The René Angélil legacy

[Calilly]

Is that normal that i feel so bad after all this ? I look forward to that time passes cause it hurts so much. I just want to watch again the funeral, I just want to be with her.

Hope that tomorrow or after tomorrow we will find some download link to keep this moment preciously cause for me it's just the testimony of a long love's life.

[I Drove All Night!]

I'm just sitting here over-analyzing things at this point....

 

I wonder if Rene chose PQTME because it was Céline's most famous French song, having it play at the closing was a way to say, "Look at what we did together. We were magnificent, and you will continue to play my symphony without me."

I feel it was Rene's way of saying.. I hope you still love me, or love me still?! Maybe I'm way off.

 

I'm just glad either way that MHWGO had no part in this that would've been too corny and the media would have a field day with that.

I don't think Rene questioned Céline's love for him for one second... I know I didn't!

[Cheri Marie]

she didn't ate for a week, she had put a little bit of weight. she lost all of it.

 

Well damn. She has to take care of herself. This is the one thing that was drummed into my head from the doctors to the nurses to hospice staff. I didn't want to leave to eat and they made me do it. I just hope they get some rest this week.

No I feel like he meant to it all of his loved ones, as in love me still even from beyond.

[MalaysiaCeline]

René chose PQTME cause for him this is the most beautiful love song ever written

And what a circle of life: Michel Bublé became father again: his son Elias entered the world today ....

[rhapsodion]

Thank you Rene for everything that you have given us, and also allowing us to be part of your funeral!! MERCI!!!!!

[celine4evauk]

i think she put both on the same digit...

 

she was shacking because she was keeping her tears inside.

 

Ok thanks. I missed part of it cos it was buffering 😈 only saw her put a ring on left hand then tie the strings.

Same as I missed RC's french speech. I was surprised at how much of a french accent he's got lol.

Yeah doubt celine has eaten much this past week. I didn't eat a proper meal for 3 weeks after my dad died. Celine looked so tired too. Understandable.

Hope the next few days, although tough saying goodbye to Daniel, help them all as I hope it'll be private for them.

I've decided tonight I'm gonna watch some of through the eyes of the world tonight. It'll be so hard to watch when Rene comes on but it'll help me to come to realization he's actually gone. I didn't know what to do and I thought this would be a good idea I guess...

[celinemaniac07]

Has the full funeral broadcast been put up yet to watch?

[Celinenvegas]

Entertainment Tonight (ET) in the US just had a segment about the funeral. They said there were 13 cameras inside and out. Celine spent over 7 hours greeting family, friends, & the public at the viewing yesterday. They also said there would be a tribute on Feb 3rd in Las Vegas. They showed Celine and the kids coming in and out of the church and some moments from the funeral including a clip of RC and a few interviews. They did not mention any celebrity attendees.

Entertainment Tonight just reported she spent 7 hours taking condolences from the fans yesterday. Thanks for clearing that up, Cameron Mathison.

I was thinking the Millennium concert. Great minds think alike...

[Del]

I was just finishing up at work when the funeral started. I saw her entering the church with 3 heures 20 and started trearing up, so I quickly left and came home. I recorded the funeral so started watching it. What a beautiful yet heartbreak ceremony. It was very touching and a wonderful way to say goodbye. I thought I had extended the time on the recording in case it went over the allocated time but unfortunately it didn't save properly and ended just before they walked outside. I held up quite well during the funeral, but when the first notes of PQTME started I thought oh oh... and then the applause came and I lost it. There was no control. It's a moment that I will never forget seeing and while PQTME is my favorite song ever it will be difficult to listen to a while.

 

here's a link that had pictures and videos from today.

That speech RC gave at 14 is just so moving. She's all grown up. I wouldn't say he's less than 7 years old.

 

I can't believe he was born and he's lived his whole life in the US and still he has a french accent.

It's cute because not only he looks like his parents but he speaks like them too. You can tell he's proud.

I think that PQTME Makes a return to her Vegas show now, it's a totally different song now.

His first language has always been French tho, raised my Celine and Rene and her sister Linda only speaks French who took care of him when Celine and Rene weren't home. I'm not surprised at all.

[I Drove All Night!]

Just thinking of other Céline songs that would've been fitting... C'est Pour Vivre would have also been a beautiful song to play.

[celinemaniac07]

Vole would have also been a great choice.

[QueenCeline87]

I haven't been on in the last two days but I watched everything and I'm first off devastated for Celine and the children!

I'm replaying the whole thing in my mind.

I'm questioning if it's normal that I have cried as much as I have and continue to!

But then I look at Celine and her amazing strength and courage these past days!

I don't think many could do what she has with the world watching!

She has always been my hero but im even more in awe of her now!!

RC was so brave , his dad would be smiling down on him today and the twins have the best big brother to look up to!

I hope now that Celine and her boys take the time they need to heal.

Vegas can wait , albums can wait if she doesn't feel up to doing that for now

Her fans have her back whatever she decides!

i just suppose, but i'm pretty sure she did not ate much... Edited January 23, 2016 at 01:13 AM by québecflower

[Alex_Incognito]

RC doesn't have a french accent. It's Québécois. He sounds JUST like his dad when he spoke English, and Rene had a very good north American accent with a taste of Québécois. Edited January 23, 2016 at 01:18 AM by Alex_Incognito

[Peter12345]

I was thinking more about the last glimpse of Celine before getting into the car. I bet she was thinking that the first time she walked into that church she was getting married, and now, the last time she left that same church, she was a widow. It must be surreal for her as it is for us.

[Nmj]

I can't stop thinking that I watched the wedding ceremony 21 years ago, and today I watched the funeral. It's all much it's crazy for me to think about and register.

 

And didn't anyone notice the look on Celine's face all day, it was empty, nothing but emptiness it's really tough to see

Edited January 23, 2016 at 01:32 AM by Nmj

[Celinenvegas]

Yes I did notice that too. I don't know if she was trying to hold it together for the boys or be strong for Rene or what. It was almost like "robot Celine". I didn't expect her to be a basket case ( like many of us) because she knew it was coming and probably made peace with it but it's still hard to watch her go through it all. She really was a pillar of strength today - how can anyone not have tremendous respect for her. I do see her in a different light now.
