Okies! will refrain from a new thread!:) smiles! :)

 

Question of the night:

 

What part of Canada are you from and your first experience

knowing about Mika?

 

My official is seeing one of those videos (Love Today-about 2 months ago) at Silver City in Victoria

and hearing it on Satellite radio (Grace Kelly) in a Cafe called Dolce Vita about 6 months ago if that makes sense.

 

I am one of those fast and furious fans who have memorized the songs in 2 days. never happens to me ever except this time. and that is 20 years ago when I could do that. Its spooky

I've lived in BC too (and London and Johannesburg), but spent most of my life in Toronto and live here now. I listen to Capital FM in London via the internet and they first started playing Grace Kelly in November to much fanfare/hype and I loved it immediately.

 

I heard about Mika's operatic training and saw his performance on Jools Holland so I knew he could sing live and decided to see him if/when he came to Toronto. A lot of new British artists take at least 6 months to start trying to break in North America and come here to play small clubs before they get any airplay.

 

I was in a shop in February and was shocked to hear Grace Kelly on a Toronto radio station and then they announced he was playing the MOD Club in March. I ran to the nearest computer and managed to get tickets although they sold out quickly afterwards. By the time he arrived in Canada, Life in Cartoon Motion was the number 2 album in the country and $15 tickets were being scalped for $100 outside the club.

 

When Mika came out and started singing Relax, Take It Easy I watched him very closely for a few minutes to be sure he wasn't lip synching. I mean, I knew there was no reason he would, I just couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth. I've seen opera soloists perform at the Royal Albert Hall, but to hear someone sing pop music like that in a tiny Toronto club was surreal. By the time he'd finished up with a lion costume, lollipops, balloons and bubbles I was hooked.

 

Anyway to make a very long story short now I spend way too much time on MFC mooning over a 23-year-old pop star, but I love it :biggrin2:

 

We were hoping Mika would be back for a North American tour in September but he's not been feeling well. Maybe next year you can look for him to show up in Vancouver or Seattle. It will be worth the wait!

haha! That sux! :thumbdown: lol I live in London, Ontario, and my parents probably wouldn't even drive me to Toronto! I want to meet him soooo badly, and then see him live from a front row seat!! That would be the greatest! :naughty: Sorry, where do you live?

Hey, if Mika won't come to you, then you must go to him.....I flew across the country to see him....except he wasn't there.....:blink:

 

I would definately do it again though!!!! He'll never come to Saskatchewan so I figure I will just have to make lots of trips out east!!!:roftl:
