New Las Vegas residency show!

[ryba]

Honestly, I am not much excited for this jew residency. Celine needs a break. She needs to move around for sometimes, meet fans, rather than fans coming to see her why don't she she and meet fans.

I am more excited for Courage World Tour than this thing.

I also try to see how this is the best option for her personally because it equals comfort and stability rather than being on the road all the time and changing hotel rooms every day. We have to consider that she is 53 already. I'm glad that she will be there and "available" for everyone who wants to go and see her, and I hope for regular European tours as she did in 2016 and 2017 for those who can't travel to Vegas Edited April 20, 2021 at 10:30 AM by ryba

Now that I'm fully vaccinated, I am ready for the roaring 20s!! A trip to Vegas right now would be just what the doctor ordered. Do some gambling, a little shopping, make a 2-day trip to the Grand Canyon and, of course, see Celine!!

 

Since she's in a new hotel/theater, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't allow a "no touring in North America" clause. Depending on when she starts, she'll still have to finish the CWT. I imagine she'll be doing that in-between Vegas shows. With so many headliners being announced, I wouldn't be surprised if she only does a month here, a month there. We'll soon find out!

[stevo]

Pretty sure it won’t be long haul weeks of shows at a time - she did not seem to enjoy that. Of course, she is CashCowExtraordinaire so it depends on how much AEG and the hotel have pushed her, contract wise. Hopefully your man who she sued and that whole issue won’t have affected this deal- although I’m sure it was put in place well before the Caesars run was over

ZEDD and Tiësto are already announced to start this June! I am very curious whether Céline will do some concerts there this Summer too!

Zedd and Tiësto will be DJing at the day and nightclubs which are ready and will be opening with the rest of the resort, that’s why they’ve confirmed more or less- ‘The Theatre’ (they could have given it a more exciting name) won’t be ready to October time, I think I read somewhere

Did anyone else notice the stunning Stéphane Rolland Billboard Music Awards dress in the display cabinet and video of Céline in the background?

 

[Céline RO]

I’m enjoying all these subtle hints like the BBMAs dress and the 2017 tour video in the background. It’s all very exciting!

[Frenchie]

I’d say early next year...

 

That is what I'm afraid of too. And tickets go on sale in Friday.....

[Céline RO]

Also, I’m 100% sure the world tour will go on. The residency will either start after the end of the tour (which may have been cut short) or she may even do both in parallel. The second option seems more likely to me. Either way, if anything, she will probably be performing more than ever in the years to come which is very exciting!

Wow, the pandemic is getting more and more crazy in Europe and Vegas is announcing shows this year. That’s interesting

[Frenchie]

I knew she was going back to Vegas at some point in 2019, but we have not reached the two year anniversary of closing the "Celine" show yet and she is already announcing another residency. I was hoping for 4-6 years away from Vegas. Give me time to breathe, and make it exciting to go to Vegas again. Celine's career needs something to jump start it back to life after Greatest Hits residency/tour after GH tour on the English side. Thought some shaking up would happen if she was away for several years from Vegas. At this point, I am more excited for a French residency in Paris (or Montreal) than her THIRD English residency. At least it would be new and interesting. Oh well, it's her life.....and I will see tomorrow how much this show will cost, and how long it's run will be, and what type of show we are looking at receiving before getting too excited.

I agree, I hold back on excitement and disappointment. This could still be another 2 years away, she may not be the first headliner; but they wanted to announce all the acts ASAP for the hotels momentum with it opening at the end of June newly announced.

 

Also, call me crazy but this chapter does seem more exciting than the return of the CWT; I think the momentum of that tour is gone and stale.

 

My only wish is that Celine is smart enough to opt out of the clause that states she can’t perform in the US during her residency. I know it would be rare anyhow but she shouldn’t be tied down from a one off show here and there in other US Cities.

[Céline RO]

We have so much to look forward to:

 

- new residency

- world tour continuing

- Text For You

- possibly new French album

- Diane Warren song

 

[couldawouldashoulda]

She was always going to go back to Vegas after a couple of years. She's stated multiple times that she loves it there. Also, the twins are only ten years old. She hasn't been able to have them on tour with her during CWT the way Rene-Charles was with her during TCWT. Going back to live and perform in Vegas to be with her kids was a given.

[Del]

 

 

 

Since she's in a new hotel/theater, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't allow a "no touring in North America" clause.

 

While I get why they'd put such a clause it's one of the reasons I've become annoyed with her always going back to Vegas. I get that for many it's easy but for some of us on the other side of the continent a quick trip to London can be just as easy. Fingers crossed she wo be allowed to do shows in Quebec.

I'm hoping she's smart enough to not have that clause this time and she'll be able to perform in North America outside of Vegas. Since they're announcing so many big names as headliners, there's a good possibility this won't be the same as Ceaser's Palace.

[SuperLove4Celine]

I have no problems with “the hits” being part of her setlists. I actually still enjoy hearing some of them. However, if she throws in another bunch of random and/or over-performed covers at the expense of her own catalogue again, I’m going to vomit. I’m not expecting rarities like “Love You Blind” or “All Because Of You” be performed, but tell me is it asking too much for something like “Somebody Loves Somebody” to be included somewhere in the show? I think not.

 

Here is a quick list of REALISTIC non-mega hits I’d like to see in the show:

 

- Somebody Loves Somebody

- Let’s Talk About Love

- Ten Days

- Have You Ever Been In Love

- Misled

- I Believe In You (w/ Il Divo on screen or in hologram form)

- Heart Of Glass

- Nothing Broken But My Heart

- Fade Away

- In Some Small Way

 

As for the UNrealistic hopes I have? Here are some:

 

- Then You Look At Me

- Just A Little Bit Of Love

- Falling In Love Again

- Sorry For Love (“A New Day Has Come” Version)

- You And I

- There Comes A Time (Let Me Be Your Soldier)

- Make You Happy

- I Feel Too Much

- In His Touch

- Your Light

[Nmj]

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, she doesn’t have 20 greatest hits, there’s room easily for a great setlist INCLUDING the hits.

 

The non negotiable include:

1. MHWGO

2. IACBTMN

3. BYLM

4. ABM

5. TPOL

6. TTWII ( tho Celine’s team have treated it like a reject before)

7. ANDHC ( clearly deserves its place, but they also neglect this song)

 

The others not interchangeable that probably will he still included are

8. BATB

9. I’m Alive

10. IDAN

 

and here are the dreaded duo that need to retire but probably won’t:

11. LCMM

12. RDMH

 

Even if all the above are included that’s 12 songs, that leaves 6-8 more songs that could all be Celine rarities or lesser known songs. There’s no reason for another tribute, Vegas or otherwise. If it were up to me even more because I’d disregard 8-12 from above.

 

And someone please explain to me how this team as treated TLYM more of a hit than ANDHC, TTWII, Or even Ashes?

[jpatdeleon09]

We have so much to look forward to:

 

- new residency

- world tour continuing

- Text For You

- possibly new French album

- Diane Warren song

 

 

I will include “Aline”

[stevo]

I swear to God, if the battered and beaten to death ending of LCMM, RDMH (THANK YOU, GOOD NIGHT) MHWGO Encore is still there, I will send turds in the post.

 

Oh my God. What if it’s just the Courage Tour, but in the hotel? Like, that is an actual quite plausible scenario!!! 😰😰😰

I've worried about that as well. I think it'll all depend on when she starts. If she finished the CWT, I would hope Vegas would be a different show. However, if she starts at the end of this year and still has to finish her CWT responsibilities...still, I don't know. She has a North American leg to finish - would they want the Vegas show to be something different in order to be a draw? Or will she get too confused having two shows to perform? Since 2016 and 2017 saw her doing a different tour on her Vegas breaks, I'd still hope that Vegas will be a new show and not just CWT. But with Celine, you never know.

 

I'm sure everything they'd planned for has been thrown out the window due to Covid. AEG will want her to do whatever they think will sell the most tickets, I'm sure.

LCMM, RDMH, (Thank you, Goodnight)... que the flute....has only been done for like 16 years straight not that bad

 

MHWGO we’ve made peace with, nothing we can do to change that lol... LCMM and RDMH.... need to be put to rest. PLEASE, I mean I’ve thought I’d say this but at this point they are painful to watch. Not only shouldn’t they end the show, they shouldn’t start the show, or be anywhere in between.

 

I don’t know why she couldn’t move TTWII, IDAN and revive the radio remix of ANDHC and have those 3 hit songs be the upbeat ending before the final encore; people love those songs make them wait to hear them and have faith in your songs Celine.

I am hoping for this new residency to start in March 2023, and let 2022 be when Celine finishes the CWT, release Text For You, and a possible new French album. However, I don't see that happening. Celine is the biggest name in the list so far that has put out these teasers for the announcement tomorrow, so I am betting she is starting March 2022. Resorts World is gonna want to start making their money back ASAP on their investment of a new resort, new venue, and after the pandemic. Celine pulled Caesars out of the slump twice, so I bet Resorts World is hoping the same with her. It has me worried what the ticket prices are gonna be for this new show. We as a celine forum proved to her team over the last couple years we are willing to pay the BIG bucks for tickets. I guess if she is doing a 20-35 shows a year in Vegas than they might skip the clause of no shows in North America. She should be able to sell those out in no time, but who knows. That clause is a buzz killer for us North American fans. A safe set list from Celine or no Celine unless she does a French show in Montreal. So I will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

 

And since everyone after me is posting about the set list, and I sound like a Debbie Downer. It's not that I am mad she has to perform the hits, in fact I like them, and made peace that they are her bread and butter to keep performing. The problem I have is what she does with the remaining 12 (give or take) open slots in the set list after the required hits. Her team fills those 12 slots with the same songs over and over again- like LCMM, RDMH, BATB, IA, and the required 1/2 cover songs she just has to sing. What happen to songs like: ANDHC (Radio Remix), OH, LMBTL, TC, ML, Misled, TLTK, WTT, and WIFIL to name a few. All these songs had music videos and were promoted to varying degrees of success. These are the songs that seem to get pulled out on these mini tours, but never make their way back to Vegas for some reason.

 

As for CWT, it's gone stale because there was not enough Courage songs in the setlist, one too many covers, and now we have one year since the last show was performed. It's become old news to the fan base. Sad cause I saw the show a couple times and seeing it live was a delight. On paper you can complain about the set list all you want, but when I saw it live, I was taken away. A beautiful show that had everything you need from Celine. As Sinatra sang, "It's Life!"...Nothing I can do about it till I hear more about this residency.

I agree with this. I also saw the CWT live and enjoyed myself, Celine has a tendency to make you love everything in person, I think how we gage this tho is, how would the show translate to someone on a DVD who’s hasn’t seen the show? If it’s kinda boring on DVD for example, then it needs some work on stage too. I wouldn’t ever listen to “Kiss”, “Another One Bites The Dust”, “Let’s Dance”, “River Deep”, “LCMM” at all if I had the choice to skip them on a DVD.

Shhhh don't be giving them ideas about parking the Courage Tour in Vegas.

 

As for LCMM all I can say is when I saw her in Quebec City it wasn't part of the French setlist and it was quite refreshing.

I think that is a bad way to gage a show unfortunately. The Covers Medley was not a highlight in the concert for me, but being in the arena with another 15,000 screaming fans dancing, singing, and enjoying watching Celine run around the stage and being her goofy self made that a fun little experience in the concert. It got old for me cause I went to 7 CWT shows (3 French & 4 English), but it was always fun to see everyone get to their feet for that section. Wish Celine didn't put the medley so close the the end of the show OR continued the medley, but with some other upbeat songs in her catalog. When I am watching the DVDs, these covers medleys are like a novelty item in the concert. Nice to hear "new" music from Celine and could compare her to the original musician, but they are not the songs I am repeating on the live record/DVD usually. She does have a few exceptions: ICHFIL from the TCOML DVD; Calling You and Elle from Live in Olympia come to mind though. Hard to say.

[ajguerras]

I doubt that. They know big audiences are not interested in new Celine's music, they just want her to sing the old hits.
