MIKA = amazingness

so i went to see MIKA in concert last night - and when i say that this man knows how to put on a show, its an understatement. i mean he rocked it from start to finish, but let me start with gary go - the guys that opened the show.

when we first entered the theater, i wasn't sure what to expect since it was more of a musical type of establishment that's now being used as a church half the time? not sure what the deal is on that, but that's not the point. so at 8 pm, this guy and his keyboard and friend con guitar open the show for MIKA. i wasn't sure at first who it was until he said his/the band was gary go. my sister remembered who he was before i did and reminded me that we had downloaded his song 'wonderful' sometime in june this year because it was on the swiss top charts and we liked it. i have to say, these boys have got some talent too. i was only able to find one other song from them to download - 'open arms' - which is awesome too, but i wish i could find more ... hmm ... can anyone help?

and then... MIKA. oh man. i mean, i know europeans are awesome at what they do always, but he is absolutely amazing where show performance goes. he knows exactly how to pump up a crowd and keep them wanting more until he walks off the stage after his encore. i mean, amazing. i give him ***** (5stars). no joke.

again, MIKA is amazing. and if you don't know who he is, i suggest you do some research. he amazed me last night, and i'm sure he'll amaze many more in the future - hopefully you'll be among the lucky to get to see him in concert.

for now,
much love
