New Las Vegas residency show!

[remykyes]

So, I've been keeping a RW calendar of when Katy, Carrie, Luke, etc are performing. As of now, the entire month of November is wide open, except the week after Thanksgiving when Luke returns to the theatre. I'm urging caution when it comes to those free dates as Katy returns to the theatre tomorrow and I'm expecting dates to drop for her for the end of the year, either those open November dates or just before New Years (which for her would be perfect as that's when she opened her show). IF, and this is a biggie, those November dates stay open, I think we'll have a very good idea of when Celine could very well return.

 

EDIT: I just looked again. Katy finishes up a run in October. I think November may very well be when Celine may return. My hope is those first two weeks so I can get out there before peak begins at work and we're officially limited on our paid days off until after the first of the year.

 

Quoting myself here to set the record straight...Katy returns TONIGHT. I'd assume we'll get more dates tomorrow for her end of the year wrap up or dates into 2023. That leads me to believe that if any of the reporting we're hearing is correct, we won't hear anything Celine-wise until the middle of the month at the EARLIEST, regardless of whether she's coming back in November, the end of December, or during any of January. Stay tuned.

 

First of all, LCMM and RDMH can go and make room for fresh songs. I would love a Gospel part with Call the man and another classic. I would love a tribute to her 90s hits with the most emotional and beautiful ballads she has, TPOL with a sick rock arrangement like in 99, I want Love doesn’t ask why, Just walk away (it would make people tear up), definitely Think Twice. Bring back this 90s vibe! I would appreciate I don’t know from FIY, this song is a mood! IACBTMN as the long version in a dramatic musical style with sic visual effects, not as a luke warm opener. There is so much potential!

 

Or instead of I Don't Know, how about Je sais pas? I've always adored the original in French. There's just something about it and its English counterpart that give me chills.

In my opinion Because you loved me deserves a better place on the show, the song is not getting a decent treatment in my opinion the same for power of love

 

About love can move mountains, she loves the song, she can bring a new level to the song, by now is getting boring, as an opening number would work better with a new mix,

Or she should try a down/ acoustic version of the song

Yeah, you’ve got a point. Katy is there until August 13th, so I think we would hear something a few days after that about Celine. I still think 3 months is a tad too small to fill shows for fans outside of neighboring states. I know she will sell out with local fans no doubt but still would’ve liked to have known about this before. But I do understand that they’re waiting for Celine to give the ok to go ahead. I suppose we will all know very soon if this was just speculation.

Yes, I'm a big advocate of an extended 90s segment with 90s classic ballads. A segment which makes those songs justice, both musically and visually. I want it to take me back to the 90s.

I actually wouldn’t mind a mashup of both versions.

Oh yes good idea, I'd love that too

[PuraVida]

Maybe Celine can include "Water from the Moon" in her new setlist! I heard the water levels at the Lake Mead reservoir are getting extremely low.

 

okay, silly joke but honestly the climate crisis does make me worried for Vegas going forward

[Shaun]

I'd be very surprised if she returned to Las Vegas this year. Looking back at her previous shows in Vegas:

 

"A New Day..." started in March 2003....was announced in March 2002.

"Celine" started in March 2011...was announced in February 2010.

The re-vamped "Celine" started in August 2015....was announced in March 2015.

Resorts World residency was due to start November 2021...was announced in May 2021.

 

So basically, the shortest "notice" Celine has ever given for Las Vegas shows is 5 months back in 2015 when she returned after caring for Rene. I find it very unlikely she'll be in Vegas this year. And given the cancellations and postponements Europe has experienced for the "Courage" tour, fulfilling those shows first should be the priority to be honest.

It’s all about HOW you do it: if you’re going to do it, do it with a bang! IACBTMN *worked*. It got the audience on their feet and singing to a roar from the opening note.

 

I’m not delusional or sadistic enough to post a dream set list, but I do hope they strive to make it a little different than the last show/tour.

[jpatdeleon09]

 

 

You're not considering that Most fans are casual fans, Not Us diehard fans, we as a fan base are only a few % of her fan

 

I’m sure the 90’s peeps will say “Wait! I know that song!”, I think it will be great to include her old songs. There are a lot of songs that I’m sure they know like..

 

I Love You

I Love You, Goodbye

Nothing Broken But My Heart

Have a Heart

If We Could Start Over

Water From The Moon

Only One Road

When I Fall In Love

 

And so many more

Why is it sadistic to post a dream setlist?

[PuraVida]

I would be more okay with an "expected" or "predictable" setlist, if we at least got some professional recordings of her singing some of her hidden gems, or songs that were more successful that she has not performed in ages.

 

Like if they filmed a one-off unplugged concert, or some extended Tiny Desk / BBC Live Lounge thing where she brought out some B-sides.

