Most individual fans are not dangerous, but the concept of having fans is. If he ever reads our conversations here, he'll be in serious danger of becoming a delusional megalomaniac...

 

...no, if he ever reads our conversations here, he is most likely to get paranoia :mf_rosetinted:

i can think of a lot of reasons why he might think we're dangerous. :naughty: first and foremost, because he really has to be careful what he says or tweets cause he knows that a) he couldn't write a tweet without some mfcer noticing,no matter how fast he'd delete it (i remember those drunk tweets from dubai or where that was? :teehee:) and b) we know too much about him already and put his new interviews in this context. he can't really fool us. ( tho he keeps trying :teehee:)

plus, even his friends and co-workers have to be careful what they post on the internet... i just remembered cherisse's accidentially public tweet about not being in the band anymore. :fisch: and wasn't there some studio assistant or photographer or something once who had tweeted something they shouldn't have? :teehee:

 

anyway, if that's what he means by calling us dangerous, i can live with that. :pinkbow::angel_not:

Huh? :blink:

 

 

I'm not surprised he called us, fans dangerous. As you've said, we discover everything, so he needs to be careful, but also, we always find a way to get to him. And we're everywhere. And it's not like people who know his music are everywhere, it's like the mfcers are everywhere, quite often unexpected I guess:naughty:

 

I'm not sure if I made it clear..:aah:

Wait... MFCers figured that out? How?

 

not sure, but probably with that online list of songs & their songwriters... i keep forgetting the link but it's somewhere on mfc. that's also how mika's new songtitles get figured out before he releases them.

 

Huh? :blink:

 

i don't remember what exactly it was, but there was a guy who tweeted about something that shouldn't have been public (yet), might've been a videoshoot or something like that, i don't remember... and the guy set his twitter account to private shortly after, but it was too late, was already on mfc. :naughty:

or simply things like this london photographer tweeting about mika missing a photoshoot because he didn't feel well, and all the get well soon tweets from mfcers to mika that followed this. :lmfao:

 

about fans being everywhere, i don't know... he might mean that as well, but luckily not in all countries fans stalk him to hotels, airports and trains. :wink2: tho i must say he kinda provokes it a bit if he tweets about how lovely it was that those spanish fans waited at the hotel for him, for example... :fisch:

I don't think I'm ever going to get up to speed here... not unless I go through all 3,713,869 posts... (3,713,870 now, at least). I don't even know what he tweeted in those drunk tweets... tried to find it here, but couldn't :crybaby:
