February 12, 200817 yr Many more information: A rehearsal picture!!! Love the outfit!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dionrehearsal.jpg Support Acts Jody Williams (South Africa) Yuna Ito (Japan) Il Divo (UK and Ireland) Michaël Gregorio (France and French shows in Europe Tour INfo The show will last two hours and will be divided in four segments. There will be the soul segment, the rock one, a segment where Céline Dion will act the part of a fashion-victim and another one inspired to the Gipsy, Spanish and Arab cultures. Dion will be supported by eight dancers (4 male and 4 female). Repetitions took place in December 2007 in Primm, Nevada and MGM Grand Garden Arena. The tour-settings include about twenty LED-screens, among which one that will orbit on the stage, few tapis roulants and elevators. As announced months ago, Dion taped few videos for her show. In the intro-video we will be able to see her driving high-speed. Another video will show the singer with different fashion-looks. Jamie King will join the tour on May 2, 2008 in Manchester. Before that date, the show will not be on a central scene for logistic-matters. After two months and half, Dion will rehearse again to settle the show at four sides. She and her band rehearsed about sixty tracks, both in English and French. Among those ones, about 20-25 songs will be performed in a show, according to each visited market. "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" will be performed in the whole tour. The singer will also make several new numbers and few cover-songs that she never performed on stage.[3]

February 13, 200817 yr Celine Dion hits the road for world tour By MICHAEL CIDONI, Associated Press Writer Tue Feb 12, 9:11 PM ET LOS ANGELES - Celine Dion is a musician, wife, mother and friend. ADVERTISEMENT Viewers can get a glimpse of each in "Celine Dion: That's the Woman in Me." Debuting Friday, the hour-long CBS concert special comes on the heels of Dion's five-year stint in Las Vegas, the release of her first all-new English-language studio album in three years, "Taking Chances," and the start of a world tour. "Las Vegas was such an amazing journey, but I was away from the industry for five years," Dion told Associated Press Television News in a January interview after filming "Woman" in a downtown auditorium. It appears Dion is making up for lost time. "For me to come back with a new album, introducing it through a TV special just before hitting the road again ... It never stops," said Dion. Nor, it appears, does the 39-year-old who sprints through many of her biggest hits in the special, including a duet with singer and longtime pal Josh Groban, and another with Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. She also dips into hip hop with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am. While singing with him, she displays some smooth dance moves that appear to have been picked up in Las Vegas. "I've always loved dancing very much ... But I think, with time, you feel more secure about yourself," she said. "When you mature, you just want to enjoy, you don't feel like proving to yourself." The Canadian Dion, her husband-manager René Angelil and their 7-year-old son are on the road and will be most of the year. On Thursday, Dion was scheduled to open her tour in Johannesburg, South Africa, following a promise she made to former President Nelson Mandela to perform there. Other destinations include Japan, China, Korea and the United Kingdom. Dion said concertgoers should expect surprises. "I'm keeping the best," said Dion. "In my 20s, I showed certain things. In my 30s, I showed others. I'm going to be 40 years of age. I tell you, you better buckle up!" :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
