If you were one of the handful of folks who missed Céline Dion's mega-run in Las Vegas, fear not: Céline Dion: A New Day is a riveting, sumptuous front-row seat to the whole extravagant experience. As concert DVDs go, this is a show of a lifetime, nearly six hours featuring not only no-expenses-spared production values and every song from Dion's famed show, but priceless extras as well. Dion's substantial voice is in fine form, and sparkles on signature tunes like "A New Day Has Come," "The Power of Love," and of course the theme from Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On" (and Dion-watchers will note that she's thankfully dialed back the breast-beating that used to accompany this song). But as impressive as the performances are--and they include the talented gymnasts, dancers, and backup singers who work as a Cirque du Soleil-style ensemble--the set's most memorable moments are found in the personal footage and extras. Dion comes across as truly humble and approachable, with a wicked sense of humor and real compassion for her hard-working staff and her fans. There are sweet, intimate moments of Dion with her husband and son, as well as telling scenes that show her true resourcefulness (girlfriend does her own makeup!). The many docs include one on the building of her special theater and the building of the show from the ground up. "If you're going to gamble," says Dion's manager and husband, René Angélil, "Vegas is the place to do it." Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. --A.T. Hurley |

Queen of lipsynching extravaganza |
First of all, I am (well, was) a big big Celine Dion Fan.
The reason why I am giving this DVD a low rating is that fact (not an assumption, fact) that Celine Dion is lipsynching a significant part of her show (also on her current "Taking chances"-tour).
Lipsynched are:
- The power of love (after the first verse which is live)
- Its all coming back to me now
- The power of love
- I drove all night
- River deep mountain high
- My heart will go on
The whole issue starts to come out, a belgium newspaper had that "scandal" in their news lately, they also let some experts listen to the tapes, and they said that it is impossible for any singer to sing a song with the exact same timing (broken down to the second), exact same high notes every time, over and over again.
This is being discussed heavily on a lot of internet forums, people show "proof-videos" where they put so-called "live"-perfomances from Celine next to each other.
Though Las Vegas is considered as a big success for Celine - at least financially - I don't think it was a good step for her artistical direction.
Singing the same songs over and over again, five times a week, in the same old arrangements, partly even playback, didn't do Celines artistical appearance any favour.
And this direction is being continued during her current tour.
I give this DVD one star as people pay a fortune to hear Celine LIVE, not old prerecorded tracks.
If you are ready for Celine - PARTLY Live in Vegas, go and buy the DVD.

WOW! |

I am a Wal-Mart associate and an excerpt was playing of River deep - Mountain high . It will stop you in your tracks! I have been a Celine Dion fan for years. I have always known Celine was a classy lady , but ; my opinion of her as down to earth person - approachable , warm , a true entertainerhas grown . The way the show was put together was absolutely beatiful , elegant , ( If I Could ) to steamy , erotic (Seduces Me) and the thrilling finale ( River Deep - Mountain High ) will make you want to dance . Go out and get it . You will not be disappointed !!!!! |

Kind of Surprised At How Little Stage Presence She Has |
|
Her music is great of course. The sets are great. The dancers are great. The lights and effects are great. But, I was shocked at how stiff and unnatural she was in her own movements and in her interaction with the audience on this disc. My wife and I actually got uncomfortable watching her. In my humble opinion she is not a great live performer in this kind of big production setting. Buy as many of her CD's as you can. You cannot take that from her, she has a great voice. Skip the high priced Blu-Ray though. 3 stars for the music and the production only. |

Celine - simply the greatest female performer in decades |
This is the most wonderful music DVD I own - and I own lots. This performance is truly exciting, memorable, and exudes of love. The stage is the biggest I have ever seen and the dancing was perfection, seductive, and very well performed.
I suggest that everyone have this DVD - you will not regret that decision. |

This is 1 of the best blue ray discs in the market. I have more than 20 blue ray highly recommended discs, but this is the best. |
Picture and sound quality are top note. This BR discs is the best in my Blue Ray disce collection so far, besides Privates of Carribeans, Black hawk down, Stealth. And yet, this concern disc is far superior to these collection (in my opinion). Go and buy it before it is out of stock. Hurry.
