Céline on Billboard Music Awards - May 21st, 2017

[DionFanAlways]

Since "My Heart Will Go On" is confirmed, her team may want to think about fixing this for those of us in the U.S. (and possibly beyond):

Just sayin'.

You like beating that dead horse. :P

Yes it's frustrating.

But....and it seems to be just me thinking this......why?

 

Is R Kelly gonna be there with a special performance of "I Believe I Can Fly"?? 20 years since that song ya know. What about LeAnn Rimes with "How Do I Live"??? 20 years since that one came out. Maybe they'll invite The Spice Girls back to perform "Wannabe" to mark 20 years since the song was released in the USA.

 

Hey look, i'm glad Celine will be part of the show and it's another public appearance for her but I've honestly never seen anything like this. Will Faith Hill be invited in 2021 to mark 20 years since the Pearl Harbour movie and "There You'll Be"???

 

All of the other songs you mentioned pale in comparison to the success that "Titanic" was. "Titanic" and MHWGO were MASSIVE. "Titanic" held the record at the box office for a very long time. The soundtrack being 99% instrumental, sold MILLIONS all because of one song. The movie, soundtrack, and song were monumental moments in pop culture. Not that some of the other songs you mentioned weren't, but certainly not to this caliber.

When did Whitney Houston sing I will always love you

 

1994

[jpatdeleon09]

I like the original one (Dolly parton's version of I Will Always Love You)

[stone]

Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood earlier today announced it as their ***BREAKING NEWS*** of the day. Seems like the media is quite sensationalizing this appearance! People also forgot that it wasn't just a song but it actually was just as big as the movie if not bigger in some eyes. MHWGO was also the most played song in radio history (without payola). Sony only released I believe like 238,000 copies of the single in February of 1998 for 2 weeks, which was the only reason why it was #1 for only 2 weeks. If this song was on the recently changed Billboard charts, it would have been #1 for a whole year or longer essentially.

If you also take away the movie, song, and soundtrack, the sinking of the Titanic has been a legendary story that still gets told and remembered.

Do you think that billboard music awards would invite Whitney Houston to sing I will always love you for the 20th anniversary if she was still alive.

it is big as Celine would say... i think now that it is a great idea, but as i said, a little risky because people have big expectation, and it will a time for Celine to be Good...

Before that question, we need to know:

 

Is the movie "The Bodyguard" is as big as the movie "Titanic"? Because that's this event is for ("20th Anniversary of Titanic").

 

If the Bodyguard is in the top 3 best-selling movies in the World History like Titanic. So yes, she could be invited.

1994

 

Wasn't it 1992?

[manu23]

I'm so so looking forward to this, the majority of people probably haven't heard this song in 10 years and they will love it! The status and admiration Celine is getting nowadays is really astonishing, I honestly thing her popularity now has overtaken all of her peers, I don't think any other artist for the 90s is so admired right now.

Yeah the film etc was in 1992 and she performed I Have Nothing at the '93 Billboards,and won several awards 😀

I think they would have gotten someone else to do it and treated it as a tribute.

[LukeD]

Love the positivity here and how we all have high expectations for this performance! I also read comments on FB and seems like people are anticipating!

 

This can be bigger than last year!

[mirage]

Something like the Oscars, a huge orchestra, and like in the video clip at the end when she has that note, we need a wind machine haha

 

Nah I just hope she will nail it vocally, otherwise we have that problem haha

[Shamrock_1982]

With how technology and lighting are now a days they could make this visually stunning, and jaw dropping to go with her voice. A performance that everyone even non fans will be talking about!

 

Im not a fan at all but Beyoncé last performance at the lady performance was incredible with how effects and technology were used.

 

With the hype and information so soon this should be pretty special.

 

[mirage]

You are right! Who knows what they planned. Still think they will really do something special, otherwise they could have announced it right away.

Instead of teasing us with "something special planned"

 

For a lot of people this will be the first time they may even see her perform this live on an award show.

Crazy isnt it?!

 

If they do this the right way and upload the performance right away it could be another hit haha

Let's bombard the team beforehand with tweets and msgs demanding the performance is uploaded right away. They can't wait a week to do it. Ride it high. Edited May 9, 2017 at 08:14 PM by stevo

[mirage]

We need to do that yes!

[davidjag79]

I'm sure this may have been stated by someone earlier in the thread but as a big fan of Celine I wish she would do it in the way she did at the Edison ballroom private concert 2013

Probably not only wishful thinking...

[Javito]

I'd love her to wear the Heart of the Ocean necklace again for this performance (even if she sold her own copy that René bought for her) :wub:

I was thinking the same thing!

[Shamrock_1982]

I read that the necklace was donated to a museum here in the UK. But I'm sure I can find a window to collect it and take it to Vegas if they want to cover my airfare lol.

Yeah just don't beat your chest with it on

[CelinesDIVO5]

Did she own a copy?? I know it was lent to her for the Oscars and she had said a couple of times that she wouldn't want to own it because, once you wear it once, that's it. It's luster is gone once you wear it a second time. She also said it was dreadfully heavy and not something she'd want to wear again, as beautiful as it was.

I remember her saying on the Rosie O'Donnell show that she didn't want one because even though it's beautiful u can only really wear it one time and the novelty would kind of wear off or something to that effect. She did say that if Rene wanted to buy it for her she wouldn't refuse😉

They're airing the Billboard Music Award commercial that has Celine as the main part singing MHWGO nonstop on tv. Clearly they will not be stupid and will go all out with the mis en scene of the staging.

We will see if they can do it better than Chinese TV

When I see that video my reaction is like "omg. That was in 2013 but seems like it's been forever. Are we getting that performance again, in 2017??? :wacko: "

 

But once you watch the whole thing I think it's not that bad, and probably many people out there will like to see this song performed by her again, after so many years That's what I hope at least!

It just need a good, scratch that, an epic introduction/presentation video of titanic and of a fierce Celine. It will blow people's mind from the start and make them realize how this song was an epic classic, then Celine arrives and blow the house down.
