Hi to all Celine fans,

I have just come back from Dubai (2 hours ago) and I can't explain to you how I feel right now. It all feels like a dream, I can't believe that I've really seen Celine!! SOMEONE PLEASE PINCH ME!!!!

Guys you won't believe this! Celine actually looked at me and held out her hand (as if trying yo reach me) while singing Love Can Move mountains coz I was in the front raw right in front of her!!!! I still dream of it till now!!!

rathnakumar! It was an honor meeting you that fine day in Dubai...

8 March 2008

WEDNESDAY NIGHT saw the much anticipated, Celine Dion's Live in Dubai concert, achieve massive success as the diva entertained over 12,000 fans at the Four Seasons Golf Club, Festival City.

The show started promptly at 8.30pm and Celine dazzled from the off with classic hits such as, "Because you loved me," and "Power of Love," whipping the crowd into a frenzy. She managed to woo the masses further by greeting everyone in Arabic and declaring Dubai a "city where the action is."

As the show got under way, Celine proceeded to entwine her own ballads from the past along with hits by other artists, notably Queen, whilst performing tunes from her new album, "Taking Chances." She completed all this whilst managing to look effortlessly elegant and glamorous in her superb stage costume on what was a considerably chilly night. Fans were suitably impressed with the show and her performance. Andrew, an airline worker originally from Preston, England said, "I've lived here for five years and always said if Celine came I would definitely go. I've had an amazing time, it was simply wonderful." Raghad, who travelled from Abu Dhabi also added, "the songs were excellent, she was great." Among Celine's more famed admirers spotted at the concert were, Her Highness Princess Haya, wife of High Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Tennis ace Roger Federer was also in attendance. It is clear that all had a fantastic time.

Possibly the only criticism of the show would be the Festival City's organisational skills. Guards and gate attendants were ill informed on where people should go, which led to increased frustration when the show began. Parking was somewhat confusing and the promised bus service to transport people back to their cars after the concert was grossly inadequate. It has also been a feature of previous concerts, even where seating was provided, to hand out blankets and cushions to paying guests. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the service was not provided. However, such gripes did not detract from what was an excellent performance enjoyed by all.

Anyway, you guys, the concert was amazing!!! I got to see her from the first row!!! Such a big dream come true!!! And Céline was looking at the audience and I said "WE LOVE YOU, CÉLINE!" and she saw me and smiled!!! The next time she came near that part of the stage, she searched for a while with her eyes and then when she saw me she smiled again!!! :clap:

I'm telling you... Like the in the tour book she says "This is about looking you in the eye and saying I love you!!!" It was exactly like that!!! I screamed throughout the show like all of us there were... And Pour Que Tu M'Aimes Encore was extra special! I screamed saying I adored her in French and it was a great moment for me! I was sooooooooo emotional during my heart will go on in the end when even she teared in the end a little... I could see it!!! I don't know what came to her that moment... And looking at that, I was emotional too! She's such a wonderful person!!! She made me feel like she came there to sing for me... That's what I love about her... We fans took all the pains to get visas and pass through immigration checks and hours of waiting for her... She makes it all worth it when she comes on to the stage!!! It was truly a wonderful experience!!! I loved meeting Seline and Abadi from the forum and a couple of other foreign friends!!! I met a French speaking friend who was soooo impressed with the fact that I was learning French because of Céline! It was so much fun!!! I just wanted you guys to know...

Hum I wonder who posted that video.... :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Still think We Will Rock You is the worts possible cover choice.... way too cliché....

Why do the audience sing while Céline is singing??? :msn-tongue: Like "yo Céline I payed €170 for my ticket, yet I rather hear myself sing than you voice..." :shrug:

I posted the video!!! :laugh: I get your point!!! I guess it's a part of the whole deal! I mean, you can't help but sing! Atleast I couldn't resist! :sofunny: Anyway, the mobile picked up our voices because we were closer to the device... But there, Céline was the only one audible! We couldn't hear ourselves!!! That explains my singing off key! Anyway, I enjoyed the concert! It was awesome!

March 8, 2008 at 09:08 PM

Thank you so very much for the videos!!! I was watching many of them through youtube and I was amazed!!!! Pity Fade away didn't make it this time... I'm sorry, but I'll never get over it!! :giggle:

Thank you Thomas for the pics!!!

March 8, 2008 at 09:14 PM

Thomas you are THE KING of the HQ !!

I think I speak for dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, of fellow forum members when I say "Thank you so much for your time and your efforts to bring us HQ pictures of our beloved Celine"

You're the best !!!

I would second that!

:clap: :clap:

March 8, 2008 at 09:22 PM

It's called audience interaction Fred. It was time Céline did something like this....
