Title: Celine Dion
Post by: kaysha on March 25, 2003, 05:52:42 pm
so.. Celine is back and in Vegas for three years performing for thousands of people...

Some people like Celine, some don't... i for one think she has an amazing voice.  There are very few people that can touch her vocally and even on one of the VH1 shows i was watching today, Cher said she would never go on stage with Celine again as there is no competition.

Until earlier, i had forgotten about all her earlier works from 94 and 96 but she has really had an amazing and impressive career.  When you think of Celine, you think of the Titanic theme and how it was played sooo much -- but could anyone have done that song better?

Her discography is amazing, from her Celine Dion album, to The Color of My Love, to Falling Into You (one of my personal favorites)... and now her new CDs with All the Way and A New Day has Come...

Overall she seems still very down to earth, she did some huge tours during her career and I don't think I have yet to see a bad performance from her... she can harmonize, sing solo... it's very impressive.

If you aren't doing anything tonight, you should check her out on CBS Live in Vegas... I think it'll be a good show for sure, and hey, those of you that like "J. Timberlake" he's hosting it :-P

I think that's kinda cool -- i mean... she in no way needs the money.

I think she just does it because she is asked, it might be good publicity, or she is looking for something to do.

It shows she doesn't think "commercials" are beneath her.

What about random performances with Divas, and the Frank Sinatra tribute where she performed All The Way?  She does so much... it's cool

OMG I <3 Celine.
"It's All Coming Back To Me" and "the Power of Love" are two of the best songs ever recorded.

I do like her, she has a kind of stigma which means people daren't admit it when they do. i think she has an amazing voice but i think her revamped image is well to be honest, horrible. Hideous plastic surgeory but i love her anyway! heheh

I am hoping to go see Celine in Vegas. Some say why? But yes, she has an amazing voice. I saw her in 92 when she was opening for Michael Bolton, she used to just stand there and sing which was fine but. Oh yeah she was at Wango Tango last year, ahh, so great!!

I love "Unison" and "Celine"...that cd is so great. I love "Water From The Moon," "With This Tear" "If You Could See Me Know"...it is a very romantic album, but also good for a broken heart, you know that moment when you have a pity party, dark room, candles and wine....

so...I was wondering if anyone has seen her show in Vegas. I am going next week and I started to read a review and it sounds so amazing!! I stopped reading cause I want to be surprised. I am going with someone really cool too ;) so that is going to make it even more awesome!! 7th row!!

I can't wait!! Viva Las Vegas!!  :razz:

Post by: eclv on August 22, 2003, 10:03:44 am
so I have been getting ready for my concert on Wed. by listening to all my CD cd's.  :lol:  and I forogt how many great songs she had!!

I know, I know, most people either totally hate her or they like/love her.

I have a feeling this is going to be the best concert I have ever been to and I have been to a lot. I am kinda scared that I think that cause I feel my expectations are going to be too high and it not be all that everyone says it.

I wonder if she lip syncs? I mean the same show every night has got to get old and your voice tired. I guess it is like Broadway and I know she is a pro and can handle it...I hope. I will let you know.

Did I say I was excited?  :razz:

Post by: eclv on August 30, 2003, 11:05:32 am
can I just way WOW!! It was more than I expected. The entire show I was just like wow, the smile would not go away. Her voice is so amazing. I think that maybe all the dancers and things flying around is almost too much and distracts from her voice but it was just incredible. I loved it! If you guys get a chance go see it, it is worth it. I was 5 rows back instead of 7 so that was even better.

I used to listen to a lot of Celine cos my mum likes her a lot, so it was some of the first music I heard around my house. "Falling into you" was one of the first albums I used to listen to over and over when I started taking a real interest in music - could I have been 11? 12?

I'd forgotten about her for a long time but lately I've gone on a Celine high and downloaded many of the songs I used to love - esp out of Falling Into You - plus some of her stuff in French. She's amazing :)

I would love to go see Celine in Vegas again before it ends. I still need to buy the Live CD and DVD from that show.

But Nerea, old school Celine for me would have to be from her self titled album, the song "Water From The Moon." That entire album is amazing.

Fast forward almost 2 years...


OMG. Katia is the best! She just scored us 7th row center!! I am so excited!! I can't even tell you. Totally worth $200.

I said this in the Vegas thread but seriously this is going to be the best birthday celebration weekend ever and I have had a lot of birthdays!!  :D

So the latest word is "This Time" isn't gonna be the first single after all. Not sure which song is, but hopefully "This Time" will still get a chance to be a single down the road.

man you guys have GOT TO listen to "taking chances". i'm listening to it right now at promosquad.com in the jukebox, and holy shit I am incredibly surprised by how good this song is. if it's produced by Timbaland, my respect for him has just gone way up & i was already a fan of his. this song is freakin amazing and i'm not even a big fan of hers.

anyone know where i can download it??

I saw Celine's show in Las Vegas, she's a great performer. Although I was in the front row and she shaked her ass at the audience and happened to be standing infront of me at the time... and I don't really want to ever see that again. lol

He puts his pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once his pants are on, he makes gold records.

The only collaboration of his that became a big hit was Because of You by Kelly Clarkson I think, but there were like... 2 other writers involved in that besides him and David Hodges if I remember.

And I remember him working with Avril Lavigne on that song where she was like... a crack whore or something in the music video, lol. I forget, but that song didn't even crack the top 40.

I haven't been really impressed with his collaboration efforts so far, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised this time around. Doesn't he have a solo record in the works or something? What happened to that.

Oprah just said yesterday when she was on the show that Kelly wrote because of you when she was 16, I don't think she was even on american idol then. unless he helped rewrite it or something?

Kelly wrote the lyrics, but the music was ALL done by Ben & David.

Yep.  It's such a pet peeve of mine when artists like Kelly say they wrote a song, without mentioning the fact that they had help - and lots of it!  It's unfair to whomever wrote the music.   :?  Still love Kelly, but that bugs me.

That is kind of annoying. Also irritating is when people DO have co-writers, people call them the ones who "wrote the song for them". If they're listed as a co-writer, they should at least get credit for co-writing. No one can know for sure if they actually did it, but still.



On the topic of Celine Dion, I'm sure she's a great singer but I find she shows off her voice a tad too much. Christina and Mariah are also guilty of this.

This is a GREAT video of Celine recording "Alone" in the studio. It's a cover of the Heart song that will be on the new CD.
I didn't know B&D were doing 2 songs on the CD. Even more excited for it now.

And also this one has Ben doing a nice piano bit:

And today the LA Times had a nice photo and article about the new album:
