Treat Her Like A Lady? Really? That's a really random choice. It's not the greatest song, I like it, but still. I'm really happy she's doing such a rare song though! :D :clap:

OMG, OMG, OMG!!! Treat Her Like A Lady!!! :clap: :kicking: :whee: This is one of my fav Celine songs ever! It's so upbeat and fun. I was praying she would add this song to her show in vegas, instead of LCMM. I hope this means it will be considered for her show in Vegas!!

 

I am sooooo happy right now!!! :-D

Celine Dion Booking: A Major Boost to Jamaica, Caribbean

December 19, 2011

By: Joe Pike

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Across the Caribbean Diaspora, Jamaican promoter Walter Elmore's Art of Music Productions' (AMP) successful bid to attract mega star Celine Dion to the 2012 Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival is being viewed as a boost for Jamaica, the festival and for the Caribbean in general.

 

Two years ago when the organization began its efforts to entice the musical icon to the festival, they had no idea how they could pull it off.

 

"But I'm a firm believer that if you have an idea, you work at it," says Elmore, AMP's chairman. "If you don't try you'll never succeed."

 

Inking the deal, Elmore says, took some "jumping through hoops" but now that all systems are set for Dion's first performance in the Caribbean, he is understandably very excited. "Her production team is amazing and has been working with my team to make sure that everything's in place. It is going to be an exceptional show," he promises.

 

Dion, one of the best selling female recording artistes of all time, is also excited about the opportunity to perform for her fans in the Caribbean.

 

As she emailed to Elmore: "I am looking forward to doing my very first show in the Caribbean and this is an honor for me to perform at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival. What a beautiful way to meet the people of Jamaica on this, my first trip to the island. I just can't wait."

 

Scheduled to perform on the Friday night of the festival, which runs from January 26 to 28, Dion is expected to woo her fans with classics.

 

In honor of Jamaica's 50th Anniversary of Independence, the opening night of the festival is dedicated to all the rich sounds that have shaped Jamaica's music over the past 50 years, and so it will feature ska, rocksteady, dancehall and reggae, the island nation's influential contributions to world music.

I think that artists performing at the festival do a complete set (or half)....so not just 1-2 songs. I remember there being a rumour about 3 years ago she would be performing there or at another jazz festival, but it didn't happen....

 

 

Yeah she was supposedly scheduled to perform at the Tobago Jazz Festival back in 2010 ((I think)) but that got cancelled...which pissed me off but that's another story. The artists are usually there live and perform for close to an hour but the headline act is longer than that.

From celinedion.com

 

"Starting January 9, the Montreal radio station CJAD 800, in conjunction with MONTRÉAL en SANTÉ Magazine and Air Canada, is holding a contest to win a trip to see Celine at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival in Trelawny-Montego Bay on January 27! To enter, all you have to do is listen to the morning and afternoon shows on CJAD 800 and text in whenever you hear Celine. Good luck!"

Yes, I did listen yesterday. They give the word that you have to text in at 7h15 am and 4h45pm. You thème have to wait for like 30-45 min when they draw a name and that person qualifies for the trip and wins CTTEOTW. :)

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

J't'adore Céline.

Merci.

does she has time to rehearsal new songs? or she will do the same songs?

 

my wish list

 

1. Le Ballet

2. Summertime

3. Water from the moon

4. With This tear

5. If You asked me to

6. At last

7. fever

8. A song for you (taking chances)

9. just a little bit of love

10. when the wrong one loves your right

11. New Song

12. New Song

13 Medley: Where does my heart beat now\ My love\ I surrender

14. Tous Les Blues Sont Ecrits Pour Toi

15. I've got the music in me

16. It's a man's world

17. New song

18. Nature Boy

 

Now that's a wonderful setlist!

 

It would be a dream to hear Tous Les Blues live! If she remembers she has recorded it.

 

Je Crois Toi is one of her best songs ever!! Just so you know.

 

I am not that thrilled THLAL is gonna be sung, but hey anything except the booring standards! :thumbsup2: So THAT WAS the reason why they named her singer/songwriter. And I who had hopes she'd do a new song she had written herself.

 

I'm Alive is a must. The first time I heard it I thought of a sunny summer island with palm trees.

 

 

 

I actually thought this was just a rumour just like the other Jazz festival a couple of years ago. But now it's official and with songs from Etta James, Dinah Washington and Billie Holliday on the new album the chances are great she'll perform some wonderful jazz classics!

Peace and love to all.

But what we know by now she will sing mostly songs from Vegas show, and few another one of them is Treat her like a lady.

Treat Her Like A Lady isn't a random choice, it's one of Celine's few R&B standards.

 

I say THLAL, RDMH, MHWGO, BYLM, Paganini...and...maybe..Le Ballet?

I hope we will get a new song there, it'd be another occasion they miss if they won't do so

I'm on board with you, Angel2006! :whee:

For the longest time ever when THLAL was released, I've always disliked the song...that is until 2010, and now I LOVE IT! :)

I would love for her to sing Le Ballet too, but doesn't seem likely.

When is the concert taking place?

 

Ok, I've just seen its on the 27th of January so, in a week...

 

I'm wondering if we'll be able to watch it on streaming: http://jamaicajazzandblues.com/

 

There's a link on the web that says Jazz Live and it looks like its a streaming...

 

 

BTW!!! There are two womens talking about her! They're saying that they are excited for their perfomance, that they've been in Vegas and it was amazing that she rocks and that they're looking forward her comeback.

So Celine performs here on 27th, and according to Rene will resume recording the new English album a few days later on the 31st. I hope she is in good voice :D

Just heard the sad news that Etta James has died, I wonder if Celine would sing "At Last" in tribute? Not likely but it would be nice.

Oh no! :confused: I was really hoping for them to do a duet together, perhaps for Céline's upcoming album since it will contain songs from the good old days.

Peace and love to all.

Wouldn't be surprised if this somehow gets cancelled.

 

Anyway, does the festival air on television? Someone said it does, but it's usually months later?
