Shaun Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:16 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:16 PM Shaun she did sing all her own songs.... are your referring to the medley at the end? The section she clearly loves and is hardly most of the show? It speaks wonders when someone said people went for a toilet break when she sang lying down... she is singing songs that majority of people will be engaged with. That’s what makes a successful tour... I really want to see Madonna live but looking at her set list I won’t be going... I don’t know many of the songs and can’t stand her new album. Now if she did more songs i know and enjoy, I might just go. We can’t have everything... some tweeks would nice but all in all the show is pretty incredible. The production is better than we have seen since TCWT. I respect your opinion btw, I just have my own The English show might just be what you are waiting for Kev x Kev x No hard feelings whatsoever Kev, I completely respect your opinion.

symon Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:16 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:16 PM People are so negative here... Québec audience did not hear a lot of the songs sung yesterday for a long time (regarde moi, i m Alive...). Remember celine live 2017 did not stop there. 5 Quote
CelinesDIVO5 Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:18 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:18 PM I have to say I think it's quite poor that people (myself included) who are disappointed that the show contains covers - both old and new ones - are being labelled as moaners or complainers. Isn't anyone allowed an opinion around here anymore? I am not having a go at anyone if they love "You're The Voice", "Kiss", "Lady Marmalade", "Let's Dance" or "Another One Bites The Dust" so to be quite honest I'd expect the same respect back when I say that, for me, they have no place in the show. Nobody is right or wrong! By comparison Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Madonna have a combined total of ZERO covers in their recent shows. Their set lists contain a total of 79 songs and all 79 are their own songs. Do you reckon any of their fans are leaving the concerts thinking "I really wish she'd done a Queen song tonight" or "It is SO poor that she only sings her own songs!" If you like the very limited concert time being taken up by covers that's fair enough, I respect that. But please, have some respect for those who aren't in love with all the covers too. I'm a massive fan of Celine. All I want is to hear her sing her own songs. I don't see what's so wrong with that but, again, if you feel differently then fair enough. Not you in particular. Just the select few who have been bítching about this entire era before it even started. 3 Quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL54qnRGM2gMatthew Charles - "Fix You" - Live at The Stonewall InnStonewall Sensation - Season 15Originally written and performed by Coldplay
AdrienneM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:28 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:28 PM People are so negative here... Québec audience did not hear a lot of the songs sung yesterday for a long time (regarde moi, i m Alive...). Remember celine live 2017 did not stop there. Very true, 9 of the songs she performed Quebec audiences have either not heard in over a decade or ever, again, not everyone religiously follows her every breath like we do. A chunk of the people there probably had zero clue what Regarde Moi was, and that was on Deux!! 1 Quote
Xpresso Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:29 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:29 PM First, we heard how terrible it was that no new songs or album had been released before the tour started. And then BANG! 3 new songs in ONE day! So Celine shut them up!!Now, this is the French leg of the tour, and again I'm sure there will be another BANG with some new English songs along the way. I personally don't care about these covers she does (and there are too many) as she could do some of her older gems instead. But she did do Terre, A vous, Tous les blues... so those were surprises.And from surveys done with French-speaking people, two of the favorites French songs are L'amour existe encore, and S'il suffisait d'aimer - which she sang last night!So the French public was certainly happy with those. Yes, there is room for improvement. Once again, chill. It will come. And she looked amazing and that ballet video is outstanding. 2 Quote
guigafs15 Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:33 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:33 PM Celine sang those songs cause she likes it, that's it. She's in a point in her life and career that is not just about pleasing fans anymore. She wants to have fun with it too. And you can see that she really enjoyed herself singing it. 2 Quote
Shaun Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:34 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:34 PM Like I said last night (or more accurately very early this morning ) I thought the choice of French songs was excellent. 2 from her most recent French release including her most recent French #1 in Quebec plus a cross section of classics from across her repertoire. Fantastic to hear S'il Suffisait D'aimer again. 1 Quote Bringing you the world's only Celine Dion podcast show since 2014.Find us on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts, Spotify & Amazon Music.

