Céline on En direct de l'univers (Radio-Canada) - September 17th, 2016

[nuts2you]

I think I remember in MSMD on how rene Proposed to her,

[flutefreak]

One thing for sure is they have the best love story. I will never grow tired of hearing her talk about it

 

[Hilda]

omg this was such a fun show to watch. robin was my favourite bit

[Xpresso]

What a great show! I hope Céline got inspired to do some of her songs the way they were done on this show.

Robin seems like such a sweet lady... I guess Céline likes to have calm friends around her.

I loved when the whole Dion family showed up, and the part with RC was very funny.

[scielle]

One of the songs from last night's show - what a great video!

I just watched the whole thing and I loved this. She was absolutely on fire, and in the final song went she let herself loose and went to dance it was CRAZY I think we've never seen her dance like that since the Unison videoclip

 

Je capote

Hm....are you sure? I remember that interview pretty well and I think she said bathrobes there as well. Maybe you are confusing this with the other interview with Rosie where she was telling about the night they did her surprise party for her 30th birthday? At that interview, she did say they were dressed beautifully for a nice dinner.

yeah they were in bathrobes and he was turning off and closing the door ect..because he was so nervous

[celinefanonline]

u know i actually think if they use the oh happy day / love can move mountain on Celine's show it would be pretty nice!!!

This was such a well-done show, but you know something -- I almost think there were too many emotional surprises, especially the very personal ones. There was just SO MUCH crying . . . when her whole family was singing Mamy Blue -- such a powerful moment, but she was crying so hard. I don't think I've ever seen her cry like that on camera. And when Ginette Reno came out, touched and delighted as she was, her first reaction almost seemed like annoyance . .like what she said later, about thinking they're maybe trying to kill her. When Robin came on, again, she was crying so hard. They were all sweet surprises, but I felt for her after awhile -- she just kept getting hit with one mega-emotional moment after another, with no time to process. I'm sure they meant well, but it just seemed to be a bit too overwhelming to be really able to be enjoyed -- I think it may have been better for her if they'd done only one or two mega-personal surprises. Just a thought.

 

Another thing about that Mamy Blue moment -- I'm pretty sure Fred Pellerin said Therese and Adhemar had: 14 children, 32 grandchildren, and 48 great-grandchildren - and that they are expecting the first great-great granchild in February. That's nearly 100 people!! How on earth does Maman Dion maintain relationships with all of them? And those 48 great-grandchildren. . I wonder what it's like to have Celine Dion as your great-aunt. "Oh, yes, we're going to see Great-Aunt Celine at Christmastime" :-)

This. 100%. I love them together. Such a beautiful relationship.

 

So funny how Celine says they were in bathrobes, cuz when she told this story back in 1996 on Rosie, she said they were dressed beautifully for a nice dinner, then Rene started crying....

 

This is actually one story where she's remained remarkably consistent over the years - she told Rosie about the bathrobes, too. Some of her other stories have become embellished over time, but this one has remained so simple, and I love that, because it's so real.

 

Here she is, telling Rosie about it in 1996, starting about 8:50. It's impossible to watch this and not smile:

it was very touching, and apparently this is in eight years of history of this program the time when the guest have cried the most, poor Celine. But it was great nonetheless.

[CelineDionFreak]

Does anyone know if Céline sees Robin and Coco much now? When they came out she started bawling so I'm just assuming she doesn't see them as much as well, when they were right next door?

I have to agree. She was crying so hard and so much by the end I started worrying about her well-being, it was a lot to process emotionally.

[scielle]

The little interview with Robin on the EDU FB page sounds like they've kept in touch.

I saw bits and pieces of that one. I'll have to watch it all!

 

I think that long one with Robin rehearsing is gone!!

I really love the fact that Céline's best friends are not "famous" people and they seem to be very normal regular people and that they respect her privacy.

Yes, and that seems to be very much the case with RC's friends, too. Yeah, they're on social media like all kids their age, but they're totally normal and discrete and not gaga over his celebrity-by-association.

[chocolatechip15]

Robin is a friend from Florida . . Coco I'm pretty sure is Coco Lacroix, Pierre Lacroix's wife. Not sure where they live now, but they're originally from Quebec. Pierre was a very very close friend of Rene's (e.g. stayed with him in LA when he was in the hospital after his surgery and Celine went back to Vegas to perform; and I recall a story about another friend of Rene's saying Rene would send messages to him through Pierre. Sounds like Rene saw Pierre very frequently). So I imagine Celine saw Coco as well.

 

And this article says that Pierre and Coco brought property in Lake Las Vegas before Celine and Rene did. http://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/celine-dions-husband-ren-ang-lil-dies-after-long-battle-cancer

Celine actually sees Coco very often (I'm assuming) because Coco and Pierre live in Las Vegas now. Also, there were photos of Coco leaving the hotel back in June in Paris with Celine and Linda.

 

Not so sure about Robin considering she lives in Florida and Celine's not really in Florida anymore, but I did see Robin at the funeral (she came up to Celine during the viewing) and she looked like she was with her kids. I assume she comes to visit Celine in Vegas more than Celine can go and see her.

[scielle]

I think Pierre and Coco's son Eric, a former NHL player, actually runs (or is one of the coaches) for the junior hockey program in LV that RC is part of.

[TiagoFragoso05]

Apparently you can watch it here, but it's not available in my country.

 

Did someone recorded the show?

Where are the screencaps and everything?

Oops, sorry, u are right. She did say bathrobe in that interview. Sorry for the confusion, I am getting old now apparently....

No worries and no need to apologize! I was re-watching the Rosie interviews lately that's how I remembered....it's not that I remember everything she's said over the years!! Remember....she loves to talk!

[browseceline]

Wow this show is unique and love her response to the singing by Barnev and all the others..

Oh and I want to say it again, this time Law Roach - you completely nailed it with this really gorgeous green dress that suits a queen!

Wow wow wow wow how beautiful and exquisite she looks in this outfit!

I think Coco was one the people,along with Mia Dumont, who helped celine plan her wedding back in '94

[celinesounds]

OMG Celine should do a duet with Isabelle Boulay

[DionFanAlways]

I absolutely adore this dress!

She looked gorgeous.

[celinefanonline]
