Official Discussion: A New Day... DVD member reviews

[shady pines ma]

Since poor little me, stuck in Kentucky, never got to see the show in person, I naturally decided to buy the DVD the week it came out, and it's amazing! Lip-synched/re-dubbed/whatever or not, Celine's voice was on point throughout the entire DVD at least. The visuals were amazing, but not overwhelming, although despite the bad blonde hair, I still would have liked a third disc with the original show simply because of the songs that weren't in the show in 2007, as well as costumes and such. (Although her original TPOL costume was ridiculous!) She looked amazing and so did the dancers. (And as kooky as Titoff and Elijah were, I loved them! It seriously wouldn't be A New Day without them.) Her selection of songs was amazing too.

 

The DVD itself is great quality. I've watched it on my SDTV and my uncle's HDTV, and even on SDTV it's amazing, but it's absolutely stunning in HDTV, especially if the DVD player is one that upconverts DVDs to near-HD quality. The 2-channel LPCM sound mix is amazing as well. (Since I know no one with a 5.1 Dolby Digital setup, I wouldn't know how great that sound mix is in comparison, but oh well.)

 

The bonus features are also excellent. I admit, I still haven't watched the full concert portion of the All Access feature, but I've watched some of it, plus the full pre- and post-show portions. I do love her quirky unscripted self and how she's not afraid to show it to the world.

well you better watch it now. ALL ACCESS is more interesting and more entertaining than the concert itself, believe me.

i just watch the concert again... and there's part i dont' like... which are when celine speaks in the song... like I'm alive, love can move mountain and i wish.....

i think it would be better if she didn't say those ... (i know it's part of show... but don't like it that much...)

[sangstar]

damn it took me ages to find this topic, finally got in on page 10!!

 

well anyway, finally watched the full length concert yesterday while getting my hair cut.. and i loved it, the concert, hair is a whole other story!!

especially enjoyed ive got the world on a string, im alive, and love can move mountains.

i really wish id gone there and seen it in person, especially the atmosphere during my heart will go on, the start with the violin, the flute, and the lady drifting across the top, it looked amazing on dvd, being there must have been amazing to see in person.

 

editing wise, alot of chopping, you can see where theyve cut bits, well the obvious black fadeout and then zoom in on audience clapping, also spotted the 4 orange shirts in the audience, well cool!

it would have been nice to see after the show when people were leaving, how they felt etc, i really enjoy that part, they did it on the colour of my love concert and thats one of my favourite parts.

 

looking forward to the concert now! and if they recreate the atmosphere, how they did for my heart will go on il love it, even though ive heard it like a trillion times, i love the titantic music (been listening to it on my ipod the whole week!), and plus its a nice sing along i hope the person sitting next to me wont mind on the taking chances tour, because i love singing along with celine at the top of my voice!!

I only have TWO complaints about this DVD:

 

1. IIC sounds more soulful on the live CD.

 

2. Celine sounds WEIRD singing the hign notes in "Seduces Me" (my least-liked number). I think she started the song a bit higher than she should have.

Has anyone reviewed the blu-ray version of the DVD? It's content? I have not seen much reference to it.

[Bellamy]

Content is exactly same as iternational(USA) edition.

[Chin]

I wanna make audio mp3 from the DVD...

Could anyone teach me how to do that?

I bought the DVD the week it came out but i couldnt get it on the day of its release coz they had sold out which i was gutted at but also very excited coz it meant that it was selling well!!

I loved all of it; was ever so slightly jealous of the people that got to meet her as I never even got to see the show!

I loved the extras, particularly backstage as it was really interesting to see how it all worked whilst the show was running - celines costume changes were insanely fast - you go girl!!

The secrets were great to watch aswell as I didnt realise quite how long the project had been in the pipeline before it opened!

Its great to see celine's wacky side and very cool that she's not afraid to show it to the world - thats what i love about her as we get to see shes so down to earth!

overall loved it and watched it over and over again when i first got it!! still dip in and out of it now to revisit the bits i love the most!

bring on the world tour dvd!!!

 

(sorry about the over excessive use of emoticons - ive only just discovered the whole list of them!! so blonde i know!!)

Did anyone notice that in RDMH, they didn't use the shots of Celine with the red lipstick? The editing of this song is disappointing, it could be one of the reasons why.

[Blondey]

Just watched the two DVD

oh my God! So touching

the first part consists of the concert itself plus the fan filmed meeting Celine (or the Queen)

the other DVD is dedicated to the secrets behind the stage and is called "A New Day : access" the same concert but from behind the stage including all managers, dancers and assistance with hair dresses etc

so which part did u like best and why?

[Jacqui]

I loved all of it, it made me really wish I had been able to go...my favourite parts were all the behind the scenes stuff.

[Jour053103]

I THINK THAT THE LAS VEGAS SHOW WAS GREAT!!!! PLUS THE HIGH LIGHT OF THE SHOW FOR ME WAS WHEN I YELLED TO CELINE IN FRENCH "JE T'AIME CELINE" AND SHE YELLED BACK AT ME "MOI AUSSI, JE VOUS AIME" MY NIGHT COULDN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT!!!

[Kristinaz]

Is it wrong for me to bump this right so I finally convinced my mom and dad to get it for me, there really busy with work so they didn't have the time to go out and get it back in January when I first asked for it. Anyways great dvd I loved it, all the bonus features were awesome as well. So anyways I was watching it and I noticed something during I'm Alive when she goes "for the rest of my life" she high fives the dancer pulls the mic away or isn't singing however you describe it and then it goes "oh baby" oh ya this happens within like 5 seconds but the description sounds alot longer. but she's not singing anyone notice that or is it just my dvd going weird. I don't mean the song isn't live but could it just be bad editing?

[Jacqui]

Could someone please explain something?

When Celine feeds Rene the jello...what was funny about that? I totally don't get it.

[celinefanonline]

Rene's facial expression!! lol

 

anyway i want the last show... and the 03 one!! lol

[Jacqui]

Oh...ok...but what was it, like, an alcoholic drink, or Jello like the squishy food you give kids? Cuz I thought it was a drink, but Celine seemed to be squeezing it out of the cup.

And she told him it was jello, and later he was like "oh, it's jello."

I thought that this dvd was brilliant. I loved watching the concert. I think my favorite performances were I Wish, I've Got the World On A String and I Surrender. I also loved the Seduces Me number, it beyond amazing. The All Access pass was pretty neat to watch. I loved the part at the end where the water things scares her, that made me laugh. I hope that the Taking Chances dvd is as good or better than this is.
