天后归来：席琳·狄翁07全新主打单曲Taking Chances

全球最畅销的女歌星席琳-迪翁今年4月11日，将首次来到中国，登台上海体育场，为2010年上海世博会高歌一曲。 　　

　　出生于加拿大的席琳-迪翁，12岁就发行了首张专辑，19岁时已拥有7张令人称道的法语专辑。1993年，她凭借影片《美女与野兽》中的演唱获得"格莱美奖"。 　　

　　1997年，她为影片《泰坦尼克号》所唱的主题曲《我心永恒》，不仅屡获大奖，也让中国歌迷第一次了解到了这位世界级的歌星。不过，自2003年签约拉斯维加斯恺撒皇宫酒店驻唱后，这位在全球拥有逾2亿张唱片销量的流行歌坛天后，就很少再举办个人演唱会，也鲜有新歌问世。如今，摆脱了这份"卖身契"的席琳-迪翁，终于将再次迎来走遍全球的歌坛新生涯，兴奋之情难以言表。昨晚在记者会上，无法前来上海的她通过VCR激动地表示，她非常期待自己的首场中国演唱会，在上海演唱会上，除演唱《我心永恒》《爱的力量》在内的多首经典老歌外，她还将为中国2010年上海世博会放歌一曲，送上自己的祝福。 　　 　　

　　据悉，此次"放歌世博-爱的契机--席琳-迪翁上海演唱会"，也是其2008年世界巡演非常重要的一站。此外，她还将在亚、欧、美等洲的25个国家的百余座城市登台。
