MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE NEW SINGLE LOLLIPOP!! del.interoute.com/?id=ee6ca76b-108d-42c6-b320-2981e14c98e7&delivery=streamAlso, the EMAs were dreadful as a whole. Mika's performance was by far THE BEST! ALSO a local college radio station near me is beginning to play "Relax". I heard it driving home from school a few days ago and the DJ said Mika's name wrong! "and that was Mike-a with Relax". Oh hell no. I acceleated myself home, called the station, and corrected her. It's MEEEEEKA, BITCH!

"Relax" is being pushed as a single again in the U.S. The Tony Moran & Warren Rigg remix that was issued during the initial release has been included on the Promo Only Dance Radio CD for the month of December. Dance radio loves him!

It seems like his U.S. singles have been a mess, in terms of which ones are being pushed and promoted.

^^I KNEW he's be nomed for a Grammy. It's good that he's nomed, but I don't think he'll win. he should have been nominated for an international award or something. HOPEFULLY we get an appearance from him (looking at his tour sched, MAYBE WE WILL HAVE ONE AT THE GRAMMYS!

I'm TrYING to buy tickets, but no site lists them yet. I JUST WANNA GET TICKETS BECASUE I KNOW HOW QUICK THEY DISAPPEAR FOR HIM!!! :( :( Look how small the place is!: cache.viewimages.com/xc/72597918.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193875DCB1DD8387ABB13260B917B4C6A25A40A659CEC4C8CB6 :( WHAT THE HELL THE SHOWS ARE IN THE MORNING? I have tickets but I didn't know that. Oops. Also, it's in such a big arena! He's come a long way since March when it was that small little bar. A small little bar? haha! did you get a chance to talk to him? Are you going with anyone this time around? I dunno how many tickets to buy....i don't think any one of my friends actually know who Mika is. I could go with my aunt and/or sister, I guess.

That's the time they go on sale! Hahah - the show's at 7.30. Did you get tickets?! I'm going with 2 of my friends who looove him too. Let me tell you - Mika in a small venue = AMAZING. You'll loooove it. Nah he didn't come out after until 1 AM and it was a Monday so I couldn't stay too long. It wasn't THAT small lmao I was exaggerating - about 200 people I guess. But still - compared to the hockey arena he's about to sing it, it's tiny. I got tickets on the floor though, so if I get there early I should be near the stage.

NO! No sites are listing them yet! I'm scared that the day they DO list them, I'll be too late. And with the small amount of places he's going in the US, I wouldn't be suprised if people from FAR OFF STATES purchase tickets to these shows (including this Philly one). I don't even know how much they cost yet.....but I'm definetly buying 3...

Lollipop and Relax, Take It Easy were released as a double a-side single, so technically he does have 6 top 20 songs... but 5 top 20 singles...

Aw I wonder how Derek liked his show.
I saw him last night, it was just a great as last year. Sure it was an arena which is a bit less fun but he improve performing-wise and it was overall a slightly bigger production.
The sheer pleasure he gets out of seeing the crowd sing along and dance never fails to make me smile - and his enery is ridiculously contagious. He's a great performer.

