I'm truly very happy for everyone who is going! I feel excited as if I was going too! :thumb_yello:

 

I can't believe so many MFCers are going. I have no idea how these things get organised with Team Mika but I'm really impressed :original:

 

Have fun!!

Great news, congrats everyone going!! :yay:

 

I hope I can stay awake to watch it online, it's 2.30 AM here... :biggrin2:

 

online? can we?

 

Oh, we can't? I have seen links and I was hoping we can watch it online. I'm not sure anymore, waiting for the Canadian fans to make it clear :teehee:

 

YES! you can watch it live as it is happening on the internet. I checked with a few members from around the world if the link worked & it did! :yay:

 

problem is, the show starts at 19h30 Montreal time & it lasts 3 hours :naughty:

 

As Christine said, i think we will just be brought out when Mika is on stage :naughty:

 

Here is a translation (google) of what was on Mika's facebook:

 

Be among the few lucky fans who deserve a standing room near the stage and attend Mika's performance at Star Academy. You will also have the chance to watch the show in a VIP lounge with giant screens, between the performance of Mika. You will need to ensure you can get to the recording studio by your own means. The studio is located in St-Hubert, on the south shore of Montreal .......

 

Which is perfect! I didn't watch the show at all, so it's fair to say i'm only going there for Mika :naughty: But don't get me wrong, this is going to be a good show musically speaking. I would say you could compare it to maybe American Idol finale? kinda? sorta? :blush-anim-cl::naughty:

 

Get ready to be blown away by our wonderful, beautiful Quebec French accent! :yay:

Né à Beyrouth le 18 août 1983 d'une mère libanaise et d'un père américain, Michael Holbrook Penniman a un an lorsque sa famille quitte le Liban, pour Paris. Il vit dans la capitale française pendant environ 9 ans et part ensuite pour Londres.

 

Petit, Mika commence à écrire des chansons non pas en raison de grandes ambitions, mais parce que c’était un moyen facile de raconter une histoire, une blague et souvent la vérité. La vérité maintenant, c’est que Mika est bien loin de l’enfant farceur qu’il était jadis. Il représente aujourd’hui un véritable icône de la pop, transportant son public dans un monde parallèle, une fantaisie multicolore.

 

Mika essuie plusieurs refus, au début de sa carrière, les maisons de disques reconnaissent son talent, mais le trouve est trop différent. L'une de ces maisons de disque lui demande de chanter à la manière de Robbie Williams ou Craig David ; Mika refuse et en réponse à cela, il compose la chanson Grace Kelly. Il déclarera : « Vous voulez que je sois Craig David, je vais être Grace Kelly au lieu de ça, et on verra toujours si vous voulez me faire un contrat. »

 

Discographie

Les débuts professionnels de Mika dans la musique sont éclectiques. Il participe à des concerts de musique classique au Royal Opera House de Londres, écrit des musiques d'ambiance pour les vols de British Airways ou encore compose la musique d'une publicité pour des chewing-gums.

 

La sortie de album est précédée, en janvier 2007, du second single Grace Kelly, disponible uniquement en téléchargement et distribué par Universal Music. Avec presque 3 millions d’exemplaires vendus, c’est alors le deuxième single anglais à grimper en haut des palmarès uniquement grâce aux téléchargements.

 

Son premier album, Life in Cartoon Motion sort en février 2007. Cet album a pour thème principal la transition de l'adolescence à l'âge adulte et traite également de sujets difficiles, par exemple l'homosexualité et la discrimination. Si on cumule les ventes de tous les singles tirés de l’album Life In Cartoon Motion, on dépasse les 6 millions d’exemplaires. Life in Cartoon Motion est aujourd’hui certifié disque de diamant avec plus de 6 millions dans le monde.

 

En juin 2009, Mika effectue une tournée européenne, pour la promotion de son nouvel EP intitulé Songs for Sorrow, qui contient 4 chansons inédites.

 

Son second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much, paraît le 18 septembre 2009 et se vend à plus de 300 000 exemplaires en France et 1 000 000 d'exemplaires dans le monde. Cet album est certifié disque triple platine.

 

2010, Mika enregistre une chanson pour la Bande originale du film Kick-Ass.

 

Mika prévoit faire son retour avec un troisième album intitulé The Origin of Love. Le premier titre extrait de cet album, Elle me dit, est son premier single en français. Cette piste est sortie en juillet 2011 et s'est positionnée à la 6e place des classements ITunes Français.

 

Promotion

Ses albums Life In Cartoon Motion et The Boy Who Knew Too Much sont disponibles en magasin. Mika prépare un troisième disque qui sortira sous peu. Le premier extrait de cet album, Elle me dit, est déjà disponible en format numérique.

thanks for posting... it's everything we already know, Roxy can knock herself out and translate if she wants :naughty:

 

It's pretty good, except they say he composed the music for a chewing gum commercial :no: don't think that's true... he was just a kid no?

He's said that in a few interviews, it was for Orbit chewing gum, but I think he sang on it didn't he?

Yes you should be able to watch it online. If you can stay up at that ridiculous hour. :aah:

 

Rosa I think as sometimes happens in these situations the needs of the fans, (Team and) Mika, and the TV show all aligned at once. I am hearing that they (the show) will bring us out just for Mika's appearances because they want fangurls standing at the front. Then you won't have that awkward moment (as we've seen on some shows :mf_rosetinted:) where Mika is encouraging the audience and they are just sitting in their seats :blink:

 

Anyway I am thankful to Team Mika for organizing it late on a Friday night. It must be difficult trying to sort everything out at the last minute and that's how these things always go. :aah:

 

I was feeling a bit nostalgic/down this week because it's been 5 years since Mika's first appearances in Montreal/Toronto and it will be nice to see him again without having to cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans as I've had to the last couple of years. And of course it's amazing for the Montreal girls who haven't had the chance to see him at all during that time. I think it's going to be really exciting for everyone :fangurl:

 

Yeah, this must be pretty embarrassing... not for the audience, but for Mika :aah:

 

I´m really happy these thinks still happen. Where did the contest happened? Facebook? Mikasounds? MFC?

Congratulations to the winners and let me say that I am so glad so many lovely people I know will have the chance to attend the show. :wub2:

Oh he is afraid of Roxane... i had to sign papers to say that i would keep her sedated for the duration of the show... and she has to wear a straight jacket.

But it's not a huge price to pay to be in the audience to see Mika no? :mf_rosetinted::aah:
