Suzy Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Over the last 2 days its been very hard to catch up and respond and read every post (site was down, busy weekend with family, etc). So far, though, it sounds like most of you had the most incredible time. Â MIKA cancelled the Quebec and Idol appearances I was supposed to go to and I thought I would be insanely jealous and braced myself to read all these reports but I'm soooo glad I have. Â I don't take his cancelling personally - how the heck can I? But I am sincerely pleased that he has put a lot of effort in making sure to give his fans in NYC a performance to make up for the crap weather.

Lucy Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Cynthia I can't wait for you to finish your report. I bet you still tired. I spoke with Naomi briefly. She was very nice. I saw you inside while I was in line waiting. Amazing story and awesome experience. Question, do you know who got Mika's shirts? Are the VIPs getting them or is too late? I bet you got to meet MIKA. By any chance do you know where he was heading next after NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavi Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 wow! amazing reports and amazing pictures! i'm so happy for u guys! anyone has pictures of the notes he wrote?? i think he wrote and prob didn't say it aloud cause of the ppl outside and i guess it was more fun that way..i think that was sooo cute, whereas if he had said it, it would have been like whatever u know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Mulat Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Ok this is for bexxy, who is urging me to finish. Â So where did i leave off? lol! I'm serious! Let me check. oh, ok. Sound chech,band........... ok, now i know. Cherisse, Mikey and Martin headed in the main studio hall for a sound check which doesn't have much to tell. I tried to hang around in the studio while they were sound checking but i kept getting called to escort more of Mika's friends upstairs. The guys in charge of security wanted me to stay in the back hall near the door so they could cross check VIP's with me. After trying to sneak back and peek in on the sound check for a bit in between meeting Mika's friends,who were all so sweet, they announced that Mika was here. So they rushed me to the back door where he was entering. My heart went faint. I was completely in shock. By the back door on both sides the line of Mika fan was wrapping all around the building. I hadn't been outside since earlier that morning, so i didn't notice how long the line had gotten. So there i am standing next to a security guard in a nice suit, practically in the doorway where Mika was about to enter. I kept getting pushed more and more in the doorway because the security guard was trying to make small take with me about the fans yelling "MIKA,MIKA,MIKA" when his car pulled up. You can only imagine my look of shock. But since the security guard was looking at me i had to play it off. He said" there's your charge, make sure no one stops them while they come in and immediately get security from inside to escort them upstairs. I was like, "isn't that your job?" To Which he just laughed and said "your the VIP person here" I'm just going to keep the fans from breaking the line. yeah, that explains everything. Â It took them so long to get out of the car. Through the tinted windows i could see the outline of Mika, His mom, sister and another lady. Mika was talking to the driver i think and then for a brief moment i felt like he was just staring at me. For like a brief moment someone rolled down the window and i saw that he was staring at me. I quickly turned away from his gaze out of fright of being right and tried to maintain a professional composure as he was getting out of the car and heading straight towards me. I looked up just in time to smile and say something but i was too late. He was extremely tall and as i smiled he passed right over me while looking at the ground. i was like "darn,I'm an idiot. i should have just kept eye contact". But who could survive such an intense stare from Mika. I really think he was trying to place where he knew me from. (Which turns out to be true , but i'll explain later) So i being a mikafan did what anyone would do and followed him inside the build, not noticing for a bit that the security guard was calling me to come back because Mika's mom and sister were about to get out of the car. by the time i realized i was breaking my professional stance, i looked up to see Mika turning into the studio where the band was doing their sound check. I thought , "darn, they are going to kill me, i was supposed to lead him upstairs to his dressing room" As i turned around to go back His mom was heading through the door with Zulieka and i greeted them both. His mom made small talk with me about the rain and told me that Yasmine would be coming in shortly. She asked me which way mika went and i told her and her and Zulieka quickly went into the studio. I just watched them pass without telling them anything because they seem pretty content on being with Mika. So i just stood there for a bit watching looking back and forth from the doorway where Yasmine was to be expected shortly and the huge door of the studio which was half way blocking my view of the GMA studio, where Zulieka and her mom were standing. For about five minutes i did this because the security guard kept peeking in at me just to see if i was still around. He then said he needed me to stay near and not to leave the area. I was dying in side, i wanted to see the sounds check. Then another five minutes went by when i saw Yasmine and another lady, which i later on found out was Nadia, Mika manager,coming out of the same black suv, Mika, his mom and sister had arrived in. Â i tried to greet them but they seemed like they were