Celine Dion’s Concert was a Bust
Celine Dion performed in Texas a couple weeks ago and I must tell you it was a complete rip off. She was more than an hour late and had so many wardrobe changes that it was completely ridiculous and distracting. The concert lasted maybe an hour of actual singing. The wardrobe changes lasted a separate hour. In comparison to a major superstar such as Tina Turner who also took a lot of wardrobe changes during her concert, there was entertainment in the midst of her changes. There was never a dull moment during Tina’s concert, but Celine didn’t know what the hell she was doing. She is apparently allowing her ego get the best of her. You don’t pay to come see a singer change clothes so often that it delays the concert 10 to 15 minutes in between each couple songs. How boring is that? I don’t care what the hell she is wearing. I came to see her perform and sing and if you can’t do that without changing your clothes then you are not a real performer.
Don’t get me wrong. Celine Dion can sing. She just can’t put on a good show. She is so full of herself and her clothes that she loses contact with her audience. I wouldn’t be surprised if people got up and left and she wouldn’t even notice. She likes herself and I guess that’s all that matters. She shouldn’t waste people’s time then. She should perform for herself in the mirror and leave it at that. Make records but don’t do concerts. No one cares how skinny you really are. No one cares how hot you think you are. And no one cares how badly you can dance. We do care if you can sing though so please Celine, do that in the future. Try just singing. A real entertainer will be able to capture an audience’s attention by singing and connecting to those who are listening through their heart and not their clothes or stage production.
