Celine performs at Barclaycard presents BST Hyde Park concerts 2019

[nuts2you]

well remember they only rehearsed 1 day while in Vegas the last few days there,

[fred]

I am so praying Céline one day soon will find the same interest in music creativeness as she does in fashion (don't get me wrong I have nothing against her fashion experiments, not even her bun).

 

I am not sure why she goes on stage anymore... for the talking parts?

 

Ultimately, I am disappointed that Celine chose to just do the Vegas show. I know some people have accused her of being lazy lately and I would definitely accuse her of that for this show. I also attended Barbra’s show - she had 3 special guests with her that night with whom she sang duets and had a very creative and different set list. Celine didn’t even do her full slot - she was scheduled for 2 hours and 5 minutes and only did an hour and 40. Now, while I was there, I had a FANTASTIC time. Being with 65,000 people all singing along with Celine and Celine clearly having a great time and knocking out of the park vocally (plus, I got to hear her sing Think Twice live for the first time) all created a wonderful evening that I will cherish. Am definitely glad I went but when I compare it to what Barbra did two nights later, I feel as if Celine could’ve put more thought and planning into the show and made it more special. Not even singing The Prayer with Josh Groban - like how lazy do you have to be?

 

Please don’t take this as “Celine bashing” - as I said, while I was there, I throughly enjoyed myself. But am also still disappointed in the lack of specialness. The Millennium Concert, it wasn’t!

Was listening to "TR" from the London gig and just was watching again her last gig in LV,

something was bothering her, some issues with vocal chords

and the thought of singing live is taking tool on her.

With one ear she is for sure still not have it at its best yet.

 

This, added to her emotional status, making her less motivational about her musical career

also the fact, she has to use the playbacks, I think it makes her down since she feels dishonest

to her supporters. I don't care she uses it.

 

Really hope we will have her singing for many years to come, and with saying that

it won't be a surprise if music will become with each time less "important" for her

since Fashion and Ballet make her more Inspirational and that's lovely and who knows

what more she will find to do and to experiment with.

 

With this point of view everything just fit in. The one thing I'm most worried

is this ongoing lost of weight to the point she looks lifeless, with these sad looking eyes

Heck, I can't forget the photos of her in Paris, with the Pink dress, extremely macilent

it's haunting my mind. Hope she is taking now some good rest, and always wishes her good

and to find peace of mind.

 

It's for sure not easy to be in her shoes, from all aspects.

Can we stop saying bullshit ? She is working on her album, as never proposed that much live, as never proposed that much old hits live, new version, new interpretation.

Less ? The one or 2 weeks per year about fashion is really killing your ability to check facts.

Really, can't you say that you don't like this or that, but still, recognise that factually, she is proposing way more creativity in the way she is singing and what she is singing than for the last 15 years.

She was using heavier playback in 1997 than she was in 2016 and 2017 whilst sick with PET and still mourning her loss AND slayed whilst doing her “fashion shows” so... I really don’t understand

Hi there, just had to share it after people bashing her a lot for the playback thing.

I really understand her need of using playbacks

and have no problem of her doing it because she is a Human being.

I Just felt on times, when she uses it that makes her down for pretending

(knowing she is so perfectionist and dedicative with singing).

I find myself defending her many times on this matter.

I've wrote here wonderful things about her rendition of PQTME +live singing even if she has some vocal chords issues

so you just write for writing.

All the other things are plain sigth facts and If you actually really read what I write, there are many positive points as well.

[Matt96]

I’ve been looking back through all the videos I took (along with other people’s on YouTube) of the this day and it really was a great day. I wasn’t able to post the day of the show. Once I was near the stage, I had zero cell service. I, too, really enjoyed The Wandering Hearts - have been listening to their CD ever since I returned from London. Claire did a fantastic set and Josh was his usually crazy-ridiculous-good-voice self.

It’s clearly a choice though and not a necessity. She could easily sing BYLM for example live, she sings way more difficult songs live imo and also the climax to MHWGO, this can be handed over to the crowd, any time she feels like she may struggle. It worked so much better doing this in the 2017 tour, in my opinion.

 

I thought people were right when they said she didn’t want to ruin the big hits, the songs she’s known for but with the way she’s changing up some other songs recently, I don’t think this is the reason and whether we understand it or not, the bottom line is, it is dishonest and I think a bit insulting to those who pay to see her and pay the crazy ticket prices.

 

My biggest fear is one day this is gonna come out all over the media and to me this would ruin everything. You can’t tell me all these professional singers who go to her shows cannot spot a playback a mile off. It just takes someone to mention it in the press and bam!

 

I still love her unconditionally but I think my sister, who’s as big a fan as me, maybe wouldn’t be in such a hurry to travel up and down the country spending thousands to catch her live, if she knew the truth so I daren't ever say lol.

