Here are some changes that I
noticed from the show and also a list of
the songs Celine sang. The songs that haven't
changed I will just
list. I went to the show tonight June 26, 2003. I got to the Colosseum
and when I was finding my seat I spotted my two usher friends. I had
to sit down to talk with them because people were coming to sit down
and I was in other peoples seats, so I would have to get up and move
to another chair. Well I had moved about five times when I finally
got to this one particular seat and a few minutes passed and someone
comes up to me and says these are our seats it was Franco Dragone and
a friend of his. I said, "Hello Franco, sorry about that" and I touched
his shoulder when he sat down. The show was getting ready to start so
I went to my seat.
Celine opened with There Was A Boy . The Power Of Love, It's All Coming
Back To Me Now, Because You Loved Me, and To Love You More. Then Celine
gave a speech about how she couldn't believe
the show was into its
third month. Only six months before she said they were checking the
theater out and trying every single chair, rocking in them and getting
them warmed up for us. I'm Alive came next and this song is the one
that has the city theme,? New York style. There are buildings and on
one of them there is a billboard that shows Celine on it and all of
the footage is live. Seduces Me at the end she cracks up laughing
and can't stop giggling (very cute). If I Could instead of the three
girls swinging they now only have one and she looks like an angel
sleeping, because she keeps her eyes closed the whole time and she
has white and yellow wings.
The man that rides across on the stage now ?
oflys??in the air with his
bike.
For those who watched the Oprah show the suit that has those red papers
coming out of the collar of the suit is used in this song with a live
man in it's place. When seen on stage it looks like a rose blooming.
Have You Ever Been In Love the cathedral encompasses Celine on the
screen. At Last, Fever, and World On A string? this one I'm not sure
if I didn't notice it before but at the end of the song lots of
different colored theater curtains open up and the last one opens to
the audience. I surrender she wears a charcoal evening dress with
black see-through lace at the bottom. The dress is cut in the middle
and looks like an upside down V-shape by her leg. This dress does not
complement Celine I like the original blue dress. She has to wear a
harness for the next song First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and the
harness is very visible through the dress, unlike the blue dress she
looked like a beautiful flying angel. When she is wearing this charcoal
dress she does not wear any shoes. Ammore Annascunnuto she doesn't
sing the whole song only half of it. The first part is instrumental
violin, xylophone, and accordion players are on stage. Je T'aime
Encore a huge white sheet covers the whole stage, the sheet signifies
a piece of paper that is used to translate everything Celine is singing
in French. I Wish, Love Can Move Mountains, I Drove All Night, My Heart
Will Go On, sound effects are used when the moon comes out, but it
doesn't match the theme it sounds like something from a scary movie.
Celine made another speech she said there was a girl in the audience
that reminded her of when she was twelve and first starting in showbiz.
She was very nervous when she had to go on stage, but Rene told her
the stage is your home and you are singing for your brothers and
sisters. The show ended with What A Wonderful World. They took out
Celine's kissing giraffes.
I also went backstage tonight. I met some people I didn't know about,
like a few more of Celine's bodyguards and a women I constantly see,
I call her the Celine double and I found out today it is one of her
sisters. I passed the room where I saw a man and my guide told me that
was Rene's brother. I told her I wanted to see him and so I took a
peak into the room, said "hi" and left. Then as I was leaving I heard
him ask the lady that was in the room with him who is that and he said
wait. He said let me fix my hair, I told him Hello and we talked a
little he said would you like to take a picture, I said "Yes" and we
did. I thanked him and he said "No problem." I saw the female dancers
dressing room, the wardrobe room and I couldn't help myself I reached
out and touched Celine?Ts sequenced dress that she sings with in My
Heart Will Go On. I passed her dressing room the door was closed and
Celine was still inside her bodyguards were waiting for her outside.
I saw the work out room where Celine does her Yoga. I got a cookie box
from one of the gift baskets and I ate some when I was there. There
is a billboard that has newspaper clippings of the opening night show
from various magazines and newspapers. My tour was over I got to keep
my pass as a souvenir. Bye for now and don't forget to dream big
because dreams really can become reality.
