Hi guys,  Sorry, I've been absent for a while on the forum but I haven't forget you. Phone problems, but I won't go into details. 😅 It's much easier to keep in touch when I'm at home sitting in f

I'm not even attracted men but in-person Mika may be the most beautiful human I've ever laid eyes on in my life. 

:yeah:  So true!

@Mikasister can you please add the links to the original content on Instagram? Or at least the profile name, if it's a story that will disappear after a few hours. I know it's annoying that the forum software doesn't embed the IG posts automatically, but if you download and re-upload the content here, please at least link to the original, or give credit to the author in some way. Thanks. The clip of Modern Times is Nina's, I think?

Ok, this is interesting - he can change the black suit to the design with the organs, and he does that during OOL, also pretending to stab himself:

 

 

Not sure what he wants to tell by doing this during this song in particular... it's not about a painful love, like Overrated - but maybe he refers to the time when he has written it? Or maybe he wants to say that love always is painful, even if it's a beautiful love that is like the air you breathe? Or that love leaves you feeling "open", very vulnerable, if you love you can get hurt? What do you think? Especially those who were at the gigs, did it become clearer there?

This is so spectacular, I love that suit! :wub2:  Thanks for posting!

This is my guess, and he did that stabbing gesture before during OOL, from what I remember :wink2:

What an amazing show!!!! This was my first Mika show (and my third concert since live music has come back) and wow, what an exhilarating experience. I really loved feeling the camaraderie and solidarity with the other concert-goers, how FRIENDLY everyone was, how excited we all were to be there...It was surreal to see Mika perform songs I've listened to since high school and see how phenomenal of a performer he is. His energy is incredible!!! I also loved him speaking to us between songs and his stories and quick wit. The whole experience was just amazing.

 

Another really lovely part: I went alone but made friends with the person in front of me and we spent the whole concert together. My new friend only moved to Toronto within the last year and decided to go see Mika since she loved him for years and never had the opportunity to see him in her home country. We spoke for hours in the queue and waiting for the show to start, got food together after the show, and I drove us back together because we found out we live in the same area. We've been texting throughout today and plan to hang out again soon!

 

I think I would have been much more reluctant to reach out and make that connection if not for MFC. The last few months I've spent here solidified my assumption that fans of someone as kind and welcoming as Mika would embody the same traits. Interacting with you all and reading your posts made me excited to seek out friends at the show. So even if we've never spoken directly, thank you for being here and sharing your positive energy.

 

I'm a terrible photographer but I got a nice one of him at the piano. I've attached a clip of him singing Ice Cream too. 🍦💘

And says that he's written not one album since this time last year, but TWO albums and a film soundtrack! 

I almost passed out on the spot when I heard this out of excitement!!! He certainly had a productive lockdown...much more than me :lmfao: I'm glad you chose to go and had a great time!

I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet!

 

But I'm so glad you had a positive experience -- and that your first Mika show was such a good one!

 

Because this show was amazing, for sure! I'll have more to say soon -- I'm just back from Toronto, and busy getting ready for Easter.

 

But I have a LOT to say about this new tour!
