August 15-16, 2008 - Montreal, Canada (Bell Centre)

[Bellamy]

Is that really the reply you want to go with? If it was a "francophone" concert then why were 70% of her songs in English on Friday night?

Cause it's the "Taking Chances" tour, so the 70% of the set list remains the same.

That's my point. It wasn't just a francophone concert. It was the "Taking Chances" tour not the "Prendre Des Risques" tour. I think I am being fair here.

That's my point. It wasn't just a francophone concert. It was the "Taking Chances" tour not the "Prendre Des Risques" tour. I think I am being fair here.

Maybe because it's her home so she prefer speak in her mother tongue. Alsomaybe she didn't expect many English fans would be there. And you know the Quebec press is very sensitive on this. If she speaks English in Montreal concert tonight, the headline tomorrow could be "Celine forgot her mother tongue, she turns into American." It's very hard to please everyone.

I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying. She should speak French because she is French. All I ask is that she acknowledge the English speaking crowd in a partly English speaking city with a simple "Thank you" or "Hello" or "Good night". It's not too much to ask. If anything, she turned American when she recorded her major hits in English and when she sand the theme songs for American movies like Titanic, Up Close and Personal, and Beauty and The Beast. Also, she had to know there were English speaking fans in Montreal.

 

Congrats on all the Gold medals, FYI.

At least, She did say "Thank you", "Hello", "Good night" in other languages like Chinese, Japanese, Arabian, Germany, Italian, Swedish, Finnish... when she was in their countries.

 

Thanks. BTW, we have an Olympics section too. http://www.celinedionforum.com/Beijing-200...-Dream-f81.html

im english speaking also, but what do you expect, this is quebec, i loved the show because it was very her, natural, no forced english, the only downer on this concert was the venue, the sound doesnt move well, the acoustics didnt sound to great, i dont know maybe its because i was on floor seating........

The video of Ramona's interview can now be downloaded in our multimedia section http://www.celinedionforum.com/index.php?showtopic=36809

 

[Dionesque]

Wow, what can I say?! I just had a total blast in Montréal during all the shows I attended there!! I may say it has been better than Paris... maybe because it was a totally new experience for me, maybe because I was lucky enough to see Céline performing at her home where many of the people in the audience were her fans from the very beginning... But of course it's just my personal impression.

 

I got great seats for all the shows, took a looot of great pics with my new camera (will share some of them later) and recorded audio bootlegs of all 4 full shows.

 

Céline was on fire, so radiant, so happy!! She smiled and cheered so many times, she got very emotional, not only during "My Love"...

 

I will never regret the money I paid for all those tickets and for the journey to ?Montréal in general! Visiting this amazing city, experiencing Québec for the very first time, visitng Charlemagne with a bunch of other crazy fans from this forum - that all made my time in Québec just magical... And just too short so I deffinitely have to go back there one day!!!

 

Thank you guys here for all great reviews, photos, videos...

 

And most of all: great thanks and best greetings to all of the lovely people I met on my way in Montréal - some were new, some were already like 'old good friends'!!! Sharing those beautiful Célinish moments with you, hanging out with you... What a great time we've all had in Montréal and Charlemagne, huh?! :D

 

Special greatings go to Lizzy, Ramona, Christine, Tam, Steph, JP, Suus, Cindy, Robin, Tracy, Vic, Tal... I love ya all and hope to see all of you VERY soooon!!!!

 

JP. great job with the Fan Meeting on the 15th, I enjoyed it a lot and the location was such a beautiful place too!!!

[Terre]

Thank you so much for the amazing videos and pics! ABM and ML were incredible! DUAM was awesome too, I absolutely love the live performances of the song. And JSP... There are no words to describe it! It was out of this world!!!! *faints*

[Chula]

Good for you Dionesque

[Dionesque]

That's what's written all over the Centre Bell inside it! If I'm correct, it's between the 200s and 300s sections. It's written in bright white lightening letters so I'm sure Céline can see it and was touched by it!

Here's one of my pics of Véronic DiCaire, an amazing support act in Montréal!

You can see this poster next to the main entrance to Centre Bell. I photographed the car too on purpose so you can get an impression how HUGE this poster is! And it's sooo beautiful!! I would love to have the smaller version of it on my wall!

Why are you posting your fake tracklist again? When it's proved wrong again, you'll be banned from the forum forever. This is the third time.
