Lionel Richie Makes It Look Easy in Las VegasACM Special Features Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Jennifer Nettles and MoreApril 3, 2012; Written by Craig Shelburne Kenny Chesney and Lionel Richie Photo Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images LAS VEGAS -- With a smile on his face and a swagger in his step, Lionel Richie truly enjoyed himself at the all-star tribute concert in his honor Monday night (April 2) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. And for older music fans who grew up listening to his pop hits, the show could've gone on all night long. Titled ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends in Concert, the special airs April 13 on CBS. The mutual admiration between Richie and his duet partners was evident throughout the three-hour taping. There was almost a visible glow emanating from the stage. To paraphrase a famous lyric, that's why it's easy to just sit back and enjoy the music. Without giving too much away, it's fair to say the show didn't follow a rigid structure. Sometimes Richie delivered his hits without a singing partner, which satisfied his longtime fans. At other times, country stars like Jason Aldean, The Band Perry and Martina McBride serenaded Richie, who was occasionally seated in the audience, with their own versions of his hits. Still, the collaborations brought out the best in everyone. Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Jennifer Nettles, Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker offered memorable duets with Richie, and nobody could keep their hands off of each other. Although none of them have known Richie for long, there's an obvious chemistry there. Those five artists are among the country stars appearing on Richie's Tuskegee, which debuted on the country albums charts at No. 1 this week. In addition to paying musical tribute, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum and Kenny Rogers shared their own amusing anecdotes about Richie's music, which brought a lighthearted element to the show. In addition, his daughter Nicole Richie spoke highly of her father in a short speech while Richie himself said he was tickled to finally sing live for his family. "Now they get to see what I do for a living!" he teased. Shania Twain did not make a surprise appearance to sing "Endless Love" with Richie, although they have released a music video for the romantic song. However, for this show, Sara Evans and pop star Marc Anthony stepped in for a compelling duet of the enduring ballad. Meanwhile, Big & Rich couldn't resist their own rendition of Richie's signature party anthem, even though the duo decided to inject a little bit of "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" into the mix. Richie didn't seem to mind. By then he was running with the night, and everyone in the brick house was cheering him on. View photos from the Lionel Richie tribute.CMT.com

I put my vote in for Lionel and Shania's video. Of course, Carrie is my main girl and I wanted to vote for her and Brad's "Remind Me", but I'd love to see Shania win something for the first time in a while. Plus, the "Remind Me" video isn't anything that spectacular, except for the fact that Carrie looks SMOKIN' in it.
But I voted for Carrie in every other category she was nominated in, so I don't feel too bad.

If she goes the full 2-year run in Vegas without producing a new album, I won't know what to do.

If she goes the full 2-year run in Vegas without producing a new album, I won't know what to do. Same. I don't think she'll release one during her Vegas run, but I hope she at least writes and records some stuff, and releases it after her show is over. Which would mean probably at least another 3 years for a possible album. :( Can't she at least put out a Christmas album during her Vegas run though? I'll take anything. :'(

SHANIA TWAIN MAKES AN ENTRY AT CAESARSWhoa! What an entry. Country music star Shania Twain had tourists in a tizzy on Thursday when she showed up in the lobby at Caesars Palace with a white horse among an entourage. Twain was apparently shooting a commercial to promote her residency at Caesars Palace, starting Dec. 1. It might be most memorable horse scene at Caesars since Robert Redford rode a white stallion off the stage and through the casino for the 1979 film “The Electric Horseman.” Twain’s red carpet arrival left some onlookers breathless, nay it more like unbridled joy. “Shania Twain is 20 ft from me... on a horse.. In a casino,” tweeted a Michelle Horton. --NORM CLARKE, Vegas Confidential Source

Has anyone heard anything regarding a potential lead single for a new album, entitled "I Am Only Just Looking"? It was mentioned in that article about the "Endless Love" video being shot in the Bahamas, and said Paul Boyd directed the video for it...

