eloise.shaw Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Just got home and will do brief report on my phone... Wow. Bliss. Just wow. The stage was tiny, and Mika had a stool/chair ready for him but he just stood on it most of the time and scared the crap outta Curtis... The setlist was nicely balanced! Blue eyes, Lola, celebrate, and then yes! Alex came on and played the piano for love you when I'm drunk! It was a lovely moment, and I have it all on film Mika seemed very tired but he seemed pretty happy and on the last song he was coughing alot and I was like noooooooo Mika don't die! Afterwards we rushed round the back to the hotel behind the indoors gardens and waited for a bit. I screamed, 'MIKA!' at one point to try and get him out of the hotel, and gave Rose a heart attack then he came out and there was just alot of caffufle on the stairs but I FINALLY GOT A PICTURE WITH MIKA. FUUUUUCK YES. Thanks to Rose by the way who kindly took the picture because my mother couldn't work the camera... But sayinf that, rose had trouble too and whilst me and meeks were waiting for the flash Mika said, ' COME ON ROSE! PUSH HARDER!' to which she reploed I'M TRYING I'M TRYING. This made me laugh rather a lot with my dirty mind, hence the horse face in my photo when I look like i just spat. Probably because I did Overall, it was just like a dream. Pinch me someone please.

That calls for a "that's what she said". No wonder you cracked up What a great day for you! You wake up not even knowing if you're going to a gig and end up with a pic of yourself and Mika. Can't wait to see the vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaisam Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm happy for everyone who had the chance to see Mika . I tried to get in without the ticket but the people were very strict so it didn't work out. At least I tried so I don't have any regrets and am not thinking what if I had done something differently. I was too lazy to wait for him outside so I just went back home . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why all these last minute surprises are so amazing. You just never know what's going to happen. You just have to be up for it because Mika always is. This cracked me up. Alex, full of confidence, who replaced the band’s keboard player for the one song, replied: “I sing as well.” And at that, showman Mika*had the audience laughing out loud as he unplugged the teenager’s microphone.

Oh dear, that just sounds so wrong when I see it written down! Sorry I'm late, Homeland was on and I missed it on Sunday. Thank god for no shows on the night. Sharon and I had to wait a while til they were shutting the doors, but they let us in, we got a drink and walked around to the stage. It was very small and quite intimate. Eloise and her mum got us in with them in front of the stage, and it was just amazing. My first time at something this intimate and I was blown away! Mika didn't have a lot of space to move, and said they had given him a chair to stop him from dancing around too much in the space there. He then recounted the story of last Thursday when he split his lip on the microphone. So when later he stood on the chair, which was quite tall, he was getting VERY nervous looks from Curtis who was at the side of him. Sharon and myself looked at each other quite concerned he'd fall off. But remarkably he didn't! Alex's inpromptu jam with him was the highlight of the evening, I think Curtis should be worried He was making a fair bit of eye contact with the audience, which was nice to see again. It was awkward when he asked how many people had bought the album today and only 5 people put their hands up. He squirmed a little at that. I felt a little sad for him. But on the whole an excellent set, and afterwards, we recruited 2 new members gor here. A lovely lady and her hubby, who asked how to join when I chatted to them about the 5th birthday party in January. It was their first time seeing him, and they had a great time. I took the picture for Eloise, and as you saw got verbal abuse from Mika:naughty: Definitely worth the long journey.

I am SO delighted for Alex. What a fantastic experience for him - and so well deserved. I so hope that it leads on to other things for him. Yes, it cracked me up too that Mika unplugged Alex's microphone! I can just imagine that! Did anyone video this? I'm happy for everyone who had the chance to see Mika .
