Summertime - LIVE on Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon 2006

[ZoraSourit]

OMG! This is great! Can't wait to listen to it! She looks superb.

[Céline's Blues]

seb , u r probably under a SCF attack . u r exaggerating everything big time - celine gave a good performance but it's not something new in matters of the music world , jazz is not something new - norah jones sold more than 10 million copies from her debut album , michael buble is doing jazz , not to mention christina's new no 1 album....

while i agree that celine is singing much better than any of them , she is not doing anything "unimaginable" in terms of a new music style - she is NOT pink floyd or the beatles , she is a great vocalist - some would say the greatest but common she is not gonna change the face of music .

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You didn't get my point, gogo. I mean that certain fans do not recognize Céline as being talented enough to sing things like that. Unimaginable I used in the domain of Céline's fans, not music in general. She has much to offer for her fans, not for the music in general which I frankly said don't give a damn about since it's garbage these days. She's marked the music history already and now it's time to evolve which she is apparently doing.

[Adeline]

yes, i raise my hand!

 

Thanks, for the mp3, photos and VCD version

u right - this days the music industry is pure trash but i talked about pink floyd and the beatles

also , i dont think it's about recognizing her ability to sing whatever she wants to , i think some of the fans just love her when she sings those great big ballads like she used to. i know that she can sing jazz and even opera if she really wants to but i just love her voice the best when she sings those powerful ballads - it's a matter of taste .

Yet only one such marvellous performance suffices and everyone is raving about how much they want a jazz album. And a jazz album she shall deliver! Céline, the robot, sunk along with the Titanic, gogo. Accept the facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think he means you need to accept the fact of Celine won't sing ABM live again in the near future.

BUT if you would see tha fact you'd stop complaining about the notes. LOL And I didn't mean you included btw. As a matter of course.

I agree with you... of course we know the facts very well, but to dream is free...

[nature boy]

Just stunning! She looked amazing and the song and vocal performance were superb!

 

Why oh why does Mariah get championed as "the voice" when Celine can still belt out a tune like that??

 

It got very syrupy at the end when they were talking, but who cares with a vocal performance like that.

the only ones who still say that mariah can sing r the "lambs" - even they know the truth deep inside : i dont know what exactly happened to her but mariah cant hit a note right and she sounds like a puppy .

you should all try to forget Mariah...

 

Speaking about her is giving her a value she has not.

[smw]

Let's face it. Mariah deserves recognition for her vocals from back in the day. However, she is getting all of this attention now for a not-so-great album...and she's not able to sing like she once did! I mean, she's never been great live, but now it's just really bad.

 

Anyway, I do think Mariah deserves to be remembered, but not for what she's doing now. But it does get on my nerves that she usually ranks higher than Celine on great singers charts. I mean, Celine has the range and power STILL!

[albertanna]

I don't like the song so much - but her voice ist great as always!

What the hell!!! What MC is making in that topic! That sucks! I'm here to talk about Celine! I don't even want to know what is happing with Mariah! I think that Divas Live shows who is the best live... And I'm not talking only about you post. But come on! That sucks! Leave Mariah alone people! We're here to talk about Celine's amazing performance...

There was a show on UK TV last weekend and OK it was total crap, but Mariah was featured and they kept on about how great her voice is. Same deal with Whitney. It annoyed me because Celine wasn't featured. She may not be the coolest, but her voice is still as good.

Thanks to an all-star talent list headed by Celine Dion and a quarter of a million dedicated volunteers across the country, the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon set a record in contribuiotons and pledges.

 

As MDA's 41st Telethon ended at 6 p.m. Monday, the tote board showed an all-time high of $61,013,855 for the voluntary health organization's programs of resarch and services to benefit people with neuromuscular diseases.

Is this a Mariah forum or a Céline forum? Why is Mariah all the time.

You don't like her then do like the smart ones do: IGNORE HER.

I try to ignore her but she is so popular here...

[celine the power of my dream]

I have to say this is in one word FANTASTIC

 

I feel every word and every note Céline you're amazing!!!

