The René Angélil legacy

[nuts2you]

Dam , you guys are making me cry here all over again.

[nuts2you]

And BTW , I sure Hope that her team is reading this now , and pass this to her in some way.

[Angel2006]

Very sad, death is terrible

 

PS.She has a very short hair in those pictures.

 

 

I thought that Celine's hair was short in one of the pictures with Eddy as well, but after carefully looking at it, I realized that her hair was not short, but rather put up in some kind of high bun. If you look at the picture really carefully, you can hardly see it, but there is a bun at the very top of the picture.

 

I know it's kind of hard to see and that's why it looks like her hair is short. It took me awhile to see it, but her hair, along with Eddy's hair are both done in a high up do's. Celine's up do is less noticeable, because it's kind of chopped at the top. It's just the way the photo was cropped

 

I am really curious to know when and where the other pic, located directly behind that pic of Celine and Eddy was taken? I'm talking about the picture behind the pic I was just referring to in this post.

 

It's a picture of Celine and Rene. Celine is wearing what appears to be a white dress, with material on the neck area. Looking at that picture, I would swear that it was taken around 1994 or 1995 judging purely from how Celine looks in that picture, but it is clearly much newer then that, because Rene looked older and more like his most recent self at that time.

 

Judging by Rene's appearance, I'd say the picture was taken sometime in 2012 - 2013. Celine looks much younger though. If I didn't see Rene in the picture, I would swear that it was taken on her wedding day. I have never seen that picture before and I'd be really curious to know when and where it was actually taken, because Celine looks so young.

Renè is dressed in that brown blazer he took the picture with RC holding the champagne glass around Christmas time probably the last year they went to Montana cabin for Christmas. We never saw Celine from that day it probably was the same day. Also Renè and RC both wearing the same white flower/ pin on their shirts as Celine is wearing from the pic in the video.

Hey guys i just listened to Sia's of my love and now i hear it: Celine basically copied her way of singing it. Esspecially the word Love, it is like Celine pronounces it but Celine tried to copy Sia here. And about the dreamcatcher..did she get inspiration of this video?

Yeah thats the picture!

I think those pics are from the period she was at home, and had the short hairdo, the walmartlook ;-)

I feel bad of her....I really do, but this is getting ridiculous.

 

And she sounds, I'm sorry to say horrid singing this.....who pronounces Love like that (L-ourureurrrrreee)? What?? what!?!

 

Anyway, very sad Celine, yes. But....this needs to end.

[scielle]

Well, this sure turned out to be divisive!

A very polarized love it or hate it reaction, both here and in the media.

 

For what it's worth, I don't hear anything abnormal about her pronunciation here, certainly not any more off-kilter than her usual accent.

[ehild]

I love the song and the video is heart breaking. Part of it feels kinda odd....like I shouldn't be watching it. But it's very much Celine. And if it's her way of expressing herself to us/the world then I say do what you gotta do Celine.

 

I can see what people mean about it being staged/produced. To me it was definitely professionally edited,not catching her in a random moment. Someone was clearly there filming. Which is why I think part of it feels odd to watch. But I also think it's partly her way of letting us more into her world.

[justinecoria]

I don't like it at all. I think Celine is going crazy and no one is telling her anything.

 

First, she's a very bad actress, always been. And this acting is just ridiculous. Especially when she's acting for Rene's death. It's so overstated, overplayed, like most of Celine's performances recently. It looks fake.

 

And that voice, OMG!! She needs to be taught how to sing again. Just like Mariah, she thinks that straining her voice, screaming, reaching her vocal limits creates emotions. But it's just a pain for the ears. I cannot watch that video completely, and I have tried.

 

This is how acapella should sound :

I do sometimes wonder whether she has anyone who can be completely honest with her and tell her what's what.

And I do suspect this outward display of "I'm strong, I'm fine, everything's A-K" for the past year - as evidenced by her sometimes overcompensating in hyper, overly perky TV appearances - has been really wearing her out. You can only pretend for so long before it becomes toxic.

