Céline Dion leaves Las Vegas: the looks she has made history with

[Akrapovic]

The Canadian singer has announced that in 2019 she will end her residence in the city of sin. Her fans lament, but she has decided to take a new path

On June 8, 2019 will be the last performance of Céline Dion in Las Vegas. Or at least that's what she says now, because a return would not be ruled out, given that she has been the most profitable artist in the city of sin, since her husband, the late René Angelil, and she decided to give a turn to his career that many considered suicide and that has proven to be the opposite. Now there are many artists who dream of a residence in one of the casinos.

Beyond the musical significance of his first big show, 'A new day ...', which debuted on March 25, 2003, with a contract of no less than 600 concerts, we must underline the fashion dimension, very influenced in that first stage for the pyrotechnics and visual effects introduced in the show by Franco Dragone, world famous for his work with Cirque du Soleil. Artistic decisions that had to be refined over time because there were numbers that made the vocal performance of the singer very difficult.

Céline Dion at that time was far from being a fashion icon. What's more, certain apparently improvable looks remained engraved on his retina, like the one he wore when he took part in Eurovision in 1988, a contest he won representing Switzerland with 'Ne partez pas sans moi'. With a body language that showed some shyness, appeared on stage with a poor curly hair, a flattering makeup for a skin as clear as his, and an American with shoulder pads that was big and an antisexy skirt-tutu.
Another of the less iconic moments of the Franco-Canadian singer was her appearance at the Oscars with a Dior tuxedo with the American on the back, cataloged by international fashion specialists as one of the worst looks in the history of these awards. It was the year 1999 and the interpreter of 'My Heart Will Go On', at the peak of po[CENSORED]rity, was the least cool in the world, although it sold millions of records.
The arrival in Las Vegas of the singer was predicting the worst, because until then it was considered as the place where stars took refuge in the twilight of his career, as Elvis Presley or Tom Jones, but it was a masterpiece for both the singer , that saw its fortune multiply exponentially, and for the businessmen of the city of Nevada, who saw the hotel reserves rebound and the average cost per tourist. With an aesthetic of 'more is more', the singer, despite how expensive the tickets were, managed to mobilize an audience, with a demographic that frisaba the elderly, who bought the tickets months in advance. And it consumed the biggest ... (we are not referring to narcotics, eye).
The curtain was lowered, only temporarily, in 2007, because Céline, after releasing two albums, 'D'Elles', in his native language, French, and 'Taking Chances', with which he toured all over the world , he returned to the theater that, with a capacity of 4,000 people, had been built expressly for her. Which gives us a clue how strong they bet on her before she set foot on stage.
