Céline on Billboard Music Awards - May 21st, 2017

And besides the RH's just posted on there FB page, So its comfirmed

[Celine Fan 77]

It could be a good idea to perform the tribute to Titanic and surprisingly premiere the new single afterwards, wouldn't it?

[celine4evauk]

Well they're saying there's something special planned so it can't be a normal performance of the song, so why don't all you complaining wait and watch the performance first.

I'm actually glad she's singing her own song instead of a cover. Last year was a cover so it's great she's performing her most famous song.

Yeah of course we'd love a new song but then we all know what would happen if she did. It'll be the same old usual comments complaining there's no mv, no promo, album not out yet, blah blah blah.

It's more likely she'll be there next year and perform yet again but with a new English track.

[duri]

Let´s hope for something special becasuse if it´s only MHWGO singing by Céline it´s little disappointment, she was singing so many times tribute songs etc. but I don´t remember when last time she was singing her new song during big awards ceremony. It´s time to do it yes she is legend but she is doing new music still!

It's funny how you take their "news" as facts. They are not always right

[nuts2you]

thanks for pointing that out , I didn't know that,

[Javito]

Bootleg collectors and Vegas enthusiasts out there, will this be performance #1,247 of the song or #1,248? I don't feel like counting sorry

[Javito]

Maybe she will finally sing How Does A Moment Last Forever here, rephrased into How Does A Hit Last Forever (How Can A Song be recycled for twenty years)

 

I find this logic, but stupid at the same time. Why commemorate this with a special performance and why not when they re-released the movie in 2012 and they did that live Titanic soundtrack concert (especially when James Horner was there) but she failed to attend???

[Kyle_Jared]

People are really, really going to be sick of this song. Merciful jump ins.......this is getting ridiculous.

[Frenchie]

I'm like everyone else, and wished Celine was performing a new single or the new B&B song.

 

But it's an honor that Celine is being asked to come back again (1 year later) to perform MHWGO. If I remember correctly, last year Britney did a long medley of her biggest hits. I say this cause I wonder if they bring back an older artist to celebrate an album or big single every year. And Celine was chosen. It could have been Sarah McLachlan with "Angel", Mariah Carey, Shania Twain's "Come On Over" album, Fleetwood Mac Rumours 40th anniverary, or GNR's "Appetite of Destruction" is turning 30. But it's Titanic. It's Celine. It says something....

 

I guess we are going to get a big ship and fog machines and big fans blowing Celine's hair back. Cool lighting and beautiful dress. Maybe Celine will do something else from the Titanic soundtrack including MHWGO. Like a Titanic medley with a lush orchestra.

Let Celine do whatever she wants to do. She's performing on the show two years in a row. Her performance was one of the most talked about last year and it was a cover song. It never ceases to amaze me the negativity from supposed fans. It's never enough. Good God, let the woman live and do what makes her happy.

 

Who says that's making her "happy"? Where have you been when she has openly admitted dozens of times that she's tired of singing the damn song over and over again, but yet she's resigned to sing it forever even if she's sick of it?

[Javito]

Nah, she needs to reinforce the already stablished image that everyone has of her as the "Titanic singer", just in case someone in the planet hasn't noticed in the last 20 years This way she'll be labelled as the "Titanic singer" for another 20 more years to come. Great move!

Yes, but thanks to this "big" performances always singing to the dead, tributes to extinct groups and random covers, nobody will know about that new music...

 

Last time she performed a new song was Taking Chances for the 2007 AMAs (and yet the song wasn't an original song for her). Tha'ts TEN damn years going to music and movie awards without singing anything new nor original. If they're purpose is to do everything possible to make her look as a "has been" singer and reinforce her legend status as someone from a past age, they're doing a GREAT job

[comingback]

 

Maybe she will sing the "Special Intro" like on the concert in 2013

[Del]

my god, she won't sing that .... song another time? what could be special about it.

What are the chances of a remixed version? I wouldn't mind something different to spice it up.

 

Yep. No comment..... sigh......

 

No need to express my thoughts on this song any further....

I blame you for this. Had you never mentioned the 20th anniversary earlier in the topic this never would have happened. Hahahaha.

[Dancing_Queen]

Why do you guys insist on doing this? Complain BEFORE things even happen? Knowing bloody well that so often she'll pleasantly surprise you?

I remember the first thread I ever read on this board: It was about the 2016 mini tour and how it was gonna be terrible and just Vegas rehashed. Y'ALL!! iT TURNED OUT TO BE THE BEST FRIGGIN SETLIST OF HER CAREER!! And yet the same pattern just repeats and repeats...I honestly think everyone has a right to their opinion, but keep your disappointment and whining for AFTER the facts, I beg you please...

 

Okay, I'll go calm down now

 

Also, I'm excited to see her at the Billboards. Someone mentioned Steve Aoki, that would actually be ace.

[Javito]

I'm in the minority here but I can't wait to hear her sing MHWGO at an awards show again.

 

The general public still adore the song, and I am willing to bet she will steal the show with a new performance of it. I can feel the twitter love already.

 

Face it guys, she wouldn't be where she is today without it, so let her have her moment and pay tribute 20 years on! She's comfortable and knows what she can do with the song so she's gonna slay it ��

 

Yeah, possibly she may have forgotten the lyrics and has to take the LTAL booklet to learn the lyrics again?