I think we have a better chance at Patsy Cline recording an all new album than we ever will again from Shania. I think Shania had all the recording/touring success she wanted and she's happy to relive those years on stage in Vegas. After that's over she'll probably retreat back to Canada for good.

Six-month countdown begins to Shania Twain’s Caesars Palace residencyJudy Eddy Caesars Palace President Gary Selesner, Shania Twain and AEG executive John Meglen in Nashville on June 8, 2011.By Robin Leach (contact)Thursday, May 31, 2012 | 3:37 a.m. In just 24 hours, we start the six-month countdown to country and crossover queen Shania Twain’s first performance of her new residency show “Still the One” at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and the Canadian superstar was here the past week continuing her planning. Shania’s two-year contract to share the stage with Celine Dion, Sir Elton John and Rod Stewart starts Dec. 1. Officials at Caesars and AEG producers confirmed that Shania had a week of meetings, including several at length with her director. Vegas DeLuxe has learned that Raj Kapoor, who directed the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato world tour and for five years produced and directed the “American Idols: Live” touring shows, will helm Shania’s show. In addition to being a video director for stars from Michael Jackson to Toni Braxton, Raj also produced and directed the “Dancing With the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance” tours. He was listed as a creative consultant and a screen producer for the 54th Grammy Awards and has produced the performances on the first two seasons of “The Voice.” I was reliably told that the direction of the show and its content are well along and moving smoothly in this development stage, although nothing as yet is set in stone. However, Shania will now start the set list from her home in the Bahamas and plans to return here in October for rehearsals off Strip and then onstage in November. Shania Twain at 2003 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand (Click HERE to see a 15-Photo Slideshow.)
“She will perform all of her biggest hits and prove her accomplishments as an amazing singer and songwriter. It’s going to be a phenomenal show,” I was told. Shania talked with me exclusively about the strength of her voice and her game plan for the new Caesars show in a two-part interview posted last June 13 (“A happy Shania Twain: ‘My voice is stronger today than ever’ ”) and 14 (“Shania Twain exclusive, Part 2: Her game plan for Caesars Palace show”). While in Las Vegas, Shania was spotted at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago in The Forum Shops at Caesars and after daylong meetings watched Cirque du Soleil’s “Zumanity” in New York-New York. She also filmed a segment that will be edited into the current Caesars Palace bellman commercials, for which she checked into the resort on a white horse as Louis Vuitton suitcases were piled high on the luggage cart. Cameras rolled at the main hotel lobby and near the outdoor patio of Michel Richard’s Central. Shania also posed for photographer Denise Truscello for new portraits and promotional photographs for her show, and we’ll post them here at VegasDeLuxe.com as soon as they are available. Hailed as the first lady of country music, Shania was ranked the world’s bestselling female country artist of all time -- until she lost her voice. “It’s the biggest challenge of my whole journey,” said Shania as she explained how she had to regain it to return to singing with Lionel Richie. It resulted in the video of their remake of “Endless Love” filmed at her Bahamas home for Lionel’s latest work, “Tuskegee,” an album of duets. You can absolutely bank on Lionel -- and other celebrities -- being in the front row at the Colosseum when Shania takes the stage six months from now.

Will she incorporate anything from her first album into this show? Other than "What Made You Say That" during the Come on Over era (in which she just sang background when a young person sang the track), she's ignored it. Granted, it's not her best work, but it's good when acts acknowledge the not-so-successful eras.

