Celine (Las Vegas show) [ends: June 8th, 2019] - Official topic

[ordinary fan]

Even if she sick about it, I doubt she sick of it since the beginning. It's just she's at the point where she feel bored and uninspired. Nothing drama about it. Even people who fall in love can be bored sometimes and get to the point where they just want to divorce, it doesn't mean they never in love.

And the absence of Rene could be the reason where she saw no point to continue. And her kids are grown up now.

But hey who am I to say what she feels or what she thinks about it, all I have is an opinion and assumptions. The fact is, it's gonna end soon. No need to complain what's already done, it change nothing.

well said! Come down people, there´s no need to be that negativ about something you can´t change anyway, let´s simply enjoy the last 47 shows and we´ll see what the future will bring us...

Love the gold dress!!! Makes her look so young also the hoops are very a la A New Day Has Come era!

 

And I’m glad some of y’all know her agenda so wel. When did y’all last meet with her on what she likes and doesn’t like? Her retirement plans? Oh my, y’all must have a direct phone line!

[Dion2000]

Those hoops are AMAZING

 

 

Also her arms look so toned and muscley

No, remember, she doesn’t have a phone...

[mirage]

This is stunning!!

 

And I LOVE Céline wearing those big earrings makes her soooo sexy!!

 

I liked the black dress because of the color, but that long train and asymmetrical sleeve, that's too weird for me haha.

 

This golden one sooo classy and sexy!

 

Now just a little bit of a darker hair color, just a little bit.

Love Jlo her hair color, but darker roots will look soooo sexy on Céline.

 

Anyway can't wait to see some HQ pics or videos with this dress

Full show from last night

[CelinesDIVO5]

 

 

Especially as in 2014 Caesars "allowed" Céline not to sing for a year, and it was not for her own health conditions, but René's conditions.

 

Not sure that would have been something that was foreseen in the contract and covered in any insurance policy - the death of her partner, potentially, but not the long period of illness.

Just like for "normal" jobs: you may have legally/contractually days off for funerals but not to stay for a lengthy period with your ailing partner.

 

Somehow I believe Caesars granted her the year leave (2014-2015). I guess because of the relationship created since A New Day show. In René's Celebration of Life, executives spoke and clearly the human bonds sounded deep and with a lot of respect.

 

But financially that must have been a hit to Caesars.

 

Therefore, Céline must have, in return to this gesture, to give something back. It's business, hence the pressure indeed on Céline's shoulders that everything is ok. And those 20 missed shows, that added up to the costs (covered partially by insurance in that situation though I suppose).

 

I think we do not consider enough the financial constraints that are on such long term engagement.

 

In the negotiation to leave the residency, I wonder if actually there was any guilt aspects from Céline perspective to renew for the 2014-2015 missing shows. But that's another unknown story - maybe for For Keeps 2

 

Contracts of this nature have all sorts of insurance riders and stipulations attached to them. I’m sure Celine was well covered for any time she had to take off. It’s not the same as you or me having to call out sick or take family medical leave.

Celine Dion - Celine (Residency)

 

03rd Nov - 55 tickets / 4,222 tickets

06th Nov - 331 tickets / 4,222 tickets

07th Nov - 710 tickets / 4,222 tickets

09th Nov - 354 tickets / 4,222 tickets

10th Nov - 232 tickets / 4,222 tickets

13th Nov - 871 tickets / 4,222 tickets

14th Nov - 1,231 tickets / 4,222 tickets

16th Nov - 447 tickets / 4,222 tickets

17th Nov - 261 tickets / 4,222 tickets

 

I've looked at Ticketmaster, and the above is what she has left to shift for each show - she has 4,492 tickets left to sell in the month of November! And that she's probably sold over 33,500 tickets for her 9 shows thus far. As we all know, lots of Vegas residencies sell their tickets last minute, so I suspect these numbers will drastically drop over the coming days, but it's shaping up to be a really decent leg!

Dedicated to all the naysayers, bitching members and all those living in denial with the glorious marvelous Vegas chaper in Céline's career, both old and new, here's this, posted in the new album thread

 

With love,

 

 

 

And my reply to it:

 

THANK YOU!

 

Finally someone is saying what's been just a well-known secret! This confirms my 15-year activity in this forum and my "ranting/complaining/whining", which after all it was just TRUE .

 

This confirms in every comma the version that Lara Fabian (yes, singer LARA FABIAN) personally told a friend of mine fan of Céline too (not present in this forum), and she exactly told him this version of events, which is what I have believed all this time and I've always been sure of.

