I don't think the phenomena is new... I was a member of the Bon Jovi fan club in the 80:naughty: and I just read John Taylor's bio (DD bassist) and he talks throughout the books about their fans and how faithful they were (and still are). The means are just different.
Mika brought the fangurl back in me (times 1000) and since then, I have done things that I never thaught I would do and never did in the past. But there is a line I will never be able to cross, I will never have the freedom and financial means to start follow him all around the globe.
If that doesn't make me qualify as a "Mika fan" then so be it, but I will forever be anyway:blush-anim-cl:
