It was an amazing night from what i have been reading so far. Celine shared a special moment with a fan who threw a red and a white rose to her on stage.

The red one missed stage but she was able to get the white one. This was towards the end of her singing My Love when she's on her knees.

She stopped singing when she took the rose, smelled it and had a moment with the fan. She even gave her a big hug. After that she wanted to continue but she forgot what key she was in :lol: Bless her :wub:

Everything is big, energized, to a fault

For The Columbus Dispatch

 

No one could accuse Celine Dion of skimping on anything in her show, except perhaps the amount of fabric in her dresses. Everything about last night's sold-out show at Value City Arena was big: the set, the production, her voice, her gestures and her facial expressions, all of which were magnified on giant video screens.

 

Dion clearly has her act down to a science, and she moved through it without a glitch, keeping up an energetic pace for two hours and frequently punctuating both songs and her French Canadian-accented chatter with exuberant shadow-boxing moves.

 

Looking extremely fit, and wearing the highest of heels, she filled the arena with sound as she moved briskly and confidently along a series of conveyor belts, up ramps and stairs, and to the top of a piano on a stage set in the middle of the arena.

 

At the center of Dion's act, and maybe at the center of her success, is one big contradiction: She specializes in songs of vulnerability and heartache, but with her oversize voice and personality and evident confidence, she comes across as being about as vulnerable as a Mack truck.

 

Her confidence, and the soaring beauty of her voice, no matter how often used, give the audience the chance to revel in the sentiment of heartbreak without risking real pain.

 

When Dion sang the bluesy It's a Man's World, she did so from the top of what looked like a glittering wedding cake, with four male dancers far below her, leaving no doubt that the song's sentiments didn't apply to her. When she took on All by Myself, any whiff of despair was washed out by her vocal pyrotechnics.

 

Dion aimed for a wide range of music but fell into the range of the merely goofy with numbers such as We Will Rock You.

 

She was at her best in songs that used her unstoppable energy, such as the show-opening I Drove All Night.

 

A cover of Queen's The Show Must Go On even temporarily resolved the contradictions in Dion's performance: For a few minutes, she both exulted in her power over the audience and held her image up to question.
