"Celine" The Revamped Show

Yeah I don't think so... And I don't think she could throw it together so quickly...

I think she could. Not sure about the orchestra though. Though with a smaller band I think it's doable.

It would be odd if she didn't at least acknowledge it in some way.

November 14, 2015 at 01:18 AM

I doubt that she would address something so political.

This transcends politics. This is about humanity and lives lost.

It would be nice but she won't. Edited November 14, 2015 at 01:19 AM by DionFanAlways

I understand that completely.

Thank you for another Immortality video. :thumbsup2:

Ahhh....this woman makes me in just a minute from :mdr: to :teary: than into :wub: :blush: and here we go back again into :-D :clap:

We are truly lucky as fans as Celine is one of the best if not the best "celebrity" in terms of interaction with fans.

And I'm so proud of that!

Just got home from Vegas so I thought I’d share my experience before I start forgetting details! This might be a tad long but hopefully you won't mind because I always love reading about other peoples' experiences.

I was sad to leave but now that I live in LA, thankfully I’m just a short drive away.

Vegas is lovely this time of year. It’s chilly at night (which I LOVE!). The Bellagio water show was magical, as always. I was able to see some great shows when I was in Vegas for the “Celine” première back in 2011. And, this time, I was able to see MYSTERE and KA in the same night. All the Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen are incredible! I hope to see O one day soon since that’s the show that inspired Celine to work with Franco Dragone.

Since people were claiming that Celine was feeling sick, I was totally prepared for the Tuesday and Wednesday shows to be cancelled. Celine canceling has happened to me before—back in March 2007. So I made a game plan to go see Britney and O if the shows got cancelled!

As we all know, the shows went on and they were FANTASTIC. Tuesday night, I had wonderful seats in the VIP Box of Front Orchestra 4. I purposefully got aisle seats for my partner and myself so that I would be near Celine when she walked by during IMMORTALITY. At first, I got worried because the VIP box is literally boxed in with a gold handrail. Luckily, it didn’t get in our way when Celine walked by—and we were easily able to step over it when the time came! My partner and I were able to get an awesome video with her doing this moment in the show and she was so beautiful and gracious. It was surreal to stand next to her and put my arm around her as she sang. I’ll never forget that moment!! My first actual interaction with Celine Dion. Amazing.

There is so much to love about this new show. The new visuals, overall, are stunning. The gowns all look even better in person than in pictures/videos. The show has a great energy to it. And most importantly, Celine’s tone is in top form!

That’s what got me so excited when I got to see Celine's Vegas premiere back in 2011. Her beautiful tone that, in my opinion, wasn’t as “pretty” during the TCWT and certainly not during A New Day… had returned.

Her voice still sounds rested and powerful.

Celine's attitude and energy were so great for both the Tuesday and Wednesday shows! She seems relaxed and really seems to just live in the moment. I remember when I went to see A NEW DAY… back in 2005 and 2006, she seemed, at times, a bit robotic. But I think not having to perform as frequently as she did back then is helping a lot.

I sometimes find it difficult to remain the moment when I’m at a Celine concert. I feel like I’ve got to record or take pictures or pay extra attention to every little detail or observe other audience members to make sure they’re enjoying it too – so the best moments of the show for me were when the show demanded my attention.

Highlights of the show for me:

I SURRENDER is such a wonderful opener. It's amazing to see audience members in awe of Celine. I love that she opens the show with one of her best power ballads and you can tell that some of the people who were dragged to the show actually got excited! It really feels special to be in the presence of Celine during this moment. It also didn't bother me that the opening video montage was so energetic and then it shifts to such a dramatic song. (For the record: I would love it if, down the road, the video montage is all of Celine again. Though, like I've said before, I think Celine has been drawing strength from her fans lately. So it makes a lot of sense for the fans to be integrated into the show -- not only in the opening video but also during IMMORTALITY.)

The jazz segment of the show is SO stunning. The red curtain, Celine’s sexy dress and movements, and her velvety voice are just the best. It’s a different flavor entirely and reminds people that they are in the presence of an Icon just like Ella or Frank.

