It was about 2 hours into my journey when I saw Celine's bodyguard come out of the Colosseum. I asked him if I could take a picture with him and he asked "why?" I said "you' re a bodyguard right?" He was surprised I wanted his picture, but humbly took it with me. I hugged him in the picture and I was so happy just to see him I squeezed him around the waist, he was really nice.

Later on a boy came up to me and asked if I was waiting for Celine, he was also a fan. We started talking then the bodyguard came back talking on his cell phone, so I waited for him to finish and asked if there was anyway I could see Celine. I offered to stand if there wasn't enough seats but he said he couldn't get me in. I said "everything I see here I'm taking notes and it will be posted on a website (www.celinemaniacs.com) and that I am constantly promoting Celine". He said "give me your number and I will call you to get you tickets for this weeks show". I gave him my number and he asked me "you're the one with the perfume?" and I said "you remember me?" That was really cool. The boy that I had been talking to was bummed out that he did not go up with me when I talked to the bodyguard.

Waiting, waiting, and waiting around and my savior stands right in front of me I asked this lady if she had any extra tickets and she said "yes" and handed me THE TICKET, I gave her a great big hug. I was in after all of that, but you know it's all worth it when it comes to Celine. I got fifth row seating, smack dab in the middle and later found out I was in the same row and about 7 seats away from where Oprah would be sitting.

The show started at 2:15 and Celine started out singing LIVE "The Power Of Love." She wore a very sheer and see through outfit for this song. Her hair is short and it's not as bad as people think she looks good in person. She did a clothes change and later came back with a white shirt and black slacks. Celine moves more like a dancer now and doesn't where high heels or tight fitting clothes. She wears ballet shoes and dances a lot more. She went on to sing "Seduces Me" and she sat in a chair while all these male dancers with no shirts gathered around her trying to touch her, but couldn't because she's just untouchable like that.:) She told jokes after singing that song about how those guys looked good and that women need a chair like that. She dedicated the next song to René Charles! From what I know this song isn't on the new album but my guess of the title would be "If I Could." The dancers in this song came down on wires as little children on swings and a tree came from below the stage and grew. Celine said it takes a lot of water to keep a tree like that alive in a place like Las Vegas. She ended her performance with "I drove All Night". She danced really loosely in this song.

I can't remember what song this happened in, but two male dancers on wires walked across the stage in mid air pushing a piano as if they were on the floor, that was an interesting effect. The interview at the end was short because they said they had more footage from when they followed Celine around. Oprah said she was glad to have the name "women" because Celine is wonderful. Celine was truly touched and almost came to tears from the warm welcome she got from everyone and was truly happy to have been there.

The show ended at 4:20 At the very end I met Celine's back up singers and piano player they all signed there autographs for me. They commented on my name and Elise hugged and kissed me on the cheek and said she would see me again. Hopefully this will be true. I did not get to see Celine personally this time, but I got Oprah's autograph!!

Interesting facts:

• When I entered there were red large padded squares around the entrance to keep the sound clear in the Colosseum.
• The Colosseum is warm because of the high humidity levels.
• Two Chrysler Cars were in the waiting room, a Red Pacifica and Silver Sebring Convertible.
• A large painting of the slogan "Drive and Love" was also in the waiting room.
• No musicians are seen throughout the show. There are two stair cases that conceal them on the stage, this was made known to us when they shined a light into the stairs.
• Seats are like those in a theater they rock back and forth and are very comfortable.
• Celine and Oprah can carry on a conversation with an audience, makeup and hair crew working on them.
