James Bond At The Oscars
2013/02/18
4:00AM
This year’s Academy Awards will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise. During the February 24 ceremony, Adele will perform “Skyfall”, theme song from the latest James Bond movie of the same name. Los Angeles is not the only place where James Bond is celebrated. Celine also pays tribute to the famous spy in her Las Vegas show with a song medley from previous James Bond movies. Don’t you just love Celine’s rendition of “Goldfinger”, “Live and Let Die” and “Nobody Does It Better”?

Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I think its very good, I mean I haven't seen it live but I have heard it through the grapevine.
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
as much as Celine sings them quite nice - these are NOT HER SONGS. This Vegas show has a classic theme and is loaded with random covers that work well with that theme..
And every newstopic is used to promote this show! This topic is about Adele singing Skyfall at the Oscar's but you try to sell the Vegas show once more to us. Please not whole the world is about Vegas. Understand there is a very very big part of Celine's fans that want Celine to sing her own songs.Not just some random covers. Why is Celine's career with beautiful amazing songs, so neglected in favor of these random covers? Understand that there are more songs in Celine's repertoire apart from my heart will go on, power of love and because you loved me. Please consider changing this setlist that is not about "Celine" at all.

I agree with Immortality
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I totally agree with Immortality. Celine should sing her own songs and forget about those covers.
I would love her to sing the following songs:
On traverse un miroir
D'amour ou d'amitie
Fais ce que tu voudras
Comment t'aimer
En amour
Je ne veux pas
Mon ami m'a quittee
Where does my heart beat now
If we could start over
Have a heart
L'amour existe encore
If you asked me to
If you could see me now
Beauty and the beast
Water from the moon
Think twice
When I fall in love
Love doesn't ask why
Just walk away
Falling into you
Make you happy
Dreamin' of you
I love you
I don't know
Call the man
Your light
Immortality
Tell him
Miles to go
Let's talk about love
Be the man (Japanese version)
Where is the love
En attendant ses pas
Another year has gone by
The magic of christmas day
I'm your angel
That's the way it is
If walls could talk
Then you look at me
I want you to need me
Live
I'm alive
A new day has come
Goodbye's the saddest word
The greatest reward
In his touch
One heart
Stand by your side
Naked
I know what love is
Je t'aime encore (English version)
Tout l'or des hommes
Rien n'est vraiment fini
Contre nature
Ma nouvelle france
You and I
Ain't gonna look the other way
Je ne vous oublie pas
Tous les secrets
Sous le vent
I believe in you
Et s'il n'en restait qu'une
Immensite
A cause
Je cherche l'ombre
Le tempts qui compte
Taking chances
Alone
My love
Surprise surprise
This time
A world to believe in
Fade away
Map to my heart
The reason I go on
There comes a time
Dance with my father
Parler a mon pere
Qui peut vivre sans amour
Une chance qu'on s'a
La mer et l'enfant
Celle qui m'a tout appris
Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour
Si je n'ai rien de toi
Que toi au monde
Les jours comme ca
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
Amen to that Ditmoi.
I totally agree with you.
I love Surprise Surprise.
I'm sure i'll be joining you immediately if your dream set list come true.
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I realize that some people may enjoy that medley, but I simply don't like it. (Even if it's cute to have RC playing a little James Bond!) I have so many Céline songs I would love to hear, and would hope that she would consider replacing all of the covers with songs that she has from her own repertoire. I would buy a plane ticket this very minute if I thought that she was adding Think Twice, J'attendais, Surprise Surprise, Shadow of Love, and so many others that are like hidden gems in her past albums. I would love a French medley of songs written for her by Jean-Jacques Goldman. Seriously, that is what I want to hear, and I don't think I'm alone in that thought.
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I agree with immortality too, Celine is the best, I love Celine by yours song and your voice, everything tha Celine sing is perfect, but I want to hear yours music.
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I am sorry, but I don't agree with the ones that say that Celine should stick to her songs. I love her James Bond Medley and I wish she would sing the 60's Cilla Black's hit song Your My Word. I have grown tired of her hit songs. As a person that's been following Celine's career since 1981, I can say I love when she tries other artists' songs. Immortality, you are extremely limited in your thinking and if we follow your logic, only Chinese should eat rice and only Mexicans should eat tacos. Your comment is basically ridiculous.
Also, don't use all upper case when you type because it is rude and the equivalent of screaming.
I really like Justin's idea of a Broadway musical medley.
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
Dear Team Celine,
I have to agree with Immortality Federica and Javier.
Celine is the best singer in the world.
She have 3 decade of songs to choose and yet this boring covers get the limelight.
If the show have changes moving forward, I hope she sang 85% her own song.
Here are few of my suggestion:
Then you look at me
S'il suffisait d'aimer
I surrender
Je ne vou oublie pas
That's the way it is
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
Dear Céline, what about the Broadway Classics medley? If you like to sing covers, please add to your Vegas show some of the greatest musical masterpieces (Memory, Don't Cry For Me Argentina, Somewhere, I Dreamed A Dream etc.) instead of performing a song medley from previous James Bond movies for so long. It's a really good idea I think!!! xxx
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I like the medley of James Bond, Celine perform a wonderful performance.
I love Rolling In The Deep, Celine sings this song incredibly, but Celine has wonderful music, so I think the music of Adele should leave the show.
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
Agree with immortality. When Céline, René and her official website are going to realize that her fans just want to hear her sing HER OWN SONGS and not those random covers?
What's the point of all these 30 years of career and all the CDs she has sold, if she does not perform the songs included in them, the songs that fans wanted to buy in her albums?
Hush now... I see a light in the sky! A New Day Will Come
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I agree with @immortality,
Celine should sing her own songs because her songs are the best ever!!!!!<3<3
Re: James Bond At The Oscars
I HATE THE JAMES BOND MEDLEY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CELINE GOES ON SINGING THOSE STUPID COVERS (INCLUDING "ROLLING IN THE DEEP" AND ALL THE COVERS SHE SINGS). SHE SHOULD SING HER OWN SONGS AND STOP SINGING OTHER ARTISTS' SONGS.
DON'T TAKE ME WRONG I LOVE "ROLLING IN THE DEEP" BUT THAT SONG BELONGS TO ADELE
CELINE DION SHOULD SING SONGS BY CELINE DION
ADELE SHOULD SING SONGS BY ADELE
MADONNA SHOULD SING SONGS BY MADONNA
EVERY ARTIST SHOULD SING HIS/HER OWN SONGS.
