New Las Vegas residency show!

[sarit_celine]

Mexican singer Luis Miguel didn't give interviews in years, no shows, no nothing, zero communication with his fans.

So, things always can get worst on that aspect, at least we did hear from Celine here and there.

 

I hope that good news will come, but something inside me tells me Celine is in highly complicated situation with her health.

They will wait for the last moment, again, to see if she is able at all to go on stage.

[PuraVida]

I wonder about these things because I find her as a person to be interesting, but I really think she's convinced that her fans only like her for the image of strength she represents. The problem is not necessarily in how we as fans articulate our frustrations, but more in the way our fandom creates this cult of perfection that Celine feels subjected to. And maybe, she can't imagine a way out.

 

She is as much a perfectionist as some of her fans, it seems to me. And that has pluses and minuses. But mainly I think she won't commit to anything unless she's in it 100% and can give 100% of herself. I think she feels terrible that she has to let people down.

 

I also think she knows vulnerability is a strength, but sometimes it is easier to go through things in private. I am sure when the time comes, she will share a ton. Open book doesn't always have to be "open while the story is still being written", so to speak. If daily life itself is hard due to her health, then her first priority will be to focus on that.

I don’t think things are well. I suspect they would have been announcing more info now even a video of her announcing her participation in the new movie. I don’t think she’ll be back soon. And Vegas media has been thinking she’d be back by now. Anyway. A bad feeling all around.

let´s think a step further. What if the ticket sales were not good, because people didn´t want to travel due to the still ongoing pandemic, and they felt forced to postpone. Of course they wouldn´t officially admit that, but it might very well be the case.

Not sure about that...presumably a lot of the tickets were already sold in advance? And they already have the cash in hand since they refuse to give refunds.

Most of the shows were still completely sold out up until her announcement this April. Only after that did I notice a lot of people had sent in refunds or put their tickets up for resale. Even now, most of the shows are still completely or close to sold out.

[scielle]

What if the new documentary is the Netflix special that was rumored in the past with several episodes? Wouldn’t that be awesome?

 

There was a Netflix special rumored? When / where?

It was certainly hoped for, after some Tweets / social interactions, but rumored? News to me.

Hmm...

 

Oh, and I'm increasingly convinced there's something coming up on Netflix. Maybe tour-related, maybe not. But they've been suspiciously active on her IG & elsewhere on social media with Celine-related content, plus she follows them on both IG and Twitter, and she doesn't generally do that out of passing interest...

Netflix is all about securing content with global appeal now, to grow their international sub base, and there are few artists with the kind of global reach she has. It's such an obvious choice for them.

[scielle]

Hmm...

 

That's not a rumour. That's hope and speculation. There's a distinct difference.

Adele will start her Vegas show this week. I remember when Celine opened the A New Day Show 20 years ago. The Chrysler TV commercials, the IDAN single/video, the OH album and of course the horrible blonde hair. It was a No Go to have a show in Vegas and now nearly every big artist has a show there.

Will be very interesting to see snippets come out of her show. And the fan reaction. Do you all like the title of her show and the concept?

 

I wonder if Celine will send Adele some "stagewarming" gift

[smw]

I just went and looked at Adele’s most recent instagram post… her standing in the colosseum.

 

It’s strange to think that Celine will no longer perform in the theater that was built for her.

 

I look forward to watching clips from Adele’s show on YouTube. I wonder if she’ll reference Celine? I assume she will.

now she gets to perform in the place that was once built specifically for Celine. Feels kind of strange, doesn’t it? This place is so much more welcoming than the venue at Resorts World. Edited November 18, 2022 at 08:04 PM by ryba

Maybe Celine & her team will see clips from Adele’s new show and get inspired… I hope Celine returns to Vegas with a legendary show down the road.

 

Lots of moody atmosphere for the iconic diva / queen of the strip that she is.

It does make me sad in a way. It’s Céline’s theatre

[KyleVan41]

Celine never got the credit she deserves - they built that whole friggin thing FOR HER!. That’s the star power. I’d love it if Adele did one tribute song to her for all she’s done for that place

That would be lovely.

[PuraVida]

It does feel like this odd, somewhat nostalgic generation passing moment. That said, I am glad Celine has moved onto new interior decor and better audio-visual technology

The Adele Vegas videos are popping up...

From what I've seen so far... it looks like a simple (for Vegas) and elegant show. Just like what I want for Celine's new Vegas show.

 

Adele also seems a little nervous, especially when singing Hello. A bit surreal / strange to see her on Celine's stage... but I like Adele a lot, and I'm glad she's a big Celine fan.

 

Hearing Adele sing, I think she sounds really good... but I am reminded of how iconic Celine's voice is. Celine will make a comeback, and it will be wonderful.

Very politely put. I have personally never found Adele to be that good a singer. She is a good song writer generally though. Hearing Celine sing Rolling in the Deep in Vegas was a revelation. The difference in vocal quality was very obvious.

They just have different qualities, and as they say…”art is subjective.” Adele is actually a technically fabulous singer. I personally enjoy her voice.

As someone who has no musical talent or understanding of how music works, for me it is purely the sound that comes out when someone sings that I notice. Not necessarily a comment about Adele, but I do think that there is a difference between knowing how to sing technically and having the ability to do it well. I suppose that is one of the things that makes Celine stand out. She is just naturally incredibly talented and had very little training early on. Even her speaking voice has a certain tone to it.

[jpatdeleon09]

That’s why I miss Céline doing a big prod show in Las Vegas. Look at the visuals. Amazing!

What's the distinction?

hope: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen

speculation: the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence

rumour: a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth

 

People on here routinely turning the former into the latter is how we end up with so many complains about Celine never having done XXY, or how XXY is another supposed project that never happened. And it's because XYZ was never "a thing" beyond the figment of someone's imagination or desire.

[scielle]

I wouldn't normally quote or link to a tabloid, but for what it's worth, The Sun is currently the only one (that I'm aware of) reporting this:

 

"[Adele] credited Celine Dion for inspiring her to perform on stage.

She said: ”I'm not going to lie I feel like Celine Dion, that's another reason why I wanted to sing in here, she's my favourite.""

I agree with you. Celine's vocal quality and her intonation are very special and even her speaking voice has a musicality to it that is unusual. I enjoy Celine's cover songs because she is just better at singing that almost anyone else.

In your own words, you were "convinced" something was happening. That is not just expressing "a feeling expectation and desire". I would say the Netflix thing was a rumour spread amidst fan circles online and on social media. Does it need to be reported by tabloids or shoddy websites to become a rumour? No. Did it have any confirmed, factual basis? No.

 

Beyond semantics, the real point here is how, regardless of Netflix or any one media distributor, Celine and her team have filmed loads of stuff at her concerts over recent years, including backstage stuff, and it has never seen the light of day. And that remains a shame.
