Céline Dion: Summer Tour 2016 - Official Topic

[amerikevin]

I hope we'll have the same setlist this weekend in Paris !!!!!

[I Drove All Night!]

Tous les blues is even more bluesy and beautiful tonight..........

 

Also.. I love the visuals for this one. The big screens behind her keep showing a close-up of her big, brown eyes

 

Seems like she kind of lost her place towards the end there....

THANK YOU! <3

 

Very interesting information. It now makes sense why all the songs seem so relevant with what is going on with Celine in the last several months. SHE picked the songs! WOW! Can't really complaint can I/we? Now we know she is taking control of her career! Exciting!!!

 

Wonder is the covers in English because she feels insecure about herself and/or her material?

 

Now I have to find and dust off my cheat-cheat, so I can get into the official forum to make suggestions and reviews and make more friends. Thank you!

 

I think she connects more with the French stuff, I remember she once said that, while she usually listens to her French albums, she doesn't pay that much attention to her English material...

Does it really matter what she wears at least she is doing the tour which see could have cancelled I think sometimes it doesn't matter what she does quite a few so called fans moan she's changed the setlist like most wanted and still moan at that cause she sings the songs you don't like just enjoy the show because there will.be a time where she won't do it anymore

[I Drove All Night!]

LOVE the Law & Order Theme into Naziland

[ryba]

please excuse my stupid question, but what is the song about? Why does she want to dance in the Naziland?

[I Drove All Night!]

Got some good hip thrusts in Naziland!

Here's the brief plot summary for the Starmania musical:

 

Brief plot outline[edit]

In the near future, Monopolis, the capital of the recently united Occident, is terrorized by the Black Stars, a gang headed by Johnny Rockfort, who dances to the tune of Sadia, a student-agitator, originally from the upper crust, who cross-dresses at night and descends into the underground to hand out orders. They meet at the Underground Café, under the amused gaze of Marie-Jeanne, the robotic waitress.

Above this underground café stands the Golden Tower, a 121-floor building, the top of which is the office of Zéro Janvier, a billionaire getting into politics by running for the presidency of the Occident. He bases his electoral campaign on a return to order and on the construction of the new atomic world. Zéro Janvier thus becomes the sworn enemy of Johnny Rockfort and the Black Stars. It is in this framework that three parallel love affairs take shape and come undone: the impossible love of Marie-Jeanne for Ziggy, a young androgynous and mythomaniac record dealer; the sensational romance of Zéro Janvier and Stella Spotlight, a sex symbol who has just said farewell to the silver screen; and the passion of Johnny Rockfort and Cristal, a true nexus of the plot.

Cristal, the host and star of a TV show called “Starmania,” gets a call from Sadia offering her a clandestine interview with Johnny Rockfort, whose face no one knows. The get-together takes place at the Underground Café. For Cristal and Johnny, it is love at first sight. They go off together; therefore, Sadia has lost her hold over Johnny. Cristal decides to become the spokeswoman for the Black Stars, transmitting pirate messages by means of a neutron camera that lets her take over television frequencies.

Sadia, furious with jealousy, denounces Johnny and Cristal to Zéro Janvier on the evening that he is celebrating his engagement with Stella Spotlight at Naziland, a gigantic revolving discothèque above Monopolis. The Black Stars have chosen this very evening to set off a bomb in the Golden Tower.

Zéro Janvier’s men hunt the Black Stars. Cristal is hit and dies in Johnny’s arms. The shadow of Johnny Rockfort will darken the victory of Zéro Janvier, elected president of the Occident. Terrorism against totalitarianism, two living forces in opposition, two dangers that threaten the world.

Stella Spotlight, revolted by power, returns to her dream of immortality; Marie-Jeanne, having had enough of the underground world, heads off in search of sunlight.

Naziland was a "gigantic revolving discothèque above Monopolis" on the musical

So you are not a fan if you have a different opinion? Come on! I love Celine and i respect the whole show being dedicated to Rene. And it was beautiful to hear everything with a live orchestra but i felt like why not saying some words to her English speaking audience?

Is that so much to ask?

Feed is down again. Wish it/my internet connection could stay consistent. However, that said, I am soooooooooooo greatful they streamed it in the first place!!!

[Kyle_Jared]

I Love Purple Rain in the show; saw it in Vegas and loved it there so don't mind that cover.

 

I wish to God she'd replace Love Can Move Mountains with I'm Alive and ditch the IACBTMN/POL for something like a A New Day Has Come/ or even just a new version of the damn song

[ryba]

I hope the feed works when they play TSMGO

[Bralo20]

20 miles from my doorstep and not being able to be there... It sucks... Unfortunately due my hyperacusis & tinnitus concerts have become unbearable for me :-(

Guess I need to hope for a Blu Ray release in the (far?) future.

[Shamrock_1982]

I love trois... And I agree l' Brandon would be great straight after it!!!

[ryba]

the feed is always down during the good songs... I tell you, when she sings LCMM the feed becomes available again..

Her outfit is actually growing on me.

Still think this outfit is only for Belgium. I could be wrong though 😂

Sorry that was bloody predictive text!!!

Hey guys! I just came back from Antwerp and had the privilege of staying at the same hotel as Celine's entire crew (musicians, technicians and Véronique) and had the chance of meeting most of them in person.

 

These are the SURPRISING things that Scott Price (musical director) told me when I approached him to say congratulations for such an amazing concert:

 

 

· All the songs from the Summer tour were picked by Céline herself.

 

· The orchestra has been rehearsing the song 'Breakaway' for the Vegas show. (He didn't tell me exactly when and if it's actually gonna make it to the show).

 

· Most of the musicians would love to play 'Didn't Know Love' at the show.

 

· When I asked him about why Celine keeps singing mostly covers in English, he told me it's her own decision. They keep insisting her to add some of her more obscure English material to the shows, but she doesn't seem to be very interested on doing that at the moment.

 

· And here comes the big thing: If you have any suggestions (songs you'd love Celine to sing live for example), PLEASE post your requests on Celine's official forum. They read it and love to get feedback from the fans.

 

 

 

PD: I wasn't sure of where to post this, so mods, if you feel like this post is wrong here, please move it to a better thread.

Can you write things on her site anymore? It's been so long since I've been there. Last time I was there their forum didn't work.

[sfbaysinger]

Wait, she chose all the songs, where was that posted and I missed it? It's probably over now, so sad I missed the ending but as I said, I am soooooooo greatful they live streamed what they could!

AWESOME, Finally some good questions/answers when close to those people!

 

It's sad that she wants to continue singing English covers, weird, especially if she did pick so many rare French songs of her own?!

 

This official forum, you mean Team Celine? but where exactly request a particular song? We should bombard them with ORIGINAL songs we all want to hear
