She stayed in Brussels during the shows in Antwerp, the Conrad hotel is one of the best you can get and I think Céline knows that to

She got a police escort while driving from Brussels to Antwerp so she wasn't to late...

But it's all over now.  At this moment she's in the air or even landed at Paris for the next couple of shows...

Celine has just arrived in Paris

[I Surrender]

I just came back and it was A MA ZING

She was in great shape, she clearly enjoyed herself and she was all smiles all evening.
The crowd was great also. Lots of people standing up and she got a few standing ovations after certaint songs
No Tout L'or des hommes this evening but she did do Je sais pas

I was in Block 3 Row 8 which turned out to be the last row in our block. We had the control booth right behind us but no sign of Rene. Being in the last row we were able to stand up all eve without any hassles.
I took about 8 video's and I will upload them asap. Also a few pics.

The stage is even more amazing in real life I have to say. The sliding floors were so cool !! The projections and the screens are great.

My Love was a gem I recorded the full song with intro
All By Myself was a treat. The hight note blew the roof off and peeps went crazy.
S'il suffisait d'aimer will always be special to me and tonight it was being sung so gracefully it gave me the chills.

I could go on forever but I am on such a high I dont know what to say next

I bought the tourbook (30 euros) and a coffe mug (15 euros)

The venue was perfect for this type of stage and the sound was great so I had a night I will never forget.
Bring on Amsterdam

Just waiting on an exact date yeah ....
Two members of celine's team told me last week in london, that the tour will end in vegas in february, as I asked them was the rumour true!!!

Hum, Rene said it was sure the tour will finish in Quebec or Montreal..

Remember when Rene said there would be no more concerts in Montreal? They were later added a lot! Even Rene is wrong

I was in block 4, 4th row, so we sat close together. The show was even more amazing than wednesday.
I was also looking for Rene by the control booth, but did you see Patrick Angélil ? I had a frog with me for Céline and I gave it to Patrick. He said that he was going over to her to bring her on stage and that he would give it to her right away. That was awsome  

[LD1977]

OMG, what an amazing night! Before the show we had diner with a group of fans, including MJ (so nice to meet you!) and after dinner we met with Estevam (missed you so much!). It was fun and everyone was really excited! We had first row tickets but when I looked at the seatmap, it looked like we were in one of the blocks at the side. So that's what I was expecting and I was fine with that, front row, had nothing to complain about! But the usher brought us to our seats and stopped right in the middle of the block that was in the middle, so we were on the best seats of the house! I could not believe it, and I said: "Are you sure these are our seats?" But she confirmed again and I was over the moon!    What a surpise and what a great gift! Right before the show we went to the toilet and were walking behind bodyguard Nick, who was going in the same way. He was so nice! He opened the door for us and he recognised my friend, who had seen him in Vegas when she was having a meet and greet. He shaked our hands and introduced himself (DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH, like I would not recognize him) and he was being so friendly! He chatted with us while walking through the venue, so nice!  

The show was absolutely amazing. When I drove all night started, we were all standing up and I got goosebumps all over! I had been to the 2 previous concerts in Antwerp as well, but to be right in front of Céline when she comes on stage, was just a dream! She made eye-contact with us all the time and she gave us a wink one time as well. We were going crazy, dancing, screaming, we really enjoyed! The people behind us were standing as well, so there were no problems with that. And then something unbelievable happened! Everybody was dancing and having fun, and suddenly a guy from the venue came to us and told us to sit down in a very rude way. First people kept staying on their feet, but he kept saying they needed to sit down. When he arrived at my seat to tell me to sit down, I asked him: "WHY?" and refused to sit. He did not want to give an explanation and just kept saying I needed to sit, he was being very rude. Finally everyone sat down but we were all very angry. And then the best part of the evening happened. Céline obviously had noticed what was going on, because she came to our side and made hand moves: STAND UP, STAND UP! So everybody litterally jumped from their seats and danced and shouted and had fun! I LOVED THAT SO MUCH, you should have seen the look on her face! She was determined to give us a great night and she looked like: SCREW HIM! STAND UP! I could go on stage and hug that woman, it was so amazing, like we were having a pact together!   One time she almost slipped on her high heels, but she acted like nothing happened and danced like never before.

The other thing that was happening was that she obviously had cut her finger and she was bleeding! She pointed at her bandmembers with her finger but at first they did not notice. Finally Barnev brought her a white tissue and she kept that with her for the next song. I thought that she would have had a bandage after the costume-change, but no such thing! She came back with the blood still on her finger and it stayed on the whole night! When she pointed in the camera you could see it very well on the screen, almost like a horror-movie!   I had a bandage in my bag but she was moving and dancing and being wild so there was no way I could have showed it to her.    She acted like nothing was wrong, at one time she even hit the stage really hard with her sore hand! I guess the adrenaline makes you forget that its better to be carefull with that hand, because otherwise it will start bleeding again...     

She did not do Tout l'or des hommes and On ne change pas, too bad because that last song is one of my favourites and I enjoyed it very much on Tuesday. But still, the night was so good, she was in top shape and you could tell she was having so much fun! I made some pics but I am not sure, I think the are not that good. I had to force myself to enjoy this unique moment in stead of making pics all the time. When she was right in front of us, I wanted to sing with her, I did not want her to only see my camera all the time. Will post my pics in a few minutes, and later on I will get some pics from a friend as well, he has some good ones I think!

Well, there is nothing left to say apart from: THIS WOMAN BLOODY ROCKS!   

Paris, here we come!

[LD1977]

Here are some pics, I had to make them smaller because the original size is huge.

The last pic is after the show, I could not believe my eyes! While people were still walking out, they started to strip the stage! By the time we were at the entrance it was like it all had been a dream and nothing happened that night! The stage was almost gone already!

      Last night was amaaaaaazing!!     

I had excellent seats, block1, row1, seats 1&2  

And block 1 was great, we were standing a lot of the time, and cheering and there was even some dancing involved. And we were even standing all the way from Love Can Move Mountains till she left the building.

i noticed her bloody hand, and it looked like she had something in her eye also around the beginning of the song. She was standing with Barnev for a bit there.

Her voice was in great shape, and the highlight of the night was that when she sang My Love, at the end she kneeled down right in front of me and looked me straight in the eyes    couldn't really believe that she did that, so then I put my hand on my heart and nodded thank you and she made this cute face to me  
I really really hope someone made a video of My Love.

So glad I'm going to see her 3 more times, although these were probably my best seats ever!
7 more days till Paris  

[celinefanonline]

thanks for the pics!!

[I Surrender]

I cannot believe u guys were told to sit down by that guard, thats just ridiculous.

In my block not many people were standing up during the show only a few but as we were in the last row of our block we had not problems at all. The crowd was really into it, lots of cheering and screaming going on and when Celine asked people to stand up and join in everyone stood up and had a party
It clearly gave Celine a buzz because she was in really good spirits, joking around with the bandmembers and dancers and making faces
The look on her face clearly showed she enjoyed every minute of it. At the beginning of MY love a few people shouted but when she started talking about the song it was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
I have the song and intro on video and I will upload it and the rest later

We arrived at the venue around 5.30 pm and we managed to hear the last song of the soundcheck: Dans un autre monde, it sounded amazing from the parking lot so I knew we would be in for a treat

A few pics:






More pics and vids will follow asap.

[pegasus]

And this is me, with Céline! Just couldn't resist
