Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[browseceline]

I just posted this in the Spotify thread. I’m including it here, too, due to its subject matter.

 

—————

 

I did a very rough crunching of numbers based solely off of her YouTube views. So, this does not include other streaming platforms such as: Amazon Music, Spotify, etc. These are the Top 20 I come up with (in no particular order) :

 

1. I’m Alive

2. All By Myself

3. It’s All Coming Back To Me Now

4. Because You Loved Me

5. The Power Of Love

6. I Drove All Night

7. Je sais pas

8. Pour que tu m’aimes encore

9. Ashes

10. How Does A Moment Last Forever

11. My Heart Will Go On

12. Encore un soir

13. Beauty And The Beast

14. Loved Me Back To Life

15. Parler a mon pere

16. Think Twice

17. A New Day Has Come

18. I Surrender

19. That’s The Way It Is

20. Immortality

 

I think that would make a pretty darn good concert. It would include hits from both her Anglo and Francophone careers into one show. It would also cause fan favorite hits to return such as: “A New Day Has Come” and “Je sais pas.”

 

Other “honorable mentions” (due to their streaming numbers) which could be considered “alternates” during the tour’s run could include some of the following:

 

1. Alone

2. Goodbye’s (The Saddest Word)

3. Taking Chances

4. Have You Ever Been In Love

5. Where Does My Heart Beat Now

6. Imperfections

7. To Love You More

8. On ne change pas

9. Incredible

10. Falling Into You

11. If You Asked Me To

12. My Love

 

What is surprising to me is songs such as “Love Can Move Mountains” and “River Deep, Mountain High” don’t even come close to the numbers the above mentioned get. At least not on YouTube. Even “Then You Look At Me” and “Somebody Loves Somebody” have them both beat by a mile.

 

I hope she and her team will look at these numbers for when the “Courage World Tour” starts back up. “You’re The Voice” and the damn covers medley could both be retired, if not severely overhauled to include some of the songs above.

Nice list but where are courage songs...

I want this kind of orchestra. it sounded so so rich. How to make the live orchestra to sound as rich as this?

“Imperfections” is part of the “Honorable Mentions” list. It could easily replace one of the French numbers in the Anglo markets. I’d probably put it in place of “Je sais pas.”

[nuts2you]

when do you think they will begin to rehearse for the tour again

[couldawouldashoulda]

Probably late February

Imperfections... Many more songs on this album and i have to say imperfections was not made for singing live. Hope the hard way will have its chance to shine

Not even in the setlist now so who cares

 

This setlist made of the numbers is actually much more exciting than what they made up now

Dutch article about the new Dutch concertdates of Celine DIon. But somehow all these newspapers always like to pick her worst pictures! Come on, there are so many beautiful pics of her, yet they had to pick this one?

Well, if we go by the numbers (YouTube), then these would be the Top 5 (her number) to choose from for the continuation of the tour:

 

1. Imperfections

2. Flying On My Own

3. Courage

4. Lying Down

5. Falling In Love Again/Lovers Never Die (virtually a tie)

 

So, if she were to add anything from “Courage” into the tour, it’s clear “Falling In Love Again” and/or “Lovers Never Die” are the two to choose.

Loved this. Thanks for sharing!

 

Always nice to hear fellow musicians talk about their huge respect for her.

Tickets are being released for the Paris shows (from people who claimed the refund I guess).

Just bought a very nice lower-tier seat for the first show.

I originally only booked tickets for two of the later Paris shows, but since it's become 'opening night' I just need to be there lol.

Also super excited to be attending her birthday show in Antwerp from the 2nd row.

 

Finally something to get excited about again

I am not sure if I am grateful to you for pointing this out or not! But I am now the proud owner of 2 quite decent tickets for the show on 27 March 2021. It's going to be a busy month with Dublin and Birmingham as well.

Which vendor did you use? TM.fr doesn't show any available seats and FNAC only has nosebleeds and only for a couple of nights. I'm sure more will show up bit by bit as more people cancel, but I'm impatient (plus I can only go on one night). Thanks!

[nuts2you]

I wonder if she will have an Opening ACT ,,or just keep it the same as Normal with the dance cam

I’m sure there will continue to be no opening act. An opening act costs money and the touring company seems to be raking in as much money as they can from this tour. I expect no change to anything other than Celine trying out new clothes or hair.

I used the one her official website links to (ticketnet/tm.fr)

I guess it's mostly luck though. No way of knowing if/which seats will become available and when. All depends on who cancels their ticket and when it's processed.

For those who have the chance to hear FOMO lower key version live in person. Was it ok or bad? It’s different from the fancam for sure that’s why it’s better to ask the people who have hear them live.

 

Btw, She was sick in this show.

 

[jpatdeleon09]

They really need to bring this song back. And i really love the lightning effects here.

Yes, and for many shows she didn’t even struggle with it that much. It was only in late October/early November that she began struggling. Even the second and third nights in Québec she was singing it pretty well.

If she sings this in every show. She can learn something new to make some notes smoother like Courage. At first, she’s a bit struggling in some parts but now it’s easy for her to sing it. That’s what i have noticed with Céline singing a new song on stage. She needs to sing it more so she can be more comfortable with the new song.

[celinefanonline]

yeah i hope she will be in pretty good / top shape!! it seems so many premieres / opening nights always in March! lol haha i do hope for surprises too

[Alex_Incognito]

Anyone able to process a refund through FNAC yet?

 

Y-a-t-il quelqu'un qui a deja fait son remboursement sur FNAC?

[Shamrock_1982]

Quite a few resale tickets for London shows starting to appear online, but no front sections just yet.

 

Question for people who have been to this, in seats on the side sections basically front row at the catwalk.

I take it because the catwalk looks high... do they take away a few of the front rows of those side sections as I’m confused how that section works in regards to selecting seats, as close to the catwalk as possible.

 

I understand all venues are slightly different but just a general explanation would be really appreciated

 

After the TC tour, I’ve always wanted a catwalk seat

So it seems Celines team have decided to cut the stadium in half for the Tel Aviv shows, she’s Only doing half the stadium. Which is strange, as the two previous dates in the amphitheater which held ~25,000 (I believe) we’re selling well, so why cut a 29,000 seat stadium in to a 14,500 seat one?

I think the original amphitheater actually held 20,000, not that it makes a big difference. This would mean that the total capacity for the 2 shows has now been reduced to 75% of what it originally was. Maybe they had only sold around 70% of the tickets and it was slowing down?

 

What I find even more strange is the situation in Berlin, going from the Waldbühne to the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

 

Anyway, I’m happy that Céline’s doing 2 more stadium shows (3 if you count the fairly recent addition of the Athens show).

It’s very jarring though. To me, she could most definitely sell the two nights out, especially considering these new stadium shows are FAR cheaper than the amphitheater shows were. To me it just seems a bit redundant to book a stadium and then do half of it. If these 2 stadium shows combined are only adding up to less than the overall full capacity of the stadium... then that more or less takes away the whole aspect of it being a stadium show. Why not just book an arena?

 

As for Waldbühne it simply may be the case that the venue is not available at that time or that they realised Mercedes Benz arena is just a far superior venue
