I arrived at the Balaton Sound Festival in the morning and was surprised to see the area. The stage was only two minutes walk from the beach, the place looked beautiful and people were starting their beach party wearing bikinis and swimsuits. They had obviously come to see their friends and to party, not particularly to see the artists, so the whole day and night was relaxed, there was no pushing and we could easily leave our spots to buy drinks and the audience was happy and warm.

I really enjoyed it that everything in the show was kept plain and simple. Mika had his old flower curtain as the background and he was wearing white clothes and he made a lot of contact with his audience, and this is how I like him best. We can always read a lot of emotions from his face and he looked almost touched when he noticed that the audience knew lyrics for songs like Happy Ending even though he is not that well-known in Hungary. 

The show had no new songs or not many show elements and it was mostly the audience which was so much better than I expected and Mika’s relaxed singing what made it so special, and although I couldn’t wait to see his new Marie Antoinette show and to hear his new French songs I really enjoyed this last show with Big Girls and Lollipop Girls. At the end of the show a random guy from the audience shouted “Mika, you rock!!” and that made me smile and was such great and well-deserved feedback.
