was ready for a change of scenery — the French-Canadian diva admitted it herself. Once Dion took the stage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Friday, midway through her year-long, 120-date “Courage” tour, she gestured to her new surroundings, addressing 19,000 screaming fans .
Indeed, judging from the latest, Celine-sized ballads on her “Courage” tour, leaving Las Vegas has done Dion some good. While she spent 16 years at Caesar’s Palace — performing a whopping 1,141 shows to nearly 5 million people — there were restrictions to what she could do. For one, all the different iterations of her Vegas act ran at a brisk 90 minutes, so that cash-wielding tourists weren’t kept away from the casinos.
But enough about the clothes. “Courage” is about Dion’s voice, and at 51, she’s still one of the best in the business. It’s hard to overstate just how pitch-perfect Dion’s singing is, but here’s just one example. When she belts out her 1993 ballad “The Power of Love,” the high notes are as crisp and goosebump-inducing as they are on the nearly 30-year-old studio recording.
The only stretch of “Courage” that doesn’t exactly cohere is toward the end, when Dion emerges in a sequined disco jumpsuit to tackle a few covers. Some choices, such as David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” and Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade” , are fun enough, but her take of Prince’s “Kiss” feels like a cold leftover from her Vegas act. That said, hearing Dion in concert makes it hard to believe that she’s never been asked to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.
