TCWT/CTTEOTW Complaining & Venting Thread

[TheOne]

I don't care too! I really love the new version of TPOL and IACBTMN for exemple

 

but I don't like the fact that some people here don't want to hear any explanation and want to blindly believe that Celine decided Miraculously to sing live that night! I mean... come on! Are you stupid?

That comment is uncalled for. I already gave you another chance to behave. Next time, it will be a permanent ban.

 

 

It's all OK. I didn't take any offense!

 

Cheers!

[fan2celinedion]

He tought that I called you stupid while it's not what I wanted to say!

I'm ashamed now because everybody Will think that too :bag:

Sorry again TheOne!

yea i was offended too, even with your sarcasm-laced reply's

and if they let a little audience sound in the background of ABM doesnt that tell you that that are aware of the silence during acapella (if ripped off the dvd). ANd if they are aware of it, why would they not include a little audience sound on all the so called re-recordings. i'll tell you why, because they weren't re-recordings, they were LIVE recordings pulled from one of the concerts. what you dont know is that even though Celine "lips" sometimes to some notes, she is still singing live in the mic and it is being recorded. the playback is piped through the sound system of the arena ..

and when Celine is coming up to a huge note there is this pin-drop deadening silence, then her big crescendo, then a big burst of applause.

It was definitely dead silent during the big moments when I saw the show. Especially during ABM and My Love

Ask Timster or Bumble if you don't believe me

[idroveallnight]

Why is the album not on iTunes?

[mieke]

How come that the audience in Montreal and Boston are the same ???

That's my only complaint ... that they didn't show an entire Montreal show.

[celine_1983]

Ok after a few watches of the various dvds i have to say first of all - they are a-maz-ing. Truly the best live releases of Celine's career in terms of production value, sound etc of the tour and the DVD.

 

I wish we had Live a Paris in widescreen with this definition and full 5.1!

 

Anyhoo much as i bow down to the genius of Céline in these releases i can't say the same for her production team.

 

In Cinema TTEOTW was fast paced and thrilling from start to finish. Interspersed with Monston it loses a lot of this and, as many have said, this is a cheat to call it 1 hour of 'unseen' footage'.

 

The subtitles used to be strategically placed about the place in a nice font - now in bold white they become v distracting - I can't understand quite everything in french but thankfully enough to turn them off.

 

And....critically no 'show must go on' as the credits roll. I need this version!!! where where where???? I have a theory that the reason this has gone is that a studio version is in the works (crosses fingers....)

 

Deluxe version thumbs up tho! Lovin the postcards - esp Europe! Very Europop.

 

I'm not complaining too much - I am seriously loving these- but a few gripes - could have done with:

 

The original cinema version on the dvd plus additional hour of 'deleted scenes' (none of them being Monston) (but not complaining at the extra Manc footage of course lol)

Queen Medley, MHWGO/IA Remix etc on CD someplace apart from QVC USA

Original subtitles

Original credits sequence with SMGO 'studio' edit

Instead of Monston as bonus disc for deluxe edition, a DVD of selected 'rare songs' from the tour from each country - e.g. Music in me Dubai, Think Twice Manc, World to Believe in Tokyo and why why why no woman in me? I love love love that song.

 

They really need 'fans' overseeing what goes into these as well as marketing 'experts'.

 

But all in all - soooo lovin Céline's music all over again and well, isn't that what this is all about??

i agree with your post. CTTEOTW is an amaaaazing documentary from start to finish. i was so impressed with that film. i like how it was all "digitazed" and stuff if you know what i mean the pacing was perfect. and it was so sad, funny, joyful, i was crying like a baby through the whole thing. thanks alot Celine lol

i dont love her, I adoreeee that woman so much. X 100000. i rated the dvd a perfect 10! when i got home i watched the dvd again, but the only thing i noticed that could of been better was that the same songs from the concert were used in between the dvd footage. and thats totally not Celine's fault just the editor. but it doesn not take away from the dvd in any way. its the best dvd documentary i have ever seen. and michael jackson is second i think.

now, I want to ask you: "are you sure that this is really Celine Dion singing in the DVD"

 

Why they didn't show that in the movie? Instead of showing the Boston performance twice

WOW It's a way better performance than the one included in the DVD Loved the variations she did to the high notes starting on 4:05

[artistman2007]

Actually I just wished that she didn't apear that much without any make it was too much scenes and she looked really wired sometimes olso she made me feel really how hard is it for her doing all that I mean the part with the doctors what she was saying couldnt breath her ears her neck every thing was stressed and shel flip soon I always thought it was really easy for her just to sing but she's doing so much to appear the way she is

Sorry, maybe it's just me...

Watching all those awsome performances on YouTube makes me sad

[nature boy]

Can I complain that we pre-ordered this AGES ago from cd.com (which they took the money for straight away I should add ) and it's just bloody being shipped!

[davidjag79]

My one and only complaint is... on The deluxe edition TTEOTW dvd they totally made a mistake the TTEOTW disc was actually the TC World Tour and the TC World Tour disc was TTEOTW movie

HELLO?! Was anyone even awake when they were putting any of this together?

[tonybower]

I have to say I love the DVD so I hate to post in this thread but I have made some observations which people might not like so this seems to be the safest place. If anybody is still reading this thread, I'd also like some answers to a few questions.

 

Firstly, it is immediatley obvious to me when Celine is lipping, not because of her expressions, but because of the robotic, mechanical quality to the note. I love all the new versions of the different songs but compare the deep, rich tone of BYLM to the shrill, mechanical quality of TLYM. Is this just the effects of too much digitalisation or does Celine need more help in the studio? I accept that she might not produce the high notes like she used to and it doesn't bother me one bit... I love her new rawness and edginess... but why do they feel the need to recreate a perfect note for the lipped tracks? It sounds terrible and so clearly engineered. I would much rather hear a faltering note than listen to a robot. Could someone in the know explain why it sounds so mechanical?

 

Also, like most people, I don't approve of the editing. I love the show and Céline is absolutely stunning and gorgeous throughout. However, poor editing detracts from the energy and sincerity of the live concert. I love the new versions of TPOL etc but like many am annoyed when I see the audience clapping, singing and cheering yet hear nothing. Was the audience dubbed out or the song added later. It seems she is lipping to the new version rather than the old so was the audience just digitally removed? Either way, I don't like it.

 

Also, I HATE that the footage is taken from Boston AND Montreal. Why? It's bad enough when they film the show over several nights at the same venue but to have them from completely different countries... I might be wrong but wasn't Live a Paris filmed in one night? This is Celine's best concert I think, it is live and she has so much energy and the crowd is buzzing and yet it is all so simple. Celine and her band. Nothing more. But the Taking Chances DVD lacks the vitality... the live shows did not but the DVD does not quite capture the electricity. I don't know from one scene to the next which concert I'm watching and the consistency errors (esp. with regards to dancers appearing and disappearing mid-song) are too distracting. How does the song still look and sound live when they are clearly switching between shows? Obviously the sound is taken from one show but she never looks like she is lipping the live songs... how can this be? She can't have sung the songs exactly the same on two differnet nights...

 

I guess my main moan is that we can never know what show we are watching or what version of the songs we are listening to.

 

Now for my questions: in the French DVD do they use the same footage for the English songs? I mean, are the performances of RDMH, ABM, TPOL etc exactly the same as in the English DVD? If so, I'm very disappointed! Why would they do that? Lipped or not, they would look and feel different and I want to see the performances as they happened on the night!

 

Secondly, is it true that there is no screaming/ad-libbing in Je Sais Pas and other songs? I have to say, hearing this live made me so happy and these little additions gave new life to the song. Where they edited out or did she just no do them on the night?

 

Thirdly,dos anybody else think that she sings more of TPOL live in the new version. Obviously, the last note and most of the high bits are lipped but other parts sound (and look) live. I'm sure I'm just imagining it but would be nice if it were true. I mean, her jaw moves a lot less. In Vegas, she picked up the awful habit of moving her jaw during long notes to compensate for the fact that she wasn't singing but this is a lot less noticeable here. Do you think she has been told by her people (who have seen discussions on this forum) or is she actualy singing more of her songs live?

 

Hope someone can answer. I'm going to stop complaining now before I sound ungrateful. We are so lucky to have so much available to us and regardless of flaws, Celine is magnificent throughout. It's just a shame her people don't seem to have enough respect for her to do things just right.

 

I'm off to listen to TPOL for the 100th time today!

I'm off to listen to TPOL for the 100th time today!

 

UGH! Second time replying to this. My message was all typed and I pressed the back button.

 

1. Live a Paris was filmed over two nights. Remember, it has the biggest editing blunder of them all. A cordless mic on one night and a regular mic on the next.

 

2. Most of the footage is the same, but it is different in the "appropriate" times. In English concerts, she ends IDAN in the center to do TPOL. I think she normally does in French concerts to when she does TPOL, but in this one she ended it by the cat walk or some other random place so she could do J'Irai Ou Tu Iras. Hmm, this makes me wonder if they used footage from 8/15 or 8/16 because I know on one of those nights she did not do TPOL while on both of the DVD filming nights she did. Also, there are minor differences during the Queen Medley where she is talking to the crowd. New Mego's Flamenco was slightly different too I think. The first few seconds of LCMM in Montreal has a nice ad lib where she yells the word "Yeah!" in a high pitched voice. MHWGO is also different. Remember, in English Concerts it is the last song so right before the climax she comes off the center thing that is in the air and runs across the stage. In Montreal, she stays on that for the entire song. Additionally, PQTME and My Love are completely different in not only the vocals, but the video too. A few of the wide range audience shots are the same in My Love, but other than that, it's different.

 

3. Yes, it's unfortunately true that there is no high ad libs during JSP. It wasn't because it was edited out though, but actually because she did not do those notes on the filmed nights. I believe she only did them on the 15th and/or the 16th. The Alone adlibs however, were performed during 3 of the 4 filmed shows. It's a shame they took the performance form the one show she didn't do an ad lib. Same with the RDMH ad libs. The ones from the DVD were weak compared to the better ones.

 

4. TPOL from the DVD was just as lipped as it has been since she had been using the pre-recorded track in 1993. Yeah, it may sound and look more live, but don't be fooled...it isn't live! This also goes to slightly disprove your point about it being "obvious"....if a huge fan like yourself can question it possibly being live, than we know that the average fan buying the DVD will certainly NEVER suspect it to be lipped.

 

Hope I cleared some things up for you...

[tonybower]

Thanks for the reply. I guess I knew deep down that TPOL was lipped in the same way it always has been but part of me hoped it wasn't. Much of it has that tinny, robotic quality to it that I mentioned but a lot of it doesn't. I think it only kicks in for the high notes.

 

As for Live a Paris, I suspected it was filmed over two nights but I had never noticed the editing blunders. I always thought she used the chordless mic when lipping to Misled but a regular mic for all others. Doesn't she put the regular mic down at some stage before Misled starts? Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if she did decided to go chordless on the second night: I always remember watching it and thinking how she managed not to trip with all that wire around her! I'll probably watch it now and be disappointed by glaring inconsistencies.

 

I'm glad they had the good sense to use the different versions of MHWGO and ML - I assume PQTME is different as it is the last song? I just hope it is more impressive than the Boston version... she always gives an amazing performance of this song but the Boston version left me uninspired...

 

Thanks again for answering some of my queries!

I actually don't own LAP, so it's possible you are right - this is just something I've heard many people on here say.

 

As for PQTME, it is different because in Montreal it is the encore (black dress), while in Boston it's just in the middle of the concert where she is not wearing the encore dress.

 

 

Checked about 12 or so songs from the concert and the only ones with the cordless was Vole and Misled....

Edited June 2, 2010 at 09:07 AM by Tyler1991

[tonybower]

Well, I'll definitely be watching it again and will look out for any editing errors. However, I always remember thinking she was foolish for swapping mics for Misled as this drew attention to the fact that it is lipped - especially as she wasn't lipping to a prerecorded 'live' track. She moves around a lot for this song so this could be a reason but then she is up and down the stage for Prierre Paienne and LCMM with a regular mic so it never added up for me.

