Celine at the GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live! -- Countdown To Music's Biggest Night and Celebrating the Grand Opening of the GRAMMY Museum

or not!

I just word on something. I can't go at all to LA.

 

I'm going to be on a business trip that day, for something immensely amazing and exciting.

 

I'll just watch this concert on HD and give the money that I would have spent on this trip as a gift to my parents for Christmas!

 

that's a good christmas gift

So what's taking you away from the diva???? another concert? an award!!!! tell me tell me !

I don't understand why I'm being questioned...

 

It's quite odd, honestly, Tam. I've never been with her. LOL

 

You've been to see Celine on multiple continents. She's your passion, your love, your obsession.

 

She is definitely my favorite singer, but I have many other things in my life that's more important than Celine, such as my love for cinema, for the arts, my family (including my aging parents and my beloved grandparents). I live a very fast-paced life.

 

And, no, Tam, my life is not playing the piano. I don't make even a buck playing the piano. The concert I gave two weeks ago, was to raise funds for a women's center to help put a stop to domestic violence against women.

 

I run a multimedia production firm and preside over one of the leading arts organizations in my region of California. I wake up each day knowing that I'm living life to the fullest.

 

I definitely will not drop things to run for Celine. I see her when she's around, or when I have time, or when I have an opportunity. Like, New York was a little vacation for me, and I got a few amazing chances to talk to her, kiss her, and smile with her. And that was so great, and I do adore her. But that moment was transient... It was something to talk about, something to remember, something to smile about, but not an achievement... it's not a success.

 

You can't measure people's "commitment," because Celine is not a need. Although she's a deep inspiration, her music touches deeply in the heart, and I will always be moved by her music, by her story, by her humanity - yet, she's a commodity and a form of entertainment. I don't want to disappoint anybody - this is just truth.

 

If it weren't for this forum or YouTube, I probably would still have not seen footages of her singing on "An Evening with..." or even on Ellen's Show. I don't even watch TV.

 

And a trip to LA to see Celine would be $300 for airfare and transportation, $300 for the concert ticket (because I want a good seat), $300 for the hotel, $100 for food, and another $100 for travel miscellaneous. I could go on a shopping spree for gifts this Christmas to give to so many people, instead of myself.

 

I've seen her 12 times in concert. Today, she was scheduled to be in San Jose, but that was canceled. I was in the same city because I served on an international jury of a major film festival and the event was held there. I would have chosen to be at the festival versus seeing Celine, because it was more important for me.

I was just curious since I work in the industry... Every film festival is an important one for me as they are a platform to show one's cinematic vision but only a handful are considered major, like Sundance, Cannes, Berlin, Toronto and a few others. That's why I asked.

Well, i really like that song and the live version at AMA's yesterday was sooooo good!

Is that what you're talking about

I almost broke a rib laughing while watching this video. At about 1m22s into the video... she takes a look at the big screen to her left and sees herself and decides to put her hair on her shoulder 'cause she didn't like what she saw

 

That song is like a carbon copy of We Belong Together... well not a carbon copy but they are way too similar imo.

Those are obviously major. Montreal World, Venice, San Sebastian are as major. Sundance is the only one that you've named that's not accredited by the FIAPF, and not considered as an A-fest. There are over 2,000 film festivals worldwide and several more thousand showcases. Sundance is a large independent film festivals in the world and a major launching pad, but still has a smaller audience than Seattle's and Palm Spring Int'l's. And New York Film Festival, curated by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, although has a slate of a few feature films, is considered among the top 5 most important in the US, along with the San Francisco Int'l, the Telluride, the Tribeca. The Int'l Latino of SF-Bay Area, although a niche festival, is one of the top five in the US (if not in the top three) for its showcase films from Latin America, Latin Europe, and Latinos in the United States.

:mdr:

 

I like you.

 

Since her name is on top of the others - I have a feeling that she will sing more songs than the others there. (So now, instead of two songs, she will sing three ) I just hope that the song selection would be wise. Even though she is in promotion of the Essential Collection, I highly doubt she's gonna bore the crowd with a ballad (such as "My Love"), as she knows the other singers will be there to rock the house!

 

I'm sure that she will do well because she tends to perform at her peak whenever she does these group concerts.

In addition, this is a highly-historical night!

OMG OMG OMG!!

You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman live at Letterman!!!

Such an amazing surprise & performance!!

I really want more JayLeno/Letterman performances, it's always flawless!

 

About Mariah, she's so funny, superficial, but still love it lol

Yeah, it's sounds almost the most like WBT but a little more refreshing

That's too funny. And obviously it's lipped after 3:05. No one can compare with the one and only Annie Lennox on the AMA this year.

I wish Celine would make a performance like that on the Grammy.

Oh I wasn't looking at film festivals' attendance but rather where independent films stand a better chance at getting a distribution deal. Those are the ones I would call major. The others are a great way of getting recognition, getting remembered and building a career.

[Your_Su_Phu]

why did she sing everything but the why's? the why's are the best part of the song <_< it's like eating a hamburger without the patty

 

don't tell me, it's another way of being soulful right? along with other such "soulful" methods as dragging a 3 minute song to 10 minutes with extra runs. or having a seizure-like fit like mary j. blige =/

 

i like annie though

Yeah, Annie Lennox made me cry yesterday! All the emotions she puts, feels like she wrote that song last week!

Her voice, there's no word to describe it.. It's just so deep, so intense!

I'm a huge fan of her, as an human being, as a songwriter and as a singer! Totally deserve it!
