Will Ferrell Performs as Celine Dion on Late Show


Recommended Posts

Posted

Will Ferrell is a man of many talents. But singing is not one of those talents. Still, on the 'Late Show' (11:35PM ET on CBS), Mr. Ferrell does his best. He belts out an incredible ballad -- and he does it all for a friend.

 

Who is Will doing his performance for? Why, singer Celine Dion, of course! As you may have heard, Celine recently gave birth to twins. Unfortunately, this meant she could no longer sing at her live Las Vegas show. Luckily, Ferrell is here to pick up the slack.

 

Will tells David Letterman that he and Celine have been best friends for years. They met in Quebec, while sitting on a bus, while Will was in Canada during his college semester abroad. ... It's a fascinating tale that never suffers from the fact that it's completely untrue.

 

But enough of these totally made-up stories. It's time to sing, sing, sing! The comic said that due to Celine's child-rearing, he was taking over her live act. So Dave let him do a test run.

 

Ferrell them performed a stirring rendition of "I'm Your Lady," which was the most inappropriate song he could have picked. Still, the ballad has several moving verses, including these lines: "Never wonder where I am/ 'Cause I am always by your side!" and "Sometimes I'm frightened!/ But I'm ready to learn/ The power of love!" So, reading between the lines, we'll accept Will's song choice as a tribute -- to the "power" of his eternal love for Ms. Dion.

I thought it was not funny but not mean, it's just cool that Celine gets a lot of attention everywhere, I think she's gaining popularity again..

 

And the fact that the audience laughed when he mentioned Celine doesnt mean they are making fun of her, but it's just crazy that he and Celine could be great friends.. thats why they laugh.

I am not a Will Ferrell fan but that was funny!

The other night Craig Ferguson congratulated Céline and René on his show-the audience clapped and cheered :clap: Letterman is Ferguson's boss

It's nice to read and see Céline in the media.

"I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at."

"I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business."

"I don't listen to my own music at home."

"On her baby: He's 16 months old and he eats soap and paper. What's going on with kids?"

"On her son again: I smell his feet; they have a scent that's a bit like vinegar."

"As long as my fans enjoy my music and I'm happy in myself, my life and my music, that's all the truly concerns me."

"I am the youngest of 14 children, so I rarely got a chance to speak. If I have an opportunity for talking, I talk."

"So far so good. We take it a day at a time."
