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!

 

 

I'm sure we'll meet each other some day, Deb! We go where Mika does, right?  I was wearing the buttons I won from the MFC giveaway so it's like I was carrying a little part of y'all with me. I'm glad you returned safely and hope to hear your thoughts about the show/tour soon!

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 front of my laptop...

 

But as early Easter present, I've almost the whole concert to download (the end of "We are golden" is missing because I didn't have any saving space on the phone anymore😅, but I know others recorded it). Feel free to post the videos here, I can't do it with my phone. Here the links:

I had the absolute best time in Toronto! From waiting in the line all day, to the concert and of course chatting with Mika after the show! I've uploaded 3 videos I took on YouTube.

REVIEW

L' EXPRESS

Mika a fait danser la foule au History (https_l-express.ca)

Mika a fait danser la foule au History

Un premier concert à Toronto depuis 2013 qui comble les spectateurs présents

 

 

Le chanteur Mika était de passage à la salle History mercredi. Il s’agissait d’une première visite dans la ville reine depuis 2013 pour l’artiste libanais de renommée internationale.

L’engouement était palpable aux alentours de la nouvelle salle de spectacle de l’Est de Toronto peu avant le concert. Il s’agissait de visite rare, et les fans de Mika s’étaient donné rendez-vous tôt pour profiter pleinement de cet événement.

 

Une entrée en scène sobre

 

En raison d’un conflit d’horaire, la chanteuse québécoise Klô Pelgag, qui assure la première partie des spectacles de Mika au Québec, n’avait pu se libérer pour faire les autres dates de la tournée sur la côte Est.

 

C’est donc à un DJ que revenait la tâche de réchauffer la foule. Une belle ambiance régnait dans la salle avant l’entrée en scène de la vedette de la soirée.

Il y a quelques semaines, Mika avait dit à l-express.ca qu’il ferait quelque réinvention de pièces connues dans son spectacle. C’est perché sur un piano qu’il a entamé le concert avec la pièce Lollipop de façon très épurée, ce qui a ravi les spectateurs.

Après avoir dit qu’il était content d’être de retour à Toronto, il a enchaîné avec la pièce Origine of Love en disant qu’il ne pensait pas avoir déjà interprété cette chanson ici.

 

Costumes

 

C’est vêtu d’un costume noir avec un effet de corps humain que Mika a entamé le spectacle. Il a fait trois changements de costumes dans la soirée, alors que ses musiciens portaient tous des vêtements blancs.

« On a des tailleurs qui viennent de Paris, Londres, Dubai, l’Inde, et ils vont travailler dans l’atelier pour les vêtements et accessoires qu’on est en train de faire. Ce ne sont pas des grandes marques, mais ça doit exprimer quelque chose », avait-il dit alors qu’il était encore en préparation de tournée.

 

Tous les succès

 

Le public était conquis d’avance, et Mika a complètement livré la marchandise. Tous les succès y sont passés. Relax, Take It Easy, Big Girls (You Are Beautiful), Ice Cream, Popular. Il n’a rien laissé de côté.

Nous avons eu droit à une belle participation vocale de la foule pour la pièce Happy Ending.

 

Une immense soirée dansante

 

Le niveau d’énergie était à son comble, autant sur la scène que dans la salle.

Mika a passé la soirée à courir sur scène, sauter et danser. Il était visiblement très heureux d’être à nouveau en tournée.

Il avait dû repousser plusieurs concerts dès son arrivée en Amérique du Nord pour des raisons de santé. Le spectacle de Toronto devenait donc le deuxième de sa tournée plutôt qu’un des derniers.

Les spectateurs au balcon s’en donnaient également à cœur joie, ce qui a attiré l’attention du chanteur. Entre deux morceaux, Mika a demandé à la foule de regarder au balcon où il a pointé un danseur qui avait capté son attention, en lui disant que c’était génial et de ne pas arrêter de danser. 

 

En français s’il vous plaît

 

Il avait dit qu’il ferait du matériel francophone à Toronto et il a tenu parole. Dès les premières notes de Elle me dit, la foule s’est enflammée. Assurément une des chansons les plus populaires du concert et un des moments forts de la soirée.

 

@mikasounds m’avait dit quand je l’ai interviewé il y a 2 semaines qu’il ferait du matériel franco à Toronto…il a tenu parole! Trop l’fun comme soirée! 💃 pic.twitter.com/TuydKFE5SX

Foule éclectique et multiculturelle

 

Toronto est une ville très multiculturelle et on pouvait en dire autant de la foule présente. À plusieurs reprises, Mika s’est adressé à la foule en français, Italien et espagnol.

