text: I am not a big fan of Celine I know she can really sing but I am a fan of songwriters So when I see someone like her raking in the money for music she did not write I feel like I am supporting the idea that it is better to be pretty than creativennMy parents wanted to see this show and I love the Forum Theater and so I said what the hell Was I ever in for a surprise Apparently Celine knows that her personal music can only get her so far and so she created an evening touching upon every hit worth hearing combined with a smart collection of covers To reveal the covers would really ruin your experience and so I will say she really did something for everyonennThe production values of the show have no challenger Honest Cirque O might have better production values but that is an underwater circus where this is only supposed to be a babe and her pipes in concert Again I do not want to spoil but I would hazard to say James Cameron would not fall asleep during this technologically elaborate shownnI think the best way I can approach a review here is to discuss what did not work Understand there was not much that missed Lighting staging orchestra solo singers costumes everything was beyond top notch Seriously nnOne thing that was lacking was the Stevie Wonder song It was too vanilla a choice I would cut it entirely and replace it with a tribute to Donna Summer using the same special effect Perhaps ENOUGH IS ENOUGH as a duet It would be really touching because we just lost Donna too soon She was so deserving of a Caesars Palace show of her own Not to mention Celine could steal a little thunder from BabsnnAnother minor misfire was the Carole King song which was not a classic oldie but instead a merely run of the mill modern composition for Dion It did not suck but if you were not told it was Carole King you would never guess it Off that same Celine album is a far better song called Immortality written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees The song only grows on you each time you hear it Go find it on YouTube if you have never heard it Find the track where Celine sings it with themnnCome to think of it I was not a big fan of the French song I do not mind the idea of French lyrics but it seemed terribly melodramatic A bit overwrought though I will grant it was perfectly performednnThe rest of the show was amazing From online sources I have learned Celine pulled TWO Michael Jackson songs That is smart Firstly Ben and Man In The Mirror were weak choices Worse I kind of feel Celine has an issue with stealing thunder I especially got this feeling bad during the Adele cover I am like look let her have THAT song okay It is her signature song Would Celine like it if Adele did the Titanic song every performance I did not think so So having the three soloists do the Jackson tribute was far more clever and generous to his memorynnOtherwise one of the best shows I have ever seen Or will ever see And again I am not even that big a fan of Celine But I know I became a bigger fan