 

Personally would love if she sang "Reveal", "One Heart", "Nothing Broken But My Heart", "Goodbye's The Saddest Word", "I Love You", "Miles To Go Before I Sleep", "Halfway to Heaven", "Surprise, Surprise", "Everybody's Talking My Baby Down"

[SuperLove4Celine]

The typical Vegas setlist has around 18 songs. I view the following as “musts” that need to/should be included so the super casual fans don’t grumble:

 

1. My Heart Will Go On

2. The Power Of Love

3. Because You Loved Me

4. It’s All Coming Back To Me Now

5. Beauty And The Beast

6. All By Myself

7. That’s The Way It Is

8. I’m Alive

9. I Drove All Night

 

Then, these are the songs casuals would probably like to hear, but wouldn’t be terribly disappointed if they weren’t performed:

 

10. Where Does My Heart Beat Now

11. A New Day Has Come

12. To Love You More

13. The Prayer

14. Ashes

15. If You Asked Me To

16. River Deep, Mountain High

17. Pour que tu m’aimes encore

 

That leaves only one…just ONE…slot for a deep album cut, or a song from a lesser-known album. Considering she’d be still in “Courage” album mode, I’m guessing the last option would be:

 

18. Courage

 

If she could just squeeze in two more songs, she could include a couple deep album cuts.

 

Now, I’m not saying this list is what the setlist will (or should) be. I’m just simply proving why making a setlist for Vegas is tough, but also demonstrating why she doesn’t need and shouldn’t resort to including random karaoke-esque covers. We’ll see what happens.

You're leaving out medleys, which historically in her shows are comprised of 2 or 3 songs. In her last residency, it was not uncommon for her to sing anywhere from 20 - 23 total songs if we count medleys. While each song gets less time to shine on its own, that still gives her a chance to throw in some fresh surprises there.

[brendanm999]

This is my current, vanilla setlist prediction.

 

1. “That’s the Way it is”

2. “I’m Alive”

3. “The Power of Love”

–Wardrobe Change–

4. “If You Asked Me To”

5. “Pour que tu m’aimes encore”

6. Medley: “Beauty and the Beast” (duet with Barnev) / “How Does A Moment Last Forever”

7. “Ashes” (after Feb. 2023, replace with It's All Coming Back to Me soundtrack)

–Wardrobe Change–

8. “Lying Down” (or “Loved Me Back to Life”)

9. “Imperfections”

10. “Courage”

11. “The Prayer” (virtual duet with Andrea Bocelli)

12. “All by Myself”

–Wardrobe Change–

13. “Love Can Move Mountains”

14. “I Drove All Night”

15. “Taking Chances”

16. “A New Day Has Come” (Radio Remix)

17. “Because You Loved Me”

–Wardrobe Change–

18. “My Heart Will Go On”

–Wardrobe Change–

19. Encore: “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”

 

 

I hope the actual setlist is a bit less conventional, but RW seems to want their residents to form their setlists based on streaming stats. I would like to see ANDHC radio remix live, as she hasn't performed it in 20 years (with the exception of Seoul in 2008) and it's in her top 20 streamed songs on Spotify. I think Taking Chances also deserves a proper return. I think it worked really well in 2017 with Scott's arrangement. My biggest hope is that they hold true to the "imaginative" part of the show description and maximize the huge proscenium, and use all or most of the LED columns. I'm expecting this show to be the most visually stunning of her career based on what we've seen so far with Katy, Luke, and Carrie.

I also noticed that some of the LED elements and props on stage weren't used in the other shows, and since these photos were taken in October 2021, I think it's reasonable to assume that this was part of Celine's setup. Katy was the only one to use the columns so far, and they were placed differently (some on top also.) I also wonder what that rectangular prop is for, and whether it is part of a water effect, since it is placed directly above the main lift.

 

I hope we find out dates really soon. Tomorrow is the 5th!🤞

I am actually not mad at this setlist. I would just switch the order of ANDHC and TC. I think that segment would flow better. The live arrangement of IDAN still keeps the dance element, but is slightly more rock than the album version. So, I think the segue into TC would make more sense, and then as it ends on a lighter note, to go into ANDHC and BYLM.

I'm actually liking this setlist, if only she would sing ashes, loved me back to life and the new it's all coming back to me soundtrack together in her show, without cutting any of them. Ashes and lmbtl are two of my all time favorites , then I'd say would it be absolutely perfect. At least for me and for the general public as well, 'cause it has all the hits and many songs the general public would be happy with too. I think everyone would enjoy this show

Man could they please take some inspiration from this setlist idea (or copy it right away )

If you ask me to can go. It’s such a dated song, and not special at all IMO. It would rather have Nothing broken but my heart instead.

I like it, it just might need a new arrangement or instrumentation. And probably raise the key a semitone. I remember Patti LaBelle does it pretty frequently and it sounds great. I'm not sure how much Celine likes the song though, she seemed a bit bored of it in the tour clips iirc

[nuts2you]

I'm as wondering if they would use a Diff setlist , Since she still has the tour to continue , I would assume that they would go with something Diff for Vegas ,,

 

You guys have 2 many songs from the tour , I would expect something a little diff all together ,

Why is it sadistic to post a dream setlist?

 

…because they’re painful to read if your heads not in the clouds. Most of them include songs that will never see the stage - either because they are too obscure or Céline is vocally unable to perform them live.

 

Prime example : TYLAM. The studio version is a masterpiece. But she will never match that live, especially now.

 

Many of her songs are getting more difficult for her to sing without going half-assed.

Idk if it's that the intro was too long or the arrangement but that actually bored me. Maybe with an intro like it had in the Courage tour.

 

MHWGO doesn't feel like an opening number to me. She has other big hits that work better.

Didn’t she say in 3 Boys and a New Show or something she made the comment that she wanted to open with MHWGO to “get it over with” or something like that? Like I get she wants to get it over with but it being at the end of the show, the fans just eat it up. So I get she wants to get it out of the way, but it’s just not time to throw it at the beginning of the show.
