Wednesday Weekly Video post

Okay, boys and girls. This week's weekly Video post is in honor of a show that I wanted to see for so long but never got the chance to. As they say north and way east of here, C'est la vie.

For the last five years, Celine Dion has entertained countless fans in a phenomenal concert called "A New Day." The show ended its run on Saturday, and was actually rebroadcast at movie threaters on Monday.

I don't have to go over Celine's accomplishments, needless to say she's a Grammy and Oscar winner, she literally rules Canada like Kylie rules the world, and unlike Shania Twain, she never gets on your nerves.

Over the years, I've come to love some of her songs. Her album, "Falling into You," is probably my favorite of her work. Her cover of the song, "It's All Coming Back To Me Now," gives a lot of credence to the song's writer Jim Steinman's contention that it is a song for a woman, which is one of the reasons why he prevented Meat Loaf from recording it originally. (Incidentally, Meat Loaf DID get to record it, but made it a duet with Norweigan singer Marion Raven in 2006)

However, until the end of time, she will always be attached to the song that's now replaced Spandau Ballet's "True" as the big wedding song for the bride and groom to dance to, "My Heart Will Go On." Let's face it, that song is the pop equivalent of the earth's atmosphere, it's here forever.

Today, I'm presenting two songs for Celine. First, I've included a segment that ABC ran about Elvis Presley back in September, jut after the 30th anniversary of his death. Celine finishes the special by singing one of his most famous songs of all time, ironically enough, another popular wedding song, "I can't help falling in Love(with You)" from the movie, "Blue Hawaii."

The second video is a continuation of last week's theme of the Fountains of he Bellagio. This time, the dancing waters present their interpretation of her signature song. So, grab some tissues if you cry easily, or she moves you that much and enjoy two of Celine's performances.

We'll be back a little early next week for a special Christmas Edition. See you then.