Ukrfan Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:44 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 04:44 PM (edited) I have very mixed feelings about this tour now. Positive things1. The stage is not as terrible as I thought it would be. It does not feel "cheap" as it did during the Summer Tours. In fact, I loved the visuals (the MHWGO interlude underwater is everything! So beautiful! :wub: And they used those little bastards with lights ). However, I did not really like that during some songs there was nothing on the screens. For example, I missed visuals for SSD, ABM, and Lying Down.2. Celine looks great. Love her hairstyle! It is fresh and suits her perfectly. Her outfits were either great for me (the dress for MHWGO, that "office-lady" suit, the red one) or simply okay. Nothing too much. The white gown was a million times better than that black trash bag she used in one of her summer tours.Negative things1. The setlist is a disaster. I don't understand how a singer with f****** 27 ALBUMS cannot find the right songs in her own repertoir. I mean, I would prefer her singing LCMM than YTV of that unknown australian singer. I don't mind her singing I'm Alive or other hits. It's cool she included Tous Les Blues , I adore this song it works for both French and English legs.2. Celine is lazy in singing. Okay, I am not one of those who is crazy about live singing. It is the opposite: if you can't sing it live, use a playback or double. BUT PLEASE CREATE A NEW PLAYBACK. Using MHWGO playback from 2011 is a joke . I don't mind miming the ending, I understand it is hard for her to sing her live. But didn't she really have time to record new playbacks? And I agree with many members that FOMO sounded mediocre at best .3. I miss dancers. C'mon, even four dancers would be a big improvement for the show. Overall, I think my favorite performance was Encore Un Soir. Beautiful singning and marvelous visuals. Edited September 19, 2019 at 04:54 PM by Ukrfan 3 Quote

Fantastic to hear S'il Suffisait D'aimer again. They take for granted how many people also have seen her before live in Vegas or previous summer tours...again the setlist was laziness, safe and very non artistic. After a opening night of the tour and we are talking about videos interludes being the highlight and something’s terribly wrong about that sentiment. Quote

cdfan32 Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:36 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:36 PM 1. The setlist is a disaster. I don't understand how a singer with f****** 27 ALBUMS cannot find the right songs in her own repertoir. I mean, I would prefer her singing LCMM than YTV of that unknown australian singer. I don't mind her singing I'm Alive or other hits. It's cool she included Tous Les Blues , I adore this song it works for both French and English legs. It's this exactly. Celine has more original songs in both English and French than any other major artist and yet she can't seem to stand to sing her own songs, whether it's the same hits, deep cuts, or not. It just boggles my mind. Perhaps it's because she didn't write any of them and feels no connection to them personally unlike other artists who are also songwriters like Madonna and Mariah, but what the fans want is her voice on her own songs. While when I was younger, I would have happily listened to her sing the phone book, unfortunately that just isn't the case any more after she's spent the last decade literally singing the phone book and ignoring her amazing back catalogue that artists today would die for. 2 Quote
Javito Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:37 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:37 PM (edited) 1) The same right of those saying the 99% of general public wants to hear the hits and the remaining 1% of hardcore fans have no right to demand more rare songs, I haven't seen yet anybody in the general public demanding Celine to include such random amount of covers, and we keep seeing them in her shows Nobody is demanding to see her sing You Are The Voice nor Prince nor David Bowie. I grant Celine does apparently enjoy including covers all the time, BUT she has to remind herself she's there to please the audience before herself or anything else, and if she's only there to sing what she wants and do what she wants and not to please the audience, maybe the time to do something else has come. The audience is not paying for a karaoke section of popular songs, the audience is paying to hear the songs included in her CDs. This has been like this since the Earth is Earth. But Celine keeps ignoring this. She said she got her team listening through her full discography until 3am and they discovered true gems and they would include surprises; well where are them? Because it didn't show up at all last night. And the French audience has the same right to have a renewed setlist, equally as the English shows. Not because it's French they have to do it the safe and lazy way and do the same thing once again. If she has a particular connection with You Are The Voice, Prince or David Bowie, she can always sing those songs at home with her brothers and sisters, but not when you have 27 albums and full of songs that are great and have never been performed yet. The contrary is a waste of time and talent. Period Many songs won't even sound the same as in the original albums if she were to perform them today, in 2019. Her voice is changing fast now, and she's even lowering the key of some songs. So why the need to waste so much time performing those random covers that nobody is asking for, when you have the chance to shine with your own material? It doesn't make any sense. And she's wasting her voice and her talent. Since decades ago in Vegas it's been this same problem. I thought this would change now, free of contractual bonds, free of imposed views. But with last night's show, it's getting even worse now. 2) There are some safe songs to return to the English setlist: Because You Loved MeThat's The Way It Is and maybe: Love Can Move Mountains (probably, unfortunately)I Drove All NightTaking Chances That leaves space for 6 more songs. I expect she will sing at least a couple more songs from the new album, since this is the "Courage" world tour, so make 5 songs from Courage at most. That leaves 4 songs to be surprised, which isn't really much considering how many albums, tours and years she's been doing this and repeating the same 80% of the show time and again, tour after tour. 3) That said, I do really hope the English show will quench in some ways the thirst we have for seeing something REALLY new and different, but besides the 4-5 songs I expect from the new album, I highly doubt there's place for surprises, judging by what she's done with the French show. Yes, the acid test will come with the English shows, no doubt, but yet we have all the right to share an opinion here. This is a forum, not the adulator parlour. No fan that I know of has EVER asked for or wanted a setlist with half covers that aren't even good or songs that people want to pay to hear. I'm not looking for karaoke night. Amen. I have to say I think it's quite poor that people (myself included) who are disappointed that the show contains covers - both old and new ones - are being labelled as moaners or complainers. Isn't anyone allowed an opinion around here anymore? I am not having a go at anyone if they love "You're The Voice", "Kiss", "Lady Marmalade", "Let's Dance" or "Another One Bites The Dust" so to be quite honest I'd expect the same respect back when I say that, for me, they have no place in the show.

