Snow-stopper: Dion dazzles lucky crowd that made it to the United Center

 

CONCERT REVIEW | Magnificent voice soars in show rescheduled from Election Day

 

December 17, 2008

BY BOBBY REED

 

Super-diva Celine Dion opened her concert Tuesday night at the United Center with a rousing rendition of Cyndi Lauper's 1989 hit "I Drove All Night." That title could serve as a hyperbolic description of motorists' long journey through the slush-filled streets to arrive at the venue during Tuesday's snowstorm.

 

The weather apparently affected attendance. Dion, 40, sang to quite a few empty seats, probably because some ticket holders who live outside Chicago chose not to battle the elements. Those who did make the trek were rewarded with vocal fireworks from one of the world's most athletic singers.

 

The show was originally slated for Nov. 4 (which happened to be Election Day), but Dion had to postpone multiple concerts because in late October she was suffering from a recurrent naso-pharyngeal infection.

 

Rescheduling the Chicago concert allowed Dion's fans to be home (or in Grant Park) for President-elect Barack Obama's historic victory speech six weeks ago. Tuesday night, Dion sincerely apologized to her fans for the show's postponement. She also praised Obama, exclaiming, "What a great president he is going to be!"

 

Dion certainly showed no signs of illness. Her magnificent voice was the star of a razzle-dazzle revue that reflected the sequin-covered aesthetic of Las Vegas, the city where she did an extended residency from 2002 to 2007. Dion was at her best on ballads like "The Power of Love," which showcased her ability to nail a note and hold it -- with her jaw trembling and her right arm thrusting in the air, but her voice remaining steady.

 

At times, the spectacle itself threatened to detract from that mighty voice. The production included seven musicians, three backing vocalists, eight dancers, several video screens, multiple costume changes and a stage consisting of ramps, moving sidewalks and sections that were raised and lowered throughout the night. It was very Vegas, baby, right down to cheesy opening act Gordie Brown, who impersonated Elvis Presley and other celebrities.

 

Dion's version of the 1976 Eric Carmen hit "All By Myself" was a show-stopper that featured stratospheric vocals and then concluded with her doing a yoga-type move reminiscent of someone dancing under a limbo bar.

 

At other times, the material wasn't on par with her powerful pipes. "Shadow of Love" and "Fade Away," both of which are from last year's "Taking Chances" CD, came across as generic light rock. Elaborate arrangements could not compensate for limp melodies here.

 

Dion and backing vocalist Barnev Valsaint, however, sang a fine duet of "I'm Your Angel," a song that was composed by and recorded with controversial R&B star R. Kelly 10 years ago.

 

Dion was at her most impressive when the music was scaled back to put the focal point on her clear, muscular voice. Some divas deserve that title due to their positive attributes. She's one of them.
