Courage World Tour - EU shows CANCELED

[browseceline]

 

You do whatever you want!! This is your time with Céline and if you want to sing and dance then you should and not let any misery guts ruin your fun. If they want to sit, they can but you have every right to go crazy. The first time I saw her, someone tapped me on the shoulder and told me to sit down- in short, it was the last thing they said to me because I made it quite clear that this event was my reason for being and existing and that nothing would stop me. I’m not a selfish person- the opposite. But with Céline....I draw the line.

That is quite egoistic don't you think? You are not the only one that wants to have a good time. you are not the only one that waited months to see and hear her life for their first time. If you want to dance and sing the whole time then take a standingplace on the field - if there is not - respect that it is not Your own party but that there are many more people around you that want to enjoy their concert as well and paid to be there. respect please.

I once told the lady next to me that I paid to hear Celine sing - not her - with a laugh. She smiled and got the message!

Do it jokingly and it works.

I would have said it during her never ending bit about deadpool 2, her shoulders and Ryan Reynolds... without laughs...

For a while there I was worried we won't get a "Summer of Celine", like we did for the past few years. Her gallivanting in front of fancy hotels and posing for the cameras in wacky outfits.

But, I have a feeling we might just get a "Summer of Celine" in Quebec. I think while rehearsing and seeing family & friends for campfire singalongs, she might pop up here and there around Montreal just to keep up the social media presence between now and the start of the tour.

At least I hope so!

She might also do quick flights to NY to visit her bff and go to some shows XD

Or more seriously to guest on a talk show or two to maintain presence in mainstream media, especially if they release something after BST.

She's hasn't done any Canadian (at least English Canadian) media in a while, and they all seem to love her now (about time!), so hopefully that'll change.

I think we could see a couple stops in NYC too. She may do a few of the NY based shows and a bit of a press tour for a new single and to promote the tour; it’s not a far trip at all.

if you have paid more than 100 euro to have a seat the last thing you want is someone blocking your view. if everybody stands, okay i will stand as well. But during the other moments please be seated, you ruin someone else’s concert experience. And another thing i really hate is when people sing along loud so you cannot hear the singer anymore. She won’t hear you anyway! so my advice, and what i usually do when i really want to - lipsync;)

 

But what if you’ve paid $300 and you want to stand up and dance at the concert you’ve been waiting for? You’ve paid more than the people sitting behind you, and I think you should feel free to dance if you want to. 🙃

You’re going to have people standing at concerts - that’s inevitable, and that’s partially why they have Jumbotrons. Just as you cannot demand everyone stand the whole time, you cannot demand that everyone sit the whole concert, either.

 

A few years ago, I got into it with some older couples at a Cyndi Lauper/Cher concert because they were yelling at my friends to “Sit DOWN!” - during the HITS!!! They came up during the intermission and scolded us for being “disrespectful to Elders.” I was totally flabbergasted. I mean, I see their point, but if they wanted an uninterrupted view from a seat, they should have bought tickets OFF THE MAIN FLOOR on a balcony or along a railing. We sorted it out, but man it was ugly for a minute 😅

Can't you dance while sitting on your seat and moving your derriere?

I remember back than before the concert in Jakarta, there's someone who asked Celine's fans to join for a campaign to make people who attend Celine concert to keep on their seat and not sing along, no one responded LOL, everyone's just like "hell no, I'm going to dance for the uptempo, and sit for the ballad". But in reality most of time even for the ballad, everyone stand up and sing along, they really enjoy that special moment. I think for a pop concert, sing along, stand up and dance is like rain, tax, it's inevitable.

Boy y'all aren't going to like me because I'm up and moving and singing when the feeling hits me. It's a pop concert not a symphonic concert. Edited June 7, 2019 at 02:18 AM by DionFanAlways

[mirage]

Hahaha standing I dont care.

But the singing. OMG no thank you. Just lipsynch for your life, because some of you sound like drowning cats who think they can hit the ABM note.

But if the orchestra is there, isn't it a bit more symphonic?

Hmm you could see it that way!

 

I’d like to clarify when I say singing though, I don’t sing at the top of my lungs, it is a quiet singing a whisper.

no more orchestra band please.. just a simple band like before. If some songs need an orchestral version.. They can just pre record sections from the orchestra like they were doing before. Edited June 7, 2019 at 12:15 PM by jpatdeleon09

[CSCfan]

Well if we're getting a more current sound for the album, her band needs to be "upgraded" to be able to perform as such.

Bring in more drumpads and synths!

They better do that or it will sound boring...

 

As long as it's not orchestra band.. They already did that for 9 years. It's enough

Hopefully not. To me, that's dated and completely uninteresting.

Orchestra, please. Anything else would only be a huge step backwards.

[AdrienneM]

The things the orchestra has done is incredible. Scotts direction of that orchestra he was able to bring life into songs that were nearly 25 years old like Refuse to Dance, he was able to revitalise Love Is All We Need and Treat Her Like a Lady too, not to mention refreshing the ballads.

 

The orchestra under scotts direction breathes so much atmosphere into the music, in ways which Mego and the smaller band couldnt, IMO Mego sucked the life out of certain songs, particularly out of the material from Taking Chances, where as Scott revitalised that on the 2017 tour, as he did with Love Me Back To Life.

 

If the argument is that they can bring in pre recorded orchestral sections, why cant they continue to use pre recorded synth and such as shown on the 2017 tour and keep the orchestra?

[CSCfan]

Uhh...if anything, it's the other way around. You can't expect songs like 'Shadow of Love', 'Fade Away', 'Flying On My Own' (and other highly produced tracks) to have that same sound live with an old-fashioned band/orchestra. We've heard how flat songs like LMBTL, SOL, Incredible, etc sound.

 

The orchestra has been gone and done, as much as I love it (you can't call the musicians she took on the 2018 tour an orchestra). Sure I'm all for the horn section coming along again, but other than that... it's time for a sound that matches or improves on her studio sound.

 

For the COURAGE tour. They need to take a pill and have more courage; new sound, new production; new songs, new possibilities.

If Scott was able to revitalise 20 year old synth tracks incredibly with an orchestra, SOL and Fade away are a walk in the park. It was Mego, if i do remember, that destroyed their arrangements and removed all the flair, *those* were flat and boring. Scotts LMBTL too was increidble and modern.

The bass is very prevalent in the second clip, but poor audio quality and the lower key distort that. Imo, the second 2017 clip had far more LIFE in it, than a performance that was more or less just the studio instrumental ripped and dubbed over the actual audio

Yes, it was Mego's "doing", and Yes, Scott vastly improved the arragements and I love his work.

But Scott has always been more of an "orchestra" conducter and this is evident in his live arrangements, but also on his studio work.

While I agree Scott's arrangement of LMBTL was better than Mego's, it still misses the "oomph" the studio version had. And I think they agreed (and it also showed from the audience's reaction), as there's a reason the song was taken from the setlist.

It's better than orchestral version - (I think this only best for ballads)

See! It's much more alive than the boring orchestral arrangements.. It's just doesn't work for songs like this. Orchestral arrangements are best in ballads but her new music from her upcoming album needs to be like this and not the orchestral arrangements or it will sound flat. It needs some bass to wake up the people.. like feeling the bass in your chest thumping. lol
