In the first 24 hours the number of views exceeded one million

They have succeeded making the middle section of the show as boring now as it was when it was at seventeen, bond medley, and lullaby amongst others.

 

It's just this constant Vegas disconnect where they manage time after time to make bad decisions. They can't give us a show that builds upon what they start with. You think with that goal in mind it should be easy to make something great even better. Each time what they start with is the best it will ever be, and as time goes on gets picked apart, butchered, etc. So sad.

[flutefreak]

I'm sad they took out immortality. For me this was one of the most emotional parts of the show, was one of her own songs and was sang live. Really hoping they add it back. Loved HDAMLF though and really glad they added it but there could have been time for both IMO.

[TiagoFragoso05]

I think they added this song and removed two to rest the voice for the tour

This concert is getting really boring, at least for me that watch almost every single concert by video.. It's almost the same moves, same of the same.

Like i said i think they removed two songs for the voice coz of the upcoming tour

Dont forget that for the non fans who came to the show will always see the whole show as the new show. All of her speech will always be funny for them. For us, we already getting tired of it.

I have to admit that I am so dissapointed with Céline's career now. And it hurts to say that. The "after René" (and now Aldo) becomes so ovious. She's running wild.

 

First, the BB performance and what came after left me with a bittersweet taste : she was praised by everybody ( the press, the artists, the general public) for a mediocre staged lipped performance. I mean ...really? It opened my eyes on how deep the musical scene has fallen and how poor are the 2017 generation's expectations. Everybody ( I mean the majority) was happy with Céline not moving on a vocally poor pre-recorded track! Whow!

 

Then the new addition to the Vegas Show : she adds one song to cut off 2. There's actually no staging and all that Céline is doing is moving her arm like she started her stage career last week. Shocking! Really.

 

And I won't comment (again) on her current vocal condition.

 

I know there will be people to say that some are always complaining but fact is I'd rather have ONE stunning performance than 50 mediocre ones. Period.

 

I had always dreamed of Céline doing buzz, aknowledged as an ICON by everybody ...and here we are : that moment has finally come. But I would have never thought it would be without an inch of artistic integrity. There's no new music of her out there and just lame renditions of her previous hits.

 

She is doing a lot, I wouldn't certainly call it lazyness but most of it sucks. The fact is she is not surrounded by anyone who would advise her. That woman doesn't even have a manager right now!

She should really get her together. I've never believed in those artists claiming they are doing everything by themselves, sorry. You can't focus on everything. There are always some sides failing. She's free, it shows ..she does what she wants and how she wants to. Good for her. But I refuse to believe that what I witness right now is the artist I have fallen in love with. She still sure has some dazzling moves but these are too much scattered to be satisfied.

 

I won't change my mind because most of people now see her as "THE" singer. These are surely not aware of what she was capable of. And to quote a writer I don't remember anymore : that a lot of people are wrong doesn't mean it's right.

Some people can be so rude when Celine was paying her respects to the victims(Manchester). Some comments were like she's probably doing to get attention or more money etc..

How dare you? How dare you speak about Céline and Vegas that way, and about her choices?

 

Did Javito tell you to write that? Did he bribe you or something?

[pat200]

the thing is for someone like her who just recently admitted on one of the specials that her level of expecting perfection is even higher now than it was before, how can she accept her average at best vocal performances? those vegas shows are ruining her, but hey she is making tons of money so why does she care. her voice has lost so much and i am not talking about its nasality only, i am talking about its fluidity, its musicality and resonance. she just needs rest and vocal exercises. but would she do that? doesnt look like it. even her speaking voice sounds stuffed, high pitched as if she is sobbing talking...

 

ps she needs to stop rambling on and on in those concerts, people want to hear you sing not talk.

[jpatdeleon09]

I was reading a topic about Celine in Mariah Carey Forum and they were talking about celine, mariah and whitney's voice over the years that it starts to deteriorate that they should not have a concert every night because their songs have belting and acrobatic parts that can ruin their vocal chords. They even said that céline voice changes because of her vegas shows since A New Day. It really ruins her voice.

[PuraVida]

Dreaming of one day when she'll stop Vegas! She said herself in last year's (this year's?) Katie Couric interview that she feels held hostage by her songs.

 

Bring back...

 

Show Some Emotion

If You Asked Me To

I Want You to Need Me

Declaration of Love

Nothing Broken But My Heart

 

I would pay the price of a New Day Show just to hear those five songs sung....

[sfbaysinger]

Does anyone know if she did How Does A Moment Last Forever tonight? I agree it would be neat to have some of the songs mentioned in the last post come back.

I think this line in bold sums up your entire point.

 

Celine has obviously made the decision to perform as much as possible. She started back in Vegas pretty much immediately after Rene passed. She then did a huge summer tour last year (and sounded beautiful), released a lovely French album, continued on with Vegas, and she's planning ANOTHER big summer tour which I think will be full of English songs we haven't heard in ages. Unlike some other artists -- like Barbra Streisand -- who will take very long periods of time to rest / recoup / re-energize. Celine has made the decision to keep working. And isn't that admirable?

 

This is what is so clear to me but it doesn't seem to be clear some other fans who are maybe holding onto "yesterday's Celine":

 

Her iconic status that has finally arrived is not just based on her talent or her voice. It is based on her CHARACTER. Why in the world are we so hard on her? I think it separates some of us fans. The fans of just The Voice vs. fans of both The Voice and Celine's Character. I could listen to Celine's fluid, out of this world vocals all day long. But I also admire her so much as a human being. She has carried on after some tremendous hardship. I personally know some people who have lost loved ones who can hardly get through their day to day lives. Have you experienced true hardship / loss? It's debilitating. Celine lost her husband / mentor / the man who has been by her side as her guiding light and manager since she was A KID. And now he is gone.

 

When Celine performed at The Billboard Awards the other night -- it wasn't just about her voice. It was about her character. It was about being a hero. Someone who rises from the ashes. She is stronger than anybody, including many of us, ever gave her credit for. THAT'S what the incredible standing ovation was for. Who gives a s*** if she didn't sound as great as usual? She has very much transformed into a true Icon. It's happening before our eyes.

 

No artistic integrity? Celine proved her artistic integrity by the age of 12! She proves it each night in Vegas when there are some of those magical moments that only Celine Dion can create despite singing the same song night after night. She proves her artistic and personal integrity by carrying on. That's more than enough for now.

 

A couple days after the BB performance, she gives a fluidly delicious performance of How Does A Moment Last Forever. Her voice changes each day, as Celine says herself. I do not think that Celine Dion's voice is tarnished. There are some performance clips that are just as stunning as ever.

 

I don't give a crap if Celine has some trendy hit on the radio anymore. She is far beyond that now.

 

I am so proud of her for carrying on. I am embracing this wonderful phase in her career. I know her voice is still strong. And I hope that we can ALL celebrate that Celine is getting some much deserved recognition right now.

 

There's a lot of great things to come.

If she really wants to rest her voice, then she should consider lessening her unnecessary talk onstage.

[jpatdeleon09]

Less stalk, more singing. People see her to hear her sing not to talk or be a comedian. She can joke or talk but not at least 20 minutes long. fot me, i like the scripted speech like she was doing in a new day and early celine vegas show than now being free in what she wants to do. Maybe later people/audience may lose some respect to her and shout to zip it and start singing.

[jpatdeleon09]

But céline always cracks me up when she's acting like an old lady (when she was talking about how many years she recorded that song)

Here we are again. Yes, she should stop Vegas as soon as possible or she must change the show/setlist.

My hope is when she is on tour in Europe, that she can focuses and concentrates on the show/music and has more artistic free space.

Fingers crossed for a great setlist.

BTW: Did Team Celine received our setlist wishes?

Unlike some other artists -- like Barbra Streisand -- who will take very long periods of time to rest / recoup / re-energize. Celine has made the decision to keep working. And isn't that admirable?

 

I think it's running away from her feelings. I think she works, works, works, in order to keep busy (as she admitted herself), so she won't feel lonely, she won't have to think about being alone without her soulmate etc etc. I hear people say oh it's so great that she has moved on bla bla, but I don't think she is. When I see her perform or on a red carpet, I still see her suffering and being hurt. In my opinion it would have been better if she cancelled everything in 2016 and then for a year properly mourned his death, come to herself again and then move on. I'm afraid that at one point she'll have a nervous breakdown from running all over the place, without any real direction nor guidance. Especially now Aldo is out of the picture and there seems to be no new manager.

 

And about this horrible Vegas show now... I am sure Céline can make her own decisions, but I don't think she has a clear vision of where her career should be going. She needs a good manager for that and I don't think Vegas night after night and selling Household products with your name on it is the way. I hope she'll find a good, trustworthy manager who will bring her back to the essence: the music. She should focus on recording great albums, do little tours and have enough time to spend with her kids and do stuff she really likes to do, like events like the METS Gala.
