Maria Patricia Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 (edited) @Mikasister and @Alvaro Lopez Don't be so hard on him. I know it was my first live concert. They have done very well. He has had the audience engaged from the first second. It's been many years since he came to Barcelona and maybe he wanted people who have known him recently to also know his most emblematic songs (he hasn't sung "Rain" or "Blame it on the girls"). And yes, it's a shame that he hasn't sung any songs from his new French album Edited July 18 by Maria Patricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumazzz Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 En Platea 19.07.2024 Música Les Nits de Barcelona: Mika – Crónica 2024 Este miércoles, Mika actuó en el festival Les Nits de Barcelona donde casi colgó el cartel de sold out. Esa noche, en los Jardines del Palau de Pedralbes de Barcelona tuvo anclaje una fecha más del Club Apocalypso Summer Nights, título que da nombre al tour de verano del cantante afincado en Londres, quien no actuaba en la ciudad condal desde el pasado 2019. El polifacético y poliglota artista de origen libanés llegó a Barcelona para arrasar, y así lo hizo. Con su último disco íntegramente en francés Que Ta Tête Fleurisse Toujours (2023) bajo la manga, este artista al que hemos podido disfrutar últimamente como juez de diversos programas de talentos en Francia y Italia y, el cual, ha gozado de un dulce renacer tras presentar el Festival de Eurovisión 2022, llegó a la ciudad condal para hacernos vibrar. Con una puntalidad casi británica y un «Bona Nit Barcelona!», un enérgico Mika saltó al escenario vestido de blanco y con adornos de reminiscencia nudie. Lo acompañaban cuatro músicos vestidos de un blanco impoluto y que se mantuvieron todo el concierto en la retaguardia sin quitar un ápice de protagonismo al maestro de ceremonias. Detrás de ellos, luces de neón y una gran pantalla que durante todo el concierto estuvo emitiendo imágenes de apoyo a los quince temas que fueron sonando uno tras otro. Y a partir de aquí, y durante las dos horas siguientes, una tremenda fiesta de colores pop invadió las gradas del Palau de Pedralbes. Y no es fácil hacer lo que hizo Mika. Apoyado de un gran nivel vocal y un derroche físico que no decayó durante toda la noche, el artista supo utilizar un sinfín de trucos escénicos que mantuvieron la tensión del público en todo momento. Cabe destacar que la complicidad que Mika tiene con su legión de enfervorizados fans hace parecer que los mismos formen parte del propio espectáculo, dotándole de mayor grandeza si cabe. El icono pop arrancó el concierto con Ice Cream y Origin Of Love; quizás la únicas canciones en las que recuerdo haber visto la festiva platea sentada. En el primer acto de complicidad de la noche, Mika hizo subir al escenario a Ada, una fan de la primera fila para que le ayudará a traducir al catalán un discurso en el que el artista bromeó acerca del real sitio donde estaba teniendo lugar el concierto. Ante un público ya rendido a sus pies, Mika afirmó que independientemente del origen de cada uno, el nexo común de todos los asistentes no debía ser otro que el amor. Seguidamente, con el clásico Lollipop, se dio pistoletazo de salida a lo que, a partir de ese momento y durante el resto de la noche, ya no seria otra cosa que una gran pista de baile. Desde la primera a la última alma del recinto se puso en pie para no volverse a sentar. Y si alguien lo intentó, Mika no se lo permitió de ninguna de las maneras. Tras ese inicio fulgurante del espectáculo, Mika puso el freno interpretando al piano la bella Stuck In The Middle With You; canción que dedicó a su abuela. Y, de nuevo, la fiesta volvió con Big Girl (You are Beatiful); canción que incluyó el primer cambio de vestuario de la noche (llegué a contar hasta siete). En este temazo la fusión del artista con el público ya fue total. Un Mika engalanado en un brillante traje multicolor recorrió toda la platea fundiéndose con un público eufórico que coreó el estribillo hasta la extenuación. «Nadie debe ser juzgado por su físico» espetó el artista, para acto seguido dedicar la canción a la propietaria del mítico local californiano Butterfly Lounge. Con Underwater, Mika mostró su gratitud a una dedicada fan que había tenido el detalle de confeccionar y repartir setecientos peces de papel entre el público para que ondearan mientras el artista interpretaba el melódico tema. Al final del mismo, hizo subir a la emocionada chica para que le ayudara a dirigir al público a modo de coro. También hubo momentos para la reivindicación, como cuando desde las primeras filas le lanzaron la multicolor bandera LGTBIQ+ a un emocionado Mika que la sostuvo entre sus manos mientras interpretaba una intensa y sentida versión de Good Guys. Pero como nada es perfecto, y por poner algún pero, se echó de menos la interpretación de alguno de los temas del último álbum cantado íntegramente en francés. Al menos ese era el sentir unánime entre muchos de los fans presentes esa noche. El sprint final de una actuación que no tuvo pausa ni respiro, estuvo trufado de los más grandes hits de su carrera. Popular Song y Billy Brown (con Mika al piano), precedieron a una Elle Me Dit, que fue acompañada con fogonazos de fuegos artificiales. Y como no podían faltar a la cita, la archiconocidas Grace Kelly y Happy Ending, pusieron el broche final a un concierto que solo contó con el bis de la aclamada Love Today, ante la