PinkTequila Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Can't agree more! I wanted to add some of my favs to this thread until I saw Live@Home. Now I can't name a more perfect performance. Seconded! Live@Home as a whole is pure Mika-perfection!!! To start us off: Sweet Dreams -no contest in my mind – :mf_lustslow: This performance is simply mind-blowing, wish I would have been there...

toy_girl_mika96 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 My kids were singing Satellite in the car today...we unanimously agreed that Mika's version is MUCH better than the original. Not a performance video, just a soundtrack. I've heard sattelite performed live by DMB or Dave himself, dunno I had no idea who he was, and I didn't know the lyrics I agree, Mika's version is much better.

Droopsy Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 @sylvana, the HE performance @ westerpark was my favorite as well, loved it with the balloons This is my favorite performance, Relax @JIM gig Brussels: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Sweet Dreams -no contest in my mind – How much WISH I had seen that live, he doesn't do that anymore, I mean that kind of dancing (or Sweet Dreams). And I kind of understand, people would just die in front of stage... #2: December 2009 - the Jam Sessions in Paris: Jam Sessions was fantastic, definitely one of my top 5 gigs ever He did brilliant Lady Jane there too. Another HE I love is from Dublin. My favorite Love Today is from Passionskirche. But his performance for Live@Home must be most beautiful he has ever made. I hope so much we can see another acoustic tour some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopsterjazz Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I used his version of Sweet Dreams in the craziest musical revue anyone's ever seen! (though we were supposed to use Marilyn Manson's version...) It was the audience fav. and after, someone asked me if I really had a British accent (I spoke my lines in one) I guess it was good then. But I love that performance!!! I think that's my fav. cover that he does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTequila Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I really, really like this performance with Emilie Simon - Comment te dire adieu - (The outfit Mika wears is to die for, I think...though that's rather off topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I wish Mika would sing Sweet Dreams again. He's got a good rock voice. "Sweet Dreams are made of this..." Yes they are, Mika. Yes they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilStar Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I wish Mika would sing Sweet Dreams again. He's got a good rock voice. "Sweet Dreams are made of this..." Yes they are, Mika. Yes they are. just for the voice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 just for the voice?? Oh come on, the voice alone is FIT. That reminds me, there's a live version of him singing it in Hong Kong on the Love Today single...or Big Girl...must drag the CD out again...

Droopsy Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Another favorite of mine: To me it's not just about his voice/the music etc etc, it's also about the atmosphere even more so. And this one is hard to beat, it was awesome. Probably one of my best Mika experiences : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monie Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I love the "old" Grace Kelly vids and the Sweet dreams vid . But this Toy Boy one, where he messes up adorably, is my favorite I think, probably because I was there, it's from Dusseldorf (a few weeks ago): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
