PoodleSnow Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 I’ve loved all of his performances of his own music in The Voice, so can’t wait to see. I did some research today, but I want to keep the fun part and not to push myself to work this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreacher Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) i somehow missed this thread?! excellent thread idea @PoodleSnow! I do love a good Mika list When i get some time I'll check into the info i have on mikapedia and let you know if I find anything of interest. One thing i did spot is this EMILY - 6 August 2011 Das festival, Schaffhausen, Switzerland, is Elle Me Dit in English (lyrics here). At least i don't consider it to be Emily at all, since the lyrics are a much more literal translation than Emily and he doesn't sing the word 'emily' in it at all. He's never actually done Emily live before. Edited April 27, 2023 by kreacher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreacher Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Ok, so i took your list and alphabetized it (cuz that's how i am lol), then added in the info other people have posted in this thread. Then I went through the Mika encyclopedia, added the missing songs and the earliest live performance dates that i know of. Found a couple from TBWKTM i forgot to get exact dates for, and one that's totally wrong in the mikapedia. It's really late and i need to sleep, so i haven't looked up videos yet. *I purposely didn't add any songs from his first album since the earliest performances of those are hard to really know and would be super hard to confirm.

dcdeb Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 You did an amazing job with this @kreacher! I just wanted to add my 2cents to a few of the entries that I think need to be corrected or clarified a bit. Following along your well-organized alphabetical list: I believe the first time Mika did J'ai Pas Envie on TV was on the Penelope McQuade show in Montreal in July 2015. I remember watching it in my hotel room, couldn't believe I was actually seeing Mika on TV! (That almost never happens in the US!) It's not the whole song, but you can see about 30 seconds of Mika performing No Place in Heaven at the Montreal Jazz Festival on July 5, 2015 here: I saw One Foot Boy live on October 16, 2009 in New York -- I think he just started performing it during that 1955 Tour, so the first night of the tour, October 12, was probably the first time he ever did it live. I think it might be the same for Pick Up Off the Floor -- the earliest video I know of is this one, from October 12, 2009, in Toronto, at the start of the tour. Promiseland WAS done at Cattolica on July 25, 2015, as the Mikapedia says. I don't think it was done earlier - I remember telling Mika in early July that he should add it to the set list, we were all saying that, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't done live before then. Here's a video: Talk About You WAS done the first time at the May 3, 2015 performance at Verboten as you say. I found this video: He performed Touches You earlier than October 23, 2009. I think you just have the date wrong -- It was Toronto, but it was October 12, 2009: 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterbug Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Ah what an amazing tread! It's great to have all the dates collected in one place. Thank you for all the hard work I'm really not an internet person but my.. I'm starting to really like this forum. I can confirm that Promiseland was done for the very first time at Cattolica. I'm aslo pretty sure that he performed Staring at the sun in that gig, too (So, 5 days before the Swiss Estivale). I remember because I had a terrible experience going in (I got heatstroke from queuing in the sun and there was so much pushing and shoving at the entrance that it became a bit dangerous and I almost left), but I endured it and afterwards I was so happy and thinking that it had all been worth it and I couldn't believe I'd almost missed two new songs! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking concert performances.. then yes, the kickoff for the 1955 tour in Oct 09 at Toronto is your date. However, I saw Pick up off the floor (one of my all-time favorite songs) a bit earlier, in late September. We went to BBC building in white city for a program and he performed it there (he did just a couple of songs). The show was being recorded (not live) but there was a small audience of around two or three hundred (most of whom were Shakira fans, as she sang there, too). The program (Later With Jools Holland) aired in early October.. there must be a video of it somewhere... (¿?) Ironically, the first time I saw "one foot boy" was in LA but I didn't notice he was injured until the encore..

He performs numbers from the newly released follow-up The Boy Who Knew Too Much. Legendary 'Empress of Soul' Gladys Knight, whose career spans 50 years and has taken in stints at Motown, Buddah, an array of Grammy Awards and owning a chain of chicken and waffle restaurants, is on the show to perform a number or two from her stellar back catalogue. Wakefield's The Cribs, who, with new member Johnny Marr, have just released their brand new album Ignore The Ignorant, return to play tracks from that. Colombian-born superstar Shakira is making her debut on the show, performing tracks from her upcoming album She Wolf. Making their TV debut are hotly tipped Putney-based foursome The XX, whose self-titled debut was released to critical acclaim in August 2009. Finally, the lo-fi country-soul sound of trio The Duke and the King, three songwriting drummers from New York, who have discovered songwriting and harmony singing, and appear introducing their acclaimed debut album Nothing Gold Can Stay.

I had the Penelope McQuade show listed in the TV line, and "The first time at a concert was on June 9, 2015 in Paris, France" in the live performances line, but for some dumb reason I had listed The Voice 2016 performance in the live performances line too and that's what I copy & pasted here NPIH: he played the jazz festival on the 4th and 5th, and definitely did NPIH on the 4th. I checked the report thread and ppl confirm it in their reports. Found a video of the show: Touches You: lol typo, derp. 4 hours ago, Glitterbug said: Ah what an amazing tread!

That's because it happened during the encore i think. It was definitely during Love Today, and he tends to do that one toward the end of the show, no?

PoodleSnow Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) And about the wondering which first performance… My original idea includes everything with audience. Recordings, gigs etc. The first reflections with the audience. To those awesome people who have supported this project. Simplicity with presenting your foundings would be really helpful for me. This is my second language and I’m dyslexic. I got little confused with some timelines even its interesting background information.

PoodleSnow Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) I really got into working tonight and the list is checked up to this point. I'm specially sad that Origin of love (at Nibe Festival in Denmark on July 4th 2012) seems to be gone from the internet. I've seen a lot of broken links to it and people are saying that they had problems with the audio. Edited May 31, 2023 by PoodleSnow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
