A brilliant performance of "Blame it on the girls". It's about time for Mika to conquer the USA now. And he surely DOES have the potential one needs to succeed and be a real star.
So, I have actually been at this gig on Thursday - and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to! Everyone was having such an amazing time - and so did he. PW is an outstanding songwriter and singer/performer. He might not be in the top charts, neither in Europe, nor in the UK, but the real musisc lovers know of him and appreciate him for what he's doing.
As for the unlucky end....Before "Accident & emergency" he was told that there were only 4 more minutes left. Patrick then said that it has been ages since he last wore a watch and that for him 4 minutes means 2 songs :) So actually after "A&E" he was only gonna be doing one more song ("The magic position"), but they just cut the P/A of. Without any further announcement. Plus: It was only 10 to 10 PM, it was not even 10 o'clock. Most fans didn't get it, and so did Patrick. I really understand why he was freaking out, though he might have overreacted a tiny bit. But it only proves how much he didn't want to disappoint his fans. And that's just great!
The real scandal was IMO that the c/o pop festival had hired Steve Strange (leadsinger of the 80s band "Visage" - you might now their hit "Fade to grey") as Patrick's support and he delivered really poorly. Almost fell off stage at times.
So, in conclusion, I can only say once more that this gig was superb and Petrick's really talented and knows how to gain the crowd.
Go Mika!

"We are golden" is gonna be a massive hit! And the snippets of the other songs on the new album also sound very promising! Can't wait!
