You're thinking of Nanette Fortier, she has her own site here: www.nannettefortier.com

 

She also plays in a Celctic band called Killian's Angels: www.killiansangels.com which you may know if you have GTA4 as one of their songs is featured in the game.

 

Nanette is a lot of fun. On the A new Day.. DVD, she has a lot of fun with Celine during Love Can Move Moutains

Did you know that Julie LeBlanc had to play Tin Whistle for Celine on My Heart will Go On on her A New Day Has Come 2002 CBS Special? This was when Elise was on Vacation

While Elise was on vacation, Diane Gordon temporarily filled in for her vocals. She has a YouTube channel and on it says she was "blessed with the honor to share the stage with the beautiful and amazing Celine Dion in year 2002."

 

Here's a montage of some of her performances with Celine. She's pretty cool.

But you know Julie did Elise's part in My Heart will go On. Elise returned to Celine just in time for the VH1 DIVAS LAS VEGAS Concert in May 2002. From there, she played for Celine in A New Day and toured with her.

Terry was another good one

On the Taking Chances Tour, I loved how they pumped up the crowd while Celine was changing

One or two of her backing singers have been with her for years! :o

Élise Duguay is working with Celine since 1988, Mary Lou Gauthier since 1985, Julie Leblanc tours with her since 1997 and Barnev Valsaint since 1998.

 

A lot of her band-members are also with Celine for years, and years ... a sign that she must be a nice person to work with ... But we've known that!!! :yes: :yes: :yes:

Mary Lou Gauthier since 1985 as a backing singer or some other role? I know she is a songwriter but I had no idea she sung for Celine before A New Day.

According to the "TCWT"-Tourbook "Mary Lou Gauthier knew Celine since 1985" ... this can mean alot ...

 

As far as I know she didn't write a song for Celine. And I also don't know if Germain Gauthier (who co-wrote "Le fils de Superman" and "Oxygène") is a relative to her ...

It's really cool that Mary returned to Celine

Barnev has worked for Celine since March or April 1999 (US leg of LTAL tour) NOT 1998

I like Elize and Barnev. They have really stood by Celine for so many years. Must be fantastic for Celine to have such wonderful, talented backups behind her.

I missed the backup singers on stage! In the LTAL tour they danced with Celine on stage and they looked so energetic on that dvd ( ACDS)

but now they were somewhere in the corner of the stage, much lower then Celine, and only Celine got attention this way.

Apart from Barnev , who sang some songs on stage, the other singers did not get that much attention.

I also missed like in Live in Memphis and Live a Paris, a introduction to the band and the backup singers, to do their stuff apart from each other.

In Live in Memphis and Live a Paris you hear the powerful vocals of the backup singers when they are introduced. It was so great!

In the taking chances tour it was like..... thank you...my band ( applause, bow) my dancer (i missed the s, didn't hear it haha). and celine was gone immediately after that. In the other concerts she took more time to get the applause and introduce all of her individual bandmembers, including the backup-singers.

Elise, Julie and Barnev for me. They rock :wub:

 

 

I agree these 3 are awesome

don't forget Gregory Charles, he was Celine's back up singer for a little while after Terry left and before Barnev arrived.

 

Elise is my favorite too, she's married to Dennis Savage, Céline's sound engineer.

An angel was looking through,

It was you,

Yeah you...it's

You are the REASON.

Except for boyblackuk everyone seems to have forgotten about Deborah Cox. She was a backup singer for Céline in the early 90's(for about 6 months if I recall) and like others at the time she left to pursue a solo carreer. She's now a sucessful R&B singer, songwriter and actress. There is an interview somewhere on youtube where some artists are commenting about Céline's voice and carreer like Daniel Lanois and others. Deborah says that she finds "Céline's voice is flawless, juuussst flawless!"

I don't remember all of those comment on the vid but I remember at one point Daniel Lanois says "More power to Céline!" :)

Still wondering where exactly could I find Elise and Barnev after the show? I know they go through the casino. Planning around January or February to go.

i want to hear all the back up singers singing not just barnev. I want to hear elise and the other new girl (i don't know the new girls name yet)
Posted
I think it's time Celine switched out her back up singers. On many occasions they've actually sounded pretty bad.
Posted
My favorite backup singer for Celine overall is Elise. I have always wondered what Elise's vocal range is and her voice type?

Julie and Elise get me right back to the sweet 90's!! ❤
