[Céline's Blues]

If she sings Ma Chambre or Ton Visage (both written by Ferland) I'll drop dead.

[Love,]

If she sings Ma Chambre or Ton Visage (both written by Ferland) I'll drop dead.

I'll be there to save you...

 

If she sings "On s'est aimé à cause," I'll drop dead, and you'll have to come and save me too, Sebby

[CSCfan]

If she sings On Ne Change Pas I will die & go to heaven.

The stage is so big, and the site is huge! It's a beautiful day in Quebec, so I can't wait for tonight! It's gonna be awesome! I would love to be there, but on LCN they talk about it a lot.

 

I hope everyone who goes will have pics & videos for us this weekend! I really can't wait, this event is so big!

 

I can't wait to see her come on stage at 8:30!

Le grand spectacle que Céline Dion offrira sur les plaines d’Abraham se veut une gigantesque entreprise de logistique, de coordination et de conception.

 

Yves Aucoin est le concepteur de la soirée. Bien qu’il travaille le plus souvent dans l’ombre, il oeuvre depuis 20 ans avec la vedette québécoise, en plus d’avoir prêté son talent à d’autres vedettes internationales, telles que Elton John et Julio Iglesias.

 

Sa principale préoccupation pour le grand événement : faire en sorte que les nombreux artistes qui ont été invités à se joindre à la chanteuse se sentent confortables et qu’ils puissent être au sommet de leur art.

 

Les dizaines de milliers de spectateurs qui assisteront à ce spectacle unique auront droit à un total de 33 chansons, dont près de la moitié seront interprétées en duo ou plus encore.

 

Céline Dion se produira ce soir sur les plaines d'Abraham dans le cadre des festivités du 400e anniversaire de la ville de Québec. Parmi les autres artistes attendus figurent Claude Dubois, Zachary Richard, Éric Lapointe, Garou, Nanette Workman, Marc Dupré, Dan Bigras, Mes Aïeux, La Famille Dion et Jean-Pierre Ferland.

I guess the rumor about Elton John is coming from here. They mentioned Elton John and Julio Iglesias cause Yves Aucoin had worked with them before.

The concert would have 33 songs, Including duets with Claude Dubois, Zachary Richard, Éric Lapointe, Garou, Nanette Workman, Marc Dupré, Dan Bigras, Mes Aïeux, La Famille Dion and Jean-Pierre Ferland.

Celine will sing with each of them?

Celine will sing with each of them?

 

Yes. She will sing about 15 songs alone live and then the rest will be a duets night.

Celine will sing with each of them?

I think yes. Cause seems she rehearsalled at least one song with each of them.

Celine will sing with each of them?

Yes! Gosh you people haven't been following the news, I listened to LCN all day today. Most of you are missing the point here. It's not about promoting her own music, it's not about fancy costume changes, it's about Celine singing with artists she's always wanted to sing with and celebrating Quebec. Yes, she'll sing with each of them. According to Rene, the songs will be surprising. So I don't think she's going to be singing much of what she sings on tour. Apparently, she'll open up with Dans Une Autre Monde, if I remember corectly. But after that... let her surprise us.

You forgot the most important guest: Ginette Reno. Celine said during the press conference yesterday that the very first concert saw was Ginette Reno and it's always been a dream to sing with her. Both Celine and Rene keep insisting that Ginette could've been as big as Celine, if she wanted to.

Do you seriously think Manuel was implying that she should promote her music in quebec where even a "Celine Dion Cook Book" would sell like hot cakes?

The news forgot her name, not me.

So, I'm watching LCN and every few minutes they have an update on the concert. They showed the huge crowd. The musician were rehearsing and it was really rocking! I mean it was really rock! God I wish I was there. I'm all excited and I'm a million miles away. I know I'm not going to sleep tonight, I'll be waiting for reports from the show Ca n'a pas de bon sens, like Celine would say

They say some fans came to the concert's place since yesterday morning, they slept there, so that they can be as close to the stage as possible.

[Davey84]

I'd buy a celine dion cook book!

 

33 songs?? We really need to have this concert capped!!

A cook book would be fun... Make it a DVD: Celine cooking her fabourite dishes. I would buy that

[Koolan]

The concert will last 2 hours and 30 minutes according to Bev.

[Costa Santos]

I'm getting excited...

[binsk]

it says soundcheck video and it looks like it, but theres not really a sound

[LVCeline]

If this turns into one of those freaking French variety shows where Celine sings one line of a song as a "duet" the entire time I'm going to be sorely disappointed! I'm getting really excited to see the tracklist though! I want some serious alone time with Celine! I don't like guest stars!

[maceta_biloxi]

No chorist.. This idea was rejected by Rene last year.

 

Rene said will be the peak of his career!!! She sing in front of 100 000 people at Stade de France but never in front of 200 000. Will also be his only all french concert!

And he said he have a very BIG surprise..The article say maybe Jean-Jacques Goldman or Johnny Holliday! I expect Charles Aznavour! And Rene said she will sing the song people want to hear!!

 

I think this show will be better than TC World Tour

 

Maybe the big surprise is My Heart Will Go On in french!!!!!

 

 

that is just amazing!!!!

 

I think she'll also do Tout Près Du Bonheur and Si Dieux Existe, cos Dupré and Dubois will be there... and i hope she'll sing Ton Visage again, cos JP Ferland was also mentioned!!

 

I hope she doesn't sing Si Dieux Existe, i saw that performance at the ST Justine concert and it has horrible, maybe if she sing it with another singer would be ok but not with this Dubois guy.

[Teodora]

My God! It's Celine mania over there. They're showing everything live on LCN. People started running and police was overhelmed. There was a lot pushing, I'd be surprised if no one got injured. It's really very very very crazy! People just went nuts!

It's funny for me when they say it's a hot day.... 25 C That's what they call hot in Quebec? We had 38 C today in Bucharest...

It's totally crazy.

They must release this on DVD. They just have to! It's the biggest concert in her French career so far, that's for sure.

There were rumours that Elton John would sing there: NOT TRUE. Mario Lefebre said it's not true. The big surprise is a song with Celine, Jean Pierre Ferland and Ginette Reno.
