[CSCfan]

Also, René said that he has a few ideas/plans for the period after AND.... So something's definately in the making!

[René 2]

«Céline Dion, ce fut la deuxième chance dans ma vie. J'avais 39 ans, j'avais fait une faillite, mon mariage allait bien ordinaire. J'aurais pu réussir quelque chose avec Ginette Reno, mais ça n'a pas marché. J'avais pris la décision de retourner aux études, de faire mon droit, même si ça ne me tentait pas. Puis, j'ai reçu une cassette d'une petite fille. Je l'ai écoutée et j'ai été bouleversé par sa voix. Vingt-cinq ans après, quand je l'écoute, j'ai encore les poils qui se dressent sur mes bras», raconte René Angélil.

 

= Celine Dion, it was the second chance of my life. I was 39, I was in a critical financial standing, and I was not happy in my marriage... I had made the decision to turn over to the studies, to make my right, even if I was not enthousiastic at all. And then I received a cassette of a small girl. I listened to it and I was upset by her voice. Twenty-five years after, when I listen to it again, I still have the hairs which are drawn up on my arms”, tells Rene Angélil.

 

Le grand amour

 

Quand il parle de Céline Dion, on sent tout l'amour profond qu'il éprouve envers sa femme et diva. C'est physique, c'est palpable : «C'est une grande perfectionniste. L'avez-vous entendue parler anglais ? Elle disait pas un mot ! Et le golf ? Quand elle s'est mise dans la tête d'apprendre le golf, elle a tellement suivi de cours que j'étais presque inquiet. Elle s'attendait de jouer avec Annika Sorenstam au tournoi de Palm Springs. Céline savait qu'elle serait à la télévision. Finalement, elle a joué avec Karrie Webb. Et je te jure que tout le monde a été surpris en la voyant frapper la balle. Le swing était parfait.»

 

= The Great Love

 

When he speacks about Celine, we feel all the deep love he has for hs wife and diva. It's physical, we feel it : "she's a true perfectionist. Did you hear her speaking English? She did not say a word! And the golf? When she decied to learn the golf, she trained so hard that I was almost anxious. She expected to play with Annika Sorenstam in the Palm Springs tournament. Celine knew that she would be on television. Finally, she played with Karrie Webb. And I swear you that everyone was surprised by seeing her striking the ball. The swing was perfect.

 

Puis, on est allés voir le docteur William Riley, sans doute le meilleur coach vocal au monde. C'est un chanteur d'opéra et un grand oto-rhino-laryngologiste. Il lui a enseigné des exercices. Comment placer sa langue sur certaines voyelles, comment placer le menton pour certaines consonnes, comment respirer de l'abdomen et il lui a dit de faire ces exercices 10 minutes par jour pendant cinq ans. Elle percevrait la différence dans cinq ans, pas avant. Il fallait que ça devienne un réflexe conditionné, qu'elle ne soit pas obligée d'y penser en chantant. On ne peut pas communiquer un feeling quand on pense à sa technique. Ben, elle n'a jamais manqué une journée. Le ferais-tu, toi, un exercice en sachant que tu sentirais la différence juste dans cinq ans ? Elle, elle l'a fait !»

 

= Then, we came and see Doctor William Riley, undoubtedly the best vocal coach in the world. He is an opera singer and an amazing otolaryngologist. He taught her exercises to do. How to place her language on certain vowels, how to place the chin for certain consonants, how to breathe with the abdomen and he told her to make it 10 minutes per day during five years. She would perceive the difference in five years, not before. It was necessary that that it became a conditioned reflex, that she was not obliged to think technically. we can't communicate a feeling when we think of technical. Ben, she never missed a day. Would you do it, you, an exercise like this by knowing that you would feel the difference in five years? But Celine, She did it !

 

About A New Day... :

 

«(...) Mon premier choix était le Caesar's, mais j'avais des offres du MGM et du Aladdin. J'étais armé. C'est l'idéal pour Céline, c'est l'idéal pour le Caesar's. D'ailleurs, ils nous ont approchés pour une prolongation du contrat. Mais le 15 décembre 2007, ça va être le dernier show. Après, on verra, j'ai des idées. Il y a sans doute d'autres vedettes qui peuvent remplir le Colosseum, mais ces artistes ont-ils la discipline pour le faire ? Ça, je le sais pas», dit-il.

 

= My first choice was the Caesars, but I had proposals from the MGM and the Aladdin. I was armed. It was ideal for Céline, it was also ideal for Caesars Palace. Moreover, they approached us for a prolongation of the contract. But on December 15, 2007, that will be the last show. Afterwards, we will see, I have a lot of ideas. There are undoubtedly others artists who want the Colosseum, but do these artists have the discipline to do it? That, I don't know”..., he says.

December 15th is perfect timing..

[Nando Férri]

Thanx God...

[Bellamy]

There are undoubtedly others artists who want the Colosseum, but do these artists have the discipline to do it? That, I don't know”..., he says.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Very true.

[catwomanrrr]

I believe December 15th is the perfect date.

 

I already marked it down in my 2007 calendar. I will be definitely be there!

[VanMerlin]

That seems to be good. It's right around their anniversary, isn't it? It would be a nice time to end the show and celebrate the beginning of a new start.

[Lawna]

thanks so much, I definately have to be there for the last show!

[celinerific]

Awwwe, the closing of AND will be so sad! AND is like Celine's BIG THING. It'll be so different without Celine performing at the colesseum and then seeing some other person perform there. The theater wasn't made for them, it was made for Celine. It's just weird, you know? Tear, big tear...

[firebird]

great to have final confirmation on this date.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yay, it's final confirmation #7453. They have more than a year to change their mind again

Though, it would be good if it happened, so in 2008 she can participate on the 400th anniversary of Quebec and prepare her European tour. I wonder why they chose the 15th. It's nothing special, or is it some holiday in the US?

I would say "smile, big smile". Maybe I'm the only one, but I think LV is too much right now... I can't hold that anymore... Celine's "the sattelite girl". Music videos on that stage, messages on that backstage, interviews too, she can't even promote her albums in the right way anymore. That's enough to me. I'm dying to see Celine out there. Making new stuffs, making good promotion, maybe some tour, new places, new fans... that's it. Go Celine!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

You're not the only one!! I can't wait to hear her sing a new setlist and new songs, even if they're old songs she's singing again...but I'm rather tired of the LV songs over and over again. It will be nice to get a fresh Celine.

 

Her time in LV has been great...a little too long, perhaps, but great. But seeing it come to an end will open up so many new things...and I anticipate that!!

 

And I won't be sad to never see that red dress again!!
