Overview

Celine Dion’s Sold Out Taking Chances World Tour, which took place between February 2008 and February 2009, played concerts on 5-continent, in 25-country, 93-city – Celine’s first in nine years - and sold over three million tickets. The Taking Chances World Tour was the second highest grossing tour of the year. She was the highest grossing touring artist of the decade.

 

Join Celine in this behind-the-scenes, beyond-the-music documentary as she puts on show-stopping performances of some of her biggest hits as well as some of her favorite songs never before recorded. However, this world tour is different as Celine is traveling with her husband, her 7-year-old son, her mother, and her extended family. Intercutting concert performances with behind the scenes footage, fans will get the chance to really know Celine, her family, and her co-performers as well as those fans that she meets and performs for around the world. Inspirational, moving, honest and surprisingly funny, Celine: Through the Eyes of the World captures Celine’s balance between the demands of an elaborate and extensive year-long worldwide tour and her top priority – caring for and enjoying time with her family.

 

Celine: Through the Eyes of the World offers a unique perspective on Celine, her life, and her inspiring dedication to creating a stage experience like no other – another chance to experience the magical event, this time from a vantage point unparalleled by any ticket.

 

Celine comments, "This was an amazing world tour, but there's a lot more than just concert footage on this DVD. I let the cameras follow me everywhere. There are a lot of ups and downs, and it's very personal...and it's definitely the most intimate journey that I've ever shared with my fans."

 

Having sold more than 200 million albums around the world, Celine Dion is one of the most immediately recognized, widely respected and successful performers in pop music history.

 

Go Beyond the Music…with Celine!

 

PRESS QUOTES

 

“whether frolicking with admirers in Johannesburg or accepting France’s Legion of Honor metal in Paris, wowing throngs or greeting a sick child backstage, she (Celine) emerges as a paragon of greatness and goodness.” ”- USA Today (3 out 4 stars)

 

“you have to admit Dion is the James Brown of her generation—the hardest working woman in show business”- Globe and Mail

 

“Rather than capturing a restless star pushing at her own boundaries, "Through the Eyes of the World" finds Dion sitting pretty, on top of the world and happy to stay there”- Los Angeles Times

 

"Celine Dion's new movie, 'Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World' does more than highlight her performances during her last world tour, it also allows fans rare glimpses of her offstage life. The documentary shows Dion as a goofy jokester, a doting mother, a tender wife, a wide-eyed tourist, a devoted daughter and more. The cameras tag along for intimate moments the superstar is happy to share with fans." – MSNBC

 

“The film succeeds because it lets us in on Celine the person as much as Celine the performer”- Boston Herald (A-)

 

“If you like Dion, the singer, then you will love Celine: Through the Eyes of the World. …you can't help but be impressed by this fascinating portrait of a superstar trying very hard to keep her feet on earth while her career keeps soaring ever upward”- Toronto Star (3.5 out 4 stars)

 

"It shows Celine as being human, and perfectly depicts the bond between her and Angelil. It connects the public with Dion’s words, successes, career heights and her superstardom”- Toronto Sun (3.5 out of 5 stars)

 

“Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World, does more than highlight her performances during her last world tour; it also allows fans rare glimpses of her offstage life”-Buffalo News

There's a good chance they will tweak some stuff as it's pushed back another week, so keep in mind things can still change (just like the release date of the Concert DVD has).

[Scramasboy]

is Extreme Home Make Over the one that helps the families in need? WOOHOO! Hope that all comes into fruition![sp?] lol

[No1IrishFan]

Has the release date changed? What is the date now?

[Alex_Incognito]

I don't understand the DVD track listing of "Through The Eyes Of The World". Will it include the full concert itself? Hopefully footage from other countries.

[riobeard11]

Just in case...

SPOILER! --Click here to view-- | --Cliquez ici pour voir--

Isn't that just the order of the songs they showed in the movie?

[celinefanonline]

also if u see the dvd/cd one i dont' think the length of dvd and cd would be the same..

 

but love the tracklist for the cd

[Peppercorn1991]

Looking at this it is great

no mention of a french concert tho

kev

[Alex_Incognito]

I don't understand why "The show must go on" didn't make it. But we've got "The Power of Love".

[QueenCeline]

I don't understand why "The show must go on" didn't make it. But we've got "The Power of Love".

 

I was wondering the same thing. Do they even think when they make this stuff

[manolo19]

I cant wait to see the fashionista video Edited March 10, 2010 at 01:56 AM by manolo19

[celinesounds]

thanks for the updates

[celinefanonline]

for me i would cut The prayer and add the show must go on in the cd!

[CelineLover4Life]

Thanks for this great news!

[dumpling]

thank you for sharing all these fantastic info.

i cant wait, just cant wait!!

i hope there is a doctor who can prescribe me a pill that puts me asleep straight to April 27th.

[davidjag79]

Oh dear I'm going to be broke and poor and ridiculously happy.

Oh Holy Dion!!! April 27th can not get here soon enough!! Finally a release date! GAHHHH I am sooooo thrilled!!

 

 

Oh Celine.... How I love the.... Let me count the ways!!

[aicee]

what?! i thoght THROUGH THE EYES OF THE WORLD & tc world tour was the same.lol,

[MrTim212]

I'm confused... I thought Darren said that the press release was being pushed back until 3/17, and now celinedion.nl is releasing this press release...

 

Also, I'd be shocked if "The Show Must Go On" didn't make it to the CD at least in a live version, if not as a studio version.

[Alex_Incognito]

En plus, 19 tracks on a live CD! They've never been that giving! I'm sure the US will get a 6-track version, just like our version of ML had the least amount of tracks per disk!

[nrcda88]

Thanks for the press release ...now I really can't wait for April 27th!

 

Oh dear I'm going to be broke and poor and ridiculously happy.

 

lol You're not the only one!

[Koolan]

I hope the Blu-ray won't have any songs cut. What happened to the bonus stuff?

[Belle Céline]

If they both come out on the same day I'm not sure what one I will get first...I won't be able to get both at the sametime. I think I want TTEOTW first....IDK. Edited March 10, 2010 at 05:36 AM by Belle Céline

[Bellamy]

No Blu-Ray for the concert DVD?

[Koolan]

Maybe it wiill be released a month after the DVD, like with A New Day...??

[ThisTime]

I don't understand why "The show must go on" didn't make it. But we've got "The Power of Love".

 

I was wondering the same thing. Do they even think when they make this stuff

was that a rhetorical question, cause I'm sure we'd all say no, they never do.

[ThisTime]

what?! i thoght THROUGH THE EYES OF THE WORLD & tc world tour was the same.lol,

TTEOTW is the documentary about all her family adventures and the behind the scenes-y stuff, whilst the tc tour.. is well.. the tour.

[SuperLove4Celine]

also if u see the dvd/cd one i dont' think the length of dvd and cd would be the same..

 

but love the tracklist for the cd

 

I am so irked that "The Show Must Go On" and the remix of "I'm Alive" were excluded from the CD! Those were the two tracks I was looking forward to the most!

[Chabby]

This is not the official press release, it wasn't distributed yet. There will be much more than that.

 

I think the reason for not using 'The Show Must Go On' on the CD is the same why 'River Deep' was not used on LAP DVD. Probably they were not allowed to use it... So think before you say they are stupid... There's a lot of thing copyright owners can restrict if they want to.
