I doubt Céline will perform with her. I think she'll be recording her new album at that time.

[smw]

Yeah, Celine has a lot on her plate....

[whosarahre]

holy s***! we need a secret agent in there to record! come on dont let me down!

[Alex_Incognito]

That would be awesome as hell, but I don't see it happening.

[thevoice]

i dont understanf how u came to realize that the 2 will perform together? so barbara will perform in montreal , so what?!

also we cant forget last time that the two were supposed to perform together - celine was there but barbara was too affraid to perform with her so she didnt arrive , said she was sick - yeahh right.

I do agree with your first statement about your question on how people come to realize that these two artists will sing together EVERYTIME one is in a territory that's synonymous with the other, such as when Barbra was in Vegas and now when Barbra is in Montreal.

 

However, I don't understand how you can accuse Barbra of being "afraid to perform" and holding onto an 8-year-old rumor. Barbra certainly did not sing that evening with Celine because she was truly sick. I always thought Barbra was not the "diva" type, although she was the know-it-all. She would not just give Celine a runaround. That's just unethical, unprofessional, and absolutely un-Barbra. Barbra and Celine did sing "Tell Him" together for a gala along with David Foster later that year.

barbara knew that with celine's voice at that time , she didnt stand a chance - that's why she was "sick" . it's not just a rumor , alot of people from the industry talked about it back then...she was so unprofessional doing it less than 24 hours before the show . but celine ofcours nailed MHWGO eventho she had only few hours to get ready with this new song that she performed for the first time .

barbara is an amazing singer and this incident doesnt have anything to do with her being a diva - she just didnt want people to compare between barbara and "the new barbara" and after all she is older than celine and i wish that celine would sound so good when she'll be older.

[Céline's Blues]

Céline's voice back then was shaky, exhausted and thin. Barbra sang over her like hell.

You're speaking in more terms of a subjective, personal point of view.

The main people in the "industry" that you're talking about were mainly the tabloids.

I'm not a fan of Barbra, but there is legitimacy in this matter...

Celine has cancelled shows in Vegas too because of sickness. Barbra knows how much Celine loves and adores her. She would not just cancel a "performance of a lifetime" because of this accused-comparison factor.

 

Maybe Barbra could've been like Andrea Bocelli, who was SICK before his Grammy performance, but yet instead, felt it was necessary to be there. They ended up lipping to the pre-recorded track anyway. But I feel that Barbra did not want to lip the pre-recorded track... But regardless, she had Influenza. I remember when I had the Flu for two days, about 2 years ago, I felt paralyzed, with the biggest headache - I felt like I was dying. That's how bad the Flu is.

I kinda agree with Seb on that one.

Celine did not fully nail MHWGO that night. She was smooth until the most important part of the song, where she cracked. I guess she had disappointment on her mind

It's 1997 when Céline's voice started to deteriorate after a long and exhausting tour and there woill be no one who will tell me Céline sounded better than Barbra. She sounded good but Barbra showed her how it's done - without oversinging on her part. Céline with her tiny voice had to screetch to be heard. If she sang this song in 1996 she would have succeded in sounding full but she sang it in 1997 after she's done like 170 tour dates all over the world - Saharah, Australia, Asia, US, Canada, Europe. She's been everywhere and it showed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If you are talking about that gala where she wore that hideous gold outfit, that was actually the year before in November 1997 and the Grammies were in February 1998.

I guess we'll never know the real reasons why she didn't sing at the Grammies. The only thing I found disappointing was that she didn't sing the song live at her Timeless concert, but showed that short clip instead, Celine at least sang it on the LTAL tour.

Thanks for the clarification

 

Yes, the Timeless concert thing. But then again, we can also ask about why Celine did not have R. Kelly with her at the "These Are Special Times" nor the "All the Way" TV Specials tapings, nor did they sing together on any TV shows during the Holiday season of 1998-1999. These are questions that may never be answered, because quite possibly...there aren't any

Barbra has a bad case of stage fright. I remember seeing her on Oprah and she was talking about that. I felt sorry for her. I mean I hate feeling fear of anything and must be hard dealing with a fear that is connected to the thing you love the most to do.

 

I don't know why she did not perform back then at the Grammy but I doubt it was because Céline would sing better than her.

No, I didn't mean she should have invited Celine, but that she should have performed the whole song live like Celine did on the LTAL tour, instead of showing a short clip, but that's just my opinion.

I make the same question : WHAT EVENT IS THIS?

Me neither!

[alextrusca]

How can you talk about Barbra and Celine that way...Barbra taught Celine some technics and how to sing when they met.They are far from comparison.Barbra is one of the best voices on Earth, a skilled and talented artist.

Celine was indeed exhausted in 1997 but that doesn't mean she couldn't have done it.And Barbra still has the voice, she can sing perfectly.It happens sometimes that people have bad luck.It's not about being scared.Sometimes, it's not up to us, even if they planned the whole thing like 1 year before the actual event.

Well... correct me if I'm wrong, but the only time they performed "Tell him" live was at the David Foster Gala in 1997

If anyobody has a video/mp3 of this or more info about the event, please post.

[ZoraSourit]

I thought they had never sang it live.... Did they really sing it?

[Love,]

Now that I think about it, I think The Recording Academy should request for Barbra and Celine to do this duet at a Grammy Awards in the future. This will be a legendary duet!

But that's only a rumor, isn't it? Nobody has ever heard it, and on the pictures from the gala you never see them singing together.