I was there too! That was my very first concert! It was amazing but If I think about it, they could have done somthing more..like different setlist..still loving it though

You cannot compare with Barbra. Can we tell how many show Celine created in the last 20 years ? I mean, created ? Barbra is almost retired and that's presumely all she had to concentrate on. Can we tell that since several month now they are creating again a new one wich is gonna be called courage ? This one was a one shot in between, can we just put it in context ? Of course this show was not creative at all, replaced in its context I think it's fair.

Really can understand it and sadly agreed, see for example Mariah C, she doesn't have a voice,

but she will go out there and sing live. Whitney on her worst nightmare shows

went out there and sang live. But Celine is "The Voice" one day this title

will be taken away from her, she doesn't want this to happen... then we have the playback thing.

 

By the way I've showed some of her videos to some unfan people, they couldn't know she uses playback.

I right away can know when she makes it, it too easy to notice lol. Indeed the big bucks for a show where half+ of it is not live

Well, after all she will have to find creative ways in order to sing most of the show live before this matter will be spoken again

in the media. One can't hold the stick from both sides.

 

For now I don't see a full live show happening because of the greatest hits.

I hope she will be singing most of the show live, so your sister will go with you and that you will have a great time

“Mariah C, she doesn't have a voice,

but she will go out there and sing live”..... im just gonna pretend i didnt see Mariah C and sing live in the same sentence lol

[manu23]

Mariah sings live much less than Celine, all the difficult parts of the songs are lipped. Everyone uses playback, from Celine to Beyonce. Some artist like Britney Spears haven't sang a live note in more than 10 years and still have a career. As you said, with Celine most people won't even realize it is playback.

My English is not understable?

Mariah doesn't sounds great as she used to be in the past, but she sings live from what I've checked.

Mariah Carey is known for being one of the artist that lip the most and uses the best technic to incorporate it in her "live". Just saying.

It looks like she made some efforts for her last tour though.

1) Mariah lips a lot

2) Pls count all the songs that Celine sings and then count how many of those she lips. Show me this "half+" lipped.

[AdrienneM]

She lip syncs every single climax of every song and virtually every whistle and has had multiple lip sync scandals, i love her, but lip sync is her middle name. Compared to Celine, in their recent set lists, Celine has lipped elements in 6 out of 20 songs. Mariah has lip sync elements in 14 out of 17 songs

MC plenty playback incidents are very known here, she even didn't try to hide it.

Celine's playback thing isn't known here, not by general public, at least not yet lol.

I understand that in some countries it's a norm to use playbacks but just saying

if Celine will give in my country a gig and use playback the media will go very hard at her. I'm afraid to even think about it.

I'm not following MC, really didn't know the playback thing there it's that bad!

I have no words, what a fraud.

 

If celine would have less shows and here and there change of key

I'm sure she can make whole live concert:)

Céline, the legend, is indeed an inspiration, for generations to come.

As a singer, as a performer, as a good human being.

Thanks for sharing.

I still believe its that she doesnt want to ruin the big hits in a way. Its not that she doesnt want to do her changes and riffs and runs and her new versions of songs, for me, its much more the fact that all her big hits have big notes, which are famous and shes known for. All it would take is for one concert with the power of the internet, where she would absolutely flub all the big notes due to poor vocal condition, it would spread and then shed be vilified like Mariah has been for her vocal fails. I still think shes very concious about her voice, how shes changed vocally and that shes worried about the chance that she wont be able to replicate the studio versions anymore, which would no doubt disappoint her audience, basically her worst nightmare. At least thats how i interpret it, im interested to see others opinions on this though

I watched this the other day - it’s really well done! Even as lazy and disappointed as I was with the set list, I still had an amazing time that day. This video helped me remember why.

It was a great day! I’ve just noticed watching a bit of this that both Elise and Dawn were also wearing sunglasses, and did for the first 30 mins or so. I did not notice that on the night, I was convinced Celine only did it for the opening song purely for laughs but it would appear not haha.

I'm glad to know:) it's a great video and we "get" to see her closer, she is such an amazing show-woman.

As for the setlist, she sure thought to herself, why to bother if new Tour is right on the corner.

Tickets are so expensive... I can't understand it, really.

 

Anyway she is for sure preparing new amazing Tour,

she won't dare in my opinion to do the same LV setlist.

[scielle]

So were any of you there on Jul 6th?

If so, did you see Faouzia open for Babs?

No?

You should have! Because every few days she posts something that makes me go

Seriously, if she didn't have, you know, an engineering degree to finish I'd be all over Team Celine to book her as opening act.

OK, sorry, I know I've posted about her way too much in the past. But seriously, what talent (And trilingual! And plays several instruments! And writes great songs!)

 

Back to regularly scheduled Celine programming.
