That's Just the Woman in Me is a one-off television special from Canadian artist Celine Dion that aired on CBS on February 15, 2008 and was recorded at the historic Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The show celebrated her return to performing after a 5-year stint in Las Vegas and a promotion for her latest studio album, Taking Chances.[1]

The show was quickly put together after the success of "An Audience with Celine Dion" in the UK. The program featured Celine performing a few of her memorable hits along with new tracks from the album. Special guests included:

The show's format was similar to "An Audience With...", where Celine was asked questions by the audience. Dion began the show with the triumphant "River Deep Mountain High." Next, she sang her first single from her latest studio album, Taking Chances. She dedicated "The Power of Love" to engaged couple Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall. The show continued with Celine singing "The Prayer" with Josh Groban. She even did a little beatboxing before she performed an unreleased remix of "Eyes on Me" with Will.I.Am. She also performed the Beatles song, "Something" with Joe Walsh on guitar and dedicated the song to George's widow. Celine stated the song had a special place in her heart because it was the first song her son, Rene Charles, learned to play on the piano. She sang "Alone", a song written by Heart. Last, she closed the show with a song she wanted to record over 15 years ago, "That's Just the Woman in Me".[2]
