Why is the need of this irritating TAG "CELINE DION FORUM.COM"???

 

I've already seen beside... that was our forum release.

It seems that you guys like to throw at our face the fact we see through this site.

I find this so annoying.

 

Also, every video that come outta here has a big water mark of this forum;

this is so not right, too. These videos are property of their networks and they could

take measures against that.

 

Perhaps, a big splash on her face would be nice uh. CELINEDIONFORUM, all over her face.

You are right. We add that to every video shared here. you should have known all along. If you have a problem with it, you can choose not to download from here. Actually, I can help you not to download videos including this show with our watermark. And seems you always can find something to complain.

 

Oh, cheer up Bellamy

I'm used to the splashes on the hd/dvd videos -- as you said, it has been years and years.

I just find funny the tags on the Ytube ones now

Don't take measures against me

Hebert would be pleased

 

Yes, I like to bring things to complain up, as some people likes to bring

things to... not do the same. Is the right of everyone to say what they may, I think.

 

I just talked about an overdue of exposition of the forum tag on the Ytube videos.

Don't need to be this angry with me

[A New Day Has Come]

Thanks for the videos.

[Krys]

the tags are there because the members of this forum took the time to record the videos and share it with others. it is also there so that thieves dont claim it as their own. simple as that

[CSCfan]

Wow....looking good! Thanks for the reports & vids people!

 

Can anyone confirm she indeed sang "On Ne Change Pas"??

and could u tell us the songlist ?

[Amanja]

At the beginning there was an introduction like the one in the world tour with videos with Celine from all the countries she's been to

 

Heres all the songs I remember. Many of the duets I never heard of so I don't know the names

 

Dans un autre monde

Destin

Sous le vent (with Garou)

Tout Pres Du Bonheur (with Marc Dupre)

J'irai ou tu iras

On ne change pas

S'il n'en retait qu'une

L'amour existe encore (with some guy)

S'il suffisait d'aimer

Pour que tu m'aimes encore

[Koolan]

Disappointed with the tracklist, she's sung the same songs many times. How many did she sing in total?

[Amanja]

I recorded it so I'll have to go through it again for more details

[rodrigo_alka]

mmmmm

 

that list is so sad....

[Bellamy]

Disappointed with the tracklist, she's sung the same songs many times. How many did she sing in total?

Many duets she had never sang before. So duets are not bad.

[Amanja]

I guess the audience wouldnt mind hearing anything Celine sings especially all her classics at a free concert

[Loup_garou]

Just found some pics @ Yahoo News

 

Celine Pics

 

 

It says that Celine perfomed performed with Zachary Richard, Eric Lapointe, Nanette Workman, Garou, Dan Bigras and Gianette Reno

Celine Dion wishes Quebec City a happy 400th birthday at concert

 

1 hour ago

 

QUEBEC — Celine Dion rocked the cradle of French Quebec Friday night, shaking the Plains of Abraham with resounding music and illuminating the night sky with a brilliant light show.

 

Dion was visibly moved and happy to be back in the provincial capital among her Quebec "family" after a nine-year absence.

 

"Happy Birthday, Quebec! Are you ready?" Dion shouted before swinging into the first song of the evening to get the concert marking Quebec City's 400th birthday off to a rocking start.

 

From the outset, Dion noted that the French-speaking Quebecois nation was born "here, where we are, 400 years ago."

 

She said although the show was free, she wanted to make it unforgettable.

 

She kicked off the show 20 minutes late with one of her French-language hits, but didn't waste any time once she hit the stage, marching around and pumping the air with her fist as she sang.

 

Dion's concert featured a galaxy of Quebec stars including Garou, rocker Eric Lapointe, Claude Dubois and Dan Bigras. One of the hits of the night was an electrifying duet of "Lady Marmalade" with Nanette Workman.

 

Another pinacle was a duet at the end of the show with beloved Quebec songstress Ginette Reno. It was the first time Reno and Dion had sung together and Dion said it was a dream come true for her.

 

Dion also joined with members of her family to sing a medley of songs, telling the audience, "I want you to know what it was like to be in my family." She dedicated the songs to her late father.

