Okay thank you. How has it been recorded already arnt radio interviews always live? Sorry i dont listen to broadcasts much

‘She has recorded a brand new interview - the longest of her career - exclusively for Radio 2 - in which she discusses a variety of career-encompassing subjects from A to Z.
Topics included, C for Concerts, E for Eurovision (which she won in 1988), H for haute couture, M for Motherhood, and R for her late husband, Rene Angelil.’ - it doesn’t have to be live. They’ll just play the 2 hour interview...

[ehild]

Some things for radio are pre-recorded. I can't wait for this!!

Haute couture and motherhood her favorite subjects these days lol

[bilinkew]

Wow - this sounds great and not too long to wait now! Most artists would struggle with Z . . . any bets Céline will drop Ziggy??

[Peppercorn1991]

Is there another one of these interviews available with another artist?  I can’t seem to find one on YouTube

Kev x

[bilinkew]

There is this one on The Carpenters on YT - but it is much shorter as think most of music has been removed due to copyright

Very promising and an interesting format, think we will get something new from our girl, fingers crossed!

[Javito]

A to Z? I bet she's going to name all the shoe brands she has ever purchased in her life, or the fashion designers she can remember...

[ryba]

Will this Interview also be filmed and available as a video on YouTube? Or will it just be audio?

Likely just audio as it’s a radio show

Yes — this includes the entire interview with Richard Carpenter but they’ve removed the songs (sadly) as well as the commercials. It was a magical experience listening to it when it first aired!

Heads up:
They play a significant amount of songs so that’s why the program is so long. So y’all don’t get your hopes up for a gigantic Celine interview! But I’m sure it’ll be great.

I hope someone can record this when it airs so we’ll have it in its original context.

Funny collage. Especially since the top right picture isn't available in a good HQ if I'm right.

I always love her a bit dressed down, less makeup, messy bun

Yes, and particularly without that crazy eye makeup.

How about those arms, eh?

Where did they get the picture on top right?? It's never been released officially, and it's one of the BEST of her from the TC photoshoot!!!

[mirage]

Oh yeah didn't even notice that haha.

And yeah Javito, the only picture we have from it is the one taken at the gallery where this picture was displayed.

He responded to someone on Twitter to say the photo was taken on July 31, so clearly she has been pre-recording promo for about as long as people on here have been complaining about how she's not doing any promo...

I've also seen a number of Celine-related tweets from various journalists that have since been deleted, or have been very cryptic, which leads me to believe there's a lot more that has been embargoed and that we simply don't know about yet.
Just you wait, pretty soon there will be more Celine all over the media than you know what to do with!

I hope we will be able to catch up with all of it once the tsunami starts maybe its a good idea to post every link to every interview onto the press 2019 or news topic without any commenting, so that we have a detailed overview of all press reports

Yes, but that thread is locked...for reasons that still confound me...

I guess it's because of what happens in the NEWS ONLY thread where people somehow feel entitled to comment and ruin the whole "clean thread" for the rest of us.

Fun to see FOMO mentioned as ha hit!

She's one of the most successful recording artists of all time. She’s sold nearly 250 million albums in a career spanning more than 35 years. She’s the voice behind two of the most well-known motion picture soundtracks ever created.
She became a Las Vegas icon and changed the place 'where singers went to die' forever. But there's still more to Celine Dion's story.
She has recorded a brand new interview - the longest of her career - exclusively for Radio 2 - in which she discusses a variety of career-encompassing subjects from A to Z.
Topics included, C for Concerts, E for Eurovision (which she won in 1988), H for haute couture, M for Motherhood, and R for her late husband, Rene Angelil.
The programme includes her hits: The Power Of Love, My Heart Will Go On, It’s All Coming Back To Me Now, Tell Him, All By Myself, Think Twice and Flying On My Own. Also featured are key album tracks and select fan favourites.
But at its centre is an intimate, powerful and candid interview with one of the world’s greatest singers.

• Presenter: Steve Wright
  
• Producer: Malcolm Prince for BBC Radio 2

BBC Radio site, any smart speaker, streaming aggregator apps like TuneIn...lots of places.

If songs are released tomorrow, the airing of this BBC interview on Sunday now makes sense.

Was wondering why such long interview if no single, no album and no tour announcement while all 3 were imminent

Well, the BBC programme includes old hits, too. And some French music, apparently.

I hope they play Encore Un Soir too, that song deserves recognition outside of the French language countries!
