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

[PuraVida]

I have to believe because she was still was traveling to Europe for tours when not performing in Vegas, and they did come with her until the Courage tour on these tours. I believe having to take RC out of school weeks at a time probably caused him to have problems and lead to them going back to home schooling. Also with her being such a big star can't be easy to find a school where you are treated as just another student and not Celine's sons. Also right when the twins would be starting school Rene was still battling cancer so Celine might not have wanted to have them away from home knowing anytime the boys could lose their father.

 

Yes, but weren't those summer tours? They would normally have summer breaks. She could schedule the summer tours around their schooling schedule, just like she did with Rc for a time.

 

But anyway, I'm sure Celine and the twins had their reasons.

I was watching videos from Madonna’s new tour and it looks really amazing, as always. We are getting into this new era of touring, with this big high tech structure, with setlists up to 40 songs, almost 3-hours length shows. Madonna, Beyoncé and Taylor are doing great spectaculars.

 

And I can’t help but wonder what a big world tour from Celine would look like in this new scenario, if she wasn’t dealing with her health issues. She is one of the big touring artists of all time, so I imagine a lot of people in the industry would have interest in put something in this level for her.

 

Can you imagine her somehow singing 40 songs in a show? We probably would get some songs that she never sang live. I truly believe we would get the bigger show of her entire career so far.

That would really be a dream come true, around 40 songs and almost 3 hours of show time

[Ukrfan]

I don't think Celine would have been able to do that.

I find her new concert to be a bit messy and Madonna doesn’t move much unlike before. She’s always suspended on air with these box just standing there.

 

I think her Rebel Heart Tour is much better for me. Better choreos, Better outfits, Better visuals, Great Songs. And got lucky to hear her singing Crazy For You when she did a concert here in our country (Rebel Heart Tour 2016)

Team Celine changed the front pics of many videos on YouTube, like on taking chances music video, shadow of love live video or declaration of love live video or et je t'hime encore music video for example

[PuraVida]

They posted something on Instagram to commemorate 1FQT....but of course the resolution of the video they posted was low quality.

 

A proper commemoration would be to remaster those music videos, for a start.

Here I go make comparisons again, but I can’t help it:

 

I just read an interview with the director of Crossroads (Britney Spears teen movie) saying that all it took for Sony to rerelease the movie on theaters now and make a deal with a streaming platform was a call from Britney. He tried for years with his lawyers to negotiate a streaming deal for it, and never got an answer. Britney just made a call, cause she wanted to put the movie out there together with her new book, and they just did it. And they didn’t even have the rights, they bought from Paramount just for her.

 

It makes me wonder if all the things we don’t have from Celine’s vault (that we complain about it everyday) it’s just because Celine never asked for it. (Obviously, I’m talking here about pre-SPS diagnosis. Now she has other things to worry about).

 

I mean, Britney has not work since 2016, if I’m not mistaken. And she has no intention to go back anytime soon. But all it took was a call from her to Sony bought the rights for her movie and rerelease on theaters, and here we are crying to have to a simple dvd/blueray of stuff they already own it.

Yes I think it is. Like I said before; Céline is someone who only looks towards the future, not the past. Unfortunately! I don't know if it's her humbleness or that she just isn't interested. I wish Céline was more involved in her back catalogue like Mariah or Madonna are. Of course she has other things on her mind now... but still

I think she is just someone that always is looking forward the "best is yet to come" thinking. How many times in interviews has she said I don't look back. It is unfortunate that since Rene's passing and Aldo being out of the picture there is no one to promote her legacy. We can all agree right now she needs to focus on her health, but maybe someday those vaults will open.

[comingback]

Does anyone know what RC studies/studied? Maybe he could be her manager in the future. Remember what he said to Rene in the Oprah docu 3 Boys And A New Show: I'm the manager😄. Edited October 19, 2023 at 04:43 PM by comingback

It is clearly a mistake. These are the cancelled dates.

Not quite sure why you are querying if this is a mistake. Well all know the tour was cancelled and why. She isn't exactly sneakily touring behind our backs.

It’s a glitch in the matrix.

