Seriously, I would have enjoyed her skating to "Die Anther Day" way more.

She couldn't do that one (for obvious reasons). :down: Not that I think it's funny at all but you're joking right? :confused: I didn't think she would do this exhibition gala at all myself so...

Just saw her skate, thought it was very nice. I can barely listen to Vole (and Fly) without turning into an emotional wreck - Celine's voice is just so sad in it.

 

Anyway, it's not like it was an exceptional program of hers, but the meaning behind it was nice. And I think it's sweet that Celine sent her flowers, etc...

OMD... I watched it tonight..and as if that song isnt emotional enough, we had the true meaning behind it, and her skating on top of it? It was verry beautiful and touching...she couldnt have picked a better song. Heaven bless her late mother. :innocent:

 

And to Celine, heaven bless you and your kindness.

DO NOT STEAL MY SIGNATURE

"It's hard in a recording studio, because I'm infront of a microphone, I have to imagine all of you and then I'm able to sing the songs for you...Now I'm still infront of a microphone, with all of you right infront of me, to see all of your faces, That's why I still do it!" (wild applause) thankyou for the flowers - Celine after a flower moment 9-22-08

Rochette skates to Celine Dion in tribute to her mother

VANCOUVER - With no medals on the line, and no Olympic pressure on her shoulders, Joannie Rochette skated purely for her mom.

 

The 24-year-old from Ile-Dupas, Que., performed to Celine Dion's Vole as a tribute to her mother Therese in the Olympic exhibition gala Saturday night, and when the soft strains of the sad song ended, she looked up with a wide smile.

 

"She loved that program, she loved that song, she loved Celine Dion," Rochette said.

 

The gutsy Rochette touched hearts when she captured a bronze medal less than a week after the death of her mom, marking Canada's first Olympic women's figure skating medal since Elizabeth Manley won silver in 1988.

 

Stunning in a backless purple velour dress she borrowed from teammate Jessica Dube that better suited the music, Rochette skated an old exhibition program to Dion for the gala, figure skating's traditional finale that brings together the top-five finishers in each event under the spotlights.

 

A day earlier, Rochette had received a phone call and a huge bouquet of flowers from Dion, part of a huge outpouring of support for the Canadian skater.

 

"It was so cool to get a call from Celine, I told her I would skate to her song," Rochette said. "It was really nice, she also told me when her father passed away, she went out and sang for all these people because that's what he would have wanted, and I feel exactly the same way. I can't believe I talked to her still."

 

Dion wrote Vole - Fly in English - in memory of her niece who died of cystic fibrosis in 1993.

 

Rochette practised the program Saturday morning, but not before watching video of herself on YouTube to recall the steps.

 

"I didn't remember everything, but I think my mom will forgive me if I forget a few steps," she said.

 

Rochette, who was presented with the Terry Fox Award earlier Saturday that recognizes courage amidst adversity, said she's been overwhelmed by the emails, cards and phone calls she's received this week, including a message from one of her favourite comedians, Louis-Jose Houde.

 

Following Tuesday's heartwrenching short program that left barely a dry eye in the Pacific Coliseum, Canadian-born actor Jim Carrey posted on Twitter: "Joannie Rochette! just saw your skate. U made your mother proud! My heart goes out to you and your dad. Much love 2U going forward."

 

"It's so good to get support from so many people," Rochette said. "I got a really nice message from an eight-year-old girl that still touches me."......
