OOOhhhhh Love this one:wub2: Who is good with removing watermarks?

[hunnyangel]

I can't remember the whole set list but I will have ago. Blue Eyes or Blame It On The Girls was up next (can't really remember TBH). During BIOTG he did the split the crowd thing I was on the losing side- I wonder to whom he was referring to when he said stop jumping you are losing:naughty:

Happy Ending was short but sweet and the crowd all copied iMMa doing the heart thing with their hands- bless:wub2: He changed the ending-instead of finishing with happy ending he went on for another line- it was like he wanted to hear the crowd singing along and didn't know when to stop.

There were no Lollipop Girls or Big Girls- so no death march ( I guess the stage was far too small) but he did shoot the band during love today which was really funny the crowd were really egging him on:roftl: He did the 1.....2......2.....3 thing and IT WENT OFF! It was really lovely to see non MFC Mika fans (or even non Mika fans) jumping away I loved it:mf_lustslow: I really didn't know what to expect- with MFC you know the crowd is gonna love it, it's a given but I can't describe how made up I was.

Mika also said how proud he was to be on before the Pet Shop Boys again- he was like a kid in a sweet shop I think.

He then sang WAG (fabulous crowd support again) and Grace Kelly- it was just brilliant -he did several Kchinga's!

They then brought the bins on for Lollipop and I did the whoo whoo thing -like I was on autopilot. I forgot for a moment I was on my own and thought I had my girls with me

Then it came to an end- He totally rocked it!

The girls I was beside asked me beforehand why I travel everywhere to see Mika and at the end I just turned around and said "That's why"

 

By this stage my feet were killing, I was tired and hungry so decided to call it a night- I wanted to stay for the Pet Shop Boys but my mind and body had had enough. It then took me 2 hours to get back to my car as the stewards gave me wrong directions and ended up walking down the A414 in the rain!

The things we do to see Mika!

I would also like to thank the wonderful Laurel for my ticket- I friccking owe you big time! Love ya:wub2:

 

i loved when he said to cherisse "oh just die already!"

i was over on the winning side right opposite team JiMMa.

gotta say, it was soooo good to see soo many non MFC/ mika fans singing along and dancing too. my friends were like 'so you bought tickets just to see him (and a few others) but why?'

 

at the begining of the day we got in through the gates at about 11/ 11.30

we went straight to the V stage to see Pixie Lott who was amazing, we then ran to see Peter Andre (the other side of the field)

we then pushed forward as everyone left to watch Example and i swear to God we were gonna die. for no apparent reason, this massive circle appeared from nowhere as these boys started running into each other. under normal circumstances it would have been fun to watch, but i was crushed soo tightly to about 10 others i could breathe!!

when they finished, we moved ever more forward as Diana Vickers set started (she was awful but to get close to see Chipmonk we had to sacrifice that 1/2 hour of our lives. as she finished, me and a friend sat outside coz it was getting waay too hot in the tent by this time and coz i was wearing wellies that were a size too small *gotta be fashionable to these festivals huh?!*

after that we walked round to see Paolo Nutini who absolutely blew the audience away! he was amazing really loved him. was a shame when he finished!

we walked back to another stage to watch who we thought was Calvin Harris, only to realise we missed a whole set before him, Jamie T. he wasn't too bad, not my cuppa but there we go.

Calvin Harris was on next and was awesome. i jumped with friends and screamed the whole 45 mins he was on, making myself rather hoarse!lol

when he finished, we pegged it back to the tent to hear the end of Goldfrapp and my friends all needed the loo, but seeing the size of the loo, i left them:blush-anim-cl: so i could get as close as i could to the stage as it was MIKA time!! as to be expected, he was absolutely fantastic, and being the 'die hard fan' (my friends kept calling me) i knew after the first note after the band walked on was so i started screaming like mad while the others stood next to me puzzled. it was the same the whole set, i knew what each song was before they even sang, and must have driven the girl in front of me crazy with the constant bad singing and screaming.

when iMMa started the little hearts through Happy Ending, 'our side' seemed to love it and all copied, completely loving every minute of it. i was dead suprised at how many knew Billy Brown. when he killed the band and then said "right that's it, see ya later!" my friends were like 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!' and at the end of Grace Kelly when the trash cans came on, me and a few others started going mad as we knew that Lollipop was going to close it all. at the end when they walked off, my friends were saying how they completely understand why i have a crazy obsession with him.

we split up and as two went to watch Prodigy, me and the others stayed to watch the Pet Shop Boys who were super. (after the little bit from MIKA saying how great it was to be on before them, i half expected to see him watching it too, but then i thought of how he and the band would have to get ready for Scotland:boxed: )

on the whole it was an absoultely fabulous day and even now i'm still hoarse, aching and have ringing in my ears!!!

Thanks for your reports, Jemma, they were super entertaining and made me

As I was reading, I was actually hearing your voice narrate the text, and I could hear you giggle at the funny bits

I'm glad that you had a good time, despite not having more "support" there.

[Christine]

She had 2 massive fans (blowy things not people)

 

Your entire report was entertaining but this just made me laugh out loud

 

He did the 1.....2......2.....3 thing and IT WENT OFF!

 

That is SO Calvin. I've never heard anyone else say that before.

 

It was really lovely to see non MFC Mika fans (or even non Mika fans) jumping away I loved it:mf_lustslow: I really didn't know what to expect- with MFC you know the crowd is gonna love it, it's a given but I can't describe how made up I was.

 

Awwwww

 

 

I always thought Jimmy was far too blonde to be called ginger but his hair looks quite red there. These are nice pics!

 

after that we walked round to see Paolo Nutini who absolutely blew the audience away! he was amazing really loved him. was a shame when he finished!

 

I love Paolo. He is so fabulous live. I considered going to V just because he was on the same day as Mika but I also worried that because they were on different stages that their sets would be on at the same time and I'd have to miss one. I'm glad you got to see both.

 

So nice that your friends loved Mika!
