actual audio version!

 

This sounds like the soundtrack version! The instrumentation in the end is that from the movie version! :wub:

[jpatdeleon09]

I hope the humming in the end would be the original one. Sometimes she messes up her humming in the end like she's experimenting a note. Sometimes great sometimes not

[browseceline]

a stage like this would have been cool - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS8iw7Yl4Oc Edited May 20, 2017 at 11:44 AM by browseceline

They said the movie will be the big part of the performance. So parts of the movie will be as backdrop?

[sash546]

Oh no, looks like she's going to lip it

I hope she nails the syncing like she did last year.

 

My only problem with the MHWGO pre-recorded track (that shes uses in Vegas) is that the bridge sounds too polished - which makes it obvious that it's fake.

It has an autotuned-echo-effect on the "nothing thing I fear" and "forever this way".

See here at 6 mins:

However I am beyond EXCITED for this performance. :spaz:

I hope the production is on point too.

The laser waterfall would be a nice nod to the vegas show - also coz it's just so darn AMAZEBALLS

 

 

She would slay the world if she did the beginning part, like the pandora concerts.

 

 

LAW better bring the fashion game coz she's finally getting the recognition she deserves.

It needs to be an ICONIC moment (see what I did there).

 

PS. I love how much love and buzz she's getting from Billboard. They've been marketing her as 1 of the main attractions.

 

P.S.S. When will she get recognized for pioneering the residency? (another topic for another day)

Toronto Star: My heart and tears go on: Why Titanic still makes me cry

 

I have to say, there's definitely a theme here - people who were kids / young teenagers when this first came out, who are now grown up journalists and totally unironically waking up to the greatness that is Celine. This, the Anne T. Donahue articles, the Sarah Boesveld ones, the podcast I posted above (direct link here, btw).

It's all basically the same millennial demo writing these "Celine is cool" articles. Not aging baby boomers yearning for their younger days and who, let's face it, make up the bulk of Celine's Vegas audience. This is an entirely different crowd who is totally owning up to loving Celine, and I'm totally here for it!

I want to see Céline do a little sign like she's been doing in her vegas show in the end of My Heart Will Go On..

Am I the only one that gets a little dizzy with all the stars spinning around?

[québecflower]

yes, maybe they want to recreate the sinking, apparently, there were a lot of stars that night...

[CelineDionFreak]

Well, that's an interesting way to look at it. And I'm not being sarcastic...

[québecflower]

Well, that's an interesting way to look at it. And I'm not being sarcastic...

me neither, but it is romantic and sad, totally appropriate for the song and the movie.

[Nmj]

I think the production team was messing around with the stars because they are attempting the production in that rehearsal. That rehearsal eas just mostly for cameras and production to figure out best images and angels. Celine will rehearse again tomorrow morning hours before the performance on live tv.

I hope she will do an adlib intro like the Pandora concert. T_T Pray.

[Angel2006]

I think we are not seeing all the effects to there fullest during that short rehearsal clip and that the stars and full effects will look different during the actual Billboard performance. We've read that a lot of the movie will tie into the performance, so I think there is a lot more in store that we haven't seen yet. I think they are holding back on us and keeping the fans in suspense.

 

I'm so excited! I can't believe it's been 20 years since My Heart Will Go On. It's really crazy how fast time flies. This performance will surely be very emotional for Celine. This is going to be another one of those triumphant moments, where Rene will most defiantly be looking down on her, smiling with pride.

[Tyler1991]

While I am excited I'm trying to keep my expectations low. Its too dangerous to get them up high after last years "safe choices" In all honesty when it's all said and done with i don't expect it to be any more memorable than the chinese gala from 2013 where she sang the waterfall with nice visuals and effects.

 

But my personality, I'd rather have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised than to set them high and it just be generic. That's why I'm a pessimist.

I totally agree!

I feel exactly the same way. Maybe I don't want to admit I'm pessimist, I'd rather think of myself as realistic. These days it's a crap shoot with her performances, she can kill it or she could disappoint. We'll have to see which this will be!

[jpatdeleon09]

BBMA must make this Amazing!

[jpatdeleon09]

i hope she'll not do this humming in BMA..

If she's doing it that way the night before...I fear she may. I don't like it either. Too warbled!

 

 

(I'm a negative Ned over here, but still...)

[Shamrock_1982]

Today's the day!

[jpatdeleon09]

I remember someone said that he'll watch BBMA LIVE. I hope you take a video of céline

[MalaysiaCeline]

In malaysia....i will need to go to bed and wake up on Monday morning at 11am then only can watch the live .....so another day to go before the legendary Celine deliver a spectacular my heart will go on show

GMT+8 = 8:00am

 

Am i right?

[angelil78]

GMT+8 = 8:00am

 

Am i right?

 

Yeah and she's on 7 hours before GMT.

 

I'm on GMT so there is no way I'm going to stay awake. But I'll probably wake up earlier to see what is on.

 

I have no expectations for the BBMAs except I can't wait to see Céline and how she will look like. And still crossing my fingers for red carpet.

[jpatdeleon09]

Well, I'm just glad that she'll be performing again in BBMAS. I hope yearly she'll perform there and in Grammys, Oscars. I mean be 90's again. Like almost every shows like this she's present