 

Dion did a total of 30 songs - all in French - that ranged from solos to duets to trios with her guests and spanned rock, pop, blues, several "power" ballads and lots of traditional Quebec songs.

 

The free show is part of year-long birthday celebrations being held to mark the 400th anniversary of the provincial capital.

 

The crowd for the show was estimated at around 250,000 and nothing was left to chance for people to get a good look. Seven giant screens were placed around the site and six others were erected on Quebec City's south shore near Levis.

 

One Dion fan drove for 10 hours from Long Island, NY, to Quebec City to see the superstar.

 

"I think that she's got an incredible voice," said Lois Morales.

 

"She loves her family, that's very important to me, and she's a very good humanitarian. I just think that she's very balanced since she had her son. I think that in all aspects of her life she's been very grateful for the gift that she has and she shares with other people. I just think that's great."

 

Diana Farnham, of Weld, Me., got the trip to Quebec City to see Dion as a birthday gift from her husband.

 

"My birthday was in June so he booked this trip because he knew Celine was going to be here," she said. "She has such a beautiful voice. It's just so peaceful. It seems to be so natural."

 

The accolades were echoed by Al Penner of Smithville, Ont.

 

"She is the best female singer in the world," he said.

 

"When she opened up the Olympics in Atlanta, I believe it was in 1996, that's what the co-ordinator said - 'We have the best female singer in the world.' She is the best. No question."

 

Among those in the crowd were Premier Jean Charest and Opposition Leader Mario Dumont.

 

A number of fans had been awaiting since midnight to be the first in line to get the closest to the stage for the Friday show.

 

The gates allowing access to the site opened around mid-afternoon.

 

Officials had originally expected 200,000 fans for the show.

 

They said the crowd could be as large as the one on hand for a Paul McCartney concert several weeks ago, which was also held on the Plains of Abraham.

 

The concert is a break for Dion from her multi-night run in Montreal, where she is headlining in her worldwide "Taking Chances" tour.

 

The tour marks Dion's return to the road after a five-year gig in Las Vegas.

If that's how it sounds in Lo-fi I can't imagine how it would be either live or in HD.....I'm so thrilled about this concert....Dieu avec Dubois just , I don't know why but it has been in the couple last weeks that I've found love towards this song :wub:

[Frozen_Phoenix]

Wow, she had to sing with REALLY old people ^^°.

I wonder how much time she spend rehearsing that stuff.

Anyway the Quebec this was the last event during which I hoped she would perform some stuff from D'elles and 1 fille et 4 types.

We'll never hear Je lui dirai or Immensité live -.-

[celine_rox]

what the heck

was she wearing a blck jumpsuit

[Nikosn17]

thanks for all the videos. It looks/sounds great. I'm glad she didn't wear the TC tour costumes. The tracklist would have been better.

[SlovakClark]

I dont hnow why while Celine is singing with another good singer must have so weak voice

 

lol and i read somewhere that it wasnt about who know to sing louder, No it really wasnt about it, because i hear only Ginette

[anewdayhascome]

i knew it:( I knew that if so many duets are rumoured she will not sing many songs:(:(

I'm really dissapointed with her own tracklist

it'll be awesome to hear all of those duets.... but where is JLD, TLDH, JSP, JNVOP.....

For me they don't need to release a dvd because the songs are almost exactly the same as the French setlist during tour (apart from ONCP)...

I have to say one thing it wasn't Celine concert... It was just various concert where Celine performed alone about 6 songs....

I'm happy she did it but I hoped for songs she never performed live but songs from HER albums

[dj4celine]

Sigh! Still no OSAAC

 

But anyway, thanks for all the links and videos

 

DUAM was fantastic!!

[Thomas]

She looked and sounded great! Some of the outfits looked like they could be replacements for her current tour ensembles, I wonder if any will be introduced? I guess we'll find out soon.

[Davey84]

why do people always have to complain?? in the last 2 weeks she did an english show,a french show and now this one! Do you think Céline has the memory of an elephant? It's amazing she did as many new duets imo! I can't wait to see it all, it looks like a once in a lifetime experience! thank you all for the videos, photos and updates!

[I Surrender]

I agree Davey. Just enjoy the vids and pics. They are amazing

Would love to see more of this.
