Jazzy Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Aaaaah I'm still so high from this gig. I spent last night (the tiny bit I stayed awake for at least - was in bed by 10.30 - watching the whole concert again on my laptop. I'm so pleased that it was literally a matter of about a second between the vids - I didn't want to miss the talking bits so it was like, end of song, applause, stop recording, start again, chat, next song, repeat. I kept randomly grinning in my writing workshop today. People must have thought I was mad. We were reading some Ernest Hemingway and I just broke into a huge grin when something was said about some bloke getting his head blown off, but actually, I was just reliving the sentence swap between Mika and me. (Doesn't really count as a conversation, so sentence swap it is). Goddddd, I'm gonna watch the videos again. Oh, and if you watch Billy Brown, he does this amazingly adorable thing towards the end when he's doing his 'do ba ba, baaa ba baaa' and he adds in this little twiddly bit and looks at the King's Singers dead cheeky as though he's thinking 'yeah, look at me sing, I can do it too'. It's brilliant. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm not going to add a review because you have all seen the videos and know what a stunning performance he gave. He sang beautifully, he was happy, the crowd was very responsive, and the King's Singers added a new dimension to the songs. I really hope some at least some of this amazing evening is shown on TV soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 A posting from the King's Singers on their website 20 / 11 / 2009 - LONDON CONCERT WITH MIKA Two nights ago we sang at Union Chapel at a concert put together by BBC Radio 1 DJ, Jo Whiley, in aid of the learning disability charity, Mencap. The invitation to perform came directly from the singer songwriter, Mika, and over a period of months Phil has been working on arrangements of eight Mika songs - some from his last album 'Life in Cartoon Motion' and some from the new album 'We are Golden'. This was an extraordinary meeting of musicians. Mika's talent is prodigious, not only as a singer and performer, but also as a songwriter. When we went for rehearsals in Putney on the day before the concert, we realised just how fabulous Mika's band is too - a bunch of top class musos and lovely people with it. The concert in London's Union Chapel was part of Mencap's 'Little Noise Sessions" which have been filmed by Channel 4 for broadcast in December. It is anticipated that one of the songs we sang with Mika - 'Rain' - will be within the programme. The evening was incredible fun and as soon as we have the official footage and photographs we will share them on this site, YouTube and beyond. There is already a huge amount of video footage from personal hand held cameras and mobiles on the web. For now, though, we share just a couple of shots taken at the rehearsal and show. More soon. http://www.kingssingers.com/news.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodes100 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have been really enjoying watching the vids of this excellent evening. Not to take away from Sarah & Jazzy as I thoroughly enjoyed & favourited a lot of your vids. Here are three vids by Rakpenguin with superb sound: Any Other World By The Time Over My Shoulder I didn't know that Mika wrote "Over My Shoulder" when he was fifteen years old. Wow! Kudos Mika!

Anyone whoever gets offended because people watch other videos needs to get their lives sorted out - some people only get their wheely bins collected once a fortnight, now THAT is a major world concern, not youtube trifles. I'm glad you enjoyed my videos though. Hopefully from all the different videos, anyone who wasn't there can enjoy it almost as much as those of who were.

Ruth Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Can I thank everyone who has shared photos reports and videos. I've been kept happily busy for a long tme. I wonder if anyone can help me though... Jazzy perhaps .... My computer seems to have lost its ability to download the YouTube videos except as .flv and my converting program has lost its ability to 'rip' the mp3 audio track off the saved video. So what I need if it's possible, is for someone else to do it and make it downloadable. Is that possible please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Mika - Over My Shoulder @ Union Chapel Little Noise Sessions 181109 Wow, I love his little chat at the beginning. Does he really say he wrote Over My Shoulder when he was 15?! I can't even wrap my head around how astounding that is. Go Mika! I hate to say it, because this version is lovely, but I don't think it's as good as the version with Alexander. Sorry Kings Singers, I'm happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but I prefer the Mika/Alexander combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