Welp....I'm back....it's 1:21am, my nose is still running from the cold, my ears are still ringing, and I'm still all jittery and happy! Yeah, get to see the show (my sis and aunt went with me again)...UNFORTUNATLY I don't have ANY magnificent pics like last time (if I would of known they would check a shoe, lets just say, I would have snuck the cam in in my sneaker) but I did get a few grainy quality clips on my cell phone (it's SOEMTHING) It was PACKED...We were RIGHT up front toward the right..SO CROWDED, but we were HELLA close. not reaching distance, but we weren't ALL the way in the back center or whatever. I actually saw a girl I knew from school who had graduated there! :O We chatted a bit, it was kinda awksward, but whatev....There were some drunks aswell who were assholes, at times (being idiots and pushing and pushing the crowd just to be funny). But it all settled after Mika came on. It was nice seeing him up close in the flesh again....NOT as shocking as last time, but it was nice. :) IT WAS HIS FIRST TIME IN PHILLY! AND WE WERE HIS FIRST AMERICAN SHOW WOOO...I sung the words to EVERY song, INVCLUDING the "new" ones he's been performaing since Oct...I swear, I was one of the ONLY people who knew the words to the new songs...people were lookin at me, too.. but it was great seeing him performa all his songs (not just 3) and how much ENERGY he gave out.. Such a great vibe in the room! AFTER THE SHOW, we were RIGHT next to the side exit doors, so we scurry out... There are a few people who are at these steps, so we hang out there for a little bit... We wanted to get him leaving, but we weren't exactly sure WHERE he was leaving at...There was a great big 18 wheeler and behind it was this big tour bus...so we hurry over there and there ARE baracades and harrdly anyone there. We figure this is great, we'll see him go on the bus. Unfortunatly, The guy said he wasn't going to be over there and that everyone had to come back to where we were originally... by that time about 70 people were gathared with these baracades. I was getting my cell ready when the security gaurd made the announcement Mika personally said NO autographs or picutres,....I was like NO PICS, WTF!?!?! So, I just kinda stood there...the gaurds were sorta making it seem Mika was just gonna come out, say goodnight, and head in this van. We see Mika's mom and aunt(?) walk down the steps, get into the car. Finally, after waiting an hour in the bitter cold, Mika makes an appearance...he is tightly bundled up (most of us were wearing t-shirts or thin jackets, lol). Thankkfully he walked up tot he crowd and began to shake peeps hands. LOTS of girls were giving him stuff and he was having conversations with them. We were in the end, but in the front of the baracade. So, Mika took his time, edging closer and closer. There was a camera following Mika around aswell (whether it wpiuld be for Mika personally or MAYBE another DVD for us). It focased, the light shining on us and I made funny faces at the camera was was like "yo!'...lmao. He was so close to US when he said, "well guys, I goot go to bed" when I SCREAMED "MIKA!" and put out my hand (lol)... I think he was a bit startled and so was I cause i got his attention. I shook his hand and weirdly congradulated him on his Grammy nomination...But I said it so weird due to the combination of the runny nose, shaking, and nerves. I wish I was up a little closer so I could tell him that I saw him at GMA, oh well. He only took a few more hugs when he finally said goodnight (I feel bad for my sis cause she had this thin ass coat on, he was right in front of her and he didn't notce her, I don't think. :( She's so young, too (prolly th eyoungest one in the whole groupd of people)...But hse didn't mind... And then it was like 12:17am and we hiked back up to the car. And that was it! WOO! I HOPE YOU READ THIS< EVEN IF THERE WAS NO PICS. :(

Just a little update.... Mika was recently interviewed in China and he was talking about his plans for this year. He said that he will pretty much write all the way to summer. Once summer rolls around, he apparently will be performing at various festivals in Europe (though, I thought he said Asia aswell, but I'm not 100%). ANYWAY, he then said after the summer, he'll continue writing his new album throughout the fall which leads MANY people to belive that we SHOULD expect a new album from him Winter-Spring 09 (A YEAR AWAY! :( :( ). ANOTHER thing I'd like to mention is that APPARENTLY there is a new DVD in the works. No specifics. We all know he had a camera video taping him meet the fans after his shows during the 08 Dodgy Holiday Tour. During the beginning, it was said that the recordings would be just memoriabilia for Mika. But as the tour progressed, word slipped out that they were actually making another DVD. I dunno if this is gonna be a performance DVD or just like a documentary only... But I can tell you that I WAS DIRECTLY FILMED AT after his FIRST show outside. It would be SO WEIRD if my shot made it in the DVD. That's all for now. :) LICM Era is kinda over (the fans were saying his last gig for the DHT was the final nail in the coffin...so we are in a rest period right now, I guess.
