Céline to perform at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)
In fact, I think it's mainly because the Jamaica show is a smaller copy of her current Las Vegas show, as some people here pointed out, and her team didn't want to give it for free already by broadcasting it online.

So true! Sur Les Plaines wasn't really a real Celine concert (too much of solo performances by other singers and too much duets).

 

But what I'm interested in hearing is Pour sue tu maims encore, Treat Her Like a Lady, I'm Alive, I Drove All Night... Those songs. I don't care to hear the Vegas songs. I want to hear the songs she hasn't sung lately. Especially the upbeat ones... I'm dying to be reminded that Céline can still be young, fresh, upbeat... And not just an aging Vegas singer whose most upbeat song is

I was expecting the debut of her new single during this event, but I'm glad she didn't sing it 'cause her part wasn't broadcasted. I don't know if it was recorded, but definitely not broadcasted live. The setlist was good in my opinion, like a mix of her latest world tour and her current show in Las Vegas. I wonder why she didn't perform some songs from the A New Day Has Come and Taking Chances albums. Both title tracks from this couple of albums would have worked really great in an event of this type.

 

I'm still very curious about I Drove All Night. Wanna know, like I said earlier today, which playback she used ('cause I'm almost 100% sure she did not sing it live). I'm also curious about the reaction of the audience to Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore, I don't know if it's a famous song for the jamaican audience; but definitely for her fans there. I really hope she did that "sing along" part she used to do while touring in certain places. That's quite a powerful moment.

 

I can't describe how anxious I am for Treat Her Like A Lady and I'm Alive, but specially for the first one. I am quite sure that the remix of IA was the one from the world tour. We only have 1 live performance of THLAL (and it's from 1998, which was 14 years ago). I wonder how she sang this song last night.

 

The rest of the setlist is quite clear, I'm sure WDMHBN was done with the Vegas playback, the same for the IACBTMN/TPOL medley. I'm also convinced that Beauty and the Beast was performed in the shortened version from the Vegas show. Another interesting point is Mr. Paganini; I love its new arrangement.

Yeap THLAL is really a miracle but still she could have done sth else during such a gig - it's festival after all, not promotion for her show....

I thought that the concept of the festival would make them do sth else.

I wish she had sung sth from ANDHC but I'm surprised she didn't do TC or A which were great during the tour and are quite new and would work at this event

 

but seriously there is no footage yet? Not even the crappy one?:P

I hope manolo won't let us down

Merci Céline pour ces deux soirées inoubliables que j'ai passées à tes côtés. Je ne les oublierais jamais.

J't'adore Céline.

Merci.

I prefer the dress she wears in Vegas over that one, but I much prefer the shoes she wore in Jamaica. I really don't care for the ones she wears in Vegas.

Quick question: Why did Celine perform at this festival? Obviously, we are all thrilled about it. But out of the countless festivals and opportunities throughout the world that she could take part in, why this one?

Interview in Jamaica:

 

Celine Dion is sharing her thoughts on fellow music superstar Madonna performing in next week's Super Bowl halftime show, and disclosed why she herself won't be up on that stage.

 

Celine tells The Trend on Zappos Couture, "I'm not going to be performing at the Super Bowl because I'm pretty booked, I'm in Las Vegas right now at Caesars Palace doing a lot of shows so I won't be at the Super Bowl."

 

"But I love Madonna and know her well," she continued. "I know she'll do just fine, she doesn't need any luck. She's going to do her thing, she's going to do what she does best, she's going to give us something for us to remember. She's going to be great, just fine."

 

Madonna's Super Bowl Special Guest: Cee Lo!

 

Celine also opened up about how she's balancing life with twin one-year-olds Eddie and Nelson, and her Las Vegas show. "My schedule is hard because I sing at night and I want to be with my babies during the day and I have twins and they are not sleeping good," the working mom shared.

 

"They are in my room and they wake up five-six times a night. Two babies, so that mean 10 to 12 times a night. I can't let them cry," she says, breaking into Bob Marley's No Woman, No Cry. "I can't let them cry so I wake up, and [say], 'It's okay.' [They] want to be with mommy and mommy wants to be with them, and then the next day, sometimes it's hard, for me too."

^ So, she turned down the opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl? :hmm:

 

Apparently. :confused:

 

Sometimes I hate Vegas. :'(

Interesting that she is talking about Madonna on Super Bowl, it seems they asked her about it.

Did anyone from the forum go to the festival and Did you record Treat Her Like A Lady? I really hope we get video soon!!

Okay, I despise Vegas. Just imagine the amazing albums we could've had over the past 10 years since ANDHC if it weren't for the trap that is Vegas.

The only one from the forum that went was Manolo. If there was anyone else from the forum that went, they didn't say so :lol: There were two girls from a separate group called the Red Heads that went but they are not affiliated with us. I'm sure their videos will be forthcoming :)

She has never performed in Jamaica. Why not?

 

I've read a lot of articles over the years about how huge she is there...in fact a few articles actually claimed that even Jamaican gangsters love Celine

I've read on the Jamaica Jazz Fest's Facebook that last year's headline's performance by Maroon 5 wasn't broadcasted live either, so it might be because of an arrangement with HBO or any TV network that's gonna air the Festival later this year :shrug:

 

Anyway, I can't wait to see some vids !!! :maniac:

Absolutely not. There's a reason they blocked the show from being shown live, and I am 99% sure it is because her Vegas playbacks were used in the show. Any official release would ruin a future Vegas DVD, as they would have to dub the vocals again like they did for the TCWT DVD.

After seeing that photo I think I prefer it to the one she actually wears in Vegas for the Bond Medley. It looks AMAZING! :w00t:

 

I have a feeling that bond dress may ''possibly'' replace the black one... hmmm

Like anything else they choose they to do these days? Money!

 

I have to admit to being fairly surprised that we've not seen one single bit of footage at all yet and i'm certainly surprised the concert wasn't streamed live. As someone has already mentioned most, if not all, music festivals broadcast their headline acts live online and on national TV. Certainly here in the UK the major festivals are broadcast live as they happen whoever is headlining. The BBC made a HUGE fuss over Beyonce's headline performance at Glastonbury last year and, yes you guessed it, streamed it live online and broadcast it on national television.

 

The ONLY reason I can imagine that broadcast rights weren't allowed for this performance was due to her contract with Caesars Palace. What else could it be? It just beggars belief that they have chosen to set up in Las Vegas again (nothing wrong with that) and the ONE performance she gives away from there that her worldwide audience might have a chance to see they block us all out. Unbelievable!

 

Now the positives there's no doubt that Celine looks AMAZING at the moment, she's never looked better in fact. I only hope she sounded as good. I'm not gonna discuss the playback issue again, I just hope the songs we know are performed live are amazing. I'm also looking forward to hearing the "non Vegas" songs, in particular "I'm Alive."

 

I think people who are forever requesting songs like "Taking Chances" and "A New Day Has Come" have to finally accept songs like these are not considered part of the "classics" and have had all the live performances we're going to see of them. Sad but probably true. We'll always have "the classics" - you know the ones - and we'll get new songs performed when new albums are released and then quickly forgotten about again.

Gotta love the title, "The thigh's the limit for Celine Dion who shows off her svelte legs in a daring slit gown for performance at Jazz festival" It's more about her legs and wardrobe than anything else. :lol: The writer must be envious. :P

Friggin gorgeous! Could almost turn a good boy straight.
