“The Eyes of Christmas™" television special is the brainchild of blind activist and RP International (RPI) founder Helen Harris. The event features TheatreVision™ airings of Frank Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life,” which includes an optional simulcast audio track description on the SAP channel for the visually impaired, narrated by former President George Herbert Walker Bush. NBC will air the special on December 14th and December 24th at 8:00 p.m.

“The Eyes of Christmas” features a special 2 hour TheatreVision described holiday classic movie of Charles Dickens, “Scrooge” and a 30-minute broadcast program on Christmas Day hosted by Vin Scully on Christmas Eve and morning on ION Media Network, WE -Women’s Entertainment Network and FOX-KCOP Los Angeles.

Participating stars that will be sharing Holiday messages and support for RPI include Vin Scully, Celine Dion, Garth Brooks , Reba McEntyre, Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, Bob Costas and Natalie Cole. Hollywood studios supporting the show and featuring special film trailers include; Paramount (“Jack Ryan”), Universal (“47 Ronin,”), Disney (“Saving Mr. Banks”), Sony (“American Hustle”), 20th Century Fox (“Secret Life of Walter Mitty”) and Warner Bros. (“The Hobbit: Chase III”). Harris invites sighted viewers to tune in to take the "traveling eye test." This simple visual test is designed to help people spot possible signs of eye disorders to seek early diagnosis and treatment, possibly averting vision loss.

Awesome. As much as I want her to sing one of her Christmas songs, I'd rather her sing Breakaway. Though, it's not very Christmasy.

 

Whatever she performs, I'll be happy!

Good, I wonder if she'll be performing, but whatever aids the album prior to the shopping extravaganza, the better.

[comingback]

Great news!

[garçon]

She might not perform and just give a message... Edited December 10, 2013 at 05:30 PM by garçon

[helios.apollon]

we want her on NBCs THE VOICE finale... that's what I wanna hear!

[Javito]

Great!!! Please let them give us another Christmas performance from TAST, like she did in 2009 with Oh Come All Ye Faithful and Don't Save It All For Christmas Day (performed both for the FIRST time)!!!

[quaizee]

This is wonderful news! 2 Holiday specials!

 

I really hope they give us not only these appearances. LMBTL deserves a special (a TRUE special, not just a few performances ) kinda CBS sp.

 

*fingers crossed*

[Jessyka]

I don't think she'll perform. I guess she just recorded a holiday message.

[Javito]

I don't think she'll perform. I guess she just recorded a holiday message.

 

Oh no. What can be worst than a prerecorded performance (like the Whitney Houston tribute)? A prerecorded message

[Jessyka]

Oh no. What can be worst than a prerecorded performance (like the Whitney Houston tribute)? A prerecorded message

 

I know, right?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for a performance.

[LuisMa]

 

 

Oh no. What can be worst than a prerecorded performance (like the Whitney Houston tribute)? A prerecorded message

 

Worse would be that she didn't appear at all, dear Javis.

What's the issue with a pre-recorded performance?

[Jessyka]

Worse would be that she didn't appear at all, dear Javis.

 

True.

[Javito]

Worse would be that she didn't appear at all, dear Javis.

 

If she didn't appear at all, we would never know because it wouldn't have been announced Luis

 

What's the issue with a pre-recorded performance?

 

Nothing. But in the Whitney Houston Grammy Tribute it was disappointing that she was one of the few singers who wasn't there in person, so she had to send a prerecorded performance. Same as with the "Live 8" event in 2005, she did a prerecorded video and speech, and the audience responded with a massive "booo" because this event is precisely called "LIVE 8", to gather singers in the same stage to do live performances Nothing happens, but its disappointing.

[brujocrow]

So you can turn off George, right?

[davidjag79]

If she doesn't perform I hope at least they plug LMBTL being that this special airs twice. If not there is always the CBS special she is hosting and performing on the 18th of December. I just hope we get an official video within the month... dying in anticipation over here need resuscitation quit possibly to you know be loved back to life... hint hint SOny

[Xpresso]

So she will promote her Xmas album instead of LMTL? How about singing Incredible? It's kinda Xmasy...

[chocolatechip15]

I hope at least that they'll have a commercial for the album during this special!

[Celine Fan 77]

Guys keep in mind that Celine and the other guests will be sharing 'Holiday messages', it says nothing about live performances...

[Ronny83]

She already did this in 2007 (http://www.celinedionforum.com/topic/29385-celine-on-the-eyes-of-christmas/) and 2009 (http://www.celinedionforum.com/topic/43752-eyes-of-christmas/).

[dj_a_rock]

I hope she'll perform. If she wont then it is useless for the new album.

[Jessyka]

Even though I'm hoping for a performance, I guess it'll be just a pre recorded holiday message.

I'm not complaining though, it's better than nothing.

[marc-02]

Its prolly just a message and not a performance...

[Jessyka]

Its prolly just a message and not a performance...

 

Yes.

I'll still be happy just to see her face.

[Prima_Donna1]

I smell velveeta.

 

 

 

 

 

Good for her.

[zuv]

She might not perform and just give a message...

 

That would be stupid. Inviting Celine to a Christmas TV Special, but not make her sing is like throwing candy at kids but threathing to punch them in the face if they eat it.

[anewdayhascome]

what for?
