My Love video

 

Omg I LOVE YOU!

 

 

Lol

I'll put up the rest in a bit. They are not very good though. Considering the lights and all.

 

 

Nah, I thought it was great cause it was like from my perspective. You must have been like one or two seats away from me. Did you see some girl crying the whole time? Lol that was me. I was in seat 6 row 7.

 

What?!?! I was row 7 seat 9... Lol I didn't notice anyone crying, but did you see the girl with her hand up to block the light the majority of the time? That was me. Were you sitting in between two girls and two guys? I sat next to the guy with the A New Day shirt. I can't believe the difference two seats make! Even the guy next to me didn't have the light in his face.

[autumnskies00]

I saw the guy with a AND shirt on. He was one seat to my right. It really was a big difference in lighting. I remember saying to my mom that I was glad I wasn't sitting over there.

Here are the rest of our pictures. Some came out pretty nice, but the majority are not good.

Atlantic City was awesome!!!

I went to Philly, too, and was able to give her flowers right before they RAN her through the corridor and backstage, but it was at arm's length. She had grabbed my hand and said thank you, but it was as she was walking through the crowd and then running away... I didn't take my camera because I was scared they'd take it away from me, so I don't have any proof that it actually happened, aside from my friend and family telling me I was on the big screen (LOL)! I was in heaven, though, because after being a fan for 13 years and getting to be THAT close at my first concert was unreal!

 

So, Atlantic City.

The crowd was DEFINITELY more subdued than it was in Philly. That didn't stop me, though. I was in section 12 in the first row, which, in my opinion, was probably the best seat in the house because we were on the risers on the side with the smaller floor section in front of us. So we were basically like 15th row floor but level with the stage. I was so happy with the seats...better than my 12th row in Philly because I could see her when she was on the other side of the stage. We could see EVERYTHING!

I went prepared to AC: Camera, Sharpies, and items for her to sign if I got the chance when she left the stage at the end of the show. There were steps going down right in front of us and I knew that they might not let us go down there once the show was over to get to her.

So, I had been joking with one of the security guards near our entrance each time I went in and out before the show and it just so happens that he was the one guarding those steps at the end of the night. So, after River Deep, Mountain High I took a chance and went up to him and said, "Are you going to let my friend and I down after the last song to see her when she walks out?" His response: "No, you have to exit up." I gave him a pouty face and said PLEASE! At that point he said, "If you go now and find an empty seat, I don't care what you do!" A few people had left...my guess was to beat the traffic (WTF??? Not only was it Celine and I would never DREAM of leaving before that last note ends, but their seats weren't cheap)...so we grabbed our stuff and ran.

I patted the security guy on the shoulder and said thanks as we walked back down and he asked me if I took pictures. When I said yes he gave me his card and asked me to email them to him, which I told him I would because he was my new best friend. So, we went to the side she ENTERED on because from my experience it was the same side she left from. BUT, halfway through My Heart Will Go On, Bill (security dude) came over and said, "I think you're on the wrong side. There's a limo outside the door over there, and the whole back row is empty, so you might want to move now!" So we did, and he was right!! She came through the crowd, stopped and signed my book, I told her she's amazing, she smiled and said thank you, and then she moved down the line. I probably could have asked for a picture WITH her but it all happened too fast. Still, FABULOUS to meet her!

 

BUT...I'm still hoping someone snapped a picture of me with Celine in the same shot, or took video of her leaving the stage (even if it was of the big screen)... If you see ANY proof of those interactions, please let me know!!

 

Here's Celine as she signed my book *sigh*

Welcome! Great first post. I got a short video of her leaving but it's not very clear due to the spotlight. Where were you in the line?

great pic thx

No video. SORRY!!

Yeah right, I'm surprised I got my camera up in time to take a picture, trying to hand Celine the sharpie and keeping the book on the right page for her to sign it.

I was shocked when the picture turned out perfectly!

[Gr8estReward]

KOOLAN ~ Forget the security guy... YOU are my new best friend!! Thanks for the video!!!

[Terre]

Too bad the crowd sucked. I'm also sorry to hear that some people had spotlight in their eyes. I can't believe they didn't fix the problem.

 

I really love Céline's new dress! She looks stunning in it!

 

Thank you for the pics, videos and reviews! And congrats to those who had a special moment with Céline, you're so lucky!

[shishi]

No video. SORRY!!

 

its a pity ! I am going to keep his kisses in my memory

[Koolan]

KOOLAN ~ Forget the security guy... YOU are my new best friend!! Thanks for the video!!!

Glad I recorded it.

[kathy4]

i was wondering if anyone has noticed this at their shows. but from where i was sitting on the right of me i noticed an oxygen machine or some kind of machine there. is there one at every show?

[kathy4]

also i didn't notice a problem with the spotlight at my show from where i was sitting.

[Mag]

Awwww Guys!!!! I'm speechless!!!

It must have been an amazing Show! I'm so happy for you all who had a chance to be there .

I'm so sorry to hear again, that the audience (at least most of it) was awful Sorry for Celine...

For me Celine's every concert is SOMETHING totally awesome Her power, energy, passion... aw, I love this Woman!

THANK YOU ALL for your reviews!!! videos!!! and photos!!!

 

THOMAS!!!! I really don't know how to thank you for your totally F A N T A S T I C photos!!! Every single one!!! THE BEST SHOTS!!!! Celine looks simply stunning!!!

[Dionesque]

Thank you guys for all the great reviews, photos and videos!!

 

Ramona, Shishi, Vic, Cristen... you are all so lucky again!!

 

Cristen, your pic of Céline signing your book is so sweet!!! And how lucky you were meeting such a helpful security guy!

 

Christine, you will have your moment as well! Actually I can hardly believe you haven't had any yet as you've been to so many shows with Ramona already and you usually got so close to Céline before or right ather the concerts...

 

I know about the spotlight issue Libeck528 talked about. I experienced the same during one of the Antwerp shows. I've been in the middle of front row, TeamCéline seat, and I had the spotlight in my eyes most of the time...

 

Yeah, and I know the pain of CDWS too much myself.... I so badly need a remedy too... lol...

But there's nothing in sight as for now... *sniff*

Hi,

 

I attended the concert at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on the 20th. I was wondering if anyone happend to videotape The Power of Love, especially the ending. I was the girl that handed Celine a white rose. My grandmother was supposed to videotape it, but couldn't figure out my camera because she was crying because of the excitement, haha. i've been searching youtube every day to find this, but nothing yet. If anyone has it, please let me know! i would really appreciate it. :]

Hi! I saw you hand her the rose, but I was all the way up in the last row, so I didn't bother taking a video because nothing would have shown up

[celinedream]

if i'm not mistaken this is the oxygen / humidity machine right next to her:

[Dionesque]

I think the machine was there on every show. I guess that's what use to make quite some noise during the show. I mean, you can hear it very well when there's almost silence, like at the beginning of "My Love" or so.

[ashleylovesceline]

This stage was way off center, similar to what Indianapolis will be like. Can anyone tell me if that makes a difference on where things are onstage?

I don't remember anything being different from the Philly show, where it was completely centered.
