Javito Posted July 31, 2016 at 11:29 AM Posted July 31, 2016 at 11:29 AM i didnt like the idea of celine the superstar to be in that situation interviewing unknown people and talking about things shes not interested into,and also kathy lee is not her friend so there must have been some respect ,not to say to celine u are crazy or acting wierd ,aldo was wrong to put her in the situation Kathy kept calling Celine crazy and wacky over and over again and kind of implied that she must be drunk. At the end of the interview she even made it out like her show was going to get bad press and that people were going to say that Celine was drunk on morning television and Kathy made sure everyone knew that Celine only had a tiny bit to drink. It was really a shame. There personalities didn't match at all. Kathy looked and acted weirded out the entire time. Wow you do really like to see ghosts where there's any right? I can't see where Kathy was rude to Céline at all! Céline started being goofy and making jokes about the wine she had with her. So it was HER who started joking with having wine in the show, it was HER who opened the door to that game and Kathy just followed her... Where's the rudeness? In any case it's Céline's fault because she was a little bit out of control and super excited. The show was great and both Céline and Kathy had genuine fun each other! 7 Quote "Hush, now...

Peppercorn1991 Posted July 31, 2016 at 01:32 PM Posted July 31, 2016 at 01:32 PM (edited) To those who asked, this post pretty much summed up everything as to why I felt her appearance on "Today" was a letdown. Also, for the love of God, can she please stop doing the insipid and annoying, "SING WITH ME!," stuff so much, please?! Once is fine, but the amount she did it during the appearance and she has been doing lately has gotten out of hand. What a stupid thing to complain about..... Just watching the concert again and your comment came to mind. I reminds me of the Celine I've always known....

Javito Posted July 31, 2016 at 01:33 PM Posted July 31, 2016 at 01:33 PM (edited) Okay so after going through 25 pages on this thread (the things that fans do )... To keep it short... I liked the mini concert on the whole. Great voice. Great enthusiasm. The shine in her eyes is back again and it's even more noticeable when she's performing outdoors and far from Vegas-cage. So? F*ck Vegas? Yes, always! This was a mini section brought directly to you from the Vegas show. Could she have risked more, like in Paris? Of course. Coulda woulda shoulda. But let her get ready... she will in the end, I'm sure. She will bring the anti tour and songs she has never performed in English before, sames as have happened with the French tour Would I have preferred ANDHC, IA or TTWII in full version? Of course. That acoustic medley is perfect for a flat audience like the one she has in Vegas, for which she needs almost to implore them to stand up in order to give her some sign that they're still alive and can move some muscles of their body. But for an outdoors concert with a lively and enthusiastic audience such as the one gathered in Rockefeller Center, yes, full versions of the songs with full arrangements are much more suitable and they should have forgotten about an acoustic medley (which again, works better in an "intimate" setting like the Vegas stage). But that said, am I thankful for her to still have performed the ANDHC/IA/TTWII medley? Hell yes! That's much better than nothing! It's just that there are some things that will never change, as long as she has to promote that (F) contract in Vegas The girl was there to promote and support her next run of concerts in Vegas in September (thank Vegas again) more than a new French album or anything else. And please don't forget none of us expected her to do this out-of-the-blue promotion in the US. We should take this Today Show as a bonus So I too have mixed feelings with this mini concert, but because 1) she wasn't promoting any new English album and 2) it was just a mini concert, I'm not mad at her. If she had done this setlist in the middle of her next new English album, yes, then I would be so mad . But this was just not the moment to present new songs or take the stage with an English song nobody knows, all of a sudden. I do hope she does that when she's on TV prime time next year and next with the new single, she performs songs she has never performed before, from her own repertoire and not covers I don't understand the negativity around WAAF, it's a great song and Celine does it perfectly live, sure there were some lyrics issues but if it weren't for that I would have though it was playback, at some parts it sounded as in the cd! Because that song has been jinxed since minute 1? All that song brought to Céline and René even before it was released was a nightmare and headaches thanks to its songwriter Daniel Merrywhatever Only for the bad press he brought to Céline accusing her of stealing the song (remember she had to publicly apology and change the album title because of his tantrums?), Céline should have let it drop out from the album tracklist and forget about performing it. But Céline is too polite to do that and unfortunately she still has a crush with the song today, apparently :doh:What she sees in this song, it's beyond my understanding. To me WAAF is just crap and it only brings bad memories Edited July 31, 2016 at 01:44 PM by Javito 1 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"
Javito Posted July 31, 2016 at 01:58 PM Posted July 31, 2016 at 01:58 PM That's here, in the first minute and a half of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjJhc_QhGQI Here, 0:46 "Not often that I get out of Caesars Palace in Vegas. So when I come out I go crazy!" And thank God you get out Céline, thank God. We appreciate your extra-Vegas craziness 1 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"
Javito Posted July 31, 2016 at 02:09 PM Posted July 31, 2016 at 02:09 PM (edited) I love her performances of this song from 1992 and 1993. Seems as if the last time she truly sang this song nearest to the album version (hitting all the F5s, nailing all the ad libs) was in November 1993 at TCOML concert. Even as early as a few months later for the Olympia cd she was already getting lazy on this song and it only got worse and worse. After her first hiatus it got god awful, but if you listen to the opening night bootleg from 2003 vegas she oddly does several ad libs and notes she had not done in years. Very interesting performance. Sadly rdmh recently in paris has gotten this way. The ending of the song is terrible. The verses are a joke. It's all just bad. At least she has fun with it and the crowd gets into it. It's not that she can't sing it, because she could knock it out the park just like vegas 2007 if she wanted. Watching her lazily get thru this makes me wonder how much longer until she gets bored and other songs get this same treatment - kiss and purple rain,l would be examples, so would ce soir on danse naziland in the tour . What I love now about these songs is just the way she sings the entire thing. The verses, her tone, it all sounds so great. Think if we get a DVD in 5 years will we even want it if these songs deteriorate at the same way lcmm and rdmh have? It's sad because it's not about her voice or her current condition but rather just how inspired she is with certain songs or how bored she is with others. That's why it is VERY important that they film her shows when they're on their first days and the songs are still fresh in her voice (especially when it comes to new songs she has never performed before), and not in the end. That's why I didn't really enjoyed the A New Day DVD, because it was filmed near the completion of her residency and you could notice how some songs had lost its magic because they were worn out and not fresh anymore in her voice (she became so used to them after hundreds or performances) I share the same fear you have with her wearing out the new songs she performs. I can't imagine how tired she is of peforming RDMH or LCMM, but I really hope this doesn't happen with Tous les blues or Le vold d'un ange. I'd rather have them cut off from the show while they're still sounding powerful and fresh than seeing the Céline-robot performing them out of boredom (like she does with MANY songs in Vegas) Edited July 31, 2016 at 02:12 PM by Javito Quote "Hush, now...

I reminds me of the Celine I've always known.... Complaining for complaining's sake Kev xI have watched all performances, more than 4 times each, and I never paid attention to Celine asking the fans to sing with her. As you said, it is the Celine I have known for years. She had done so with BYLM, SSDA, WWRY and so on. Besides, the past decade or so certain fan bases called her out on lipping (There are comments in blogs and under YouTube videos too), so it is always a nice move when she proves her vocals are live!
