Mika lo da todo en Sala La Riviera, un concierto enérgico y emocional en partes iguales

 

Alegría por tener la oportunidad de verle en directo después de llevar años sin pisar un escenario. No era ningún holograma, Mika se encontraba en carne y hueso en Sala La Riviera ante cientos de personas con un rango de edad muy variado que estaban listos para disfrutar de un concierto que se perfilaba de especial y de reencuentro con el artista británico.

 

El espectáculo, que comenzó pasadas las 21:00, se abrió con Ice Cream, una canción muy enérgica que enganchó a todo el público y que hizo que sus ánimos se elevaran aún más. Entre las canciones de My Name is Michael Holbrook interpretó Dear Jealousy, Tiny Love, Blue y Tomorrow, temas en lo que el artista pasó de un ritmo vertiginoso a ritmos más pausados.

 

Mika sabía que, además de presentar su nuevo disco, su público tenía ganas de escuchar sus temas clásicos. Por ello, interpretó en su concierto canciones como Lollipop, Love Today o Relax, Take It Easy, entre otras. Sin duda, estos fueron los singles que más hicieron bailar al público y que nos trajo al Mika que nos enamoró en sus inicios.

 

El cantante británico demostró, tras más de dos horas de un enérgico y emocional concierto, que es un artista hecho para los directos, con un sinfín de cambios de vestuarios que hacían la puesta en escena aún más espectacular. Lo dio todo, lo que hizo el público se quedara con ganas de más y de volver a acudir la próxima vez que haga un concierto en nuestro país. Quizá Mika ya no sea lo que era hace diez años, pero aún tiene la fuerza suficiente como para seguir cautivando.

Although people responded very well to this show it was not as good as the one in Barcelona. There were some problems with the sound, especially the keyboard,  at times it was too challenging. Mika forgot the lyrics of at least 3 songs and I don't think he was too happy, however as always, he gave it all on stage.HE a cappella was not as beautiful as in Barcelona because some people shouted and there was no silence that was needed.
Even so,  the crowd was on fire and I think that Mika did like it. He promised to come back before 4 years. He was very grateful to the samples of affection we showed him with our hearts and posters and in the end we kept sweet and good  memories of this concert.

At the end of the concert many people waited for him but Mika went through the back door quickly.. I was amused by some children of 4-5 years old who were waiting for him, poor  kids.  They told me that theis like Mika very much and one of the little girls told me that her favorite song was Ice cream.

So, I know it was a month ago, but since I only introduced myself here a few days ago, I'm going to post my report of the concert today... I hope nobody gets annoyed that it's so late... 😊

 

It was my first Mika concert (and my first concert ever, actually 😆) and I was really excited about it 😊

My parents and I had decided to eat before the concert, but while we were walking to the restaurant, we passed in front of the Sala La Riviera and saw all the people already queuing up, so we changed our minds and decided that we would eat later, so we went to queue up as well to be able to get a good place 😂

It was definitely worth it, I think we were in the first 100 people to enter and we were relatively close to the stage, I was really happy about our place! 😊

 

The show was amazing!! We've had such a great time!!

 

When Mika appeared on stage, I was so happy to see him in real life that I started crying 😭😂 I was crying for half of Ice Cream (the first song he sang) 😂

I loved hearing Tiny Love live, it was so beautiful! I had a lot of fun hearing Tomorrow translated to spanish by a fan 😆 I also loved Origin of Love so much 💕 I actually loved all the songs haha 😊💕

I was really very happily surprised during Big Girl; I knew that Mika would go down in the audience because I had seen some instagram stories, but I thought that he would stay in the middle of the room, and quite close to the stage... and since my parents and I were a bit on the side and not in the very, very close front rows, I thought he would not come near us... But he did!! Omg I was in shock when I saw him walking straight toward me 😂 he passed right in front of me and stopped a bit further to sing the chorus of the song 😃

Happy Ending a capella was very beautiful, even if there were a few annoying people who kept on screaming while they should have kept quiet 😑 some people (including me 😆) went "ssh!" for them to stop making noise 😐

 

When Mika walked off the stage at the end of the concert, I couldn't believe it was finished already 😢 but I'd had a wonderful time! 😃

I hurried outside to be able to meet him. I had brought a drawing I would have liked him to sign and one I that wanted to give to him...

I was happy because I was one of the first people to arrive at the door...... but sadly, I was waiting in front of the wrong door!! 😭😭😭

After a while, the security guard said that Mika had left. But he was saying it very low and with a little smile, as if it was a joke. So I didn't believe it. People started going away, but very slowly, I think that no one wanted to believe that Mika was really gone. Some people asked the security guard if he was REALLY gone. The guard answered "yes", but still with that unconvincing smile... So a lot of people still stayed, and me too, because the people in the crowd who said he was gone could only say that they had seen someone who had seen someone else who had seen Mika leave... I thought they just wanted the most people to leave as possible (especially because after saying that, they still stayed 🤷‍♀️)

 

We were freezing, it was so cold!

 

The crowd diminished slowly... by the end, we were only a little group of 20 people (if one of you reads this, please tell me haha 😊)... we waited next to that door until 1:00 AM... we were like "if we waited until now, we'll wait until that door is closed". So we waited until the security guard closed the door and the big tour bus went away, at 1 o'clock in the morning... And we didn't see Mika 😭😭😭

 

I was really sad, but still, I was very happy to have seen him on stage and these two hours and a half I spent outside waiting didn't change anything to the fact that I've had a great time and that the concert was so amazing! 😊😊

I just hope I'll be luckier next time, on the 10th of February in Utrecht... 😊 I'll bring my drawings again haha 😆😊