insistencia del público. Con un sentido «Us estimo», Mika se despidió abrazado a los componentes de su banda. En definitiva, noche total para Mika y sus fans donde hubo emoción, baile, reivindicación y ante todo, una muy buena energía; que al final es lo que trataba de conseguir el artista desde el inicio del show. Y que a la vista de lo acontecido, consiguió con creces. Chapeau. Google translator This Wednesday, Mika performed at the Les Nits festival in Barcelona where he almost sold out. That night, in the Gardens of the Palau de Pedralbes in Barcelona, one more date of the Club Apocalypso Summer Nights was anchored, the title that gives its name to the summer tour of the London-based singer, who had not performed in Barcelona since last 2019. The multifaceted and polyglot artist of Lebanese origin arrived in Barcelona to make a splash, and so he did. With his latest album entirely in French Que Ta Tête Fleurisse Toujours (2023) under his belt, this artist whom we have been able to enjoy lately as a judge on various talent shows in France and Italy and who has enjoyed a sweet rebirth after present the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, came to Barcelona to make us vibrate. With an almost British punctuality and a “Bona Nit Barcelona!”, an energetic Mika jumped on stage dressed in white and with decorations reminiscent of nudie. He was accompanied by four musicians dressed in pristine white and who remained in the rearguard throughout the concert without taking away the master of ceremonies' prominence one bit. Behind them, neon lights and a large screen that throughout the concert was broadcasting images supporting the fifteen songs that were played one after another. And from here, and for the next two hours, a tremendous party of pop colors invaded the stands of the Palau de Pedralbes. And it's not easy to do what Mika did. Supported by a great vocal level and a physical extravagance that did not decline throughout the night, the artist knew how to use an endless number of stage tricks that maintained the audience's tension at all times. It should be noted that the complicity that Mika has with his legion of passionate fans makes it seem that they are part of the show itself, giving it greater grandeur if possible. The pop icon started the concert with Ice Cream and Origin Of Love; perhaps the only songs in which I remember seeing the festive audience sitting down. In the first act of complicity of the night, Mika brought Ada, a fan from the front row, onto the stage to help him translate into Catalan a speech in which the artist joked about the real place where the concert was taking place. . Before an audience already surrendered at his feet, Mika stated that regardless of the origin of each one, the common bond of all attendees should be none other than love. Next, with the classic Lollipop, he kicked off what, from that moment on and for the rest of the night, would no longer be anything other than a big dance floor. From the first to the last soul in the room stood up never to sit down again. And if anyone tried, Mika would not allow it in any way. After that brilliant start to the show, Mika put the brakes on performing the beautiful Stuck In The Middle With You on the piano; song that he dedicated to his grandmother. And, again, the party returned with Big Girl (You are Beatiful); song that included the first wardrobe change of the night (I counted to seven). In this great song the fusion of the artist with the public was already total. A Mika decked out in a bright multicolored suit toured the entire audience, merging with a euphoric audience that chanted the chorus to the point of exhaustion. "No one should be judged by their physical appearance," the artist snapped, and then dedicated the song to the owner of the legendary Californian venue Butterfly Lounge. With Underwater, Mika showed his gratitude to a dedicated fan who had taken the time to make and distribute seven hundred paper fish among the audience so that they would wave while the artist performed the melodic song. At the end of it, he brought the excited girl up to help him lead the audience as a chorus. There were also moments for vindication, like when from the front rows they threw the multicolored LGTBIQ+ flag to an excited Mika who held it in his hands while performing an intense and heartfelt version of Good Guys. But since nothing is perfect, and to put a few buts, he missed the performance of some of the songs from the last album sung entirely in French. At least that was the unanimous feeling among many of the fans present that night. The final sprint of a performance that had no pause or respite, was filled with the biggest hits of his career. Popular Song and Billy Brown (with Mika on piano), preceded an Elle Me Dit, which was accompanied by flashes of fireworks. And since they couldn't miss the event, the well-known Grace Kelly and Happy Ending put the final touch on a concert that only featured the encore of the acclaimed Love Today, at the insistence of the public. With a heartfelt “I love you,” Mika said goodbye hugging the members of his band. In short, a total night for Mika and his fans where there was emotion, dancing, vindication and above all, a very good energy; which in the end is what the artist was trying to achieve from the beginning of the show. And in view of what happened, she more than achieved it. Chapeau. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
