New Las Vegas residency show!

[scielle]

In your own words, you were "convinced" something was happening. That is not just expressing "a feeling expectation and desire".

No, my words were expressing speculation. A theory and conjecture. And speculation does not a rumour make.

 

Does it need to be reported by tabloids or shoddy websites to become a rumour? No. Did it have any confirmed, factual basis? No.

 

No, but it does need to be purported by someone as fact. And I don't believe - to my knowledge, at least - it ever was.

 

Anyway, guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

 

And by the way, I stand by the theory. Several Sony Premium Content projects ended up on Netflix, I believe. And if it's not this upcoming doc, then I think it'll eventually be something else.

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 hope we get to see a clip of Adele saying this on YouTube!

From the reviews I've read, Adele did at least 30 minutes of talking during her 2 hour show. She's like Celine in that way... she loves to talk. And she was nervous.

I haven't been following, but what was Ceasar's cell phone policy?

A rumour becomes a rumour once it is purported by someone as fact? That makes no sense.

 

Anyway, did Adele sing "Rumour Has It" at her Vegas show?

I don't think they / Adele seemed to care very much... there are tons of people taking videos / photos from what I've seen on YouTube.

[scielle]

So first it was hope, now it's speculation

It was always both -

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

 

A rumour becomes a rumour once it is purported by someone as fact? That makes no sense.

 

It makes all the sense in the world. Otherwise it's mere speculation.

I see now there are plenty of videos on YT. Looks good!

Still, there's a definite tinge of sadness seeing Celine supplanted in the house that she built.

Agreed... it hasn't bothered me with other artists who have performed there since Celine exited. But seeing Adele perform there brings a surreal feeling. Part of me wishes Celine would return to the Colosseum instead of RW. But I also know how important it is to change things up. (I don't really understand the business side of everything.) I just hope Celine's show at RW feels as cozy and warm and elegant and well done as Adele's looks. She really took her time to make sure it felt right.

Or Bellagio. But I don't think they have a suitable theatre? (There's the O venue, of course, but don't think they have space to construct something else, even if they wanted to?)

RW is just so...underwhelming. Perhaps that end of the strip will be revived in years to come, but as of my last visit late last year, it didn't strike me as worthy of Celine.

Fontainbleau is slated to open just north of Resorts World in Q4 2023. Based on the renderings, it seems much more inviting than RW, and it will have a theatre specifically designed for residencies. We don't know who will operate it yet, but if it turns out to be AEG, I wonder if there's a slight chance Celine would do it there. It just happens to open a month-or-two after the tour ends. Fontainbleau is bright and contemporary with a beachy vibe, and a lot of blue and gold. The reputation of the brand is derived from their Miami Beach property which is luxurious and iconic. I'd much rather see Celine deliver this show at FB.

 

That said, having been a part of the design of Resorts World Theatre and being a "partner" with RW, this is probably unrealistic. Nonetheless, having FB open on the North end of the strip will probably improve the appeal of RW.

The theatre looks a bit more like a nightclub. I wonder how they plan to modify it for all-seated concerts.

Yes, glad to see FB is actually happening, given how many false starts and ownership changes it went through for over 15 years. The story behind it is truly something worthy of a book. The drama!

 

Their Miami Beach location seems quite run down (though admittedly I only experienced it from the outside), but I'm curious to see what they do with the LV space.

[smw]

I think it's all working out for the best... I think Celine returning to Vegas in 2021 would have been far too soon.

Her returning at a later date will give that end of the strip time to spruce up a bit.

And when she returns, she will have actually been away for a while and it will feel like a real comeback for her and for audiences.

Between numbers, she did crowd work (“Where have all you lot been?” she asked a few latecomers. “Have you been at a pool party?”), cracked expletive-laden jokes and confided some personal asides. “I feel like Celine Dion,” she said with a laugh, invoking the godmother of the Caesars Palace residency. “That’s the only reason I wanted to sing in here, was because of her.” Dion pioneered the 21st-century Vegas pop star residency when, in 2003, she began her career-spanning four-year blockbuster, “A New Day.”

Now I do believe that Adele has More $$$ in production that Celine did , That's why it looks more like home

[nuts2you]

now I'm also wonder what kind of $$ would she get to produce a show like Adele , we do know that she getting paid way more then the queen a show

[smw]

I wonder if Adele will expand beyond 5 months. Seems like a short amount of time (compared to a lot of residencies) for such an endeavor. I know she’s all about her home life / personal life / starting new chapters.

Surely Celine will go see Adele's show, once he's well enough / back out in the public eye?

[smw]

From Billboard:

 

"Celine Dion has become synonymous with the lush Caesars Palace venue."

 

It's so true...

This was definitely inspired by Celine's Immortality performance... 😍😍😍

Has anyone been into Caesar's recently? I am not the authority whatsoever, but the interior, decor, fixtures (etc.) seem a bit worse for wear and dated to me now from the photos I have seen.

Here's the clip of Adele namechecking Celine:

I wish Celine had never left Caesars

So do I. I mentioned this a while back but I knew Caesar's like the back of my hand. I had the time of my life there, stalking, umm, waiting for the band and waiting for her car.

[KyleVan41]

I love Adele for doing that.

I get a lot of Celine vibes from Adele's new show. Especially of the early years of "Celine" (down to the walking the isles during the show). Reading that she went to CP because of Celine makes me think her show may have a lot of Celine inspiration (the orchestra, rain effect, intimate moment w/ her back-up singers & pianist, audience broadcast on screens during sing along like what Celine did during "Imagine" at BST which Adele was at).

 

The upgrades to the Colosseum look really good. It's a little sad to see someone else be the star of the theater but it was an inevitability.

 

RW may not feel like Celine's theater now but when she finally starts to perform there, imo, her presence & stardom will make it "home" and give it the notoriety that she gave the Colosseum.

[ryba]

Did you notice that Adele is wearing no shoes on stage? That´s hilarious, like she´s walking around her house lol Maybe she got scared after she heared what happened to Celine.

By the way, the Colosseum looks so small here in this video. Adele is so close to the audience! In the videos of Celines show the venue appeared so much bigger! This guy on the left is so annoying with his smartphone. He is doing his own show right before Adele lol

the visuals are very good! It´s a shame they didn´t use the full potential that this venue offered for the Celine show
