Céline's Return to Colosseum Live Stream - February 23, 2016

[jpatdeleon09]

So it's not true. Case closed! Haha

[CelinesDIVO5]

 

I can't help but agree here with Tim. People have gotten the chance to talk with Celine herself, Aldo, Rene (in the past), Scott, Mego, etc., yet they just talk about how excited they are for things, how amazing those people are, etc. Then, they come onto an UNofficial Celine Dion message board and talk about how much they wish more original material was incorporated into the shows. They talk about how much they CRAVE "Then You Look At Me," "Cherche encore," "A cause" and "I Know What Love Is" to the people who matter the least in regards to these matters. I will never understand it.

Well I guess next trip I'll keep my memories to myself. Can't please everyone.....

 

Slipping in a quick comment like, "I'm really hoping 'Cherche encore' is part of the upcoming tour," is not bombarding him with requests. It's simply stating a hope for the tour and leaving the rest up to the team. It puts the thought into their heads. It could possibly inspire Scott to fiddle around with the song, present it to Celine during rehearsals, and then see what she thinks. If more people do things like this, the more they are likely to understand we don't only want the biggies, and they'd quite possibly be more willing to try new numbers.

No it's okay! I liked it! It was a fun encounter, and besides, they'd think we're a little nuts if we tried to plan our her whole tour if we asked them for everything... So I loved your story

Haters gonna hate lol. When I met Céline we talked about pasta and sauces and that was it. Like of all things I could've asked and said we talked about food lol. I appreciated the story!

When I met Celine I cried in her face and told her that she was the best singer in the world and that I loved her 378 times and cried in her face some more. I don't think we can criticise someone for not distributing our lists of demands during an elevator trip.

 

As for the rumours about that delicious guitarist, Girl got taste! Jokes. I know. She's in mourning

 

Personally, the last thing I'd want to talk about with Celine or her band members would be business tips. I'd want to honestly thank them for what they've given us over the years, and maybe have a normal, human conversation. Make it a more laid back experience for all involved. I'm sure they all enjoy feeling a bit more down to earth when they're not on stage. Especially if it's such a short, once in a lifetime chance encounter. I'd be happier knowing that I made them feel like people, rather than making them feel like the Celine machine.

Her impreession of Tina is spot on !!!

[mike_z]

I love the way she performs the acoustic medley but now I have realized why I'm not so fond of it. The background vocals sound so off! As if someone was flat... and that makes everything sound off! It's a pity... at first I thought it was her who was not on point, but then I realized whenever there are no background vocals she sounds just fine!

I don't know who's fault it is but they should really try to make them sound good... I mean for what they're charging!

 

What's the name of the black girl? How long she has been on the show for?

 

I've always wondered too.. how long can Élise take? I mean, she's good friends with Céline but all voices become less and less elastic with age!

Dawn Cumberbatch has been part of Celine 's backup singers since her return in 2011

 

 

Thank god that blonde woman vanished. Mary-lou or something. Didn't like her.

To be honest, I don't even have a clue what Celine's backup singers sound like, because all I am ever focused on is Celine. LOL.

 

Celine doesn't need backup singers that sound like a Josh Groban or a Mariah Carey because those are star voices. Celine is the star of the show, so the only star sounding voice should be Celine's, because that's who everyone's paying $250.00 - $500.00 to hear. Let's face it, people aren't paying that money to hear Barnev or Alise sing.

 

In my opinion, having backup singers who are equally as good at singing as Celine wouldn't let Celine's voice truly shine as it should. Having backup singers with voices that are not amazingly good, but still good, just brings forward how amazing Celine's voice is and truly lets it shine and be in it's full glory.

 

I think that having to many great singers on a stage can be a problem, because great singers always want to be heard and have a tendency to over power or outshine another singer. I think great singers aren't programed to be in the background. LOL.

 

Those are just my thoughts and opinions anyways.

[Javito]

I too agree that Barnev goes off pitch all the time during the medley section. Everytime he sings the "aaaaahhh-aaaaahhh's" in ANDHC a little kitten dies in some corner of the world

Mary-Lou was SO BLAND. Dawn has a lot more energy and I've always loved Élise.

 

I wish Jean-Seb would come back and replace Barnev.

You really have no idea what you're talking about lol.

Good singers, great singers are often background singers because they're excellent at harmonies. They know their key, can hear others, and understand the importance of blending and supporting the lead vocals. Deborah Cox was a background singer for Céline once and Mariah for Brenda K. Starr, and Tamar Braxton for her sister Toni. And Tamar probably is one of the best current singers out there.

I think you misinterpreted what I was trying to say, or maybe I didn't use the right words.

 

I was just trying to say that the musical director is of course entitled to ask them to sound good in case one of them doesn't.

 

As for Dawn, I was just asking her name because I honestly don't know her. I've never seen this new show. (aside from my comment on the background vocals sounding a bit bland).

 

I agree the energy is nice of all three of them. I just sometimes miss good old days when her background singers sounded really powerful:

I can see your guys points about the whole backup singer thing. I know that of course there are great singers out there who know how to blend there voice with another artists voice. I know that it obviously takes true talent and great singing to properly be able to blend with another persons voice.

 

I knew that someone might bring up Deborah Cox. I think she did a great job blending with Celine's voice. I guess all I was trying to say was that I think great singers need to be in the spotlight. I know there are singers out there who prefer to be in the background and I totally respect and understand that because I know that not everyone wants to shine bright for all to see.

 

I personally think that great talent belongs front and center, but I know that not everyone feels this way. Some people prefer being in the background because being the center of attention is very nerve racking and not for everyone.

 

At the end of the day though, I don't mind if Celine's backup singers are great or not because when I see Celine in concert, I'm only there to see her. I guess that is what I meant to get across in my original post.

It's not good to have background singers that suck even though you're not there to see them. They're there to compliment the lead voice and make the musical experience more pleasant. If they're not good, and are singing harmonies off key, they're not helping Celine shine. They're instead creating a sound that shouldn't be there.

I didn't mean I wanted them to suck. I see what your saying. I know that at the end of the day, Celine needs the best people in her corner. Whether it's the best producers, songwriter or singers. I guess I wouldn't want her to settle for anything less then great, so I think I change my mind on my view of the backup singers having to be great. I only want the best for Celine.

 

I only brought it up in the first place because I see people on here from time to time, saying how much they don't like Barnev and other opinions on her backup singers and I've never really understood or cared why people were so focused on that.

 

I just figure that if Celine likes who she's working with, it shouldn't matter if we don't like them. I like that she's had the same backup singers for so long. I said before that I don't pay attention to the backup singers, but that isn't 100% true. I still notice them and freak out when I see there familiar faces. It's comforting in a way. I guess I am just hoping that they don't get replaced any time soon, like her musicians did.

 

That's why I got so passionate about it I guess, because at the end of the day I really do care about Celine's current backup singers because I have grown up watching them and seeing there familiar faces.

 

I will stop talking about this now because I am going to start being annoying and people are probably bored of this conversation by now.
