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

Posted December 12, 2007 at 03:23 PM · December 12, 2007 at 03:23 PM

Can somebody, PLEASE, explain one thing from the DVD's part "Secrets" ? I saw in a trailer on YouTube, that Franco Dragone said :

"For the first three years (...) with Celine I could not stay more than 10 minutes in the theatre, because it was really for me... I could not breathe, I had really panick attack."

WHY did he have "panick attack" ?!? Did he explain this situation in more details in the DVD ? This one sentence in the trailer is very confusing. :hmm: I will not get the DVD until New Year at least, so I'm really curious about that. Thanks !

After looking at the behind the scenes in real time of the show, I was really impressed at the access that Celine and Rene gave to the fans. Even to the point of going into Celine's dressing room and watching her change costumes. Woh! :blushing1: At first thought I said hmmm, they must have a female camera technician on this job cause Celine got pretty naked pretty fast. Then, I noticed a male camera man standing there as well. kudos buddy. :thumbsup2: A comment my wife made was "Celine really doesn't wear much on stage does she?" Nope. One layer thin I suspect.

That was such a great video. You actually felt that you were at home in Lake Las Vegas and back stage watching it all. They really meant "All Access." this is a precedent setting video for it's type. I have never seen any other celebrity do so much.

I also noticed that the show that was going on during this video seemed to be of a little better quality (clarity) than the show used for the regular DVD. This was apparently the last show before she went on her month long break last February. I especially enjoyed going home with Celine and Rene after the show. that was cool. I just wish they would have asked us to spend the night.

I did time the show and there seemed to be a few minutes cut out somewhere. The DVD timed in at 1:26 and the show has always been 90 minutes when I have been there. Celine usually does chat a little with the audience at the shows and I really did not see that in the video. The only extra talk was in the usual scripted places. I am surprised she did not mention it was the last year etc. Anyone there for the taping, was there anything edited out?

I am loving this DVD. The concert was AWESOME. Were you expecting something else? ;-)

Because You Loved Me part is so sweet. It made me tear up a few times. Watching other fans with the same loving emotions for our Celine, finally getting to meet her. Awwwwwwwwww.

All Access: It really makes you appreciate all the hard work everyone has to go through for a show like this. And OMG @ Celine. How she can rush from custome change to stage and not lose composure is beyond me. Watching the behind the scenes made me even more appreciate of the concert.

The Secrets: I knew most of the secrets already based on previous interviews already, so I wasn't entired impressed with this section.

Overall, the DVD is a must have!

Faith...Trust...Love,

I've watched a Tribute to the Fans and The Secrets - and both were great. I'm holding off on the concert until I see it in theatres. I know it won't be like being there. I will never forget seeing that amazing show in person - but I'm thankful to have a document to look at.

The part that really stood out to me was when Celine and Rene talked about her short hair. First of all, I didn't realize Rene disliked her short hair so much - and Celine wasn't really joking about it at all. She seemed really hurt by the fact that people hated it. I mean - I understand her pain - but it's not like her to be so honest. I LOVED how honest she was when she spoke about the show and her life on the DVD.

I wanted more interviews with the dancers - not just the same couple the whole time. Although, I liked what they had to say.

I was SO impressed with the Fans tribute. Very well done and a lot of time was obviously spent. Celine was so genuine to each of them, and that draws us closer to her.

Anyway - I'll respond more later. I'm very happy with the bonus material. BUT I really wanted all the songs that have been removed from the show another bonus feature....

He was referring to every time he saw her with her short blonde haircut. :mdr: :mdr:

No. What happened was - Celine got sick a couple weeks before A New Day was going to open. And this was supposed to be the hardcore rehearsal time for her to really get in with the show. So, they had to rehearse without her. So when opening night came, no one was prepared. And that's why Dragone was so nervous.

Celine thought that she had nothing to lose. She would just do it, and if it didn't succeed, then she could sell it all and go be a full time Mom.

Then - after the first several shows - they would listen to the comments of the audience members. And they said that Celine didn't need all the dancers and spectacle. They were primarily there for her voice. So they ended up making some changes to the show - focusing more on Celine as the centerpiece.

I haven't watched the concert yet but have seen the show many times so there won't be any surprises there.

I did watch the Tribute to the fans and CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIED! God she just has such a sweet presence about her. It was so emotional to see all those different fans have the same emotions that I do and for them to get to meet her and express that to her in person was just so touching. Estevam is sooooooooooooo cute and when he was speaking french to her I just couldn't hold my composure, it was just so sweet. She truly has such an amazing soul and spirit, she's not just a singer. It made me so sad to know that this amazing journey is ending in just a few days. It's been a part of my life for the last 5 years as well and it's going to be so hard to let that go! It's the end of an era. Thank god she's touring next year.

The All Access was so awesome! I didn't expect them to show an entire concert behind the scenes so I couldn't finish the whole thing due to time but the costume changes were crazy to see! I can't believe those people see Celine naked like that every night, just like nothing! Weird. But I love how the dancers just carry on backstrage during the show. So neat to see all the different things that happen while we're out there before the show. I loved seeing before and after the show too, from them leaving to go to the Colliseum and then going home after. That's the stuff we don't get to see so that's the best part for me.