The following is a 1998 Shania Twain flashback from "Country Weekly":Shania Mania Hits the Road! (1998)Nick Krewen | Published: Jun 04, 2012 www.countryweekly.com/sites/countryweekly.com/files/imagecache/node_page_image/article_images/album-come-on-over-international-version.jpegShania Twain stands triumphantly at center stage, arms raised in victory, fists pumping. "I feel great!" she yells amid the roar of her adoring fans. "I've been waiting so long for this day and now it's finally here! I feel pumped!" The Canadian superstar is kicking off her first tour since she burst on to the country charts three years ago. Explosions, fireworks, giant video screens, costume changes, and even a dazzling magic trick offer a visual spectacle as Shania fever sweeps through the crowd in Sudbury, Ontario. "Are you ready? We're just getting started. I've got a lot of energy to burn!" Shania exclaims before igniting the audience with a spirited rendition of "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" It's just one of the 23 songs she plucks from her multi-million-selling albums The Woman in Me and Come On Over for the long-awaited show. "I've been involved in every aspect of the production," she tells COUNTRY WEEKLY with a hint of pride. "We're offering the best in lighting and sound, but the music will always be first. "We've been arranging some of the songs so they'll fit better into a live setting. They're slightly different arrangements but everybody will know the songs. We actually had to cut the show down from two-and-a-half hours to two hours. We wanted to get people home before midnight. "There won't be too many lulls. We've designed it so that everything flows. We're packing a lot of energy into the show." And money, too. "I keep signing big checks week after week," she laughs. "I'm not even sure how much it costs." It's been proclaimed Shania Twain Day in Sudbury, and it's just that for the 5,000 fans getting a first look at the brilliant production Shania will be taking on the road for the next two years. "We drove over five hours from Ottawa and it was well worth the trip," bubbles Dave Hetherington. "She's awesome!" Well-wisher Cathy Leger brings a framed embroidered portrait of the star that is a 120 hour labor of love, and hopes to present it to her sometime during the evening. "I've been a fan of hers right from the beginning," says Leger, who gives her handiwork to one of the country star's nine band members for delivery. As the big show begins, Shania -- decked out in leather vest, gold lame tank top, skin-tight black pants and platform running shoes -- sings and struts around her huge gray metallic stage. Her husband/producer Mutt Lange, making a rare public appearance, mans the sound board, overcoming echo problems in the arena normally used for hockey games. Four gigantic video screens project the action. Five rows of computerized spotlights and three huge searchlights -- more common at movie premieres than a concert setting -- light up the stage. Massive stacks of more than 60 speakers are suspended from the ceiling, providing a powerful wallop for Shania's words. Shania ends the memorable "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!", by standing on a giant snare drum. There's an explosion, a puff of smoke, and then the singer disappears. Moments later she reappears in the audience standing atop a platform held up by six security guards. The crowd goes wild, their arms reaching out to touch her. "It's a relief," Shania says later. "You never really know how the public's going to take you. Do they really want to see me? I hope they're not sick of me." In city after sold-out city of her historic tour, Shania will be making the most of local talent. "I'm augmenting it with a lot of local stuff," she explains. "There's a local choir, a local drummer, and we're bringing somebody out onstage every night to sing. It's a very interactive show. I want to involve all the local communities." Sudbury resident Suzanne Nault is certainly involved at the first concert. Her prize for winning a karoake contest sponsored by a local roadhouse: a pair of front-row tickets and a chance to sing "What Made You Say That" onstage, with Shania. The crowd laps it up. "It takes a lot of guts to come up here and do that," Shania says as she embraces Suzanne. "It's a nerve-wracking experience." Shania's striking gold in the nickel-mining town of Sudbury, but she had hoped to kick off the tour in her hometown of Timmins. "I was very disappointed to find that they had already booked the venue way in advance," she explains. "Then I thought about doing it outdoors, but they just didn't have the facilities. It was impossible." However, she emphasizes that Sudbury was no second-hand substitute. "I lived here for five years and went to school here," says Shania. "So there are a lot of good memories. Plus, it isn't too far for everyone in Timmins to travel." In fact, more than 800 hometown supporters made the three-and-a-half hour trek. Family, friends and familiar faces dot the audience. At one point between