New Celine CBS TV Special 2008 - That's Just The Woman In Me - 2-15-2008

[tonybower]

If you want to go to a LIVE concert, why don't you go to a Madonna or Brit concert??? NOT!!!

 

Because Madonna and Brit are known for her shows and not for their voices!

 

 

You know, that's what I'm talking about... The concerts have not started YET, and people are already criticizing Celine LOLOLOLOLOL... you see, wait and see, then criticize... maybe it will be LIVE, maybe it will be playback, nobody knows... there is no need for criticism now... I just said seeing Celine would worth every single cent for me, if it doesn't for you, well...that's not my business.... Really, If I were some of you, I wouldn't go to the concert... really, you will go there, and then come back with lots of compaints and criticism... that's a pitty...

 

I agree completely. It seems to me that many people are going to these concerts with the expectation of being disappointed and not only is that unfair on Celine, they are also being hard on themselves since they have spent the money on tickets.

The Playback furor should stop right now...! I think we can agree that Celine was either ill or tired or just nervous when she came to the UK and did X-Factor and Audience With... because the following week, she was singing live in Paris and all or many of her US appearances were LIVE... Why everybody is losing faith and being so critical I do not know.

 

Celine may not be the same singer she was ten years ago but she still has an incredible talent. And it seems to me that while some fans are being critical, Celine is finally getting the respect and recognition she deserves. I'm thinking mainly about the UK press and the articles we have seen in this forum. She was criticised in the past for being soulless and this was largely due to her self-discipline and perfect technical control. Now that she has mellowed she is singing with more true emotion and appealing to more people... and even impressing the Celine-critics of the past. Her new voice is much more human and Celine is now happy.

 

Personally, I think Celine's happiness is much more important than a faultless, super-human vocal performance.

Dude, that's it... that' what counts the most for me... But, as our friend said, "no, I am just jealous"... I am going to commit suicide because Celine isn't coming to Brazil LOLOLOLOL After the "jealous" thing, gee, I realized I couldn't care less for what some people have to say.. I am going to see Celine, live or playback, it doesn't matter... and it will worth FOR ME..... That's all I have to say...

I totally agree.......I think it is time we all sat back and enjoyed Celine's career and the success she is enjoying NOW ...... she IS an amazing talent and a thrill to see live or when she appears on the TV. She has worked tirelesly over the years to reach this point where she can have a family life and still enjoy performing. She could so easily pack in completely and how sad I would be if she decided to do that. I support her 100% in planning her career in a way that she can have this family life, save her voice, and continue to give us the opportunity to see her on occasions. Please let's stop annalysing every performance in such minute detail....lets ENJOY.

[Paulinha Dion]

Thanks for the pics, wonderful !

[Shesings2me]

Wow...this was the most intense, heated, and emotional thread I've experienced so far on this forum! Because we are human we feel love, we feel anger, we feel pain...and so much more, so go ahead and feel people...it's what we do!

 

What others say will not sway me from the woman who sings to me, who moves me, who thrills me...because she's true to herself, loyal to her family, and has worked so damn hard for so many damn years to bring us so very, very many magical musical moments, and I wholeheartedly appreciate everything. I am again going to be grateful to be in the same building as the sweet, sexy Celine when she graces yet another stage, another city, and the lives of those who appreciate a legend!!

 

For those of you who pointed out that Celine is a mother now...you are right on track with why it might seem to others that Celine doesn't care anymore. Celine CARES very much, but she cares more about the life she and Rene created and making sure that RC gets what he needs before what her fans need. If it was the other way around, there would be something seriously wrong, and then you'd really have something to worry about.

 

Take her or leave her, but if you leave her they'll be more fans lining up to replace you. I suggest you stay and enjoy the ride. It's fun, it's exciting...and...and...you know you want it!!!!!!

[sgcpc]

thank u for all the hot hot hot pix!!!!!! haha thx a lot!

[clorac]

Love the pics -- thank you!! Looking forward to The Prayer with JG, Something with Joe Walsh and Celine!! Sounds like it'll be a great show that many will watch. Edited January 18, 2008 at 10:36 AM by clorac

[firebird]

I like how this is running out of hands. From live/playback debate to private life vs. career debate, from apples to oranges

Sure, I too thought it was going to be an album special, but Celine's a routinier in those variety specials. The mix is the usual: new songs, hit songs, one or two classics (even if I don't know how well Something is know to the US public, but playing Beatles can always be called "classic) and celebrity duets.

[kathy4]

i can't wait to see the special.

[CelineFreak]

Here's what i have to say about the Live vs playback on YouTube....skip to 4:00 if you don't wanna watch the whole thing. I start talking about the show in general around 3:00.

thank you soooo much for the pics u dnt know how much they mean to me!!! u clearly brought back my memory from that night. what a magical night she looked amazing and was amazing as alwayss!! thanks alot!!! =]

[salsacolin]

I only want to give my 2 cents worth about the live verses lipping thing but people need to take a look back a bit more.

 

Look at the promo for TTWII - NONE of the Euro performances were live and only some of the US ones were (Oprah, Rosie, Today show) Billboard awards was lipped - so was the ATW Special - so how is this different to Taking Chances promo.

 

again look at ANDHC - same again - NONE of the European performances were live - only some US ones and again not all

 

Most of the Euro MHWGO and IYA promo was the same. Celine only sung live 3 times on Top Of The Pops - Beauty and The Beast, Think Twice and the first time she sang Only One Road (which does anyone have by the way????) Rumour was that she damaged the sound system on that final performance and the BBC didn't allow her to sing live since but who knows....

 

None of this damaged her career.

 

Remember even the UNISON Special was lipped 17 years ago

[Terre]

Thank you so much for the pics! Céline looks so hot and beautiful!

[LVCeline]

I really think the reason everyone is angry at her for lip synching is because we love her so much! Nobody here hates Celine for it, but you have to know everyone isn't going to react the same to dissapointment. Personally I live for the moments when I can see her perform, because it's not something we get to see everyday, or a lot of times even fairly often. I listen to her voice every single day, and cannot tell you how excited I get when I learn she's going to have an entire special or even just an appearance to hear her incredible voice live! So when we wait all this time, and then just get a lipped special with the same versions we hear on the cd over and over again, it's beyond dissapointing, and some people will be understanding of that, and some are going to be a bit more irritated by it, nobody can expect all of us, even though we all love Celine dearly, to be understanding of the situation. Kind of like when you say things in anger to a spouse, you still love them, you just don't control the anger as well as you could or should. There's a reason we can all have our opinions here, and they can be different, because we are not sheep. We don't just all follow a leader mindlessly. It's good to have different opinions! Keep in mind you won't always get positive opinions, but you have to just let those go if you don't enjoy them and realize it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about Celine, it only matters how you feel about her and what she does to you personally.

And don't forget many songs were lipped in ''THESE ARE SPECIAL TIMES'' SPECIAL such ''The Power of love'' ''O Holy Night'' ''The Prayer''... and yes 90% of the songs in the ATW SPECIAL in 1999 were lipped. Also in the LTAL Tour many songs were lipped such ''The Power of love'', ''Treat her like a lady'', ''The Reason'', ''To love you More'' '' Live for the one I Love''