 

But, I don't think she's acting here at all. She's not that good of an actress. This comes off as completely real to me. Those are real tears. Perhaps that's why it's so difficult to watch for some - it feels voyeuristic.

I'm not quite sure what you think needs to end. I think that if you don't like open displays of grief then Celine may not be for you. She will grieve for him for the rest of her life. As fans we just need to accept that and support her and celebrate Rene's memory with her.

I've been quiet this whole time. I'm gonna say this about the video, its plain awesome. It show a women grieving the man she loves. Plain and simple. None of us has the right to judge that. Forget the fact it Celine dion. Yes she is who she is. But she showed her side that very few see. She show us the wife...the wife that misses her spouse. That was a very real testament to her devotion to Rene. I'm read the comments here and on you tube and no one has the right to judge. I was at the February 23. 2016 concert and I can tell you it was a privilege to be there just like I'm glad she shared this with us. Take it for what it is and move on...

[Dancing_Queen]

Ever since this summer, I've had this feeling that she was playing a role.

Like she's saying the things that she thinks she should be feeling or that she wants to be feeling, without really feeling them.

To the point that some people were even questioning her grief.

We, as fans, knew better because the sadness in her eyes told a different story.

 

I hope that she's only putting up the facade in public, but I can't exclude that she isn't even honest with herself and those around her most of the time.

In the video/message, at least she's trying to express/channel the sadness, which I think/hope is a good thing.

I think she's now admitted to the world that she is not ok and won't be for a while...

Seeing her like that, I just wanted to give her a big hug, poor baby....

[pat200]

not someone to judge how a person grieves, but this video looks very over the top, seems commercial and fake, just too much. she is a bad actress and this video showed it. i was very uncomfortable watching it tbh.

 

her voice, even with the help she received from technology, it still sounded painful to listen to at times. i think it is finally time she stops trying to sing in her higher belting register unless she is mixing, because it will damage her voice quickly considering how strained and stressed it still sounds. not an easy year with the losses, then doing the vegas shows, the tours, the album, the promo...the last 2 years have taken their toll on her voice a lot.

Celine, like any human being, has the right to express her thoughts and emotions. You cannot put limits to that. The sooner people deal with this, the better. Edited January 16, 2017 at 07:06 PM by LukeD

My comment is not directed to people who dislike her singing or the aesthetical approach of the clip. This is up to taste and such comments are always welcome in a music forum! Edited January 16, 2017 at 07:25 PM by LukeD

[Lotty]

I think this video is beautiful, even if so personal and sad to be difficult to watch. The words written above it are the best every wife can ever dedicate to her late husband: a promise of eternal love. The only thing we can and should do, IMO, is to respect this couple and honor Rene's memory together with Celine. :wub:

But that has been the way she's become accustomed to sing since 2005, unfortunately. I remember very well when she included In Some Small Way in the Vegas show, and all the random screaming started from that moment. Then next song was Love Can Move Mountains, introducing words that had nothing to do with the song and altering the song, always with her high notes to the limit, but in a way that it's not nice. Then River Deep, Mountain High, and the high-pitched random ad-libs... Since then, until the present day

 

I think Céline really believes that it's all about her high notes, and no, not at all... It's not about including high notes on every single performance you do, it's about knowing when you need to include and hit that high note.

Precisely, this is not a performance for us to pick over and criticise, it is her expressing her innermost feelings in the best way she knows how, by singing. Of course her singing was a massive bond for them as a couple. If you don't like it fine, but there is no need for people to be so openly critical about this of all things!

[duri]

I saw it late night on 14th and I had a bad feelings anout it, I respect Céline´s right to express her feelings but this way ... I think it was too much, it was not necessary to share this with fans it´s too private for sahring with public, she is not participant in reality show. I was sad because she is my favuorite singer and it´s sad saw her like this because she is in deep mourning, I hope time will help her and wish her to find streanght and peace.

