Droopsy Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Here are some pics nono, so this place doesn't seem so empty And a little report but the translation sucks so here is the french one: http://cotebasquepeople.blogs.sudouest.fr/archive/2010/07/14/mika.html Mika king of the arenas Mika, a true pop icon on the planet Baiona (CB celebrities photos) Mika, Prince of Pop Freddy Mercury and George Michael (of the big time) had a son, his name is Mika and he was crossing the Bayonne Arena last night! The phenomenon was so glam pop-incredible as it may seem, on the Basque Coast (Prolymp thank you!), And it is not far from 8,000 people who were still dancing on the stroke of midnight on the ultra-catchy rhythms of the divine creator what Mika, Lebanese-Americans out of nowhere in 2007 and immediately star after a stunning debut album ("Life in Cartoon Motion"). Tubes with a shovel, a gay-friendly world (more so than Freddy and George), flowers, a trip back in time, I do not know on what planet, gaiety and a healthy dose of relaxation. The "Relax", nothing to do with that of FGTH, is exquisite, like the smile and high-pitched voice of the singer atypical, sometimes when it sways in the manner of a gay dancer one of the Cave Saturday night, looks like Jim Carrey! Reviews more or less seriously took out references of all kinds, Klaus Nomi Patrick Juvet including Jean-Paul Gaultier (for sweater with horizontal stripes) or Chantal Goya (for doll costumes on stage) to classify charming fellow, but again become serious, Mika, when one hears the sound of his voice or his group puts everyone agrees. Her four-octave voice has no equal on the world stage, even if sometimes it lacks accuracy and Mika is sometimes too high in the treble, his arrangements are quite complex melodies that are simple and striking , references to the legendary group Queen's ("Lover Boy," "Big Girl") ignored. The best piece of the second album, "Rain" is a killer live 45 minutes after sympathetic. It's Lady Gaga (for the power of music) and Madonna (for the up tempo) at a time! The show finally explodes, "Relax, take it easy" is a three dimensional and pop hybrid that returns arenas. The sound, especially at the bass is full, I do not know how many thousands of watts, but is sometimes too strong, especially the drum machines are operated at full power. His drummer, clone of Herta Kitt knows how to play the bass drum even if many samples of break drum. After half past one, Mika, takes a break, then returns. And back again. The arenas are boiling hot in the final cut. Fun, sound engineer, who has maneuvered his boat, when the lights back on, balancing "No, no, no" (sorry for the title?) Camellia Jordana, Gus had a heated and had the show before the concert. And again in track and exit the arena after his delirium. From the madness last night in Baiona, a public deserves to hear artists of this caliber then. The points of the evening according to CB people : 18/20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Does this thread get the prize for QUIETEST REVIEW THREAD of the tour? Thankfully, we can see from those photos that at least it wasn't the quietest GIG of the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmalloworld Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 a very nice videos! MIKA concert arenes BAYONNE 2010 mika bayonne 2010 mika bayonne 2010 Great! Nice shot of me with Mika on the 2nd video o^_^o Well, I gonna try to do my report in english...Without a dictionnary so if there are mistakes, I already apologize:blush-anim-cl: The 13th started with a early woke up because I had around 3h30 of drinving to Bayonne! Not a lot of people on the road so it was cool but no Mika on my radio *saaaad* and it was raining! Hopefully, it was a very sunny and hot day in Bayonne. Indeed, friends from french forums was over here very early (by 8:45 am!!!). There were alone, obiously ^^! I arrived around noon and it was kinda complicated to find out where to park and where was my hotel! Lol But finally, I was able to drop (off?) my bags in my room, take a shower (it was so HOT!!! around 40°C during the afternoon *shocked*). I ate quickly because my friends texted me that people started to arrive and doing the list! I found the arena pretty easily (thanks people who told me where to go ) and I get the number 33 on the back of my hand (it was around 1:45 pm)! I was so excited because in Toulouse, I didn't get a number because I arrived in the middle of the afternoon and this time I wanted so baddly to go on stage dansing like a crazy girl But this time I bought a ticket for the standing area so even if Mrs P. wouldn't choose people to go on stage I was pretty sure to have a dream spot ! It was a very long afternoon because there was no trees so no shadow...Hopefully a very nice guy of the staff brought us cool water! We started to play some cards games and talk about nothing et everything, it was really nice! Around 4-5 pm, people started to arrive and wanted numbers but the list was stopped. Finally, John wame and Gwen and Julie talked to him and apparently we could enter first if we could do a single line. But around 6 pm, security started to moove the barriers (i'm not sure of that word) when we would enter. It was really stupid, they could do it earlier because the crowd started to stand up and Gwen tried to tell them to stay seated because they weren't open the gates for another hour but they did'nt listen so we had to stand up...It was kinda horrible because we were all very close and it was so hot.... And we couldn't do the line with people with a number on the hand...So we were affraid that we couldn't enter like it was planed... We were praying that Maria came and well, she didn't. We started to lost all ours hopes =/ ! By 7 pm, they started to open the gates and Gwen talked quickly with the staff and we were able to enter first even if some people without a number entered in the same time than us. We were front row and I was very very happy and excited! 