tonighhhhttttt! Can't wait! I'm sure some of you in the UK are getting close to showtime! Have fun!

[m1234]

Awww not long now counting the hours to see the film cant wait i didnt get to goto the concerts so i suppose this is the next best thing even though i gota travel to see it

[takeachance]

I'm glad I booked tickets for tommorow night in Picadilly Circus, look at the seats now - almost half full!

 

Is that dark blue square you Tim?

 

So I booked a ticket for Arklow on Saturday this afternoon and about 30 minutes ago, I missed a phonecall from a number with the area code of Wexford, where Arklow is. So now I'm thinking that I'm the only one who's booked and their cancelling the screening!

 

I'm not able to get a ring tone when I ring the number back, and I've had no e-mail since the confirmation one, but still nervous now. Is anyone else going to this showing? Surely someone in the republic besides me is on this forum and going to it.

 

Also they didn't take my phone number so can't think how they could get it, but I have never gotten a call from Wexford before, don't even know anyone in Wexford. Could this possibly be coincidence?

 

Wexford is way too far away for me Thats so random that it seems to be the only place showing it in the whole of the republic Ive given up now and am just going to wait for the dvd altogether! Hope you get to see it there though!

[J-Man]

I know! Like why the hell Wexford? Sometimes being a Celine fan is as difficult and complex as being on an episode of The Crystal Maze!

No, I had to pretend to book a seat in order to see this seating plan. But my seat is in that area.

 

It's weird how so many people have booked seats for the Thursday night showing, when the other nights only have half the number of people.

[Bumble]

I don't wanna kill the party, but wasn't it the lamest premiere ever? All I see is FLOP FLOP FLOP.

No one showed up on the red carpet (ok there was no red carpet), 14 fans in the cinema, and two journalists from the local news.

What a way to make a big impression for her first movie, advertized on Larry King and Oprah..."the best documentary on an artist", according to René.

I bet the jonas Brothers/miley Cyrus movies premieres were more exciting.

NOoooooooooooo and today for the first time ever I said no when I was offered one

 

PS: I spotted myself in the movie

[destin139]

I'm heading off in about an hour to go see it!! I'm so excited - I don't care if I'm the only person in the cinema... I just cant wait to see it! Going to bring back so many awesome memories of 2 years ago

[J-Man]

So I see on the newspaper ad that it is at "Cinemas today untill Monday" so defo not going to be anything after the weekend. Have a blast Darren, Destin 139, iloveceline22 and everyone else who is going tonight. Can't wait to read your review of how the night went.

 

Vroni you worried me when you said you were dissapointed, I thought you meant in the documentary itself. I know the audience is going to be pretty small in a lot of places, which is a real bummer. But wow, you saw yourself! That was great!

I think demand will be quite high in certain places. Vue in Edinburgh for example has already added a 2nd showing.

 

Can't wait to see this tomorrow night though.

[ks1981]

Saw the film this afternoon! Well, just amazing! You really go through the emotions watching the film. Your mind just buzzes on the way home after you've seen it.

 

Great that all the lipped songs we've been hearing for so many years have new vocals.

[CSCfan]

Hope word of mouth will do this film some good

[destin139]

I'm off guys! Will check in later!

[Nmj]

Yes, we must keep spreading the word

[No1IrishFan]

Its very strange that it is not showing in Belfast until next Thursday!

[No1IrishFan]

When I booked Belfast tickets it said 5pm, it now says 8pm!! Will have to ring and ask them to confirm time.

 

Have fun tonight guys!

Concert film takes Celine Dion’s fans on family road trip

Don’t bring up statistics with Celine Dion. Don’t ask her about being the all-time best-selling female artist after having sold more than 200 million albums. Don’t ask about the 3 million people who saw her on her last world tour, “Taking Chances,’’ during which she visited five continents, 25 countries, and 93 cities.

 

“For statistics, talk to Rene!’’ Dion says with a laugh, referring to her husband and manager. She is much more at ease discussing the balance she now has as a wife, a mother (she and Rene Angelil have a 9-year-old son), and a performer who chooses songs based on feeling rather than a blatant nod to the charts.