« Ce qui est particulier avec le concert à Toronto, c’est qu’on voit le mélange. Moi j’ai un public canadien anglo-saxon, aussi des francophones… Mais aussi beaucoup de gens qui viennent du monde arabe, des immigrés, des Italiens qui viennent de partout. Cette diversité donne un public qui est très à part, qui a une très belle énergie. »

 

Il reviendra

 

Il a terminé le concert avec son méga succès Grace Kelly, suivi de Love Today et Tiny Love (Reprise), avant de monter encore une fois sur le piano avec une cape blanche et une couronne pour terminer la soirée en beauté avec We are Golden.

Avant de quitter la scène, il s’est excusé de ne pas être venu à Toronto depuis longtemps. Il a promis de revenir le plus vite possible.

Mika made the crowd dance at History

A first concert in Toronto since 2013 which fills the spectators present

 

Singer Mika was at the History room on Wednesday. It was the first visit to the queen city since 2013 for the internationally renowned Lebanese artist.

The excitement was palpable around the new East Toronto venue shortly before the concert. It was a rare visit, and Mika fans had made an appointment early to take full advantage of this event.

 

A sober entrance

 

Due to a scheduling conflict, Quebec singer Klô Pelgag, who opens for Mika's shows in Quebec, was unable to free herself to do the other dates of the tour on the East Coast.

It was therefore up to a DJ to warm up the crowd. A beautiful atmosphere reigned in the room before the appearance of the star of the evening.

A few weeks ago, Mika told l-express.ca that he would do some reimagining of well-known pieces in his show. It was perched on a piano that he started the concert with the piece Lollipop in a very refined way, which delighted the spectators.

After saying he was happy to be back in Toronto, he followed up with Origin of Love saying he didn't think he'd ever performed that song here.

 

Costumes

 

It was wearing a black suit with a human body effect that Mika started the show. He made three costume changes in the evening, while his musicians all wore white clothes.

“We have tailors who come from Paris, London, Dubai, India, and they go to work in the workshop for the clothes and accessories that we are making. They're not big brands, but it has to say something," he said while still preparing for a tour.

 

All Achievements

 

The public was conquered in advance, and Mika completely delivered the goods. All successes have passed there. Relax, Take It Easy, Big Girls (You Are Beautiful), Ice Cream, Popular. He left nothing out.

We had a great vocal turnout from the crowd for Happy Ending.

 

A huge dance party

 

The energy level was at its peak, both on stage and in the room.

Mika spent the evening running on stage, jumping and dancing. He was obviously very happy to be on tour again.

He had to postpone several concerts upon his arrival in North America for health reasons. The Toronto show therefore became the second of his tour rather than one of the last.

The spectators on the balcony were also having a great time, which caught the attention of the singer. In between tracks, Mika asked the crowd to look up to the balcony where he pointed to a dancer who had caught his attention, telling him that was awesome and not to stop dancing.

 

In French please

 

He said he would make French-language material in Toronto and he kept his word. From the first notes of Elle me dit, the crowd was on fire. Certainly one of the most popular songs of the concert and one of the highlights of the evening.

 

 

@mikasounds told me when I interviewed him 2 weeks ago that he would be making French material in Toronto…he kept his word! Too much fun as an evening! 💃

Eclectic and multicultural crowd

 

Toronto is a very multicultural city and the same could be said for the crowd there. On several occasions, Mika spoke to the crowd in French, Italian and Spanish.

"What's special about the concert in Toronto is that you see the mix. I have an Anglo-Saxon Canadian audience, also French-speaking people… But also a lot of people who come from the Arab world, immigrants, Italians who come from everywhere. This diversity gives an audience which is very different, which has a very beautiful energy. »

 

He will come back

 

He ended the concert with his smash hit Grace Kelly, followed by Love Today and Tiny Love (Reprise), before stepping onto the piano again wearing a white cape and crown to end the evening in style with We are Golden.

Before leaving the stage, he apologized for not having been to Toronto for a long time. He promised to come back as soon as possible.

SOUND CHECK

MIKA's The Right of Spring Tour hits Toronto - Sound Check Entertainment

 

MIKA’s The Right of Spring Tour hits Toronto

 

Mika brought his The Right to Spring tour to a sold out History night club in Toronto on Wednesday evening, the first of 4 Canadian stops.

 

The show started 15 minutes late and the crowd was getting more and more anxious as the minutes ticked by. Finally when Mika and the band came out there was a wave of excitement and a roar from the crowd that made very clear this was going to be an amazing night.

 

Within seconds of the show starting I was blown away by his voice and stage presence. I pity that poor piano. Mika’s music is magical and brings people together. The crowd was very mixed. From teenage girls to gown men to a pair of Italian girls from Florence that just flew to Canada just to see his show.

 

As the night was coming to an end, he sang classics such as “Grace Kelly”, “Love Today” and “Tiny Love” and “Stay Hi.” ending the show with “We Are Golden”. After listening to his music for a while now I have to admit I was pretty elated to finally be able to see him live. I can’t wait until the next time.

 

The Canadian leg resumes on April 25 when Mika visits the Bell Centre in Montreal before moving on to stops at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City and the Théâtre du Palais Municipal in Saguenay.
