Yes, enjoy the show! Tonight is the night! You're gonna love it!

Celine's crew is already in Puerto Rico. Last night in Fort Lauderdale other fans and I talked to Aaron and he said they were driving to Miami as they were flying to Puerto Rico today in the morning. According to him, they were to arrive at the venue in San Juan at around 2-3 pm.

Well, I just received word from some fans in the forum who are at the Palm Beach airport and Celine and Rene have arrived by car and are in the plane now. So Celine should be taking off and on her way to Puerto Rico soon!

El Coliseo de Puerto Rico in Hato Rey, seemed about to explode. Children, youth, adults and senior citizens packed the great hall on the night of Saturday to witness the live presentation of which is undoubtedly one of the top exponents of the pop world: the Canadian diva Celine Dion.

Y es que el público de la cantante no se limita a una sola generación. La excelencia vocal y sus impresionantes recitales le han ganado seguidores de todas las edades. And the public is that the singer is not limited to a single generation. Excellence impressive vocal recitals and has won him fans of all ages.

Igualmente, se hizo un recorrido gráfico de varias de las ciudades que ha visitado el recorrido, hasta plasmar en letras mayúsculas el nombre de la ciudad capital boricua. Similarly, there was a graphic tour of several of the cities he has visited the journey to transform capital letters in the name of the Puerto Rican capital.

La cantante apareció ataviada en un vestido platinado y preguntó en español “¿están listos San Juan?”, provocando la euforia del público. She appeared dressed in a silver dress and asked in Spanish, "Are you ready San Juan", causing the euphoria of the public.

Así, inició enérgica y con aires rockeros al ritmo de “I Drove All Night”, popularizada originalmente por Cyndi Lauper. Le siguió el inolvidable clásico “The Power of Love”. So, started with strong winds and rock to the beat of "I Drove All Night," originally popularized by Cyndi Lauper. It was followed by the unforgettable classic "The Power of Love."

“Muchas gracias, ¿cómo están todos esta noche?”, dijo nuevamente en el idioma castellano. Luego, pasando al inglés, comentó sentirse “emocionada de finalmente llegar a San Juan. Puede haber pasado mucho tiempo para llegar aquí, pero les voy a compensar todo ese tiempo”. "Thank you, how is everyone tonight," he said again in the Castilian language. Then, changing to English, said to feel "excited to finally get to San Juan. There may be a long time to get here, but I will compensate for that long. "

La diva comentó que “Taking Chances” ha sido una gira familiar debido a que le han acompañado su madre, de 81 años, y su hijo, de ocho. Ofreció un largo discurso, el que justificó con jocosidad al recordar que es la menor de 14 hermanos y que en su casa nunca podía hablar, por lo que utiliza sus conciertos para mostrarse parlanchina.

He gave a long speech, he justified with jocosidad to remember that it is the smaller of 14 brothers and that his house could never speak, so use their concerts to show chatterbox.

“Taking Chances” y las súpercoreadas “It's All Coming Back to Me Now”, “Because You Loved Me” y “To Love You More” continuaron el emotivo show para el que Dion tuvo un nutrido cuerpo de baile y una impecable banda matizada por el sonido de un violinista que la acompañó en varios números.

Ataviada con una túnica, y luego de una coreografía flamenca, ejecutó el tema con influencias árabes “Eyes On Me” y luego, una de las más esperadas canciones, “All By Myself”, que tiene una versión hispana que no vocalizó. Adorned with a robe, and after a flamenco dance, executed with Arabic influences item "Eyes On Me" and then, one of the most songs, "All By Myself", which is not a Hispanic version vocalizations.

“I'm Alive”, “Shadow of Love” y “Fade Away” vinieron antes de que entonara “I'm Your Angel”, a dúo con su corista Barnev Valsaint. "I'm Alive," "Shadow of Love" and "Fade Away" came before it intones, "I'm Your Angel," a duet with her singer Barnev Valsaint.

The interpreter, with several changes of clothes, also used to present "Alone", and she considers her most important piece of his repertoire in French, his mother tongue, "Pour que tu m'aimes encore."

Then, thanks to technology, he joined the Italian Andrea Bocelli, who appeared in a pre-video to add its voice to that of Dion on the topic "The Prayer", which provoked a standing ovation.

Con “Love Can Move Mountains”, la extrovertida cantante realizó la falsa salida, pero tras los gritos de los presentes, regresó con “River Deep, Mountain High”, y culminó con broche de oro vestida en un traje negro y envuelta en el sentimiento de la inolvidable “My Heart Will Go On”, de la película “Titanic”. With "Love Can Move Mountains," the extrovert singer made a false start, but after cries of those present, he returned with "River Deep, Mountain High" and culminated in gold brooch dressed in a black suit and wrapped in a sense the unforgettable "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie "Titanic."

Back from the concert!!!

