New Las Vegas residency show!

[AdrienneM]

 

 

Mego always annoyed me. He always has “pretentious douche” vibes coming off of him.

 

Dude literally wrote and composed a song ABOUT HIMSELF for her to sing WITH HIM during shows to “introduce” him to the audience…

[ScotieG]

Imagine having pretty much the same musical director for 28 years without change. In this industry he’s lucky he got 28 years!

So cringe

And he got to be her conductor through the biggest and brightest moments of her career. Poor Scott must be giving private piano lessons these days to keep afloat these days. **INSERT SARCASM” here.

I'm glad Celine has a new band. You can really tell the difference, her songs sond so much richer now. Also, the vibe on stage is fresh and exciting. Just because Mego worked for her for 28 years, doesn't mean he has to do so for the rest of his life. I also wonder why pepople are keen on interviewing him. Singers change band members and teams constantly. No reason to make such a big deal out of it in Celines case. I'm glad Aldo shook up their whole world a little bit and showed Celine new avenues before he was fired.

I agree with you 100%.

I think people have made this a bigger deal than normal because usually singers change their people if they do, before 28 years… after 28 years they probably just thought it would stay that way.

 

I think Scott overall is a much better conductor but in my opinion, the reality is they both give mostly watered down arrangements, Celine is probably to blame in that as well. Sometimes I think it would be better to just use a track because they tend to suck all of the life out of certain songs especially the uptempos.

 

“I’m Alive”, “That’s the way it is”, “Love Can Move Mountains” all feel like a letdown in terms of arrangements.

Lol I know my post came across as a Mego lover but really the main point is resistance to change. Again you can only do what the boss is willing. Even Scott said they would rehearse songs and then nada.

I think IA and TTWII sound 1000x better than they ever did live with Scott at the helm.

Here is that article

 

Claude "Mégo" Lemay admits he hasn't really settled his scores with Celine Dion (moviesonline.ca)

I think that a good band is everything. The perfect example for me is Helene Fischer. She comes from the genre of schlager music, but now after 15 years in the business she switched to pop, her shows have gotten bigger and on a world class level. Recently she signed a mega concert deal, and she also changed her entire band. Now all the songs from the past have new edgy arrangements with cool modern beats, crazy drums, very rock and you would never tell that the original album versions from 15 years ago are actually schlager songs. That’s how good arrangements can make a huge difference. I actually like buying her live albums, because all her old songs sound totally different and like new songs. I wish the same for Celine. In her team, there is a huge lack of vision. They are too traditional and not open enough for new good opportunities.

They may sound better now with Scott, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re where they should/could be yet. To be frank, anyone compared to Mego would have sounded better. So, in hindsight, praising Scott may just be because we all got used to such boring interpretations of the songs presented onstage.

I enjoy them. I still think her songs can be taken to new levels and heights though. Like her 1991 "10 Ans Deja" concert for me was pure art in terms of how they used the orchestra.

 

I have not really seen that kind of excellence and beauty matched in her career in terms of the arrangement.

I just wish some good Montrealer will see him in a cafe, secretly hit record on their phone, and ask him where the tabarnak is Celine??

Her rendition of “The Power Of Love” at David Foster and Friends is absolutely EXQUISITE.

[mirage]

They sound good, but for her uptempo repertoire they should just add a backing track because it still lacks some power.

Her body in 2019 was not good. Muscles not fed.

What do you know about her muscles being fed or not

Its getting to the point now where the media and people just want some kind of news regarding her after such a huge radio silence, so a line can be drawn under this chapter.

 

* Is she about to make a comeback announcement.

* Is she improving but shes still not 100% yet.

* Is her condition more serious than what they have previously said and this will be a long road.

* Has lockdown made her think that she no longer wants to perform and she wants to appreciate life with her family and retire.

* Shes on her way out.

 

Who knows at this stage, but enough is enough, we have all been through a tough time over the past few years not just her, but finally just let us know what to expect for f*** sake fans have been more than patient and respectful but patience does eventually run out.

Than i would suggest you too look for someone else... its this demanding attitude that keeps the radio silence.. if she does not know what to say maybe she had a small relapse or its still not going as well as it should and she also doesnt know what to expect of her body at this point.. what would be the point of taking on an interview and say what hey guys i dont know ehat to tell you still in progress and treatment.. we dont know whats going on with her so patience and when she is ready we eill gladly hear the story .. and youll probable kick yourself..

Diehards are starting to loose interest in her now and that should be worrying for her.

 

There will always be casuals, whales in Vegas and new fans but it is the diehards who mean and do the most for big artists.

Luckily those diehards dont make uo the mayority of her fandom so where good.. soo again if your a real fan your concern is for her health not what you feel should or shouldnt happen..

David Blaine's new dates rule out January.

[remykyes]

David Blaine's new dates rule out January.

 

He’s got the first and last weekends. Celine could still take the weeks of the 8th and the 15th.

[smw]

This much time away from the spotlight is good for her soul, and I hope she'll appreciate performing again more than she has in a long time.

I'm going to reignite the big question:

 

What's your ideal Celine setlist for this new Vegas residency??

I want her to WOW audiences.

[Harry mendes]

I would love to hear her sing open arms again, but i know it will never happen

[jpatdeleon09]

I would love to hear her sing A New Day Has Come again (ala a new day)

[maki_Dion-er]

David Blaine's new dates rule out January.

 

I think many should give up hope. There's no way she's performing in Vegas before Fall 2023. She'll finish the tour and come back with her full focus on Vegas.

I suggest you respect other people’s opinions on this forum and stop having the need to target certain members posts time and time again, I’m Irish so hard as nails but I see you target others also on this forum over and over again who maybe are afraid to call you out. If you don’t like certain members or their views, fine, either say nothing or mute them… just stop being a c.u.n.t

She’d only be able to do 8 shows, at most, and would have to stop rehearsals for several days before the premiere, and rehearse through Christmas. I think it’s extremely unlikely at this point. Edited October 9, 2022 at 09:22 PM by brendanm999

That's not true. There are several opportunities between tour legs to do shows. She only has 8 shows scheduled between April 12 and August 25. This residency, since it was originally announced, was supposed to start before she finished the tour. If she's able to perform in February, I can't imagine that the decision makers would be willing to wait until after the tour ends to premiere a show that was already built and partially rehearsed a year ago. However, I agree with you that many should lose hope about January. They'd have to load in/out her show at least once, if not twice during rehearsals and a holiday week which sounds like a logistical nightmare and waste of money for only 6-8 shows.

You seem to be having a hard time understanding the perspective of fans (customers) who purchased tickets over 3 years ago for outstanding shows that were supposed to be delivered over two years ago. Given the increasing economic hardships people are facing and after several postponements, I think it's totally justified for ticketholders to start losing patience. Also, the "demanding attitude" is in no way a cause for the lack of updates.

I'm not saying there isn't opportunity but that she very likely won't do it.

Also, Celine didn't get to rehearse the new show for long if at all.
