When she belts out her 1993 ballad “The Power of Love,” the high notes are as crisp and goosebump-inducing as they are on the nearly 30-year-old studio recording.ĭion opened with “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” a favorite of adult contemporary radio that has been reclaimed by gay clubs and drag queens in its 23-year gestation. It’s hard to overstate just how pitch-perfect Dion’s singing is, but here’s just one example. “Courage” is about Dion’s voice, and at 51, she’s still one of the best in the business. And between each section of the show, there are pre-taped onscreen montages that pay tribute to Dion’s well-documented love for fashion, where she portrays the muse (and in one scene a ballerina) in frocks that would make even Anna Wintour take notice.īut enough about the clothes. Yes, there are costume changes, including a white tuxedo blouse with droopy arms that look like wings and a chiffon art-deco gown for her show-stopping rendition of “My Heart Will Go On” (from “Titanic,” duh). And while Dion never once phoned in a performance, she didn’t look nearly as energized the last time I saw her in Vegas - months before she closed her residency in June 2019 - as she did in front of her Brooklyn friends.Īt about two hours, “Courage” gives fans exactly what they want: more Celine, as joyously over-the-top and vocally flawless as ever. For one, all the different iterations of her Vegas act ran at a brisk 90 minutes, so that cash-wielding tourists weren’t kept away from the casinos. While she spent 16 years at Caesar’s Palace - performing a whopping 1,141 shows to nearly 5 million people - there were restrictions to what she could do. She impersonated Cher singing “Frere Jacques” and Rihanna singing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” Most hilariously, she sang “Hush, Little Baby” as Sia, channeling the secretive songstress by covering her face with a stuffed animal and then her own hair.Indeed, judging from the latest, Celine-sized ballads on her “Courage” tour, leaving Las Vegas has done Dion some good. Playing the “Wheel of Musical Impressions” with Jimmy Fallon “People thought it was a mistake that my suit is backwards,” she said of her 1999 Oscars white ensemble. “I’m not a lunatic, I was not that late. She hilariously tosses the photos of herself over her shoulder after giving incredibly honest critiques. “How good it is to be a part of this,” she sang when asked about the girl power of the night, touching on Marvin Gaye’s classic “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You).” She also did a short rendition of Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger.” When asked how she felt about attending her first Met Gala in 2017, Dion explained “that I really insisted that there was a pocket in my dress,” before worrying that they wouldn’t let an icon like her in without her invitation card.ĭion is known for turning any response into a song, and on the 2017 Grammys red carpet, she did just that. Gaga later said that Dion “outperformed” her.
