The René Angélil legacy

[Kristinaz]

Ok I just tried to rip it and I can't but for anyone who WANTS to help me out here and try the program that does work with CTV is GetFLV. In order for it to fully download the whole file you must pay. And I would renew my subscription to the program but just I don't have the money right now so if anyone can rip it for me using that program I'd be grateful.

I think it does work for people outside of Canada unlike CBC

 

Now I am super hungry and I need to relax after this stressful day. So I'm going to have some dinner I'll be back later on tonight and maybe try again to rip the file.

Just got home after being at the funeral. Very sad but beautiful ceremony. Seeing Celine's pain up

close was absolutely heartbreaking. I pray that God gives her the strength to go on.

 

Must have been such sadness there.

 

I'm worried about her. She seemed fine in those paparazzi pics when boarding the plane in Vegas, then heartbroken at times but mostly with it and controlled yesterday. But today... she was just a shell of herself.

It's really unbelievable that she had to go through such pain in front of all these cameras. I wonder how she feels about that. Yesterday I felt she was getting energy from people, drawing strength from them. But today, I just felt like she would have preferred for this to be private.

Poor thing.

But I also know that because she chose to put herself through this so publicly, she will end up even more revered in Quebec...

[scielle]

I can see Celine saying something along those lines. Rene was her soulmate. I'm a big believer in God only creating 1 person for you in the world. 2 people made for eachother.

 

Yeah. It saddens me to think that might be forever gone for her. They must have discussed it, and I'm sure Rene wouldn't want her to spend the rest of her life mourning him, but I just can't imagine her moving on at all.

She's going to be so lonely...

And it must be doubly hard if you make a living singing love songs.

 

I wonder how long before we see her laugh again. Really laugh.

I realize it was René's wishes to have this lavish funeral but I couldn't help think that something private might have been more appropriate. Idiots next to me taking selfies in Church. The world's gone mad!!

Grief is such a difficult experience. She is visibly drained, probably more exhausted than she's ever had to deal with, and still has responsibilities she wants to fulfill. The viewing yesterday is an example - she didn't have to spend seven hours there, no one would've thought less of her at all if she'd spent little time at the basilica. But that's Celine

 

The sadness will be up and down for her, I'm sure. Some moments she probably seems to be doing well, then others the strain is visible. Hopefully after today, and after the family puts her brother to rest too, she will give herself adequate time to recuperate. And whatever that is varies for everybody.

[Cheri Marie]

Selfies?? Seriously?? I didn't take a selfie on opening weekend! They were probably young, crass and stupid. I need some cheerful, so I'm going to watch 3Boys and a New Show tonight.

[CelineDionFreak]

I've been watching some of Through the Eyes of the World, and I just saw the SSDA scene in Arras. That song means so much more now. And seeing Rene makes me a little happier. Now that he's gone it means something so much more different but I love seeing him happy.

considering they are so famous in Quebec and around the world and they have shared many life events with fans, this seemed natural and, of course, Celine was the center of attention. Edited January 23, 2016 at 04:11 AM by infiniti

Yeah, but I sense this was the one time in her life she really didn't want to be the center of attention.

 

Also - USA Today article has this:

"The casket was later taken to Montreal's Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery for a private graveside ceremony."

I really do hope that her extended family and friends spend the evening together. Thats what my family has always done when some passed. It was a great way to bring you back into the present after a draining couple of days alone with constant reminders of what you once had is no more and there will no longer be 'firsts' and 'lasts' already passed without you realizing it. There is a legacy and network of people that love on and are forever changed because of that person. Celine deserves to surround herself with those who love her and loved Rene as much as she did. Its very therapeutic and helps the grieving process, if not bring it closer the end. And Celine deserves that more than anything right now.

Yes, I am sure, she did not want to be, but they shared their grief with fans too.

Unfortunately, I had to work today. So, I was not able to watch the funeral. I did, however, just finish reading everybody's posts and looking at photographs. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

 

Godspeed, Rene. Thank you for everything you gave this world, musically or otherwise.

Ditto. The E! clip and listening to RC speak was touching.

Tried again still no luck please guys anyone who can help please rip the funeral off CTV for those who couldn't see it. Again from my experience GetFLV (full version)works. I'm really sorry to everyone that I can't get it for you guys but right now I can't afford paying for the full program that rips it. Now I am going to lie down and watch some TV. Hopefully tomorrow we will have th full service available for download. If I can do anything else to help anyone willing to rip it feel free to message and I'll do what I can. Until tomorrow goodnight to all of you. Edited January 23, 2016 at 05:53 AM by Kristinaz

Anyone noticed Celine did their famous LV Ok after she put the flowers on the casket?

I think we all did

[Modesta]

I woke up with 3 heures 20 playing in my head The entrance was so very sad and yet beautiful. I don't think I'll ever forget it.

