Hello ^^ Wesley.

 

I just read your lovely report.:wub2: Thank you so much!! I'm glad for you. ^^

 

This report reminds me the moment when I met Mika the first time in my life. :blush-anim-cl:

 

Bon séjour à Paris. :)

 

Sorry my poor english. ^.ㅜ

merciiiiiii!!!

(and sorry my terrible french)

=P

 

Hi Wesley! It's good to see you again, it's been a while!

yeah, long, long time... and it's great to be back like that...:swoon:

I can't quote your post Wesley but this is for you :wink2:

 

I'm so happy for you :wub2: and I loved reading your report :tears::wub2:

It soothes the sadness of having to miss the M&G for fifteen minutes because of my husband :sad:

But I could talk to Mika very briefly on the stage and he answered me

and meeting so many members of my beloved Mika family (and you :wub2: ) was a dream :biggrin2:

I'm so happy for you and all the other fans I was waiting with because so many of them met him for the very first time :woot_jump: and so many dreams came true on that night :wub2:

Thanks a lot for your sweet report :huglove: and I'm so happy we finally met :wub2:

yeah... that night was magical...

:wub2::huglove::wub2:

Wesley, i'm so happy for you. :huglove:

 

Too bad it was only The voice and not a concert... that would have been the cherry on the sundae... you would have completely lost it! :naughty:

Ok, so I am three sessions late now. And funny part is I've already written about 15.11 session 2... and accidentally erased the file. Even with all my recovery tools it was lost. So here I go again xD.

 

 

Round 4: 15.11.2014, session 2.

 

Tough (It is already quite a blur xD).

 

Anyway, back to the show. And this is now that I am supposed to say “And then the coaches re-sang the opening song. Again. And twice. Again. So they have now sung it 6 times. I can't see how they could still not have enough material to assemble one correct version of it” (I might add that I think they added some harmonics tho. But I won't bet on it as the sound is very different depending on where you sit, so I might just have heard things that hadn't reached me the other nights).

 

Obviously this session was hard for everyone, them as well as us, as it was the second one in a row and we were all already exhausted at the beginning of the first one, so imagine now. Mika was sometimes having a very hard time just to stay focus, and he was often asking contestants to repeat their names and ages. Even at a point one was just finishing saying “I write and compose” when Mika asked “and do you compose?”:unsure:

But he also had some moments of renewed energy and Zazie and him were still doing yoga and gymnastics on their seats, still making great comments and still fighting for contestants (also he decided that she was now Samantha from Bewitched because she kept moving her nose). And Jenifer was still annoying (for me, again personal opinion etc).

 

Especially for this contestant when only her and Florent had turned, and God knows why she kept “bashing” Mika to win the contestant... except he wasn't even competing as he hadn't turned! And he kept saying “I didn't even buzzed why are you so mean, stop attacking me!”. But she wouldn't, and he really didn't understand why (me neither for what matters). When they turned back he was still asking Zazie “what have I done wrong?” (nothing dear, don't you worry).

 

At a point he came back earlier from break (in fact him and Zazie almost always came back after only a few minutes when we had to wait a good time for the two others) and you could see just from his face that he was searching for a stupid thing to do. He first tried to go and have a peek behind the white curtain (do you remember this big white curtain which was masking some contestants for the audience? It's back) and was caught by the producer who forced him to go back on seat. But this malicious face was still there and he was still looking for something to do. Ended up inverting Jenifer and Florent's glasses (which wouldn't be even remotely funny if they were drinking water but they aren't. And judging by Mika's face when he drank in Jenifer's glass a couple of sessions before, he doesn't like her mixture).

 

We also learned that something has happened in backstage, and we don't know what, but from what Pagny let slip were involved a banana skin and Mika being afraid of a mouse-that-wasn't-a-mouse (do whatever you want with those infos :lol3: ).

