Celine In Paris November 2013

[Your_Su_Phu]

Yes, I saw that exact thing. I am fed up with Celine doing this. I have NO idea why she went to Europe and performed among her repertoire a B-class title track off of her debut English album. It makes zero sense...and then she goes on to LIP it. Perform a (perhaps equally obscure) French song instead Celine, what the hell.....!

 

WDMHBN is not the title track to her debut, nor is it B-class. It was a top 5 hit in the US - in fact her first US hit.

I don't think I will ever understand the hate WDMHBN is getting right now....

[LuisMa]

For me WDMHBN was an amazing moment. I can't care less whether it was lipped or whatever. The visuals were great as well.

 

I can't even imagine myself going to a concert and trying to find a fault in a performance. I just sit there, let loose, relax, enjoy the moment, being with my hubby, and listen to the songs we both love.

[Celine Fan 77]

So... According to a recent video, she is staying at the 'Le Royal Eclaireur' hotel in Paris, can anybody confirm this? I'm planning to wait for her at the door so she can sign me something

Exactly.

 

And the general public doesn't know she's lipping a song, they're just happy to see her.

 

We are the ones who will always give her a hard time about that, and it seems we can't see anything else when we realize she's lipping a song.

 

Sometimes I think we want perfect live performances all the time, and that's impossible for any human being.

Sorry, by "title track" I meant lead single. I like the song, but it ranks nowhere near the caliber of her A-class material such as career-defining tracks or beautifully written songs ("Call the Man" "The Prayer" "Immortality"). She went to France to perform (and lip) her first US hit that was totally forgotten until her newest Vegas show. I just think it made little sense and could have been replaced by a French song.

It's not a random choice, far from it!! The year after she won Eurovision (in 1988), she went back in 1989 to introduce WDMHBT and it was the beginning of a veryyyyy long (English) career... And I still love that song as on Day 1. Here's the video from Eurovision 1989 - Céline is wearing blue leather from head to toe! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_za_NdU0tE Edited November 26, 2013 at 12:46 PM by Xpresso

Not for her, she once did that Between 1993 and 1996 she used to doing even better performances of her songs when she sang them live than in the studio version

 

And in all honesty, I still believe she CAN do better live performances today than in the studio. The only problem is that today she is so tired and bored of singing many songs. I'm still shocked to what french fans have commented in the red heads facebook about yesterday's concert

I agree that she was flawless around that time, but she often said in interviews that she didn't have a life back then. Her voice ruled her life. Now she's a different person, and it shows on her voice. I bet she's a lot happier now than she was then.

 

What did they say about the concert?

[CELINE MARIE]

today

[Kyle_Jared]

She looks cranky as hell

[littleames]

I love WDMHBN! Unison will forever be one of my go to albums! It also seemed live to me! If that was a 'hand sign' however, it seemed out of place lol! But I doubt anyone in the audience noticed it! I would have been too caught up in emotions!

[littleames]

Omg!! That scarf..I want it!

[Jessyka]

The scarf is beautiful, but she looks pissed.

[khader]

 

 

 

[Jessyka]

She does not look happy.

Maybe she read what some of the french press wrote about her concert last night.

[Xpresso]

Who wouldn't be cranky when people are waiting outside your hotel and screaming your name as soon as you step out... every single day! I would run out the back door...

[Javito]

I hope she did (though I highly doubt that). Maybe that's the only way so that she has a boost and realize that she needs to make some big changes in her concerts! She can do a lot better than yesterday.

[dmeredith]

She needs some time to relax. The poor woman has been doing too much. It's one thing to work, but another thing to have people begging for autographs and screaming your name every time you turn around. Celine is one who wants to give, but a person can only give so much in order to remain healthy and have enough energy for herself and her own family.

Maybe I can go find her and say "Hey, lets go have a girly day. I'll even hold your clothes that you pick out if you decide to shop "

and she will say yes.

Yes exactly! We all have our days. We just don't live them out in public.

Idk I wasn't there lol. I was referring to my previous post!

Press was so mean. And some fans don't even seem fans!

Don't know if you've been following the Survivor thread, but WDMHBN was voted one of the top 4 fan favorite English songs. It was also her breakthrough English song & a milestone in her career.

 

I adored seeing it in Vegas with the montage of clips from her career - i'm assuming that's what she used for this concert.

 

I think this whole show sounds amazing and I am SO jealous of all of you who got to see it!

[rhapsodion]

What did the press write about her concert in paris?

What did the press write about her concert in paris?
