Her socials just posted about the L’Oréal sponsorship… and not a thing about her being in Paris like the worlds media are covering… another huge red flag! 🙄

What a s*** show!

Sweet Lord. No picture or video of her with the fans to say ‘I’m back…’

One of the cards was signed from John. I’m guessing Celine’s manager… well HBD Dee.. maybe she gets the night off from doing the bun, and Celine’s hair will be down 🤣 

I just wonder what he meant by they all wouldn't be there without her.

CTV has been  showing clips of her arrival and today clips of her interaction at the hotel  singing PQTME with fans. If the news can do this here in Canada, then her own social media team certainly can.

Dee booked the flight and cars then?!? 🤣

For those not attending opening night, will you guys spoil everything as soon as it comes out on the media or will you wait for your concert?

I’m going on September 18, so I’ll have a week of no social media 

[Shamrock_1982]

I think a certain group will do that anyway…

I intend in doing a few videos but not live

I’m gonna assume there will be live streams somewhere. With 40k people that’s highly likely one does it.

This youtube channel has live-streaming scheduled for every show.

Can we complain to anyone about this..: is there literally nobody’s ear we can grab about this terrible social media presence.

It’s literally worse than it’s ever been. Totally detached and random.

The sad part is,  it had moments where it looked up… like they were becoming more trendy and consistent… then to this. 🙄😠

[stevo]

Especially when this should be such a massive opportunity on social media to show and document her coming back- from being so desolate in the Doc to singing in front of the hotel with her fans….but what do we know?? 🫠

They just posted a “10 days til Paris” story. 😂 

what version of PQTME is that?

Sounds like the demo version released on the D’Eux 25th anniversary edition.

They’re watching! 😆🫢

It’s a start;  they at least did something but still no mention if Celine’s in Paris or at Chuck E Cheese. 

[Del]

Then let’s manifest into the universe a daily countdown where they get creative. Perhaps even one day they can use the crowd at the hotel to do a daily countdown.

Celine’s manager John follows these Celine fan accounts so he definitely sees stuff…

 

Well, if they all post the same thing at the same time. It could get interesting.

The bullet points of that article about show.

🏟️ 16 Paris shows beginning September 12.

⏱️ Around 2 hours long.

🎨 Willo Perron is designing the show.

🏗️ Scenography described as “monumental and architectural.”

❤️ Despite its scale, the show is supposed to feel intimate AND spectacular.

🎬 Show structured into different acts/sections.

📺 Large screens/video structures are major elements of the staging.

🎥 Videos and several short films will separate/introduce different acts.

🎤 Céline herself—her voice and presence—is intended to remain the focus rather than spectacle overwhelming her.

🎪 No circus-style production like A New Day…: no huge dance company/Cirque du Soleil-style performers.

🎸 Approximately a dozen musicians, rather than a symphony orchestra.

🎹 Scott Price is musical director and responsible for arrangements.

🔊 Denis Savage is involved with the production.

🇬🇧🇫🇷 Setlist mixes English and French.

🌎 Because this is considered Céline’s “return for the world,” there will be MORE English songs than usual for a Paris show.

🆕 Some songs will be performed live for the first time.

🎵 Expected to include one or two new French singles, with Goldman/Ycare material specifically mentioned.

🔄 The show/setlist can evolve during the residency rather than necessarily remaining identical every night.

🎶 Final number/order of songs was still being worked out when the article was written.

🎭 Opening-act question apparently wasn’t completely settled when the article went to press. But now confirmed as NO.

💿 No CD/DVD holiday release currently planned, despite previous rumors.

🎥 BUT the article explicitly says all Céline concerts are recorded in audio and video, so the performances should still be captured.

📹 That doesn’t guarantee a commercial concert film, but there should be recordings.

🔒 Final Paris rehearsals are taking place at Plenitude Arena after months of preparation/rehearsal in Las Vegas.

I wonder how much of this Paris show will look like what they had “planned” for the RW residency that never came to pass. We will never know but part of me thinks Celine use some of the ideas she had then. Especially with the “CLEAN but spectacular” description, Celine herself called the RW show just that in that phone interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal she did the summer before the show was canceled.

The bit about songs being performed for the first time is so exciting! So it will be a GH show with a few hidden gems here and there.

Don’t get too excited yet. This could just be a sneaky way of talking about the new singles being part of the show. Technically, those haven’t been performed live yet. However, I’d be thrilled if we surprisingly get live cuts of songs like: “Cherche encore,” “Then You Look At Me,” or “Les jours comme ça.”

Yeah I think they mean the new singles that haven’t been performed yet… we also have songs like “Love Again” that haven’t seen the stage…yet. 
 

but I hope it’s rare gems too.. but I fail to see how they’ll hit those in. She needs to cover greatest hits of 2 languages, in less than 2 hours and we all know the dreaded RDMH/LCMM medley will be there and we know there will be at least one cover of John Farnham. 

[celine2199]

So it's almost certain that they won't release this show officially, at least not in the next two years.

It's obvious that they will be using this same production for the following residencies in Montreal or Singapore or Vegas. 

If they release the show this year on Blu-ray or streaming, it will definitely affect the ticket sales of the upcoming residencies in other cities. 

I guess after Rene, Team Céline's strategy has always been: Wanna see Celine?Go buy tickets! DVD releases are out of the question! 😫😫😫
