sariflor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 thanks for the nice comments guys. Will get the vids up as soon as i get home. Suzie, as far as i understood, he's doing the acoustic tour with this band, so Cherisse is the only one that would remain for now. We'll see about the new proper tour,but i get the feeling that the rest of the old band won't be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iadoremika Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just curious as to why it's said that Georgia is one of Mika's new favourite words. I understand it was in a song, yes? But did he mention it (otherwise) a lot or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Clay Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) LA TIMES REVIEW: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/04/mika-makes-a-muppet-proud.html MIKA WOULD MAKE A MUPPET PROUD Watching Mika perform live, one may get the impression that someone is raucously pulling strings behind the scenes. Mika’s spindly arms flailed in the air, moments before his hands quickly came together for some rapid-fire soul claps. His brown mop top constantly shook, and his thin-as-birch legs swayed behind his keyboard, leading the audience into playful chorus -- sometimes one about lollipops. But make no mistake, Mika is not channeling a Muppet. Although Wednesday night’s sorta-secret show at the Roxy featured the Beruit-born, London-bred popster in a stripped-down acoustic set, Mika’s brand of candy-coated, piano pop is serious business. His 2007 debut album, "Life in Cartoon Motion," is said to have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, earning him accolades ranging from Grammy nods to BRIT awards. The intimate performance at the Roxy marked a back-to-basics setup for the 25-year-old. Just two acoustic guitarists and a drummer accompanied Mika as he helmed the keys. His soaring and stutter-stepping falsetto is the stuff of camp sing-a-longs, and his catchy hooks are like jazzy 1950s detergent jingles. The audience bought what Mika was selling. Nearly every word and "tra-la-la" wafting from the classically trained vocalist sailed back at him from the singing crowd. His unequivocally unobjectionable hits such as “Grace Kelly” and “Lollipop” channeled the piano-glam of Elton John, Scissor Sisters and Freddie Mercury. One audience member particularly enjoyed the show: Perez Hilton. The gossip blog titan organized the free gig and announced it the day before. “I wanted this to be a special event for fans,” Hilton said, “and some of the stuff he played is new material.” The Hilton-sanctioned show preceded the release of Mika’s acoustic EP, which he has been recording in Los Angeles. Mika’s solo piano pieces even moved burlesque goddess and Hilton cohort Dita Von Teese, who broke from her stony-faced shtick to rhythmically nod her head. After all, Mika’s boyish stage presence and bouncing numbers break down the accouterments of the irony age, and resurrect that hidden joy of exuberant, Muppet love. -- Drew Tewksbury Edited April 16, 2009 by A.

Nahhhce I also find it amusing that he keeps saying that word.. his new favourite word that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Ok, I've never been so depressed after a Mika gig in my life. I've been crying all day like a psychopath, and it's because I miss him so so so so much. I feel dead inside, as if Mika has died or something. It's very strange. But then, I realized that Nono, the girl who had been waiting in the queue before ANYONE, the girl who had been feeling sick to her stomach for days just knowing she was going to see Mika, was left out. That crushed me. We had to get her in there. The fact that you were worried so much about me and how selfless you are makes me want to cry. You're so sweet Has someone recorded the whole gig? I´d like to watch the all the songs. Thanks guys you´re the best I have. I'm in the process of uploading them all to Youtube now. I said that I was disappointed not to hear Relax and he said that he wanted to do it but he'd forgotten all the cords and just sat there thinking: 'how on earth did it go??" so in the end he decided not to do it cause he'd get them all wrong and 'would look like a dick'. I really hope that he'll rehearse that one for the acoustic tour, because the acoustic Relax has to be one of the most beautiful things EVER!! I knew he didn't remember! Jeesh, he could've just asked me to play "The Hilton-sanctioned show preceded the release of Mika’s acoustic EP, which he has been recording in Los Angeles." So that's the secret project... YAY!

dcdeb Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 i think he mentions it in a song ... i didn't work out all the lyrics yet The word Georgia is actually in two of the new songs -- guess that's why it struck some as his new "favorite" now LA TIMES REVIEW:http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/04/mika-makes-a-muppet-proud.html MIKA WOULD MAKE A MUPPET PROUD[/b] Alice, and all, I started a thread earlier today for all of the blog reports and news items that have been popping up relating to the gig here: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18257 I posted this article along with several others there. If you run across any other reports from NON-MFC sources, can you post them there? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
