Celine's comeback to Las Vegas - March 2011

[Prince Whiskers]

We have to face facts though, it gonna be tough for Celine to put out a studio album of brand new material and have a big hit. TC was a great piece of work and Celine promoted it, she went on many shows and still radio in the US was NOT warm to it - even the AC stations let her down.

 

wrong singles, no well-made music videos, no formidable hype....basically a lack of real support from Sony

 

Celine wanted the will.i.am remix as a single but there was that lame copyright-issue excuse by her label.

Ya i love Vegas too, its my favourite place in the world! its unbelievable! with celine there it will be even more good!!! Edited August 25, 2009 at 04:57 PM by takeachance

[Nando Férri]

Here's praying to God she doesn't do yet another career crashing send-me-in-oblivion 5 years at Las Vegas, giving exclusivity to her non stop greatest hits performances to people from the US and (only) rich international fans....

Another good point.

Normally I'd be one of the first to blame Sony but I thought they supported "Taking Chances" quite well to be honest. Adverts, pushed the singles to radio, posters etc were all present for the album.

 

The real issue with that album was the same boring and risk free choices being made again. Whoever chose "Taking Chances" as the first single needs firing. ANOTHER cover by Celine and the first 90 seconds don't sound anything new for Celine. 2nd single, in the US anyway, "Alone" - ANOTHER cover. Whoopdedo. This album was initially promoted as a "fresh new sound" for Celine and for any critics the singles proved nothing and certainly the songs Celine sung on her promotional tour were useless. Frankly, "One Heart" was more daring than "Taking Chances." Of course it wasn't but none of the new sounding songs got ANY promotion.

 

At least Sony UK had the guts to go ahead and release "Eyes On Me" even probably knowing it was unlikely to be a hit. Radio 2 played the song, they released a physical single but there was no video or other widespread promotion. Result = flop.

 

We are getting dangerously close to 10 years without a hit single for Celine and that will remain the problem until a radical change of direction is chosen, believed in and then stuck to.

[Tyler1991]

I agree. Taking Chances would have been better suited being third or fourth single. Like you said, the first half is so slow and people will think, "Oh god, typical boring Celine Dion. Change the station." If Fade Away, Shadow Of Love, and others were released first, people would have been more inclined to pay attention to all of TC.

 

Additionally, Celine only really promoted TC. Alone was performed a few times, but that is about it. If the amount of promotion that was put into TC was also put into all singles, then I think there could have been a hit (had there have been good single choices).

[celinesounds]

I hope they have learned with the mistakes with TC and Vegas

 

and I pray for a real comeback next year or 2011 with a good promotion and something fresh

[Shamrock_1982]

I agree Shaun...

 

And also the video for ''TC'' was by far one of her best music videos, Sony UK really supported and promoted this album, its just unfortunate the other Sony branches from around the globe didnt spend the same time, effort and money, and actually 'try'' and get behind it also......

[MTJ]

As to why people are wondering why it isn't confirmed, we have to remember last time, the pain and pressure Celine went through while making the Vegas decision, and how long it took her to finally be happy with the whole situation. Now that she has this news, she is probably going through that again!

[Shamrock_1982]

Yeah but.... shes been here before and I'm sure she/they will make decisions differently now because of being through the same scenario when A new day... was in its early stages and she became pregnant...

 

She/they now know what to expect, she already has a house there, a relationship with Caesars, lots of experience of performing there, and we already know that when she does go back it will only be 70 or so shows a year for maybe two years, so shes free to do other things....

 

Caesars are desperate to have her back, and Celine and Rene know how successful they have been there and can be there again, so really the ball is totally in there court.

 

They have said themselves, they no longer care about chart positions, they have been there and done that, they want to try new things and break new records!

 

Remember.... the best is yet to come

 

Darren.

[Shaun]

The difference between Celine and Sony though Darren is that Sony should be caring about chart positions. They are her record company and for them it's all about sales whether Celine and Rene care about them or not.

 

The fact remains that Celine's singles continue to perform poorly in nearly all territories globally and Sony need to look into why for Celine's next release which is likely to be 2-3 years from now.

 

However ironic the "Taking Chances" title was, the fact is few chances were in fact taken and the same "safe" choice were made and the album quickly vanished from the charts.

[Shamrock_1982]

Yeah....

 

I think they only now care about album sales regarding Celine...

They dont seem interested in singles/ single positions/ music videos or single downloads...

 

I think Celine has fallen into the Barbra category...

A living legend, whos had loads of success, money, awards, whos had her day at the top, made her mark in history, and now has taken a back seat to new arrivals to the music bussiness, as her priorities have changed and the music bussiness has changed since her two years off.... and who now performs to her die hard fans ( vegas / world tour ) to earn more dosh, and shes happy doing it, as there is alot of us and we'll pay anything to see her, and buy her music/merchandise etc, and because she still loves to perform!

And has done bloody well through doing this....

 

Well thats my opinion!

 

Darren.

[one_heart_1_hart]

Yes but Celine's not well promoted albums are still one of the best solds of their artists...

So why put all the promotion up Celine's albums sell themselfs...

Her fanbase is big enough....

[Shaun]

Yep, would pretty much agree with that Darren. It's a shame to see though as clearly the public is still interested in Celine and her music. The record books will show her as the biggest selling female artist, just sadly with a not too great record when it comes to singles which, as a fan, isn't a great feeling.

 

However as you say there's loads to be proud of Celine for and we'll all continue following her.

[Davey84]

damn I don't want Céline in the Barbra category yet! she's way too young and energetic to be in there!

 

I agree with you all, but I think the main reason why TC didn't go as it should have, was the poor single choiced, the lack of videos and the way the songs were presented during the tour. The problem with Sony is, that a view high chiefed people decide what to do. On the 'promo sticker' of TC it clearly states; with the songs TC, A and EOM (btw is was some sony director who said céline should record Alone ) so clearly they knew which songs they wanted to presend as singles all a long, despite the fact that her fans went crazy over FA! OH might be more 'adventureous' for Céline, I think TC suits her way better, though I wouldn't have put ASFY on it, and give MTMH a more prominent place... TC had an awesome video, but I still hate it, that she had time to record a commercial for Sensation, but didn't have the time to shoot a video for EOM!

 

and if you look at the tour; TC was all right, not that special, but ALone and EOM has stunning visual effects, but SOL and FA were just announced as; here are some new songs for you'. basta, nothing... Now Céline never did talk much about her current album on tour, but she could have said something about having a new album out in 4 years! Plus I think that she could have gone on a few big tv shows during her tour. She was almost a week here in the netherlands, but she didn't give one interview! that's just stupid!

 

In her french carreer just the same! Why were her last no 1 hits not performed?!? TLDH was only sang once, though it was sooo cool! and JNVOP wasn't even sung! I love that she sang Destin, DUAM etc, but it would have been way cooler and better if she performed AC, Le temps qui compte and ne bouge pas instead!

Which brings me to Vegas, I fear that if she goes back to vegas, it will be AND part 2, with the same boring setlist and the same boring songs. I think they should start to make a show from scretch and not think about what songs old grannies and housewifes want to hear! I think artisticly it would be way better if Céline did a long french tour again and not even think about having to 'sing' MHWGO at the end of a show!

Unfortunately, that's never going to happen. Though Celine and Rene insist they are singing and doing this for the fans, her last tour clearly shows this is not the case. It was A New Day Part 2 with some random songs thrown around. They are still trying to please the casual listeners, but why do they wanna do this? The casual listener will buy My Love/All the Way and go to one concert. Die-hard fans will go to 2-3 concerts at a time. Making concerts more affordable and changing up the setlist will make the die-hards wanna come back, and it may bring new fans in.

 

People say that when they go to a concert, they don't wanna nhear songs they don't know, so that's why the same setlist is used. Excuse me, unless the tour is called "Greatest Hits Tour" or "So and So Performs the Hits", you should friggin' expect to hear a LOT of new material. They could've called the TC Tour "Celine Sings the Hits" and it would be appropriate. Almost every other artist performs a lot of new material so why should people like Celine be exempt from it? She's too young to be put into the Barbra category. She still has at least 10-15 years of good success left in her. Look at Madonna, she's 51 and can STILL get worldwide hits. And she sings a LOT of new material, and always changes up her old songs.

 

Maybe Celine will see how well fans responded to the new I'm Alive, and decide to change other songs.

[Davey84]

I totally agree

 

Mego said before the tour that they would change the music of the old songs; nothing

Mego said he and rené spends nights thinking to come up with the perfect setlist for Montreal, and what do they add? LAEE?!

I think Mego is a great musician, but either he doesn't get any freedom, or he's getting to old to be head of céline's band

[Claudette]

The only thing I didn't like about Vegas was that after 2003 Celine's voice turned so nasally! Her voice was terrible on the A New Day CD and it's still nasally now after the tour. I hope when Celine returns after she has her baby, her voice will sound great again like it did when she returned in 2002...

 

OMG !

 

1. You people keeps on talking about a cd ( A new day) that was recorded almost 10 years ago! Amazing...

 

2. Still nasally after the tour? Did Celine do a private show especially for u? Because as far as I know, except Star Ac where her voice was fine, she hasn't do anything! So tell us , share your experience : where did u hear Celine's actual voice.

 

I beg you!

 

Ok, I meant during the tour, not after.

 

Happy now?

 

Are you sure we saw the same tour? Sometimes I think some people just learnt a new word... To tell you the truth, I think Celine's voice just became ''fuller'' and more powerful during Vegas.

 

And why are we discussing the promotion thing and set lists again. We don't even know if Celine is going to do Vegas or not. Why don't we just wait and see what happens before we start complaining...

Im really sorry but i really disagree with you here. On tour there were pleantly of new songs, song that celine neaver sang before! I was really impressed with the tour! Look how many new songs there were:

 

Taking Chances

Alone

Eyes On Me

Fade Away

Shadow Of Love

My heart will go on Remix

Im Alive Remix

A Mans World

I Got The Feelin

Soul Medely

The Show Must Go On

My Love

I drove All Night Remix (intro)

The Prayer

 

Songs that Celine diddnt perform in Vegas and she diddnt sing in a while:

 

Im Your Angel

All By Myself

 

So Basiclly you are moaning about Celines greatest Known songs which personlly a celine concert couldnt do without. Thes songs make the show because these are the songs that people know:

 

I Drove All Night

Its All Comign Back To Me Now

To Love You More

Because You Loved Me

Power Of Love

My Heart Will Go On

River Deep (Which may i add, was a great song on tour)

Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore

Love Can Move Mountains

 

So out of nearly 25 songs you are complaining about 9 older songs which were the songs that made celine who she is today! The Tour Was Great i carnt belive anybody could complain, i couldnt belive how many songs she sang when i saw her. Vegas Is going to happen and when it does i sure will go to see her! The setlist will be great!

 

sorry but it angers me that people are moaning about a great show which had 14 songs neaver performed songs on tour before or were remixed up and felt fresh!

 

I went to the Britney Spears Circus Tour and i thought the show was really good, but what really spoilt it for me was that all of her songs other that a couple wher all remixed up. her most known and best songs were all remixed up and it diddnt feel like they were the same songs i loved years back. If she would have done a tour like celines and remix maybe a few of the songs it would have been better!

 

Sorry but its how i feel

First off, the MHWGO remix and IDAN remix weren't even performed. They were intros/interludes, so how do they even count? Second, I don't see how a cover counts as it's not promoting her ALBUM. So that leaves us with TC, Alone, EOM, My Love, Fade Away, and Shadow of Love. 6 album tracks and only 2 of them non-singles. And FA and SOL were shortened. By "new" songs I mean songs from her new album.

 

I'm "moaning" about them because it's the same old arrangements, same old everything. Personally, I think the other two songs that "need" to be performed at a Celine concert are MHWGO and BYLM. Maybe someone can make an argument for TPOL, but even then that's only 3. IACBTMN and TLYM aren't "needed", because MHWGO and BYLM are her only two songs that have been enormous smashes. The other ones were hits but not smashes.

 

The songs don't even have to be totally remixed. It's not like i'm asking for an electro-pop version of MHWGO. How about acoustic arrangements of the songs with only Celine and a piano, or only Celine and a guitar? That's simple enough to keep die-hards attention, and enough to the root of the song to please casual fans. Is it that hard to ask for? Personally I feel this is her worst tour, for those reasons and others. But that's just my opinion. I'm able to enjoy A New Day because it was never a secret that the show was built around her greatest hits. With the TC Tour they made all these promises about new songs and new arrangements for older songs, and.....well, we all saw what went down.

[ladylindsey]

I was very pleased with the setlist from the TC tour Lots of new songs from the album and the medleys, plus my favorites from Céline. I had a blast! But I do think a new show should be completely amazing with a good balance of the old, and some unexpected new stuff They will work it all out over the break.

So you are telling me that you would rather the show to have only new songs other than two old sings and make all the fans missout on seing celine sing her biggest hits which some of us may i add couldnt see her in vegas. What the hell could she have sang which was new? The best songs on tacking chances she sang! What else do you want? Celine did this for us, the fans, she was making sure that we had fun and that she played our fav songs as well as the pile of new songs she sang! Why diddnt she just cut out all the old songs and have her sing for an hour? Because she wanted to give us a great show! How can you complain about a tour which was the second biggest tour of 2008? It must have been good to millions of fans across the world! The taking chances tour was the best concert i have ever seen in my life! Why say is is the worst concert? Doesnt it match up with Miss Carey who hasnt toured recently at alll?

Ok, I try not to generalize when it comes to large groups(especially when i'm included in the group), but why is it that so many Celine fans choose to bring Mariah into something to defend a Celine point? People need to give up the war between them. If your point is strong enough you shouldn't need to diss another artist to emphasis it. They are two completely different artists and are great in their own respects. So bringing her into this was completely unnecessary.

 

Anyway, back to the point. Some of the best on TC was not sung! Surprise Surprise? This Time? A couple other songs were performed but they were cut after a few dates, so I don't validate them as being really part of the ongoing setlist. I'd like a setlist with half new songs, the two-three hits that need to be sung, and how about some rare songs that have never been performed? She has hits prior to The Power of Love. Where Does My Heart Beat Now, Beauty and the Beast, Nothing Broken But My Heart, etc. She can sing those. Or she can even sing non-album tracks from older albums to REALLY shock the crowd. It's not that hard to be diverse with setlists. And just because a tour is successful, doesn't mean it has to be liked by everyone. I appreciate her other tours more, and this is my own personal opinion.

[Moleque20]

IMO, Celine should return to LV for 1-2 years with a brand new production, not with the same setlist for other 4-5 years! But in a few years, not the next year! And by the way the TC tour was AWESOME!

[Nmj]

No I agree some of the older songs have to be performed

but not all of them, the only ones absoluty needed are "Because You Loved Me" and "My heart will go on"

 

I drove all night, its all coming, to love you more, the power of love, Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore, Love Can Move Mountains, all could have been cut. and added songs like Thats the way it is, Think Twice, Fade Away + Shadow of Love (FULL), A new day has come (Radio), You and I, Where does my heart beat now, Declaration of Love, The Reason and so on Just my thoughts they must do something with that setlitst before returning to vegas or even a tour.

[Moleque20]

All I have to say is SHE has a large role to play when she goes back to LAS VEGAS to please us fans.

 

 

You mean USA+rich fans...

[Tyler1991]

TPOL, TLYM and IACBTMN can be replaced with If You Asked Me To, Beauty And The Beast, Where Does My Heart Beat Now.

 

Love Can Move Mountains can be replaced with either Misled or Declaration Of Love (and whichever replaces it needs to be LIVE; never understood why those two songs were always lipped).

 

Other great songs which should be added:

Water From The Moon

Nothing Broken But My Heart

The Last To Know

Unison

Think Twice (full schedule)

[MTJ]

I, too, am getting tired of the IACBTMN, BCYLM, TLYM medley. TLYM was only a hit in Japan for goodness sakes!

[duri]

Céline finished show A new day 15.12.2007 and world tour began 14.2.2008, only 2 months for prepare show, so I think that this is also a reason why so many songs from A new day was on setlist of world tour. I agree that she can sing more new french songs in french leg of tour, I was very surprised that she sing in Paris only ESILRQU, but I thing that in so short time she can´t prepare more new songs. Anyway I thing the tour was amaizing and very succsesfull, second-best tour of year, after Madonna, it´s big thing.

I agree that she can sing more new french songs in french leg of tour, I was very surprised that she sing in Paris only ESILRQU, but I thing that in so short time she can´t prepare more new songs. Anyway I thing the tour was amaizing and very succsesfull, second-best tour of year, after Madonna, it´s big thing.

 

but if you look at the tourbook, you see songs, that were prepared, but not sung! Like Je lui dirai. Plus it's a big shame and disgrace that That's just the woman in me was cut and CFTF! blah! I rather had those songs instead of IYA and TP! Plus if you look at the footage for Sur les plaines, you see that céline only had a few days to prepare totally new songs for her, for just one concert.... if it were her own songs, that she would be performing many times during a tour, it would be much easier to prepar and add!

Davey 84, yes maybe you are right, maybe Céline´s team didn´t want to risk ( what was a msitake, I thing), so they prefered known songs. By the way, in Sur les plaines concert, songs which she sung alone, were also her "old" songs like on world tour. She sung new songs as duets.
