Who said Dancing with the Stars is all about reviving one’s showbiz career? More than that, Dancing with the Stars has become a venue for celebrities to show off their other talents, aside from acting. In fact, another big name has set her eyes on the dance floor as Celine Dion, the multi-awarded Canadian singer has expressed her desire to be part of the highly watched celebrity competition series.

The 39-year-old singer/songwriter recently revealed to TV Guide that she is a big fan of ABC’s Emmy-nominated Dancing with the Stars. In fact, she went backstage on Monday night’s show after she pre-tapped two songs for the Dancing with the Stars finale next week. TV Guide reports that one of the songs is “My Heart Will Go On,” the theme of the hit movie, Titanic.

“I hope they invite me again. I want to dance,” Celine Dion said to TV Guide. “For me, it’s not about a contest. It’s about having the privilege to share the dancing floor with the most amazing, talented people, and to share music. It’s not about winning. It’s about dancing as many times as possible.”

Dion seemed serious about her joining Dancing with the Stars, despite her little experience of ballet training when she was a child. Moreover, the performance of six Dancing with the Stars professional dancers, including Tony Dovolani, Cheryl Burke, Mark Ballas and Karina Smirnoff, made Dion even more excited. She said their performance made it difficult for her to focus on her lyrics, as she was mesmerized with their dancing.

“I was having a hard time singing because I was like, ‘Oh, I want a dress just like that! Oh, I want a flower, too. Oh, my god, I want a body like that,” Dion said. “I wish I could dance like that as I sing the song.’ But it’s impossible. It’s one or the other. But I was imagining that the dancers were me.”

You can hardly visit a trade show, convention or shopping mall in this country without seeing an absolutely amazing modular exhibition stand. The resources and creativity used by the makers of these masterpieces are seemingly endless, allowing their crafts and services to be utilized for purchasing (or renting) one of their designs to promote your own product or business.

Conducting research, comparing notes and trial and error were all formerly the best means for choosing the features you’d like to see in your modular exhibition stand. We’ve saved you the burden of this time consuming task, as I have compiled a list of items for you to consider before purchasing this all important addition to your portable advertising portfolio.

First and foremost, you will want your modular exhibition stand to be an attention grabber, standing out amongst the masses, just as you want your product or service to stand out within your industry. Originality is crucial to this process, so utilizing an expert design team to create your personalized product is, without a doubt, worth the investment. If you are renting an exhibition stand, the assistance of a professional to help you make the most of your arrangement will definitely yield positive results.

Another feature that falls closely in importance is the maneuverability of the components and its ease of transportation. The use of magnets and/or fabric is just a few of the options available to ease this sometimes tricky situation, especially if your cargo area is limited, for these materials will help to utilize your restricted space more effectively. Plus, lightweight fabrics and other materials are much easier to tote around from one location to another, whether you are moving it personally, or paying to have the pieces shipped across town, across the country, or across the globe.

Don’t forget about the flexibility of your modular exhibition stand! Here’s some food for thought: Have you ever gone to set up at a trade show, mall or other type of exhibition area only to find that your allowed space was either much more or much less than you anticipated? Having the flexibility to alter your exhibit falls into our number three spot, for portions that have the ability to stack on top of each other when necessary, “hide-a-way” components, or areas that can expand to fill a gap, are all vital to your cause.

Finally, safety is always a concern. Invest in snap-to-lock poles, strong and sturdy hardware that won’t tumble with a soft breeze, and materials that will withstand the test of time. Remember, you are spending your hard earned money on your modular exhibition stand, so be sure to utilize this form of advertising to the max, fulfilling every aspect of your presentation needs

Avatar – “I See You” A Smashing Hit That Failed Miserably


2010

It was shown across the US in December 18 and as you know the movie theme song which is sung by Brit gal Leona Lewis has been a smashing hit.

The “I see you” is part of Leona’s recent soundtrack, which according to some critics is the only decent song that is worth to listen. Nevertheless, the movie’s official theme song still got nominated for the Golden Globe Awards 2010 for the category of Best Original Song in a movie for last year, despite it many criticisms.

In the Avatar movie you will get to hear Leona’s belt out the song during the credits, just after you have regain the consciousness of your ass and legs as the film runs for approximately 161 minutes and 34 second or more or less 3 hours. So that means, you will either hear the song or not as most people do not stay to see the credits especially if the song is not that good.

A lot of people do not like the songs, as they think that it is only a copy of the Celine Dion’s ballad and hit song “My Heart will go on “for the movie titanic. This is probably the reason why I think that even though the song is great, but since it is a bit similar to what Dion’s song did for the movie then must people and critics cannot help themselves but to compare.

I also think that the reason why Cameron did choose the song for the movie it’s because he was hoping to touch the feelings of the female audiences. In which, it probably worked well to some female listener but not really with most people, online geek and critics. Hence, Cameron’s aim might have backfired as it did not receive the accolades that it was hoping to get, in such a way that Celine Dion’s song actually did for titanic.

In fact, the titanic theme song is still pretty much loved by almost everyone and even though I have seen the movie several times, whenever I watch the movie again the song still affects me in a big way. A really good theme song can do that to any person after watching a really good movie that somehow it should have at least give you the “chill” factor.

The Avatar action-adventure song falls short to what is expected for a theme song as it did not give that effect that the audiences is looking for. As a matter of fact, it has crushingly failed to give the feeling of being real that may perhaps affect the audience’s emotion and that could have made them reflect on themselves. The movies theme song does not fit and did not seem to appeal to anyone’s emotion, except of course the people in the Oscar who nominated the song.

The song may have been nominated but I doubt if Leona Lewis theme song would become the biggest singles in the history of music, unlike what happened to Celine Dion’s, which is one of the fastest selling albums in those times and probably why Titanic become a blockbuster as well.