[tativale]

Celine is AMAZING!!!!! And that's i. OVEr lol

[kdw123]

I love Celine singing this song and I love the "Big Band" look and sound when she sings. This song has been stuck in my head since Sunday night when she sang it - and that's a good thing!

[hoylse]

Celine Is Beautiful~~!!

[luvnceline5]

when i went to the celine dion concert last year.. it happen to be the same day they did the telethon from her show and she sang a new day.. it was so funny.. because when she first started talking to the camera she was standing backwards.. and then she started laughing.. because she finally realized it... but the funniest part.. was that.. i was in row 8 center orchestra and i was sitting by this really nice older lady who had went by herself.. and then there was a couple next to him where the guy was drunk.. and when celine introduced jerry lewis the drunk guy stood up and yelled, "I love celine, she is the best!!!"" really loud.. and everyone was just looking at him like "what an idiot" i felt so bad for the older lady next to me.. she turned to me and said "get me away from him!!!!" and then there was this old old lady in from of us.. and she was sooo mean.. she was like really stuck up and rich... and was mean.. and she kept turing around at me and saying.. "excuse me you are kicking my chair.. stop it!!" and i never kicked it.. i was like "stop ruining to show.. " and the lady next to me couldn't believe it.. the lady was so rude to all of us the whole show... other then all that.. it was sooo much fun.. everyone was way excited to be on TV!!! and her hair looked amazing that night... straight with the little curl at the end.. i loved it like that sooo much!!

YOU NEED TO GIVE MATHIAS ( CSCFAN ) CREDIT FOR GETTING THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS... NOW!!!

 

I DEMAND IT!

 

Please show some courtesy.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ditto!! They could thank other people but NEVER mentioned this forum as source or thanked any member from here before.

 

Guess what I found when I went to their site??!!! a mp3 of Summertime in their Rare Songs Section II, he writes [Thanks a lot Loren] Who is this mysterious person? Some name I don't ever remember seeing on their news section.

 

So, I was curious and decided to download it to check the song's quality. hey, what do you know??!! my ears couldn't tell the difference between the 2 mp3s To further examine this, I then proceeded to load both files into a sound editing program to check the sound waves. Both waves look very identical!! At this point, i was convinced this file was a reencode of our original. Not only did he reencode it to 128kbit/s, he cut off 1 second at the end. Slick, but not slick enough!! The beginning starts off at the same exact time, while the audience was clapping. To further prove this, the volume level is exactly the same Bellamy increased the volume on the mp3 since it was a little low. Now, it isn't a coincidence that both are the same volume. If you're going to do this, at least take some time and do a better job of editing the mp3.

 

Here is an attached screencap from the comparison of the 2 sound waves:

 

 

it's really obvious from looking at that.

 

They really have something against mentioning other Celine sites as a source or thanking them on their news section. I don't remember they ever mention any Celine fan site in their news. I'd advise anyone working for them to reevaluate their decision on whether to continue. I don't want to make this sound like we're not williing to share with other sites but it'd be nice to ask us first. Thanking a nonexistent person is really lame.

 

I really wonder who their "exclusive source" gave them the news about Celine performing during the first 15 minutes of the telethon.

They did do some edit. Cut off one sec in the end, and re-encoded it into 128kbps, that's why the audio graphic looks a bit different. But the audio is still quite identical, and 99% the same.

 

We had the news even the song name from Miroslava. Is he their "exclusive source"? But why he didn't tell them the song name?

i just saw her performance of "summertime" from 1988 - no doubt she had a much more powerful voice back then and each note came so easily but OMG she looked like a vampire and obviously now she controls her voice much better and the production is much much better .

 

i cant stop watching this current performance of "summertime" , i just love her movements around 4:37 - such a diva , her confident is amazing , her movements there fit the music , she feels each and every bit .

also something that i noticed - in the beginning there was a delay because of the standing ovation - celine and the band were ready to start the performance and the band even gave her a sign to start by playing few notes on the piano...however celine thanked the people and took a deep breath - it seemed like she is a bit nervous but then she started singing and the rest is history.
