Could be that he's testing step by step (or song by song) in multilinguage countries ? So let's see what the setlist will be in Geneva and Bruxelles He could have cut EMD or Banana, there's already a few songs with the same vibe, but 30 Secondes it is so so beautiful live! And it was the only song from the new album that it's really worth being heard by the world, since he doesn't perform Passager, neither Je Sais Que Je T'Aime, wich is a sacrilege! Now probably it's not such a big deal for someone who attends several gigs and there's a chance to hear different songs, but when you go to only one... or maybe he's focusing on people who don't follow him regularly, and only know him for Big Girl, GK, Relax, LT, Lollipop and WAG 57 minutes ago, SusanT said: Would it do any good to have signs saying, "Please sing "30 Secondes"?

I'm afraid Mika is not including any new French songs in non speaking French countries this spring. I don't know if he is going to play Sweetie Banana in Bruxelles (as many people speak French there) and just forgot about it but besides of that I have small hopes. Doesn't mean Mika is never again going to sing Sweetie Banana but for this spring I've low expectations.

And sorry for spoilers for people who don't know the setlist: Mika didn't sing "Moi, Andy et Paris" in Geneva yesterday. I've moved your discussions about the general tour setlist here, so we have them in one place. Personally I agree that it's a shame he seems to want to throw out a lot of the French songs for the international gigs. He thought with his French album he wouldn't be able to tour internationally, and then he got all those gig offers - and now he wants to skip the French songs of the current album?! And no songs of MNIMH either, so except for the few new French songs he keeps (and Yoyo) it would be almost like the 2015 setlist again - why?! He did say in interviews that he wants to have a good mix of old and new songs, and I think that with Relax, GK, Big Girl, Happy Ending, WAG, AOW... there really are a lot of the old songs in there. So far the mix was ok, but if he really adds now all the songs that we heard him rehearse at soundchecks - Popular Song, Billy Brown, Rain, Lollipop, instead of some of the new songs, I really think that's too many old songs. If at least he added Tiny Love again instead... but well. Maybe I'm just worrying too much and he'll only replace 1 or 2 of the French songs. I'm sure he'll keep the title track Apocalypse Calypso (tho imo it's not one of the greatest songs live, but without playing the title track, the title of the tour doesn't make much sense I guess) and I assume also Bougez, it's such a great show opener! . As for Sweetie Banana, I suppose he'll play it again at the postponed gig in Brest? Would be strange if he did a different setlist there than he had originally planned. Besides, I'm not too sad about him throwing out that one. Moi, Andy et Paris, I like it, but if Andy didn't like it in the first place that Mika wanted to play it live then it's a nice gesture of Mika to Andy to skip that one and I totally accept that. I hope he keeps Jane Birkin, it's addictive - and I hope he keeps 30 Secondes - he can sing the English version if he wants to have less French songs, I'd love that. Also I don't think he can skip C'est La Vie, it's kind of a key moment of the show and was his key moment of the French album. As for Elle me Dit, he rarely played it for international audiences, so he can easily replace that one with another song. I assume he'll play it in Brussels, but maybe not in the UK. I guess tonight after Amsterdam we'll know more. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 He really replaced C'est la vie with Rain. And no Vogue anymore either. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5HQIDGNZ0n/?igsh=cnQ3M3UxajU5OTc1 And an English version of Bougez... well, that gives hope that he's doing the English version of 30 Secondes too.

They are so good live though iBut he always changes the setlist according to the country so more songs in English make more sense for the rest of the tour I guess and maybe he will sing songs in English we haven't heard in a while or French songs translated in English? He has so many albums and songs to chose from now Maybe fans can ask at the gigs with written messages for songs they wish to hear (either English or French ones) and see it that works Edited March 29 by crazyaboutmika 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krysady Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 When I heard the name of the tour, I immediately thought that Last Party it's the perfect song that would fit to the Apocalypse concept... I hope he will include it on the setlist, it could create a beautiful moment with some visual effects on that big screen. 33 minutes ago, mellody said: He really replaced C'est la vie with Rain.

I'm glad he kept Bougez, even if from the short snippet I saw I'm not sure I like the English text much, but at least the song is still there, and I might like the text too when I get to hear more of it. And if he sings 30 Secondes in English (did he?!) it's only Jane Birkin that I really NEED back on the setlist. Well, I'd prefer the others too instead of all those old songs. Especially also missing C'est La Vie. I mean, come on, I learned the lyrics of CLV and JB and know them much better than those of EMD! I'll forget them again til my next French gig, if I don't get to practise! 😅 1 minute ago, crazyaboutmika said: If it has to be about food and in English bring back Ice Cream 🍦 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I think he just wants to get us all to travel to more of his French gigs. I would, if it wasn't for all the talking in French that I find hard to understand... well, at least that is a thing I'm definitely looking forward to, to hear him tell all his sweet little stories in English and finally be able to catch the details. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vero Bott Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Honestly, I'm sad about it and I don't quite get it - people knew that the new album is in French and they were still selling out the tour dates so why is Mika scared to sing the new French songs outside France (if all of them are really out)? 😔 Are we gonna get a festival setlist with Apocalypso stage props? Mika, mais pourquoi? 😭 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusanT Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 As for Italy in July . . . The Lucca Summer Festival website says this: "General sale lunedi’ 4 dicembre ore 10:00 L’ARTISTA LIBANESE PRESENTERA’ LE SUE HITS E I BRANI DEL NUOVO ATTESISSIMO ALBUM USCITO OGGI" (The Lebanese artist will present his hits and songs from his new long-awaited album released today) I hope Mika sticks to his original plan. If I'm not mistaken, he sang "Elle me dit" in Matera. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perdchen Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I wonder why Mika skipped Talk about you in Amsterdam. I mean, it's not even in French and I was so happy to see it on the setlist. I don't love QTTFT as much as most old albums but i would still have hoped for the new classics C'est la vie and Jane Birkin as they are also wonderful singalong songs for non French speaking audiences. However I'm very happy that Good Guys and Billy Brown are back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
