September 10, 2008 - Newark, NJ (Prudential Center)

[stevethefan]

A word of advice when buying some of the souvenirs, always look it over before you take it. I bought a program, and the inside is fine but the back of the cover and some of the front has some scratches. I should have had them swap it. Also I bought this electric candle, which has a photo on the side of it but the photo has a part that's kind of worn. It's ok, but check the stuff out first.

[idroveallnight]

I'm in the process of uploading some of my photos and videos.

 

Overall the concert was amazing. Celine was in such great vocal shape. Every song blew me away. The beginning of TPOL was beautiful, I was just speechless during Alone, I'm Alive was the best live version I ever heard... every moment was just awesome.

 

Now as for the crowd: if any non-forum member who attended the show yesterday evening are browsing through this forum by chance, I have one message for you: you should be ashamed of yourselves. The best singer in the world and of our lifetime was in your presence and none of you even had the decency to acknowledge her by giving her a standing ovation or even giving her a loud applause. She was standing on the runway right by section E, people were literally a few inches from her, and they just sat there recording her on their crummy cell phones instead of reaching out to her or getting up and dancing along with her. Pitiful, just pitiful. They were just sitting there like it was a library or a business meeting. It was not until she sang MHWGO that you even knew that it was a concert and even then the audience was still under anesthesia.

 

At the end of the show I sprinted from section C to section A where Celine exited from and I experienced the best moment of my life. She walked past me and I grabbed her hand as she put it out and told her how much I loved her and she kind of let go and I grabbed on again and I told her how much I loved her again and she looked right in my eyes and said "I know, I know" in the most sweetest way. I still can't believe I was face to face with her for a few seconds that felt like eternity. I'll never erase that image from my memory and it's a moment I will carry with me forever. Thank God Christine and Ramona were there to sustain me because I was shaking hysterically after. That night confirmed to me that angels are here on earth all around us.

That picture has to be from a new york hotel. I couldn't see Celine staying anywhere in NJ when she's only a 15..maybe 20 minute drive to New York. I do think though, that she'll stay in Jersey for her Atlantic City show because it's further away from the city. Plus Rene can play some poker. I don't understand though why she is always staying in such busy places all of the time. If I were her (I wish) I would want to stay in a nice quiet hotel outside of the city at times just to get some peace.

That's great to hear! I was hoping to be on the side she was exiting but I was on the opposite side at the shows I've been to. You are lucky!

[Koolan]

[SarahJB5]

WOW Kathy those are some great pictures...thanks so much for sharing them with us!!!

[Celinenvegas]

This is from the NY post. Does anybody recognize which hotel this is?

 

 

 

Did the article say she was at her hotel? To me it looks like she's leaving the venue because she's in the dress she wears to sing MHWGO. You can't even tell what kind of building that is in the pic, it's too small and it's dark.

I think I took close to 90 shots and they all came out worthless. Here's a few decent ones.

[idroveallnight]

It's A Man's World

 

 

I'm uploading a few more.

 

Sorry for the sucky quality.

[Celinenvegas]

I had my camera in my bag but it was covered and they didn't say anything. The only signs I saw there said no "flash" photography and many were taking pics with flash all nite - including me.

[anget64]

ok thank you!

maybe i shall just put it in a makeup bag or something

i doubt they will look inside a bag in my bag

[Koolan]

Even if they see the camera, they would allow it... you don't need to worry.

Yea, and go in from the right side. They will ask you to go in through the left main entrance or VIP entrance but don't. They were scrutinizing their bags down there.

[autumnskies00]

I also went in on the right side and my camera was clearly visable in my purse. They didn't say a word about it.

 

Does anyone know how much the Pour Que Tu...shirts are?

[idroveallnight]

Love Can Move Mountains

 

 

Again, sorry for the quality.

[idroveallnight]

Between $35-$40... I remember the program was $35, posters were $10, keyrings were $15.

[autumnskies00]

SHEEESH. Like a billion doller tickets aren't enough

[idroveallnight]

All By Myself

 

 

I'll upload more tomorrow.
