Random news, thoughts and common questions about Celine (closed)

[Boy]

got a question actually)) i guess Celine has never been much of a book lover, a reader. but still - has she ever mentioned any books she loves?? or at least any books she read?? Edited June 6, 2013 at 08:02 PM by Boy

The only book I remember her talking about is The Secret from Rhonda Byrne

if I am right... she also mentioned other French ones, but I don't remember those.

[celine-rc]

I don't remember her talking about that one. I do remember her talking about Et si c'était vrai... by Marc Levy. It's translated in like fourty languages.

Celine is a fan of the secret ?

[Davey84]

I thought so... but i might be wrong

My friend swears by that book and I keep meaning to buy it ...apparently you can't borrow it , you have to get the secret for yourself.

But now Celine may be a fan that's given me the extra push to go check it out! Lol

In For Keeps, she mentioned that there was a book she loved so much she was thinking about it while she was performing, wondering what happened next in the book, and then felt guilty about that, lol. I don't remember the name of the book, though.

[québecflower]

50 Shades of Grey, Lol!

 

not enough for her , the story of O would be my guess

Here's a new HuffPost interview with Diane Warren! She mentions Unfinished Songs at 7:15 -- and then at 7:57 she tells a funny story about If You Asked Me To -- how she told Rene that it should be in Celine's Vegas James Bond medley because it was originally a song for a James Bond movie! I never knew that!

I just watched that and ya it was in "Liscense to Kill" Patti Labelle's version was in the film. But it was never deemed a true "Bond song" because it was just in the credits because it wasn't the film's theme song

I was thinking this morning about the goosebumps I got in the nineties when I discovered something new from Celine.

 

1992 I was in Santa Ana, a town outside San Jose, Costa Rica. I looked at the window of a small store and saw Incognito. I couldn't believe it... so Celine also sang in French??? was my first thought, and of course I had to buy it immediately and played it a lot.

 

1994 I won a trip to Paris... I was in the kitchen preparing my dinner and I had MTV on. They said, now we debut the new video from Celine Dion, "Think Twice". I was and the next day I looked for the single everywhere, but never found it. As I went back to CR, I stopped at Miami for a few hours, went to a small commercial centre near the airport. I was browsing at a small Latin CD store, and there I found the CD single. I was amazed.

 

1995 my sister shouts: a new mysterious video from Celine is on TV!!! I almost broke my legs going down the stairs, and it was PQTME, the first French video I got to see of hers.

 

1996 I'm eating lunch preparing to watch Melrose Place and the ad for Up Close & Personal with a huge part of the BYLM video shows. My fork dropped.

 

1997 Grammys: Album of the Year. My heart is pounding... she wins... my mom and sister scream with me She won! She won!... priceless.

 

1999 I read that TTWII is the next single. I call the main AC station to request that song at least every hour and I fake different voices. I think I had a callus on my finger at the end of the week. Then I get the taped song in not a great quality, but it was played a million times, it had become my favorite single, and to date it still is...

 

There are so many Celine moments in my life, that I would spend the whole day typing about them.

 

I hope new moments like this will soon come!

Love this story

That book is one of her favourites and was a gift from Anne-Marie (according to celinedion.com) but in For Keeps, it said it was a gift from Sophie (Patrick's partner)

[Davey84]

Maybe they gave it together.... cheapo's!!!

Haha, that is too funny! It reminds me of the time in 1998 when I listened to a radio station for 16 hours straight because you could win Celine tickets if you were the 10th caller when one of her songs came on. I managed to be the 1st caller for "Tell Him" and the 8th for "When I Fall in Love," but I was never the 10th. (But my awesome mom got me tix for the concert!). Then, a year later, I actually did win tix from a different station -- by correctly identifying the song MHWGO (Kind of funny, since practically the entire world could identify that song!). But I won tix to see the taping of the All the Way special in Radio City -- it was awesome. Somewhere I still have the tape of me on the radio, shrieking with excitement when they said i'd won the tix.

[LuisMa]

OMG lucky you! I remember in 96 there was a special program on this TV station and they had a raffle of 5 Costa Rican-produced BYLM singles, and I desperately wanted them... I called like a million times and my call never got through. I was so disappointed, and never in my life I did see any of those one-of-a-kind singles. Probably it was a scam to earn money from the callers.

Maybe it was such a great book that they both gave it to her!

Okay, I have admittedly just had the greatest idea ever. In the Vegas show, Celine should put on the setlist......"First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"!!!!!!!

 

It would be incredible with the orchestra. AHHHHHH~

Yes, I spent part of last night reading the "Falling Into You" book and some other books, as I recalled I had read it somewhere. Thank you!

Which Celine songs were at the top of the charts of your country?

 

I live in Australia so:

 

The Power of Love, Because You Loved Me and My Heart Will Go On reached number 1.

Think Twice reached number 2.

Also, five of her albums have reached number 1. The Taking Chances album, despite only peaking at number 12, still managed to become a platinum selling album.

TFTEISYF would sound both beautiful and amazing in Vegas.

Here in Spain "Falling Into You" was number 1.

 

I'm from Costa Rica, and there, "That's The Way It Is" and "My Heart Will Go On" were the chart toppers. I even have the chart when TTWII was on the way to the top, and they published the lyrics:

Let me try and remember. I know that "Think Twice" was huge here in Ireland because that's when I first discovered Celine (Recorded the song from radio onto a tape and wore it out from rewinding and playing it). The Power Of Love and Only One Road were also huge here. I remember they got quite a lot of air play on the radio here. I also know that All by Myself and It's All Coming Back were also very popular here. Regarding "Let's Talk About Love", we even had the TV promo playing every day announcing the album. If I remember correctly it showed clips of Tell Him and The Reason. Let's Talk About Love (The album) was huge here thanks to the TV spots, It reached number one within days. When A New Day was released we also received TV promos for the album and I remember HMV and Golden Discs having a huge poster in their stores. I bought the album the day it came out (Chardonnay bought also as my tradition) and I know that it sold out within hours because I convinced my best friend Frances to buy a copy and when we went back to HMV all the copies were sold out and we were just lucky enough to get a copy in Golden Discs.
