If I recall, (look above) I think he said something about he might put it in the multimedia section!

I don't think I can put it in the multimedia section myself.The moderators probably can transfer it there,but maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe you could use something like "un-sing" or "unsing" and put it between quotation marks to point out it's invented word. I think people would understand the meaning.

  Thanks for the tip about "unsing".Although the word doesn't exist,I'll use it when I translate this part.Her explanation of what Goldman wanted her to do is not to "unsing",but to sing differently.You'll understand what he meant when you watch the video.

I definitely agree about skipping the songs, the majority of us know them. I find what she is saying about them much more important!
I'm very interested in learning about the differences. I look forward to the rest

  I can't skip the songs completely because it would be impossible to understand what Celine is talking about.I did a lot of editing today and I will let parts of the songs,sometimes the beginning,sometimes the end,sometimes the beginning and "jump" smoothly to the end by adding a blur effect like I did in Part 1. I find it funny that nobody seemed to realize these "jumps" in the songs of Part 1.

the i remember it, what's bothering her is seing that now, she sees all the imperfections.

  You're right.She was bothered by the nasal sound of her voice in the demo when she was 15.I checked to see if my translation was faulty and came to the conclusion it wasn't.Celine is sometimes difficult to translate and by now,I can interpret what she really means.For example,she often says "we" did this or that", instead of "I " did this or that". In the Photoshoot 2012 video,I translated all her "we" by "I".

BTW,about 3 minutes of Part 2 is translated.This part will be longer,about 36 minutes,even with all the editing of the songs.

I remember this. Yes, he wanted her to, in a way, sing less? but I do remember this.

Yep, you're one smooth operator. Didn't notice a thing, like it was part of the special!

Well, for me, she is hard to understand.

About 99% of Part 2 is about Celine's French career.It's normal because this documentary was made for Celine's French fans.I wonder if members of this group will be interested by all this talk about Celine's French hits.You know J.J. Goldman already and know how important he was in Celine's success in France,but did you know that her first French hit was a song composed by Michel Berger,another icon in France? If you don't have any idea who Michel Berger was,(he died of a heart attack at only 44 years old),I think it would be a good idea to have a look at his biography on Wikipedia.This will exempt me from having to specify who he was somewhere during the video and you'll enjoy a lot more the never seen part that was filmed at his recording studio.
Berger wrote and composed hit after hit for many singers during two decades in France.He wrote all his wife's hits,the singer France Gall,who was not only beautiful,but had a very special voice.

She always says "we" in English too. I only remember her correcting herself once. It was right after the twins were born, and during the interview she used we for everything, and then said like "we wake to feed them every two hours. No wait. What am I saying. I. I wake up every two hours." It was funny

I remember someone saying she really thinks of her team and that they are in everything together. So I think often she says "we" to refer to herself and Rene and then sometimes, depending if she is talking about a concert performance, she says "we" to include her entire team (Rene, the band, etc). So I do not think it is incorrect, because she really means more than just herself alone.

Thank you for all the translating!!! You are amazing!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I think it was Carl Wilson who said something like, "Never has a soloist been as much a part of a team as Celine Dion," and I think it's so true.  (Why I still feel kind of sad about her band sometimes . . .).

I was surprised to hear her say that her voice can be nasal. So why then doesn't she try to correct it. It's all about placement. If she's aware of the nasality in her voice, why doesn't she practice with her vocal coach to correct it. Also she talks about muscularity in her voice, To me her voice sounds muscular. I don't get it.

I wish sometimes Celine would act more like Madonna in terms of artistic direction her music and concerts take. She just seems to go along with the flow, and "whatever works best". Sometimes I wonder how did she get to be this successful and not really being present in most decision making or final say. And since she had kids it got even worse. Her answer is always she leaves the business side of things to her manager. But what about all the other aspects of her career. Does she even care that much?

I'm at 20 something minutes in the translation of Part 2 and the subject is telling Celine to "unsing".
This picture tells it all.

    I love this! I saw my first Celine concert in 1996 with a friend and my mom.  My mom still talks about Celine "screaming"  and how we could hear the technicians turning down her microphone for the uptempo songs.

Thanks very much for this great labor of love; I can only imagine the difficulty. I took French in school, but my skill falls too far below conversational.  Your videos are helping me improve as I can pick out words and phrases now more easily.

Also, your translation of the documentary about Rene (where he speaks about the need to take a break) gives me so much more understanding of him than we get in the English interviews.  I found it very interesting to hear him and Celine and see their body language there.

In my mailbox,there are I don't know how many messages from people,at least 20 - I didn't count them - telling me CfaD Part 2 is blocked in their country.I believe I identified the problem and I'm working at solving it.It's a part of the video that is the cause the problem and I will be remove it.Damages will be minimal,because it's only a few minutes long.If it works as I hope it will,CfaD Part 2 won't be blocked in 230 countries as it is right now.Just hope that your country is included in this group of 230...
