Why would this be strange? Is Le Journal de Montréal the only way of communicating with people? Can't Aldo use another paper?

YAY!!!! I can't wait to see how this goes. I've been wanting another French album for at least a year... So this should be amazing!! :D

I didn't know love until they loved me back to life because somebody loves somebody!

Glad to see this has been officially confirmed. I knew about this project a while ago before the Red Heads announced it thanks to a guy I met who works at Sony Music France here in Paris (it was worth it for the Celine info alone! :sofunny: ). But after hearing about all the confidentiality agreements at Sony regarding these things I decided not to say anything here in case he got into trouble!! :giggle:

 

I can't wait to see what kind of album this will be. I would love something that is reflective of her life at this moment in time. Maybe something more rootsy and relaxed like 1F4T and the new L'Hymne song...

 

PLEASE! That would be perfection! :)

It's just odd because Le Journal was Rene's mouthpiece so to speak ,lol. Sure he can use another paper, just changing of the guard I guess.

When aldo accepted to go work With Celine and René in the summer of 2014, it was to help René who has a chirurgy for his throat cancer. He didn't knew then that the singer would cancelled her asian tour and all her Vegas concerts and the cancer had comebac.

 

short translation:

 

Aldo arrived the first of August and two weeks after , evrything was stopped.

René was having health problems.

He knew waath was the job, it was why they hired him, but he didn't know that Celine would stop evrything.

 

The decision to quit Quebecor, wher he was the big boss of the sports and entertainment group has been made in 48 hours. He just finalized his move to Vegas 2 weeks ago and he has still a 45 feets trucks to come.

 

He had back problems in December , he had chirurgy. He could not walk. It was not easy.

 

René has required that Celine returned to singing.

 

René has been in boston for seven weeks this summer.

Ceasars Palace did not put pressure on Celine , it is René who wanted that for Celine. He wanted it. Celine loves to sing, this is her passion and what she does best. René ddin't want that Celine stayed by his bedside. He required that she continues to sing.

 

René put his words in all the changes that has been made to the show for the second life. He was in for all the creatives decisions. It will be Cline and René show.

 

So Tuesday Celine will go back and fulfill the contract she has till 2019. The first three shows are sold out .

i forgot to say it is a rough but i hope exact translation of La Presse article. Since it is an electronic version, i can't put the original.

 

Important changes

 

this pause has given the time to the new manager to make some changes.

 

In may it was announced that four musicains were let go and that their contract would not be renew. It made a lot of noises.A fifth quit to direct the Gatineau conservatory.

 

It was not just the musicians, others have been let go. He closed the Toronto office and he made global changes.He didn't do it for funbut to cive a second wind to the organication.and it includes Celine. In Hockey, wou make inportant trades, not becaus players are not good but because you have to change the spiriit in the locker room.

 

We all become a little complacent in live and in our work.. Myself , i've been 17 years working for Les Canadiens(hockey club), in the end, i became complacent. I'm human. People in my position have to set new goals to not fall in that trap. I don't say that Mégo was not passionate but that new things can be excitings.

 

When iVe gone from The bell centrer to Le cirque to Québécor , i could pass through walls.

This passion that you have in the beginning is important for an organisation.

Even if Aldo consult René and Céline. Also takes the decisions . Anf if he did not have that power, he would have not been the new manager.

 

He named also Richard Laramée financial of productions feeling Denis Sage and Yves aucoin are still there and very important.

 

Aldo is passionate about this new adaventure. He has to to move his wife , Mariannik Giffard who just let go her vice-president in Productions J to follow him. They have two young childrens.

 

He would not have done it for someone else. He have a love relation for René and Céline. He is there because they needed him and i knew what i could bring to the team.

 

A new french album

 

Ther will be a new french album..no more details.

 

Aldo has some projects for Celine, he wants to use her lifetsyle side.

Celine have taste, She is a soccer mom, she is avid followers of feminine fashion, children fashion and not only high end fashion. For every occasion , she makes decoration inside and outside the home. And Celine always take millions of pictures. Aldo will prepare a file and present it to them. He talked to them about that and they gave him the green light to continue.

 

Aldo doesn't want to talk about The after René..Now they work together. Just to hear about it, it makes him feel very bad inside.

 

With all her projects , Celine doesn't seem to want to stop. Aldo confirm. As Celine has herself, that's what she is good at. Anbd she can do both , work and family.

 

They are still hoping that René will be there this week, but wneh wou have those treatments , you have bad days...

Céline's Return #‎celinedion

By Alain De Repentigny for La Presse

 

After a year-long break that Céline Dion devoted to her family, she shall return to the stage of the Colosseum in Las Vegas next Thursday. She even prepares a new French album, we understand from her manager Aldo Giampaolo, who comments for the first time after this difficult year.

 

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

When Aldo Giampaolo accepted the offer to start working with Céline Dion and René Angélil, in the summer of 2014. It was to support his friend René, who had surgery for his throat cancer the winter before. Giampoalo didn't know yet that the singer would cancel her tour of Asia and all her planned concerts in Las Vegas because her husband's cancer had returned.

 

"I arrived on my post on August 1st and two weeks later, Céline stopped everything. René had problems with his health again. The moment I came on board, I knew that that was the reason, that's why they approached me. But at that moment, I didn't know (that she would cancel everything)." Confided Aldo Giampaolo to me in a long phone call last week

.

The decision to leave Québecor, where as the CEO of the Sports Group and Entertainment he supervised the building of the Vidéotron Centre, took him 48 hours to take. "It was like, bang, bang, bang! I completed my relocation to Las Vegas in two weeks and half still has to come over in a truck."

Giampaolo hadn't foreseen that last december he would need surgery on his back. He was in a lot of pain. "I couldn't walk anymore. It wasn't very rosy, our business: Céline who stopped everything, René and his illness and then I was handicapped. We had a very difficult start."

Having surgery twice, for throat cancer, in 1999 en 2013. René underwent a series of treatments in Las Vegas and then in Boston for seven weeks this summer.

 

Her husband is still ill, but why then does she resume her shows in Las Vegas?

 

Giampaolo denies that Caesars Palace put pressure on Céline to return to the theater that they constructed for her. "René wanted her to return, it's her job, it's her passion."

 

"For René. He asked her to return to the stage instead of just staying at his side. He found it necessary she returned for him."

René had his say in the changes to the show that was created in March 2011. It is renewed and revamped for her second life."

 

"René has participated in all the creative decisions as he always did before." Giampaolo says. "The show is revamped, but it's Céline and René's show above all."

 

Céline will resume the shows she cancelled last year this Thursday, to honor the contract she signed with Caesars Palace. The contract runs until the end of 2019.

 

"The first three shows are already sold out, there are not many tickets left, people are looking for them." According to Giampaolo.

 

IMPORTANT CHANGES

This unvoluntary pause of one year, permitted the new CEO Aldo Giampaolo to proceed with changes in the close team that surrounded Céline and to rough it up.In March he announced that the contracts of four musicians, among them Claude "Mégo" Lemay, her musical director for 28 years, wouldn't be renewed. A fifth, bass player Marc Langis, left to start teaching at the Gatineau Conservatory.

"It wasn't just the musicians we had to let go. I also closed the office in Toronto and I made adjustments worldwide. I didn't do it for fun, but to give the entire organization a fresh breath of air. Even Céline. In the world of hockey they proceed to make important changes, not because the players don't play well but because you need to change the environment.

 

Giampaolo pauses and then resumes: "We are all trying to please in our work and in our lives, even I, after 17 years at the Canadiens, it's sure that I tried to please in my last years there. I am only human. But people in my position have to face certain challenges to make sure it doesn't go down the drain. I'm not saying that Mégo wasn't passionate, but changing is exciting."

 

"When I left the Bell Centre to go to Cirque Du Soleil and on to Sports and Entertainment at Québecor, I had to go through walls. That passion at the beginning is important for an organization.

 

A LOVE AFFAIR

Even when he consults René Angélil and Céline Dion all the time, Aldo Giampaolo takes full responsibility for his decisions.

 

"They, and I am just as precise as those two, have given me the carte blanche. That was clear from the start. I wouldn't have gone if my hands were tied. Of course I talk to René and Céline but if they oppose my decisions every time, we aren't going anywhere."

 

One of the key persons in the changes is Richard Laramée, who has been René and Céline's business advocate for many years. Aldo Giampaolo named him interim Financial Director of Feeling Productions. And the technicians that are essential to the good performance of the Ferrari that is Céline Dion, Yves Aucoin production designer, Denis Savage and Scott Price, musical director.

 

Aldo Giampaolo is passionate about this new adventure. Things go well for te 65-year-old who moved to Las Vegas with his wife Marianik Giffard (who gave up her post of vice-president at J Productions) and their two young children.

"I wouldn't have done it for anybody else because the relationship I have with René and Céline is a love affair."

"When René first asked me, about five years ago, the possibility to work with them was so flattering but above all was I very happy he loved me that much. It wasn't my plan to become the manager of an artist but I could see they needed me and that I could make my contribution to this team."

 

A NEW FRENCH ALBUM

We learned this week that Céline Dion recorded a duet with Fred Pellerin for the film "La Guerre Des Tuques 3D". Giampaolo tells us that the singer is even preparing a new album in French.

 

Giampaolo has other projects for his artist. He wants to exploit her 'lifestyle' side. He gives Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton and even Ellen DeGeneres, who associated with Tory Burch last year, as an example.

 

"Céline has great taste, she is a soccer mom. She has great feeling for style and fashion, for women and kids, but especially for high-end fashion. At all her parties she designs everything inside and outside the house. Céline has made millions of pictures."

Giampaolo prepared a huge file full of ideas he wants to propose to René and Céline. I started and they didn't make me stop, on the contrary they gave me the green light to continue.

 

 

AFTER RENÉ ANGÉLIL

Giampaolo doesn't want to talk about after René Angélil. "Today we work together, René and I, and just to hear about it makes me ill inside." He answers.

 

But with her shows and other projects Céline Dion doesn't give the impression she is going to bow out.

 

"No" nods Aldo.

"Like she said in an interview at Good Morning America that is not what's she's going to do. She wants to combine performing and being there for her family. They are going to stay in Las Vegas (their houses in Florida and on Ile Gagnon are still for sale) and because she can be like any family mom who goes to work for eight hours and the returns home. She will spent her days off with her children."

Will Angélil join him for his wife's return on Thursday?

 

"I have always hope. But during his treatments he has good and bad days. We shall see when the day comes."

Thanks so much for the translation! :) I've also posted it to the news section

Thanks!!! She looks great, which makes me feel good despite what she's going through. I love her look/outfit too!

Love the way she looks!! Not too much makeup, which I love, so there are her "bambi " eyes again. So very cute for me. Her "Bambi" eyes look always comes out when she wears not too much makeup. She has gorgeous eyes!!

You are some good at keeping secrets. Must have been difficult not to say anything when you know something exciting is in it's way. Good for you!

I really wonder what he means by this? I don't like the example he gives! (Kardashian, Hilton ect...) :wacko: Who is Tory Burch?

 

Would she ever do a reality show?
