Hi Everyone

I thought I would be able to come here and share with you all a picture right beside Céline Dion, which is something i indeed need for some kind of personal achievement and fulfillment, but again, it wasn't the right time. Eventhough it hasn't happened again, I gotta tell you I am Brazilian, and as a very good one, i never give up my dreams. I will keep on trying, and somehow, someday, i will have it realized!

Now Tatiana and I will share some of the greatest moments we've had over this trip to Las Vegas, a story, that goes on (lol):

Talking about the concert, which is definetely what really matters to all of you, I mean, our impression about it, is the best of all. Oops, Céline did it again, hey, lol, don't get me wrong!...lol... Well, Céline always goes better every year. She now started, as we have said sometime, somewhere over the news, that instead of 'Nature Boy', singing 'A new day has come', and again, I found myself into tears. The emotion it brings is unbelievable.

Thus, it was the 1st time in 6 years I was able to listen to 'Pour que tu m'aimes encore' Live, and Tati had her first time on it. As seen in 1999 in Toronto, Céline goes P E R F E C T L Y the Best performing what is still MY VERY FAVOURITE French Song. Don't ask me details on the show for this number because I flew with her magical voice and didn't even pay any attention on its details. lol. I had eyes for Céline Dion only!

The concert itself hasn't changed that much. Songs and dances are just the same, and is just what it is, the very best era of our Diva (talking about concerts).
The only things I can't forget are the facts that on Sunday, after Céline performed "Pour que tu m'aimes encore", Tati and I yelled "Eu Te Amo", which means 'I love you' in Portuguese, and she looked to the audience like trying to find who said that (a little bit surprised we mean), very after that, we did again: "Brazil loves you" and she sent us a hand-shaking expressing like "Hi there". Also, In one of the nights, during one of the speeches, we said "On t'aime Céline" (We love you Céline in French) and she answered us "Moi aussi, je vous aime" (which means "I love you too" in French)

We were able to meet some kind people again, as you can see on the pictures below:

- Michel Dion (Céline's brother). I loved the way he talked to me. It's so cool to know he remembers me after over a year. He was really cool to me and to Tati too. Talking to him for whatever minutes, was just like a lifetime... we could share quite a few moments to him. It was incredible!!!

- Élise Duguay (Céline's Backing Vocal). She's really the best girl i've EVER met on Céline's crew. She's really friendly and again, for the 3rd year, she talked to me a few words in Portuguese (my mother language). By the end of the last concert, she stopped in the middle of the stage and pointed her indicator at us. Also, in one of the days, Tati and I were walking in front of the Bellagio Hotel, and suddenly, while crossing the street, a car stopped and when we looked inside it, it was Élise doing her very best to call our attention. I will never forget it! She treated us like very old friends. (Merci notre petite fille - on éspere que tu aime notre cadeaux)

We were also able to have some pictures taken with a few dancers. All nice guys, very gentle and friendly, take a look yourself. Aaron was a little bit busy but still spent a few minutes to share some feelings with us. It was really really kind too.

We saw Mego and Paul Picard, but we didn't ask for a picture. Sometimes it's embarassing to do such a thing. lol

Ah! How could I forget? We didn't have the chance of meeting Céline Dion but she's sent through Michel (who appologized for not being able to take us backstage), two autographed pictures with our names, which was somehow a very polite and emotional way of saying 'hello my friends' of our Diva. (thank youuu)

Well, this is it. I don't have many things to share once you all know how the concert is through our previous reviews, and through many other websites and fans over the internet. Just gotta tell you Céline is still my petite fille, my diva, my reason, my everything (Besides my mom)

Find here a few more pictures on the trip:
