Céline on Super Bowl Halftime Show?

[jpatdeleon09]

Madonna and Céline.. I remember there was a rumour before back in 2012 that Céline and Madonna will do a Superbowl show together. I'm curious how it will end up mixing their songs together... Of course there will be remix songs of Céline

[scielle]

Well, they are supposedly related, so there's that.

[Squall]

I really don't know why any artist would want to do a halftime show. Maroon 5 was crucified. An artist has to be at their absolute peak of their game, or reach legendary status so high that they are beyond criticism.

 

Celine has turned herself into an artist for middle aged to old women. She's largely seen as a joke with how she dresses and acts in public. If she did the super bowl she would be ripped to shreds.

It's very clear from her concert attendance and the glowing press in the last 2-3 years - written largely by millennials - that this is absolutely no longer the case. May have been in the 90s, but certainly not now.

Quite the opposite, in fact. She's never been more revered.

 

That being said, I wouldn't particularly care to see her do Super Bowl.

it is a shame that you don't post more often.

Umm...Maroon 5 was not crucified based on the status of their career. They were first critcized for even accepting the gig, based on the racism issues surrounding the NFL. Then they gave a terrible show. It truly has nothing to do with whether or not an artist is at their peak.

You still live in the '00s.

 

Yes, very rarely a news outlet makes jokes about an outfit she wears, BUT it's more an exception. She's been SLAYING every since 2016.

CÉLINUNUNU created some controversy, and also her "skinny" look lately, but that's really nothing compared to all the negative stuff she got years ago.

[CelineDionFreak]

I think the Super Bowl isn’t the best place for Celine. She could do God Bless America at the beginning but I think the halftime show isn’t her best gig. It’s a very quick thing, and she’d have to keep changing her tune and the way the media roasts these performances, I’d rather not see her do this.

[smw]

Even though she's widely accepted as a Legend / Icon these days, I think there'd be a lot of backlash if Celine was announced as the headliner for the Superbowl. The only way I can imagine this happening is if she ends up having a big hit single again or something like that (which is totally possible, especially if it's a duet with a "current" artist). The halftime shows these days are usually for more current artists. Who knows! The younger generation is way more open minded and accepting of Celine. It's some older folks who would worry me.

 

Although, Madonna did do one not too long ago! But she is much more suited for a BIG SHOW whereas Celine is all about the vocals. Just like Whitney Houston would not have been the best choice even back in her prime.

 

I think it would be totally feasible if Celine was a surprise guest at a halftime show. If she could come out looking fabulous -- showing off those legs -- and got to do some of those epic PURPLE RAIN vocals, that would be phenomenal. It'd be amazing if Drake, for instance, was announced as the Halftime performer and then he brings out CELINE DION as his surprise guest. That would be genius for all kinds of reasons.

 

With all of that said --- Celine could absolutely put on a STELLAR halftime performance. She feeds off of energy and she has plenty of upbeat songs and could do some unexpected covers. She is also no stranger to SPECTACLE. So many of her shows have had some amazing visuals.

That's why I think it will never happen.

 

Céline's just not a "Superbowl Halftime" artist.

 

Unless she's really HOT again and has released a few new good uptempo songs. Then maybe.

[Javito]

I can only see her giving another unbearable performance of LCMM while jabbering part of the original lyrics mixed with some more unintelligible screams, and it will end up being an embarrassing performance to mock about. So that's a NONONO.

That's not strictly true. McCartney has done it, Tom Petty, The Who...lots of "legacy" artists.

But I agree that Celine is not at all a fit here, unless a guest with another artist.

[celinesounds]

Gloria Estefan did it why not Celine

 

[isurrender]

Céline is a great performer and actually the only one to be able to "hold" an audience without any big show.

 

However that's not the policy of the superbowl and her repertoire doesn't fit.

 

However she can do it and still pay a tribute to her discography with a show full of big uptempos covers 😁

Gloria Estefan the queen of Latin uptempo pop? Of course she can do it, I love Celine and would love to see her at the Super Bowl but it just isn’t her crowd and honestly I don’t think it would work. As an artist you have to weigh the cons and pros and it just seems like it would be a good overall idea.

[anewdionhascome]

Y'know, Céline was at her peak in terms of stage presence, energy and productions around 2003-2009 when she was doing her first vegas residency and the TCWT, that wouldve been the perfect time for Céline to headline the superbowl,maybe 2010-11 wouldve been perfect.

Taking Chances would have been a great album to promote on Super Bowl. Songs like Eyes on Me, Taking Chances, Fade Away ask for a big show and a rockish sound

[Davar]

As much as I would love this…her repertoire doesn’t suit the half-time show.

Céline is an entertainer. One can argue her biggest hits aren't Katy Perry or Rihanna type of hits songs but Céline isn't stranger to big productions which the Superbowl requires. She has the repertoire full of global mega hits to headline the event. I don't think she'll ever do superbowl at this point but one can only dream, that would've elevate her career as a living legend to new heights.

[ryba]

With the right arrangements and appropriate mixing she could kill it at the halftime show. If she came with those orchestra arrangements of course people wouldn’t like it Edited February 13, 2024 at 04:38 PM by ryba

[mirage]

Funny I thought about it after watching a few of those shows.

 

I think back in the day it wouldn't have worked.

 

But now, 13 minutes of her biggest hits I think it will.

With the right arrangement, the right show, and the best parts of those songs I think it could work.

Throw in some of her uptempo work.

 

But they need to reworked big time, and use backing tracks. But I think even with a major orchestra she will blow everyone away.

As a huge NFL football fan, and As you know a huge Celine fan… it wouldn’t work.

 

Celine is from a different stature of entertainment. Yes she’s a HELL of an entertainer but the demographic isn’t her demographic by large. As an overwhelming example… I doubt 25-55 year old male football demographic wants to hear BYLM or BATB. It’s the sad truth but we can’t ignore that fact. Now Celine as a coheadliner could work. For example: if Ne-yo ever got offered the halftime show, he could definitely bring Celine out to do “Incredible”.

Well she wouldnt sing those two songs you mentioned...

 

She would sing RDMH, IACBTMN, Im Alive, TTWII, MHWGO and a cover like the Show Must Go On or something. And yes she could have guests on stage like Elton playing the piano or just about anyone sing something with her.

 

Celine could easily have done a Superbowl 15 years ago but now her voice would probably have to be prerecorded for everything. I think that would be the biggest hurdle.

[rfkavanagh]

The only time I could even remotely have seen Céline doing the halftime show was maybe around 1996. Her profile was huge, she had some upbeat songs, and she hadn't been completely relegated to "adult contemporary ballad singer" the way MHWGO and LTAL did. But even then, she wasn't exactly right for the sports demo.

[celinesounds]

She could sing LCMM 😛

 

Seriously

 

Best choices

Power of love

River deep mountain high

Misled

I’m alive

I drove all night

Ashes/ MHWGO

Because you loved me

True on those songs.

But I guess if she uses the best known parts of IACBTMN, TPOL, MHWGO, IS, TLYM, RDMH, ABM.

The parts where all the drama comes together, where she can hit her chest and do all the dramatic gestures.

With a freaking huge orchestra, JLo hair, beyonce hairblowers, smashing gowns, fireworks, elevators.

I think she can pull it off. Especially now, with all those moderate singers.

Just because it's frigging Céline Dion.

 

And if we need a coheadliner, it needs to be Adele. But I rather see Celine by herself

If the Super Bowl leaned into a a big DIVA halftime show… with like 4 headliners it could work. But they won’t.

 

Something like Celine, Adele, Cher and Mariah…

Yes I do agree with you, the Super Bowl would really NOT WORK for Celine e nowadays. Now maybe back in the mid to late 90s during her peak, or maybe in the early 2000s during the releases of either the "A New Day Has Come" album or the "One Heart" albums (as those 2 albums were not only during her big comeback after her first hiatus, but also both albums DID HAVE their fair share of RADIO FRIENDLY & UPBEAT/DANCEABLE SONGS that would have possibly fit into a Super Bowl halftime show, as those type of shows prefer upbeat/danceable & radio friendly type of music.)

 

But as we are 20+ to 30 years TOO LATE FOR THAT, especially considering Celines current situation with her health (as right now we don't even know if she can actually handle doing a full length concert these days, not to mention a major Super Bowl halftime show, especially as a Headliner,) it is all just a long ago PIPE DREAM from us fans, & accept that the "Celine-Super-Bowl-Headliner-possibility-idea-ship has sailed, has sank, & now lives at the bottom of the ocean with the Titanic" lol, (no pun intended, if you know what I mean lol!) 😉😄
