MrTim212 Posted February 14, 2016 at 07:02 PM Posted February 14, 2016 at 07:02 PM 9 days... Have any of the band or orchestra members posted anything on Facebook or Twitter about rehearsals? je me changerai en or pour que tu m'aimes encore
Shamrock_1982 Posted February 14, 2016 at 07:05 PM Posted February 14, 2016 at 07:05 PM Not that I'm aware of... Aldo seems to be the type of guy who likes to keep things quiet until the last minute or likes to surprise, like we have seen with a few different things over the last few months. 2

nuts2you Posted February 15, 2016 at 12:57 AM Posted February 15, 2016 at 12:57 AM Do you all think that the press will be there as well, ? Like they did for Opening Night back in Aug 27th show
Nmj Posted February 15, 2016 at 02:25 AM Posted February 15, 2016 at 02:25 AM First, I couldn't agree more with the post above. These endless debates about setlists are inherently silly and tiring and probably have a snowball's chance in hell. Ultimately my hope is that Celine just sticks to what feels right and creatively inspiring to her, and not what some survey or uber-vocal fan asks for. I'd like to think she has enough confidence and self-knowledge to do what's authentic to her. But OK, fine, if we're playing this game, I'm gonna contribute, lest it be said that we all want full versions of [insert hit here] or fewer covers - because I'm certainly on the other side of that spectrum. Full versions of the same old tired stuff she's been singing for decades is a waste of valuable stage time IMHO. I'd have zero interest in seeing a predictable show like that and I think she'd be bored stiff doing it. Yes, there's an unspoken contract that she must sing some of these, but shorter versions mean she gets to check them off while allowing for more variety and more rare tunes (but ones the general public will know). And I had to restrain myself here, because if I had my way the show would be 80% French! (But I still think the Vegas audience can take way more than 1 French song.) Anyway, here's what I think would make an interesting set list considering the mostly Anglophone audience, showing off Celine's considerable stylistic range, and with enough 'known' songs for the casual fan.The Show Must Go OnBYLM / IACBTMN - medley or short version OKFalling Into YouMr. Paganini - ONLY willing to lose this one if it's replaced by another one of these jazz classics: , , , or Caravan (most probably know them as instrumentals, but they're also such awesome songs, would love Celine to do them one day!) But, still think Mr. P is the best vehicle for her fab scat singing.Moulins de mon coeur / Windmills of Your Mind - to appease all those who want to cut Quand ca balance, could replace it with another Eddy Marnay / Michel Legrand tune, and yes, one that Celine has previously recorded and one the general public will know. Or, I guess could also do Autumn Leaves / Feuilles Mortes as another English/ French classic and sing it in both languages.Summertime - because the Jerry Lewis telethon version was just so greatLe Ballet / Tous les blues sont ecrits pour toi - medley or short versions OK but ideally with some improv!Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered or Here, There and Everywhere - ideally both! She does them so beautifully.Habanera (Carmen) - because she's done it so . Yes it's French but the average Joe will know it. Especially begging to be done now that she's got a ! I so want her to dust this off!All by Myself / To Love You More - medley or short versions OKNature Boy or First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - ideally both!Beauty and the Beast / Smile / Cabaret - some kind of movie medley, short versions OK (BATB kinda obligatory, I guess, and you can't argue with THIS!)Calling YouOn ne change pas / En attendant ses pas / Les derniers seront les premiers / Destin / S'il suffisait d'aimer / Elle / L'amour existe encoure / Moi quand je pleure - will take any of these, as much as I'd love all....list getting long! Rotate them.Water and a Flame or Natural WomanRefuse to DanceCall the ManPower of Love or or - because she needs to do some Leonard Cohen one of these days. Fellow Montreal legend. And Hallelujah on Oprah doesn't count, plus that Leonard song is just way overdone.I'll be Seeing You - This is one that I've wanted Celine to sing for a long time. Too painful now, but I think in time she could do it so beautifully, especially since it's really all about celebrating someone you miss. A more swinging version, like , rather than or more melancholy ones. Ne me quitte pas - or maybe Hymne a l'amour, La vie en rose, or Quand on n'a que l'amour in its place, or another Brel or Piaf classic. All these she's done in the past, but NMQP is one I could listen to on repeat all day! MHWGO Somewhere Over the RainbowSee! Only two, what you guys call "random" covers (19 & 20). Everything else she's done before and they're songs the casual fan will know. Fully expecting to be shot down here but not gonna argue it - that's my list and I'm sticking to it!! Disclaimer: Aware some of these are way to difficult for Celine to sing right now. And it's too long - but my thinking is they should really rotate/ swap these songs in and out on a regular basis. Celine & her musicians are certainly capable of it. And it would mean more repeat audiences. And as a side note - no Incredible, I'm Your Angel and LTAL please - I think these are hands down some of the most boring songs Celine has recorded. I think this set list is got to be the most boring thing I've ever seen. It just goes to show how everyone's taste in music is soooo different. 4
LukeD Posted February 15, 2016 at 07:21 AM Posted February 15, 2016 at 07:21 AM Do you all think that the press will be there as well, ? Like they did for Opening Night back in Aug 27th showYes definitely. If every each of us were her manager we would make sure the press would be there to say some nice words about the return and how strong she is.
CelineDionFreak Posted February 15, 2016 at 03:41 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 03:41 PM I was thinking... What if nature boy was the closer now? Sure, it's different. But somehow it's soothing. I didn't know love until they loved me back to life because somebody loves somebody!Le temps qui compte pour Celine est maintenant!

celine4evauk Posted February 15, 2016 at 04:33 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 04:33 PM (edited) Am I the only one who doesn't care for Nature Boy? No matter who is singing it, just don't like it. Was glad when ANDHC replaced it in AND by the time I saw the show 😂 Also, I'd love for Celine to end on her own song for a while - and not MHWGO!

anewdayhascome Posted February 15, 2016 at 04:37 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 04:37 PM (edited) ok, we can agree or disagree on covers and original songs, on the opening or the closing song but they HAVE TO remove Barnev's interludes at some point. This Funk thing is just awful and doesn't fit Celine at all.

Those opening/closing suggestions are what i put on my setlist!!And i'd love BYLM to return in full, like you said, along the lines of the David Foster performance during AND run. Oh Yes!! 1
remykyes Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:04 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:04 PM Id be ok with instrumentals giving the chance for the orchestra or parts of the orchestra (string ensemble a la Celebration of Life) to shine. Like the Jazz interlude before Paganini gave the brass section time in the spotlight, the MJ medley in the first version of the show gave some strings time. I'd like to see more of this. Scotts proven he can do it. 3 New Signature Coming Soon!
Nmj Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:04 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:04 PM Looks like most of us would love to see TSMGO as a opener, I just hope iIF they do that they don't do it at the expense of removing IS I just think IS and TSMGO would flip flop spots in the show amazingly.! 1

How about at the beginning of the show, instead of the IDAN video, they show a video montage of Céline through the years and do an overture of her songs. It would be very Barbra Streisand of her, and we know how much Céline loves Babs... This is also the only way that I could see "Trois heures vignt" in the show... as an interlude maybe before "Immortality"? 1 je me changerai en or pour que tu m'aimes encore

Shamrock_1982 Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:54 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:54 PM Imagine they streamed the hour leading up to the first show with camera's showing fans ( all from a distance ) at the Celine store, arriving at the entrance, at the bar area and maybe a few fan interviews showing support and then inside for half an hour leading up to the opening song and maybe Celine may say a few words after it and then cut the feed?!? I'd be happy with that I bet leach will be there reporting and may have some videos of the night also! 1
scielle Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:59 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 05:59 PM I agree, it's such a boring song lmao Haha, in my books Nature Boy is just about the best English song Celine has ever recorded...So yeah, I think it would make a beautiful closer, though not necessarily at the expense of Somewhere Over the Rainbow because her current rendition of that one is pretty magical, too. 1
scielle Posted February 15, 2016 at 06:03 PM Posted February 15, 2016 at 06:03 PM I bet leach will be there reporting and may have some videos of the night also! Yeah.And I'd be surprised if some of the Quebec press didn't show. She's the #1 contributor to circulation for a lot of them. I don't think some of these publications would exist if it weren't for Celine!