The entire IMMORTALITY section is really special. I was worried that it was going to be super awkward with all of us fans jumping up to snap photos with Celine. But Celine makes so many jokes about it that it’s really fun. Both nights, SO many fans bombarded her for pictures. And she was so gracious and really seems to enjoy it! If she didn’t enjoy it, I’m positive something would be done about to stop it. I hope some videos surface of some of the funny comments Celine makes about the crazy obsessed fans (like myself). It’s hilarious and, even if you’re not seated in that section, it seems like the entire audience thinks it’s pretty special that Celine takes the time to snap some photos and engage with her fans. This is one of those moments that really humanizes Celine. And this section of the show is probably quite different each night. So it doesn’t feel rehearsed or routine.

The second night, as a lot of you know, there was a guy with a Celine tattoo on his arm—and Celine loved it! Also, Celine actually gave the microphone to another lovely fan and she got to sing the end of IMMORTALITY for Celine as Celine watched from a seat in the audience! When that moment was done, it took a moment for Celine to get back into the show. It was cute. The fan's name is Maria, and Celine sang a few lines from "Maria" from West Side Story. She told the audience to go buy tickets for Maria's show! It was all very in the moment and refreshing.

INCREDIBLE didn’t bother me like I thought it would. I like the song. I really enjoyed the performances of it back in 2013. But I was not thrilled it was part of the set list. But Celine sounded great on it and it was fine.

The audience was totally mesmerized by ALL BY MYSELF on both nights. It’s almost as thought they've forgotten for a minute that they’re in the presence of an Icon – then smoke fills the stage and she belts those notes and it lifts the entire night.

The whole last section of the show is just divine! It’s like Celine feels free at this point in the night to just have a blast. She seems to really LOVE performing the Prince songs. And she sounds absolutely stellar on PURPLE RAIN. It was mind blowing. There's a phenomenal vibe during this song. Everyone's in the moment.

The long dress for RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH didn’t bother me at all! It’s just so different from what we’re used to seeing – I think the length just caught us off-guard. She was still able to move about the stage and she had a lot fun onstage! We still see those sexy legs when she moves!

I much prefer THE SHOW MUST GO ON now that it’s in the Vegas show as opposed to TCWT. It makes more sense that she would sing this song now. And she sounds incredible. Those belts are insane!!

Throughout the show and at the end, the audience on both nights gave standing ovations (of course) and she sang MY HEART WILL GO ON live both nights. I really tried to let that soak in. I’ve been fortunate to see Celine live several times in my life and I know that this song was pretty much always lipped. But it was so special to hear it live again -- considering James Horner. I love that they pay tribute to him in the show.

OVER THE RAINBOW just blows my mind. This is what I mean when I talk about Celine’s “tone”. She sounds absolutely stunning on this song. The tone is reminiscent to when she sings S’IL SUFFISAIT D’AIMER. It just captivates me and could make me weep. It just reminds me of the young girl who had a big dream and now she’s an Icon. It makes me think of her dream and Rene's dream and all that they've accomplished together. I absolutely adore that it ends the show and I hope the show always ends with a special song such like this one.

I hope the show continues to evolve. It seems like they could easily switch things out as time goes on. I would love to see Celine on more elevated platforms like during MY HEART WILL GO ON. She's a diva, after all!

There’s truly not a dull moment in the show. The acoustic set is lovely -- but I can see how some people wouldn't be as excited by this moment. I love those songs and appreciate the idea of making the show feel more "intimate" but perhaps this section can be spruced up down the road.

The show contains a great mix of songs that offers something to pretty much all audience members. Selfishly, I wish the show were longer and that there were more French songs!

Both nights I was there, the show seemed pretty much (if not entirely) sold out. You can find all sorts of great clips on Instagram!

On Tuesday, I waited outside for Celine’s car to pull out. I waited for HOURS. It was not the best idea. I had no clue it would take so long. From what I can tell, Celine will not be doing anything more than a friendly wave until the weather warms back up. So if it’s worth it to you to wait for a wave, then do it!

The Celine Boutique was fine. There’s a mix of merchandise in there—Rod Stewart, Elton, Mariah, Reba. It was mostly Celine and they had a few decent things. But it wasn’t super impressive. Nor was the program that great. I actually didn't even buy one! There weren't enough new pictures in there for me. Celine's store sure beat Britney’s store though! I walked over to Planet Hollywood to inspect things and it was not what I expected.

It was great to see so many Celine posters throughout Vegas! It’s certainly apparent that the QUEEN is back. Most of the folks who live and work in Vegas seem to really embrace her, however, I did have one taxi cab driver who didn’t speak very nicely about Rene’s gambling and Celine’s legendary status. He claimed all sorts of silly, untrue things about Celine and her career—and, at first, I felt the need to school him but I just let it go when I saw he wouldn’t back down. It just got on my nerves to think that some other fans might believe his false claims. Oh well! He also seemed a bit drunk... So that was lovely.

Lastly—
I got the INCREDIBLE opportunity to meet Celine on Wednesday. An assistant took us down an elevator (beneath the theatre) and then walked us down a long hallway and finally took us to a very nice waiting room with fancy sofas and curtains. They split me/my partner and a few other fans into a groups and explained that Celine would be coming in shortly. They told us we could not ask for autographs or take our own pictures because Celine would be in a hurry. It was very organized and her assistants were very nice. They gave us water bottles and kept asking if we were comfortable.

I was able to talk to one of her assistants briefly. Some men who worked for Gucci were there and they were giving Celine some sort of gift (a sketch of a dress?). I wasn’t really sure. These two guys also had a lengthy conversation with Celine’s assistant about when she worked with Tommy Mottola. Celine's assistant claimed that Celine loved working with Tommy. The two Gucci guys apparently work with Tommy sometimes? It was weird.

I wasn’t able to get much insider information out of the assistants. I tried to ask what song she’d perform for the Sinatra tribute. But the assistant just said that she couldn't remember. She said she just read it on a sheet of paper but had forgotten. I'm sure she was just not wanting to leak the information! And then she went on to explain how much Celine loves Frank Sinatra and admires how he “sings every syllable”. I told her assistant that I wish there were more French songs in the show, and she was receptive to that.

The assistant also said that Celine was doing some interviews earlier that night which was why it was taking a while for Celine to come down.

Another fan mentioned waiting SO LONG for Celine to come out of the garage after the shows at night, and they explained that Celine’s work day begins when she arrives at the Colosseum. So they do some business after the shows. She also said that Celine loves to shop and that they do a lot of shopping after the shows.

At this point, it’s nearing show time. Some security guards come in and inspected us fans a bit. And then, finally, Celine’s entourage comes in.

They tell us that they’ll hold any of our personal belongings when we walk up to meet her. And they remind us that this is going to be fast. I was curious if she would be in her first costume, since it was pretty much 7:30 at this point.

My partner and I are the second group to get to meet Celine. So when she first enters, I just hear her. I of course feel weak in the knees because she’s just behind the curtain.

But then I just allow myself to enjoy the moment. When it’s our turn, it’s incredibly surreal. I walk up to her, and I can hardly comprehend what’s happening! She’s wearing a very pretty dark dress similar to one we’ve seen in other photos. I walk right up to her and introduce myself. It was pretty amazing to hear her say my name!

Then my partner introduces himself. She, of course, is very kind and gracious. I quickly remember how fast this is going to be – and there were so many things I wanted to ask her - so I just immediately say…

“I’m looking forward to the new French album!”
She puts her arm around my partner and me, pauses as we all smile for a few photos, then when the photos are done, she says…
“Well, thank you! But the album's not recorded yet. I’m working on it!” Maybe she meant it’s not completed yet? Who knows.
Then I say…
“I’m also looking forward to the Sinatra tribute that’s coming up soon.”
She jokes and says…
“Wow! You know more about what’s happening in my career than I do! So I’m not going to ask you any questions. I don’t want to know anymore!” It was funny. She was implying she didn’t want to know about all of the things she’s got lined up.

Then it was apparent that it was time for the next group to come in. So I reached my hands out to her, she took them, and I thanked her for everything. She was incredibly kind and warm and she thanked me too. She then took my partner’s hands and thanked him. He told her that we were both looking forward to the show and he said “toi toi toi!”. She said hugged us bye and said “Ciao!”

Michel Dion was there too and he’s actually the one who showed us the way to the hallway that lead us to the elevator that took us back to the lobby. I’m very much looking forward to seeing the photos that were taken!

This has certainly been an eventful week! I captured some great audio and video footage. I hope to share that soon!!

You are soooo lucky, what an amazing experience! Can I ask how you got to meet Celine? Are there tickets that include meet and great? It's on my bucket list to meet Celine, I've been a fan for so many years.

Thank you for sharing your recording of the show !

There must be a problem with the file obviously, running time is 1h42 but there is only 1mn16 really playing.

Well, thank you anyway

November 14, 2015 at 01:22 PM

OMG the shared recording is amazing!!!!!

THANK YOU!

November 14, 2015 at 01:59 PM

wow, bootleg is amazing. Kiss and Purple Rain both sound tremendously better now than at the premiere, especially Purple Rain. WOW! and The Show Must Go On was the best here its been in awhile - I kinda felt that the more recent performances of it (particularly in the second verse) lacked a little umph that she sang it with opening weekend.

I can also really tell some small instrumental changes, even more now than 2 months ago.

November 14, 2015 at 03:38 PM

Yes, she has definitely opened up and loosened up since the opening weekend. I Love this show! :wub:

November 14, 2015 at 05:03 PM

WOW She's great with the fans!

But I do hear pretty hoarse and a bit off during Immortality, I can bet she's feeling sick!

I hope she gets well soon!

November 14, 2015 at 06:53 PM

Yes, she has definitely opened up and loosened up since the opening weekend. I Love this show!

It looks like a brilliant show!! I say again she is so relaxed, she is loving and enjoying her fans. I really hope and pray that this show will be made into a DVD, please they have to, as it is, not more changes. All us international fans, we would like to see it as it is. We are desperate to see it on DVD, as we cannot make it to Vegas. Please Sony, Celine, please.....from what I've seen so far, it's just about the best show, in my opinion..there is so much love there between Celine and the fans, you can see it. Me here in South Africa, sit here choked up with tears, it's almost like I can feel the love there, then on top of it, there is my love for her. Guys, I love her so much, more and more....sorry for carrying on like this, I'm too emotional now, and I promise not to let my feelings out like this again on the forum, it's just terrible knowing that I will never see her again in person. Sorry again...

Sharon

November 14, 2015 at 10:49 PM

WOW She's great with the fans!

But I do hear pretty hoarse and a bit off during Immortality, I can bet she's feeling sick!

I hope she gets well soon!

it was more evident during TFTIESYF if you listen the bootleg, but it was great nonetheless...

November 14, 2015 at 11:21 PM

A few months ago there was the rumor that the show will be recorded for a DVD by the end of this year. Are there any news in this regard?

It would be Kind of cool if she did a special new years Eve show with more Songs for the DVD recording

Sharon...I will never see her either. Yes I did go see her in person but my eyes will never ever see her again so I can understand/relate to your feelings. And I love when you share your love for her, please never stop doing that even if it's just in PM with me, that's the you I have come to know and love because I have very deep and similar feelings to you. <3 I am so moved that she devoted last night's show to the people of Paris...wow. Am going to try to download the MediaFire bootleg, thank you for re-uploading it! I surely do also hope there is a DVD made, love the NYE show idea. I already do think she will do something special for that night.

Thank you for the audio show. I can only imagine how much work it's going to take for you to try and upload the video side of it. I will be waiting with baited breath, for that to be uploaded. Thanks a million for what you have done so far, and what you are still going to do. Appreciate it so much. :flowers:
