If this is the right amount of people, I wonder how many of those got their Swatch watch signed And how does MIKAs arm/hand feels like - after this "signing show"!?

nenartus Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I found this one on facebook. It's an old one but my head is overloaded with Mika pictures and I'm not sure I've seen it before. It's in an album called "Famous peeps I have driven -and sometimes they got to go where they wanted to go" https://www.facebook.com/douglas.sinden.3/media_set?set=a.138164279723216.1073741831.100005889339404&type=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia Welcomes Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I`m glad Mika is back home now. I hope he`ll have some rest till Tuesday. After seeing reports from the Swatch session in Milan I have a dual feeling: i`m glad for all mfc-ers who managed to see him and haven`t been injured by crazy people and crush. But I don`t think organization was good - so many people, such mess. This is a part of Mika`s "star life", for sure, but I imagine how hard it is sometimes to remain so gentle, kind and patient. He`s a gentleman. My admiration! I wonder has he expected such fuss in Milan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people who were there came because he's a judge on a reality show. I bet 80% of them don't even know his middle name.

I see what you mean... I know not all of them are crazy screaming girls, and some of them surely will find out what an amazing person he is. But seeing all this craziness and chaos... it's good for his publicity but I feel as if they're taking Mika and making him so much more... regular. For example, that picture with all the photographers and girls with their iPhones. Mika is so special, so unique, so different from all of this... it's almost dull, compared to his amazing soul. Feels as if it's not making him any different than any other singer out there. And I know it's not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you, Karin. There are different sorts of fans, and we can't say one is better or worse, good or bad, really -- just different. A screaming teenager who discovers Mika through X Factor today will eventually get older and pass through that phase, and hopefully become a lifelong fan who appreciates him as the amazing singer and songwriter that we know him to be. I do hope the frenzy calms down, as you say, and I think it will once he moves on to France and people aren't seeing him on TV every week... at least I hope it "normalizes" a bit. The images from Milan yesterday were just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his kindness, his personality, his mind. His way of speaking the truth without hurting people. His cleverness, his ironiy and subtlety. His way of moving, his looks, his glances. And a lot more, which I can't describe by words. I never watched X factor. I just happend to run into it one day, he was speaking and he captured me. Now I'm trying to catch up with everything, most of all watching videos about him, since I'm interestedin him as a man. Just found out about the Vlog, can't you imagine how my evening is going to be? I barely sleep.... I mean to go to gigs, writing on here, meet you guys. When it comes to travel around the world ... I'd like to, but it's all about money, so I hope I could do it one day or another. I don't mean to let it go, I'm really into this, I'm making friends here on mfc and feel so happy.

What a lovely upsumming!! That's MIKA in a nutshell - for both old and new fans - it's exactly like that, once you've got to know him, you're lost!! His pretty face is just a little bonus - added to all his other good qualities ... Love,love me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said! I've been a fan of his since 2007, but I do not think of myself as better than those who found him yesterday. Still, that doesn't mean that all those who have bought his album are necessarily fans. LICM sold millions in the UK and was in the top 20 for over a year, but less people bought TBWKTM and even less, TOOL. So a lot of those people were not real fans, because they didn't remain loyal to Mika, they just went after the next big thing and ignored our wonderful man. So a fan is someone who is loyal. They don't have to be going to all the concerts, they don't have to know his middle name. They just have to stand by him as much as they can and there is no time limit to when they get to love him. In my view, all fans are equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
