Celine to Receive ICON Award, Perform at Billboard Awards - May 22nd, 2016

[SuperLove4Celine]

Off topic: What songs did Britney perform tonight during her medley? Thanks!

[Peppercorn1991]

It's taken me this long to get over the performance! It was AMAZING!!! I was in total shock for like 30 mins

[chy2j]

Our Queen performance is indeed a CELEBRATION OF LIFE

[Brandon]

For the very first time， i dont mind whether she was using playback or not, but i love this performancr. One the beethoven beat was on, i was already like WOW, i dont giv a damn about live or playback on this amazing performance. Bravo Queen Celine

haha lol

I'm speechless...

#speechless

btw anyone else noticed how Seal didnt mention JLo as a recipient of the award??? he looked like he would choke if he said her name hahahah and stopped at Prince

AS they were naming off the recipients, I was hoping that JLO wouldn't be included in the list of artsists and she wasn't

 

Haha, Aldo got smart

hehe, maybe he did listen to us after all

Listen all you little Mary come latelys who NEVER post on this forum until something is actually going on...She was not lip syncing. That performance was live Live LIVE LIVING!! Watch those muscles in her throat STRETCHING as she was BELTING those notes. It was INF*CKINGCREDIBLE!!! EASILY her most defining moment in her Anglophone career. She not only commanded that stage, she OWNED that entire room. Take your half empty glasses, and have SEVERAL seats. This woman just vocally slayed the entire world.

Best post you ever made,

[chawatak]

The feedback is INCREDIBLE WOW!!!!

video???

[mike_z]

I just read this comment:

 

"Celine should learn how to lipsync. In an awards show like this playback should be forbidden"

 

 

 

On the good side, she's back on the charts!

Maybe she sang over the track... I mean, it remains me The power of the dream in 1996 and the micro was on, I'am sure it was too but I was like a protection in case she could have had problems like many times she had in the past. What a great night.

[CelinesDIVO5]

Aww, the dildo from the Incognito album cover is gilded on the trophy!

 

I AM DEAD!! LMFAO

[lyn]

used to be able to tell when she was lipping but whatever it is, she's gotten better It was an epic performance and i loved that honest moment with RC. sigh. Come to think of it, I haven't enjoyed a Billboard performance like that since her eggplant pants in '99

[maria_k]

I wonder if they gonna put it on vevo so I can watch it million times today,

3 hours to sleep, but totally worth it, have no words to decribe how much I love this woman

[LVCeline]

I'm with the majority here, that may have just been the most legendary television performance she has ever given. It was absolutely epic in every way and exceeded my expectations by light years. She looked amazing, she performed like a superstar and a diva, she sounded flawless and powerful and everything I love about her came through in that performance. I normally cringe when she's giving speeches, but this one was perfect in every way. She was focused, genuine, humble, grateful, and precise. Rene Charles surprising her with the award was unbelievably precious and adorable and I loved watching that beautiful moment. She loves her kids more than anything in the world, you can easily tell that when she looks at him. He is such a good kid, I love that he's old enough to do these kinds of things with her. I'm also absolutely FLOORED that she has a child his age! I still think of the naive, innocent, youthful Celine of the 90's and cannot believe that is her kid! I'm swelling with pride, adoration, love, and happiness for her tonight, this will absolutely go down in the Celine history book as easily one of the greatest performances of her entire career!

Epic, extraordinary performance, and such an emotional moment with RC afterwards.

 

I was in awe of her strength during the song; my heart broke for her when she said to RC that she didn't want to cry in front of him, and when she said, "Rene, this one's for you. The show must go on," . .but was crying so it was hard for her to say it. . . i don't think there was a dry eye anywhere. So much love and emotion and strength.

 

What a powerful moment.

Awww,love seeing Celine star struck over Madonna and Stevie.

If they upload this video to her VEVO account then I'm sold with Aldo!

Just because the few of us with the ears to know it was lipped, it does not mean we disrespect or didn't like the performance. I, we completely agree that it was amazing and she commanded that stage, but did she lip? 1000%, I bet my life on it and I'm okay with that. There's no need to start yet another war amongst us. #teamceline

Thanks! The ones making a big fuss about it are the ones who believe it was live. But it was not. Die-hard Celine fans should know right away when she lips though.

 

Because yeah we don't care. That performance was epic, and for me to think that a performance was good despite it being a playback, it really has to be something good! And this was just awesome!!!

[scielle]

Oh wow. Wow. Wow.

I'm still recovering.

Loved that they made note of her French career. And that photo of hear from c. 1981 singing Ce n'etait un reve.... awwwww.

And she killed it.

And she gave the most genuine speech - and I love that the first thing she did was acknowledge Lindsay. Pure class, as always.

 

But my god, RC presenting her with the award was just priceless. I was so hoping she'd bring him, so she'd have someone there to celebrate with, but THIS?!! This I certainly did not expect. Whoever came up with the idea - and convinced RC to do it! - Bravo!

 

And a big bravo to RC.

At the time of the funeral, someone rightfully said that your average 15-year-old boy would not be caught dead holding his mother's hand... well, this kid's got his hear in the right place. Respect. Rene would be so, so proud.

 

Definitely an epic, defining moment of her career.

[I Drove All Night!]

I still can't get over how handsome and poised RC is. It's such a testament to how great his parents are.

[Alex_Incognito]

And I'm out. Enjoyed watching this live with everyone tonight. Bonne nuit!

[mebe]

They just talked about her on the news and they showed the end of her speech... Guess what? I cried again! lol lol
