 The worst DVD ever July 19, 2008
This DVD is just so bad.
Whatever you do, don't buy this.
If you're willing to spend some hard earned cash on a product worthwhile, then purchase Dennis Wilson's 'Pacific Ocean Blue'.
CELINE DION - WHY is she so famous? July 10, 2008

...........CELINE DION - why is she so famous?
Celine has beocme one of the divas on the 20th century, with her song "It's All Coming Back To Me Now", and her Titanic hit, "My Heart Will Go On", that even shed our macho image.
Celine Dions Sexiness
Celine Dion doesn't exactly inspire male fantasies in the same way fellow Canadian Pamela Anderson does, but she has her own unique look that some men (besides Richard Simmons) like.
Celine Dion's SUCCESS:
With all the Grammy Awards, audiences with heads of states, millions of albums sold, number one singles, and countless fans, Celine has proven her worth and her place in pop music history
NEWS & GOSSIP:
Celine Dion's shoe obsession - she owns around 3,000 pairs of shoes, and admits shopping is one of her favourite hobbies.
CELINE's biography:
Biography
Celine Dion started in a rural French Canadian hometown called Charlemagne in the province of Quebec. She is the youngest of 14 children in a highly musical family. The family owned a small local club, and on weekends, all the family entertained the local population. Celine was only five years old when she started performing in front of an audience. By the age of twelve, the bright young talent composed a French song with her brother and mother, which forever changed the course of her life.
That's when Rene Angelil (her current Husband) and respected talent agent, heard the song and saw a bright future for the young singer. In January of 1981, Rene was really taken by Celine's voice and decided to mortgage his house to finance her debut album.
The steak of recognition started in 1982 when she won the Gold Medal at the Yamaha World Song Festival in Tokyo as well as the coveted Musician's Award for Top Performer. In 1983, Celine became the first Canadian to receive a Gold Record in France.
Celine was hitting it big in her native province of Quebec, where she received numerous Felix Awards and racking up many platinum albums. During the year of 1988, she also won the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin Ireland, where she performed live in front of a 600 million television audience throughout Europe.
Celine was known everywhere throughout the world and when she recorded the title track for the soundtrack to the animated Disney hit movie Beauty and the Beast, she had reached the huge American market. The song quickly climbed up the charts to number one and garnered both an Academy Award and a Grammy Award. Her second English language album, called Celine Dion produced four more hit singles and the album went six times platinum in Canada, which set the way for an incredible streak of Juno Awards- the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy Awards.
In the mean time Celine became extremely popular in the UK with the song Think Twice, which remained number one on the charts of the British charts for five consecutive weeks. This was a great achievement as The Beatles had set the benchmark in 1965. Celine became the fourth female artist ever to sell a million singles in the UK. She even introduced French music to the upper British charts, the song D'eux caught the world by storm and allowed the world to find out about her.
With one of music's greatest voices, Celine has crossed practically every barrier and has conquered the world with a series of electrifying international hits. She dedicated all her time and efforts touring, appearing on TV shows, receiving awards and attending special events. However, Celine still has time to support the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in memorial of her niece, Karine, who was passed away from the disease.
The success story doesn't stop here. In 1996, Falling Into You became the best selling album of the year, it topped the charts in 11 countries and was voted Album of the Year and Best Pop Album in the 39th annual Grammy Awards. As of today, the album recorded sales of more than 25 million copies worldwide. Her follow-up album was Let's Talk About Love, it featured popular music from other great vocalists, songwriters, and producers. It was also released on the soundtrack of the motion picture Titanic, which was an unprecedented success. The most popular song was My Hearth Will Go On, written by James Horner and produced by James Warner and Walter Afanasieff. The Titanic soundtrack sold over 27 million copies worldwide and became the best-selling orchestral soundtrack in recording history. The song also pocketed an Oscar for Best Original Song; the second Oscar for a song performed by Celine.
Celine recorded many albums ranging from These Are Special Times featuring sixteen holiday songs, to a greatest hit album including her chart-topping hit single The Power of Love, and a collection of seven new songs. These songs struck gold once again and Celine has been called the premier contemporary pop vocalist of the nineties and earned her the status of international superstar. She recently re-married her longtime agent in a fancy Las Vegas Hotel and decided to take a year off to spend some time with Rene and start a family.

I saw this concert, or at least an edited version, on TV recently and decided to purchase the DVD. I was not disappointed. The main show is spectacular and the extra features equally entertaining. Celine Dion comes across as a genuinely nice person, not at all "diva", despite her supreme talent.The only minor niggle is that the sound level is lower than on most DVDs which might be a problem on portable players/PCs. Highly recommended
 not as good as the concert from memphis April 23, 2008
I'm a big fan of celine dion as a singer and there is no doubt when she's at her best she is the best.However the quality of her singing in this show from las vegas is not as good as it can be and nowhere near as good as her singing on the vhs recording of her live performance from Memphis Tennessee.Many of celine's fans wil tell you the Memphis concert is her best ever performance and I would agree with them - she sings lots of the songs that are featured in this las vegas show but more tunefully and with more commitment and punch ( perhaps because memphis was a one-off event and more like fun than work for her!).And the mix of songs is just right in the memphis concert with lots of good dancing,and joking around with her band and singers and the audience thrown in for good measure.This las vegas show is is visually spectacular but often not as spectacular as it was meant to be because at times the lighting on dancers is so poor it's difficult to see them.There are two discs and I think many people will be satisfied with buying them because of the large amount of bonus material.But if you want to hear celine singing at her best get hold of a copy of the concert from memphis.It's on vhs and hasn't been put on dvd yet which is astonishing considering how good it is.