I personally don't care about these covers she does (and there are too many) as she could do some of her older gems instead. But she did do Terre, A vous, Tous les blues... so those were surprises. Excuse me, but she's been singing Terre nonstop since 1999 in ALL her French shows (same as Dans un autre monde). She's been singing Terre in 1999, 2008, 2013, 2016 and 2017. A vous was performed already in the 2016 and 2017 tours, so it's not a surprise, nor a song that she has never performed before. Same for Tous les blues, already performed in the 2016 tour. A surprise would have been if she had performed Attendre or Si je n'ai rien de toi or Avec toi or Oxygene or Contre nature, but not songs she has performed and very recently. I think I have a very different concept of what "surprises" are Edited September 19, 2019 at 06:02 PM by Javito 4 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"
GoldenLeaf Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:53 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:53 PM (edited) Quit y'all bitching. So this happened. Celine was so gracious tonight after the show. She stopped the car for about 15 minutes and signed and took pictures for about everyone. She told me she likes my sweatshirt. I said that i love her and traveled all the way from Indiana and i loved it. She said thankyou for coming. It wasn't my best photo but hey she looked fantastic and I'm not complaining.I wanted to make a joke about being the same age as LCMM which got dropped for first time in my life, but figured that small bit may be enough to revive it and people wouldn't be happy with me lol. The show First, i love that this for me was an unspoiled setlist. Ive now seen six setlists. All six were within the first three shows for each "setlist"..." closest i ever came to being unspoiled before was in bordeaux where i only knew the first two songs. Didn't even know that here. Tonight i was unaware of anything and i am glad i came just for that. The visuals in person do definitely add some perception to the performances. I wouldn't say its the best I've seen at any show (in general), but for celine the visuals were a step up from anything relating to her previous shows. Whether it was celine appearing in front of a backdrop to add to the song (like EUS) or the multiple interludes, overall visuals were good. I am glad the interludes were done like this rather than giving barnev a song. iacbtmn was an interesting choice to open with. The unison tease to start had me more excited than iacbtmn!! In recent years quebec shows seen 80% french which was great. I think the english headlining tour caused a slight conflict on not knowing the best balance of english vs french, but i think this was a good balance.Everyone complaining needs to remember the setlist will change several songs come cleveland. Hopefully by time the rest of the predictables are placed there is still room for a classic longly untouched gem or two. Highlights: a vous, regarde moi, tous les blues sont ecrits pour toi, the interludes, and the new covers.Lowlights- you're the voice and kiss. No "opportunity" to sometimes let fans sing mhwgo ending.. *cough* please go back to live on this ending. Also, i just want to say I've thought many times about what it would sound like for celine to sing another one bites the dust. I am happy it sounded as great as i anticipated. So my trip here is very short and i head home tomorrow. Very glad i came. It was nice to talk to several of you after the show too! Also i got several videos of full songs but connection here is too slow to upload tonight. Will be tomorrow.Agreed! Couldn’t have said it better myself, personally I would have simply replaced YTV with the full version of FOMO, Ziggy with Tout L’Or Des Hommes (this song was never performed in Quebec and it was a way bigger hit than Ziggy here) and I would have replaced the existing uptempo medley by a medley of Celine’ songs such as Unison/Des Mots Qui Sonnent/Everybodys Talking My Baby Down/Declaration of Love. BTW, where did Celine stop the car for 15 minutes? Was it where there was two white limousines parked outside of the Centre Videotron? I was outside after the show but unfortunately I didn’t see her car. Edited September 19, 2019 at 05:54 PM by GoldenLeaf 1 Quote
AdrienneM Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:54 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:54 PM I mean... in the ENTIRE show, theres one full cover and theres a few songs in a medley which add up to roughly 8-ish minutes. So out of 1 hour and 25 minutes of pure singing (no interludes or talking counted), there is roughly 12 -ish minutes of covers, 1 hour 13 mins of her own songs/ recorded covers. Thats not even near the level of covers of AND or Celine (2011-2014)... the level of overreacting is seriously crazy 4 Quote
Alex_Incognito Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:56 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 05:56 PM In terms of creativity, the show gets a 1/10. Opening with "IACBTMN" was epic and set us up for something new and refreshing! Then - BAM - same old stuff all over again. That said - I'm sure to those that were there - that the show was extremely enjoyable. Though she seems to be very careful with how she hit certain notes which bothers me. I usually find the Franco setlists to be the best - I hope this time I feel that was about the anglo shows. 7 Quote "People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."- Céline Dion, 1990

