Today I share two rare performances. In 1994, Céline came to Europe to promote 'Des Mots Qui Sonnent' in France as well as to continue with The Colour Of My Love Tour.

Here she performs Think Twice (only time she performed the song in France?) and Ziggy. Now I think this could perfectly be from September of 1994, coinciding with her concerts at the Olympia theater.

Well she IS wearing the same Olympia outfit LOL

Finally a better quality of this performance!
You can even see the little pimple on her cheek haha

She always had issues with song at awards shows hehe, in 1991 she missed her queue and in 1999 she cracked her voice at 1:48
I wish this amazing song had been included in her last European tour

So I was watching En direct de l'univers with Yann Perreau last night, and one of the songs they did was Belle from Notre Dame de Paris.

It reminded me how obsessed I was with that show in the late 90's and how much I wish someone (hello, Netflix, you there?!) would make a movie-musical or live TV musical version of it. And while the English translation paled in comparison to the French, at this point I'll take anything.

And to reminisce, here's a bit of NDDP from Celine -


And for those of you in London, a guy I use to do student theater with (who is now a Broadway producer) is currently staging a production of it in London. In original French, with English subtitles.

Sadly this song never had to much recognition...me included had no idea it came from Notre Dame for years! and the video does not help if you have no idea the context. too bad, I love this song, at least she sung it a couple times on stage

yeah, can someone explain the video to me? I always wondered about the concept since I never understood what it was referring to

The French version charted at 20 in France and 12 in Belgium - not too bad.
You can read the synopsis here ("Vivre") but basically it's Esmeralda's last love-lorn "aria" of the show; nothing much happens

I didn't realize she had sung it live on stage!

[mirage]

She did a playback at the Millennium Concert. I think it was the first song after the countdown, so her first one in 2000.

Thats the only time she 'performed' it on stage if I remember correctly

Maybe she also performed the song at the private concert she did at Caesar's Palace on January 1st, 2000. But I guess we'll never know the songs performed

why did she do a concert there in 2000? Was it because they've already planned her residency there and there was more to it than we officially know?

[Celine Fan 77]

I loved making this video. Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore gives me chills every time

[Tom_London_Fan]

Hahah, just came across this! Mariah Carey is still trying to throw shade Celine’s way with regards to the 1998 Divas Live performance. For 20 years she’s been using the excuse that she was respecting the Queen of Soul when it was fact she simply couldn’t bring the goods 😂😂

She did the song (playback) at least a couple of times, at the Tapis Rouge show and another one for TF1 network.

[mirage]

Almost forgot she performed it a few times.
Shame she doesn't sing it anymore, could be a great addition.
Same as for IWCT.

Pretty sure she did a small tracklist of her LTAL tour, I don't think she sung anything out of the ordinary...
Sad there is no footage about it

Rufus is amazing. Musical genius. I wish one day they collaborate. Definitely. That'd be something.

Off-topic (sorry!) but currently listening to the world premiere broadcast of Rufus' latest opera - https://www.cbcmusic.ca/on-air
He's so wildly talented.
I do wish he'd write something for Celine - his style is so fitting for what she does (well, at least musically, if not lyrically!)

She did the exact same thing last year when she was on the show! She just can’t get over it, all these years later....but I suspect she has seen all of the YouTube comments and forums saying she wasn’t on top of her voice that night.

3 minute mark.

I hope that she does this special again this yr,

[scielle]

Well, Buble is back (and I look forward to the full interview on Q tomorrow), so if he does a special again this year, it would be fitting to invite Celine back.

[mirage]

Would be great! But since Aldo is gone we haven't seen her on any TV special/show anymore.
