kelly, he held the umbrella again... then on top of Mikey.. the threw the umbrella to the crowdthe crowd went insane (as usual, it is the most popular song) and I think he wore a different shirt there... he said goodbye, but no one left.. the crowd was expecting Lolipop... Technicians got the white sheet ready, shadows started forming... and the picnic act started... the funny thing, this picnic act was more PG 13.. and not as steamy as the ones I have seen in London and Amsterdam... but at least the Teddy bears were kissing ... the usual act, with the bad bunny, then he came with his toy riffle.. shooting the bad bunny and Lollipop started.. in the meantime, and through out the whole concert, the pizza slice and diet coke kept going back and forth by the crowd to wards the stage... everyone was in a playful mood... in Lollipop he got several more inflatables... one looked like an ice cream but with the word "Lollipop" written on it... The lollipop girls distributed lilipops... he was wearing a tiger uniform.. seemed to be having more fun than a kid on his birthday... no one could wipe that grin off his face while he was singing.. while he was singing lollipop, a huge balloon blew right next to him and he jumped and he laughed at himself... THAT WAS HILARIOUS It must have been hilarious indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soosh Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 mm quick question, what did he mean when he said that it all depends on the venues and staffs? for future reference i'd like to know and prepare for a meet and greet and know if it will actually happen..my sister told me that it was impossible considering the fact that it was a big venue and that meet and greets are usually held at smaller local venues. Rasha, have u met Mika himself before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanaCheaib Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi Dana.. I was standing with my friends right in front of the stage (maybe 2nd or 3rd row), I guy infrontof me with a Lebanese flag I think I saw the guy with the flag... I actually couldn't keep my eyes of the stage, it was such a great show:wub2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soosh Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 it was indeed lol i was surrounded by *older* ladies that kept trying to hush me down but i mean you come to a concert, you expect it to be noisy right ? besides im a mika fan i can not and will not contain my excitement when he's right infront of me! that was the only thing that kinda pissed me off, rest of the night was amazing - they left eventually hurrah!

QUOTE] HI Racha, thank you for reporting us the concert with so many details and for transmitting all the emotion you’ve felt inside there. I’m sure that Mika’s realized a huge dream with this concert in Beirut and certainly his emotion was shared with his family. :cheerful_h4h:They were glad to go back “home”. … home sweet home… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
