Gosh I loved him so much when I was younger, his songs were my favorite. This takes me back ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Bitchette-]

Why was this seriously the best performance of the show They really let the hosts outperform the contestants this year 😫

[@jeddar8067]

I didn’t know about mika before watching eurovision i am glad i found about him and his music thru eurovision!! His new song is so beautiful ❤️🎶🎶 i am streaming it

[@sunshineinspace6207]

I grew up listening to him, continuing to listen to him over the years and I gotta tell you I almost woke the neighbours up when this performance started! You have found an absolute GEM!

[@nataliehoughton1909]

Welcome to the world of Mika! You should check out his song Origin Of Love.. one of my favourites 😊 such a talented artist!

[@jeddar8067]

@@nataliehoughton1909 thank you! I will definitely listen to it 💓

[@Flo-jh8rw]

This is what made this eurovision!!!!

[@ninalevelsup]

Watching this multiple times every day because of the serotonin it gives me

[@miriam_ftzr]

Saw him live on Friday at the Jury finale. Since then I can't stop listening to his songs on Spotify and I've watched this performance like 50x. I love it so much! MIKA carried the contest ❤️

This was probably the best produced part of Eurovision 2022…

[@yesmarioo]

Agree fully. Don’t understand why Italy got so much flack for it (mainly from the UK). It was absolutely impeccable. The staging, the costumes, the hosts were great, the lighting 10/10. My fav Eurovision since Love, Love, Peace,Peace ❤

[@jamesthompson4062]

Absolutely amazing - Great set and I love your music Mika - Please please tour. Italy put on a great show - We never watch this event but was well and truly drawn into it. Everyone involved created such a togetherness feeling show. Brilliant.

[@ef1876]

I was too drunk the night of to fully appreciate it by the time he came on but rewatching this is amazing!

[@plebontheweb]

Ive watched this 10 times over and I can't get enough. can't believe it was only six minutes should be longer. I want a full live version of love today with the drums and all

[@orthia87]

I just love Mika. His songs positivity and his big smile fills my heart with happiness. Thanks for giving me hope in my worst times.
