Ils attendent Mika depuis 7 heures à la Foire de Châlons !

 

Le chanteur Mika se produit ce soir sur la scène de la Foire de Châlons.

Pour sa prestation, des fans venus de loin l’attendent déjà.

 

 

Le chanteur Mika est attendu à 20 h 30, ce soir, à la Foire de Châlons.

Pour l’occasion, bon nombre de fans sont déjà installés devant les barrières. Assis sur le sol chaud, ils sont munis de bouteilles d’eau, de casquettes et de parapluies. Certains sont même emmaillotés dans des couvertures de survie, une technique supplémentaire pour rester au frais. Mais cela n’empêche pas… Les joues rougissent autant que le soleil brûle.

« Nous sommes là depuis tôt ce matin ! On vient de Clermont-Ferrand », s’enthousiasme une jeune femme, le tee-shirt à l’effigie de son chanteur préféré.

 

Chapeaux étincelants, drapeaux colorés, grands sourires. Aucun doute, l’accueil de Mika à Châlons-en-Champagne, sera chaleureux.

 

Nombreux, les fans de Mika l’attendant toute la journée sous unechaleur de plomb. Pour patienter, touschantent en choeur ses plus grands tubes

Revivez le concert survitaminé de Mika à la Foire de Châlons

 

La musique acidulée et colorée de l’artiste libano-américano-britannique a fait chavirer les cœurs durant près de deux heures, hier soir, devant plus de 25 000 personnes.

 

Il avait prévenu d’emblée la foule massée devant lui, la soirée sera festive.

« Pas de tisane ce soir, levez vos verres de vin et de champagne ! »

 

Virevoltant d’un bout à l’autre de la scène, Mika l’énergique se trémousse, vit chacun de ses morceaux, qui s’enchaînent à un rythme effréné. De l’addictif Love Today, à l’envoûtant Relax en passant, de la pop commerciale aux ballades piano/voix, l’artiste a su régaler son public, hétéroclite.

 

D’un côté, les fans de la première heure qui ont avalé les kilomètres pour assister au dernier rendez-vous estival de leur idole, de l’autre les curieux prêts à mettre leur soirée entre les mains de l’artiste passé dans le fauteuil de coach de The Voice.

 

L’artiste a su régaler son public hétéroclite

 

La mécanique est efficace. Mika l’élégant troque en un clin d’œil son scintillant costume émeraude pour des ensembles d’un blanc immaculé puis d’un jaune canari. Mika l’excentrique arbore de grandes fleurs de tissus et enfile une tête de tigre. Mika l’attachant soigne son public en fendant la foule pour son Big girl you are beautiful, invite le jeune Gabriel à le rejoindre sur scène, puis une dizaine de conquis pour reprendre Underwater pour un moment hors du temps.

 

Ruisselant mais ne boudant pas son plaisir, l’artiste cerne la Foire rapidement.

« Ici ça ne pue pas la bière, ça sent beaucoup mieux, la viande rôtie. »

Avant de présenter la météo du concert,

« une température moyenne de 30 degrés, des bulles de canicule à certains endroits et de temps en temps des vents froids qui souvent arrivent de la zone VIP ».

La plaisanterie sera contredite durant le concert, les cottages et autres tentes se joignant à la fosse pour reprendre à l’unisson et à gorge déployée Elle me dit puis Grace Kelly, la chanson phare de l’artiste qui célèbre déjà ses quinze ans de carrière.

Relive Mika's supercharged concert at the Châlons Fair


The tangy and colorful music of the Lebanese-American-British artist captured hearts for almost two hours last night, in front of more than 25,000 people.


He had immediately warned the crowd gathered in front of him that the evening would be festive.

“No herbal tea tonight, raise your glasses of wine and champagne!”


Whirling from one end of the stage to the other, the energetic Mika moves, living each of his pieces, which follow one another at a frantic pace. From the addictive Love Today, to the captivating Relax, from commercial pop to piano/vocal ballads, the artist knew how to delight his diverse audience.