 

I was placed in one of the most interesting rows of the studio as it is The One In Which You Can Lie Down And Have Some Sleep. Which is very welcome when you begin to hit the 10th hour of recording (still 3 to go, yeepee). So of course at a point we were all lying down having some sleep. And Mika began to make circles with his finger around those sleeping potatoes bags he has as fans, talking to Zazie ( I didn't hear but someone who did told me he was saying 'those are my fans' or something; what a great image we were giving xD) and Zazie began to wave at us shouting “good night!!!!” :aah:

 

I had quite a laugh when he began a comment with “When I do something hard I feel pain between my eyes” like it was really going to be a part of what he was about to say... except it wasn't at all and I still don't have the slightest idea of why he said that to begin his sentence but I just found it hilarious at the moment :lol3:.

 

He invented a few very lovely new french words and expressions that I don't really see how to translate like “précocieux” (french for precocious is “précoce”) or “en toute sérieusement” (“in all seriously”? This one already has become a very popular one for french fans XD). Told a contestant that his performance was lacking of sex... again with a cute but untranslatable mistake (“votre perfomance elle manquait du sexe” for those who speak french). So all in all between the two sessions this saturday was a very good day for both Cute And Funny French Mistakes and Memorable Quotes books.

 

We finally managed to see the end of auditions and had to go through the final debrief with Nikos. Let's face it, neither Nikos nor the coaches were there anymore. They couldn't talk, kept falling on words and bursted into laugh every 5 seconds (so every time they needed to redo the whole take right from the beginning). It looked like they would never be able to do it, but as we were in a very similar state we too were laughing for nothing so, whatever xD. (Also Mika was going all “I need to pee don't make me laugh!!!” which, of course, made everyone laugh even more)

They also recorded the “welcome Zazie” bit that will be in the first after-show, and right in the middle of it Mika said “I didn't even know Zazie as an artist before” and Nikos to add “no but don't say that!” “But I tell the truth!” “I don't care about the truth say something nice!” (they were laughing, not fighting, I should add that because it's not obvious from reading).

 

And then they went and we went and I don't know because obviously I stop taking notes when we are outside so now every end of night just looks like a giant playground with some rush for the toilets in the middle, sorry :aah:.

Hug Mika or read the t shirt? :aah: (I didn't and I didn't - I must confess I wasn't really looking at the t-shirt though at this time :blush-anim-cl:)

A big thank you here too :wub2:

 

 

And here we go again (don't worry, it's my last one xD)

 

It's a luck I took notes. Or all I would be able to say about the last two sessions now would look like “There were people singing and Mika was there and sometimes he was talking and sometimes he wasn't. It was nice. He rode a seat. We ate candies “ ('We ate candies' is a safe beet, you can say that about every night without taking any risk of being wrong).

But even with notes it is getting complicated. Some of the stuff I wrote don't make any sense any more to me (if anybody has the slightest idea of what my “purse stealing” note is refering to...)

Also, I didn't have that much notes about the last night because I am ashamed to confess that I fell asleep during recording (there is not that many 4hrs of sleep every night that my body can handle in a row :doh:). But now I'd say it's a luck that there wasn't much as my dog just ate them (I bet teachers never believed you when you told them that, but I can now testify that it happens for real sometimes).

 

So anyway, all that to say that I am gonna reunite both nights in there because I don't really have enough to make one report for each.

 

17 & 18/11/2014 - Recording sessions 5 & 6

 

First, guess what happened both times? They re-sang the opening song. Twice, each night. So they have recorded it 10 times in all. Understand that I am not complaining at all, having them singing is definitely the best part in any case, but... how did they manage not to get enough material for ONE good edit yet? That's a mystery. On the last time they were talking like dissipated children, I think it was hard to make them focus long enough to sing. Very useful stuff incoming: Mika sneezed at the beginning of the song (and no, I didn't note that, that's the kind of stuff my brain remember by itself, istn't it sad :doh:).

 

Also on second night when they came to sit, drama happened and Mika knocked his glass. Ended up with seat completely wet, half panicking because he couldn't find any tissue to wipe it out in the complete indifference of the whole production team who didn't care at all :aah:. Someone finally gave him some paper tissues and off he went on his hands and knees to wipe it as everybody was waiting for him to finish. There were 500 people looking at him in silence and waiting for him to finish, poor thing :aah: (yes, I like this smiley)

 

As guests we had Frero Delavega and some random winner of, I think, the first edition (yeah that's how successful they are after it ends, Kendji being the notable exception), and also Garou who was happily having fun with the coaches whilst singing (dancing with Zazie, kissing Mika's hand... (don't ask, I don't know either)). He sang Let it Snow, and then said to Mika “I know you've sung it in front of a Japanese crowd in japan and they were singing with you.” “How do you know that?!” “... because your mum told me!”.

 

And now let's go straight to the biggest piece of madness of the whole 6 sessions of recording: the seat riding. As I am typing this I have no idea how to put it in words, but truth is I am not that worried not to manage to make myself clear as I would bet a hand you'll be able to see it on television. We even almost saw it again ourselves on the big screen during debriefing at the end, as Nikos kept asking the production team to put it as it had been so hilarious, but we didn't have enough time (luckily for Mika who kept shouting 'nooo please doooon't' every time Nikos was asking for the tapes ). So, yes, how to describe it? I am pretty sure it will feel a bit lame to read, sorry :sad:. It all began with Zazie and Mika having an argument over a contestant, and Zazie, talking very calmly, began to stand up on her own seat and then went on Mika's one. Still talking like nothing was wrong with her standing up on his armrest, like it was the most casual thing in the world. While he was going all “What the f**k is she doing?”. Turns out Jenifer didn't want to be left out of it, and went on the other armrest. Both still very calm standing up at each side of him, Mika still very lost, bursting some random “what???”. So he decided to stand up too, without even knowing why, and went on Zazie's seat. And then began to climb on the back. And to sit on it, one leg on each side. And then he looked at the floor, and realized it was quite high and had a little five seconds of panic, trying to put his foot on the screen fixed at the back of the seat (and for a nightmarish second I could picture the thing being ripped off by his weight and everything breaking down and all :nervous:). You could see he was genuinely wondering how the heck he would get off that thing (in case you don't know, the seats are huge this year, far more than last year: he WAS standing quite high). It was already a complete madness on the set and it was already hilarious and then, God knows why, he began to pretend the seat was a horse he was riding. I realise how much when just reading it it must seem flat but oh gosh, how much we laughed!! :roftl: . And on top of it after they managed to put every one back on seat and to calm things down, he just exclaimed “but I really don't understand what we just did though!” :lol3:

This story came back during debriefing as I said, and even if we didn't see it on screen they still talked a bit about it, leading to some completely absurd Mika quotes like “We really have no respect for the seats in here” or “Zazie started it all! She attacked my seat!” :aah:

 

Another cute and funny moment between Zazie and Mika when they began to imitate each other, and I actually don't even remember what each said to mime the other but it wasn't that bad at all as a caricature. Those two really are a cute pairing.

 

Mika also got a free whistling lesson from Florent and Jenifer, where he learned that it was because he was using too much air that he ended up with a sort of headache after wistling (well, you have to keep them busy between 2 contestants you know :aah:).

 

A contestant sang that Haendel song Mika sang ("as a baritone") at his final exams and off he went telling us the story of the song (and the story of copyright as he was on it) and how he knew all the technicality of this song by heart, obviously. Just an anecdote, but it reminds me of how I liked that in general during all sessions, him always having some random anecdote about the song or the artist. From Maniac to Haendel to the last Disney song. A bet quite a few will be cut though :sad: .

 

On the last recording session Zazie's team was already full (so she couldn't buzz at all the whole evening, which was extremely frustrating for her) and Mika completed his own team very early that day (and I am happy to say that he finally took 2 contestants that I really liked and it was my first crushes of the whole 6 sessions so it was about time :aah:), and so quite a few time they were gutted not to be able to take a contestant, and going mad because the two others weren't turning (again there really is a proper demarcation between the two on the right and the two on the left). They were really loosing it sometimes, literally jumping on their seats shouting “PRESS IT, YOU TWO IDIOTS!” and some other more colorful lines. Jenifer on the other hand still had something like 2 or 3 spots on her team when only 6 contestants were left so at a point she sort-of buzzed for everything.

 

 

And... well that's it! (winner for the most sh*ty conclusion :blush-anim-cl: ) Rejoice, I think I'm finally freing you from my Blind Auditions' reports :whew:

 

 

(And now is the part where I become cheesy and this is very annoying for those who weren't there so I'll be quick: I had a fantastic time with a fantastic group of people. For all those of you who will read me: thank you :group_hug: ).
