mellody Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Venue capacity is around 2,000 Show will be more than 10 songs BTW, "une dizaine" is just an expression thanks. Mellody, a baby is worth 10 000 Mika's gig Can't quite believe that yet. But guess I'll just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 not that i'll be able to go, but just out of curiosity, how many people does this venue hold? i'd love to go, despite the cold, despite mika just doing 10 songs, despite the long flight, the language i don't understand, and everything you said above... mika in concert with a symphony orchestra would be a dream come true. but i just can't see a chance for me with a 7 month old baby, neither for taking it with me nor for leaving it here for that long. guess i'll just have to wait until mika is a huge star in the whole world and can afford to do a world tour with a symphony orchestra. or maybe there'll be at least a dvd. or some youtube recordings. i'll take anything. sigh. There are english speakers in Quebec you know... And when it comes to catering to tourists, we are quite bilingual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 There are english speakers in Quebec you know... And when it comes to catering to tourists, we are quite bilingual yeah, i didn't mean the tourist things, i expected to get along with english there. but i meant what mika says at the gig, guess he'll speak french. even if he doesn't say much, i just hate it if i can't understand him, the little jokes and bits&pieces. and i guess even learning french better wouldn't help me much there... it took me years after finishing school to know english well enough to be able to understand the everyday language, like it is really used. it's a difference if you learn something at school, or you talk to someone who speaks slowly so you can easily understand them, vs. people using the language in everyday life. or trying to understand what's being said via speakers in a concert venue. i still don't get everything, if the sound isn't good, if it's too fast or an expression i haven't heard, or a certain accent. i was going crazy with watching "catch me if you can" in english, tom hanks and leo di caprio just have a way of speaking where i miss half of what's being said. tbh i don't have the patience to learn another language that well. mika should use subtitles at his french language gigs, i'm much better at understanding french when i read it.

RayaBadran Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I was wondering that as well... And I will have to choose one of the 2 shows, I can't afford to go to both, I guess I have a month do decide which one wooo we're two in the same bucket...

Christine Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I don't know how much chitchatting Mika is going to be doing (in French or English) in between songs at a concert like this. Montréal is amazingly bilingual. Everywhere you go people say "bonjour, hello" and let you respond in your language of choice. The "OSM crowd" is going to be 90% Mika fans I am guessing.

Littlelady Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If I get a ticket( not very hopefully) I will go to both shows,I have to travel 14 hours! for that reason I would be happy to get tickets even if they are not FRONT ROW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daenerys Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 If i can afford the plane ticket, i will go. Just need to start saving money, and sell some stuff, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Kristal Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If i can afford the plane ticket, i will go. Just need to start saving money, and sell some stuff, too. yeah same here, but I dont even have a job yet and I would have to get one before the end of april, which is not very likely so me going to Montréal next year depends on something happening in a few weeks. also it would be better to know if there are gonna be any gigs or festivals this summer cause I'm sure i wouldn't be able to do both.

cat_loves_mika Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think I can actually go to this... I would prefer not to travel alone but I might just have to. Cheap yet decently nice hotels in this area Montreal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
