well i was just srolling down the pagen and now i found this and i really can hardly belive what i read!!!

i honestly thought that its just me who feels that way. after waiting more then 10 years to see celine life and the its all over far,far too quickly...

IT HURTS A LOT deep inside and i didnt know what was wrong with me but now i dont know how i can get rid of this horrible feeling.

dont even know when the next time is that im gonna see her again and if i would have the money id try and go and see her in other countries but unfortunately i cant...

well at least i know im not the only one feeling this way and my only hope is that it will get better one day.

LOL...my friend doesn't understand this topic...

[aicee]

Glad I'm not the only one! Yeah the problem is that you never know when she'll tour again...and she's such as worldwide superstar that the chances of her coming near you again are far too small for my liking.

 

Watching DVDs and YouTube clips just isn't the same!

 

Thanks Jacqui, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel....

 

I feel your pain people, you are not alone

 

Though I haven't got the chance to watch her live. A big hug for you, i felt your emotion. We're getting emotional; here and I know this will continue specially on the last day of tour.

[Shesings2me]

Yup...just like someone else mentioned on here, I've been buying up everything Celine since seeing her in Vegas last year. I didn't think I had an addictive personality, but with Celine I'm a total junkie!!! The post Celine blues are nasty and hard for others around you to understand, so thank goodness we have each other. Because I'll be in Europe for the very first time, I think I'll be too busy after the May 27th show in Paris to let the blues kick in too deeply. But once home again in Canada, I'll be crying my little sad heart out to you all...until August comes and I see her in Montreal. I'll have to work on controlling my Celine collectibles buying though; afterall, where and when will it ever end?!!! Come to think about it....I hope it never does!!

[Jacqui]

You're right about people not understanding, unless they love Celine, and experience this. I was talking to my Aunt today- she went to Vegas last year (she's so lucky, and she doesn't even appreciate it!) and she was saying how she couldn't understand why so many fans were crying during and after the show and that it was really cheesy and all that. Made me mad. I would've made a bigger fight with her about it, but we were there to say goodbye to my dying Grandfather, so it didn't feel appropriate... Edited May 11, 2008 at 07:41 AM by Jacqui

OK... Blues setting in. Slowly but surely. It's been more than a month now. Sigh...

Sorry to hear about your grandfather Jacqui...I hope he makes it.

 

As for the post-gig blues, I'm sure I'll have a major case after the Paris show I'm going to...I'm thinking of buying a ticket for a second date to ease the pain (not a cheap method, but I guess somewhat effective)!

[hamiltonclare]

I (fortunately) still have one concert to go but am trying to get over the blues by trying to find a way to get to see her again. I think I have wangled Nice, would love to go to Krakow as its my birthday the day before and then am joining the Met Police so giving myself a month off of work before I start my new job. So I think rather than the scuba diving holiday I was going to treat myself to, I tihnk I'm going to have to make my way to the USA and catch a show (or 3) there. Right now, I'm thinking Philly, Washington and New York, but if anyone wants to join me, I'll happily adjust my schedule to accomodate.....!! I can't cope with another few years till she tours again...wow, I really AM starting to sound like a stalker!!

Jacqui - sorry about your Grandad, I know how you're feeling, I lost mine not so long ago too x

Some people just don't understand...

[Jacqui]

Aw thanks guys, that's sweet.

Yeah it just irritated me that she seemed to not appreciate her Celine experience at all

Hi all, I just saw Celine in Dublin, and don't really have an awful lot of hope to be able to get to any more of her shows in this tour. I feel absolutely rotten because I don't know when the next time I'll see her will be, or whether she'll ever be back in Ireland. After months of being so excited to see her, now I just have the dull nothingness of the next while without Celine - just feels like there's nothing to look forward to at all!

 

It's been said that Celine and Rene want to try to have another child after the tour ends right? So realistically after the tour ends it's gonna be another while until there's even the possibility of seeing her again, and that just sucks.

 

I mean I adore Celine, and I think, while it's clear she loves her fans, her greatest joy comes from her family. Sometimes I think I'd like her to be able to stop performing, and just enjoy the rest of her life with her family - I mean Rene is getting quite old, and they should be able to enjoy themselves without the stresses of performing. I want Celine to be happy above all else, but then I'd never get to see her again. It's the weirdest feeling wanting her to stop, yet not wanting her to stop at the same time. Does that make sense?

 

I just miss her.

[sangstar]

i was just watching vids from the concert i went to.. still one thought.. where was the violin at the start of my heart will go?!!

[Terre]

I've been suffering from a severe PGB for about 24 hours. I can't focus on anything and all I can think of is the fact that I won't be seeing Céline for a long, long time. I just wanna see her over and over again and get another chance to get an autograph. I miss her! I've been crying and I absolutely hate the way I feel right now! It drives me crazy! Seeing Céline again is the only thing that would make me feel better but it would only postpone the PGB. I knew I'd feel sad after my last Céline concert but I didn't expect it to be like this.

[zoea2812]

I know how you all feel. I feel like that and it has been over a month since the concert when I saw Celine. I wish i had the money to see her in America but just cant afford it. I am totally obsessed with everything Celine at the moment and i even dreamt about her last night.

