"Celine" The Revamped Show

January 18, 2016 at 07:24 PM

Am I the only one that thinks she is going to take a break? I understand that I could be wrong and I'll be the first one to eat my words but I just don't see her returning as quick as everyone thinks.

she has her childs to think about also, i would be surprised to see her in February. But she will decide what is best.

January 18, 2016 at 07:50 PM

On one hand I think she should take a break until the French tour starts. But on the other hand, I think it might be good for her to have her first return in Vegas, because it is her second home in the end... she's used to the venue and knows all the ins and outs, so she'll feel safe there.

But of course I think February 23rd is quite soon.

And something makes me think she'll take a long time off in 2017.

Ive got that feeling as well, if anything I think maybe something like end of Sept, which would give her 9 months to grieve, and to take the kids on a break

January 18, 2016 at 09:15 PM

Idk....I'm undecided. I understand if she does take a longer time off. But she also may welcome it. It's not like she's there every single night. While I realize this is Celine and she is different from us common-folk...lol...most working ppl don't get to take off months and months for bereavement. We all have to go back at some point. Only time will tell.

January 18, 2016 at 09:28 PM

I also think that there will be NO major changes in the setlist. However...

I agree, these songs just wouldn't work as a tribute to René.

Personally, I would like to see 'Ce n'était qu'un rêve' performed in Vegas. It represents where it all started and how both Celine & René achieved it all together over the last 35 years. Also, it's not a sad or depressing song.

Other possible additions I would like to see are:

- Live For The One I Love
- The Colour of My Love
- I Know What Love Is
- Let's Talk About Love
- In Some Small Way

I really like your ideas. I also think they should bring back CNQR, especially for the French tour. I want to have it in full. It'd be pure magic.

As for the show I have 5 (!) ideas which are reasonable and quite possible:

- PQTME

- SSDA

- new French single (Encore un soir?)

- ATW

- TCOML

I think that any other song doesn't stand a chance. There are many songs that would fit and which we would see her performing but seriously they will not bring such random and rare songs like IKWLI (however, it'd be beautiful :wub: ) and I really think that I'm right with those 5 songs mentioned above.

Yep. I lost my dad and had 2 weeks off. His funeral was on my day off from work. Friend of mine lost her mum a few weeks after I lost dad. She had 3 months off.

I lost mum and had 3 weeks off.

Everyone is different with how they deal with it etc. And I know it's a bit different, your parents and your husband, but as I'm single, my parents were the main features of my life.

As long as any decision is Celine's, and she doesn't get pressured in any way, I'm positive she'll do what is right for her and the kids. She always has!

January 18, 2016 at 10:22 PM

Some people say what Celine should or shouldn't do... Let her do whatever she wants... Everyone is different and grieving process is very individual. Most people don't have the luxury to go back to work after 5 week break. They're back following Monday. Some people want to work right away. It helps. I'm one of them...

Exactly. Most of us don't have a choice.

Agreed. She will do what she wants to do. We shouldn't speculate... We are not her. When my mother recently passed away I only took one day off. I could have taken more but work was a distraction for me.

Is it true Celine had a concert the night before Rene died?

. Yes

January 19, 2016 at 12:19 AM

. Yes

Gosh she is so strong , thats so sad She musy have known he was very bad .it must have been really hard for her

January 19, 2016 at 01:10 AM

yes she had a show on jan 6 wed night, just go back to page 156, there video's there

January 19, 2016 at 03:01 PM

She could performe vole

January 19, 2016 at 10:51 PM

The problem with the current show is that there's still too much random covers (they could replace Kiss and Purple Rain by Declaration Of Love and Somebody Loves Somebody and Mr Paganini and Quand Ca Blance could be replaced by At Last and Terre or S'il Suffisait d'aimer).

I cannot agree at this point. I love the prince covers, they are just perfect for the show and I would nevever replace Them with one of her over 20 year old Songs that I don't really like anyway

The songs I listed in my previous post were just exemples. Even ''Unison'' would be so much more enjoyable than that medley.

January 20, 2016 at 06:09 AM

It's hard to predict now when Celine may return and how much time she will spend on her career. She may return as scheduled and be as busy as in the past, as i guess that is what Rene wanted, and she may do it for him. However, looking at past imterviews, it was always Rene who always motivate and encourage Celine to get back to work, and do this and that. When Rene is no longer there, not sure if Celine will continue to have as many commitments. I can't imagine Aldo has the same network and relationship with all those business people around the world as Rene. sigh.... Edited January 20, 2016 at 06:10 AM by rhapsodion

Well apparently it happened really suddenly, neither Celine or Rene might have seen this coming. It seems from reports from her family that he was doing good and then suddenly, just like that he wasn't. Celine might not even of had a clue that night before, when giving her Vegas concert that anything serious was about to happen to Rene.

Some people on this forum in the medical field think that Rene might have possibly passed from a heart attack and though I do not like to speculate on this matter, I would have to agree that it was probably a heart attack that took him. Given the fact that the entire family didn't see this coming and they said he wasn't at deaths door and was getting better.

Also, the TMZ reports that Rene had meetings scheduled on the day of his death that he was planning on attending leads me to believe that he was feeling better and not thinking he was going anywhere anytime soon.

It makes total sense to me that he might have passed from a heart attack because of his past heart issues. Him having a heart attack in 1992 and also, he had an operation around 2011 for a blockage near his heart. I believe it was a blockage near his heart?

I think he was doing better and on the path of healing, but I think that his heart had just been through to much trauma and stress and it just gave out. It's so sad. I prayed that he would live into his 90's and that Celine would at least be in her mid to late 60's when she lost him. It's just so sad that she lost her love already at only 47 years of age. :down:

The hardest part for her will be coming back to the stage on Feb 23rd. Knowing that Rene has passed and she has to sing all those love songs that are going to remind her of Rene. I don't know how she is going to get through.

Celine recently said in her press conference, before starting up the show that she views her songs in a whole new way now. That view is going to change once again now that Rene is gone. It is going to be so incredibly hard for her to perform now. I know Celine will get through it somehow. How I don't know, but I know she will find a way to pull through and keep going for Rene, herself and her fans.

Let's not speculate here.

René had cancer for the last 2 years! People with cancer have good days and bad days. In fact, many people have a good run and feel better for a period right before they die, meaning they go downhill very rapidly. It's possible that René experienced the same thing. René was terminally ill, his death was expected regardless of how he was doing over the last few weeks.

Also, while it was claimed he had meetings scheduled, we must all remember that René could not speak and could not hear very well. I highly doubt these were high-profile business talks, more likely friends/colleagues coming to see him.

Exactly. When you suffer with serious conditions like cancer, your condition can change in a very short amount of time. It's not always gradual etc. With my mum it was a matter of hours. Collapsed lung and pneumonia, so your breathing can change and deteriorate quickly. If Celine or René had known what was going to happen there's no way she would have performed that night. But like I said things can change quickly so I'm just glad she was home when it happened. Because it really could have happened at any time. Let's hope René went quietly, peacefully and with celine by his side.

January 20, 2016 at 12:50 PM

It makes it worse to think it was sudden

i hope he died in her arms, im sure he did

January 20, 2016 at 03:59 PM

I'm thankful for our members in the medical field, they are so helpful.

I love all the songs that were mentioned a few posts ago, the problem is, it will be so hard to get through. Vole is almost out of the question, it's a double wammy as I am sure it still carries sad memories of Karine though it has been a while. I'd love to see I Know What Love Is, simply because she has never done it so there's not, let's call it history, with that song. She could interpret it brand new as it's never been done before. TCOML, love it, but again, no way. The set list will probably not change, but, if it should magically do so, I say add new songs that have never been done before, or not in a while, that will mean something but maybe? not be quite as charged for her. Also, her songs and their meangings haven't just changed for her, again, but for us as well. I talked about this in the other thread and so will only quickly do so here so as not to get off topic, but I hear her songs so differently now and some are hard to hear, others I cannot hear at all. Anyway, back to the show...I'd personally vote for her canceling everything up until the tour. Focus on the album. LV can wait!

I know. I wrote in my post that I didn't like to speculate about this matter and I guess I should have left it at that.

It's just hard when you want to know why something tragic happens. Of course I knew that he was suffering for a long time, so this was expected, but I still wasn't expecting it at the same time. I'm just glad Rene is at least at piece now and he doesn't have to suffer through this horrible disease anymore.

January 20, 2016 at 06:37 PM

Like they said, and has been said in past reports.

Some days he walked around the house and played with the kids, and some days he stayed in bed all day.

'Doing well' doesnt mean he will life for the next 10 years.

It only was a matter of time.

And somehow that it came so suddenly is maybe even better for rene.

It is still hard for the family, but they had been living towards this moment.

January 20, 2016 at 07:09 PM

So, a thought just occurred to me. It's a bit outside-the-box, but here it goes. I wonder what the chances are that a different show/different segments were already rehearsed and and put into place for when Rene died. Somewhat similar to when something goes wrong with an effect or scene during a Broadway show or concert, but on a much grander scale. I wonder if it's possible certain "song swaps" were already set in place to be debuted for when the day came to make it easier on Celine and the show's crew so things wouldn't have to be changed last minute.

January 20, 2016 at 07:36 PM

Doubt celine is even thinking about the show right now. Aldo, maybe.

After the tribute show Feb 3rd we shall see.

I highly doubt they were thinking like that. Of course they knew that this new show starting in August would see René out, but to take the time to rehearse an 'alternate show' seems highly unlikely. If they weren't sure about something during rehearsals in August, they wouldn't have included it at all, rather than keeping it and having a backup plan.

That's not to say that the show won't change, but in my opinion it's impossible to know or predict which songs are going to affect Celine until she starts singing again. I think they will wait and see and make any adjustments as and when required.

January 20, 2016 at 08:55 PM

I think it would be nice for her to go back. It will keep her mind occupied. All I can say is thank god she was able to have kids. She at least has someone to lean on.....

January 20, 2016 at 09:43 PM

I'd be very surprised if the show will go on with no changes after this big event in her career and life!

There will surely be a tribute to Rene!

One thing I worry about is that nearly every Celine song will remind her of Rene!

Some fans talk about that she will change songs..... What songs? All her songs are about love!
