New interview given at the Dorchester Hotel...

 

Celine Dion: “I haven’t got the guts to ask Adele for a duet”

 

Even with years of success, the French Canadian singer tells Metro she would be “starstruck” to collaborate with the British star.

 

Up until recently, the Twittersphere would have you believe that Celine Dion is dead. She isn’t – they were hoaxes. Rather ironically, the forty-five-year old’s album is titled “Loved Me Back to Life” (out now). It’s the French Canadian singer’s first English language album in six years – and Dion, whose career has spanned thirty years, is moving on lyrically and melodically. Yes, that means the ship with hit track “My Heart Will Go On” (made famous by “Titanic”, 1997) has almost sailed, although some fans are still clinging onto that era. Here, in a roundtable interview in London's The Dorchester hotel, the mother of three chats about her love for Adele, album cover nudity and her latest record.

 

It’s your first English language record in six years. Why did now seem the right time to put an album out?

I haven’t stopped to be honest with you. I started a new show in Las Vegas almost three years ago, then I did a French album and also had two babies. Do the math: time goes fast too.

 

Were you trying to reinvent yourself with this album?

You can’t reinvent yourself every five years. For thirty years I have been using the same recipe. This time round, we’re trying to freshen up and modernize – it’s a second wind. I’m not trying to reinvent myself but at the same time I’m not going to go on with singing “My Heart Will Go On”, "Because You Loved Me" and "The Power of Love".

 

There are elements of Adele in this album. Is she an influence?

She has an influence on my life. Period.

 

Why is that?

I love her. I’m taking hot tea everyday and I’m hoping she’s going to pop up and have tea with me.

 

Will you collaborate with her?

I haven’t got the guts to ask for a duet. I just would love to meet with her. If I see her, I would be starstruck and tell her that I’m her number one fan. Every soundtrack that I do, I find ways to sing her songs through my warm-up but I wouldn’t be so tacky as to ask her to sing with me.

 

Cher mentioned recently on a talk show that the crowds in Vegas during her residency were “very, very old, often sedated and didn’t seem into the music.” Now that your residency is almost over, can you say how you honestly felt about it?

She is very, very old, so the crowd is going to be old [Gets up and walks away in mock shock]. I’ve seen Cher perform and she is amazing. Hmm, the theatre itself is formal when you come in. It’s not like you can rouse the crowd with “Do You Believe In Life After Love”, it’s all gentle claps and hums. You really have to understand that it brings that mood.

 

What’s your experience?

Musically it gives me the possibility to enjoy my music. I can sing 70 shows a year, whereas I was doing 200 or at best 160 per year and I couldn’t breathe [pants like a dog] and then I go home every night. As an artist it gives me an opportunity to do my work and be happy about it.

 

Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears and Sky Ferreira have all stripped for recent album covers and editorials. Were you ever tempted?

[Laughs] I’m too gorgeous for doing that. No, I’m glad I didn’t have to do that and I didn’t feel the need.

 

What do you think of their decision?

I respect them; they can do whatever they want. It’s what we decide to watch and we have to decide whether it’s okay for us [the consumer]. Some people feel the need to go very far to feel something – to sell their souls pretty much. I wish them luck and longevity in their career but what’s going to be coming after that?

Céline has just been on sky news UK, quick 10 second interview where she talks about younger pop stars "they have the freedom to present themselves how they want, but it's up to us to buy it or or not". The news reader introduced her as having 30 years experience in the business and played a clip of All By Myself. She looked stunning.

Just checked my Sky TV Guide and found out that Céline isn't performing on Jonathan Ross this week, Boyzone are. Ugh.

 

Can anyone confirm this?

[anewdayhascome]

Celine is singing only LMBTL?

[wjd]

Celine is singing only LMBTL?

 

Did anyone from here attend the taping, if so can they confirm she's performing?

 

The TV listing only states that Boyzone are performing.

[Jessyka]

Now that would be a waste.

To have Celine Dion on your show and not have her perform.

[nature boy]

She doesn't perform, only an interview, but there is a quick sing for the audience. I know someone who was at the recording.

[wjd]

OH that is so annoying.

[VintageCeline]

My friend is a dancer and danced on the Jonathan Ross show yesterday.... He met Celine! She said that they did a good job and apparently Celine was lovely. Woopahhh!

 

I'm guessing 3pm is a good time for us Celine fans to start arriving, I'll go about then. I'm so excited!!
