Alex_RV Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hello, hola, bonjour! Becoming a member of the MFC is the most improbable thing I’ve done in years! My love affair with Mika’s work started two months ago, when I discovered his music totally by accident. This past January, I was going through a low-motivation period at work and in life in general when one Saturday evening I turned the TV on and my brain off for an evening of junk culture: France’s The Voice. I had no idea who the judges were because France is not my native country. Moreover, I’d been avoiding pop music since I was a teenager (pop music was not good enough for my intellectual aspirations, ahahah). The flamboyant guy with the foreign accent caught my attention. I found him delightful and wanted to know more about this Mee-ka. It all started there. Now, Mika’s albums are an essential part of my collection, between Malher and Monteverdi. His music and shows are as fascinating as an opera. And, well, he’s just delightful. By the way, his music has completely changed my mood. Just relax, take easy, and dance! So, in exchange, I wanted to show my support somehow, by becoming a member of this group. I’m looking forward to seeing him live. The videos made available by his fans capture incredible moments. My favourites are: Origin of Love in Heaven, when he says “this is my statement and my thank you to the man I love”; Blame it on the weather, with Ida, in Seoul; Stardust acoustic in a synagogue in the USA; and Happy ending at Parc des Princes.

Sabine64 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Welcome to the MFC and have a lot of fun here . You should watch all the vids in the thread I give you the link in a few minutes. You know Mika did three concerts with the Synphony Orchester of Montreal and we will get a CD end of the year. Look into the threads of OSM. Here you can watch wonderful vids which we all love very much http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezza Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hello and welcome I love how Mika attracts all sorts with all tastes. Welcome to a very mixed bunch of fans. Mika's Allsorts! Ain't it the truth! I listen to classical and some opera, but most of my music tastes span from 1940s swing to contemporary, and lots of different types within that time period.

Hi Kezza, I would've killed to be in your shoes in Montreal, hihihi. I still don't know France very well and Mika's gigs seem like a good excuse to visit around: vineyards in Burgundy and the beautiful Atlantic coast near La Rochelle. It's so tempting!
