Teodora Posted March 21, 2007 at 02:59 PM Posted March 21, 2007 at 02:59 PM First of all, if a topic already exists, admins please delete this .Since I saw "O" in Las Vegas in November I just became nuts about Cirque du Soleil. I knew about it for a long time, I had seen some clips on TV before. I just think these people are pure genius! From their website to their shows! Not to mention the music! I totally adore it, I listen to it all the time. I managed to find all their albums, besides those of the last three shows, Ka, Love and Zumanity. I do however have one song from Zumanity called Water Bowl. Amazing lyrics (for adults only ). I couldn't really describe the music, it's in so many languages, English, French, Italian, Spanish.... and some I don't understand. And so many influences: rock, pop, tango, jazz etc etc. I've also seen some of their other shows, on my PC (I think they were released on DVD or recorded from TV). I saw Quidam, Saltimbanco and La Nouba, which are amazing! I cannot wait for December, I'll go see Ka and Mystere in Vegas. Anyway... I just wanted to know if there are any other fans around here .

Mozinha Posted March 21, 2007 at 06:32 PM Posted March 21, 2007 at 06:32 PM I've never seen them in person. I spent 5 days in Vegas and didn't see them. Can you believe this? I had to choose between a Celine Boutique Shoping Spree or Cirque and Celine won. Anyways, I had heard of them for a long time and had seen little about them on TV but always thought they were fascinating. I watched most of their shows on TV: Quidam, Alegria, Dralion, Varekai and Saltimbanco. I've also watched videos of O, Zummanity and KA. My favourite so far is Quidam. I love the whole story they tell, I can really see myself in that kid. Little Zoe's voice is magical. When she sings Atmadja it gives me goosebumps. All the songs are so beautiful. The whole show feels like a dream. I can't real explain it. It's so surreal. I also like Varekai, especially The Flight of Icarus. Wow. Brilliant. If I went to Vegas again I would definately watch Zummanity. When I was there this was the one that got me more interested. I know it's an adult thing, very risque but I think they handled it perfectly well. I watched 3 videos on youtube and I thought it was really fascinanting.

Cheerfuljane Posted March 21, 2007 at 08:40 PM Posted March 21, 2007 at 08:40 PM I love them I saw Quidam in Tokyo a few years ago and got hookedI saw "O" in Las Vegas in January.Un-freakin-believable !! Quote

celinerific Posted March 21, 2007 at 10:08 PM Posted March 21, 2007 at 10:08 PM I love Cirque Du Soleil. I've never seen them live, but I've seen it on TV and in these videos that my teachers used to make us watch. They're really amazing. But I enjoy Cirque Du Celine better.

celinefanonline Posted March 22, 2007 at 08:51 AM Posted March 22, 2007 at 08:51 AM yeah i like CDS..i have many dvds Dralion, Quidam, varekai, alegria, Nouba and Midnight Suni also saw O in LV in dec 2003... after saw celine few days after...maybe because i saw Celine first or i expect too high, i got some disappointment of the show...there's a part (i think it's chines) do body fold or something, i don't think it fit the show that well though.... others r amazing...but celine's show is like WOW.........speechless Quote Courage don't you dare fail me now!
Teodora Posted March 22, 2007 at 10:12 AM Author Posted March 22, 2007 at 10:12 AM I'm totally crazy about cirque du soleil.

I think he's not working with Cirque anymore and he's doing his own thing... Anyway, I saw Le Reve too and it's so amazing! I see some of you compare it with Celine's show. Of course we like Celine's best, because Celine is in it. She could be up there just singing with nothing else going on around her and it would still be our favourite . But we have to admit, Cirque du Soleil shows and Le Reve are way, way, waaaaay more spectacular than Celine's. Of course, you couldn't do that with Celine's show, because it has to be a concert. I can't imagine her singing while jumping from a trapeze into a huge pool! Hmmmmm, that would a cool thing to watch actually... I think I'm going to spend a lot of money buying their DVDs and CDs in December when I go to Vegas again I would love to see Zumanity too, but I think it's the kind of thing one would want to watch with one's girlfriend/boyfriend. And I don't have a boyfriend at the moment and I'm going to Vegas with one of my best friends, which is a girl. So.... Eh, maybe next time Quote
celinefanonline Posted March 22, 2007 at 10:47 AM Posted March 22, 2007 at 10:47 AM well my aunt and family saw the shows with me too, first celine's then O show...and all of them think that celine's one is better, of course CDS's show it's bigger and more spectacular, but we get disappointment, maybe too high expectations...

And I saw it and it was beyond any expectations I had. Celine was right, I would never look at a show the same way. It kindda killed all other non-Celine shows for me to be honest Cause now I want everything to be as impressive as Celine and Cirque du Soleil. But I guess it's a matter of taste. I actually read a review about Celine's show on one of those Vegas sites, and someone, who liked Celine, said she hated the show because the coreography on Seduces Me, that she was disguested Celine did such a sexy scene bla bla....I was like... So, really, it's all a matter of taste. No Cirque du Soleil show I've seen so far has dissapointed me in any way. My jaw was literally dropped during the entire "O" show Of course, with Celine's show, I had second and forth row seats in orch 4, so I was entirely concentrated on Celine, I didn't notice anything else. It was my first time seeing Celine, I didn't want to miss a fragment of a second of her when she was on stage.... Quote
ZoraSourit Posted March 22, 2007 at 10:35 PM Posted March 22, 2007 at 10:35 PM I only saw Saltimbanco live in Sao Paulo. It was pretty fantastic. I'm looking forward to see some more shows live. I've seen a few of them over the TV and I watched "The Dream Within". It was cool to see the show from an inside perspective.