in a hurry. Yasmine just passed by me as if i said nothing but his manager just looked at me when i greeted her. I was like,"ok, i guess this is where my luck will change." Â luckily i was wrong. After everyone had entered the building they closed the doors and i was free for a little while to go and watch the sound check. When i came to the door Zulieka was standing a behind it sort of spacing out and i approached her and started chatting with her. i introduced myself and asked her how old she was, mainly because she didn't talk or look as young as a hear people say she was. I've heard 16 sometimes 17 but she told she was 18. She's extremely tall, especially because she was wearing high heels. She seemed so much taller than Mika, Yasmine did as well. I asked her if she was going to sing Happy Ending with Mika today which she replied that she wasn't and that he wasn't planning on singing it as well, just a few of the songs on his singles. His mom came over to where we were and i quickly averted my attention at her. She had a bunch of "backstage GMA" tags with chains that she was putting together. Some guy came up to her adn gave he a whole bunch. So she gave me and Zulieka one and introduced herself as " Joni, Mika's mother" and asked me what was on the list i was holding. i told her i was a representative of the Mikafanclub and she was like "really!?". I was a bit shocked that she's heard of us but i said"yeah" and she told me to make sure that i get all of those people into the studio today because Mika really wants to meet all his fans. He really appreciates the fans. i was in awe. I said to her that, that's one of the things i respect the most about mika, he really cares about his fans. he knows that if it weren't for us he's just be a talented musician sitting in a room all by himself. She was really inspired by this and said" yes, he really knows this very well. he didn't' expect to see so many fans outside the doors today. He was so shocked that so many people came out in this weather to see him." I was like" wow, thats very modest of him. i thought he knew he had tons of fans here?" She said, that they were all shocked to see the amount of fans waiting outside. i reassured that it would have been tons more if it wasn't for the rain and we had a little laugh. This moment was almost like a movie, it was so hilarious. i told her that the MFC had a thread up once saying that 'we wanted to remember Mika like this" because we were afraid that soon he would be so big he wouldn't have time to meet with us or recognize up anymore. She quickly added that she hopes he NEVER gets that big and that its was so hard to keep a level head in this business but the family works hard to make sure Mika does and repeated herself by saying "Mika really loves the fans and wants to met them all". After which i noticed some commotion inside and looked up at the stage to see that Mika was peering at me in between a conversation with Ray and a few of the production crew. i kinda got nervous, because i was thinking" maybe he doesn't want me to talk to his family, and how long has been watching me?" Oh well i resolved that they were just people and i wasn't a special friend of his so it didn't matter. I could be anyone. After a bit of feeling uneasy i heard some one say "everybody in, we need to do an official sound check." So Joni (mika's mom) said lets go in to me and Zulieka and someone closed the door behind us. Â For the first time in several hours i could see Naomi,Kjoshi,Finkster, Brianna outside the window waiting with a whole crowd of people. It was a real reality check because that was supposed to be me. Â (fourth part in a bit. I really need a break now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmot Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Cynthia, what great reports!! That is amazing. I think it is so funny that security was relying on you to know who to let in and who not to let in....also where to send all the people. You did a great job for them organizing it all!! Sounds like they needed you....maybe you should get a job with them???? Way to go!!!! Can't wait to read more. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Ohhh I spoke to you, Lucy?? It's nice to have a name with your face now. To answer part of your question while Cynthia is resting, we were told to hand out the shirts to those outside because they weren't able to get in. Originally, if the rain had subsided, the VIP MFCers would have gotten the shirts, but GMA decided that the people who were unable to get in should get them. Nice of them, huh? When I joined Cynthia, I realized how badly the GMA people felt about not letting everyone in. I was pleasantly surprised, because that was my first behind the scenes look at a TV show and they were actually very nice! Â It was very nice for them to do that. We got a chance to be inside with him!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Highline Ballroom, where the free concert was held has posted their pics... http://www.highlineballroom.com/photos.php?page=1&g=Mika  Thanks for posting. I didn't know they were going to do this. He was so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Not that I saw. We handed in these purple slips with some of our personal information but nothing became of that. The important thing is that we got to be inside only inches away from the MIKA! Thank you soo much for the VIP passes, MFCers We felt bad for those stuck outside but c'mon.. when it comes to mika its every man for himself. Â Yes, kudos to all who arranged for the VIP passes. This was the first time I saw Mika live, and it couldn't have been better. I was supposed to go home on Friday, but extended my stay until Saturday, because of the free concert. What a special treat. He was sooo great. I'm still dazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
