Shania Twain at Caesars' The Colosseum

Quote: HotBlonde

It seems I can't do this from my iPhone so I will try when I am home. She fell down on stage or something?

Every woman's nightmare to fall on your heels in front of millions of people as she was walking up to collect her award. She wasn't hurt and took it with good grace.

I just watched the clip. Poor Shania. I love her.

Shania Twain has TONS of hits, and Celine Dion has a lot as well. I'm surprised some of you aren't more familiar with their songs. But maybe cuz I was a music major in college I paid more attention to that stuff, idk.

Where does my heart beat now? when she was just age 21, and had only recently began singing in English. She had already released 8 albums in French starting at the age of 13 with the 8th on her 19th birthday. She had a huge hit that same year with the primary duet in Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

I'm sure they both do.

I'm also sure if you list the top ten bands and/or singers for this year, I'd be lucky to recognize a third of them.

I'm not a fan either but I just absolutely love her as well. Probably not the same reason as you though.

I watch that and think her ex-husband must be some kind of dope. (but I'm easily influenced by a pretty face, I admit)

That video came out right around the time I was going through my separation/divorce after 10 years, so it has special meaning for me. Shania has so many catchy pop tunes with romantic lyrics, and of course she's about as attractive as they get.

On the other hand singers and bands who are one-hit wonders don't usually have much of a career, much less a long-running gig in Vegas or anyhwere else.

Red Rock Casino is running another concert series this summer for $30 per show.



Some of these are one-hit wonders, others have 3 hits, but $30 isn't bad.

If you say so. I don't recognize any names.

But I said they don't have long running shows in Vegas. A one night appearance at an off- off-Strip casino doesn't qualify.

Shania Twain is a star, of course, but she falls short in my book as far as the headliners at Caesars go. That being said, my book is often wrong, and ticket sales will tell the story. With Celine doing less than 50% of the shows she was booked for earlier in the life of that room, they have a large number of nights to fill. If someone like Shania can come in, do 70 shows a year, and build a reputation as a "great show to see", they'll have made a good investment. If she falls short of that, they'll have at least filled the dates left open by Celine's limited number of performances.

We'll see what happens. Right now this show is not even close to being one I'd like to see at the normal prices. That is just my opinion...

None??? Really??? Wow, you ARE out of touch! Don't they have radio in Mexico? Or TV? Do you open your eyes and ears ever?
