The reason looked live to me....why would it be lipped for the press anyway? I loved it!

[Prima_Donna1]

The WAAF, LMBTL, and the The Reason performances were awesome and amazing!

[Tyler1991]

Why the hell she lipping a random album track from 16 years ago when she has a new album in a week? The Reason being lipped and performed is idiotic...

[celine_rox]

I liked the lower key arrangement of LMBTL here better than Jimmy.

The reason was lipped?!?! Argh Sounds live...? =\ Edited October 30, 2013 at 03:50 AM by stone

probably second best after Québec. But in terms of stage presence she wasn't stiff at all. I couldn't believe at how much she moved during the choruses without making her voice shaky!

Definitely! Quebec is still my fave but this is def close behind!

All By Myself

Best performance of this song so far during the promo. She looked so pleased with her performance at the end!

 

Gotta say though the guy (who I'm assuming filmed this) singing along was kinda of annoying.

It was smart to invite all those bloggers and industry people

 

It was basically a free promo-fest

[c4n4d4]

Pretty sure MHWGO was live and not lipped.

RH just posted MP3 of the concert to download

Sounds live to me too...the part from 4:37-5:23 looks a bit suspect, but the rest looks live to me!

[Brady]

I think MWGO was live. :cry: Dont tell me i'm wrong :cry: please :cry:

Agreed. Part of it may have been lipped after the key change but I think the majority of it was live

[Kristinaz]

Agreed. Part of it may have been lipped after the key change but I think the majority of it was live

4:37 and afterwards for sure is lipped dunno bout the rest but for sure the beginning is live. I listened to the mp3 version and the video version and I'm still not too sure.

From the setlist I'd say it's gonna be a TV special around the end of November as they've done in the past. That would explain her singing her "hits" and only a few of the new tracks. It looked like a fun atmosphere with the people right at the stage instead of sitting at tables looking all refined. LOL I'm glad a good amount of our Forum folks got in.

 

People there said there weren't professional cameras. I hope to dear god it's not for a tv special.

I think this was lipped... except for that last part where she goes live again "because of you... hmmmm" so it's a mix...

[CelinesDIVO5]

I love at 17! I'm sad it was such a snorefest.....but at the same time for as few songs as she did, more uptempo ones would've been better. But I get where they were coming from with this setlist.

 

It was not a snore fest...AT ALL...just because the audience was quiet while she performed it doesn't mean it was boring. It's just that type of song, and I was perfect for the setting of this concert.

Words cannot describe how incredibly jealous I am of all the people that got to go to this. Just to be in such a small venue is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and she looked like she was having a blast. Just WOW

HELLO COOL CATS! here's the playlist from tonight's Edison Ballroom performance... more details to come! (Um i wrote this in the dark so i can't quite figure out everything, but to the best of my knowledge...)

 

It's All Coming Back To Me Now

The Power of Love

Where Does My Heart Beat Now (AMAZING!)

Because You Loved Me

The Reason

Water and a Flame

Loved Me Back To Life

All By Myself(!)

Love Can Move Mountains

River Deep Mountain High

My Heart Will Go On

 

 

A new concert with almost only old songs? How can she ever present herself doing new things? She couldhave sung the whole album. Doesnt she think people are getting tired of hearing the same old songs year after year after year?

[CelinesDIVO5]

Okay guys, so the day went like this....

 

 

Christine and Jamie were at The Edison Ballroom by 11:30am. (My @ss was not going to be there that early as I had been up for over 36 hours between work on Sunday, The Today Show, and TRYING to get into Jimmy Fallon, and stalking her hotel...the latter 3 which happened on Monday..me, a zombie with 25 minutes of sleep.) I met with Christine, Jamie, Matt #2, and Valentina around 4:30pm, Tal arrived around 6:15. Matt #2 was very good at charming some of The Edison Ballroom's staff to make them aware that "Hey, we love Celine and we're right here if you want to let us in!" So, we decided we were not going to leave until the doors were totally closed off and they had let everyone that had won the contests in. I eventually grew the balls to get Patrick's attention, and he was a little busy and said he'd be back out shortly. He came out a few times, but it was only to bring press and record execs in, so I never got to speak with him. I spoke to Chuck Taylor (Hey buddy!) and got a photo with him, and he felt bad that we weren't able to get in because he knows that we all love Celine as much as he does. Anyway, all 7 of us were standing outside by ourselves by 7pm, which was when the show was supposed to start. Matt #2 had noticed that one of the Pandora people he spoke to was talking to 2 other girls about us. Then she went inside, and 5 minutes later there was a Columbia Records exec outside asking if we were fans...to which we all replied "YES!!!" and he unhooked the velvet rope to let us in, while one of the Pandora employees said "No, we were told not to do this..." and he turned around and said "They are fans, and they are coming in!" All 7 of us got in!!! The venue was serving hors de ouvres and there was an open bar...champagne was definitely a must at this point. We felt like the luckiest people in the world. And the best part is we got in as honest fans...just for being fans. Which is a whole lot more than I can say for other people...but I digress. Celine made her entrance through the crowd. I'm not going to go through every song because you all already know the setlist. But I am going to say, that she has these new songs NAILED. I am so surprised at how well she is tackling them when this is the first time she's actually singing them live (with the exception of LMBTL). It was such a euphoric experience. We all of course waited for Celine outside of the venue, and she signed some autographs, one of them being my poster that was handed out after the concert. I am still in shock that this even happened to us. We were all ready to leave when they decided to let us in. I feel like I put some good energy out there when I took my jacket off and mustered up the courage to talk to Patrick...even though it didn't happen. And Matt #2 was fantastic at shmoozing the staff at The Edison. It was such a wonderful night, and it was so much better in the fact that I got to share it with 6 other amazing people.

 

 

 

Now...for my critique on the posts I've read since concert info has been revealed in previous posts. I am so over some of you being so damned negative!!! It's like you have your own personal black clouds to bring to this forum. Are you EVER happy with anything that Celine does?!?! So many of you are lacking so much joy!!! This was a promo for the album...not a listening party. She did a FREE concert ..which was more than an hour long from start to finish. AND sang all 3 of the new songs that she performed LIVE..and did them AMAZINGLY. Of course she's going to sing some of her older popular songs. That's what singers do!! She could have farted into the microphone for all I care...it was free, and in an intimate setting, which we have ALL wanted her to do for so long. Some of you are just never happy with the big picture and you have to nit pick at small, asinine details. Cry a river, build a bridge and get the hell over it. "I'm really disappointed in the set list"...really?!?! How about noticing how happy she was in those videos to have all those fans so close to her, and how much fun she was having performing in such an intimate setting. Have some of you become so jaded that you can't even notice the positive of the things this woman does anymore?? Sometimes, reading posts here makes me nauseous and that's really sad, because we should come here to celebrate her. Not take her down.
