Most of us were excited and anxious for Celine's performance. A few ticks after 9pm, some music started with various colourful lightings moving and flickering. Indeed, there were plenty of cheers when Celine came on stage with her first song, Fade Away, a single from Taking Chances album. Then came the ballad, Power of Love which almost everyone was singing along. We were on tour with her, as noted by the song bird. It was followed by Taking Chance and It's All Coming Back To Me Now before she headed for a change of her costume. I found myself singing along with most of her classic songs though I haven't listened to some of them for a long time and realised that I lost some of my voice like 40 minutes into her performance!! Yep, I'm a such a noob!!
Celine who just turned 40 on 30 Mar 2008 was as energetic as before. Her voice is as strong, or stronger, live! She is traveling and performing for the first time as a daughter to her 81 years old mom and mother to her 7 years old Rene-Charles.
A rendition of the ever popular We Will Rock You was performed too to get the crowd going. She paid special tribute to Freddy Mercury and Queen with the classic hit, The Show Must Go On! It's certainly a song everyone was able to sing along!
Other hits include the following:
Because You Loved Me
I'm Your Angel - another classic duet with one of her supporting singers
All By Myself - Eric Carmen's power ballad, featuring her glass-shattering note
Alone - new
My Love - new; emotional song of which started off with vocal only
River Deep Mountain High - Ike and Tina Turner
Shadow of Love - new
[I've got to admit there were a few songs that I couldn't recall the titles and/or not familiar with]
The encore was My Heart Will Go On but I think it's more like it's been planned with her simple yet elegant Roman-like dress with a glittering belt.
I'm glad I took this chance to be "on tour" with her!! And it feels even better that this Concert is my first ever live concert experience!!!
Certainly, this first will be forever etched in my memory!
Celine ROCKS Melbourne again after 12 years!!
No pics since no camera or recording media explicitly banned though I've seen lots of flashes! How I wish I have a small compact camera hidden some where in my pockets! Oh well.....