 

Please let me repeat the key words. Céline is SICK of Vegas. Céline is BORED OUT OF HER MIND of it.

 

Where are all the naysayers who say it was HER choice, it was HER decision, and that she is happy with it??? I hope their denial and scales fall from their eyes. once and for all.

 

Do you really think an artist would choose to be sick and bored of a situation in her career, if she could avoid it? Céline never totally chose this Vegas adventure, but René. And Céline never chose to be sick to death of performing 1,200 shows, BUT FOR THE PRESSURE OF RENÉ AND CAESARS PALACE and the scandalous money they paid her to be there. But Céline was for the money there. She was to please her husband and with a huge pressure on her shoulders to satisfy other people. Not because it was "her decision" or "her choice". PERIOD!

 

Will you ever learn now? That Céline won't say anything negative because she just will never talk bad/negative about anyone/anything? But you have to read between lines and see it in Celine's eyes during recent interviews, and how she dodged the questions about Vegas in the last interview we got.

 

Céline has never been more imprisoned in that show than today. Probably she realised how many things she's missed for that slave-contract. And probably she realised how sick she is of always pleasing others instead of doing what she really wants.

 

I'm glad she puts and end to this!

 

 

WTF does LARA FABIAN have to do with anything? What an absolutely random thing to say. You speak as if Lara and Celine have been friends for decades. As far as I know the last time they were even in the same venue together (not even the same room) was Eurovision lmao. MAYBE they attended one or two of the same awards ceremonies since then. And Lara covered a song or two of hers over the years.

 

Oh, well...my friend spoke to Lara Fabian. She has all the dirt on Celine in Vegas!

 

How would you know any of this to be true...just because it came from another singer...who has absolutely nothing to do with Celine. Even IF Lara said SOMETHING to your friend. It doesn’t mean shít!! The fact that you take a “well she said this to someone I know and then they came and told me” scenario as gospel is troubling in itself.

 

Ever hear of the game telephone? It’s a game to model how passed on gossip gets lost in translation. It’s a chain reaction. From the source, to the person they tell, then that person tells another person. And it’s never the same as what the original source actually said. So, unless you have a recorded conversation of this encounter...it’s all just a game of telephone. Or just you making up some BS. One of the two.

 

Give it up Javi. Your new day has come. She’s quitting Vegas. Now stop harping on the same freakin thing over and over and over again for (as you say), the past 15 years. How are you not as bored with yourself repeating the same words, as you say Celine is with Vegas? Jesus...

Britneys residency is not selling well and Celine is still queen. Funny how just a week ago the media were hailing Britney as the new queen in Vegas:

I think it's worth remembering that Vegas residencies are notorious for selling "day of" - Celine is no exception to that rule - so I think we'll have to wait until closer to the residency to make an informed decision.

Unlike Mariah whos vegas debut in july this year, she had only sold 3/4s of the tickets 2 days before the show began lol.

 

Celines never really had an issue with selling tickets in vegas even after all her cancellations

What makes Mariah's numbers even worse is that in Vegas, she never even puts the top tier on sale - so she's only ever selling around 3,000-3,300 tickets anyway.

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT

 

I know when she came to Glasgow (I went to see her), the SSE Hydro holds around 13,000 people when you use a “in the round” (they have an extra seating area that they can insert where an end stage should be and they then can use it as a in the round). Mariah only sold the floor tickets and half of the first tier which came to around 3,500, SHE COULD EVEN SELL THAT OUT.

 

Celine sold 11,900 (sold out) #queen

Mariah did the same at the SSE Hydro though...

 

Mariah Carey

Glasgow, United Kingdom

3,506 / 3,835 (95%)

 

Venue holds up to 13,000 like you say, she only put 3,835 tickets on sale, sold 3,506 of them and then have the nerve to report it as "95% sold-out".

Thats what im saying... she barely sold 1/4 of the venues capacity and yet because they only released floor tickets, it counts as a 95% sell out

 

 

Why do you think shes only doing theatres on her US tour #ohhowthemightyhavefallen

Can't fall if you were never performing at that level to begin with.

[Tom_London_Fan]

It’s so clearly obvious that Mariah is having to keep up appearances. With Celine, there’s no need for that. She’s still one of the most in-demand artists in the world and a touring force. I bet with a few limited shows, she could still sell out stadiums in the U.K. and Europe like she does in France. Her box office figures for the past few mini-tours were absolutely astonishing. Only Madonna and a few other elite artists can pull in these numbers. It makes me so proud!!

[Tom_London_Fan]

Mariah has always been a ‘singles’ artist. She’s never been able to tour on a large scale, not even at the height of her popularity. She has some great songs among her discography...but she’s never been that good of a live entertainer.

Oh yeah definitely.

 

In 2008 her popularity was way less and she was somewhat shunned but she still managed to sell 60,000 tickets for Croke Park in dublin.

 

She could easily do stadiums in the UK still.

 

 

London, Olympic stadium (in 2017, she sold the equivalent of 58,319 tickets for her london show, and the 65,000 capacity of the stadium is for in the round, not end stage).

 

Manchester, If we examine people whove done the same show set up as Celine for shows, and the fact that both her Manchester shows before their rescheduling sold out in a few seconds, id say she woulve sold around 24,000 tickets for those two shows. Meaning she could easily pull in 58,000 for Etihad Stadium

 

Birmingham, Birminghams biggest is 42,000, and her shows there sold 23,000 sold out in minutes so.... yeah

 

 

Glasgow, I remember there being HUGE demand for a second show at the Hydro in 2017 OR a rescheduling to Hampden Park, which IMO she could easily sell out.

 

Dublin, see above. If she could do 60,000 in 2008, she could do it now no problem.

 

Belfast, the demand alone would sell out a stadium for a Belfast show NO ISSUE

Don't you love the "I-told-you-so" type of people who think they know it all and keep pushing their point of view, and then respond to those who have a different opinion with and . Gee, grow up!! You are not 12 anymore.

[Nmj]

 

 

 

But that wouldnt make ANY sense. Wear a golden GOWN and sing Im alive and TTWII...

 

Why wouldn’t it make sense to wear a gold dress? She has worn dresses for both songs in the past. For TTWII at World Childrens Day. And for I’m Alive during the Salute to the Troops and for Chrysler promotion.

Theres a difference between a dress and a GOWN. Very big. That dress doesnt suit the songs at all. Btw, the dresses worn for STTP and Chrysler were dresses, not floor length and certainly not glittery gowns. The dress worn for WCD was due to the fact that she wasnt gonna Change for that one song, shes never worn a gown in a show for uptempo numbers for a reason.

Yeah, what she wears changes the way she moves for a song. Just look how she performed You're the Voice during the tour with the short dress. She danced around, ran, moved a lot. Now, not so much.

No i know but I just don't like the gold pantsuit in general. Maybe I wouldn't mind so much if it was a diff colour. I certainly liked the outfit she used for IA on the AND dvd

and that might be the reason why the prices of this last leg are so extremely high - to let Celine pay for the costs of those missed shows.l

Full show from last night

 

that was a great crowd and she was in a really good mood.

 

12:04 she's so flirty/sassy ha

19:20 - who did she single out? Have they been to her show so many times that she recognizes them? lol.

Someone was on the phone and she asks them if everyone at home is okay. "Mamacita's on the phone, I just wanna make sure the baby's okay." "It doesn't want to go to bed"

"okay ladies, you're all seated, got your drinks, went to the bathroom?"

 

she looks so beautiful in that gold gown, and she knows how to work it.

 

47:40 - Choir director Dion

Ashes sounded so good

1:15:24 - woah dramatic turn for At Seventeen, I like it. The string medley has become a highlight of the show imo.

1:36:27 - she high-fives someone with her boot lol

 

I think minus that hiccup during CHFIL this was the best show so far this week. Vocally and just from her mood during the show.

[browseceline]

I’m really starting to hate reading this thread.

 

So. Much. Negativity.

 

Are you guys even fans?

 

being a fan is also sharing opinions and also negative ones and i think most of us in here really get what is going on. All in all i think it is good Celine stops this Vegas adventure

[browseceline]

 

Agree, but if she can negotiate the "biggest deal ever", she can be ready to assume on her shoulders also all the pressure and stress that is behind the losses for cancelling shows and all kinds of nightmares behind such big responsibility...

 

You can't have it all. So having a crazy appearance fee and the ability to sign what is a millionaire contract has also its drawbacks. Honestly I don't think Céline wants that deal and that pressure anymore! She's done enough for Vegas already and she has had enough trouble and sacrifices working almost exclusively for them

 

 

 

And... this!!! Exactly and spot-on about Madonna...

been saying that so often. Even though her fans want her to do those older songs she does it her way and the fans still keep coming to her shows