On the one hand, the early fans who have traveled the miles to attend their idol's last summer meeting, on the other the curious people ready to put their evening in the hands of the artist in the chair coach of The Voice.


The artist knew how to delight his heterogeneous audience


The mechanics are efficient. Mika the elegant swaps in the blink of an eye his sparkling emerald suit for sets of immaculate white then canary yellow. Mika the eccentric wears large fabric flowers and dons a tiger's head. The endearing Mika treats his audience by cutting through the crowd for his Big Girl You Are Beautiful, invites young Gabriel to join him on stage, then a dozen conquerors to take over Underwater for a moment out of time.


Drizzling but not shying away from his pleasure, the artist quickly surrounds the Fair.

“Here it doesn’t stink of beer, it smells much better, roasted meat."

Before presenting the weather forecast for the concert,

“an average temperature of 30 degrees, heatwave bubbles in certain places and from time to time cold winds which often arrive from the VIP zone”.

The joke will be contradicted during the concert, the cottages and other tents joining the pit to resume in unison and full-throated Elle Me Dit then Grace Kelly, the flagship song of the artist who is already celebrating his fifteen years of career .

:lmfao:

 

Can someone please tell when in the setlist he played C'est la vie? I suppose the rest of the setlist was like at the other summer shows? Looks like he also did Overrated.

Well, one word to say, I couldn't make it to Châlons yesterday finally.

 

My autism took me by surprise. I made a violent meltdown just before and understood it was over, because after a meltdown, you basically feels very, very sick and bad. I could'nt run for the first row. I could'nt even be sure I would make it all the day at the waiting without collapsing. All I could make was, rest. 

 

Talking with my family, I understood this festival was beyond my limits for different reasons. I was very frustrated and sad all the week end, but now, I feel better (especially since I saw the organisation...) because I told myself there's three other I will make, and this crisis will not stop me to go at the three next ones.

 

I lost a battle, not the war. I will fight against crisis. And see everyone in march. Will start over, everystep, with my parents. And WIN!

I read somewhere on Twitter that people actually did fall and it became very dangerous :sad:

 

That's sad, but seeing this video, it doesn't surprise me. Opening all the gates like that at the same time is super dangerous. It's also what they did at Bercy the 2 times I had standing places there. There was a normal security check at the doors, but then they gathered a big crowd inside at the entrance to the arena, held back with just a plastic band - and at some point the pressure got too big, the band ripped, and everyone started running at the same time. Also there, some fell and got hurt. :sad:

I almost didn't recognize him at first, because the green suit looks so grey with that weird filter they're using. :rolleyes: They should listen to Tiny Love again, "crazy colours in the grey"... :teehee:

The sprint to the stage was insane and frustrating considering the fact that people who came to the queue late could easily be in front of you (waiting from 11am in the heat)...Ended up in the 3rd or 4th row (thank god for that, it was a success in this madness 😅).

But other than that the show was fantastic ❤️ The audience loved the gig and were singing and dancing like crazy ❤️ And the audience response to C'est la vie was just incredible. Mika seemed to be touched 💚🌸💚 

I'm still on the road but here are some photos that I posted 😊

Jesus Christ, that's mental! Not surprised people fell, I hope no one was badly hurt. What is wrong with festival organisers that they think this is okay??

You know a herd of bulls, out of control, suddenly released into an arena? In Châlons-en-Champagne we were thus at the opening of the gates. No control, opening half an hour before, without notice and it was not clear why, but from several parts, unauthorized and the central part of the barrier, already occupied by some fans, entered shortly before, who reserved the place, to those who should have remained behind. I will not name names, because I am a lady and because we all saw who they were and I hope that it will not happen again. I think I’m lucky because I arrived in the middle second row and I saw very well, but there were people behind me, bloody, with scratches and patches everywhere. The concert was wonderful, the organization very bad.

Mika and the band were amazing as always. :cloud: There was a lot of energy on stage and in the audience and I loved the whole concert, from the beginning to the end, especially when it brought on stage all the people who had a billboard with different requests. That was so special like Mika after the gig with us! :wub2:
