Interview with René about new Vegas show, twins & Oprah!

February 12, 2011 at 12:34 PM

There's this dossier thing in the Journal de Montréal today about René. Apparently, he's celebrating his's 40 or 50th anniversary in the business. I'm going to get the paper soon so I'll be able to do a resume for everyone. He's also talking about the new show in Vegas (which he says is going to be better than the last one), Céline (doing therapy and singing lessons. She's singing better than ever).

February 12, 2011 at 04:20 PM

Thanks for the info c'line-rc, you're a darling!

February 12, 2011 at 06:52 PM

That's the kind of news we like to hear, thank you!

February 13, 2011 at 01:02 AM

Thanks for the info c'line-rc, you're a darling!

Anytime! It's my pleasure! :hug:

So, here we go.

In the interview, René says that he's happy with everything that he's done and that he's always done it because he likes it. Never for the money. They say how everything started on February 14th 1961. He's going to be celebrating 50 years in the business on Monday! :clap: He says that he worked hard, nothing is ever won in advance, you must never give up and always believe. He does'nt regret anything either. He says that there's no magic recipe. The key is that you have to have passion. There's lots of ''fake'' managers, ones that are only in there for the money. They read story's like his and go in there thinking it's going to happen like that for them too and that they're going to make a fortune. He says that it's the most beautiful job in the world because you communicate emotions to the public. He's had pressre for the last year for Céline's new show but now he's seeing the rehersals and he's going well. He's feeling a nice emotion. He thinks that his greatest force is that he knows just what the public wants. The most beautiful compliment that you can give him is to tell him that he knew just what the public wanted. He's still learning, even after 50 years.

He says that he doesn't have any regrets and if he would have to do it again, he would do it the same way. He learns from his mistakes and doesn't make them twice.

Then, he talks about the new show, Céline, the twins, what's coming and all.

He says that Céline is a unique artist but that she also works very hard. She's been taking singing classes and doing two hours of physiotherapy everyday for the past two months! She's singing better than ever! They also talk about how she's going to tape Oprah on Wednesday and it's going to air on the 21st! After, she's going to head for Vegas. She's going to stay at Caesars for the first series of shows until the renovations are done. They should be back in their home this summer. The kids are heatly, Céline is happy and he's working on the show. He says that every year, they invite Céline to sing at the Grammy's but because of her scheduel, she never can (I guess that answers our question if she's going to be there or not!). The show is going to last 1h40. It's hard to do more in Vegas René says. He talks about the twins. They're going to be baptised in Vegas on March 5th. They godfathers are going to be Patrick, Jean-Pierre and René-Charles. The godmothers are Linda and Anne-Marie. It's going to be a family even, very rich! He's really happy.

He says that a standing ovation still makes him cry. He's going to be the first one to cry on opening night. He says that during Christmas time, he was just so happy. He had his family, his children, his's grand-children, he couldn't ask for more. He's lucky to have such an amazing family after spending the last 50 years of his life in this carreer very demanding and where you can just loose everything. He's talking about his family with great pride. Céline is an amazing mother and he's very happy for her. The most important thing is that she's happy and well. The twins are RC were her dream. He says that to have a good carreer is good to be ''réussir'' your life is even better. He says that the thing he's most pround about with Céline is her roots from Québec, her personnality. He says that people from Québec are the most warm and welcoming people and he thinks that if Céline is loved all over the world, it's because of that warmth and generosity. She's a true Québécoise! He also talks about the Bye-Bye. A friend sent him the stech but now, that kind of thing doesn't bother him anymore. He says that people laugh at Céline because they're jealous. He doesn't feel like spending time on negativity like that, life is too beautiful.

Am I the only one who like just fell in love with René again? He's just seems to wise, happy and all. It's amazing. It's really deep. I'm really happy that I could share it with all of you! :heart:

I'm sorry that the pictures aren't straight... I couldn't turn them... :shy:

Aw, Rene is so cute and excited

I can't wait for the show and for Oprah!

February 13, 2011 at 08:43 AM

He also talks about the Bye-Bye. A friend sent him the stech but now, that kind of thing doesn't bother him anymore. He says that people laugh at Céline because they're jealous.

I'm sorry what do you mean by this? What "bye-bye" and what "stech"? thanks

thank u for the article..hehe i'm so happy!!!

February 13, 2011 at 01:41 PM

I'm sorry what do you mean by this? What "bye-bye" and what "stech"? thanks

Every year in Québec, for god knows how long, we've done this Bye-Bye thing which is like a review of the year. This year (as every year, they laughed at Céline. René got really mad last year, not because of the jokes about Céline but on Barack Obama and all) and it gave this sketch thing. Bye-Bye 2010 SRC Des Nouvelles Nouvelles de Céline

René didn't see it when it was shown on TV but a friend sent him a link to the video and he just doesn't bother wasting his time on people who are laughing at Céline because they are jelous of her success. He didn't have any comment. Hope it helped, if you have more questions, don't be shy to ask!

It's my pleasure to help other Céline fans! I'm happy you appreicate it! :flowers:

After traveling there this last summer, I absolutely understand so much more about Céline. It's not just her, or her family, EVERYONE is so nice and strangers would go out of their way to do most anything for you. It's one of the loveliest places I've ever been.

This article today from http://fr.canoe.ca (Feb 13, 2011) :whee:

"René Angelil le dit haut et fort. «Céline Dion est une artiste unique mais aussi très très travaillante.»

Ainsi, pour cette nouvelle aventure sur la scène du Caesars Palace, la star se soumet à deux heures par jour de séances de physiothérapie depuis deux mois et a repris des leçons de chant avec son professeur new-yorkais Bill Riley.

«C’est une grande professionnelle du métier», assure son gérant et complice de vie.

Ses fans du monde l’attendent et René Angelil veille à la préparation de ce nouveau spectacle avec l’excitation du débutant.

«On a donné beaucoup avec le dernier show à Vegas. Les gens attendent énormément, il ne faut pas les décevoir. Donc nous travaillons avec toute l’équipe à offrir le meilleur show. C’est la règle de basse. Le challenge est d’autant plus intéressant», souligne le gérant qui sourit au défi.

Les 80 000 billets se sont envolés rapidement pour sa première série de spectacles qui débute le 15 mars prochain.

«Nous revenons par la suite en juin et juillet pour une série de 34 shows et du 28 décembre au 25 janvier 2012 pour une troisième fois. Ce sera un show très musical avec 31 musiciens. Moi, je regarde le show se définir, Céline chanter et je vous assure que sa voix n’a jamais été aussi belle et forte. Elle l’a reposé pendant trois ans vous pouvez vous imaginer ce que ça va donner sur scène» confie fièrement René Angelil.

UN BUZZ

Oui, il y a un grand buzz autour du retour de Céline Dion à Las Vegas. Parole de René Angelil.

«Elle est la seule qui peut remplir un colisée de 4 400 places soir après soir.»

CHEZ OPRAH

Au cours des derniers jours, l’équipe d’Oprah a débarqué chez Céline et René dans leur domaine du Jupiter Island pour tourner des images qui serviront à la visite de la star sur le plateau de la diva américaine.

L’émission doit être diffusée le 21 février prochain. Céline Dion se rendra donc sur le plateau d’Oprah pour l’enregistrement le 16 février avant de prendre la route de Las Vegas.

Pour cette première série de spectacles, Céline Dion installe sa petite famille au Caesars Palace, car les travaux de la maison de Las Vegas ne seront pas terminés.

«Mais ça devrait être prêt pour notre second retour à Vegas à l’été. Tout va bien se passer, les enfants sont en forme, Céline est heureuse, et moi je vois que ce show-là avec ses 31 musiciens sera grandiose. Il ne faut pas oublier que nous travaillons avec le maître des Grammys, Ken Ehrlich. D’ailleurs chaque année, on invite Céline à chanter aux Grammys, mais l’horaire ne le permettait pas.»

Le spectacle durera 1 h 40. «À Las Vegas, c’est difficile de faire plus», assure René Angelil.

LE BAPTÊME DES JUMEAUX

Enfin, René Angelil souligne que les jumeaux Eddy et Nelson, nés le 23 octobre dernier seront baptisés le 5 mars à Las Vegas.

