laura* Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Hi Carla,I didn´t mean you ! Your pictures are very nice and I love to see them. There are some pictures on Mikasounds, I find a little bit odd to be there . Don´t you know what I mean???? I've seen them...you're talking about the guy who's promoting his own good looks, aren't you. Nope, he's been too busy twitting his exact location in London, being stalked by crazy fans and deleting previous twits while running like a maniac and then hiding in number 10 under Mrs. P's skirts! Did we really need pages of this thread to discuss M's erasing his latest tweet, which some of us might very well do accidentally ? Let's hope he never lets us know that he is a little constipated at the moment or drugists will soon run out of enema... I wonder, when he witnesses such obsession, if he is amused, flattered or worried. Or a bit of the three ? I so hope his bowels are in good working order :wub2 ! Marie-Thérèse Yes, we did. Otherwise this wouldn't be MFC and I wouldn't be laughing my head off here every single day of my paranoid life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Deb Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 3 dates in France?! What do they have that we have not... me too, a bit..I'm very happy he comes to the netherlands, but I'd rather see him going to another country instead of going to France 3times... So now it's three times already? He'll have to add another 95 dates there to satisfy the 50.000 again. It's going to be a busy year. Exactly.. It's not that I'm jealous or anything, but french people have so much of him while others don't have him at all in their countries... So I think that issue should be considered.. In a way I know that he loves France also because he's connected to it and maybe he goes there a lot because he has a lot of people who care to see him more than in any other country but still... Um - the French fans don't seem to know anything about this - could it be a mistake in the article? ok guys Relax !! First, we don't know anything about this neither it's very strange and it's like the Dublin gig...a ghost gig ?? Secondly, it could be a gig he wanted to do, like the Dublin one but they were finally canceled ? Or this could be a secret gig, but honestly, I don't see why.... especially in Bordeaux ?? it's very strange !!! Doing regular gigs and secret ones one day before... Of course, we are lucky because he does many gigs in our country, and many fans all over the world don't have this chance.... but don't blame us, it's not our fault, and imagine if Mika would have done 2 or 3 gigs in your country...you would have been so happy too, no ?? But maybe, we talk about that for anything, because there won't be anything, or other dates will be anounced in various countries... But I think it's not a good idea to anounce dates in two times, because people can do anything and buy tickets, planes etc to go to one date, whereas something is going to happen next to there home and they don't know about it... And Neiobi, don't be scare about the language bareer, we speak english (well, a little ! ) and until now, we don't bite but we'll be pleased to welcome you, and whoever wants to come... Have a nice day guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a nice day guys. I do believe that he is going to spoil those of his fans, all over the world, who so far haven't got the opportunity of seeing him on stage unless they were bursting with money. All those 'forgotten' countries that will soon be put on Mica's map. Unlikely during the acoustic tour though, a tour is very expensive to organise and run and it is worth it only if you fill in very large venues, nevertheless you'll see him perform, and you're going to have the shock of a lifetime, don't forget your oxygen masks, you'll need them ! What do French fans have that makes us so special ? I don't know. I can only answer for the ones I have already met and for myself of course. We have a great respect for him, we don't stalk him -I actually declined many many times the privilege of knowing where he lived in London-, we are pretty intense in our admiration for the artist. I know that I feel so grateful to Mica for what he gives me as a musician that I buy his recordings in triplicate. For the Parc des Prince I had booked four tickets just to be sure I would get a good spot, and still was disappointed, and for Beirut, five tickets, but I was able to sell two of them and give one to the mother of a Lebanese friend of mine. What do I do with the unused tickets ? Keep them as souvenirs. I haven't had time to frame them yet ; I am working on it ! And I am not the only one to do that -buy several copies of CDs and DVDs and several tickets for the same shows-, so I am not the only circulating freely in France. But I am sure most of his British fans behave more or less in the same way. So, why France ? Perhaps because Mica, whether he is lucid about it or not is another issue, believes that his French childhood was an enchanted one. He does believe it ; sometimes, in interviews, you hear him talk and you think : 'That was just the image you want to project, Mica, we are not taken in...' but whenever he talks about his brilliant childhood he is totally sincere, even though details about it he gives here and there, in different interviews, make us think that it was probably 'a little bit of heaven' but also 'a little bit of hell'... I think his privacy will be more protected and respected in France, I mean as far as the press is concerned, laws are pretty drastic here. And it is for him a way of breaking free from his family without too much pain involved as he will still keep a flat in London and it is only one hour's flight or maybe a little longer on the Eurostar from one capital to the other, hardly the other end of the world. He may also be emotionally involved in France, who knows, he clams up like a tickly oyster when people try to invade his secret garden... Sorry I was so verbose ! I meant every word I wrote though...

Kata Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'm thinking that with the invention of twitter and all then it would be really fun to play that game where you have to find Mr. X in London by calculating where he could be if he went two stops from whichever tube station Did anyone else ever play this? ... wonder if Mika would like to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a nice day guys. I don't think anyone is mad at French fans, it's not like you planned the tour And yes, if he decided to play 3 gigs in Poland I'd be VERY happy. Well, even 1 would do But I am a bit confused at the disproportion of the gigs. I don't know the numbers but I think it'd be safe to say he's more or less as popular in the UK as he is in France. I thought it was odd he'd play 2 gigs in Paris and 1 in London. To be honest, I was a bit ticked off, thinking I'd moved to the wrong country Anyway, whatever stands behind these decisions, I don't think they're based on his sentimental feelings about his childhood or any other emotional bonds that he shares with the city. It's not like he's picking up a holiday destination. This is his tour, a part of his career, it's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kata Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Would that be like Mornington Crescent?
