Michael Jackson medley replaced with Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"

[Shaun]

one thing's for sure: she can't please everybody. I agree with her on paying tribute to Adele, she is a fan after all so, why not? Some fans are always complaining 'cause she's always singing old songs from the past century, and when she finally goes for a current song, they disagree?!

 

Exactly, that was the point I was trying to make in my original post in this thread also.

 

We'd all love it if she sung one of her own songs instead but the fact is they've made the decision to remove the Jackson songs and replace them with a modern pop song. I don't see the issue.

you know, I had a friend here , some time ago and I showed him parts of Celine's Vegas show. And I said; what do you think about it? ( he is not a fan of Celine at all ) Well, he sing a bit along with the bond medley and some other songs. But he said, it's kind of okay, but the original songs by the original artist are way better, I rather hear Shirley Bassey singing this ( Bond). And he asked me, why does she cover all these songs? Doesn't she have songs of her own? why soo much covers?

 

- You see, it is not only what we think, but that is what other people, that even don't like Celine, think.

There is an enormous difference between a tribute and a cover/interpreting a song you love. The MJ tribute was all about MJ. I doubt there will be an Adele story and all of that, haha! I am excited to hear how Celine will perform this recent relevant and faster song. And as Celine Fan 77 said before, it's true that you can't please everybody, but hopefully it will be a nice change. I feel like this is a Celinesque risk. Something new for her- and I love the idea and that there is a change at all Edited June 7, 2012 at 11:34 AM by Scramasboy

She can't do a Whitney tribute- she can't just keep replacing the 'artist she's honouring' with the next one who dies. That's tacky and insensitive and very commercially immoral. I'm excited by this

[Céline's Blues]

Relax, guys. It's not that she has 30+ albums and some 500+ songs to choose from! Where else get an inspiration than from retired Chuck Taylor's Billboard Hot 100? She saw: Adele! SING SING ME ME

 

VEGAS BABY GREETINGS

 

Rene: OK.

[nano]

oh..what a surprise! Can't wait to hear it

Yes. Your friend represents the entire non-Celine fanbase. All hail him! Nevermind the fact that the new show's covers are one part of why it got the best critic's reviews of her career and many non fans' reviews list the unexpected covers as highlights

 

Also

 

What about the song "US" or "Miles to Go before I sleep" ( good ending of the show)

 

 

oh wait..were u being serious

[browseceline]

well that is your opinion. But you have to admit that this Vegas show is just one bunch of covers and has nothing Celine in it, yes just a few songs. And if they all like it, they don't represent the whole audience of Celine Dion, and no my friend does not represent the whole non-Celine audience either. And about the songs I mentioned, there are enough songs she could choose to bring in the show, instead of all those covers from other artists.

[celinesounds]

the best idea - Fresh song and everybody knows the song

[JCeline85]

So no more Michael Jackson medley... That's kind of a big chunk of time to replace with just one song.. I hope this means we get a full length version of another song or two to make up for the time. It'll be good to hear her sing an Adele song but I'm curious to see how it'll fit with transitions etc

[celinefanonline]

well i don't mind she do like a medley to pay tribute to those people passed away.... maybe like man in the mirror , i will always love u or i have nothing then end with immortality! that would be cool!

[ghazal]

thats amazing...!!!!

[MrTim212]

Well, the fact that she's doing all these covers doesn't seem to be hurting ticket sales.

 

In all seriousness, some of the covers are the best songs in the show! Namely: Mr. Paganini, At Seventeen and Ne me quittee pas.

 

I'm actually really excited to hear her sing "Rolling in the Deep" as well.

[Shamrock_1982]

Not impressed as I can't stand adele or her music... And to get rid of the mj tribute for it is stupid. This song could have replaced another cover in the show but like some have said it leaves space for another song so I hope she adds a rare one of her own as she had plenty!!!

I think it's a brilliant move. Look, everybody I know from Grandmothers to my own 60 year old mom love ADELE's Rolling in the Deep.....someone like you etc. And if there's one Diva who has the voice to sing it, it's s Celine. And for any 'younger' audience members, they will love it. You can't go wrong. MJ tribute sounded great, but I think this is fresh and new and BRILLIANT!

 

CANT WAIT

[Tyler1991]

Good, let's hope we can replace these two boring lipped songs with one live song. Assuming this isn't yet another random addition to the show only to be lipped like many others.

[Jennifer]

Aw man... I personally loved the Michael Jackson tribute section. Loved it. I'm not thrilled with the new addition... but I guess I'll see on Saturday.

[Davey84]

I agree with all you said! the MJ tribute was nice, but it had its run. PLUS if she were to do tribute, the only fitting song is Immortality IMO!!

 

 

BUT I see it positively... if she's really into Adele that much, and she likes the new song(s) of her and her producer for Céline's album so much, then hopefully by the end of the year that will replace Rolling in the Deep!

[Alex_Incognito]

Of all songs they're replacing the Jackson Medley? I thought most people adored it. It was very well done. A beautiful tribute. The lights, the stools, it seemed to unite the audience.

 

Celine covering a new artist? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

 

If anything, replace the LCMM/RDMH medley. RDMH reached its height in AND. Ever since it's been a disappointment. LCMM, enough said.

Agreed. I was looking forward to seeing the MJ tribute again this weekend, so I'm pretty bummed. I really truly adored that part of the show. I'm bringing my husband to the show for the first time, and funny enough... he can't stand Adele. This will be interesting.

[mirage]

OMG cant you guys at least wait until you hear Celine singing that song?

 

I LOVE adele, i LOVE that song!

Imagine how it would sound with Celine's voice, i think she really can take it to another level

[CSCfan]

Hope that isn't the only change... The MJ medley was part of a whole block including the cello intro. Replacing about 10 minutes worth of music for only 1 song (3-4 mins)...hmm there's got to be more changes..

That's what I'm hoping too! They have to change something else..

[celinesounds]

I don't see any problem doing a recent song, Linkin Park did the same song months ago

[Shamrock_1982]

Could u imagine that after all the requests and moaning that they add tylam

[JCeline85]

That would be amazing! To hear that song live with the orchestra.. *sigh* we could only wish

[kerche]

There's no doubt that there will be at least another song or 2 to go with "Rolling in the Deep".

The question is ..... what is it?!!!! I'm happy that we only need to wait till Saturday to find out from forum members!!!!!

[Koolan]

No so sure how I feel about this.

[BLM]

"She’s confirmed that the Michael Jackson medley featured in her Caesars show has been cut from the new run. Instead, she will perform her version of Adele’s hit “Rolling in the Deep.” Celine also tapped Las Vegas soul king Ne-Yo for a duet on “It’s Incredible” for the new English album titled “Water and a Flame.” Inside buzz is that Ne-Yo and Celine will surprise one lucky audience one night with a live version during the new run of shows."

Amen. I agree with eveyone here .Someone need to talk to rene and tell him. the fans don't like it in the show
