Mashup from the movie that includes Celine's song.

"Behind the Music: The song-along sequence had been written into Will Ferrell and Andrew Steele’s script with a note about possibly trying to get former contestants to also participate. Dobkin initially thought of getting past Eurovision winners ABBA and Céline Dion to perform their own songs, though they declined. (He notes that he got farther with Dion than he did with ABBA.) "

Céline this is your chance to be in movies or series again! I thought you like to act? Wasted opportunity again.

[jpatdeleon09]

I really prefer this version.



her voice is really strong and loud since then.. the reaction of her fellow contestants watching was like “Oh god! We have a winner”

Well that's a bummer. I guess scheduling got in the way, perhaps?
I watched this last night and even though I'm not a huge Will Farrell fan I found the movie amusing.

i watched it this morning and i was kinda feel like it's gonna be like a joke movie or so but to my surprise it's actually not bad at all
i thought it's pretty cool that they got winner to perform the medley !
and for Celine's part yeah i don't think Celine had time for this though even though it would be cool, this movie was filmed last year
for ABBA of course they would refuse it

Ah so it was done last year. Yup! Busy Céline again. Reminds me of céline wanted to act back in 2008 for Maria Callas. It’s like the same... again

Busy for the tour

I watched this last night as well,

[jpatdeleon09]

So i have watched the movie and the final song that they sang on eurovision kinda resembles Céline’s winning song back in 1988. Ending with a big belted high note

[jpatdeleon09]

If céline joined the movie. I think she’ll be part of the song-a-long portion of the movie.

Also, I know this is far from new, but just re-watched it and it warmed my heart. She was so cute! And just look at Rene tallying up them votes!
I know she hated the song and much of the competition involved, but hey, all these years later, we're still talking about it. Clearly a pivotal experience in her career, and life.

“And finally France by 10 pts.. “ i don’t understand wasn’t she representing Belgium?

No, she was representing Switzerland. At that moment Switzerland was one point ahead of the UK and the woman was announcing how many votes go to each country. When the woman announced that France was getting the final points, it was clear that neither Switzerland nor the UK would get any more points so they would keep their positions in the ranking, meaning Switzerland won. That’s why they were celebrating.

This is...too much lol.


But Demi Lavato singing "Ne Partez Sans Moi" was something I thought I would never see.

She should've done it. She's been part of more ridiculous cameos and appearances during the years than this. And I don't think it was her schedule, why would they say they were further with negotiating with her? If it was her schedule it would just be a simple NO without negotiating.

She was performing her few remaining shows in las vegas that time. Maybe they didn’t know yet that there’s an upcoming world tour planned.

Maybe that’s why she declined

I read very mixed reviews about the Eurovision movie, I might watch it still and judge after if she should have taken part

Don’t read about the critics review. You should watch it. It’s a great movie

Well, did you know that she is indeed in the movie? I watched that clip once, and thought it looked and sounded like her (but wasn't entirely sure) and the first glimpse at the Wikipedia said she is in the movie so I assumed it was her.

But I'm wrong, you're right, it's actually an Estonian named Elina.

Oh, did they all have to watch each other perform? Wow. So Celine watched Lara

Yup! I know. She has her own song on that movie. Then, she died.. then, she became a ghost to warn the guy. It doesn't sound like her...

I think Céline can sing this “Husavik” song from the movie. Same style or vibe from the song “Ashes”. Lots of effects.



Original

I don't think it was about Celine's agenda, everything is about money, how much they will pay to have Celine in a movie.

Exactly, and it’s not like this is some serious work of art, like “Muppets Most Wanted”.