songs, Shania recognizes an old school pal. she waves and yells "How are you? Thanks for the letters!" There's another homey touch, as Shania sings a soulful version of "God Bless the Child," backed by the angelic voices of a local high-school choir. Shania sits cross-legged onstage to croon a tasteful medley of "Home Ain't Where His Heart Is (Anymore)," "The Woman in Me" and "I Won't Leave You Lonely" that leaves the crowd in a state of mush. Shania's personal touch extends to her hand-picked opening act, the high-energy, nine-member brother and sister act from Lakefield, Ontario, called Leahy. Their fiddling, Irish stepdancing and Celtic music fascinates Shania. "I chose them because I wanted something really exciting to warm up the crowd," she says. The band also joins her onstage to re-enact the dancing sequence in the video for "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)." "It's funny how things worked out, because the video choreography in 'Don't Be Stupid' seems to complement what they do, and that wasn't planned at all," Shania says. Something Shania did plan is to maintain fitness. Now that she's on the road, she'll be sticking to a strict routine. "Eat, sleep and rest are going to be the priorities," says Shania. "I'm very fit, and I've been very specific about my diet. I've hired a tour assistant who will cook for me, and everything will be healthy. Everything is designed for me to tour very comfortably so I can give 100 percent when I'm onstage every night. "If anything, this tour should be easier because I don't have to worry about setting up lights, pushing around an amp or driving around in a cube van," she says, recalling the struggling days of touring Ontario, fronting various rock and country bands. As a rule, Shania will keep a fixed schedule to preserve her stamina. "I'm going to be very selfish with my time," vows the singer, who is taking her horse along with her on tour. "My mornings are going to be free so I can walk my dog Tim and go riding. "If I feel I need to exercise or need to stretch out, I'll do that in the morning. Then in the afternoon I'll show up at sound check and start my day. All my meet and greets are before the show. Health is the priority on this tour." After sweating it out for two hours night in and night out, Shania has only one destination in mind: her custom-designed tour bus and eight hours of comfortable, undisturbed sleep. "To be honest, I'm going to be pretty exhausted," she admits. "I'm going to soak in a hot bath and then go to bed. I'm not one of those people who stays up til 4:00 in the morning eating pizza and drinking beer." As for the daily menu, Shania says the emphasis is going to be on fresh foods. "There won't be any restaurants, or anything from cans or packages for me," she says. "I love pasta, but I can't eat it all the time. Fresh is the key word: a lot of fresh juices, vegetables and proteins." To ensure peace and quiet on the bus, Shania says, "There's also a separate door if management needs to come in and make some phone calls or whatever for business. But there's a private area in my bus that's only for me. I need that privacy." Husband Mutt won't be at every concert. "That's not unusual," she says. "We've spent a lot of time apart. But things are going to be paced a little differently. When I take breaks they're going to be ten day breaks, so we'll be able to spend more than a week together, which is a luxury. "Even when I have a few days off now and again, they're not really days off because you're always doing something. There's business details to attend to, things that need your attention, so you don't really have time off. This time, there will be no interruptions." For now, she's just concentrating on life on the road. After months of rehearsals, where Shania ran through the show up to four times in a 10-hour day, she feels that her audience will finally get to see the real her. "I am finally in my element. Everything came together exactly the way I planned, and it's every bit as wonderful as I imagined it to be. "It's a big relief." Country Weekly

There has been an album "on the way" for the 6 years that I have been posting here. At some point Shania Twain should be considered a "nostalgia" act rather thana current one

Shania Twain – Then and NowBy: Billy Dukes | 8 hours ago Diana Freed / Rick Diamond, Getty Images One thing is noticeably absent from Shania Twain‘s ‘Then’ picture. The famous singer is as fit today as she was at the Billboard Music Awards in 1995, and her hairstyle then could even be worn on red carpets today. But a now 46-year-old Twain is a bit more modest than her 30-year-old version. We’re not sure what happened to the rest of Twain’s shirt, but that was a style she made popular for much of the mid to late-90s. At the time, some argued that if you have abs like that, you should to show them off, while the more conservative country fans wished she’d wrap up a little more. As Twain approaches 50 and her son gets closer to his teenage years, it seems unlikely we’ll see her once-famous belly again.