[Un Rêve]

You mean the intro to MHWGO? That's a tin whistle. Elise is playing that. And if there's also a violin (I can't remember ) then Jean-Sebastien is probably in his usual place, maybe under the stage.

[zoea2812]

I WANT TO SEE CELINE AGAIN

[Terre]

So do I! It hurts so much to think that I won't be seeing her for many years!

[I Surrender]

I have to join in. I sooo wanna go to Germany this weekend and see some shows but I cant afford it at the mo

 

I was lucky enough to see 2 shows but I have some serious withdrawel symptoms. I miss her

Thank god for all those MP3 bootlegs

[n loves c]

Oh Thank You for bringing up this topic. I'm feeling this blues very much. The first morning after the concert, yesterday, was horrible. I didn't wanna wake up. Today was a bit better, now I can listen to Celine again without getting depressed. Not that much at least.. lol. I just try to think, it wasn't the last time I will ever see her. Hopefully. Also, there will be a DVD at some point so I will see this amazing show again. And I also know that this will pass, it'll take some days though. I wish happy feelings to all of you.

[celinestar]

It's about four and a half weeks ago now since i saw Celine in the UK and i want to see her again!!!!!!! and again, and again!!!!

I miss Celine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

and thankyou so much for this topic, every time after i've been lucky enough to see Celine i felt just how many of you have described and i really did think it was just me that felt like this so thankyou so much!

[venezia7]

its so nice to feel not alone. i had been waiting for so long for my concert and i was so unbeleivebly excited and i had the best night ever! i cried when she came out on stage because i was so happy... but as soon as she came out in the yellow dress to sing MHWGO i could not beleive it was nearly over already! and then walking out of the venue it was all over i was in a state of depression for the next few days sulking about how i might never get the chance to see her again. i tried so hard to remember everything but i can hardly remember any of it just little snippets.

 

I find that time helps and also telling yourself how lucky you were to go in the first place. Also remembering all the excitement leading up. Im looking forward to the DVD coming out as well.

[Nat27]

Exatly the same thing happened to me I can only remember snippets also, anyone have an explanation for this. I mean you would think that after waiting so loooooong to see her we would have every single second burned into our memories....

I also only remenber a few things even though I try SO hard to remember it! And I don't know why?!

 

I miss Céline SO much and just want to see her again. Right now I'm thinking about last week ('cause it's exactly one week ago I saw her right now ) It's hard to come over, but I think I'm starting to recover a bit... Would love to go to Germany, but I'm not sure I can afford it...

 

It's great to have all these friends in here... You're my best support at the moment!

[destin139]

im so glad that this topic exists - its so nice to know that im not alone!!

it been just over a month since i saw celine in london and a fresh wave of blues has set in

[zoea2812]

I really cried when the concert ended. Im gutted its all over.

[reamary]

Oh my, so good to hear that it's normal to be feeling this way! I thought I would have cried in the concert, when Céline came on stage for the very first time, but I didn't, instead I just smiled and laughed and my feet went "crazy"! But the days following the concert.... Now I've just been thinking about the concert all the time, and I've cried a lot..! I want to remember everything about the night, but I can't, and that sucks!! I want to go back there, I want to reverse on Monday morning and live the day again and again.. It's like many of you have said, first you dream for 10 years to some day see her, then you actually get your tickets and start months of countdowning, then the day comes, and then it's suddenly all over in 2 hours!! You just get so sad afterwards.

 

And I feel that now I just love Céline even more than I did before, which I didn't know was even possible! But once you see her live there right in front of you, you just fall deeper in love... At the same time it was so surreal, I think I only realized yesterday that I actually saw CÉLINE... It's now 3rd night after the concert, and I've been listening nothing but Céline, though it still makes me cry every time. But I also know that time will "heal", and I won't feel this way forever.. Though I don't know how much time it'll take.

[n loves c]

Aww.. I guess I was a bit luckier, I realized it's Celine after 3 songs hehe. ..What I've realized today is that hanging out here on the board helps a lot. I suppose it helps to be around people who feel the same way. And about remembering the show.. I've been to gazillion other concerts since 1989 and I never have remembered much afterwards.. just bits and pieces. But I noticed that after I saw Celine in Las Vegas the last time, when I watched the DVD, I could actually remember a whole lot! Maybe this will repeat once we get the new DVD.. sometime..

[No1IrishFan]

I cant believe that my show has been and gone so quickly

 

I was looking forward to Dublin so much, it was one of the best nights of my life

 

To have Celine there, right in front of you, performing for you its amazing!!

 

Although im only 15 i do intend to see her again, probably not on this tour but in a few years

 

I am extremely grateful to all you guys for bringing back all the videos and mp3's. I love watching and listening to them, it brings back alot of memories

 

Thanks guys!!

[abbie]

it's kind of good to know that other people feel this way. my mom always tells me off for being uspet but i just don't know when i'll see céline again. i really want to go to germany to see some of those shows but i just can't afford it in a milion years. i miss her so so so much and now it is over a month since i saw her i just hope maybe i can save enough money to go to a show early next year but it is so far to travel i don't think it's possible.

 

i just keep trying to come up with new ideas of how i can see her again and get rid of this horrible feeling. i feel like when i'm there at her show she touches me so much and makes me soooo happy, and then all of a sudden it is over and she never even knows i exist and how happy she makes me. it just leaves me feeling kind of empty.
