I agree her voice sounds amazing! Some people said she sounded pitchy or whatever, but anyone would sound like this if they were holding back tears trying not to burst out crying the whole time.

 

If Celine was not dealing with Rene and his health issues this would be perfection. In my opinion though it is already perfection in my mind. I don't know who couldn't have been move by Celine's emotion, power and courage that it took for her to perform that night. True class act!

You need to take a deep breath and perhaps learn how to be constructive. This is a forum. Not a church. I said nothing barbaric and quite frankly your post is childish. She's a singer...singers get reviewed. Nobody was scathing. Just because someones doesn't like your precious singer's performance doesn't mean they want her executed.

 

Second of all, did I even mention her rehearsing? No. It's "The Prayer", not the long version of "It's All Coming Back to me Now." Your point isn't even valid because she did rehearse.

 

I've been a fan for 20 years. I don't need newbie fans who have nothing else in their lives to beat me with a club just because I didn't like one of her performances.

 

And finally, yes, we're all thrilled ahe performed. She's a performer. Not a God nor a demi-God. But every time you take the stage there will people that DISCUSS the positives and negatives.

 

I agree. Of course it is couregeous and fantastic that she still was there and flying over for this occasion. But you do not have to be an expert to hear this was not her best rendition of this song. It is not that i critizize her. It is just plain observation and it is perfectly understandable that she sang it this way. And i applaud her that she did sing the song gIven the circumstances rene and celine currently have to deal with. I can only say one word- respect!

I may be in the minority with this one, but I think Celines voice now, even from 2001 on sounds even better live than before then. She has ALWAYS had the most gorgeous and fantastic voice so I am not saying it was not spectacular..just so much more "colorful" now. It is hard to put into words. Trust me back in 1995 I thought her voice was outstanding and one of the best I have ever heard and that it could not get better than that, but over the years it absolutely has. All By Mysel, Its All Coming Back To Me Now, River Deep Mountain High, Beauty and the Beast...pretty much everything has more emotion, color, texture than ever before. She sings with more runs and riffs and emotion now. Well she always had great emotion, but in my opinion currently her voice is much stronger live than before. I look forward to seeing what she does with her songs on August 27th and so on. Hopefully there will be some new versions and maybe even new vocal arrangements on a few songs or parts. Cant wait to see her soon!

I agree that it's really great. But I think her voice is really the same, Just annunciation is alot different.

 

I think back then she tried singer deeper like her normal voice is now. For example her renditions of Seduces me and Fly/Vole. And now, she reverts back to that softer tone at times, like in At Seventeen, BATB, And Incredible. I love it. She has two voices if that makes since. Her 90s voice and her now voice.

I think Thank You/Thankful are also examples of her 90's voice, kinda soft!

I didn't know love until they loved me back to life because somebody loves somebody!

I agree. Also her Live performances of Because you loved me are very similar to the past ones. And Lullaby, I love her voice in it.

Lol. I am too, I want every cover to go from the setlist actually. I absolutely hate the fact that she chooses all these covers. Besides the ones that are hits and remotely hers, I wish she'd just STOP!

..."Lullaby" is actually one of Billy Joel's most celebrated songs.

I'm aware, but Celine needs to sing Her lullabies. She made a whole album of them, and decided to choose someone else's. But she's sang Billy Joel's lullaby long enough, I say.

As far as picking covers is concerned, she should never again choose a French cover over one of her French originals & never pick a random lullaby over hers.

 

Recording in French and singing songs abound motherhood are HER thing. It is what put her apart from the average American recording female artist.

You are absolutely right.

 

I would love to see a 'Miracle Medley' as part of the show, featuring photos from the Miracle photoshoot and then photos and videos of Celine's own children.

 

A medley with Miracle, My Precious One, Come To Me & In Some Small Way would be lovely.

I don't mind covers as long as they bring out something different in Celine we don't usually see. For instance Mr Paganini. Very rare she does jazz,and the more used to the song she got,the more she had fun with it and got more jazzy. I'm fine with covers like that. But to do a cover when she has songs in her own back catalogue that would fit just as well, I don't understand it.

Great idea. These are my favorite songs from the album, If I Could is also a highlight but it had its moment in the previous show. In Some Small Way is the most meaningful English song she recorded during the 00s in my opinion, I absolutely love it..! Edited by LukeD

That's what I say! Mr. Paganini I just LOVED! I wouldn't die if she kept it. :P

Too bad she's got a Caesars Palace show that night (May 21), would be great to see Celine back at this fundraiser.

 

This year they're celebrating Tony Bennett in honour of his 90th birthday.

 

And I'd love to see Celine there and hanging out with the other peeps who are slated to perform that night - http://www.prnewswir...-300242223.html

I was hoping she'd make it to the gala last year to honour Tony, but alas, it wasn't to be.

 

But this year she's got no show that night (April 27), so perhaps there's a chance?

The honoree is Andre Agassi, so I wouldn't be surprised if Celine made an effort to be there. After all, wasn't it Andre who first played Celine for Babs?

 

So far Gwen Stefani and Jon Bon Jovi are set to perform -

Here's hoping it happens.

(Also, I want a picture of Celine with Steffi! Can you imagine the LEGS?! :giggle: )

Céline has been at Andre Agassi events before, I'm sure in the heydays? I'm sure there are pics of them.

There are. She did at least one of his fundraisers in the past.

Plus weren't they partners in that Pure Nightclub thing?

I don't think I've ever seen Celine with Steffi though.
