RayaBadran Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Is Mika learning from MFCers? Ahh, I'm so proud of him, he's a proper stalker now! Javier doesn't even mention @mikasounds in his tweet No doubt about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 When I first got to see Mika, in pics, etc, I was so glad his hair was curly. It's just so amazing to me that we have a specific brain function for recognizing faces and not just remembering in general. Like why can't you remember Mika's eyes in the same way you remember his hair? It's fascinating how we have evolved, no doubt because of our social nature where facial recognition is more important than scent for instance. A true fan would recognise Mika even if he was bald... I was in the balcony on Thursday and let me tell you that day is coming sooner than you imagine. That guy could be the hair stylist. Adam Levine is his hairstylist? btw do you know who is the director? Apparently Mika says he's directing it. Is Mika learning from MFCers? Ahh, I'm so proud of him, he's a proper stalker now! Javier doesn't even mention @mikasounds in his tweet Now? Mika has been a hardcore stalker since before MFC existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ....... I knew it!! DAMN HAT!!!! we need to start an anti-hat and pro-hair petition! ok i'd say that's a good reason to watch his gigs only from front row and not from the balcony! let's just hope he'll keep his hair for a while... i know a few guys whose hair is also a bit lighter on the top of their head, but it has been like that for 5 or 10 years without getting worse, so there's still hope.

Do you think you remember everything by these general traits and not just faces? I mean I know Mika's eyes are brown but that's not how I recognize him or even how I could tell a pic of just his eye was him. In fact there are many times when I can't remember people's eye colour at all but I would still recognize them with no problem. Jimmy's wife told us a story of how she was a bit star struck meeting Mika and thrown off when he looked deep into her eyes as he does, but she remembers his eyes as being blue. ok i'd say that's a good reason to watch his gigs only from front row and not from the balcony! let's just hope he'll keep his hair for a while... i know a few guys whose hair is also a bit lighter on the top of their head, but it has been like that for 5 or 10 years without getting worse, so there's still hope. i don't know Karin. In 2010 you had to look very closely and even then it could have been just a trick of the light or the fact that his hair was damp. But now it's obvious from 30 metres away. But as I've always said I'll still love him if he's bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I've always said I'll still love him if he's bald. I do try to notice eye colour. It can help, along with other things about them. So if, for example, I saw a person who might possibly be Mika, in a pic, or real life, and his eyes were blue, I would know it wasn't Mika, even if everything else about him checked out. It's hard to explain. It's like when an interviewer asked Mika what it's like to be gay? How could he answer that? He's never been straight so he can't compare it. That's what it's like for a person whos had Prosopagnosia all their life. We are brilliant actors, because we have to pretend we know who the person is who's talking to us. That person knows us, but we haven't a clue who it is. We are brilliant detectives, because we have to listen for clues as to where we know the person from. We recognise voices better than other people. If a well known actor is narrating a programe on TV, I usually know who it is that's talking, while Alan and Steve do not. We are very observant. We take mental notes about the whole person. Hairstyle, glasses, eye-colour, big, small, fat, thin. Height is hit-and miss, for example, If I see Mika in a crowd of people, he's like... the tallest tree in the forest, so I'd know it was him. But if Mika was alone, walking down the street, there would be no one to compare him to. Yes, he would be tall, but would he be as tall as Mika is? So we do have ways of recognising people, but its not foolproof. Someone changes their hairstyle, or buys contacts, we're lost. I've been known to go up to people in church to welcome them, thinking they're visitors, only to find out is a church member with a new hairdo, or hair colour. But now that Prosopagnosia is getting better known about, I don't try and cover it up. If I'm not sure, I say I'm face blind, I've found it is much easier and less stressful that way.

He could have a hair transplant, buy a toupee, or, I heard there's something coming out next year, that can help men to grow their hair back.

If it works I bet the inventor will be using paper money to blow his nose on, he'll be so rich, and all of MFC will be buying bottles of the stuff to give to Mika at the M&Gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokesignal Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 On facebook. Good luck to all who can sing POLKA DOT CHOIR ALERT... Are you going to a show on the European tour? Think you're a good singer? Want to sing with Mika?? We have a very special opportunity for you… As you may know, in the past we have invited certain fans up on to stage to dance with Mika as Big Girls, Lollipop Girls and in various other costumes. In fact, it has become something of a tradition to have fans take part in the show! Mika has loved meeting you all and your involvement in the concerts makes each show unique. So, we tho ught we’d try it again – but this time, singing! We tried it out in the USA this last week and we have loved every minute of it. And from the lovely emails we have received since, so have you! So we have decided to extend this across the whole European tour! That's right... We are giving Mika fans in each city on the forthcoming European tour the opportunity to perform live on stage with Mika as part of a Mika Fan choir… The competition is open to anyone, the only 2 conditions are you need to be over 21 and able to sing! If you would like the chance to be part of this very special experiment please read the below carefully- Step one: Post a video asap on Youtube of yourself singing ONE Mika song of your choice. Step two: Email the link to one of the 3 below email addresses. Guys email your link to mikachoir1@gmail.com Girls Alto (medium vocal range) send your link to mikachoir2@gmail.com Girls Soprano (High vocal range) send your link to mikachoir3@gmail.com Be sure to mark the subject "Mika Choir Amsterdam", "Mika Choir Paris" or "Mika Choir Munich" (the name of whichever city you are applying to sing in). This will guarantee your video gets looked at in time for that show. You may only apply ONCE and for ONE city only (sorry but lots of videos to see and we want to make it fair opportunity for everyone to enter). Unfortunately no questions are able to be answered from these email addresses- they are purely to hear you sing. Step three: If you have been chosen, we’ll get in touch with you shortly after the deadline with all the info you’ll need Please note YOU MUST BE OVER 21 (sorry, this is for legal reasons) ID will be required to obtain entrance to the venue on the day of the show. You will be performing alongside Mika so entrance is free- you do not need a ticket! You will be required to attend a rehearsal on the day of the show at approximately 3pm. Further details on that to follow if you are chosen, but this rehearsal is essential so please make sure you can be there if you enter *** PLEASE NOTE: applications deadlines for each city are below. Anything sent after that date is too late and will not be watched*** Amsterdam - Wed 24 Oct Copenhagen - Wed 24 Oct Lille-Robaix - Wed 24 Oct Cologne - Thurs 25 Oct Brussels - Sat 27 Oct Vienna - Mon 29 Oct Munich - Tues 20 Oct Zurich - Thurs 01 Nov Padova - Fri 02 Nov Rome - Sat 03 Nov Paris (both nights) - Mon 5 Nov Lyon - Thurs 08 Nov Luxembourg - Fri 09 Nov Marseille - Sun 11 Nov Toulouse - Mon 12 Nov Barcelona - Tues 13 Nov Lisbon - Thurs 15 Nov Madrid - Fri 16 Nov Bordeaux - Sun 18 Nov Nantes - Mon 19 Nov Good luck!