«Les parrains seront mes trois gars Patrick, Jean-Pierre et René-Charles qui vient d’avoir dix ans le 25 janvier et les marraines, Linda qui est déjà la marraine de René-Charles et ma fille Anne-Marie. Ça se fera en famille, ma richesse», conclut René Angelil vraiment heureux.

«Une ovation debout me fait encore pleurer» - René Angelil

A 69 ans, René Angélil regarde sa vie, et Dieu qu’il est heureux.

«Dans le temps des Fêtes, j’étais entouré de tous mes enfants, mes petits-enfants et j’étais au top… je sais que je suis chanceux d’avoir cette famille-là après avoir passé 50 ans de ma vie dans ce métier extrêmement exigeant où tu peux tout perdre.»

Il parle ainsi de sa famille avec une grande fierté.

«Céline est une mère formidable et je suis tellement heureux pour elle. C’est primordial qu’elle soit bien et je sais que la naissance des jumeaux qui vont grandir avec notre René-Charles, c’était son rêve. Réussir une carrière, c’est bien, mais une vie c’est encore mieux», affirme René Angelil, le père et l’époux.

Quant au gérant, lorsqu’il parle de sa femme-artiste reconnue mondialement, il croit que oui, il y a le talent, la voix magnifique mais plus encore… «sa personnalité, ses racines québécoises. Les gens du Québec sont les plus généreux du monde, les plus accueillants. Je crois que si Céline est aimée partout dans le monde, c’est justement parce qu’elle dégage cette chaleur et cette générosité. C’est une vraie Québécoise».

UN SUCCÈS QUI DÉRANGE…

Lorsqu’on lui suggère qu’un tel succès peut déranger, il répond du tac au tac «des envieux, il y en aura partout, tout le temps. Tu laisses faire ça, tu fonces.»

Il se reconnaît des qualités de négociateur. «Tu dois penser vite dans ce métier, mais je le répète, moi, je me demande toujours ce que le public veut et j’essaie de lui donner. C’est le meilleur conseil que je peux donner. Car le milieu ne te donne pas de passe-droit, tu dois faire tes preuves en tout temps, surtout quand tu as du succès, il faut en faire un autre et un autre..donc ton instinct ne doit pas trop te tromper.»

Enfin, René Angelil sait aussi donner de l’importance aux vraies affaires dans la vie..donc lui parler du dernier Bye Bye et de son numéro sur Céline Dion en train d’accoucher est pour lui une perte de temps.

«La vie est trop importante pour cela. Je n’avais pas écouté la dernière émission. Un ami m’a envoyé le topo. Je n’ai rien à dire. Certains ont du fun et aiment rire de Céline parce qu’elle a du succès. Je dis tant pis pour eux. Ça ne mérite pas qu’on perde du temps après cela. La vie est trop belle», conclut René Angelil. "

How can you not love René?

February 13, 2011 at 04:14 PM

So glad I read this before Chicago. If I get to talk to him, I will have a little more recent info to talk about! I love René! Such a smart, good man. I love what he said about the people of Québec. After traveling there this last summer, I absolutely understand so much more about Céline. It's not just her, or her family, EVERYONE is so nice and strangers would go out of their way to do most anything for you. It's one of the loveliest places I've ever been.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for translating! MERCI! We have some amazing forum members

It's true what you're saying Lindseyn and so sweet! Thank you! I'm not saying that because I'm from Québec and all but because I notice it a lot. People are always so nice, you shouldn't be afraid to talk to us! Plus, I feel the same way about René. He's really a loving man! I think it's something about Québec, maybe because from where we started like 400 years ago, how we had to work really hard up to very recently (we still do!).

De rien, c'est mon plaisir! I'm really happy I can help every one like this! :hug:

bkitt is right, Céline is really lucky to have fans that really love her and care about her! :heart:

Alex, I don't know how you can't love René! I know many people who don't though...

Edited February 13, 2011 at 04:15 PM by c'line-rc

February 13, 2011 at 04:25 PM

That is so awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that Roxy, you're a gem.

Rene is so lovely, the things he says just prove all the cynics wrong; he really does love Celine.

I wonder why she's having therapy though...hope she's okay! Then again, having twins must be a trying, traumatic experience, as well as an immense joy, big clash of emotions!

