[Shesings2me]

They are amazing pictures She's so lucky!

 

It's not about luck, Celinefan5...it's about Taking Chances....!!!!!

[Shesings2me]

Hmmmm... I am so frustrated that I didn't think to check the forum before the concert! I haven't been on the Forum too many times, and I kept on searching fans to attend the show on Facebook, with no luck.

 

I attended the show on Friday, October 24th and I had gold package seats purchased 11 months ago. Prior to that I have only seen Celine once in Las Vegas (after 12 years of dreaming of her), and I was lucky to get my seats exchanged from the 7th row to the front row by the Box Office Manager. Being so close to Celine, I wasn't really able to enjoy the show, as I kept on shivering throughout the whole thing. Celine was just meters away from me and when she sat down at the edge of the stage, she basically sat in front of me! What an amazingly beautiful woman, both inside and out!

 

Anyways, at her concert in Edmonton, I had the chance to enjoy myself: I danced and sang and yelled all show long. I was also able to take some really nice pictures and videos, which I will always treasure! Such an amazing show... What a night!!!

After the show I begged my husband to take me to the Fairmont MacDonald Hotel and after about an hour of waiting, one of Celine's security agents came to us and told us she would no longer come downstairs. Full of disappointment, we left home, but promised to return the next day.

 

So on October 25th, we sat in front of the hotel for about 2 hours. It was freezing and we had our 2 month old daughter, Nadia Celine, with us. But that wait was all worthed. Celine came downstairs just minutes before 5 PM, and even though the security people said she wouldn't stop as she is in a huge hurry, all I had to say was "Celine!" and she came straight to me!!! She was not very warm nor very talkative to me, but she signed my book and my husband's Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey, and she took the picture with me despite the fact that her bodyguard tried to push me away from the car. When I thanked her for having been such a huge inspiration throughout my life, she sighed and mumbled a little 'thank you'. Now I found out that she was actually battling a cold, and probably wasn't feeling too good. Not to mention the stress that she always undergoes before her shows.

 

After she left, we learnt that besides me and my family, she stopped with a couple of ladies from Calagry inside the hotel and also stopped in to congratulate the bride and the groom that were having the reception inside the hotel.

 

However, I am forever grateful for having met Celine in person. She is my model in life and I am glad I could say thank you to her!

 

Wow...another deserving fan gets her moment with Celine. I'm glad that things worked out the way they did for both of us and I wish many more of us the same!! Thanks for the awesome pics and the great review of the show and of your meeting. I'm pretty sure Celine was so quiet because of her illness...and she probably didn't want to spread it to you either...seriously!

Thank you Tracy! I am really happy you enjoyed the pictures and my review... As for Celine, now it makes sense why she was a bit pale when I met her. I am battling a cold now from waiting in front of the hotel that day, but as long as I don't pass it on to my baby, I don't really care! It was all worthed!

I am happy you got to meet her too! It's true, I hope many of her fans will get this chance... to be touched by an angel!

[Teodora]

Hey, I'd stay with a cold for a month if I had the chance to meet her . I read about her, poor thing, she had to sing with the cold in Winnipeg. Hope you both girls are getting some rest and get better soon.

[Chula]

The second concert was full house?

[celcris]

They were both sold out!!!

Ha-ha! Jason mentioned that you should have come to Edmonton in order to get both: Celine and a cold! Looollll Girl, all I want for you is to get that chance of meeting her! You totally deserve it!

As for the cold, we are strong girls so we will get over it... sooner or later!

[destin139]

I have had such a crap evening and this video has just totally made my week and put such a smile on my face!! Thank you Celine I love you!!

It's so wonderful!!! I just love it at 22 seconds when she actually starts laughing! You wouldnt get that at any other large scale concert like Madonna etc - Celine has such an incredible relationship with her fans - its so sweet! People can slag her off all they like but she is so loved!!

[celinevegas]

[QueenCeline]

That is one of the most fantastic things I have seen in a while. I am so jealous I was not at that concert! I do have one quick story about my concert though. So, I cannot really remember what part of the concert it was in, but just as she was done talking, a few seconds before she began to sing, it was silent. I told all my friends I would scream "Celine, I love you!". I had a whole scenario worked out. She would hear me, say "who said that?" I would yell "me!" and then she would invite me on stage, and I would scramble through the audience to get to her. But anyway... I just yelled because it was very instantaneous, I did not remember what to say. And she looked up, put her hand to her chest and was like "Ohhh..." And then people started to laugh and clap It was amazing.... I wish I had it on film. So, throughout the concert, I remember what I told my friends. So every time it looked like she was going to talk, I shoved my camera at my mom and asked her to record so if it got quiet enough, I would scream but I did not have a chance Maybe next time....

 

Celine has such a big heart, and to stop a concert because someone yells at you, is unheard of. She is an angel.

 

P.S. - I think from now on, at every show, all the members who saw the video should scream at the same time as the woman did here. After a while it will get old, and I think she will just let it fly, but I think it would be cool to show her how connected we really are, and how much we love her!

 

P.S.S. - I know I am going to if I get to go again!
