X Factor 8 Italy Bootcamp 1- 2 July 2014 -- Milan Mediolanum Forum

"When will I see you again?"

 

Just a few hours after, and I miss all of you like crazy.

Twenty hours together, and now, traveling back home, alone.

"But I see you".

I see your funny faces smiling at me, I'm alone but you're here with me.

 

Ok, ok, it's time to report.

 

Our Italian community has grown up, definitely.

Maybe TV talent shows are not so bad.

 

SimonaG and I had the same idea a couple of weeks ago.

#BoumBoumBoum was not released here, but its #8 ranking on iTunes deserved a little Italian party.

 

We thought that the idea of celebrating new music after a longtime with a Mika gift had to be shared, not only with him, but above all with others MFCers.

So we gathered on FB all the Bootcamp attendees, and proposed our idea: a BBB basket, with plenty of stuff ending with "oum".

Also many of the people who couldn't be there decided to take part in the project anyway, it was great.

 

It was quite easy to fill in our basket, the lyrics being our shopping list.

 

We began with our first idea.

The first champagne toast was actually a tea break, and Simo found the perfect one."Eros. Le thé pour les amoureux".

And it was just the first line to be celebrated.

Day after day we posted the milestones of our little treasure hunt.

I arrived at Simo's home by train just in time for our next mission, the basket packing.

The result was what we expected, so proud.

We arrived at the venue, and managed to deliver the basket to the staff.

The girl was very kind, asked to us if we had a greeting card, too.

Of course we had.

And a "love love him" one :blush-anim-cl:

He loved that, how couldn't he?

He came towards us before the next stop.

He asked if we were from MFC, and thanked with a sweet smile and :thumb_yello: at us.

 

We have another mission now.

Trying to survive till our next reunion.

TV, signing session, concert, who cares (ok, ok, WE CARE :naughty:).

We rock when we are together, this is a fact.

We have the X Factor, folks.

 

Love love him, but today we love you more.

 

Myriam&Simona

All pics are blocked at the office, I have to wait till I get home in order to see them.

 

He did like the gift, he said something like:

your gift, from MFC (and he gestured a circle with his hand), I liked it.

Here it is.

We had to go a little bit Mc Gyver cause we had no string to tie it up, but it worked pretty well. I did want it hanging front row, and in italian we use to say "volere è potere". :mf_rosetinted:

:thumb_yello: Happy to hear/see that you all had such great days with each other, and MIKA! :wub2: Again, you Italiens seem to be very creative and clever - with gift and promoting MFC!! :teehee: I look forward to your reports, and of course what the XF judge said to this gift :mikadas: Btw, do I see Nina sitting behind the barriere ? :wink2:

 

Love,love

Sure! Nina is officially Italian now. She only has to work on the language a bit :mf_rosetinted: becasue Mika talks to her in Italian!!! ahahahahahah

 

:aah: She'll surely learn it very quickly - she's so often abroad...:blush-anim-cl:

Thanks for great pics - and what you, Myriam, Simona and Sylvie already told us - the "problem" is that I want more, hehe ...:teehee:

"After you do this, everything will be easier" she said in Naples.

And she was right. I'm really happy that I tried, and survived to, Naples gig. Now I know when to drink, I know what and when to eat, I know the difference between beig pushed, beeing squeezed and being close. I know how to hold on, I know how to dodge when needed (security men are pretty skilled when it comes on standing in the way), I know how to burst in the men toilette and make them give up on the loo, because OMG I'm gonna die if I don't get there right NOW.

So yeah. It was really easy to queue this time. The first day a woman, who was close to the gate, kept shouting "back off, don't push". We just were a bit squeezed, but it wasn't terrible, it was quite normal. She was a Fedez fan, I assume they live in a parallel universe were queueing is something between having a tea and taking a sunbath. People began to squeeze because some teens standed all together and approached because they were scared that someone could have sneaked in front of them, and that caused all the hysterical gathering.

The second day I decided to organize the troops so that everyone could save a little room for themself. Of course it wasn't about being bossy or about playing smartass. It wasn't about being selfless either. It was about my best interest, as those people were behind me: if they lost room, they would have stepped over me. They all seemed clever people (everyone is till the gate stays closed and many hours still have to pass before they will open), so I told them how we could have done in order to stay the more comfortable as possible. Some of them already did it (it's not like I'm the Albert Einstein of queueing) and some listened, so that we managed to sit, to chat, to go to the bar.

An hour and a half before the gate opening I decided to go to the loo, since everyone was calm and quiet. When I came back, though, they all were standing but Friend (lol) and a few girls. WTF happened??? It happened that I didn't point out that if you want to stand up and stretch your legs, you have to do it one by one. If you did it in group, hysterical gathering would happen again and all people from the back would push towards the gate. I thought I should said it, but I didn't want to be obnoxious and I hoped it was quite clear. Well, next time be obnoxious and save your room. Luckly there was still room enough for my butt, so I came back to my spot and I played dead hyppo for another while. It worked, apparently people still respect human life and no one stepped over me for real, but when I sensed that it was about time for them to open the gate, I stood up and got prepared for the madness. Human life isn't that valuable when an open gate is involved, and I was aware of that.

:thumb_yello::aah: Grazie mille - you're funny as always, and have learned a lot about queueing already!! :wink2: In fact, I'm quite clever with it, after 25 years with LOTS of pop/rock concerts - sometimes good, sometimes quite bad, but patience mostly pay off ...:teehee: Look forward to hear more! :blush-anim-cl:

 

And Nina, I'd be more than happy if MIKA spoke to me, in whatever language - even if I didn't understand a word, haha :naughty::aah:

 

Love,love

me

Well, it takes a while. He is still convinced Luke is from Belfast.

 

"Mika, Luke wanted to know why you dedicated a song to him in Belfast."

"Cause he's from Belfast."

"No, I'm from Dublin."

"Oh."

 

*Mika names every country people are from*

 

"You're from Belfast."

"No I'm from...never mind."

 

Also, he only realised I was Dutch after we were backstage in Paradiso and he actually heard me speak Dutch. Before that, everytime he was naming countries, he'd just skip me. Now he takes every opportunity to let me know that he knows I'm Dutch.:mf_rosetinted:
