findingmywords Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thank You Avoca!! They're amazing I just hope that in the US they'll have the Deluxe edition on the day it comes out... I need that deluxe edition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I don't think we're going to agree on this one I didn't see any "frantic" in it either (although I know he admits to being terrified). I was awestrcuk by his energy. And he filled that stadium with his presence in a way that neither Bruce Springsteen (master of the stand-still-and-sing show) nor Eminem (who had a circus in Milton Keynes but not Glasgow) could- and they'd filled more than a few stadiums between them by the time I saw them. I thought the singing was fine too. And I thought the set which he's so amazingly proud of was actually better than he's getting accross. He said in his first vlog that it was "stunning" but you're only stunned once, that set was constantly changing and amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in his first vlog that it was "stunning" but you're only stunned once, that set was constantly changing and amazing You see I didn't see most of that. Yes the set was good and the show was interesting, but it had no atmosphere for me. I didn't see any more energy than I have seen at other gigs , other than the obvious because he had to cover more ground. I was totally bemused at times at what was going on on the stage, awe struck by the number of people in the stadium, but for me, it was by far my least favourite gig. But then I guess he wasn't out to please people like me who prefer smaller shows and that's something I may just have to live with in the future. It left me feeling totally empty. Sorry Mika.

xlindee Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 So, did you like the gig on the first dvd better then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Are you speaking after seeing the gig, or after seeing the DVD? I know that you were there on the 4th, but have you watched the DVD yet? I've got one of the promos, though I've also ordered from Amazon (which is where he says he was terrified and enthuses about the set) but I'm saying what I thought (and wrote in my journal) on the night. (Though I haven't changed my opinion.) I think it might make a difference that I was way further back than you and got more of a big picture perhaps? (Though I could have been a whole lot nearer and still got that.) I would imagine that to you he kind of kept flashing past, and was sometimes near and others almost out of sight. I could see him moving and was impressed. Though come to think the sound quality, though way better than Eminem, was patchy where I was. I was much nearer the stage for BS- but he barely moved (sang for 3.5 hours though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 So, did you like the gig on the first dvd better then? Well I certainly watched it often enough (it's OK, I know you were asking the others) I like this one though- dvd wise, I certainly prefer it. But I wouldn't have minded if he'd swapped "Just cant get enough" for "I want you back"- my favourite live cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaring Simpson Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Oh, I don't mind it that you answer:bleh: I'm just happy it wasn't Missionary Man:naughty: I quite liked that.

xlindee Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I quite liked that. Though I must admit I'm not keen on SAranayade and Sam rapping in either. I just hate Missionary Man. I think he did a great cover of it, but I just hate the song. Even Mika can't change that:bleh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire cat Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 all this talk about the new DVD is making me drool I missed the gig and won't be getting the DVD any time soon... so I have to rely on your POV for now.. and so far so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlindee Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) look at mika's right arm.. No it's not real, cause in Amsterdam we saw him shirtless and he didn't have that. Oh, and he didn't have it in Paris either when he was shirtless. Geez, the guy likes fake ones, doesn't he:bleh: Edit: Maybe he's experimenting with fake ones cause he's planning to get a real one? I mean, remember the tattoo blogs? Edited November 8, 2008 by xlindee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avoca Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I also don't recall it in arras and that was the day after. but he's it on in all the paris shooting. if he'd cover it with make up, it'd be to see anyway, wouldn't it? esp. after all the sweating that he does on stage..
