no...the hugs were before PQTME!!! i am so in love!!!

but why does she not sing the queen medley here in the US?

[Kyle_Jared]

She truly is the kindest diva! It's what makes her so endearing compared to ANY other out there!

A baby?

 

LOL im soo glad you started this and not me, I saw her potbelly here in Houston and all I could think was "my girl is eating too much" she is obviously not watching her diet , its also pretty easy to tell that she is not in the same shape she was while in Vegas, her body is not as toned as she used to be, specially her legs and arms . Hate me for saying it but im a health freak and gym rat and I saw her in las Vegas many many times and now on her tour and im 100% positive she is not working out , it shows.

 

I still love me some Celine Dion everyday and anyday.

[I Surrender]

maybe she had chinese the night before

 

anyways thanks for the pics and reviews so far.

[celinevegas]

Where are the reviews? Clubmed?

 

Here it is Vic, just for you. We just got back from the concert in "Super Tampa" as Celine put it.

 

It was another great concert, Celine was on fire and soooo goofy, and so was the crowd.

So many great instances with the fans, which I captured and will try to upload later.

 

We waited for her to arrive at the venue with several other fans from Germany, Brazil and England. As usual Celine was running late, and did not stop (sans sunglasses), although, she rolled down the window, waved and blew the crowd a kiss.

 

Nothing unusual about the opening speech including the kayak comment and RC turning this past weekend.

 

In our section, everyone recognized Ramona from the DVD and had pictures taken with her.

 

Here are some pictures to keep you guys amused in the meantime.

These are from Ramona's camera, while mine is charging.

 

Michel made a comment about this showing up on youtube.

 

Waiting for Celine at the venue.

 

A view from our seats.

 

YES or NO???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the 3 hugs she gave tonight! These were the German fans, they gave her frogs. Celine spoke to them in German.

I like the last photo,

I would like that it arrives at me one day but I think very too much of dreaming..

[Chellbie]

ahhhhh- wonderful reviews guys! I am so glad that you all who came from Germany had such a good time! These Celine moments are just truly magical! Each and every moment makes us all fall so much deeper in love with that woman! You know these shows are only going to get better! so keep that smile on your faces and have fun in Ft. Lauderdale! ahhh! =) CONGRATS!

[Julian]

KRISTIN YOU HIT THE JACKPOT! Germany is proud of you

[celinedream]

where on youtube has Michelle showed up?

 

I uploaded some in my youtube... that's so cool he mentioned it :

 

My friend Dawin was in the concert last night. He told me that Mexico has been added to the intro video and that apparently I'm in it

[Koolan]

btw I sat next to Ramona and her daughter at the first Boston show...is she on this forum? i'm sure she is knowing her! lol if you are on... "hi Ramona! I can't wait to see us on the dvd since we had FRONT ROW seats!"

She's not her daugher, it's her personal bodyguard photographer. Both are here.

Vic, still bodyguard, but promoted to manger in Winnipeg (and still the puppet).

You hold many titles. I bet you got a nice little raise!

[clbmed02]

Not sure this will work. Here is a longer video of the hugs and Celine talking about getting older. ENJOY!

I just love how she said to that woman "she like the vintage part, shes saying to her husband.." lol.. ahahha I love our Celine sooo much! This was a memorable show to be at! I hope they put some of that on the DVD! Thank you soo much again!

[kwright]

WOW! Those reviews are amazing! Celine was definitely in a hugging mood! That's so cute! I'm glad all of you guys who came from Germany had such a fantastic time! Sounds like everybody was on fire and had an awesome time!

[peo]

That was so cute and funny... "Excuse my French" *tongue roll* She makes that same water comment every time she hands the flowers to Mego. :sofunny:

[sazzlepop123]

YAY I'm glad you guys from Germany got your Celine moments!!! AMAZING! The video of it all is wonderful too!

 

The reviews are great but I really don't agree with this :

She did some oddball covers, like James Brown's It's a Man's Man's Man's World, Aretha Franklin's Respect and Ike and Tina Turner's River Deep, Mountain High. Soulful, Dion is not.

I know you can't please everyone but what?! Celine certainly has SOUL. She can shake it and deliver soul at the same time! In my humble opinion that is! ahhh I REALLY wish she still did the Queen medley still, I absolutely LOVED itttt!

 

AND....the baby bump comments.... I also noticed a little bump a month or so ago! Celine's definitely got a more fuller figure now and I think she looks fantastic! She could just be eating more and working out less?

I think Celine would have said if she was pregnant somehow and I'm sure she wouldn't have tried for another baby during the tour but I do remember in My story my dream Celine said that prior to IVF she had progesterone injections to make her very fertile which if I remember correctly she said made her stomach swell like 'a little balloon' so who knows! she could be preparing her body for another bubba!? But I think she said it can cause nautiousness so I don't know if they would have risked the injections whilst touring.... Just my 2 cents there

[racey3229]

hi guys,

 

well what more can i say, the concert was amazing, was nice to meet up with other fans before the show, shame celine didnt stop for us!! last night was number 13 for me and sue, and she was on form more than any of the other concerts! the funniest moment for me was when she took her first ever album of a guy in the audience and pulled a strange celine face, and say "MY GOD I LOOK LIKE MY SON" ha ha she is one crazy lady!!! off to fort lauderdale tomorrow then thats it for racey the end of a very exciting and special 12 months!!!

[Chellbie]

WOW.. it makes me so happy when she paints her fingernails! =) =) I dont know why, but I just picture her sitting at home saying, hmmmm what color do I want today?! awww

[kristin0000000]

Ok, I'm sorry but this whole issue is annoying the heck out of me. Why is it that whenever a woman gains like, one pound, she's either "pregnant" or "fat"?

Umm hello? Our bodies change as we go through life, it's a normal and natural thing. I would prefer for Celine (and any other woman!) to spend her time doing whatever she wants to do. I would never want her to feel like she has to spend hours at the gym or worry about what she eats. She's thinner than 99% of the population, for God sakes! If there's something wrong with how she looks, what does that say about the rest of us? Why do you think so many girls are dying of Eating Disorders? Cuz of stupid comments like that and stupid pressure put on us. I get that Celine's naturally thin, but she could afford to gain like 20 pounds and still not be overweight. Anyway she's beautiful just the way she is, and all that matters is that she's healthy.

[takeachance]

Oh my gosh, i just read all reviews and watched videos! I love her more ....How is it even possible????!!! She is so nice and loves hugs! On the whole ? pregnancy thing , and i sense people could not like this being discussed, but im really excited because to me, she looks like she is preparing for pregnancy with the IVF, she explained her belly went a little bloated the last time she did! Ooooooooooh, im so excited and I hope it will all work out. This is only my opinion that I am sharing !