 

She could freshen up the song with one of these mash-up versions at least:

 

Love Can Move Icebergs

Because Titanic Loved Me

It's Titanic Coming Back To Me Now. Again? Like again? (Yeah, yeah)

I'm Alive (But Jack Is Dead) (thanks John for that one)

Nothing Broken But My Ship

Ten Survivors

When The Wrong Boat Saves You Right

S.O.S. (Is The Saddest Word)

 

 

Seriously now, what more can they do with that song that hasn't been done already???

 

Once again, there was an advert on US television announcing that she will be doing a tribute to Titican for its 20th anniversary.

 

Omg Tititcan :mdr: That was a good one.

[Flymetothemoon]

My hopefull imagination: an intro video, related to the Titanic film & soundtrack; Celine briefly singing an Irish theme song, film inspired/MHWGO, which turns modern (hello, Steve Aoki; orchestra goes funky); visuals in the background, like the MET gala outfit teaser; her gown turns into a short dress & in comes an upbeat song, from her new album

19 days left...

[DionFanAlways]

Oops....

[Katie]

I can't get over people! Legacy! All she does is covers. Where is her pride and love for her own music?! etc etc

 

I'd prefer a new song debut, but if they're hopefully doing something big with the performance, it'll be epic. We should be proud of her, of the song, of the fact that people love her more and find her more credible, iconic than ever. And that's the legacy of MHWGO- without it, she'd be flipping burgers at a Wendy's

 

Well, Celine was the best selling artist in the world since 4 years prior to the Titanic song. She'd be with no doubt iconic without it, however, My Heart will go on, brought her to a level that probably a very few could reach...

You do understand what legend means, right? Legacy? As in body of work that has brought her to where she is?

[Javito]

Her legend status was paved WAY before Titanic 1997 arrived and as someone else already pointed out, her legend status would have arrived with or without this song too. Her career is much, much more and greater than Titanic song, you and we all know that. What has brought her to where she is is Titanic and a long wide list of several more achievements. I'm shocked you're just reducing her career to that one song now with your post, just like the general public out there does Ouch

 

If Celine herself reduced her legacy to this one particular song, a song which she didn't even like at first and didn't want to record, I don't know what else she would think about the rest of things she has done and achieved before and after Titanic

Of course she's had other achievements, but this is her signature song. It outperformed any other single in her discography. The impact it had on the WORLD is legendary in itself. "My Heart Will Go On" may not have been the song that put her on the map, but it certainly solidified her status, and made the statement that she was here to stay. Plenty of artists have won awards and received accolades and have had much of the same success that Celine had prior to "My Heart Will Go On." Plenty of artists have won Album Of The Year at The Grammys. I'm not so sure "Let's Talk About Love" would have sold as much as it did without MHWGO on the track list. "Falling Into You" only sold 1 million more copies than LTAL, making them pretty much equal in commercial success. Without MHWGO, "Falling Into You" would most likely have been Celine's peak. Because of this one song, her peak carried over into a second and equally successful album, an incredible tour, a high demand from the public...which curbed her break, which she wanted to take earlier than she did. Without MHWGO, we may not have gotten "These Are Special Times" or "That's The Way It Is" or dare I say it? "A New Day Has Come." She would have taken a break earlier, and maybe for longer than two years, and these other milestones may have never been a gleam in her eye. Her career now, would be very different without this song. "My Heart Will Go On" 100% sent her on the path to legend status.

He will never understand this. The concept of Celine being an oppressed singer, who is forced - and not happy - to sing MHWGO, comes in perfect line with the idea of Celine not being satisfied with Vegas. You are literally attempting to rationalize an individual who shamelessly lied that Rene forced/oppressed Celine to do the Vegas show. The relevant comments are still in the 2016 French Tour section. The alleged source of information still not revealed. And this mud was thrown after Rene had passed away.

 

I suggest we avoid further discussion... especially on days when the said person is on fire posting whiny comment after comment in this thread.

Edited May 2, 2017 at 10:47 PM by LukeD

[LukeD]

Much like TSMGO last year, a performance of MHWGO might be viewed as a symbol of strength, continuity and persistence, as the song takes a new dimension now that Rene is gone... And I think the general public will appreciate Celine even more! Especially if she delivers a good vocal performance (assuming the song will be live).

 

Honestly, I can only see praising coming! I am very positive about this!

[CelineDionFreak]

The more I think about it the more it is growing on me. I think they can totally do a big stage set and with a beautiful dress and smoke and big fans... it could be really good. I just wonder if it'll be only MHWGO or if she'll weave some others into it? Who knows! Edited May 2, 2017 at 10:57 PM by CelineDionFreak

[marc-02]

Oh come on. Guys, MHWGO becomes 20 yrs old only once, and it is this year. So lets give it to the song. Reserve ur "new single/other song" performances some other year or some other award show/TV appeaance later this year. Come on. Billboard Awards didnt even arrange a tribute performamce when, say, Bodyguard/I will always love you turned 20. Or when One Sweet Day turned 20... and these songs like MHWGO also broke records on Billboard. I'm more than excited to give it to the song just this time. If not this year, who knows... we probably have to wait until the 30th anniv or gold (50th) till MHWGO gets the fitting tribute it deserves.

And what if she brings the song in a really interesting way..maybe as in the video - on the bow of the titanic with a beautiful gown and of course her full orchestra:)
