Céline on Billboard Music Awards - May 21st, 2017

[jpatdeleon09]

What does Céline say in her message? "Hi, I'm Céline Dion" (no need to say Dion in my opinion LOL)...

"I just finished rehearsing MHWGO...then ?????? ...I'm very excited..." but that's all I can figure out.

Is she mumbling or is it me?

 

Hi, I'm Céline Dion... Just finished rehearsing My Heart Will Go On and I'm at the Billboard Music Awards and I'm very excited. Stay tuned on Sunday! Ciao!

I have always had the understanding that she sang the song in one take when she recorded it so that Horner could play it for Cameron. Cameron "famously" said" "That's the take I want in the movie!", and so it is. However, they went back into the studio and re-recorded the track for her album.

 

I remember having this information back in 1997 when the song was first coming out. Somewhere on a VHS tape, I have tons of old Celine-on-TV, and one of them is something from VH1 in 1997 with the story of the one take, but then they re-recorded it for the album. My husband actually just got me a device to transfer all my VHS tapes into digital files. It will take me years to go through everything but eventually, I hope to find it.

 

I know it exists because I've seen it at least 200 times over the past 20 years. I haven't been a ridiculous rabid fan (of anything) since sometime in my 30s, so it's probably been 7-10 years since I've come across it. Time to start hacking my way through my collection......

Please sing for once the movie/soundtrack version, Céline!

[jpatdeleon09]

I want to see and hear the audience sing with Céline on 21 Edited May 19, 2017 at 01:19 PM by jpatdeleon09

Her voice in the movie version sounds like she just swallowed a helium balloon Just like in the I'm Alive version that plays during the credits of the Stuart Little movie

 

That said, my favourite version is that one played in the movie/soundtrack. The orchestation is, if I can say, finer and more epic than the LTAL version.

I think with her recent vocal problems, she should sing the soundtrack version. It's a little more subdued, but still powerful.

I like the movie version, much better than the single / LTAL version. I've heard some people say that too.

In the live version what I do not like is the last refrain it makes, they put the voices of the backvolcals together, it does not get good.

As of April; 2012!

 

"My Heart Will Go On" has now sold 1,147k digital copies in the US.

 

Any updates figures?

[québecflower]

The excitement is building up like crazy now... I can't wait to see this!! :wub:

 

 

 

Yes. That gown was absolutely classy and unique. I've never seen such simple dress and yet so elegant at the same time. I insist I wish she would wear it again (or something very similiar) for this Sunday special event, next with the necklace

So, they are really crying!! This will be amazing! I guess the arrangement is beautiful, The visuals/effects. Everything! Can't wait! Edited May 19, 2017 at 03:11 PM by jpatdeleon09

[CaesarCeline]

This performance is so super hyped!! Can't wait to see it but I feel the stakes are very high for anything to go wrong (cracked note, obvious lip synch...)

I think she'll do lipsync.. but i hope it's not the vegas version

Can ppl outside the states watch this live online?

 

A bit worried as 4music who aired it here last year ain't airing it this year.

I think the climax is going to be lip sync and it is likely that she will use the las vegas version because if she had not used the new track in her recent shows I think. At least I hope she sings the rest of the song live.

We all have such high expectations that for sure some of us will be disappointed.

;-)

[browseceline]

From what i just saw on facebook i am not impressed but who knows what more we have not seen yet.

True, can't please everyone.

[I Drove All Night!]

New behind the scenes interview shows a snippet of the rehearsal (no sound), looks like they're going to try to recreate the Vegas waterfall effect with a beaded circular curtain.....

I was able to find the Getty Images clip with audio of the rehearsal! It is the Vegas playback. Ill upload it to YouTube later this evening and share here.

[flutefreak]

I could be wrong here, but I feel like every performer on the BBMAS last year lipsynced. Is it like a requirement?

Artists usually use playback for rehearsals for shows like this because it's quicker and saves their voice, as I can't imagine her doing vocal warm ups etc for a song that isn't for an audience/won't air...

 

It's simply for the production crew who stage it, lighting to see how it looks, cameras to know which angles to get based on the movements she does etc.

 

I'm excited still!

[maria_k]

Walter sounds a bit bitter, doesn't he? I suppose I understand why from his perspective, but Mottola kind of comes at it from the opposite angle and says it was Horrner's genius

Seems like he does, and I just remember how a few years ago he said something about the time when he worked with Celine and Lara Fabian at the same time, and he had to choose between them, because Celine thought he does his best for Fabian and not for her, and Celine was very (as an artist) jealous because of this

No, artists don't use playback for rehearsals! It's actually the opposite. Sometimes they even practice live when they're planning on doing playback. Rehearsals are for the artist to test the sound, the feedback and all. It's safe to say she's going to use the Las Vegas pre-recorded track. I'm kinda disappointed tbh...

[manu23]

Do we need to keep talking about playback all the time? If she does nobody apart from us (and the usual lambs) will notice. All over the social media people seem excited about this performance but here the same old discussion...
