Big band and orchestration... wow... I'm so excited right now!!!!!!
The only thing I hope for now is the setlist to be renewed. The most, the better... I would die hearing Immortality with an orchestra!!!!!     
OMG I'll tune into Ticketmaster twitter a few times a day from now on!

And Seb / Celine's Blues, you actually scared me, but then I realised it was you...

I don't see this as cool.

This mean no Gragone, no special effects, no dancers (not like "A New Day...").
It's sounding cheap... like some old stuff to old gramps go there seat and
hear Celine and the gramps orchestra singing songs from the 60's...
At last and bla....

Can't believe Guetta's thing was not true. I'm not still over this.
I'm sooooo sad!

And even if there is a good cd coming up...

Vegas??? This is so wrong. Can't believe I'm seeing this much people getting excited here.
Celine had her run up in Vegas. She still has some 10 years to sing ahead (till René dies)
and now... Vegas again? She was SO happy to get outta there. I DON'T GET IT!

Huh?    Thank God!! Just about the movieeee

[bilinkew]

Am loving all the recent Celine activity, was missing our delightful diva!  Grammy performance was superb and Celine looked fresh and youthful, also sounding great!  Can't wait to see Through the Eyes of the World as well   Link to Vegas Sun article on Celine's video message to Bette Middler (she looks great in pic above) and rumors of Celine's return below :

Bette Midler’s farewell includes Gladys Knight, Marie Osmond, Celine Dion

He said in a French show that he's not working with Celine.

[dj4celine]

Still against the Vegas extravaganza but also glad that it would not be ridiculous like the previous one and this time she'll have more time to be able to bring out albums, be on tv shows and promote in-btween. It would be nice to see her open on NYE

oh bummer!

[mirage]

yeah but they all say something, like now with the vegas thing.
where smoke is, is fire

But i so cant wait for an official statement, and more news about what kind of show it will be!!
I hope that if its bigband/ orchestra I do hope they will keep it modern, fresh and young...

if not then i see her doing that for the rest of her career, in smokey rooms being the old diva

[Bralo20]

I just send a mail, I hope to get some answers soon.
I'll keep you all up to date if I know something.

[drove all night]

The "Las Vegas Sun" reported about Bette Midler final performance of "The Showgirl Must Go On":

"International recording superstar Celine Dion returned to “her stage” at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace last night for the final concert of Bette Midler’s two-year-run of The Showgirl Must Go On, and Marie Osmond and Gladys Knight also made surprise appearances.

Celine was present via video, and it seems to confirm our Vegas DeLuxe stories that the Canadian songbird is returning to Las Vegas. Barbara Brander of Zeropower even went so far as to advise me that Ticketmaster would start selling tickets for Celine’s return on March 25 next year! Ticketmaster actually posted that date last week, but because there’s been no announcement, it was quickly taken down."

Bette's run wasn't so successful, was it? And Cher wants out of her contract, too?

[Celine Fan 77]

Bett Midler performed My heart will go on, which surprised everyone.

[PatrickDion22]

Haha, I saw this on Google News. It was so funny they called it "her stage", even though it kind of is! From what I've read, Bette couldn't sell out as many shows as she and her team initially anticipated. But I guess that's partly due to the economics crisis the world is experiencing right now. Boy, was Celine lucky to have her gig end right when the recession was really kicking in. Then again, she still would have made tons of $$$ regardless.

[smw]

Bette has always seemed very appreciative of Celine and her talent.  Glad to see that Celine was part of the end of Bette's show.  I hope that it was a good experience for Ms. Midler.  

My opinion: Generally speaking, I think if people are ALREADY in Vegas, they'd love to see Bette's show.  But few people would travel TO Vegas for the sole purpose of seeing Bette's show.  And that's the difference between Celine Dion and Bette Midler.  

But PLEASE don't get me wrong.  Celine is known for her vocal pipes - and, thus, people crave to be in the same room as her voice.  Whereas Bette is much more accessible through film and other medias - not exactly known for having one of the best voices of all time.

[smw]

I don't think this is going to be quite the news it was in 2002.  "Celine Dion returns to Vegas" isn't exactly all that eye-catching.  If there was something BIG and SPECIFIC about the show (like "Celine Dion teams up with Madonna for her return to Vegas") - then it would get tons of media.

[celine4evauk]

I'm thinking that these dates for the Vegas return are just pencilled in. Only to happen if the IVF doesn't work, which they haven't given up on as of yet. Maybe this month she'll try for the 5th time?? And personally if she falls pregnant i can't see the new show happening until well into 2011. We'll have to see what she says during Oprah. Won't surprise me if its only about family, TC dvd, her fans, and trying for her second baby. If they're still trying IVF why would they announce a comeback - they won't know when the comeback will be!! Perhaps if the IVF was completely over it would be a different story. Who know??!!!!! Really looking forward to an english interview tho!!

"RT" on Twitter means "Retweet," which basically means "Forward to all your followers."

[kelseyraye]

Thanks! :-)

[SuperLove4Celine]

So, I tweeted this on Twitter when I woke up after finding out about the movie tickets:



And this is the reply I got from Ticketmaster through DM a few minutes ago:



Hmmm...

