Céline's Blues Posted September 12, 2006 at 05:32 PM Posted September 12, 2006 at 05:32 PM I'm afraid not, gogo. We would have known it by now. The special has to be recorded first and it will happen very soon I assume, it ain't gonna be live anyway. If at all Céline will appear from her dressing room in Caesar's.

If at all Céline will appear from her dressing room in Caesar's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> but the fact that it's recorded means that chances r even higher that she'll be there live . i didnt check whether she has a performance that night but as u said it's probably recorded so why not?!?

Céline's Blues Posted September 12, 2006 at 05:47 PM Posted September 12, 2006 at 05:47 PM I wish... but they would definitely highlight her name IF she was there.

catwomanrrr Posted September 12, 2006 at 05:52 PM Posted September 12, 2006 at 05:52 PM (edited) November 21st is not a show night for Celine, but this is a pre-taped television special, so we don't know about Celine's schedule. And I totally agree... if Celine were to be there, she'd be in the headline. Edited September 12, 2006 at 05:52 PM by Joy Quote http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n28/rhymereason/dreambig.jpg

thevoice Posted September 12, 2006 at 06:14 PM Author Posted September 12, 2006 at 06:14 PM if Celine were to be there, she'd be in the headline.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> many times in this kind of events they add the name of the artists as the day approach , u have to remmember that celine was not part of the original planes for this album and was added only recently so maybe they didnt call her yet . maybe we should ask celinedion.com about it . if they notice that alot of fans want her there maybe they'll do something about it? (yeahh right lol!) . Quote
