Here are a few pictures of her new opening dress from Ramona's and my collection. I lLOVE it Liliac, my favorite color.

 

Review to follow, ENJOY!!

 

 

 

Of course she does this when I'm not there anymore! Nice dress, maybe not as striking at first glance as the pink one, but it's still pretty! I'm glad you guys had fun! miss ya!

I found this article reviewing the first show on LI. I don't think it's been posted here:

 

 

Review: Celine Dion at Nassau Coliseum

BY GLENN GAMBOA | glenn.gamboa@newsday.com

September 14, 2008

 

Celine Dion performs the first of four area shows at Nassau Coliseum (JIN LEE / September 13, 2008)

 

 

 

In case all the video screens, the 10-foot high rotating pedestal, the massive, multitiered stage with mechanized walkways, and the platforms that move like turrets in some sort of Vegas pop musical castle didn't make the point, Celine Dion is a bit over-the-top.

 

She has 10 musicians, including a percussionist and a drummer, along with eight dancers and she's primarily known as a balladeer, OK?

 

There's nothing wrong with that, except sometimes less really is more. Dion doesn't get that all the vocal curlicues and extraneous loopiness of her performances -- the forearm slapping, the air punching, the quick kicks and, because the show is in the round, her odd 90-degree turns -- detract from the music.

 

Take the reworking of the already-bombastic 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now' unveiled during Saturday's 110-minute show at Nassau Coliseum. The original highlighted her magnificent voice and her incredible control. The 'improved' version makes her backing singers annoyingly 'ooh' and 'ahhh' as she delivers the verses.

 

 

 

 

 

Dion shines when she keeps things in check, as in the gorgeous duet 'The Prayer' with Andrea Bocelli, who performs his half on film, or the relatively understated 'Because You Loved Me.' Even 'Taking Chances,' the title track from her album and inspiration for the current tour, works by saving her booming voice for the song's walloping ending.

 

Dion knows how to make drama work for her, because she uses it to great effect in the weepy 'All By Myself' and in the finale 'My Heart Will Go On.' But so often, she oversells -- both when she talks and sings -- and oversteps, thinking her voice can transform anything.

 

Rock isn't good for her, especially not Queen's 'We Will Rock You.' Soul isn't her thing either, screeching her way through the last half of James Brown's 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World.'

 

Taking chances on material is all well and good, but Dion needs to deliver the payoff. When you're reaching that far over-the-top, the fall can be really far.

 

Celine Dion at Nassau Coliseum

 

When: Saturday night. Dion plays Madison Square Garden Sept. 15 and 16 and Nassau Coliseum again on Sept. 18.

 

BOTTOM LINE: A big-budget bonanza to match her big, big voice.
