celine-rc Posted July 21, 2011 at 04:23 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 04:23 PM I can't believe that they shortened Open Arms... Quote http://images.lpcdn.ca/435x290/201103/17/305341.jpg Merci Céline pour ces deux soirées inoubliables que j'ai passées à tes côtés. Je ne les oublierais jamais. J't'adore Céline. Merci. <3
takeachance Posted July 21, 2011 at 04:31 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 04:31 PM They better not take Mr. Paganini or i would die!!! It totally sucks about open arms though, that was amazing ,,,, half of it isnt much good Quote http://i66.tinypic.com/2dk08jn.gifRIP Rene Angelil xx Sending Love and Prayers to Celine
riobeard11 Posted July 21, 2011 at 05:41 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 05:41 PM Ughhhhh I watched the youtube clip. That's so annoying that they would shorten that so much! Quote
I Love You Posted July 21, 2011 at 05:56 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 05:56 PM WHAT, they Shortened Open Arms how dare they. I love that song. Quote
Sofie Posted July 21, 2011 at 05:58 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 05:58 PM (edited) :o Noooo, not Open arms!! Edited July 21, 2011 at 05:58 PM by Sofie Quote
ladylindsey Posted July 21, 2011 at 06:25 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 06:25 PM Well maybe they will change it back after they play around with it and get mixed responses. Everyone if you go to the show make a face haha Quote
MrTim212 Posted July 21, 2011 at 06:25 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 06:25 PM This entire show has me so disappointed at this point. I'd like to see some drastic changes. Unfortunately, the only changes they want to make are ones that piss off the fans. In the LTAL tour, they remove ABM and replace it with TPOL. In Vegas, they start out with 20ish songs, and end with 18, all while losing some of the best songs from that show - TFTEISYF, HYEBIL, IIC, etc....and there replacements being dull songs that nobody gets excited over.In the World tour, great songs like IGTMIM, TSMGO, TJTWIM, CFTF were only played a handfull of times each while other crap was left in for the entire tour. And now, we have Open Arms being shortened....hmm, well I can guarantee you that the first cover to get the axe probably isn't going to be At Seventeen/Lullaby/Overjoyed/anything in that boring mess, but probably Mr. Paganini or one of the covers people actually enjoy... The decision to remove DOL has already been made, and it sucks.....this just all sucks so much. I know that it's impossible to satisy everybody, but sometimes I feel like they don't even try with some of the unwise decisions they make regarding her setlists. I wonder what the reasoning is though... Maybe the feedback was that the show was too long? Pressure from Caesar's to shorten the show so that people could go out and gamble? I know that the casinos there don't like it when shows exceed 90 mins and when I saw the show in April, it clocked in at an hour and 45 min. I know that's only 15 minutes over, but who knows what the contract states and what pressure they're getting. Also, it's possible that they're making way for some additions to the show... Maybe that's wishful thinking, but maybe they're gonna add in some songs and they're testing out a shortened version of "Open Arms." Quote je me changerai en or pour que tu m'aimes encore

explosives124 Posted July 21, 2011 at 06:47 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 06:47 PM Well maybe they will change it back after they play around with it and get mixed responses. Everyone if you go to the show make a face haha I agree with you they're probably still playing around with the show fine tuning it. I hope it was only that one show only. Quote
dmeredith Posted July 21, 2011 at 10:21 PM Posted July 21, 2011 at 10:21 PM I am so saddened to hear that Open Arms has been shortened. I can't understand what the reasoning is behind this decision. It is the perfect opening song. I felt as though Celine was welcoming me home after being gone for a long time. The words speak volumes to the audience, in my opinion. I sure hope that the full song is back in the show by the time I go back for the New Year's Eve show. We'll just have to wait and see what their reasons are behind this change. It's a long way to travel to Vegas due to ticket prices, airplane fares and hotel rates to be disappointed. I love Celine and everything that she sings, but what is going on???? Quote

