hm. starting to get a miiiite bored with TC.

[CrazyFanto3]

Awesome! I love this show and Celine will only make it better. I can't wait.

 

[DianaLuts]

I guess Nov 27th is the final of the show. They couldn't have gotten a bigger star than Celine to appear even thou it will be a recording.

[CelineFreak]

Seriously, MHWGO? She's shooting herself in the foot if she does that...or someone else is, if they're making her. And you can't really dance to TC...can you?

Well, I'm excited that she's on there, she's REALLY making the rounds this time.

 

BTW...i bought my TC tour tickets this morning right after they went on sale. She'll be here Sept. 22, I got floor seats - not the best, but the best I could do. I was an idiot and missed the special pre-sale.

Sure you can dance to TC. I am sure they will come up with something like a Viennese Waltz.

ehh...i suppose that would work. I was hoping they'd pick something like Seduces Me...

[idroveallnight]

It's definitely not tomorrow because Avril Lavigne is singing.

[rodrigo_alka]

MHWGO Live again ? ...

 

can't wait for that

[Koolan]

why mhwgo?

[Elaine]

That's the same question I've got in my head...

REVIEW FROM THE TAPING:

 

My roommate and I went to Celine's taping of Dancing with the Stars today. She was a pre-tape before the live show. She sang Taking Chances first (shortened version) but it was LIVE and she hit the notes! Her band was not there, but the DWTS band played along (probably to track). She was wearing a black jacket, similar to what she wore in the UK I believe!? She sangTaking Chances once; then My Heart Will Go On-also LIVE Yah! The dancers only danced to My Heart Will Go On, and she performed that song twice in order to get the shots just right. She was wearing a black (or maybe navy blue) dress for MHWGO, and looked amazing! Overall, great performance (her voice) but there was very little energy.

 

I have previously seen JLo on DWTS this season, and honestly, Celine didnt live up to her performance. No special set, no dancers, no movement....her voice was AMAZING but I really wish her team would step it up as far as her performances! She didnt talk to the audience - she came on stage to sing and left the stage right after...probably just itching to get back to Vegas.

 

She'll air next week on the finale, can't wait to see what it looks like on the screen!

Letter to Celine: Please, for the Love of God, stop singing MHWGO starting at the beginning of 2008. It's a great song, but I think everyone knows it by now and it's imprinted on all 5 billion of earth's inhabitants brains.

 

Best regards

Steve

I'm sure they probably requested her to sing MHWGO. Most every singer that has appeared on this show has sang one of their new songs and one of their classics that the dancers on the show dance to....and MHWGO is Celine's Classic.

aw, thats a little rude of her. She's probably exhausted though, I think when she taped that she just got back in from NYC

[nano]

Thanks Kimberly for the review!!

[KimboCosmo]

I guess I'll have to watch this in my room in Vegas...this is the day we are leaving out to come to Vegas. Can't wait!

[smw]

She's REALLY taking chances!

tooo true

[Cheerfuljane]

Kimberly for the update...

 

Can`t wait to hear her sing TC live

[tcherno]

thanks. i am the one who posted days go that the songs that she will perform are TC & MHWGO. but really, cant she bring some dancers from AND to do a showwwwww. OMG

 

stop singing MHWGO. god, someone from this forum should be in her marketing team... if she has any... thats a suicide.

[Teodora]

I don't know what kind of energy anyone could have after being on the road for a month, going from one country to another and doing a billion interviews and TV shows. As long as her voice was in good shape, I'm happy. And as long as she shows off those fabulous legs

Did she really hit the real notes, at the end? She didn't do it this far...

[Elaine]

Thanks for the review Kimberly!!

 

Pity she didn't talk to you...

 

Can't wait to see this on TV!!

Dancing with the Stars Backstage Report: The 10s Pour In

by Deborah Starr Seibel

 

One of the greatest singers in the world says she wants to dance. On the show. As a contestant. Céline Dion, backstage at Dancing with the Stars Monday night, had just pretaped two songs for the show's finale next week. One of them will be her signature ballad, "My Heart Will Go On," from Titanic.

 

"I hope they invite me again," says Dion. "I want to dance. For me, it's not about a contest. It's about having the privilege to share the dancing floor with the most amazing, talented people, and to share music. It's not about winning. It's about dancing as many times as possible."

 

Who is she dreaming about as a possible partner? Maks? Tony? Jonathan? "I want all of them," she says slyly.

 

Dion says she's not kidding. Six of the show's professionals danced in front of her as she sang — including Tony Dovolani, Cheryl Burke, Mark Ballas and Karina Smirnoff — and Dion says she had trouble concentrating on her lyrics. "I was having a hard time singing because I was like, 'Oh, I want a dress just like that! Oh, I want a flower, too. Oh, my god, I want a body like that. I wish I could dance like that as I sing the song.' But it's impossible. It's one or the other. But I was imagining that the dancers were me."

