"“I only had to go into the studio and fix a couple of her notes,” Miss Piggy said in an interview with the Canadian Press.

Dion took the high road and did not issue a public response."

:giggle:

 

Oh, I loved everything about this cameo. I wish she'd do something like it again.

They’ll probably tweet a courtesy message on Twitter for her birthday, and that’s as far as they’ll go for it :P

I'm so glad we have Brendan Kelly writing about Celine. He's always on point and his pieces are always a great entry point for non-fans or those who don't normally pay attention. And I'm so with him on waiting for an English version of D'Eux...

 

" [... ]And she’s enjoying her new freedom. Last year she parted ways with manager Aldo Giampaolo, who had been hand-picked by Angélil as his successor to steer her career, and she is by all accounts now making the big business decisions herself. At Browns last summer, she loved talking up this new reality. “Let me be clear: c’est moi le boss,” Dion said. “I’m not playing bossy. I am the boss.” Ba-da-boom!

 

So who knows what 50-something Dion will get up to? When I spoke to her in the summer of 2016, just before her series of 10 shows at the Bell Centre, she told me how she now sat in on all the meetings with her managers and agents, and that she would often drive her associates crazy with her outside-the-box ideas. She went on to say she’d love to do a concert featuring her least-known songs, and that she dreams of going out and singing her favourite tunes from the Doobie Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival and AC/DC. She might not be singing Thunderstruck any time soon, but the fact that she’s even fantasizing about it is pretty tantalizing.

 

In short, Dion has become a much more interesting person in the past few years, although it could be argued her francophone audience already knew that more intriguing Céline from early on: her franco material has been way less predictable for ages now, and on stage en français, she’s been pretty darn funny for a long, long time.

 

But will her offbeat personality ever manifest itself in Dion’s music? That is la question qui tue. Again, she has done some great work in the language of Brel — most notably the brilliant 1995 album D’eux, built around the songs of Jean-Jacques Goldman. Those of us who are familiar with her work in both languages have been waiting more than 20 years for the English-language equivalent of D’eux.

 

Might that be coming now that Dion is calling the shots? Maybe. Forget AC/DC — I’d love to see Dion Sings Costello, where Elvis Costello composes a set of songs specifically designed for her. How cool would that be? And I bet Costello would agree to this project quicker than you could say “what’s so funny about peace, love and understanding?” But would Dion? That, I’m not so sure of. But we could all be surprised.

 

That day in the summer of 2016, on the phone from a home she rented in Beloeil, she said she was looking out the window at all the different types of trees and was dreaming of how she could get her band and that they’d all sit on “apple boxes and sing acoustic songs, with a little fire and marshmallows, and we could sing till the end of the night, till the fireflies come out.”

 

So don’t count her out. The story of the emancipation of Céline isn’t over yet."

Mais qui peut dire, qu’il peut vivre sans amour, qui?

Has anyone figured out where / how to get a digital version of this? Tried iTunes store,7 Jours iPad app, Texture... basically the usual suspects for digital magazines, but no joy, and the TVA site doesn't seem to have a digital version available either.

This 50th birthday special of Céline in La Presse+ is great.

I recommend it to anyone who can read French,because there are many articles by journalists who have been following her career for years and seem to know everything about her.

Is it an edition only about Céline?

So, no paper version of it? And if itks a paper version, is the addition a ‘magazine’ only about Céline, or is it just an article in the added magazine?

La Presse stopped publishing a daily paper version a few months ago and now only publishes the free La Presse+ daily.It's a very elaborate newspaper and Céline 50th special is a full section with pics and many articles.To get La Presse+ each day at 5:AM without having to do anything,you must download the app in Google Play or Apple store.

Wow, you weren't kidding. That feature is extensive! They covered a lot of ground. Wish this was all available online, not just via the app, for easy sharing.