8000 people expected for this gig! It was enormous O_O ! Maybe 20 minutes later, Mrs P. and Maria was here! They were looking for 5 BG, LG and boys! Thanks to my mates who speak for me and said "choose her, she's pretty" LOL! So I left the standing area to go backstage to dress up and rehearsal! Backstage, Mrs P. explained what we would do on stage and everything! She's so a nice woman! I didn't imagine her differently! During our little rehearsing, she was very concentrate, focus. Even if it wasn't our job to do that, she took it very seriously! Backstage I saw Cherisse, Jimmy and Imma and I said "hi" but they were eating ! Maria was also very nice and funny and I did the translator for the others because I do have a good understanding of english. The LG was the first dressed, then BG and then boys! I was so happy, i couldn't believe it was happening to me! When the BG changed, Mika entered in the room (not really a room, they put "paravents" (don't know the word in english)! I never saw him this close! He was gorgeous:wub2: ! He was with a boy (9 year old) who played bass and he gonna play with Jimmy on stage! He had the same make up than Jimmy and Mika asked his mother "to dress up but not tell him that he gonna go on stage because he is ready to cry" xDDD When I changed I feel very confortable. Nobody felt awckard or anything. Mrs P. and Maria are so nice and do all they can and give the very best of her. Then, BG, we tried the big head (i had the blue one). It was heavy and it wasn't so easy to walk with it Huhu! They gave to us a sort of black poncho to hide our costume but it didn't...We could see through the fabric but well...it was dark outside! Maria gave us our signal (we had to leave the standing area by the Kick Ass song). We had so much luck because we were able to have a good spot in the standing area (4th row and I'm tall so it was perfect *O* )! I was in a dream! We waited almost 30 min before the gig started. And when it started, it was magical! I was close to the stage and I could see everybody! I started to sing, jump, dansing I let you visualize xDDD! I can't remember the entire setlist but it started with Grace Kelly in french (the end in english) and we had Big Girl, Billy Brown, Blame It On the Girl, Stuck In the Middle, Blue Eyes, Touches You, Dr John, Rain and then Kick Ass. I was a little bit disappointed because I love this song and I wanted to hear the live but we did'nt want to be late! Sooooo ^^ Oh, before I don't remember, during BIOTG, Mika "cut" the arena in 2 part: one side, we were the bulls" and the other side was the toreadors! The bulls had to sing "blame it on the girls" the louder they can and the toreadors, it was "blame it on the boys"! It was so funny because at one moment, our side did'nt sing and Mika said "are you bulls or cows" LOOOOOL XDDDD Backstage, we took off the sort of poncho and put on the big heads, took the flowers and it was time to go on stage! Woohoooooo!!! The walking was kinda quick but it was cool ^^ After that, we didn't come back in the standing area. So we listened to the gig by the sides. It was ok and people took a lot of pictures of us I was kinda impatient to go on stage dansing because I love thad! It was so GREAT! People applaused a lot and I was crazy! Jumping, claping my hands, shaking my hips xDDD And then, for 1 sec, Mika and I dansed together! I couldn't believe it! It was so amazing! I wish we could danse longer together but well...I feel already so lucky so I wasn't disappointed at all! When we left the stage, I started to take off my big head and even if I don't have long hairs, it was kinda wet (mmmm not very glamourous) and I saw Jimmy who was imitate me (i was trying to arrange my haird) and he had a joking smile on his face lol! I said "you know, it's hot in here" and he came closer and blew some air on my face. It was funny because not a lot of people would do that Then, we had to change the fastest we can because the crew and Mika didn't have a lot of time tonight. So we gave something to sign by Mika to John and we waited to take a picture with him. John told us to form 3 groups and have a single camera for each group. We took only one picture and we had to leave the backstages. It's a shame that we couldn't spend 5 minutes to chat with Mika but I know what it is to have a ful schedule so I totally understand. Befor I leave, I wanted to say thank you to Maria and Mrs P. They did a great job and are such nice persons This night was the best night I spend during this summer (which is only work...)! I really enjoyed it and I wish I could see Mika soonest as possible! It's like a colorful oxygen buble! After the gig you have a big smile on your face XDD Well here is my report...It's shorter in english because they are some stuffs I couldn't translate loool! Hope you enjoy it ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