 

She sways backstage, moving her arms, as if auditioning for the gig. Then she starts singing the familiar lyrics. "Near. Far..." Dion starts laughing, and then goes into a funky rendition of "Proud Mary," still dancing. She says she only had a smattering of ballet training as a kid, not nearly enough to make her proficient now. She says her husband tapes the show for her and she watches it with their 4-year-old son. "I'm a tremendous fan," she says.

 

Dancing's casting director, Deena Katz, stands nearby, just out of earshot. Tell her that Dion wants to be a contestant and she immediately notes the long-term commitment. The months of preparation and competition may be impossible for someone like Dion, who is about to leave her long-term Las Vegas show and begin a world tour in support of a new album. "Wait until I tell her that it's 14 weeks," says Katz. Katz says she's heard it before from guest artists, including Lionel Richie. "But I know Celine loves the show," says Katz. "So we'll be sending Rene [Angelil, Dion's husband and manager] an offer tomorrow."

 

"Celine is amazing," says pro Mark Ballas after the show. "So gracious. A lot of guest artists, they don't even acknowledge you. But Celine, she thanked us. She talked to everybody."

 

Ballas is gearing up for his highly anticipated return to the floor Tuesday night with Sabrina Bryan, in a number they'll perform with guest artist Avril Lavigne. What's it going to be? "It's not Latin or ballroom," says Ballas mysteriously. "But there will be a bit of rumba." The rumba, you may recall, is the sexiest dance in the show's repertoire and perfect for Ballas and Bryan, who are now dating.

 

Meanwhile, the rest of the ballroom was buzzing about the Osmonds. The show is going to have to get a bigger ballroom if this keeps up: Four of the brothers took time away from their holiday shows in Branson, Missouri, to cheer on little sister Marie. That's in addition to Donny, who's there almost every week, reporting on the show for Entertainment Tonight. After judge Bruno Tonioli gave Marie a 9 for her quickstep — when Carrie Ann Inaba and Len Goodman had given her 10 — Donny Osmond stood up during the commercial break and asked the crowd, "Should I beat Bruno up now?"

 

Tonioli bolted out of his seat and sprinted onto the dance floor, where he and Osmond exchanged fake punches. The show's warm-up, Cory Almeida, noted dryly, "It's too bad we didn't have Jerry [springer] on this season. He would've known how to handle this."

 

After the show, it becomes clear that Marie's invitation to the audience to come over for Thanksgiving as her way of saying thank-you for their votes is a lovely sham. Her brothers say she's an awesome cook and makes some mean mashed potatoes, but she won't be slaving over a hot stove this holiday season. If she makes it into the finale, she'll be busy rehearsing. "We'll be staying in town and going out to eat somewhere," says Marie. So she's not even cooking a turkey? "Oh, no," she laughs. "Mama's not cooking this year. We're going out!"

 

Before Mel B. started her Viennese waltz, her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, stood on the sparkling staircase and put his hands together in silent prayer. Later it becomes clear why: "She only had two hours of practice this week," says Chmerkovskiy. How is it possible to learn two new dances in two hours? "She doesn't think about it," says Maks. "She just dances. If she thought about it, if she realized how hard it really is, she would probably freak out."

 

After the show, the one most freaked out was Helio Castroneves, who is having trouble focusing when you ask him about his two perfect scores. "What? Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I still don't believe what just happened," he says. "It's so surreal. You work so hard, and then it pays off, and you can't believe it. Julianne [Hough, his professional partner] told me that Apolo [Anton Ohno, last season's champ] didn't even do that well in the semifinals. "Can you believe it?"

 

Hough can and does. When asked what she's got up her sleeve if they get to do the freestyle in the finals, she won't spill the beans. "But I can tell you this," says Hough. "He can lift me. So we want to do tons of lifts."

[CSCfan]

Oh I reeeeeeally hope they will accept the offer! That would be SO much fun!!

[nano]

omg..that would be so great!!

[Xpresso]

I also don't understand why she keeps singing MYWGO?

If I wasn't a Celine fan and would hear Taking Chances on the show, I would think, WOW, a nice new song from Celine! But then, MYWGO!!! Then I would think "I won't bother to buy the new CD as I know MHWGO by HEART and already have it!!"

[Nando Férri]

It would be perfect, but with the world tour I don't think it would be possible.

[LVCeline]

I'll take MHWGO live over TC any day! I can't even listen to the Vegas lipped version, but I always love her live renditions. TC is pretty stale in a live setting and we've heard it enough. I'm thrilled about MHWGO!
