Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[manu23]

It's clear now there won't be changes for the US part. Let's see if they think the European audience is more open to embrace the new songs. For me the most important is her voice, hopefully she is top form in summer. I thought she sounded so so the other night, but is expected after a long break.

[Celine Fan 77]

I wouldn't get my hopes too up about the show radically changing for Europe. Apparently, the fact that people attend these concerts seems to be enough for them to think that the fans like it the way it is.

IMO you need to watch the TCWT DVD again. She magically incorporated various musical styles in an amazing show. The Prayer was there. Fade Away was there. Eyes On Me was there. Her catalog hits were there. Iconic covers were there. Everyone was happy. This turned out to be her most successful album tour ever.

 

Imo the TCWT covers were worse, the 2008 arrangement of TSMGO wasnt that great, We Will Rock You was incredibly cringy and always fell flat, and I’d rather hear her sing Youre The Voice than scream her way through James Brown songs... funny that the tour back then was panned by almost all critics and yet this one has received flawless reviews, many even complimenting the “balance” between the new songs and oldies, that its “just right”.... just something interesting ive noticed

Tcwt was my very first concert and she incorporated more than enough songs from that album, as I expected. Loved the show!

People saying "I'm done with Celine" since the tour started but, almost 4 months later, they're all still here (repeating the same thing over and over) lol.

 

Let's face it: the tour it's the only thing doing (very) well in Celine's career. They will not change it because of a bunch of people in a fan forum.

 

All that we asked before (a new album, new pop/radio-friendly songs, a 20 songs tracklist, music videos...) turn out to be a huge failure, commercially.

 

There's no reason for them to listen to the fans.

I wouldn’t call a #1 album a huge failure. But the reason why this album had no longevity is because it’s promotion was handled as poorly as never before in her entire career, which was a massive mistake since she got people’s attention now and it’s one of her best albums ever.

4 or 5 songs max every night. Also, as it is with Imperfections now, lack lustre arrangements and boring vocals. Granted, still 2-3 more songs than she does now. Playback was also far higher back then, 8 or 9 songs per night had lipped moments

Yes would she add 2 or 3 more songs then it is much better. There is too much old and not much new or never been sung songs (excluding covers)

 

 

No there were more in the Amsterdam setlist;

Taking chances

Shadow of love

Fade away

Eyes on me

my love

alone - her album version, a cover but from that album

Maybe they’re waiting for us to finish the SURVIVOR here so they can decide what songs to add

[couldawouldashoulda]

I know some people hate reading set lists but others don’t mind. I made this for myself in iTunes to mimic the tour set list which it makes it pretty realistic. (Trying to keep the Courage choices to songs she should actually be able to pull off live.) They’d just have to cut the giant medley which I know will ever happen. (PS I love the tour in its current form - seen it twice and will be seeing it 3 more times in NYC. Just playing around with how to possibly add more Courage songs. )

 

1) It’s All Coming Back To Me Now

2) That’s The Way It is

3) Flying On My Own (even though I think she’s decided she can’t sing it live and doesn’t want to lip it)

4) Nothing Broken But My Heart

5) I’m Alive

6) The Power of Love

 

7) Imperfection

8) Beauty and the Beast

9) For The Lover That I Lost

10) Tour Les Blues Sont Ecrit Por Toi

11) To Love You More

12) Courage

 

13) All By Myself

14) Lying Down

15) The Chase

16) Because You Loved Me

 

17) I Drove All Night

18) River Deep Mountain High

19) Ashes

 

20) My Heart Will Go On

21) Falling In Love Again

 

[weasley123]

Sorry but... when did she promise an extraordinary concert? All she said is that she hoped her fans enjoyed the show. And because she doesnt sing songs you cant listen to them? Guess you cant listen to her deep cuts either then. And yeah, performing pre-recorded songs for high prices.... like every single legend does and has the right to

 

I remember before Courage World Tour begun, she said the concert will be special, the stage will be special, that they dig her discography and find gems to perform like never before. Then, bam! What we got is Greatest Hits Tour/Vegas On Road. Taking Chances and Loved Me Back To Life completely ignored. Ashes, her biggest hit in years, completely ignored. Why is it so difficult for her to sing songs from Courage in Courage World Tour? Furthermore, why bother call it Courage World Tour when there are only 2 songs from Courage performed? 2 from 20’s songs in setlist!

