Songs for the show

[Mr. Ziggy]

Any thoughts about MJ songs? Could you imagine Celine performing Smooth Criminal? I think she must perform some uptempo MJ's and some ballads like Human Nature or Fall Again (for sure this one is not going to be included but we can still dream xD)

[JCeline85]

as far as MJ songs go.. perhaps she'll do Man in the Mirror? and maybe Ill be there?

[Celinenvegas]

I could hear her doing "Heal The World" or "Gone Too Soon" by MJ.

[Nmj]

i just want man in the mirror!!!!! from the MJ portion.

[fred]

If I were to pick the songs for this show I'd go with a mixture of old songs which have been kept in the dark but deserve some spot light time and new fresh songs.

I'd like the set list to be something like this:

 

overture:

Skies of LA (instrumental) (showing clips from Céline's career)

 

My Heart Will Go On

Right In Front Of You

Taking Chances

 

Only One Road

Surprise Surprise

 

Ain't Gonna Look The Other Way (this has an orchestra in the studio track, and the song is way better than YAI)

(or Where Is The Love)

 

Love medley:

Have You Ever Been In Love

At Last

When I Need You

 

Lovin' Proof

Reveal

Refuse To Dance

 

I Remember LA

 

French act:

Et S'il n'en Restait Qu'une

On S'est Aime A Cause

 

I'm Your Angel (solo version!)

Call The Man

Encore:

Nature Boy (Orchestra version of course)

 

 

 

The French act should change over time, to songs such as: L'Amour Existe Encore, Le Blues The Businessman, Oxygène, Je Crois Toi, S'il Suffisait D'Aimer, Piaf Chanterait Du Rock, J'attendais, Tout Les Blues Sont Ecrits Pour Toi, Contre Nature

 

More English tracks that would sound swell with an orchestra: Just Walk Away, Next Plane Out, Love Is On The Way, That's Just The Woman In Me, I Know What Love Is, In His Touch, In Some Small Way, Us, Map To My Heart, Miles To Go (Before I Sleep)

[anewdayhascome]

so far fred you were right only with one song haha - MHWGO

[luislovesceline]

La canción Man in the mirror está espectacular , jamás la había escuchado ; en la voz de Celine wow .

También all by myself con esa voz recuperada , otro woow

MHWG, the reason, DOL; otro wow (aunque MHWG sea la más repetitiva en sus shows va sonar genial, debe de serlo ya es su CLÁSICO )

Las de James Bond no me agradan mucho; pero estoy seguro que Celine les dará un toque especial. Y finalmente espero que el resto sean de ella, tengo un presentimiento que lo serán y puede ser que no lo sepamos hasta el arranque del show o en los siguientes ensayos generales , tengo entendido que es uno o dos más.

Hi all. This is a huge spoiler alert and contains the complete list of songs from the first dress rehearsal on Sunday, March 6, 2011. Ken Ehrlich made it clear that what was performed that night was a preview and that the official premiere night of Tuesday, March 15, 2011, may be different. He also asked the audience to be loud and clear (or quiet) and respond to the performances as his team will take the feedback and continue making tweaks until the premiere.

 

READY, SET, CLICK!

I'm excited BYLM is hopefully the full version,

 

I think it will change a little bit but who knows at least we have a good idea now.

[Nmj]

I dont think BYLM is the full version but i think its the tour version which is slightly longer than the first las vegas version.

[Tyler1991]

I hope it's the movie version. The whole song has this added punch to it that just makes it sound so amazing.

You and I both it's the one "hit" song she really needs to sing the full version,

 

Am I the only one kinda annoyed because To Love You More is in the show again, it really wasn't an American hit.

[Tyler1991]

Unless you have seen something that I haven't than TLYM is not in the show.

[spunkransum]

I thought TPOL was TLYM I guess that's another sign to have my eyes checked.

[I Love You]

Personally, I love the song list.

[Tyler1991]

At least you didn't think TLYM was TYLAM lol. That would be a major let-down once you'd find our the truth.

[Nmj]

I love that version she sang it live only once i believe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oF-rYvJoVg

[spunkransum]

I'm loving the set list although I would have liked to add just two more songs,

 

Goodbye's The Saddest Word and World To Believe In

 

I'm ready to hear the MJ tribute along with 007 although I think she should have done Goldeneye, I think it's the best Bond theme ever.

 

Now only if they would show us the clothes

 

But we only have 6 more days so we will survive!

[NeliCD]

The song list is so geat, love it!

[anewdayhascome]

it may have been on A New Day... but it'd sound soooooo great with orchestra! and they could have it remixed for the faster version too

[A new day...]

I'd love to see Celine performing "Smile" again.

[fred]

After listening through the premiere show this is my verdict (songs in bold stay, the others out) :

 

 

* Open Arms - a new Celine classic is born

* Where Does My Heart Beat Now - great to hear in her matured voice, better phrasing wanted though

* Because You Loved Me

* It's All Coming Back To Me Now

* The Power Of Love

* You'll Have To Swing It (Mr. Paganini)

* Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel)

* The Reason - not such a climax as I expected, sadly we can do without this song, but I still want to keep it

* Goldfinger - love to hear her do Bassey, but I'd rather see Big Spender (dedicated to Rene? ), Where Do I Begin (Love Story), As Long As He Needs Me or Never Never Never (solo version of Celine's and Pavarotti's I Hate You Then I Love You)

* Nobody Does It Better

* Live And Let Die

* How Do You Keep The Music Playing - great song! But why does it have to sound like a karaoke version?

* Overjoyed - Overbored?

* At Seventeen

* Beauty And The Beast? - Barnev did good! I didn't thought I'd say this but keep Barnev, but change song.

I'm Your Angel?

* Ne Me Quitte Pas - wonderfully performed with orgasmic vibrato, but please please hold the notes just a bit longer

* All By Myself - was nice to hear it with a real orchestra. But not needed at all

* Ben - but talk before or after the song, just a suggestion

* Man In The Mirror

* Declaration Of Love - sing this

* Love Can Move Mountains - make an interlude out of this

* River Deep, Mountain High

* My Heart Will Go On - I guess this just has to be there. But would it kill her to do it earlier in the show?

 

 

 

the space left from the songs I want out can be left empty so she doesn't strain her voice. Or filled in with some more well deserving songs.

[CelineDionFan710]

not sure. I mean i love what she has already but you never know she might change the set in the middle when she has time off.

[Thomas]

Not Celine's choice. If you watch the press conference she said she told Rene she wanted to do it at the start of the show, or change it up a bit, but Rene said no. She tells the journalist she expects to sing it as the final song in her shows for the rest of her life.

 

Mego also told press during the Taking Chances tour that both he and Celine wanted to take TPOL out of the show, but they had to keep it in there to please the fans.

Oh what a mess.

 

I vote for Céline on the MHWGO issue... How depressing isn't that last sentence?!

 

/fred

[Nmj]

I say Celine should be able to sing MHWGO first if she wants, she's lucky her manager is Rene or she would have fired someone else lol

Well Rene let them take out TPOL at the start of the LTAL tour in 1998 (before adding it again for the 1999 concerts).

[celinesounds]
