mariposa Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Hi Marion! It was lovely meeting you before the first gig! The second day we were told to come at 7 so when I arrived you guys were ready to enter the venue so I missed you. Hope to see you (and all the other lovely MFC-ers I met in Paris) very soon. The song you mentioned is Heigh Ho from Snow White but in French. Trying to organize my thoughts and start writing my report, those two days were super special:wub2: I bet it takes time to leave this little Mika cloud you've been floating on. Thank you. I really didn't recognize this song. Celebrate Stardust band intro Edit: It was also lovely to meet Mousetrap and Doremi. Nice to meet you, girls!

camille* Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'm sure I will try to keep this short and will end up writing a long report once again... Oh well nevermind... So. This gig. I arrived at 2.30pm at the venue after a morning at work and a train journey. I was a bit worried about how many people I would find in the queue already but at the same time my expectations were not too high as initially I wasn't even supposed to have my afternoon off and would have arrived in the evening. I only organised my trip a few days before. Well I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived because there was the same number of people at 2.30 than at 10.30 at the Brussels gig! I was second row with a nice view in Brussels so I knew this could only be good. Queuing wasn't too long for me then and I met again some French friends and also met Jieun, a French speaking Korean girl. When the doors opened we realised they were opening several doors instead of only one where the numbered queue would have entered. Luckily I was in front of that second door. So when we were let in I even had the choice to be front row at the sides or second row right in the middle. I chose the latter and I absolutely don't regret it. Ok my story is already way to long and I haven't talked about the gig! Just before the gig one of the roadies told Nina who was beside me that we would get a surprise start. But at the same time we could see the lyrics for Un Soleil Mal Luné on stage.. And in fact it was a different intro to the gig, more dramatic (it sounded like the Latin part in OOL) and then it started with Un Soleil Mal Luné Mika was amazing. I think he was really happy. He seemed to enjoy himself and to be very sincere when talking. Some main points : the balloons on OOL and confetti on Celebrate were great! It can seem 'dull' just hearing about it in a report but I really enjoy it at the shows. I think the crowd was great, I tried to look up at the balcony a few times and people seemed to move a lot too. We were reactive to what Mika was doing and vice versa which is just the best at a gig I think. On LYWID, Mika did the same as in Brussels when we had to imitate a girl's gesture. This time it was funnier before the song because there were some crazy funny moves and Mika was doing them on stage with such... energy shall I say We ended up doing the same move as in Brussels on the song though, and a girl went on stage again to film this Mika was in a whistling mood a lot of times, we had an epic start of SITM with this, and also on Popular. Too bad apparently a lot of people (including me) can't whistle because that was fun. As said before we sang the song from Snow White too I think because of this whistling. Before Stardust he explained that this venue was dangerous for him because he could hear what everybody in the front rows was saying. He said he wakes up at 2pm during the tour and it is a surreal life, and that he can't see the daylight. At one point he also said it will be a long time before he performs in Paris again () and that he will truly miss it. Before Karen he said he had forgotten to dedicate it to the real Karen before so he dedicated it after shortly explaining the story. After he introduced the band I don't really know what happened but he noticed Venezuelian girls in the front row and told them 'I guess you're pissed to be in the corner' so he made them come up on stage. I was still with the Korean girl so we said she's from Korea, Mika heard and helped her go on stage too Then he said he will sing a song for the first time, I was thinking about Heroes because there was a part of the set with a soldier on it, and it happened! He sang it. I started filming and I stopped right in the middle because I was enjoying too much The chorus is very intense! During EMD out of nowhere he started sitting down on the edge of the stage, and because he kind of pushed the people in front of me to get some space I literally had him singing in front of me and the Korean fan I will never forget this! It wasn't long, maybe the first verse, but so unexpected, I loved it! Otherwise the rest of the songs were just great, I loved Love Today with Max struggling to stand on the piano , Lola was fun with all the clapping and Underwater was really beautiful with the whole audience singing along and Mika looked particularly happy then After the gig we waited outside, Mika came out and it wasn't organised as I have seen in Roubaix (BTW there were more people in Roubaix than in Paris, how crazy is that) but not half as messy as it was in Brussels. He was kind of mobbed but at the same time it was not too hard to get closer to him. So I got an autograph. Maybe one day I'll manage to tell him something To finish this day on a nice note (very nice even), when I went back to my hotel I turned the radio on and heard UW for the first time! So I had been dreaming about seeing Mika in Paris since I've been a fan and now it happened and I am so not disappointed. It was better than I could have imagined. I don't even have post gig depression (yet anyway) because I'm so so happy with this gig. When I read the few reports here I can see that many people felt the same and it makes it even more special Now Mika please, announce some dates for 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