[SuperLove4Celine]

Okay, so I just asked this to Ticketmaster:



And these are the responses I got a few minutes ago:



So, I'm thinking if that's the case then the dates that popped up a few days ago were legit and it truly was someone at Caesars who screwed up big-time.

...Joe...

[SuperLove4Celine]

Okay, now they're just playing coy with me:

who the hell makes those ticketmaster tweets anyway??? an intern!? I don't believe them

[alvaap24]

I read this today, it was also by "Las Vegas Sun" about Bette Midler's final performance, and at the end they made up what a meeting of the executives, discussing how to fill Bette's space, would be like I thought it was funny

"We imagined a meeting of AEG Live/Concerts West executives back in April, as they round-tabled a plan to replace Elton John. We again envision a top-secret meeting of relevant and suited people swapping ideas to replace Midler ...

Executive I: OK, first, a moment of silence for the late Bette Midler ...

Executive II: She's not dead!

Executive I: No, but her last show started 15 minutes behind schedule!

Executive II: Nice.

Executive I Can I get a rim shot!

Executive III: Didn't Pete Barbutti tell a joke like that once? Cross Pete Barbutti off the list.

Executive I: OK. Seriously, folks. Maybe we should be looking at comics, right? Anyone out there?

Executive II: Jay Leno!

Executive III: Oh, sure. He's got more baggage than Bette's opening number.

Executive I: Right, and if I wanted old material I'd call ...

Executive III: Pete Barbutti?

Executive I: Right. And we've already got Jerry Seinfeld. Who else?

Executive II: Chelsea Lately!

Executive III: That's the name of her show. You mean, Chelsea Handler.

Executive I: Chelsea Effing Handler, actually. Talk about a raunchy act. She makes Bette Midler look like Marie Osmond.

Executive II: Well, hey! What about Donny & Marie!

Executive I: Not bad. Their ticket sales at the Flamingo Showroom have been off the hook.

Executive III: "Off the hook?" Sounds like you're channeling Don Marrandino.

Executive II: Guilty. But we're talking about 3,500 more seats at The Colosseum than the Flamingo. I don't know ...

Executive I: We could work in some sort of a promotion. Every ticket holder also gets a signed Marie Osmond doll.

Executive III: You think Marie Osmond is going to commit to signing several thousand dolls a week?

Executive I: I never said anything about Marie signing the dolls.

Executive II: Then who's signing them? Cher?

(Laughter)

Executive I: OK, put Donny & Marie down. Who else?

Executive III: Celine Dion!

Executive I: Working on it, working on it.

Executive III: The box office staff would form a conga line.

Executive II: It wouldn't be the first time.

Executive I: OK, who else?

Executive II: Mariah Carey, no?

Executive I: We'll see how it goes Feb. 27. A real possibility.

Executive III: Right. But am I the only one concerned with that drunken speech she gave at the People's Choice Awards?

Executive I: Yes.

Executive II: I, for one, love her.

Executive III: But what if she shows up onstage in that condition? Ever think of that?

Executive I:No. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

Executive II: She could do a show drunk, is all. Has that ever happened at Caesars Palace?

Executive I: Let's ask the ghost of Dean Martin.

Executive III: Wow. All right, I'm in. Rack Mariah Carey.

Executive I: Watch how you say that. OK, who else?

Executive III: Celine Dion!

Executive I: She's already on the list!

Executive III: Lest we forget ...

Executive I: OK, who else?

Executive II: Garth Brooks!

Executive I: Oh, that's funny.

Executive II: I told you about Garth Brooks.

Executive III: He did great in those private shows here last year, right?

Executive I: Yes, and if anyone had kicked in with an 11-seat Challenger Jet — new or used — I would have been really happy.

Executive II: Well, 4,000 seats is a lot for just a guy with a guitar.

Executive III: We've got Jerry Seinfeld and he's a guy with no guitar.

Executive I: Point taken, but that horse has left the barn, as it were. Who else?

Executive II: Matt Goss!

Executive I: A Goss-pirational idea! But shouldn't we at least finish renovating Cleopatra's Barge before we put him in the Goss-oleum? I mean, Colosseum?

Executive III: Give him a New Year's Eve show and see what happens.

Executive II: It won't be the Barge, but it'll be sink or swim for Matt Goss!

Executive I: Oooh, that's Gossy-good. Give that to our marketing department.

Executive II: Will do!

Executive I: OK, who else?

Executive III: Celine Dion!

Executive II (adopting a Ricky Ricardo accent): Eeef it's not Celine, we have some 'splainin' to do!

Executive III: Well, we could always call Elton back.

Executive I: Or, Jake Shimabukuro. He's great.

Executive II: He's the Garth Brooks of the ukulele, and he has his own transportation.

Executive I: Amen to that."

[Bralo20]

Still no news

(which is rather strange since I usually get answers within minutes or hours at most)

[Shamrock_1982]

With Celine's profile so extremely high at the moment.... actually the highest its been for a long time.

It would be a wise move to announce/release tickets for the Vegas show ( if its definatley gonna happen later this year/early next year, that is ) sometime over the next two weeks with all this promo going on.... as by then the Haiti single will be out, her appearance on Oprah will have aired and the movie will be in theatres....

edit: I posted this in the wrong topic.... could someone please move it to the return to vegas topic please.... thanks.

Darren.