As for Vole, I never noticed the mic on this song but I imagine a chordless facilitated movement through the curtains which could explain the choices made.

 

Either way, the show still remains my favourite... it's so good you don't even notice the errors. Although, there is one moment during Les derniers seront les premiers where Celine can clearly be seen leaning over and kissing JJG even though she can be heard singing. I always thought this meant she was lipping and had been caught out but no doubt it was poor editing and the kiss came at some other point...

Do you have youtube videos for that? I would love to see those ad libs you say in Alone and RDMH!!

[Davey84]

I bet they choose performances that were the most close to the album version!

[fan2celinedion]

I bet they choose performances that were the most close to the album version!

Absolutely! That's it Davey

Yes she looked and sounded better in this DVD (I mean the french one) but I had a great time watching AND DVD because in 1 DVD you had:

a FULL show (no editing, everything was here and we had a MHWGO instrumental at the end)

BONUS:

- Meeting with the fans I loved her, I loved her fans (but not someone )

- The same full show but filmed backstage this time, and with before/after the show

- The story of AND, she looked great in that interview

For me that was a great DVD! I enjoyed it...

 

I didn't enjoy the new releases: I've waited much too long and I expected them to do better than AND with all the things they filmed but they didn't! I was too much into "rerecorded playbacks, Montreal/Boston scenes" that I couldn't enjoy the show, I didn't enjoy the movie because I started to get tired of always skipping the full performances that I also had in my french and english DVD

In those 3 releases many things were repeated

I bought 3 different things but it's like I payed to see the same thing 3 Times

Those were the extras that lacked this new concerts, I agree I miss more backstage footage during the concert and more details about the world tour, not that much "family life and facts" that we have in the movie, which is cool, but I'm one of those fans who are more into the "music" itself (and I won't apologize for that )

You're right again The concerts are splendidly shot, and I'm very happy with these releases, but repeating the same performances in the french concert as in the english one is one mistake that I can't overlook It's even disturbing as you say, that you want to watch the "french" concert, supposedly something that should be a whole new experience because its a separate release, but when it comes to the english songs you have to skip them because its like "I have seen those in other DVD, they don't belong to this day, its not this concert" and pafff, the feeling flops, its gone

 

Having so many hours and taped concerts and after 2 years they do this poor editing?? Daaahhh

 

I believe they've been TOO lazy, better say, extremely lazy doing this poor editing, and fans (especially french ones) don't deserve that. I can understand that they are disgusted with this concert

[fan2celinedion]

The concerts are splendidly shot [...] but when it comes to the english songs you have to skip them because its like "I have seen those in other DVD, they don't belong to this day, its not this concert" and pafff, the feeling flops, its gone

Yes that's it!

Why on earth is Josyceline in Montreal and :Josh: in Boston????

[maceta_biloxi]

Yeah they mixed all the general songs (IDAN, EOM, ABM, etc) only the french songs are unique for the french DVD and some english songs are unique for the english DVD, the thank you/merci and some speeches are unique too, but the general songs are the same in both DVDs.

Yes. I'm quite sure that song wasn't lipped. It's generally been agreed upon that Celine has never lipped any of her French stuff on tour. As for Misled, I could be mistaken but I could have sworn that she WAS using a separately pre-recorded track. It's possible she wasn't for the D'eux Tour, but I know that she definitely was for the FIY tour. As for the mic swap, I don't really see how that draws attention to it being lipped. It's very subtle and I doubt people will notice. Plus, why would it be anymore likely to be lipped with a cordless mic than a regular mic. It's not like TCOML Special and TCOML DVD/Concert where she used the hands-free/attach-to-face mic for the up tempo songs... I always thought that was funny, lol!

Do you have youtube videos for that? I would love to see those ad libs you say in Alone and RDMH!!

 

She did the Alone ones in nearly every performance and did the RDMH ones in the Boston shows and the Montreal shows. Just look for bootlegs in the month of August and you're sure to find it!
