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. It also acted as 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:

Olivia Trinidad Arias (widow of George Harrison)
Joe Walsh (from The Eagles)
David Foster (famous songwriter and producer)
Halle Berry (Academy Award winner)
Caroline Rhea (comedian)
Corbin Bleu (from High School Musical)
will.i.am (record producer, songwriter and member of The Black Eyed Peas)
Josh Groban (singer)
Jennifer Love Hewitt(actress, singer and songwriter)
Ross McCall (actor)

The show's format was similar to "An Audience With...", where Celine was asked questions by the audience. Celine began the show with the triumphant River Deep Mountain High and even did a little beatboxing before she performed "Eyes on Me". The show continued with Celine singing "The Prayer" with Josh Groban. She dedicated "The Power of Love" to engaged couple Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall. 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 closed the show with "That's Just the Woman in Me", a song Celine has wanted to record for over 15 years.^[2]
