Celine should probably consider removing ABM from the setlist permanently. I mean it's very obvious from her rather uninspired and lazy performances of the song that she no longer enjoys singing it. So why bother, right? The show can stand without it anyway.

It's been stellar since opening night...

Yup.  I would be disappointed if she removed ABM.  I enjoy her performances of it.

[celinemaniac07]

To say that her new performances of ABM are lazy and are uninspired performances is simply not true. I always say everyone is entitled to their own opinion and while I still feel this is true..I was there in person on opening night and that performance of ABM was one of the best if not the best I have heard in many many years. You can hear her emotion and rawness in the lyrics as she sings them. She changes the way some lyrics are sung...in a way she never has before. Adding even more emotion than on any other version I have heard her do before. Its different now and it sounds different...she has new meaning in her own life with how she is singing currently and that includes ABM. Celine is singing better now than I have ever heard her before and that includes when I first started listening to her.

[Niko's]

Here is my how I would adapt the setlist of the show, now, If I were her team / musical director :

- I Drove All Night (Video Introduction)
- I Surrender
- Where Does My Heart Beat Now
- Because You Loved Me (FULL VERSION)
- It's All Coming Back To Me Now / The Power Of Love

- Jazz Interlude
- You'll Have To Swing It
- Quand ça balance
- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
- Falling Into You
- Beauty And The Beast

- Soul Interlude
- Immortality
- Water And A Flame
- Didn't Know Love
- Taking Chances / That's The Way It Is / If You Asked Me To
- Somebody Loves Somebody
- Unison (FULL SONG by Celine)

- Funk Interlude
- Kiss / Purple Rain
- Think Twice
- The Show Must Go On

- My Heart Will Go On
- Over The Rainbow

I also think she is a bit bored of singing ABM. It was clear to me the new songs gave her life... Immortality, TFTEISYF and Over The Rainbow were outstanding.

After hearing it I think the only song that really didn't work  (imo) was Incredible. So that would be the first change I'd make lol

[Shamrock_1982]

Yeah incredible sticks out like a sore thumb and I think it's down to barnev.

Also hope the remove barnevs solo and have all three singers do something amazing like they did at Canada in 2013 during a costume change!

I totally forgot about think twice, but without sounding funny it was really only appreciated in the UK/Ireland so may not be a hit in the show, but all by myself could be removed also.

I think we may see tylam before this shows ends

I still want TT to be part of the show though! Lol maybe just part of it during an interlude. I'd be happy with that!
I actually haven't heard the latest Barnev interlude so can't judge it just yet lol
Yep there's others I'd change or move about but Incredible really didn't seem to work.

[Shamrock_1982]

I've let Aldo know that "some fans" would love "tylam" so fingers crossed!

Erm NO

Following the success in the UK, the song also reached number 1 in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands (Gold 50.000), Norway and Sweden and got to the number 2 position in Australia (Platinum 70.000).

https://m.facebook.c...135854449845639

It was a huge hit all across Europe and I am sure a fan favourite worldwide! IMO it would be a welcoming change from TPOL

[Shamrock_1982]

My bad davey, I didn't know that lol.

Did she sing it on the last tour in other parts of Europe?

Like some fans never want lcmm to leave the show, I never want tpol to

[Davey84]

Tsk tsk better like our Facebook page then

No unfortunately she didn't, we got TP instead... When we were waiting in Arras, the backup singers did a part of TT to warm up. That's all the TT I got

But here in Holland TT would be much more known than TPOL.

[Shamrock_1982]

Cool

I don't have fb just Twitter

I know my name on the forum isn't ANDHC... But ANDHC is still my favorite song, in English, of hers! I think the interludes are okay ... I appreciate that Scott tried to make it modern... But they don't match the elegance of the show! I love all of your ideas though

Yeah, it's taken But so nice to hear that you like it too. It's been my favourite and this new performance just proves that it won't change I'm afraid though that we'll wait for a full version of it ages... and ages to come!


As for the interludes, they are just boring and don't go with Celine's catalogue. I mean, I don't want to have ANDHC as every interlude hehe but look at Une seule fois/Bercy concerts, how creative they were to create so unexpected and extraordinary interludes as Je crois toi   or Je sais pas ? She still sings those songs (the latter even in full) and yet they are then developed until she comes back. This just proves that they CAN do something really good if they want to. Even during A new day... we had IDAN, AA, LCMM as interludes and it worked so well. "Celine" premiered with those interludes that have nothing to do with Celine and this second version of the show only repeats the scheme. That's just a shame.

bring Think Twice in the show instead of incredible. And if incredible stays, - the cdsound must be in it, not these dull drums and too loud backgroundsingers. It just does not have that impact the song has on the studio recording

Yes, I wanted to include TT in my improved setlist in my now "popular" post but I resigned as thought it wasn't that popular in the US. But still they could do it Who says no? They should really believe more in her original material.

With Incredible they're missing something as I said earlier. Just as you pointed out background singers sing too much and somehow the song isn't as uptempo as it was recorded, the rhythm is slower...

I've found one with the medley   Although the person played too much with zooming in and out here

I agree with you. Yes, it's sung very well technically and it's the highlight of the night as some of you say but it's because people expect it to be the highlight and because it's a difficult song. But to me it's just without a soul. I don't know, if they wanted to keep it, they could have changed the arrangements or integrate it in some medley? Now it's just as boring as RDMH.

Darren! You should have said that all of us want it! but still it's great that you could let him know of anything.  Let us know if he responds Next time you should also write that we would love to hear MORE of her original catalogue. Not only TPOL or BYLM but also other songs from the 90s as well as songs from 00s in FULL hehe:P

[celine4evauk]

Or put TPOL into the acoustic section. Sing the Lost Is How I'm Feeling bit first chorus then into TTWII etc. Quite like the idea of the medley being a bit like Starmania, slower song,uptempo song,slower song,uptempo song - but,whereas Starmania had the band,keep it acoustic. So it would be TPOL,TTWII,ANDHC,IA. It would also get rid of the dreaded TPOL/IACBTMN medley. 😁

still? really? that means that the doors are open awesome! I wish we would get some more uptempo and "happy" songs. The acoustic medley shows that this setlist needs them. If only the medley wasn't so short but I wouldn't mind if other uptempo songs are added

Actually, now when I think of it, I'd put all the classics in the an acoustic medley BYLM/ABM/TPOL etc and include full versions of TTWII, ANDHC and IA haha

Yes exactly! As "Shamrock" said (I think it was him) Rainbow is gorgeous but a bit depressing for a closer.
