June 2, 2008 - Amsterdam, Netherlands (Amsterdam Arena)

[LD1977]

My only worry is: is this text long enough??? By the time the entire Arena gets the point and sings along, we are at the end, I am afraid! Or not? Maybe we should do the last sentence twice, like Celine does as well!

[videoboy]

it doesn't matter, people will go on singing the song I guess...security won't complain, in bercy anybody said anything! I don't know If I can print something, so somebody can please????? I will let you know tomorrow!

[celine the power of my dream]

WE'VE ADDED THE FIRST VERSE, SO THE COMPLETE TEXT IS:

 

For all those times you stood by us

For all the truth that you made us see

For all the joy you brought to our life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love we found in you

We'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held us up

Never let us fall

You're the one who saw us through, through it all....

 

You were our strength when we were weak,

You were our voice when we couldn't speak,

You were our eyes when we couldn't see,

You saw the best there was in us

 

Lifted us up when we couldn't reach,

You gave us faith coz you believed....

We're everything we are,

because youuuu loved uuuuus

Is there any Dutch fansite/fanforum?? You deffinitely need to post this info there as, after all, most people will be from the NL.

 

Anyways, I think singing the entire song would be too much. We can sing the part Mathias/Laura posted and if when it gets to an end, maybe those who will start it, can just sing this part again?... Hmm...

 

As for volenteers, I'm not really a right person to do stuff like this but I can also try to help (printing the info and giving it to people I see before the show or in my block (A6).

 

Laura, you said The Reason???? I think I need to mail you privately because this nickname rings a bell of an ooooold friend of mine! He was/is also Celine fan and we were good friends like 10 years ago... I would LOVE go get in touch with him again!! Talk to you in a few minutes!

[celine the power of my dream]

Already posted! Also posted on www.celinedion.nl

The Reason is a Dutch mailing list (Laura already sent a mail and the response was very positive..)

[Dionesque]

Oh, I see... I thought "The Reason" were my old Dutch friend Stefan...

Hope I can find him out one day though...

 

I sent the announcement to a few of my friends who I know are going to Amsterdam show and they are not members here nor on any Dutch boards because they don't speak Dutch.

[I Surrender]

Great idea guys. Hope we can pull this off. Celine would love it am sure.

[nano]

I'm no longer coming to Amsterdam. I'm so sad about this, but in this situation..family wins.

 

Though I have to skip Amsterdam, I'm still attendint Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki concerts..see you there!

[Dionesque]

Oh, that's soooo sad, Anu!!! :(

I hope there are not any bad things happening in your family.... Thinking of you a lot!!!

 

Too bad you can't come to Amsterdam... That means we won't meet again as I'm neither in Copenhagen nor in Stockholm nor Helsinki.... Hopefully in the future we can meet again at an another show, at an another tour.....

[celínico_sin_remedio]

Hope to see you all there!!

 

 

(I'll be singing along ,I've read the other topic)

 

So....

 

Bye!!!!!

 

 

 

 

[CSCfan]

Ahh Anu! That's too bad.... was really looking forward to welcoming you to Holland!

Oh well, better luck next time! Hope all is well....

[SylcaCéline]

Some of my best friends, Celine fans also, lives in Holland, i go there several times a year but because of my stupid boss who refused my days off from work, i won't be able to go to Amsterdam with my friends to see Celine ! It's not fair

 

I wish you all a great concert and enjoy it the best as possible. My heart and my soul will be there also.

[anewdayhascome]

have a nice time!

This is my photo of the billboard on the Tulip Hotel in Amsterdam where I had stayed before going to Antwerp it was nice to see Celine from the first my moment

[marije81]

Heb er super veel zin in! kan haast niet wachten,haha.

Zit vandaag ook bijna de hele tijd 'taking chances' te luisten.

Hopelijk kan ik me concentreren maandag op het werk,haha.

Ben zo benieuwd naar het concert! eerste keer dat ik Celine live zie!!

 

Marije

[I Surrender]

Bereid je dan maar voor want het wordt helemaal geweldig. Ik zal mijn eerste concert nooit vergeten.

[pegasus]

Hey guys and girls!

 

It's only 2 days away and I see no fanmeetings whatsoever planned...

Are we just going to the concert or do people want to hang out and meet eachother earlier that day? I have the day off so I can catch a train to Amsterdam whenever I want. I'm going with a friend, but he has to attend his study untill 15.00 or 16.00. So if people want to meet up I can come earlier, if not then I will see

 

The weather should be okay on monday, quite warm 27/28 degrees celcius but there can be some clouds and a bit of rain.

 

C u there!

[racey3229]

WHERE IS SHE STAYING IN AMSTERDAM.... ANY NEWS YET??

 

IF ANY1 FINDS OUT PLEASE COULD YOU TEXT ME ON 07890552951. THAT IS UK MOBILE NUMBER

[Dionesque]

I would like to know the answer to this question too but I guess we will first be able to find out when we are there. Noone will tell us in ahead, that's for sure, hehe!

 

As for fanmeeting, I will be probably seeing some fans before the show already but I'm not really able to join regular fanmeeting(s) because I will arrive on Monday afternoon and leave early morning next day. Unfortunately I can't stay longer in Amsterdam which is a really a pity as I loved the city when I visited it for the 1st time a few years ago and still haven't seen too much of it...

[racey3229]

how will u find out when you get there where she is staying??

[Dionesque]

Look at this tour diary entry - according to the last few lines, the tour crew left Dublin today morning and headed to Amsterdam. No word if Celine is with them or if it's only about the stage/technicians/musicians etc. but still interesting...

Maybe anyone already spotted Celine's team in Amsterdam???

[racey3229]

wow where did u get that running sheet from??? celine left for amsterdam last night i believe!

[I Surrender]

That would be cool if she had.

[BrigitteIsabella]

Now we know how late the show begins. We won't have to take our seats until 8.

[I Surrender]

Just heard the weather forecast for tomorrow and its going to be hot and humid people

Also later in the afternoon heavy showers and thunder even can be expected !! This means they will def

be closing the roof of the Arena, meaning its going to be a SAUNA inside.

For those who havent been to the arena before, you cant pay with cash money inside, you have to buy cards. If you want to buy a drink or something to eat you will pay with the card.

[BrigitteIsabella]

Thanks for the info, I will put on a t-shirt and something I can put on and off

[Dionesque]

Somewhere I read that the support for Amsterdam will be a group from South Wales called The Storys.

Never heard of them but hopefully they will do a good job warming up the crowd!

[CDI]

would there be anyone here who could buy a tourbook for me and I'll buy it back off you provided its in good condition?
