Hi all

 

Thought this might be fun and educational. Here is a space to share your interesting facts about Celine that you think other fans may not know.

 

Ok, here's mine:

 

Celine wrote the music to "Tous Pres Du Bonheur", a song by Marc Dupre & Celine.

Celine had argued with Rene and David Foster had pissed her off when she was due to record All By Myself. Foster said, "Whitney's next door, she'll be able to hit the high note if you can't"- so Celine said, no way that Crackho is gonna steal my song, so she nailed it once and walked out. Rene and Foster had apparently planned it to get the desired result we all know and lurrve.

Did you know that Diane Warren offered Céline Spanish Guitare, and Tony Brakston was offered Because you love me?? Both didn't like the song for themselves... and they ended up recording the songs the other way around!

Toni is the Céline turn downs singer :giggle:

 

Did you know that Think Twice only peaked at 95 in the USA, but that it was NUMBER ONE for SEVEN weeks in the UK?? Setting a new record... something like that hadn't been achieved since the Beatles! She spent 37 weeks in the charts! and was 11 times on Top of the pops in 3,5 months!! :w00t:

When Celine was 5 years old, she was playing in her yard, when she spotted a stroller across the street. Naturally, she went to investigate. However, she didn't see a truck backing out of an ally! The driver didn't see the small child and backed into her, knocking her unconscious. Her brother Michael found his little sister unconscious and scooped her up in his arms. Celine was unconscious for a few days and suffered multiple scull fractures. She wasn't supposed to fully recover, but I'll bet we're all glad she did!

Yea, I read that in "My Story, My Dream"...great book, and also that she had a picture of Rene that she kept under her pillow and kissed every night and didn't dare let her Mother find, because her Mother was "paying him for singing, not for a love affair" LOL :mdr:

Celine denied "there you'll be" and it was forwarded to Faith Hill.

 

 

Barbra denied "My Heart Will Go On" and it was forwarded to Celine.

Barbra was offered MHWGO first? :hmm:

I was wondering the same... These days my friend told me he heard it was offered.... Mariah first :wacko:

We almost fought because I had never heard that story before and I found it completely crazy...

 

Now this one about Barbra is weird.. never heard about it either...

Posted

Yes, MHWGO was offered to Barbra but film teams did not like her due to her annoying habit, so they turned the song to Celine instead.

 

 

Sorry that I can't find a source to defend my claim, but I'm 100% sure that my info is correct.

Yes please tell me about Barbra's "annoying habits" Which ones does she have? -_-
Posted

If there is no source then it can't be called a factoid. It's more of a rumouroid.... :giggle: And it's highly unlikely that this information wouldn't have surfaced in the 10 years since it was recorded, especially if it was due to something they found annoying about Barbra. This would have been big news!

Did you know that before Celine and Rene got together that Celine used to "pretend" to fall asleep on his shoulder on their plane rides when actually she was wide awake. She gave herself an excuse to do it. Smart thing she is that woman. :giggle:

One night in Quebec City Celine and Rene were out and she was wearing a blonde wig and dark glasses, no one recognized her and midia started more rumours about Rene new affair lolol
Posted

Maybe she just thinks it's a load of crap like the rest of us....hahaha

 

Did Celine really cut short her honeymoon to record something for UK television? Because I've heard this so often but I can never remember what show it was.

I don't know if she was on her honeymoon but she was on holiday. It was to record "Tof of the pops" and she sang "Think Twice".

 

The following week after that performance, TCOML was number one in UK ! :in_love:

Posted
Celine is known as the best singer in the world! at least to all of us :thumbup: :lol:

Hey, Jose - now that IS a fact!!! I like it!

 

Did you know that Celine just lerves de crunch? She loves chips (or crisps as we say in Enland).

Celine was on her honeymoon when her record company called and asked her to perform "Think Twice" on the "Top of the Pops", and it went to number one the week after.

Really? The Power of The Dream? WOW I LOVE that song!!! I remember watching that on TV, and that was at the Olympics that were in Atlanta...only 2 hours south of me! CRAZY!! Did she ever say WHY she didn't like that song? Everything about it, just seems like a "Celine thing"...hmmm :hmm:
