Celine Dion

I came back from my last location just in time to see Celine Dion live in Kuala Lumpur. I had the amazing privilege of watching her perform live at the Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas a few years ago so I was not only excited to see her perform again but also interested to see how this show compared to her one in Vegas. I remember I lined up for two and a half hours and when I got to the counter they only had 1 ticket left. It was expensive but worth it.

Her voice, was amazing from beginning to end. No questions or doubts about that. But I don't know why she only wore one costume for the whole show except for the last song, her undisputed hit song, "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie Titanic. And that costume did not flatter her at all.

Exactly the same thing happened here as it did in Las Vegas where even though she has said good night, no one wanted tro leave cause she had not sung that song yet. When she came back on in a stunning yellow evening dress with glittering belt, the crowd went wild! In Vegas I think she wore a white dress for this song.

Her dancers were great but I don't think the choreography suits the songs. And Celine can't really dance. She always seems a bit off time, but I forgive all of that for her fantastic and consistent vocal performace.

I think Stadium Putra at Bukit Jalil would have been a better venue. I watched the show sitting on a wet banquet chair which had been placed out on the wet and slightly muddy field.

In terms of stage design, costume changes and visual effects, the Las Vegas show was a million times better. But so it should be, they don't have to transport all the equipment all over the place. Last night's concert was really watered down, but I will say it agin, her voice was fantastic.

After the show, I was completely starving so went to a very noisy warung near my house where everyone's eyes were totally focused on the tv cause there was football game on.

I have no idea who was playing who. I'm not into football.

I ordered my usual Tandoori chicken and bungkus balik some for Lord Derbyshire. He was so happy!

In less than 24 hours, I will be gone again, but this is our last location shoot and then we go on our short break before we start the next round of shooting. We should be launching it in a few weeks!
