It sounds about right.

If he were as big as Gaga, for example, it would be something like £1,000,000

I know he is not so big as Gaga but he's still very well known.

Gaga charge £1,000,000 for a gig??:shocked:

 

even more expensive? i can only dream about that amount of money, with a 100 euro's in my savings account :aah::lmfao:

 

Yes I thought!:blink:

I don't have that amount of money too, but I know these kind of this aren't cheap.

In general, I'd say the gig was special but perhaps in a different way than people would have thought. If I had to sum it up in a few words, I'd say it was 'Mika raw and acoustic', meaning that it provided some insights into the person Mica, the popstar Mika is built from. For example, he had this idea of fans choosing songs he'd sing before he realised he forgot not only the chords but also the lyrics of some of them :doh: He did well, though, and managed to finish most of the ones he started, with some help :roftl: I guess it was a learning for him as well. I still enjoyed it a lot though, especially when he'd start a song usure about what chords to play along, but once having figured it out in the middle, he'd gain confidence in finishing it in the most beautiful way. :blush-anim-cl:

 

There were also many funny stories and some original lyrics in some of the songs ( :naughty: ) but the best part for me was the wat he was improvising and expected the band to join him in it. To me, it almost felt like some kind of insights into the way he builds up songs. It was probably most evident when he started to teach The Only Lonely One to the band who clearly had not even heard of that song, let alone know what it sounded like. :roftl: They / we did well in the end. Most of us were singing only the choruses of some songs but not the verses, luckily, as it was really an acoustic performance - Mika did not even have a microphone. So the sound recorded must be good. As for the band members, Martin played the guitar on some songs, Cherisse was clapping and drumming on the piano as 'instructed' by Mika, iMMa was singing beautifully as usual and David did particularly well - helping Mika out on the piano and also singing great backing vocals.

 

So, it was all these little things that made this special to me. Mika was out of his pop star routine - with his mind clearly somewhere else -, but you could clearly recognise the talent he has in improvising and creating songs from certain rythms and pieces of melodies he stores in his head.

 

Thanks Suzie for explaining it, I felt the same way, and that's why it was so special. I totally loved it how confused the band looked trying to follow him, and they did a good job in the end, it was fascinating to see.

 

And usually it's me who says the most random things to him, and this time he was suddenly in front of me, asking something very random about our winter and I just wanted to hug him :roftl: He is adorable :wub2:

 

Thanks so much for the videos and reports, tiibet, Nanou and Suzie. I am actually very happy that you girls were there, and very grateful that you are sharing with us (as much as you are prepared to share). I know that Nanou and Suzie were guests and not winners, but I wanted to say to you Nina that I cannot imagine a more worthy winner of this contest than you, so I was always very happy that you were amongst the winners.

My issues with the competition are about other things, as stated in the other thread, and definitely NOT about you or other people who won this fairly and 'playing nice' :huglove: Oh and the picture with Melachi is hilarious. The hair colour is so similar :lmfao:

 

Thanks Sara :huglove: Yes, we looked matching, didn't we :roftl: I think it was because of flash, we are not that matching in RL, but it was hilarious.

The main thing that struck about this gig is how powerful Mika's voice is. Most so-called popstars today would be inaudible without a microphone.

 

And what a wonderful voice it is too :fangurl:

 

I think that might be the best thing about that gig. Hear Mika singing without a microphone. I'm jealous about you! :teehee: But seriously it must be a really wonderful voice!

thank you for your videos, reports and photos, girls!

 

Really, I have no gram of envy to you! I did not look a thread of Magic Numbers for a long time. And I thought, that the private concert is unrealizable dream for everyone. But as it has appeared, it is real. I am happy for you. Thanks that you have shared the impressions with us. Mika looks superb! Bye curls and hi a man's strong neck). Though, I loved curls, but not a hairdress are Mika's essence).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it is so unpleasant to think that someone can buy Mika. It is clear a money are do not be superfluous. But... So it is humiliating to see on one stage Mika's work and a wriggling doll.

I think, Silver and other girls...:wink2: On your birthdays He would sing with greater pleasure than under the order of the rich ...

dont know if it's the right thread to post ?:teehee::teehee:

 

:tears:

I can not explain the sadness that I felt for a moment, because even for me it was weird.

Yesterday was my birthday, and I think like all fans, I would have been very happy with the smallest greeting from Mika.

Obvious it's a dream

 

And this girl was a birthday the same day and had a private gig.

How lucky is she to have that opportunity, and having people around who loves him so much to make a gift like that

 

lucky girl, I hope you enjoyed it (I know it was so)

Happy Birthday

definetely, it wouldn't be humillating at all if he sang for any of us, it'd be more like the magic numbers secret gig, with a happy, clumsy and human Mika :blush-anim-cl:

 

I'm in love with da vids of da Magic Numbers secret gig, he was so close to all of you :wub2:

Thanks, it was absolutely perfect and fun.

but I can't.... (lo siento no se como escribirlo en ingles) pero no puedo dejar de sentir cosa con respecto a eso.

It makes me feel that I am naive.

thinking about the impossibility of a greeting, and on the other hand there are people who can pay for it and more, sometimes I miss how the world really works.