[fred]

On Spotify she has both TLBSEPT and SSDA for some reason. I hope she doesn't replace TLB with SSDA before Stockholm (even though I love that song too, but TLB is more special and "rare" for me).

 

What I think is sad is that they replaced TLBSEPT with SSDA (at least on Apple Music)

... you know, since that album (as well as D'eux & 1F4T) isn't available for streaming there, but the title songwhich appears on the On Ne Change Pas albumis..

Like, whoever was making the playlist was like "Oh, they don't have TLB. Hmmm.. well no one will notice, so this French song will do."

[fred]

Wouldn't it be nice if Céline did What A Feeling instead of Lady Marmalade?

 

As the writer mentioned Irene Cara I came to think about it. It woud really lift that medley since I can't stand anyone (not even Céline) covering that pointless oversung Lady Marmalade. I mean since we can't hope for her to sing her own rare or new songs, the chances are higher she'd sing a new cover, and since she seems to be fond of singing songs she has already done before, then What A Feeling would fit that (and perhaps add some party energy).

 

Nice piece from Nashville Scene; https://www.nashvill...bout-cline-dion

[fred]

I don't think the tour would had done worse if it had a setlist (and musical arrangements) that would be seen as creative and inspiring by the devoted fans that has been following her forever....

 

I don't think the casual fans buying the tickets go like "well before I buy my ticket I must check out if the Courage tour has as little Courage tracks as possible, a large amount of covers and old sounding arrangements or else I won't go".

 

[...]

Let's face it: the tour it's the only thing doing (very) well in Celine's career. They will not change it because of a bunch of people in a fan forum.

I guess it is because TLBSEPT is included on the english setlist while SSDA is on the french setlist, also makes me think that in Europe she will sing SSDA instead of TLB

[fred]

I strongly agree.

 

It is so sad. Her current approach is one she can have when she's like 80, and is now too early to put into practise. She still got her voice and superb technique (well when she doens't sing Lying Down and such), it would be marvellous if she used to for something more artistic.

 

[...] I just can't help but be fascinated by her talent when she pushes herself into unknown territory and different songs. She loves auto-pilot and I can't blame her for that but it's not an exciting time to be a real fan that follows her and knows the magic she can create with her talent and gifted voice

If you guys will have a chance to have a meet and greet with céline. Please ask her if she will go to asia/asia pacific. Thank you in advance Edited January 10, 2020 at 06:02 PM by jpatdeleon09

[LukeD]

The irony is that the American public would easily consume songs like Falling In Love Again & For The Lover That I Lost. They love Celine for her ballads. Edited January 10, 2020 at 06:42 PM by LukeD

Céline confirmed she was returning to Australia in the 'A current affair' interview, didn't she? So I do believe we'll see an Asian Pacific leg as well.

Yes! That statement about digging deep in her discography plus having a new album immediately triggered me to buy tickets! But no digging deep at all and not much new either..

Celine is "so proud of her album" (Yeah, we can sure see that!)

 

After it came out, all she did was to go and film a stupid commercial, ridiculing one of her biggest masterpieces

and STILL chose to give 0 promotion to "Courage", that just shows how much she cares about her music career.

For the last months I'm not even checking her official accounts aymore, since she doesn't even think to give us

something special, that has to do with the new album she "is so proud of". I've stop waiting for something to happen.

 

Even if Sony doesn't have a budget, she still could/can make a live facebook event, and to sing just 4 new songs

from the album, but she doesn't care, she simply mocks her fans at this stage. And look at this board, does it even look like she has a new album out there, and people can't hold their enthusiasm? I can see none of it, what I could see, sadly, was the news about her new album, "breaking a record" by falling to a #111 spot and they never bother to talk

about her music here, but this one was published on a world-wide scale given her status! I felt sad for that, and couldn't believe my eyes she will flop so bad in the USA, when her album has some good gems in it with high quailty, and not the garbage that tops the charts. I'm sure all of that won't go under Sony's radar when it comes to producing a new album.

