Oh wow I can't believe he's wearing a black suit in that heat. He still looks cool though. The crowd seemed to be really enjoying it. And he looks like he's in good health. I think everyone at the Enmore is going to see an amazing show!

 

I haven't seen WAG but I did find the audience dancing in the rehearsals a bit cringeworthy too. :aah:

From the Aussie thread:

Hi, I'm back from my day out, hot and sticky and still towelless. Apparently the dorm rooms across the road come with towels. Tomorrow I dry myself on a clean sheet. I know where they live now!

 

We got to the Opera house at around 1pm, and checked all around for the best view. We found a place under the stairs (Jericho left at this point to go tot the Casino for the day) and passed a pleasant day chatting to various other people hanging around for Idol. Saw John, Mum and Yasmine arrive, but not Mika. Also saw Guy Sebastian and Michael Buble arrive.

 

the crowds went past in their special priveleged lane(sp?), and when they were just about to start the show, a passerby offered Annie and I a wristband each to get in and see the show! They had spares!

 

We were then very torn about whether to wait more for Mika, or to make sure we caught the entire performance. After teh first song we got scared we might miss him and went in. There was no room anywhere to see more than just part of the screen, except for the stairs, where the security guards wanted us to not be.

 

I asked some nice girls if they could make room, and they did, so we got to sit and see the stage and screens! Mika came on soon, and was absolutely awesome. The screens only showed waist up, so seeing the stage meant we could see the bouncing two foot boy! The fireworks were amazing at the end of WAG. Mika had to finish before he could look properly!

 

We left immediately and returned to the stake-out spot, and saw John and Mum. I approached and spoke to John, who remembered me! I asked him to congratulate Mika on an awesome show, and that I'd see him at Sunrise tomorrow.

 

They left with Yasmine, and then I saw Cherise and Martin plus 2. I asked Martin if he had been as deafened by the fireworks as the audience, and he said he stopped playing because there was no point, fireworks were too loud. None of them had known the fireworks were going to go off.

 

We waited a little longer, and saw Buble and Sebastian leave, waited a bit more, and finally left.

 

early morning tomorrow!

 

Thanks Mouselle!!:biggrin2:

Did anyone else notice that the group that shouted out had coordinated dance moves? So staged. :rolls_eyes:

 

Yes, cos we saw them in rehearsals. Of course it was staged:biggrin2:

I have only watched the rehearsal vid for WAG.

But why is it "sad" & "cringeworthy" because it is produced & choreographed?

I don't undertsand why that is a bad thing?

Because it's fake. :dunno: They are trying to pretend it was some spontaneous dancing coming from the audience and it's not. Maybe you need to be there to see the joy on Mika's face and feel the energy of the crowd when this happens naturally to understand why I'd feel that way.

 

If the dancers were on stage and it wasn't happening in the audience it would be a different story.

 

Anyway it's just my opinion as I wasn't there and haven't even seen the final show yet.

Thanks Christine.

I get what you, S&M & Chickadee are talking about.

I didn't take it that way so I couldn't understand what was so bad about it.

I like the production!

I thought it was great!

I can't wait to see it performed on the show.

Everybody or anybody is sure taking their time putting vids of Mika's performances at Australian Idol on youtube.

There is still only the short one of Rain.
