sariflor Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Me too. How many photos did I take of him singing it at Le Poisson Rouge? The emotion is nearly palpable. I adore that song, and seeing it live. Oh gosh, that gig was a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y f-r-e-a-k-i-n-g incredible OMG, that IS important! Please please please persuade Mika he has to add that back to the setlist ASAP... definitely by the time he returns to the US!!! Well, I won't be seeing him in a while so you will need to get someone else to ask but I think that we did well in Oslo, after we begged him to do Touches You, and he started doing it at the following gig again. We also asked for One Foot Boy and he clearly isn't doing it though, so we only got a 50% success there , unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillibet Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks for your reports, i am furious that the MT doesn't leave him more days off, this tour is long and Mika is already so tired... poor boy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why no One Foot Boy? Because he can't do too many songs with 'Boy' in the title? Edited March 24, 2010 by violet_sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would have played Touches You anyway, he said at Dublin that the setlist would get changed around. So I think with just the one ommission of TY, didn't mean it wouldn't be back on the next night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we were told that he "lost" One Foot Boy - that he lost him in the luggage or something like that. I think he would have played Touches You anyway, he said at Dublin that the setlist would get changed around. So I think with just the one ommission of TY, didn't mean it wouldn't be back on the next night. Two omissions. He skipped it in Copenhagen, and then when he skipped it again in Oslo we told him that it's one of the live highlights and we'd love him to do it. The next night in Stockholm he did it, even though it wasn't on the setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yes, we were told that he "lost" One Foot Boy - that he lost him in the luggage or something like that. Yes, that was hilarious. He just kept making it up as he went along and he seemed even surprised himself at the stuff that was coming out of his mouth Two omissions. He skipped it in Copenhagen, and then when he skipped it again in Oslo we told him that it's one of the live highlights and we'd love him to do it. The next night in Stockholm he did it, even though it wasn't on the setlist. Not to mention that when we spoke to him about TY and how amazing it was live, he didn't sound like he was in any hurry to do it any time soon again. I couldn't believe it when he did it again the following night and it wasn't even on the setlist anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't read anything out of it either. Come on, what's so wrong about believing he might listen to feedback and react? No harm done. However if he did it again because they asked for it, I'm more than grateful. It just blew me away in Stockholm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Just trying a give a reality check! Oh, I'm all for reality checks, for sure. And in fact I wish that more people would be as well . But on this issue, reality would be that Mika actively listens to feedback, and if he agrees or thinks that it could help or better things, he goes with it. He's open to feedback from people, and even though we don't know if this was the case on this ocasion, it is certainly a possibility. I'm not saying that it IS what happened, but that there is a high chance that it was. And, as violet said, what would be wrong with that? Everyone enjoys Touches You, so it's not like we were asking him to put on a tutu and do us a coconut dance, for freaks' sake . I don't care if he sung it again because we asked or if it was a different reason, and I don't think that it's such an important factor either. Who cares. The fact is, he is doing it again, and many more people are enjoying the song, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Just trying a give a reality check! Rose, what do mean "give a reality check"? Have you spoken to Mika or someone in his camp who has assured you that under no circumstances does Mika ever take fan suggestions into account when choosing which songs to sing? Obviously I have no proof that he played Touches You in Stockholm because we'd asked for it - but I haven't seen any proof to the contrary, either. Why are you so adamantly against the idea that he may indeed consider fan suggestions when choosing songs? It's almost sounding as though you're against the very idea that he just might listen to his fans every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that, I think it's nice that he might listen to feedback and take it on board. It's just that, if everyone gets to thinking that he'll do this for every request, he'll get deluged after every show for this song and that song, if it just happens not to get sung. So, I'm just trying to make sure, everyone doesn't get over excited, just because it looks like that may have happened here. Just keeping things in perspective.

lisa_simpson Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi all, it was my first mika show yesterday and i loved every minute. And now, after i have been waiting for so long, i know, why some of you guys are traveling so much to get to as much concerts as possible. It was awsome and better than i could ever imagine. I am making some plans to see Mika again this year... uppss... sounds like i´ve been caught by some kind of virus... Anyway, I was very happy when he came out later and signed my booklet. I think he seemed a little bit shy but very very nice. And after you have told me, that he´s not been in the best mood (which i can understand), i can´t wait to see him when he´s in better shape. When he was leaving by car i had "my moment" with Mika: I was standing on the street to watch Mika driving away. His car had to pass a tight turn, where some cars where parking very close. So the car slowed down and finally stopped. Mika was sitting on the co-driver´s seat and the car stopped right beside me. So i stood right beside Mika He was looking out the window, why they had stopped and i took the chance and waved at him. And he gave me a huge smile and waved back. What a day... I´m sorry, that this isn´t really a concert report... i also want to say, that i really enjoyed meeting some of you there and thanks for the whole number system before the entrance... I attached one picture I like very much. I had to laugh when i first saw it. Bye lisa_simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to say I deluge him about songs that didn't happen to be sung? Seriously? Well, my twitter account doesn't contain pages and pages and pages of begging for a shoutout for my birthday. That much for the reality check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