tomier Posted September 19, 2019 at 06:36 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 06:36 PM Entitlement. It's quite sad sometimes. No one is ever going to be happy completely. We are all going to have our own personal favorites, wants for the album's and set lists. But demanding anything is just sad and entitlement. No one has ever said you can't be negative or critical at all either. It's just about a balance. Same goes for anyone who is just 100% positive and not genuine. This is why I don't post unless something is exciting like these beautiful new songs. The entitlement and whining and inevitable back and forth fighting is childish too. Plus she has how many great songs classics and newer, it would be impossible to please everyone. It is not your "right" to demand anything. Courage and imperfections were both amazing for me. I'm not a fan of lying down although I don't think it's bad and she sounds good. Sounds like sia, and I don't really like her songs all that much other than Chandelier. Too many high notes and yelling. Why I don't typically like Demi Lovato either lol. 2 Quote

manu23 Posted September 19, 2019 at 06:54 PM Posted September 19, 2019 at 06:54 PM Nobody is demanding to see her sing You Are The Voice nor Prince nor David Bowie. I grant Celine does apparently enjoy including covers all the time, BUT she has to remind herself she's there to please the audience before herself or anything else, and if she's only there to sing what she wants and do what she wants and not to please the audience, maybe the time to do something else has come. The audience is not paying for a karaoke section of popular songs, the audience is paying to hear the songs included in her CDs. This is your opinion, not facts. Celine puts out a product (concert) you are free to buy it or not. How do you measure if the audience is pleased? In 2019 alone Celine has sold out 99% of the tickets she has put in the market. Are those the numbers of someone that doesn’t please her audience? I don’t think so. You can fool someone once but not twice, if people weren’t happy with Celine concerts it would be known by the public. How can someone that doesn’t please her audience sell out all her UK dates in 2017 and two years after sell 70K tickets in Hyde Park? How can an artist that doesn’t please her audience increase the price of her tickets year after year and still sell out? You just had to go on social media after the Hyde Park for instance to see if people were pleased. You are entitled to your opinion, but don’t present it here as a general opinion because the numbers and reviews prove the contrary. 4 Quote
Popular Post LukeD Posted September 19, 2019 at 07:10 PM Popular Post Posted September 19, 2019 at 07:10 PM (edited) I am not even feeling negative for having negative (pun intended) things to say about this set-list. I will not focus on which songs I like or dislike. Cause that is subjective. I will simply say that I was very rationally expecting the Courage World Tour set-list to either be built around songs from the supporting album or to simply feature more songs in a more stand-out manner. I understand the album has not been released yet, so the first option is difficult at this stage. We could have still enjoyed live performances of say 4 or 5 new songs though. And these songs could be coming earlier in the show. Instead, we received 2 full songs after the middle of the show and part of another. So, objectively the set-list does not stand up to - very rational I think - expectations. Could be down to lack of creativity, could be down to fear of taking risks... Who knows! Prince, and David Bowie covers though? A big no from me. Would not even attend this show. IMO just include 5 new songs, 5 English hits, 5 French hits, 2 medleys, 2 rarely-performed songs, 1 cover and everyone should be happy. Easy. My two cents.

Look around friend; people who usually never criticize a setlist or show are complaining about the lack of creativity of yesterday’s show. I would hardly say I’m “trashing” everything she does. For the money they charge and branding of this show to be showing “courage”; it simply was misleading. If they would have named the show, “Celine, live 2019” I would almost understand...