Raevaz Posted July 22, 2011 at 12:56 AM Posted July 22, 2011 at 12:56 AM Now that I listen to it, it seems edited. Listen closely to the "jump" around 1:30-1:33.. If it is edited, they probably had to cut it short because the instrumental between the chorus and the 2nd verse doesn't get lower in pitch like the ending does. Quote
ImACelineDionFan Posted July 22, 2011 at 01:28 AM Posted July 22, 2011 at 01:28 AM ^ I sure hope so! It does sound like there is a little jump Quote
ladylindsey Posted July 22, 2011 at 02:10 AM Posted July 22, 2011 at 02:10 AM Ohhhhh I thought we knew someone in attendance the past 2 nights.... Quote
Alex_Incognito Posted July 22, 2011 at 02:34 AM Posted July 22, 2011 at 02:34 AM NO FORKING WAY!!!!!!!!! "Open Arms" was the perfect opening to the show. Who the hell's idea was this!? Between this and the "Girls' night in" edition of ML, I'm beginning to think they are punishing fans! Quote "People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."- Céline Dion, 1990
Davey84 Posted July 22, 2011 at 06:47 AM Posted July 22, 2011 at 06:47 AM Yes I think so too.... if it is shortened we should all complain on Barnev's and Andre's FB sites, so they ll know the fans aren't happy!! Let them cut that stupid Ben or Barnev's mini concert instead if it needs to be shortened!

anewdayhascome Posted July 22, 2011 at 07:46 AM Posted July 22, 2011 at 07:46 AM (edited) so what do we do? I think they should listen to our opinions! I've just listened to the youtube link and it sucks!!!! the 2nd part of the song is better and more powerful! bring it back to the show!

Mr. Ziggy Posted July 22, 2011 at 03:00 PM Posted July 22, 2011 at 03:00 PM Yes I think so too.... if it is shortened we should all complain on Barnev's and Andre's FB sites, so they ll know the fans aren't happy!! Let them cut that stupid Ben or Barnev's mini concert instead if it needs to be shortened! Ben isn't stupid. Quote
ladylindsey Posted July 22, 2011 at 04:46 PM Posted July 22, 2011 at 04:46 PM I don't know if the band can really do anything- I know Barnev can't. I don't think we should complain, honeslty, that looks bad on our parts, let's wait and see if it really is shortened, then if they figure out people don't like it or the flow is weird then they might take that into consideration. If you happen to be in Vegas and one of them asks you about the show, then I think it would be ok to calmmmmly say a little something about the parts you like and dont like. There is a show tomorrow night and I think a few ppl are going from the forum so let's see! I'm hoping it was just edited in that person's track. Quote
RomualdlovesCeline Posted July 22, 2011 at 05:17 PM Posted July 22, 2011 at 05:17 PM Maybe Celine wants to give milk to her babies with Open Arms nothing to hide BELIEVE what I say so HERE i am... Quote

And they say Céline is doing the show she wants to do after 30 years in the business eh? Yes, under Caesars Palace complete guidelines @Alex, agree. How did we got to this point in her career?

Thomas Posted July 22, 2011 at 08:52 PM Posted July 22, 2011 at 08:52 PM The clip definitely sounds edited. Are there actual reviews to back that up? Quote
Raevaz Posted July 22, 2011 at 09:56 PM Posted July 22, 2011 at 09:56 PM The clip definitely sounds edited. Are there actual reviews to back that up?I messaged the person who uploaded it and they said that the bootleg was from a friend and he/she simply uploaded it for them.. I still think it's edited, probably by the person who recorded the bootleg. We'll just wait until the someone on the forum sees the show (hopefully soon). Quote
GoldenLeaf Posted July 22, 2011 at 11:13 PM Posted July 22, 2011 at 11:13 PM It's ridiculously laughable how some people here are freaking out about an audio clip that sounds edited. Let's wait for actual proofs before judging the situation. Quote
Koolan Posted July 22, 2011 at 11:53 PM Posted July 22, 2011 at 11:53 PM It's probably edited. Makes no sense for an opener to be so short. Quote Please support the forum by ordering through our Amazon.com referral link below. Click here to go to the Amazon homepage.
ImACelineDionFan Posted July 23, 2011 at 01:21 AM Posted July 23, 2011 at 01:21 AM Someone commented on the video saying they were at the show on the 20th and it was the FULL song!! Phewww!!! Quote
ladylindsey Posted July 23, 2011 at 05:49 AM Posted July 23, 2011 at 05:49 AM great! sigh of relief! Quote
riobeard11 Posted July 23, 2011 at 01:00 PM Posted July 23, 2011 at 01:00 PM I think in my rage I didn't think of the fact that someone would edit a video like that! Quote
