New Las Vegas residency show!

[Alex_Incognito]

Her most popular and successful Vegas residency

wouldn't the second one be the most successful? It lasted longer. Edited September 30, 2022 at 08:04 PM by Alex_Incognito

RIP Franco Dragone

that trailer and this version of LCMM are so horribly bad. She sounds like a 80 year old woman. I don’t understand how they could release it back then Edited September 30, 2022 at 08:42 PM by ryba

Here is another on from LV

This has hit hard… what an amazing show he put together for her.

 

Her most popular and successful Vegas residency and as it evolved it just got better and better and the DVD never really captured just how incredible it was.

 

It was my first ever Céline show and I returned to see it many times over the years and it holds so many amazing memories and feelings for me, in particular when I got the rose from her, and got a backstage tour and stood on that amazing stage on another visit.

 

But the lighting, staging, visuals and the simple cirque statement touches with Céline at the centre really was special and I always hoped they would work together again in the future.

 

RIP Franco.

 

I think you just said everything that could be said. I was privileged to have been able to see the show twice, once with my dad, and once with my mom, and both shows hold such special memories for me. And whether it was your first Celine show or your umpteenth Celine show, it was such a special moment in time to have been able to have been in the Colosseum at Caesars Palace to experience the magic Celine and Franco put together . RIP Franco.

Most incompetent team I’ve ever seen! You’re probably right, they don’t care that social media has a 24-7 capability. It’s like the schedule her posts.

[PuraVida]

RIP Franco Dragone. A grand artist and, it seemed, a very kind, benevolent person.

 

Celine continues to lose petals

[Dancing_Queen]

Jeez, will you all give it a rest...

Surely, Céline will write a message herself. Is she allowed to reflect on that for a moment? Or *must* she get the message out mere hours after his death jusr because you all require an *immediate* response?

Celine released a statement same day as her mothers, fathers and Rene’s passing along with Queen Elizabeth II. I’m sure she was closer to her parents and Rene and she still did it rather quickly. I’m sure Franco’s message is already written but her social media team is out of the office for the night….what a shitty joke of a team to a A list legend.

You can’t seriously compare the response time to her parents or Renes passing to Francos? Obviously with her parents or Rene she would react right away; they were the most important people in her life. Franco was an industry friend whom she worked with 20 years ago. Yes they could have stayed in touch but I don’t see how you could justify her having to post quickly for Franco just because she done it quickly for her parents lol. There is less urgency for non family.

People are saying give her time to respond, which is fine that’s her business, I’m only complaining about her shitty team. However, you proved my point with this post… I would think if I were Celine, it would be harder to form words on a passing of a member of my family or spouse, than others people…. Therefore taking my time to respond. Celine doesn’t owe anyone, anything on a timeline… I was simply saying, that to me it makes no sense.

[Shamrock_1982]

Imagine we get a video instead as this was a very special point in her life and career.

C’est avec beaucoup de tristesse que j’apprends le décès de mon cher ami et collaborateur Franco Dragone. Nous avons partagé tellement de beaux et grands moments ensemble à travers l’aventure A New Day… Sa créativité, son professionnalisme, son ingénieuse façon de rassembler les gens et de les faire rêver marqueront plusieurs générations d’artistes et d’artisans. J’offre mes plus sincères condoléances à sa famille, à ses proches et à tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de croiser son chemin. - Céline xx…

 

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of my dear friend and collaborator Franco Dragone. Franco and I shared so many incredible and beautiful moments together throughout our “A New Day…” adventure. Franco’s imaginative creativity, his professionalism, and his ingenious ability to bring people together and make them believe will transcend generations. My most sincere condolences to his family, his loved ones and to all those who had the privilege to cross his path. - Celine xx…

She was trying too hard while lipping. It looked so awkward. I think this is the most awkward she has ever looked.

[Shamrock_1982]

Wow, that’s it?

 

Céline, Céline, Céline… I dunno what to say anymore

[AdrienneM]

…. Why are people expecting video tributes to a man she worked with 20 years ago when she didn’t produce that for her husband, brother or mother? I doubt she’s even seen the man in person for over 10 years… (edit: in fact, it seems the last time they were even photographed together was over 14 years ago) some people really need to separate THEIR views of what is important to her and what her actual areas of importance are.

They worked together on one show 20 years ago. She's worked with many people. What is she supposed to do? Dress up like a bird and pretend to fly like people do in every Cirque show? She should pay more tribute to Eddy Marnay than she does because that man started her career.

Amen. So many people act like they were also a part of the show. Values distorted.

This guy had a HUGE impact of Celine being successful in Vegas, and producing arguably the BEST show Vegas and Celine has ever done. It’s not even close in my book, “A New Day…” is a experience that the dvd did no justice for, you had to be there in person to truly get it. I was hoping for Franco to help Celine once again with a show, he’s brilliant in my opinion.

[Shamrock_1982]

She owes him a lot… if it wasn’t for him she would never have seen O, there would be no A new day… and her career and success could have gone in a totally different direction… hell she may not have even returned after having RC and she didn’t really want to come back for that residency but she did for that residency and I expected at least a 2 section tweet for all that he gave her, Las Vegas and us her fans.

[Alex_Incognito]

Yeah, but now fans complain that Vegas was the death of the rest of her career. Guess we're never happy.

[Shamrock_1982]

Those fans are mainly fans who have never even been to vegas never mind seen her shows in vegas in person lol. Edited October 1, 2022 at 05:42 PM by Shamrock_1982

That’s left for debate, however I think most fans think “A New Day…” was brilliant, the 2nd and 2A Vegas residencies are the ones that maybe beat a dead horse… maybe she should’ve tried to out do the first residency with “Celine” but it wasn’t the case.

 

They hid behind the word “simplicity” when really “lazy” was what they did.

If you recall, the show was absolutely *slated* in its inception, and any article or documentary based on the show notes that, the show only really reached its stride in the last 2 years- during which, Francos input was at bare minimum, they’d stripped back most if not almost all of his original ideas and had brought in new choreographers, Annie as her stylist completely changed her look, the musical aspects included multiple things Franco would never have approved of originally, and (as many would agree) was a completely different show by 2006 in comparison to how it was in 2003. Her success, the shows success, was predicated on HER as the main attraction- and critiques at the time were pointed at the fact she was lost in a sea of circus tricks that they found detracted from the show- and by 2006/2007, reviews were more positive saying it was far more Celine centric, with minimal cirque involvement. As for my views on the show from a musical and vocal stand point there’s no point in going on, as I’m sure it can be agreed on that a set list where 50% of it was lip synched and the rest had lazy vocals on a million covers… best show, sure. But all of this is pointless- the point itself is; why would he receive a spectacle of a tribute from her, when people who were far greater with regards to impact of her career, as well as her own family, never received such a thing. It just makes zero sense to me.

Are you really telling me what the critics said? They hated the short blonde granny hair, they hated the ugly #ss clothing. I’m putting superficial s*** aside, you had to be there in person to truly get it, it really took you out of the world into a fantasy land, the dvd didn’t capture this not even 1%.

 

“A New Day…” was my first ever live show/ concert and I wish it wasn’t because here I am going to other shows and Celine shows after that thinking all shows were like that, and every thing else hasn’t come close. I don’t care what the critics said, they never liked Celine and probably didn’t understand her decision to go to Vegas before was “popular” to go there like it is now.