The Secrets portion didn't leave me with any memory actually. I'm sure I loved it but it didn't stand out like the other 2 did. Overall the extra's are just brilliant. Worth the price of the DVD for just those, if I had to buy the concert separate I would feel it's totally worth it. Actually at 12.99 I feel like they're getting the short end of the stick!

Exactly that is the reason!

OH MY GOSH! I just watched the fan tribute and all the fan's stories were so touching but Estavam just made me cry so hard! He made me remember why I wanted to learn french: to be able to understand Celine's french songs. I need to go compose myself now! lol! :crybaby:

Posted December 12, 2007 at 07:43 PM · December 12, 2007 at 07:43 PM

I finally got my copie(s) today! (one for my mother in law for christmas

) So far I only watched the fan tribute because I`m at work, but it was SO touching! its so amazing to see people from this board immortalized on a DVD. I feel like I know them you know? It made me cry to think of the effect that Celine has on so many people.

Hello to all… I appear, I am of the Spanish section of this great diva of the music that is Celine Dion, and want to do a consultation to them with respect to the DVD To “A New Day Live In Las Vegas”.

Alive in Chile, the DVD has lamentably not been sent in my country and therefore I want it to request to the United States, but I want to know if the DVD that is commercialized in that country brings subtitles in Spanish… please would be thankful that they clarified my doubt.

Hello Yes, it is subtitled in Spanish.

Posted December 12, 2007 at 09:58 PM · December 12, 2007 at 09:58 PM

Well, I gotta say----I am so excited to get this!!! But I won't watch the concert portion until I see it in the movie theatre.

"Because you loved me"

was so touching! I wish I could have been one of them! Each person looked so thrilled, and Celine is so real. She's so fun, too. Can you imagine going out with her? There wouldn't be a dull moment. I am glad I know French! That helped!

"Secrets"

WOW!

I loved this part. Very up close and personal. Celine is very real here, honest, and gorgeous. People can eat one if they don't like her blond hair. I really hope we can see that footage in its' entirety someday. I really love some of those dropped songs. Her crew seems so fun! I love when she goes back stage and goofs around with the facial. She's so gorgeous. The scene where she talks about losing her dad is very touching. I almost shed a tear for that.

Celine---je t'aime.

I just got the DVD the other day I haven't seen it yet, but I will get to it after this post. Now that I've seen your reviews on it. I'm glad that I bought it. Well I'm going to what the Secrets portion for now. The concert part on the other hand. I'll see it at the movies. Edited December 12, 2007 at 11:29 PM by blue.grave

Franco was talking about the first time he rehearsed with Celine at the colosseum. He said he was having a lot of anxiety from putting on sucha big show, that he had to leave after 10 minutes at the first rehearsal.

Well I got a chance to watch the whole thing last night and just could not have hoped for anything better! The entire package is just the best you could imagine it to be and more. I'm so impressed I can't say! They captured the show PERFECTLY. River Deep Mountain High is by far the best song and performance in the show. There is so much energy, she sounded awesome, never looked sexier, the dancing was amazing, the lighting, just everything about it was beyond words for me. I'm not a huge fan of most of the vocals, but we won't go there for fear of scrutiny from a certain stalker

The whole experience was so great though, they should be so proud of the DVD, and the show itself.

Posted December 13, 2007 at 08:31 PM · December 13, 2007 at 08:31 PM

I love the DVD and have watched the whole thing. After just seeing the show last week, it was very cool to watch the All Access part and see how the show runs from behind the stage. A top notch production. Best $12.99 I've spent in a long time.

Posted December 13, 2007 at 09:05 PM · December 13, 2007 at 09:05 PM

Does anybody know if is it available in Mexico right now????

Posted December 15, 2007 at 07:11 PM · December 15, 2007 at 07:11 PM

If I Could (DVD performance only) is now one of Celine's most stunning performances!

Posted December 15, 2007 at 07:13 PM · December 15, 2007 at 07:13 PM

This concert is stunning. I've now spent my entire day just sitting in front of the TV. Amazing stuff.

Posted December 15, 2007 at 07:44 PM · December 15, 2007 at 07:44 PM

Don't know if its just me, but watching Vegas performances of the DVD bonus [My DVD hasn't arrived yet] I missed so much her emotion, her moves during the show. I decided to open a topic after seeing that one asking your favorite DVD.

You can take as example The Power Of Love. Oh my god, now it's so lack of emotion compared AP, ACDS and LIM!

Well, at least I can't say that about the opening night, where she was SO ALIVE!!

Go to the last part of the song, "the last LOOOVE". She looks lost, her eyes move from one side to other quickly! Thats strange :confused:

I just hope the old Celine returns to the World Tour!

Well, considering that I would sing this song to a playback track that is 15 years old I would be DEAD on stage right now. And Céline is even moving and kicking sometimes. Now that is what I call CtM (commitment to miming). I don't see a problem really.

Posted December 17, 2007 at 10:13 PM · December 17, 2007 at 10:13 PM

i dont know if the DVD is available in my country yet (i already bought TC album)... i guess we have to wait couple of days. BUT i got mine from FRANCE. WAW, but it is the french version which means, french booklet....

i saw the whole DVD for 5 consecutive hours and saw the secrets twice.

great job done by Productions J but i wish we had more Secrets in The Secrets Part.

my favourite songs are: IS, RDMH & MHWGO

I am wondering if they will release the Final Show on a DVD also later, maybe after couple of years.