 

The up-close-and-personal real Dion can be seen in a new concert documentary, “Celine: Through the Eyes of the World,’’ which opens a two-week run in Boston-area cinemas starting tomorrow. Music clips from the last tour, including some from her TD Garden shows, are mixed with footage of the unpretentious, Montreal-raised Dion hanging out with her family (her mother came along), greeting fans, meeting Nelson Mandela, and going everywhere from a chocolate factory in Belgium to a safari in Africa.

 

Dion’s next move will be to return to Las Vegas, where she played for five years at Caesars Palace before embarking on her last tour. She will open at Caesars on March 15, 2011, but it will be for 70 shows a year for three years (including a new tribute to Hollywood movies), far fewer than the 200-plus she did before. The dates will be set around her son’s school schedule (in summer and during his school vacations), proving that family, not show business, is what matters most.

 

Q. You said in your last show here that Boston was a lucky charm. Why is that?

 

A. We started the American portion of the [2008] tour there, and we rehearsed the shows there. The last tour we did was 1998, and we also started there. Rene and I are very superstitious. Boston was a lucky charm in the past, so there was no way we were not going to start the tour there. On top of being superstitious, my son, who just turned 9, has been into sports, and his favorite team is the Red Sox, which is the same for me and Rene. My son has been imitating the swing of Kevin Youkilis, and Big Papi is one of his favorites as well. . . . The Red Sox and Boston are big things in the family.

 

Q. You were rooted in Las Vegas for so long. What was it like to do a world tour again?

 

A. I have to say that it’s a totally different energy. It’s not the same as being in Las Vegas for five years. Vegas was stability. We had a wonderful theater, and by being settled you can achieve many things once you don’t have to move instruments and lighting and effects. On tour, there is less control, but you can go wilder as an artist and do different things. We also wanted to make this tour a kind of a memory and have my mom with me and my son. Let’s do a world tour and see the world as well. It also got emotional, traveling to Germany and seeing a concentration camp, and visiting with Mr. Mandela [in South Africa].

 

Q. What was it like to meet Mandela?

 

A. It was another kind of emotion. He was struggling - he’s very sick - but he has such a strong streak in him. What he represented for me was three things: He has the strength of a man, the soul of a child, and the heart of a woman, a mother. It’s very emotional to meet that man and feel all of that.

 

Q. You don’t just sit in hotel rooms. The movie shows you out and about. In Johannesburg you’re even teaching some local kids to sing.

 

A. I’m not a person who goes to clubs, and I don’t really look for parties. I’m not out there in that way. I’m the opposite of that. But this time I wanted to tour as an artist but also as a mom, a daughter, and a wife. I wanted to see the world and grow as a family. This film was not supposed to be for the public. This was supposed to be a family album, just a movie for us. But it turned out so great that Rene approached a movie company to release it.

 

Q. You were part of the recent Michael Jackson tribute at the Grammys. What did that mean to you?

 

A. I was very honored that they asked me, but it was an awkward feeling, to be honest. I knew him personally. I met him, and he came to Vegas to see my show. We talked in my dressing room, and he wanted to know about the show and how I was managing to do it. I’ve been a big fan of him all my life. I learned English because of him. In my [home] in the province of Quebec, I didn’t have a bedroom. My bedroom was in the middle of a stairway, and I had posters of Michael on the ceiling. So he was not only on my wall but on my bedroom ceiling. . . . And then all of a sudden I’m paying tribute to him at the Grammys and he’s not there.

Q. Who are some of the singers you like today?

 

A. One of the greatest vocalists for me is Christina Aguilera. She’s done many different styles over the years, but as a vocalist she is extremely strong. . . . And, surprisingly, I’m listening more to Lady Gaga. When she started her whole thing, I didn’t get it at all. I listened to her because I have a 9-year-old who downloads his own music. So I was hearing the lyrics in her songs and I didn’t get it. And then I saw pictures of her and I didn’t get it. But I paid attention to her at the Grammys. She went on the piano with Elton John, and I could hear her voice and she’s extremely talented. Beyoncé also did an amazing number. And Pink blew me away, too.

Why didn't she mention Leona Lewis?

I love her and she is a big vocalist, she's number 3 on my ranking after

Celine (forever) and

Whitney (until her drug time)...

 

But I think I know the reason, Leona always says in interviews, that her biggest Idol is MARIAH

(for me she's not a vocalist, she's just "big")

but hey... I still imagine Celine dancing...

 

I want your lovin'

I want your revenge
