Hippieibbie Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 no seriously. i think it's a worse idea than LG/BG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Good luck everyone! This, IMO, is way better than the LG/BG routines. I hope we see some more MFCers in the Polka Dot Choir. no comparison! this is what we have aimed secretly for years...singing with him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 no seriously. i think it's a worse idea than LG/BG. Maybe you will change your mind when you see the show. I'm sure everyone had a lot of fun being an LG/BG on the last tour but as a spectator it wasn't very interesting. I've always thought Mika needs extra backing singers or a choir to fill in the choir parts that are on the record so it really adds something to the music. You wouldn't even know they were fans. In NYC and Chicago they were fantastic. Maybe it's just a matter of taste because I am only interested in the music and don't care about the silly theatrical bits but I can't believe people are not going to enjoy the choir.

And i know there are so many there would like to join mika on the stage.. but just cant sing. so i think that BG/LG was a better idea.. because almost everyone could join. you didnt need to be good to anything lol but sure.. it's nice.. for those people there can sing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i know there are so many there would like to join mika on the stage.. but just cant sing. Yes I know what you mean. Believe me I am very jealous because I can't sing and have always wanted to, regardless of Mika. Maybe when Mika does the larger arena shows he will need extra "players" and not just musicians. But these shows are small and very simple. The set is just a few pieces of cardboard with lights in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 maybe, maybe not Just thought the bg/lg was a better way to get fans on the stage with him Well the best way to get fans on stage is to just call for a stage invasion. But I'm not sure that is the motive for having a choir in the show. There are thousands of people at these shows, not just the few who end up on stage. I would much rather hear a choir than watch the march. I was at the first show where they had the BG march and I didn't even understand what was going on.

I'm suuuure the choir is good! there was just more people there would have a chance to get on the stage by doing the other. oh and did i say the age limit is silly? never heard you needed to be 21 to join anything in europe lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 in berlin mika told us that there were insurance problems with getting fans on stage... maybe he meant stage invasions, and it has to be performers so they're covered by the insurance policy? the BG and LG dancers always were told that it's at their own risk. like, if they fall off stage or anything like that. or he might have meant the minimum required age of 21. for the US it's the legal age, but i think for most of europe that's 18. i could imagine though that it's an US insurance contract and that's why they require the US legal age. btw they got the deadline wrong for munich, oct 20 is over already, i guess it should read oct 30. anyway i'll definitely try my luck and also wish good luck to everyone else who will!

Christine Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yes I think the 21 age restriction has to do with their insurance policy and it doesn't matter what the age of majority is in these countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's different in every European country, so maybe this is the reason why they have chosen the age of 21. Otherwise I don't have a clue...

As I told you on Twitter, I'm sure the age limit is a legal/liability issue. And I think they also need to limit entries somewhat -- they're going to have hundreds to sift through as it is.

No matter what Hippie says this is a better experience for the people chosen than having to stumble around blindly on stage with a huge mask on your head.
