dcdeb Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Not even one report or pic? Or am I just too early? Well, Mika supposedly was going on at 9:30ish... that would have been 2.5 hours ago, if I'm figuring right... so I would have hoped for something by now...

enigma Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just got back to hotel, unseen by my stalker (heaves massive sigh of relief!). It's raining but there is definitely a god, because it held off for the whole gig, and just started in the encores and it was quite refreshing! Poor crew though, a nice wet load-out for them! No long report as I'll do it when I get home along with Nimes, but it was another fabulous gig. It was packed - all seated but unreserved. I was Row G but as soon as Mika came on everyone got up and I ended up at the front. I have simply no idea how that happened!!! I can be damn fast when I want to be! Anyway, yes, long set like yesterday, Mika fell over in Dr John but don't think he hurt himself. He was in excellent mood and excellent voice again, talked loads to the crowd but of course I haven't a clue what about as my French is rubbish. It was a very low stage with no "pit" and at the end (during the second "Relax", Mika started pulling people up onstage and then it just went mad and LOADS of people got uo - including some really young kids. There was hardly any space left for Mika in front of them. Brilliant! I'm sure there will be reports and photos soon from people., but if they're staying in the main town it's quite a long trek back. I'm quite close to the castle.. So, off to bed now. I'm back in Nimes Arena tomorrow night, but sadly Mika isn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 A review: http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2010/07/22/877390-Carcassonne-Mika-la-pop-qui-cartoone.html Carcassonne. Mika, la pop qui «cartoone» Mika et ses musiciens, hier soir sur la scène du grand théâtre de la Cité, dans un décor à l'image du personnage: fleuri, coloré, onirique. Un concert comme un anniversaire Mc Do à Euro Disney, ou plus sérieusement comme un univers qui est le sien, partag Non il ne sera jamais Grace Kelly, ni Freddie Mercury, ni Luciano Pavarotti ou Kate Bush. Mais oui il est Mika, original, juvénile et enthousiaste. Sucré, pas trop salé. Pop star quoi! Le public est conquis, on s'en serait douté... Une scène flanquée de grands arbres à peluches et bardée de fleurs de tournesols. Au centre un plateau circulaire incliné, et au fond sur les côtés deux têtes de mort... Voilà le décor planté par Mika hier soir, dans un grand théâtre de la Cité complet. En redingote gris rayé sur jean blanc, chapeau noir et chaussures à paillettes, ce grand enfant déglingué dans un corps d'adulte dégingandé est arrivé seul, très simplement, pour proposer au piano une version française de Grace Kelly. Après quoi Big Girl voit se gonfler un escarpin géant et légèrement récalcitrant sur les premiers rangs, dont l'artiste se réjouira de la proximité sans trop pousser quand même: «Tu peux monter sur scène mais ça me fait peur, enfin ç a ne sera pas la première fois», précise-t-il à l'adresse du public. Mika se les trimbale, ses cicatrices d'enfant et d'adolescent trimbalé de continent en continent derrière un papa trimbaleur. Et Mika la déballe son enfance, visiblement, sur une scène et des chansons où se côtoient le refuge merveilleux de l'imaginaire, la dure réalité des relations humaines, les peines de cœur, les pulsions de mort et la guimauve, dans ce qu'elle a de sucré jusqu'à être indigeste. Cet univers acidulé soit, mais qui manque un peu de sel, notamment dans sa partie musicale à notre goût, a le mérite d'être le sien, authentique donc original. Mika a le sens du décor comme de la mélodie, il cultive celui de la mise en scène et de la comédie, ce qui donne logiquement à ses concerts des airs de comédie musicale. En témoigne sur Love Today ce défilé de jeunes filles en jupettes fluos suivant une mariée en grande tenue, qui introduisent un mannequin géant de garçonnet porté à bout de bras et déposé au centre de la scène, comme pour un enterrement. Lourd de symboles... Mika règle ses comptes, y compris avec ses musiciens qu'il abat (pour de faux, hé) l'un après l'autre avant de faire mine de s'en aller, ce qui ferait une jolie sortie s'il n'y avait les rappels. On notera dans la set list, sensiblement modifiée étant donné la particularité des lieux on suppose, un Billy Brown entre Beach Boys et Bee Gees, suivi d'un Rain très dancefloor. Et puis on se souviendra de la batteuse, de son ébouriffante coiffure afro et de son sourire fragile, autant que de son style frappe-sec et coriace, qui lui fera manquer de perdre ses baguettes sur Blame It On The Girls.
