CazGirl Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't think it will be on TV. It may turn up on the mencap site though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkly1 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Is the gig going to be on TV????? Please God let that be true!!! yes I think so, but probs not whole gig I think it will be chucnks of them cos there have been a lot of them, you CAN however buy a usb or order, I think of the best bits of the sessions from http://www.littlenoisesessions.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodes100 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Tnx, Sparkly for the pics! I was never jealous of anyone going to a gig ever since i joined this forum, but if there is a gig i was jealous not to be there is this one! I agree Ms. Wonka! I have watched & thoroughly enjoyed a lot of vids of Mika's concerts & shows everywhere - but - I think this might be the BEST gig up to now. WOW! I can't believe the vids! Thanks Jazzy! The vids are stunning! Mika & the King Singers are amazing! The venue is beautiful! I am running out of superlatives to describe this evening at Union Chapel! Bravo! kudos!

A. Clay Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) What a night !! . . . PS, why can't all gigs be so respectful like this one was, everyone took cue's from Mika and the band, we clapped when they wanted us to, stood up and danced when they wanted us to, sat down respectfully to listen and enjoy to the full the slower songs, laughed at his little jokes etc, it was just wonderful....*sigh* . . . I can't help but think this is appreciated . . . Edited November 19, 2009 by A. Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I haven't even read all the reports or watched all the videos yet, just a few, but already I am getting a sense that this was an AMAZING gig. The videos I've seen (thanks to Jazzy, I think it is) are brilliant. He should do every gig with the King's Singer's (well ok not every gig ), the arrangements sound great. Mika himself seemed so focused on his vocals too. Maybe that's because he felt under special pressure to be spot on, given the quality of the backing singers, but whatever the reason, it paid off. Much as I adore the energy of his jump-around weird-dancey gigs, I also love to hear him SING, and sing well, and be note perfect. It's fundamentally the reason I am a fan...his voice. Sorry to be obvious but sometimes that just needs saying! Right, off to read up properly. Thanks in advance to everyone and Caz, I am looking forward to your vlog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and sorry you can't have been there, lets hope he does more of this kind of thing in future, he is just sooo versitle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkly1 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I KNEW IT'D BE HIM!!!There was a guy in the second row (press section) with his son and I remembered that I found a 2007 Mika gig review from Paul K. in which he mentions how much he enjoyed the gig with his son, Daniel. HE WAS SINGING AND ENJOYING HIMSELF!!! (P.S. I am absolutely sure he had nothing to do with that malicious tweet and last night he actually had the chance to clarify it with Mika in person...) Oh I am soo pleased to hear that, we chatted to him I think was he behind us? cos the press guy behind us seemed really into Mika. I hope someone mentions it to the culprit who DID accuse Mika..AS IF!!!GRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaring Simpson Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't think it will be on TV. It may turn up on the mencap site though. Last rumour I heard had highlights (prob not just Mika) on channel 4 who interviewed Daisylou. People Who Are Observant (ie, not me) said that the pros didn't video the whole thing To be honest, I'd love to hear it on cd- I'm a big believer in fans singing along at gigs, but you couldn't always hear the KS Am I alone in wishing Mika had let them do a song on their own, maybe near the beginning?

French Deb Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Lady Jane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI2garv4ANo Oh thanks for the vidéo.... it's so beautiful I agree, I loved more than any other time I have seen them every single song he sang with them and on his own, the sound at this gig was just outstanding, in fact during OMS I got a tad emotional and shed the odd tear, partly due to the beauty of the sound, partly at the purity of his voice, partly in awe of his talent. I totally understand you... only seeing vids make me feel so moved and got tears... I would have loved to hear this gig... I can't add much more to that, I felt exactly the same way about this gig, it was an honour to be there for sure. I am glad I wasn't the only one moved to tears by "Over My Shoulder." I know it probably seems a bit exsessive, but I'll try to expain why. you're sat there, in this beautiful building with it's hauntingly stunning lighting. The sound carries up way into the rafters (or w/e they are called), you're being entertained by a beautiful young man looking so sophisticated, while he etches out the finer details of his voice FOR US. It's kinda watching him at work, making such an amazing job of crafting every detail of his voice and the unbelievably beautiful sound it; (mingled with the K.singers) made, that got me, I was in total awe at that and found it soooo moving, even remembering it gets me. It's like I just totally appreciated his talent (not that I don't always anyway), but it was kinda harnessed and performed IMHO to perfection on OMS it left me speechless, teary, BTW, seen OMS yet????? http://eguinan.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/over-my-shoulder-mika-kings-singers-live-at-union-chapel/ Ok, this time, I couldn't stop my little tear to go on... this is the most beautiful OMS I've never seen... I'm totally shattered Thank you to all of you for the vids, the pics and your moving reports... You make us feel how this evening was so special and unique...
