So many new French articles lately...

[Jacqui]

http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20080816...30/CPACTUALITES

 

It's very long, and my brain is tired. So to summarise a bit:

 

It says she only had 4 days of rest in her month off.

It says something about Rene and a telephone conversation that I don't understand (maybe someone who speaks fluent French can help with that?)

She says show business is a party, but it's not her life, she loves being an artist but prefers to be with her family etc etc.

She watched herself on Tv and noticed how much she does dramatic gestures on stage, like Freddie Mercury did, but when she doesn't do it, people ask why not.

Rene has other projects in mind for the future but a lot of that will depend on whether they're able to have another child.

They went to the fertility clinic in February and now have embryos ready to implant.

She said either way, after the tour she needs 3 or 4 months of rest and another 6 months for rehabilitation (I'm not sure what the difference is between those things?)

For 3 or 4 years she's hand some kind of seizures in her hand, she had tests for it and it turns out it's just from tension (That's scary...can anyone translate that more properly because I don't completely understand that...)

She wishes she could slow down and maybe do a show where she would just turn up and ask the audience what they want her to sing.

 

 

Sooo feel free to correct me on whatever I messed up, French speaking people....

that would be heaven!!!!

 

 

thank you Jacqui! some interesting things... that hand seizure is a bit scary yeah, but I guess with working a bit less it would go away...

 

 

I really really hope that Céline and René will have another child, more then anything!

[CSCfan]

That would indeed be Heaven....Céline PLEASE do such a thing.. We fans would LOVE that!

 

Thanks!

[anewdayhascome]

she has been making our dreams come true so much than i wish her another child more than anything let her dream come true:D

I remember when For Keeps was being written that Jenna Glatzer said Celine would like to do a lot of things but she doesn't think the fans would like it...and the things she mentioned were things we would have LOVED! It's a shame we can't get a message to Celine that we would like her to do these kind of things instead of the same things over and over again.

[Ronny83]

They also say she has just recorded a new version of "A World To Believe In" with a "petite Japonaise". :blink:

[freakyali]

It would be incredible!

Think about her asking us what we'd love to hear... seems a dream!

Let's hope she'll really do something like this in the future

 

And let's keep the fingers crossed for them for the new baby!!!

hmmm maybe an entire AWTBI in japanese? I guess she's so busy she doesn't even know when she recorded it!

[Prince Whiskers]

Thank you, Jacqui. An insightful article.

I'm booking my ticket now

[stevo]

Poor Celine never has a minute to herself- I remember in Manchester at the hotel after the show and her car pulled up and she was eating her dinner frantically so she could sign things- she just looked at the crowd as she pulled up and I'm sure she just wanted to cry and to have a rest...then I go stick my head in through the window and start rabitting about how she's the best...

[ashleylovesceline]

Thanks for the article!

 

I really hope they have another baby.

 

What's this about hand seizures? I've never heard her mention that before.

 

Oh, and the "fan request" show sounds like a dream... and the audience should be filled with only her biggest fans - in other words, the members of this forum!

Thanks for the article. I really hope we hear she is pregnant after the tour. That would be brilliant...

yeah but I think in a way, that makes it all worth it for her though, she sees how she touches people

 

haha me too Denelle!! I don't care, even if it's 500 euros I'll be the first to buy one! LOL

You know what Davey by the time this happens, I really might have that private jet

[Davey84]

and I'll bring Jeroen for you!

[CellyDee87]

Can't wait, off to Celineland we go. Jeroen had better be a Celine fan or it's over!

 

I would so love to see the day that a show like that actually comes along... not likely though

[Prince Whiskers]

It says something about Rene and a telephone conversation that I don't understand (maybe someone who speaks fluent French can help with that?)

She said either way, after the tour she needs 3 or 4 months of rest and another 6 months for rehabilitation (I'm not sure what the difference is between those things?)

I could be wrong but my understanding is that they turned down something during that phone conversation. She'll completely relax for 3-4 mos. following the tour and then spend six months of vocal training to alleviate the wear and tear effect of the ongoing tour.

 

 

She also says that she doesn't want to retire as a has-been.

[CelineRox]

Thanks for that Jacqui, I really hope they are able to have another baby

 

And a show where she sings what we want her to sing - I'm there! No matter what the cost!

Ah ok, thanks for explaining that!

Does that mean she wants to retire before she becomes a has been, or she wants to keep working so she doesn't become a has been?

She wants to go out on top.

[Jacqui]

I see Probably a good idea. I just hope she doesn't "go out" too soon. Then again, if that's what she wants....

[Magellan]

Actually she said that her hands are permenently shaking - fot 3 or 4 years now so she can't even eat a soup. That she had the tests - they found nothing so it must be tension. And she put her hand in front of that journalist so he could see for himself and he commeneted - yes, it shakes very much indeed.

About the telephone call - it's only that she was alone with Rene and Rene-Charles for 4 days of real vacation during the latest break - when a telephone rang. She picked it up - and it was for Rene. She (Celine) asked that person (some secretary probably) if it's urgent, that person said "More or less" and then Rene took the receiver and said "Tell him you couldn't reach me". Something like that.

The sense of it seems to be how brave Rene was refusing a bussines conversation when he was on vacation with his family. Rather ridiculous if you want my opinion.

And how the hell they expect this woman to have a baby by in vitro insemination? It's always tricky - and do you know what the odds are - considering a woman over forty? And in a woman so overworked and tense? That's crazy.

Anyway that article is interesting but pretty much muddled - I suppose because Celine talked to him in a rather chaotic way. Looks like it.

[I Surrender]

I dont like the sound of that. The women never gets a proper break and now her body is protesting.

I seriously hope her next break will be a proper one. Poor woman.

 

She should pursue her own wishes a bit more and have more faith in us fans I think she would be surprised

We will support her all the way.

Turning up at a show and asking us what we would like to heat would be just heaven

[felixwhoals]

Whatever happens, I will still continue to support Celine!! I can't believe I have become a fan of Celine's for almost 10 years now. God, didn't realise time flies really fast.

[ThisTime]

I really hope the baby works out for her.

Celine.. My place. Tomorrow. Call Me

I'll make a great audience.

[Terre]

Sounds interesting... Céline's hands are shaking?! That's scary (even if it's simply due to stress).

 

Letting the audience decide what Céline will sing... Oh my... I'd die if that ever happened!

 

Thanks for the article!

[cmcdaori]

Omg..all this seems to be very nice and perfect what she says,but i think she needs a rest too,but first her baby..it's most important for her and i want that for real.I hope she'll succed to have another baby.I pray for..

[CelineRules!]

She and René are always full of plans. After the tour they should completely concentrate on having another baby and put everything else in the freezer for as long as it takes...

 

Us fans are very patient, we'll wait for her

[CSCfan]

Us fans are very patient,

 

LOL!

That is so not true...
