I know, you’re longing to hear more about the fabulous concert I’ve been Here we go!

After I met my friend, I went in and looked for my seat. Row 35, quite up high but with a sensational view on the huge stage in the middle of the stadion. It was a squarish stage with two side stages, nine lifts and two treadmills.

So I was sitting there waiting for the concert to begin. Eight o’clock passed, still waiting. Five minutes too late, the lift in the middle came up and Céine was there! OMG! The first three songs, I could hardly breathe. I was sitting there and what I felt is undescribable: so many years that I have been living with her music now, so many things that I know about her and suddendly, she’s there, alive, on stage. OMG! OMG! OMG, OMG, OMG!

As you may have known, I have been at the Céline Dion concert yesterday. Actually, it was not good. It was great, amazing, way beyond anything else I ever heard!!!

I have so much to tell you, I think, I’m going to write about it only the next 270 posts. Ok, maybe only the next 269… J

It already started when I arrived. I was so nervous, you can’t imagine. And then in front of the Hallenstadion, I met a friend from the radio and he told me a funny story. I have to go back to the past to let you know all the important things. Let’s go to 1988 then. Young Céline Dion performed at the Eurovision song contest for Switzerland with a song, that a Swiss singer-songwriter wrote for her: Nella Martinetti. Some of you may know that she won with that wonderful song, although the performance makes you laugh these days.

Twenty years later, Nella Martinetti is no longer the funny, cheerful person she once was – she’s depressed, gained 50 kilos of weight and has to stay in a clinic these days. But she’s still full of admiration for the now 40 years old Céline and would love to see her again – what Céline confirmed. But her management had another opinion and declined the meeting.

That’s not possible! was the first thought of some folks from the radio and managed to take her on a meet-and-greet they had drawn, together with the lucky guy who won it. And so, Nella finally met her long lost friend again! How touching!

That’s all for the moment – I don’t want you to break out in tears!

I did it! No, not what you mean I did buy a ticket for the Céline Dion concert next week. I can’t tell you how much I payed for it – incredible. It took me quite a while to guess if I really should spend so much money on a concert. But I’m longing to see her on stage, live, since I was twelve so I absolutely have to go. I’m so excited! I think I’m going to die. She’ll be gorgeous, I know!
