By the way, hello 'Terre'   , I've just realized I sat in front of you in the concert, in the 3rd row seat 1. Since you sat in the section 119 in the 4th row in seat 2, and there was someone screaming behind me.    

Hehe, what a coincidence! I had row 3 seat 2, so I sat next to you and thus in front of Terre as well.

Great vid! Fantastic to have a TC channel record something at the show....

LOL! And I thought the acoustics/echo in the Amsterdam ArenA was bad, but this is....

I didn't notice any bad echo in the Hartwall Arena...looll..I guess I was too exited.

Oh, come on. This footage is shot with a news camera from the mix table. Sound was great at the arena.

I remember a young boy sitting near me who seemed to have the most boring two hours of his life. During LCMM, everyone but him was standing and dancing or at least clapping their hands, and when Céline came to the catwalk and stood right in front of this young man, he preferred looking at his feet!

And the funniest thing is that he seemed to be there alone! I thought the woman next to him was his mother who had forced him to be there but as the concert ended, they didn't seem to know each other after all.

Well he must've left with someone, I don't think he'd be left alone there.  Maybe he was the kid of someone in the show or crew.  

Thanks for all the Youtube links for the show, another amazing show for Celine.  I'm glad you all had a blast at the show.  Ok, what did everyone buy there?

[maatu89]

tour book and a lighter.

[n loves c]

I got the mug. I drank my morning coffee from it today . I love it.

[nano]

I didn't buy anything..I really wanted the tour program and the official world tour t-shirt, though.....I guess I have to go to NYC then.

I wish there was an audio bootleg from the Helsinki concert.

[n loves c]

Me too. I also wish I could go to a "French" concert.. am jealous of you apparently going to Nice. Btw, which Kalevala jewelry you gave her in Vegas?

[Galuush]

Thanks for the pics!
Celine is so sweet

Wow! Hi!   That's funny! Someone screaming... That sounds like me!     A friend of mine (also a fan) was sitting next to me but she didn't scream at all. Yeah, it was an amazing night!

I'm glade all had fun!!

Kylie had a concert in Helsinki last night..and now the papers are comparing the two shows.
They are saying that you can't even compare the voices but Kylie had a better show, she was spontaneous whilst Céline's concert was too calculated and robotic.
Kylie flirted with the audience and she was more real than Céline.

lol..they know nothing.

Well... I haven't watched Kylie's show but what they said about Celine isn't far from the truth.

I made some quick scans of some of the articles..  

Helsingin Sanomat, June 8


IltaLehti, June 10


Ilta Sanomat, June 10



Ilona, June 11

I also have to kinda agree on this. Well, about Celine without seeing Kylie. But I'd rather use professionally planned and executed than robotic, which is usually used in a negative sense, but I know what they mean. Not sure how Kylie can be more real than Celine lol, but Celine could have had more interaction with the people in the audience, not just the audience in general. You could only see a couple of hasty waves back at some people. It seemed like she was afraid to make contact in fear someone will go crazy and run to the stage maybe

THANK YOU for the scans! I still haven't read any of them.

[Cellphone]

Why am I not surprised that the Finnish press has to find something negative to say about Céline?   Luckily most of the reviews were positive. At least I haven`t read any other negative articles apart from that Iltasanomat-article where the writer compared Cèline and Kylie (who can`t be compared btw).

I haven`t seen Kylies show either so I can`t say anything about that.

Hmm, that's very strange. It seems that the square-form screens set is no more. In this picture below it seems that there is an 8-angle set of screen, isn't that??






Or is it just that the 4-angle set of screens just fold, so that it becames an 8-side..
I hope you know what I mean

The square one was damaged in Stockholm.  In one of the sequences near the end of the concert it collided with one of the sets of lights and some of the small panels were hanging down at crazy angles.  Guess it's gone away to be fixed!

Thanks for the info. Good they have a backup plan.

[Dionesque]

Thank you for all the reviews and magnificant pics!!!

Don't worry about the press reviews - I guess it's their job to always find some negative points, no metter who's show they are talking about and no matter what country is it in...

The main thing is that the fans enjoyed Céline's first ever concert in Finland!!! I'm sooo happy for you!!!!

Anu, may we see the pics with Céline from the airport??

[ubulka]

I saw Kylie's show here in Budapest, but Kylie is Kylie, and CELINE is CELINE. No mixture

I totally agree with you. This is the most important issue of this tour. The only failure of the tour is NOT able to make fans happy, NOT low ticket sales or negative press reviews.