And stop trying to imitate Sia's voice. Fine if she likes her songs but make it your own. When i listen to my love , sia has a weird l'Love' too. Really i wished Celine sang like she did before. No bedroom cracking voice, no straining and no weird pronounciation.

Let Sia be Sia and Celine Celine!

As for the video it has been staged but the emotions are definately real.

I think this video is her reaction to her own way of dealing with her loss throughout 2016 by acting as if she was doing OK. For every 1 time she expressed her pain there are 10 times of her being goofy or acting like a fashion model or dodging personal questions during interviews. Even songs like SCAR and Recovering give the impression that she in a place of reflecting her past and recovering when maybe this is not the case. Maybe even with these songs she was pushing herself to move to the next phase, while in reality she was still in grief, thinking about the loss and not the past, hurting and not really recovering. That is my two cents. I do not have a degree in psychology, but I really feel Celine is struggling. The fact that she seemingly accepts that, instead of being in denial about it, feels like the healthier approach to me. Edited January 16, 2017 at 10:08 PM by LukeD

I have to say that this is just my opinion. People of course have every right to agree or disagree. I am not directing this at anyone in particular. As I read all the comments made about the recent video, the Vegas show, Celine`s singing, her liking Sia too much I come to many conclusions. First of all I would like to remind everyone that even though we are talking about a famous , diva, star, best singer whatever you want to call her , she is first of all a woman. She has always said her life isn`t common, but she is a normal person. People tend to forget that. About her Vegas show, you can like it or not, but she has completed 1000 shows( with a packed house),do you agree that she must be doing something right? Her singing , her voice , her pronunciation, I believe that if she wants to change everything about her singing she can, she has every right to. She has been a singer since she was 12. She has achieved every award possible, again she must be doing or must have done something right! She is now almost 50, if she wants to change her voice , her pronunciation, in fact if she wants to completely change her way of singing , she can. She has every right on the planet to do whatever she wants with her singing. With a track record like hers, believe me yes she can! She can decide to be a full time mom from now on. What I am saying is everyone should respect her choices.

Now about the recent video and liking Sia. I am sure that every Celine fan has gone through difficult times , or happy times using Celine`s music. Well she is going through this sad moment in her life using Sia`s music. Of course she isn`t going to use her own music, so yes she is now a fan, the way every fan is with Celine. Remember she is a normal woman going through a rough time.Sia`s music is just helping her cope.Now about the video, lets let the woman grieve. She has been so stong, for her kids , for her public , and this was her way to just let go. To cry, to show everyone that yes she is suffering, yes she misses her husband big time, yes she is a normal woman who has just lost a very important person in her life.

Her fans should support her and be there for her. Respect her decisions ( even if you dont agree with them) and honor Rene`s memory because he is and will always be a huge part of Celine!

[Moo112]

You all missing the point. We have no say in judging this video. Who cares if she sang Sia. She could have sang the damn phone book and I think some off you would still complain. This wasn't for us to judge. It was a message from celine the wife to the man she loves and she choose to share with all of us. Stop nit picking it...be thankful she did. This was not celine the singer, mother or public persona. This was a very real women grieving the loss of the one man she's loved, her whole life. The man who gave her their children. Back off her. The video is fine.

I guess we all have a different opinion. That's okay. You all have different point of views and i have to say we can all learn from each other. I respect her being in grieve. Of course she is. It is still so fresh. We may or may not like it. It was her decision to do it like this in the video. Hope it gives her comfort. That is all i will say now.

[celinesounds]

Very emotional

like a ritual

like a prayer

like a slayer

 

In a way to thanks

to her lovely husband

for all the years

to tell him the hidden tears

 

Very touching

no fantasy

herself

and his soul

trough her voice

without a choice

 

Celine and her eternal love

who looks for her somewhere above

Just a faith

that she can keep straight