Lovely article!

Thanks again

T H A N K Y O U .especialy for translation.

February 13, 2011 at 04:37 PM

it's strange that they are going to live in the hotel for the time being, I thought they would have enough time to prepare the house for the twins but I hope she'll invite 'us' there later on...

There is nothing really concrete, we know everything, it's just a nice talk about Celine and the twins. I really like this interview with Rene:)

February 13, 2011 at 04:57 PM

Thank God there are special entrances for them at the hotel. I fear for them because of some of their crazed fans that would follow them to the restroom!

February 13, 2011 at 05:26 PM

Very nice, thanx for this.

February 13, 2011 at 06:05 PM

Thank you sooo much Roxy! :clap:

It's so sweet of you to do that for all of us, merci beaucoup! :heart:

February 13, 2011 at 06:10 PM

Yay finally a new interview! :clap:

I certainly hope fans won't bother them, that they understand that if they really love her they should give her some privacy.

February 13, 2011 at 06:25 PM

Anytime! It's my pleasure!

So, here we go.

In the interview, René says that he's happy with everything that he's done and that he's always done it because he likes it. Never for the money. They say how everything started on February 14th 1961. He's going to be celebrating 50 years in the business on Monday! He says that he worked hard, nothing is ever won in advance, you must never give up and always believe. He does'nt regret anything either. He says that there's no magic recipe. The key is that you have to have passion. There's lots of ''fake'' managers, ones that are only in there for the money. They read story's like his and go in there thinking it's going to happen like that for them too and that they're going to make a fortune. He says that it's the most beautiful job in the world because you communicate emotions to the public. He's had pressre for the last year for Céline's new show but now he's seeing the rehersals and he's going well. He's feeling a nice emotion. He thinks that his greatest force is that he knows just what the public wants. The most beautiful compliment that you can give him is to tell him that he knew just what the public wanted. He's still learning, even after 50 years.
He says that he doesn't have any regrets and if he would have to do it again, he would do it the same way. He learns from his mistakes and doesn't make them twice.

Then, he talks about the new show, Céline, the twins, what's coming and all.
He says that Céline is a unique artist but that she also works very hard. She's been taking singing classes and doing two hours of physiotherapy everyday for the past two months! She's singing better than ever! They also talk about how she's going to tape Oprah on Wednesday and it's going to air on the 21st! After, she's going to head for Vegas. She's going to stay at Caesars for the first series of shows until the renovations are done. They should be back in their home this summer. The kids are heatly, Céline is happy and he's working on the show. He says that every year, they invite Céline to sing at the Grammy's but because of her scheduel, she never can (I guess that answers our question if she's going to be there or not!). The show is going to last 1h40. It's hard to do more in Vegas René says. He talks about the twins. They're going to be baptised in Vegas on March 5th. They godfathers are going to be Patrick, Jean-Pierre and René-Charles. The godmothers are Linda and Anne-Marie. It's going to be a family even, very rich! He's really happy.

He says that a standing ovation still makes him cry. He's going to be the first one to cry on opening night. He says that during Christmas time, he was just so happy. He had his family, his children, his's grand-children, he couldn't ask for more. He's lucky to have such an amazing family after spending the last 50 years of his life in this carreer very demanding and where you can just loose everything. He's talking about his family with great pride. Céline is an amazing mother and he's very happy for her. The most important thing is that she's happy and well. The twins are RC were her dream. He says that to have a good carreer is good to be ''réussir'' your life is even better. He says that the thing he's most pround about with Céline is her roots from Québec, her personnality. He says that people from Québec are the most warm and welcoming people and he thinks that if Céline is loved all over the world, it's because of that warmth and generosity. She's a true Québécoise! He also talks about the Bye-Bye. A friend sent him the stech but now, that kind of thing doesn't bother him anymore. He says that people laugh at Céline because they're jealous. He doesn't feel like spending time on negativity like that, life is too beautiful.

Am I the only one who like just fell in love with René again? He's just seems to wise, happy and all. It's amazing. It's really deep. I'm really happy that I could share it with all of you!

I'm sorry that the pictures aren't straight... I couldn't turn them...

Thank you so very
