Michelle I am as tall as you are. Funny thing when I was talking to Mika in Paris I didn't have this impression that he is so tall. And he was watching me straight in the eyes. Especially when he said: "I have never been to Cracow. I would like to go to Poland". Actually he was pronouncing Polish cites in Polish not English way Krakow, Warszawa. I had a feeling that at certain moment he became nostalgic while talking that he was singing in Warsaw when he was young. And he turned his eyes away. But what I was watching? His eyelashes of course!!!! So well visible even in the dark Well I have never seen Mika in a daylight - only in the artificial light or in the dark. So still waiting the daylight meeting ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him leaving and each time he met a fan and talked with them and looked at they were showing/giving him he bent down which was funny because there were fans everywhere in the street so I saw him going up and down like he was playing peek a boo then I realized why when I read your report...when he came close to me I was able to give him the book of my poems after so many years and he smiled and thanked me and I was so happy I burst into happy tears I was about to give it to him after Mika loves Paris concert when a silly person jumped on his back and he had to retreat to his car and leave....but even though it took many years I was so happy I could finally hand it to him in person 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not do that and miss the chance to look at his cute eyes, his adorable smile and chat for even a few minutes, or make him embarrassed by telling him how handsome he is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discovering something new every time. Oh and I’ve timed how long it took him to get on the piano. Just a bit over 2.5 minutes is he that quick in concert, too? Usually not, tho sometimes he starts the show at the piano. On 7/9/2021 at 2:35 PM, holdingyourdrink said: Geez he just watched in the camera and it made me instantly shy. How do you guys handle him looking right at you in real life!? At gigs it's cool, you just feel like melting for a moment and then he's gone again because he hardly ever stops moving on stage. At M&G's it's either just really chilled and you feel like talking with a friend, or if he decides to give you that intense look while he's standing right in front of you, you just do get all shy and start forgetting what you were about to say. And now that I think about it, I really wonder whether he does that on purpose, just to confuse people. 😅 We used to joke that he steals people's brains, because in some old interview when asked what he finds attractive he said "brains".

I think some have at gigs, especially in the early days, he had lots of teenage fans. And I think it still happens to some who are queueing for 24 hours or longer, but that's not mainly because of Mika. But I never saw or heard that it happened at a M&G. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumazzz Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Campaign US https://www.campaignlive.com/article/indeeds-pride-campaign-mika-encouraged-authenticity-work/1729263 7 minutes ago, Kumazzz said: Campaign US https://www.campaignlive.com/article/indeeds-pride-campaign-mika-encouraged-authenticity-work/1729263 How Indeed’s Pride campaign with Mika encouraged authenticity at work by Mariah Cooper Added 3 hours ago The ‘#SoundtrackOfEmpathy’ campaign raised $40,000 for Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. Bringing your authentic self to work can be more than a challenge for the LGBTQ community. But Indeed wants everyone to find the support to safely share their stories and their identities at the office. In June, the job listings site launched a campaign for Pride month called #SoundtrackOfEmpathy, featuring pop singer Mika, which encouraged people to use music to express themselves. The campaign included a Spotify playlist challenge, where people shared their own Soundtracks of Empathy, and a live streamed benefit concert, which raised $40,000 for Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. There was also an influencer roundtable featuring artists selected by Mika, who spoke about the shared language of music and how it naturally encourages empathy and sparks vulnerability. Mika was an ideal influencer for the campaign because of his own authenticity, said Jennifer Warren, VP, global brand marketing at Indeed. The singer’s hit song “Grace Kelly” has recently gone viral on TikTok with the “Grace Kelly Challenge.” “He’s been a strong advocate of inclusivity throughout his career, and his greatest songs are purely authentic to him, even if they weren't on trend,” said Warren. “It really aligns with our values and desire for a world of work, where everyone brings their whole selves. Mika talks about music being a lifeline for him growing up. We felt like we could draw correlations between how music can unite us as a global community.” The impact was effective. Mika’s YouTube concert received more than 170,000 views. Influencers created 85 pieces of content inspired by the global campaign, which received 173,000 engagements and 7 million impressions. There were 1,400 mentions of #SoundTrackOfEmpathy on social media, leading to 6.3 million impressions. For Mika, it was important that Indeed gave him the “freedom” to artistically contribute to the campaign instead of “imposing the way that they wanted it.” “[Indeed asked], ‘What would you as an artist do to provoke empathy around this subject?’, which is one very close to my heart,” Mika said. “And that was very empowering. I was able to think about it from a really artistic approach. It wasn’t just a concert. I really wanted it to be something that you wanted to watch, dive into and I could touch your heart.” When partnering with brands, Mika looks for collaborations that make him and other members of the LGBTQ community feel like “normal people” — something he struggled with early in his career. “I remember auditioning for one of the biggest labels, and the head of that label said in front of my face, ‘It's all just a little bit too gay,’” Mika recalled. “In that moment is that humiliation that you feel when you're on the top floor of some fancy building in New York City and you're trying to get a record deal. You never forget, and it’s still quite an urgent subject.” “We've become quite numb to basic endorsements,” he added “We need more of a deeper partnership in order to engage as an audience nowadays.” Indeed has delivered with its overall #EmpathyatWork program, which provides resources about underrepresented groups in the workplace for employers and job seekers. As part of the program, Indeed launched “A New Beginning” in June. The spot, starring actor River Gallo, showed the importance of using proper pronouns during job interviews.

Hero Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Wow, the term 'roadie' has evolved if it now covers Social Media marketing and comms - it used to mean the people in charge of lugging the equipment around, looking after the instruments and setting up the stage technics. I guess if you're on the road, you're a roadie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