It was an AWESOME time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! I'm really tired but a short review for now. Well a couple of us Celine fans from the forum decided to meet early The crowd was extremely GREAT, me, bonnipili and a couple of fans from the forum were screaming our heads off. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE CELINE THE "COQUI" (VIDEO IS COMING SOON). For those of you who don't know what a "Coqui" is, it's our native animal. Me, bonnipili (Pili) and ellinger (Eric) meet and we took pictures (Coming Soon, I'll put the link of my facebook page here, picure files are TOO big). Celine said "¿Están listos San Juan?" which means "Are you ready San Juan?" everybody started SCREAMING wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! I screamed me HEAD off, right now my throat really hurts but anything for Celine, lol. Celine said that she had wanted to come to Puerto Rico for soooooooooo long and that she wanted to make it up for all of those lost years. Everybody LOVED her sooooo much!!!!!

So about the coqui story, the thing was that I really wanted to do it, we and tow other Celine Fans that are here in the forum me, masterx69 (Josue) and odvilell (Osvaldo) we were planning to give Celine gifts, Me the "coqui" Osvaldo "flowers" and Josue "the Quebec "flag". At first we were kind of chickening out but we did it. I talked to the bodyguard just in case and he said you can give the gifts to her, but you can't thow them on stage. Celine kept on watching us the WHOLE time when we started making the movements that we wanted to give her the gifts. When she saw the three of us she started singing directly to US, not to brag or anything but Celine was actually looking at me the most. I was like aaaaaaaaah OMG! OMG! OMG, it's going to happen, at the end when she ended the song the bodyguard came to us, Celine looked at the bodyguard and gave a yes to him to take our gifts to her. She winked at us and said thank you when she received them and she gave the gifts to Mego and Celine told him to put the flowers in water. She waved to us again and the three of started screaming "WE LOVE YOU CELINE"!!!!!!! I was completely freaking out because I was like "Did I just do that???????" lol. I was super excited because I took the chance and I wana thank you all of you guys that supported me (Special thank you to Eddie and Denelle) dreams really do come true and like Celine says "What do you say to taking chances?" I finally took them and I'm thankful to God that my wish came true.

My mom and sister were screaming when they saw me on the screen lol. They were like OMG!!!!! it's Astrid, hahahaha. All in all Celine was AWESOME like always and third time was the charm. It was my third time to see Celine but the special part was that it was in my country Puerto Rico and I'm really glad and thankful for the producers that finally brought her.

Hope you guys like the review and the pictures and videos WILL arrive soon. ^_^

If you want to see the pictures even though I'll try to add them here, you can add me on Facebook: Astrid Esquilín Hernández.

Hello!

Im new in the forum but a celine fan!

Let me tell you tonight was magic in Puerto Rico!!

The colisseum was full to max capacity! everybody was so happy and excited to see celine! i must admit i was surprised i didnt know celine had so many fans in Puerto Rico ! Not only that, but it is great support to her, what with how the economy has been affecting us all...even so, people took a time and space to sing along with celine and have fun for a while!

What can i say. Its my first time in a celine dion concert. Her voice was impeccable. She spoke to the audience with so mucn sincerity..so much warmth.

She mentioned the fact that her mother and family are on the tour with her, and how happy that makes her.

The set list was pretty awesome...... of course, there are many songs from Taking Chances and previous CDs that i wouldve liked to listen to, but no harm done, this was a spectacular night.

My love - started out singing acapella and, what else? her voice was clear and crisp. It is kind of surreal once that voice becomes so tangible because you are listening to it right there.

anyway, im pretty tired and still processing the whole night... i know its not a very thorough review but i know you guys were expecting some news:

rest assured Celine has outdone herself . I can't wait to see her again. Left the place with a huge smile on my face.

thanks to all you guys for the great wishes!!

Wow what a night. Celine is the best!!! The concert was a spectacular. Its a sold-out concert. the Coliseum was full of people ... it was sold-out and the majority of the songs were sung the majority of the presents. I come very early and I could listen a bit to the sound proof. The safety was VERY EXTREME so was very difficult to come up to where she it. Once she finish her poof they move to a very near hotel in where they have prepared some things in order that it she could rest and prepare before the concert.

When finally the lights extinguished at 9:15 pm the coliseum was to fall down ..... in shouts. The entry was very exciting. Celine enjoy the concert and in several occasions she spoke to the public surprised at the reception!!!! Astrid with others of the boys of the forum took charge being in the first row ..... they delivered her flowers, the flag of Quebec (Celine thrill when saw the flag and a small typical frog (coqui) of our Island. It seems to me that the distributios of the songs was the same of Mexico and of that using this one in the Anglo-Saxon countries. Of entry she use the suit light pink color ..... her hair was beautiful .... . Tomorrow with mas calmness we will put photos and video. It is quite for the present, so(then) I go away to resting. (sorry for my english )
