Another 3 years in Vegas?!

Rest in peace (pieces) Celine's career...

    

[CSCfan]

Oh please people, it's 3 years, yes...but it's only 75 shows per year and not 150-200.

[Der_Griffon]

Oh, yes, "only" 75 shows... So they don't mean that she won't make new albums, promote them and tour the world, right? Because it's only 75 shows a year we're talking about.
Her career suffered a huge blow after the first 5 years, even though many fans refuse to see it as anything else but a success. And you know why it plummeted? Because she went out of the public eye and Las Vegas is not the focal point of the world. Now she's simply going to repeat the same mistake.
Oh, whatever. Let her. It's more than obvious she's not really interested in her singing career anymore.

[smw]

Celine's first show in Vegas was groundbreaking.  And she will be remembered for it...always.  

But to go back?????????  Such a bad idea for her career.

Whilst I agree in principle, "A New Day..." was groundbreaking at the time and it was a phenomenal success. And whilst it did have an impact on her international career this was only to be expected.

To repeat the whole process though, even if it is only for 75 shows per year, is in my opinion a terrible career move.

Totally agree with you, Der Griffon... AND...'s been a success for LV, for the state of Nevada and for Reney's wallet. And maybe set a landmark in showbusiness, but has she evolved artistically or is she near to her career's peak in terms of musical relevance? Is she topping the lists anymore? If so, tell me... I guess not. And if she repeats, she herself will absolutely kill her career, even more for the non-fan. Nobody will remember her, even fewer people than today. Do you still think that's a good idea to start a new LV project? Céline does so, but not every idea she and René have is perfect and gold, they're human beings, not gods. As much as I love Céline I truly think this is the perfect mistake to condemn herself into oblivion. Into a titanic oblivion.

[Belle Céline]

75 shows isn't a big deal, I don't think its going to "kill" her career if she does just 75 shows.

Exactly, its Celine's choice, its her career, if she feels its the right move then so be it. If I could save enough money I'd travel to Vegas and see the show if she goes back. So if she wants to go back then I'll be thrilled because I never saw the show the first time like I wanted to.

[Bruno Portugal]

What about the "Callas" project, and so much more interesting and brand new things Celine could do??? Las Vegas again is quite disapointing...

[Bellamy]

75 shows a year. She has enough time for any other project, if she wants to.

yes, that's what he said, I heard his voice saying it. she re-signed for 3 years.

When will it begin?

He didn't say anything about that, but I think he already said too much.. I'm not quite sure René had appreciated. He also said that Celine has sent for his birthday a gigantic flower bouquet

The fact that Celine might rather stay in one place and live somewhat of a normal life instead of flying around all over the world doesn't mean much to some, does it? Not as long as they don't get what they want?

I couldn't agree more with you, Heck she could say screw Vegas I want to Make new records. Also she could say heck, I just want to be a stay at home mom and take Rene Charles to School. Not to do anything.

     She's not been really interested since her comeback in 2002. Her career went to a second place -and that's right- as long as she knew how to keep her status in the international music scene. But she didn't

Totally . And another Vegas, that won't add anything new to her career, but more oblivion towards her outside Las Vegas.

Totally agree      . She did a wrong move extendind the first A New Day till 2007, when she should have ended with it at the due time, but now, coming back again there... She's crazy if she thinks that will help her career or keep her status as great singer.

SO disappointing. I don't why she has to do that again. It's like she's forced to it!? Why? Can't she stay at home and recording new albums from time to time and promoting them properly (something A LOT easier than running a show during 3 years?)

I don't understand her sincerely

[René 2]

I hope they didn't do that just for René to play poker ! Or I'm not René2 anymore  

[Frida]

Just let her do what she wants to do, it's honestly not that hard to accept...

Because we are here to comment about her music and we love and want new music from her, but don't want to see her retiring in that place again?

Guess to some it doesn't. To me it does, she should be able to raise RC where she wants and stay where she wants. I think if she wants to keep RC in FL in school that's great, or if she wants to keep him there for a few years then go to Vegas and stay there that's fine. I think once school is out and if it really sure true she's going back to Vegas then its her choice and she can put RC in school there.

I have to agree with what Frida said earlier as well, let Celine do what she wants and accept it. It's not our choice it's her's.

[Nmj]

if she goes back to vegas she can still tour and do other projects if she wants too. 70 shows a year is just about less then 7 shows a  month

[Belle Céline]

Yes exactly, she will have time for other things depsite people thinking she won't.

So do I.. We don't all judge equally Celine's steps in her career, but we all have the right to express ourselves, no matter how much we agree or disagree. For me, Celine's return in Ceasar's Palace is wrong or at least not desirable! I'd like her to do other fresh or innovative in her career stuff, but what is wrong for me or anyone of us, it might be right for Celine and what she's craving for her life now! Don't be selfish, we all want to see Celine be placed the crown of pop music again upon her head, but she rules her life and noone else! Even if she does for money, that's again her choice..

And for me it'd be completely unfair to have Celine for another 3 years, grounded in L.V, cause I don't think the majority of her fans can afford an at least 2000$ trip, to watch her live for just one night!I love Celine so much, I've grown up and believed with her music, I admire her artistic and personal identity as noone else's, but I can't rest on a thought of watching Celine again while she'll be turning 50. I demand on myself that I deserve a second chance to see her, as so many of us do..as so many of us support her through all these years...

Everyone has been stating their opinion no one is saying they can't. No one has to agree with what someone else says either. I for one am kind of in the middle, I want her to go back because it might, just might give me a chance to see her in Vegas and maybe it would be the second time I'd see her but then again I do want her to do a new cd or new project. Also please don't think that I'm complaining about money issues I'm not, but I know there's no way I could justify spending 2000$ to go to Vegas for a single show, despite wanting to see Celine if she does go back.

Edited by Belle Céline, 02 December 2009 - 06:39 PM.

[I Love You]

Either way I am excited that Celine is going back to Vegas, It gives me an excuse to see her a third or fourth time for that matter. Waste some of my money at boutique when so goes back to Ceasar's Palace.

But it IS fair that if Celine does get pregnant again that she gives the same courtesy she gave to Rene-Charles to her new baby. Because flying from country to country and hotel room to hotel room, at least for me, doesn't cut it. If Celine get's pregnant, let her give the new baby the same chances RC had. And besides, it is only 75 shows. I really don't think this is career suicide. It allows her to perform but also allows her to have more time off than she did with AND... and to do other projects. As someone else said, if you did the minimum amount of shows per month, it'd be about 7 per month. Everyone does have a right to their own opinion, but I think that calling this new Vegas show carrer suicide is just taking it too far. Let Celine do what she wants. I'll even go so far as to quote the AND...The Secrets VERBATIM "I want to have more success as a mother than as a singer." It's Celine's life. As long as she's happy, I'm happy.