 

At the moment she frauds her own loyal fans when not singing more than 2 new songs on the Tour, those fans that fail to see that simple truth it's behind me, but I won't bother anymore to explain it. Only in Celine world a not-related medely of Covers can be consider as "something special" and she insist not singing her own new songs. Such a shame and disrespect toward so many fans in Canada and the US giving them the same LV on wheels Tour, does their money worth SXXX in Celine's eyes? It sure seems so.

 

Honestly at this stage I don't really care anymore what she does or not, I've just had to respond to some posts by fans that lost connection to reality for good. It's just sad watching what Celine turned to be. Let me know once Celine the artist decided to come back. Chao.

So so so so truth and I suggest to send this to her because this is the reality! And anyone in here who still likes to defend her - this post is the best I have read here so far and pretty much sums up everything going on!

Sometimes i think to myself i can't believe I've seen seven shows on this tour.

 

Okay. Well miami next week will be #7 and honestly if it weren't for being front row im not sure I'd even care, and i hate to say that.

 

The first show was a mixed setlist and besides the medley it was all very expected. I met her after so that is a major plus lol

 

Cleveland and Columbus i was first and third rows. So naturally i was thrilled!! I knew the medley would stick around and after the basics their wasn't room for much. I had a hope they would make TLBSEPT the french song. Iyamt was a true surprise. I was shaking. The reason was great. I was happy to see that again. Lying down was nice live. Other than that, nothing to cream the jeans for, and nothing like the emotions i felt in 2015-2017 shows.

 

Louisville featured the reason being dropped the first time. And i was pissed. I somewhat committed to many shows before the setlist sucked, but i chose to skip out on cincinnati and st Louis in frustration.

 

By time indy and Chicago rolled around she had dropped lying down for imperfections and simply changed the setlist order around a bit.

 

Overall just a disappointing tour. Too bad i couldnt have seen live 2016 or 2017 seven times lol

 

I do not understand why celine is so uninspired by her own music.

 

Aside from mhwgo, bylm, batb, the prayer, tlym, ttwii, IA, courage, and imperfections all the songs are covers. So 9 true originals all show. Lol lame!!

 

Can't the fact that most her hits are covers as well as her random album covers be enough??

 

And if she likes to cover so much why do we not see her on shows like live lounge where covers are a regular thing?

 

The promotion has been non existant. Personally beyond the initial release its just hard to continue being excited about the album when celine herself really isn't.

[SuperLove4Celine]

She can still sing ALL her classics and add songs from Courage to the tour. Here:

 

Classics in United States

 

1.Where Does My Heart Beat Now

2.Beauty And The Beast

3.If You Asked Me To

4.Love Can Move Mountains

5.The Power Of Love

6.Because You Loved Me

7.It's All Coming Back To Me Now

8.All By Myself

9.My Heart Will Go On

10.To Love You More

11.That's The Way It Is

12.A New Day Has Come

13.I'm Alive

14.I Drove All Night

 

She could ABSOLUTELY add 6 songs from Courage for a set-list of 20. She wants to sing a cover? Fine! She could sing 5 songs from Courage! But only 2? Ridiculous. Sorry.

 

You could probably add “Nothing Broken But My Heart” and “Misled” to that list, too. The former still gets played from time to time, and the latter was her first #1 Dance hit.

I've tried to write about it on her Facebook group, regarding the Courage Tour, but if you remember,

they went and deleted my post after short time, while leaving all the other posts that mentioned her Tour.

I wrote something like this: "I think it's insanse

she is not even respecting some artists who helped her producing Courage

when not performing some new songs on her Tour.

No one asked her to sing the entire album, but some, let's say 5.

 

I'm sure they will delete any post that will mention the thing about the artists who worked with her

and her disrespecting even them.

 

I wish she will be surrounded, once again, by decent people, since something wrong has been going on

and for long time now.

Best.
