Chel, what a great story and terrific pics! You girls got your money's worth and a whole lot more, I'd say. Way to go for y'all to get to hug Celine!! How wonderful for you and Kim!! I can't wait to see the vids. Hope you can get them uploaded soon. Thanks so much for sharing this momentous experience with us.

Alright, after diligently working, I have completed my editing and conversion of my recordings from the concert.

 

You may want to turn your volume down before playing and then adjust it because the crowd can be loud.

 

I do not have all the songs, but most of them along with her wonderful interaction with us.

 

 

Tonight we were all on fire! Celine was so happy with her welcome back to ATL!

 

Everything was perfect! And especially loved the connection she had with us all. It couldn't have been much better!

 

I will edit this message with the RapidShare link to download the MP3s in ZIP format after they finish uploading.

 

So bear with me!!!!

Awww wow thanks ladies, LOVE the one with her legs flopped over the stage

OH Chels I can't wait to see that Oh My Dion

[hellmeister]

Hello Kiddos!

 

I know that I have yet to post anything about my Celine adventures in Atlanta... yes, I am a hideous slacker

 

Chelsey pretty muched summed up everything so anything I could say would just be redundant - I will say though, seeing Celine again was AMAZING. She remembered who I am and was really sweet, of course God I love her! I hope they send the picture to me soon - they took one and are going to send it to me...

 

 

I feel like this show was very productive and I had a wonderful time! I am so glad to have had the chance to meet everyone and share our passion for our diva.

 

I am going to make a video montage of all the pictures and videos. It will proabably be the length of a short film because there isn't anything that I can leave out, it was just that great!!

 

So, for now, just a few pics... more to come later!

 

 

waiting...

Thanks of you !!!

[Lucie]

Awww yay girls!! I thought it was you on the big screen at the end!! Congrats!!! I left a bit early and watched it from the balcony since I parked and wanted to get out before the rush.

 

My Love was amazing!! I had a really good crowd around me, I was on the other side of the catwalk from you guys I think, a few rows back.

 

She was amazing though! Wooo!!! My pictures turned out horrible, I have a new camera and this was my first time using it for anything important.

I checked mine and it worked. Try renaming it. Let me know if that works.

NOW>>> on to the show- SOOO

Brittany was with us (the red headed girl who met Celine on Oprah) and she had a meet and greet tonight! ahhhhh! She had a wonderfully special gift for Celine: a pair of frog panties and bra set! WOOO HOO! She said Celine just said ''oooooh!" lol. BUT they scheduled WAAY too many people for the meet and greet (there were about 25 people back there) that autographs weren't even allowed! INFACT, Gordy Brown went off stage at 8:35 and Celine didnt show up for a meet and greet til about 8:40! GEEEZ! SO in and out they went! =( Still Britt said she was ADORABLE!

 

Among us all, we had floor seats, lower level, and by the catwalk.

 

I can BARELY find the words to tell you how absolutely amazing this show was. I really feel like our banner and frog got her PUMPED! She came out so peppy!

 

Now, Kim and I had to signs and as soon as Celine came out we jumped up with them and she pointed RIGHT to us! BUT the old hags behind us grabbed our shirts and yanked us down yelling and telling us not to stand and that we couldnt hold signs. I thought she would rape me she was so rough. It REALLY put us in a pissy moodf or the beginning of the show and we were already trying to map a way to get away from them! BUT we were RIGHT there on the My Love side and we decided to stick it out to get that great shot!

 

So on went the show. it was beautifuL! she was smiling and having to put her smile away jsut to be able to talk if you can imagine.

 

barnev recognized us (i gues from facebbook) and winked and waved at us. He laughed at how much we were freaking out in the crowd. It was WAAAAY cool to have a personal connection with someone on stage!

 

So the BEST part was My Love... she was loving the crowd already and took the time to say how much it really meant to her and the crew that we were all so lively! She started explaining My Love's background and the chance arose for us to yell out "MY LOVE!" So , kimbo and i were sitting next to each other and YELLED AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS. We were so close we probably didnt need to but all our forum friends said afterwards that they KNEW it was us as soon as they heard it! Celine made SUCH a cute face like "wow, yeah! lol" and then looked over towards us and said "yeah, thats it" and the crowd started laughing!

 

she continued the song but towards the end she pauses and the crowd goes NUTTTS! I mean, BONKERS! High pitched screams, whistles..everything and she just cant stop smiling. She looked like she was going to cry because of how overwhelming it was! it took forever to get back in and you cant hear ANYTHING but the crowd! She motions back to Mego to cue the musicand she started to finish the song. You still could barely hear her beacuse of the crowd! then at the end.. standing ovation and more screams: she fell straight back onto the stage and just layed there with so much emotion! Then she got up and said "I wish you alll could have been in the studio with me while recording that song because you are all such an inspiration!" awwwwwwwwwww! She asked what we were doing tomorrow night because it was so fun she wanted to come back! LOL.

 

The rest of the show was soo amazing. Little quirky things like slapping the dancers' butts and being goofy - at one point she hit a totally random high note and made a face afterwards like "okay, calm down celine" lol.. I dont knwo what kind of high she was on but she was DEF. feeding off our energy..

 

 

I saw you guys there! I was sitting to the left of the "My Love" side. SHe hung her legs off the side and then lay back on the stage. I saw a red head wearing a white T-Shirt that pointed at Celine. Was that Brittany? Celine was so overwhelmed! It was amazing! She was just great!! I can't even describe. She was on in Kansas City. But she was "une femme extraordinaire" "C'est magnifique" "Une belle femme". She was beyond words!!!!

and pics...

 

[fyoung98]

So once Kimberly and I got to our seats, I spotted this funny short black security guard so I went over to him and asked which side Celine would be exciting out of and he said he didnt know yet. I was like.. you dont know yet? Thats not very prepared! The show is about to start! YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW. and he was like, why .. so i can tell YOU and I said.. WELL YEAH! so he said he would try his best to find out and then come tell me during the intermission. i was thrilled and started to walk away and it hit me. I turned around and yelled,.. 'HEY, there is no intermission!" lol. and he was like, oh, yeah well I'll find out and letcha know! I said OKAY, i'm going to com eback and find you. lol. We were only two rows from the floor and about 12 feet from the catwalk where Celine would have came out from under. It felt like we were under the stage too but it was okay, you kinda got a backstage feel to it.

 

SOOOOOOOOO- During RDMH Kim and I dashed. She went straight up the steps to the top and I went to catch her beacuse I wanted to go down to the floor. (mis communication LMAO) so we got to the floor and i just walked in like we belonged there so no one asked for out tickets. I walked straight up to that same security guard and i was like.. WELLLL did you find out? and he said yeah, shes coming out this catwalk but going out the other side and you cant pass through underneath to that side! WE WERE LIKE YOU"RE KIDDING! so right then I spotted NICK!

 

Now, previously we saw him pass by and yelled his name, he looked, waved, and winked at us but was looking like.. wow i have no idea who they are LOL

 

so then this was his second meeting with us lol. ( he was probably thinking o lord, them again) and I asked him where Celine would come out and he said the same thing. So i pouted with him and begged and he was like, once you're on this side you cant cross over! He siad if he let us then he would have to let everyone. So then it got dark bc MHWGO was coming up so i grabbed him in big bear hug and said take us under now.. NO one will see because its dark! and he just laughed and laughed. but kept saying no. i even grabbed him and pulled him towards the other side with me. (i think i forgot he was a huge body guard of Celines lol) I told him I had a meet and greet with Celine in Miami and he was like.. o well then you dont need over there to hug her and I said.. "ah, i shouldnt have told YOU'!! then kim told her she had been a fan for so long and never gotten a hug or anything. He said we were so sweet but there was nothing he could do. We could stand there but we couldnt get to the other side! I said, okay, well as soon as she comes out from the catwalk can we scream her name and she can hug us before she turns the corner to head out and he said.. nooo. EER, so I told him thanks and he turned away.

 

BUT then kim was like, hey lets get a pic with him so i screamed his name (all during MHWGO) and said well can we atleast get a picture and he said sure but really fast. SO I gave my camera to the same security guard who had been watching this whole thing unravel! lol He took the picture and I told him that the big man said fast and he wasnt going fast enough lol. Nick was really cracking up with us! So i got the picture and looked at it and i turned to Nick and said "he cut your head off but dont tell him because i dont think he's very good and photography" lol but the guy was like.. heeey! So nick said no, lets take another one! C'mon! So he took another one and it was adorable! I hugged Nick so tight and thanked him and he said something again like we couldnt go over so we tried to be polite and thank him anyway and state how we knew he had to do his job and we were glad he let us stand down there and then all of a sudden out of the blue he said "aww, yall are too sweet- hang on just a second let me see"

 

I think we both peed ourselves right then! He crossed under the catwalk to the golden side and whispered to someone and then motioned us through! he said, stand RIGHT here.. which was RIGHT where Celine comes out first! AHHHHHHHHH kim and i both teared up and i just hugged nick so tight. he was really amazing! so the band started coming out and the dancers! We saw Barnev and he looked so surprised like.. 'how did ya'lll get over HERE' lol. Then there came Celine and nick motioned right away, and said "these two girls first" OMG. she hugged kim first and then hugged me. It was on the big screen too! people were talking to us afterwards saying, hey ya'll were the two on the BIG screen! OMG!

 

she was sooo beautiful and short lol. not really short but just more than you would think. her eyes were so bright . kim and I both held on for way too long lol. When I hugged her I just completely put my hand on the back of her head and held her close! i could feel every extension on that beautiful head! lol And she smelled amazing! ahhhhh! Kim will have to explain hers!

 

No one in our posey got it on video! =( We are PRAYING someone did though! keep your eyes peeled. We are dying to see it! I motioned to Nick and gave him the 'i love you' sign. What a GREAT GREAT thing he did for us!

 

I wish each and everyone of you could have been at this show. Itwas on FIRE! We have to show you the my love video bc it is the very best but it is currently loading and will take 7000 more years! =)

 

Whew. I am so tired of typing, I am sure there will be more.. but this is all for now. ahhhh!

 

 

I SAW YOU!!!! I tried to take a picture but people kept getting in the way