 

And when she was by the coffin, I realized it actually was 3:20 there, and that's when the lyrics really hit me. In 1984 she sang it as a teen age love song, about meeting the man she loved, no matter what. And now for the very last time, she met the love of her life, the man she had loved all these years. At Trois Heures Vingt.

 

Oh god, I'm going to cry again

Yestreday, it was such an emotional day, but I'm glad they gave us the opportunity to be present to the ceremony. Thank you all for staying together and giving strength to each other. May God bless Celine and her family. Edited January 23, 2016 at 08:57 AM by giannislyber

Trois heures vingt (Patrick Lemaitre / Eddy Marnay)

 

Je t'ai dit non, ça ne voulait rien dire

J'avais encore très peur hier

Il me fallait le temps de réfléchir

J'étais encore bien jeune hier

Mais ne fais pas cette tête

Tout ira bien tu le sais

Puisqu'à la fin, où tu vas

Je vais

On part ensemble, ok, c'est décidé

Tu veux m'emmener loin d'ici

Tout est prévu tu as tout arrangé

Pour demain dans l'après-midi

J'ai mes parents qui m'attendent

Ne t'en fais pas je viendrai

Puisque toujours, où tu vas

Je vais

 

Je viendrai

Trois heures vingt, place d'Italie

Je viendrai

Pas plus tard que la demie

Je viendrai, bien sûr

Je viendrai, c'est sûr

Ne crains rien

Je viendrai

 

Je viendrai

Trois heures vingt, j'ai bien compris

Je viendrai

Pas plus tard que la demie

Pas question, c'est dit

De changer d'avis

Ne crains rien

Je viendrai

 

Ne t'en fais pas j'ai confiance

Tu ne te trompes jamais

Et puis tu sais, où tu vas

Je vais

 

Translation (Thanks to "www.celinedionweb.com")

 

I told you no, it meant nothing

I was still very scared yesterday

I needed time to think

I was still very young yesterday

But don't pull a face

It will be fine you know

Since in the end, where you go

I go

 

We leave together, ok, it's decided

You want to take me far from here

Everything is planned you set everything

For tomorrow in the afternoon

My parents are waiting for me

Don't worry I will come

Since always, where you go

I go

 

I will come

Twenty past three, Italy square

I will come

Not later than half

I will come, of course

I will come, for sure

Do not fear

I will come

 

I will come

Twenty past three, I did understand

I will come

Not later than half

No chance, it is said

Of changing my mind

Do not fear

I will come

 

Don't worry I trust you

You never fail

And then you know, where you go

I go

This was the first time i heard this song. It was so beautiful and touching to hear this song in the church. Celine sounds angelic. Very beautiful last choice.

Is somenone could find the video of the entire ceremony so we can download it ? In french obviously, with no english translation. Please.

 

I just want to say to you, to all of you, fans of Céline that we are together in this terribly moment. I would like to thank you to have been here with me during this tough week. All over the world, we were there with her, for her and this is because of René. So Merci Monsieur Angélil, Vous aurez toujours une place particulière dans nos vies et nous continuerons d'aimer Céline aussi fort que vous l'avez aimé.

 

A vous les enfants, l'héritage que vous laisse votre père est un héritage d'amour. Bénissez le et chérissez le car vous pouvez en être fier.

 

We are a family, we are all your family and don't forget that wherever you go we'll be there. We Love U Céline.

My first time too.

[Critiaslux]

The entrance was magical and haunting.

A very well chosen song, Mr Angélil; a usual.

[drove all night]

These brief moments of her, before entering the car, looking back @ the church … Seeing her there in the merciless gaze of the cameras, as she shortly didn't know where to turn to get needed privacy. Fighting to keep dignity despite deepest despair. And then these one or two seconds where the power of this despair and grief was too powerful to keep it inside. GOSH - that really hits me. Today even more than yesterday.

 

I'm so grateful, that they kept the burial private - and I pray to God, that no pictures of that will leak and the security was able to keep all the photographers away from them for these last, more than painful moments, as the casket is lowered into earth.

 

Me too - as all of us - I do love this woman today even more than I thought that I ever could admire someone I haven't ever met in person.

 

I don't wish her to stay strong these days! I would like to pass on to her something, my boss told me the day before my fathers funeral in 2008. She told me: "I don't wish you strength … I wish you the courage to be weak."

 

On Monday she has to say goodbye to her beloved brother. But afterwards I truly hope she can have the luxury and courage of being weak!

 

Oh, Céline! I do hope that especially you have the luxury to be weak and let out these immense grief. You stayed like a rock in this immense sea of worldwide grief. For René, your kids, your family and friends and your fans and the persons who admired René. The strength you showed the world up til now is beyond remarkable! It's royal dignity with so much love and respect for those who came to express their sympathies.

 

Thank you, Céline! Thank you, Réne! For sharing your exceptional love story with the world! It will remain for me forever as a symbol how deep love can be!

And - as someone wrote somewhere and I didn't realize yesterday while watching - they really entered the church @ 3:20 ... GOSH!!!!
