She has such a creative team that creates perfection in every single way!
The shows started at 20.30 and about 18 000 fans started to freak out when they saw the I Drove ALl Night Intro video on the three huge monitors...
Then she apperaed with a big grinch smile on her face and started to sing I Drove All Night!
Then the song directly turned into The Power of Love.
After that song she welcomed the fans and started to talk about the past where she had been to Germany and that she luved to record some German songs when she was 14 and could not even speak any English.
Of course she started a little accapella version of "Was Bedeute Ich Dir?" (D'amour ou D'amité German Version) and everybody started to scream out loud... She said that she luvs to be in Germany after such a long time in LAs Vegas and that she and her family do enjoy every second of being here (living in Berlin for about 3 weeks). She greeted her Mum then who was sitting in the audience with Céline's husband and then she went on with Taking Chances, It's All Coming Back To Me Now / Because You Loved Me and the wonderful violine version of To Love You More!
The flamenco section started with some dancers while Céline changer her outfit during some seconds only...
She sang Eyes On Me and then one of the show highlights followed. It was All By Myself that gained a big round of applause. The fans did not stop to cheer and applaude during the song because Céline did hold all the high notes for so long - it was brilliant!
Afterwards she performed a remix of I'm Alive with funny dance scenes and two more songs off Taking Chances. She performed the dutes I'm Your Angel and The Prayer. She did the only french song for that night afterwards Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore, It was brilliant because we all know that it is one of Céline's fave songs and the most successful french single (and d'eux most successful french album) of all time!
The best part of the show came then... Céline introduced My Love and made it a very special performance by starting the song very slowly and move on faster, she was really touched by the reaction of the audience that did not stop clapping for minutes - she had tears in her eyes and said Dankeschön for a hundert times.
She did some conver songs then We Will Rock You, It's A Man's Man's World annd The Show Must Go On which she was singing together with the audience.
She "ended" the show with Love Can Move Mountains (the only song that could be replaced in my eyes) and went off stage...
Of course we all knew that she would come out to sing hert fave River Deep Mountain High and My Heart Will Go On (which sold about 2,4 mio. copies in Germany alone)... IT WAS A BRILLIANT NIGHT...
The sound was amazing, the dancers were, her costumes looked gorgeous and she was in a really good mood because the audience stood up/jumped around and sand a long with her - she really was touched, you could see it in her eyes!
The merchandise articles were amazing aswell, I bough the toorbook (which is the greates I have ever seen), the taking chances cover poster and the taking chances key ring... I wanted to have one of her takign chances world tour t shirts but they only had female sized
I might buy it from team céline though! AN AMAZING NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