They were maybe hoping that Celine and her team were gearing up to announce new tour dates… which would be a miracle… and this got accidentally leaked.

No, they forgot to delete the cancelled show from her Spotify. I think they not even entered her page since the release of the soundtrack. )

Is this new? 👀 I mean, it could be the version without IYA, but with I Met An Angel. I hope that there is something new, cause I saw that they are releasing a vinyl too (and they already did that last year).

Just listening to this masterpiece on repeat. So beautiful

[kaye2023]

On the topic of education, I have to legit laugh that a few people truly have celebrity fan rose-tinted glasses on when they practically argue that a grade school level education is more than sufficient (and questions the value of a HS education lol)—it is not ideal for anyone, let alone someone being groomed for global superstardom. Saying Réne did a disservice or any other criticism of how he handled some things doesn't mean I think he is the devil or that he was utter trash (one can absolutely respect what he's done AND still quibble on some aspects) so the bizarre proclamation that one is, uh, "Team Réne" is comical and juvenile... (congrats? Lol). It's because I appreciate Réne's abilitites and obvious intellect that's why this issue is one of the few contentious ones I find worthy to be critical of. I have already mentioned a handful ways it could have impacted/seems to have impacted Céline, it is unnecessary to repeat what I've already posted.

 

Mariah Carey finished. Whitney finished, her mother Cissy insisted despite offers left and right.

 

Even young affluent Taylor Swift did... and speaking of Swift, the level of encouragement her early handlers (parents, in this case) to understand her career and business beyond just focusing on the performance is commendable. Swift already had a pretty strong grasp of it in her 20s. To put it bluntly, had Swift's parents died back then, career-wise, Swift would have undoubtedly transitioned taking reins seamlessly. Had Réne passed away, say, the time around WDYHBN or BATB, despite her almost veteran level success in French territories, I doubt she could have piloted her career as seamlessly and to where she is now. This is not an insult nor an attack on her intellect (I've already said earlier I find her smart), but a note on the level of disadvantageous compartmentalization and sheltering done on her.

 

This could also explain her personal disinterest in the business/commercial side (not releasing certain materials, exploring/tapping other avenues of $$ like Rihanna, Grande; her bag/perfume lines that disappeared, reliance on old teams, etc) that fans on this board complain about, the management wobbles post Réne's passing, and to me (and I could be very wrong) it feels like their family's varied personal investments (real estate, mirage, the bar, etc) was more a Réne thing than hers... I'd like to chalk it up to "well, she's simply not a capitalist" (and that's very okay) but everything taken together...

 

Well, we can agree to disagree, the above is only my opinion and I know we are all just observers looking into fragments of Céline's world. The matter is moot as of 2023. All that's of any relevance now is our wish she recovers and be able to enjoy the fruits of her labor of several decades.

 

Sometimes I wish I didn't come across that Quebec poster's comment. True or not, it's messing with my emotions ever since.

[kaye2023]

René not Réne lol ^ can't edit. Whatsgoingonbrain...

[Állex Sodi]

Had Réne passed away, say, the time around WDYHBN or BATB, despite her almost veteran level success in French territories, I doubt she could have piloted her career as seamlessly and to where she is now.

 

Although I will always advocate for a complete education, at this point this is not a topic I’m interested about. But that particular sentence call my attention and I have to said I disagree with it.

 

First of all, Celine would not be able to handle by herself her career without Rene, after that point, not because she was uneducated but because was a industry run by white males.

At that moment, Celine had probably got the eye of every other rich white man in the business (like Mottola). If Rene wasn’t there anymore, a lot of those would be happy to take handle of her career.

 

I’m not one of those fans who dies of love for Rene. I can’t help but wonder where her career would’ve go without him. Cause, thing is, he might’ve been a good manager, but he was also a controlling husband (abusive, IMO) that limited Celine in several ways. It is, IMO, one of the reasons why Celine has such a conservative image that blocked her to create connection with newer generations.

 

You made association between her lack of education and the fact that she doesn’t control her business, or seems to be interested in expanding, like other female singers do. Well, again, this is, in my opinion, Rene’s fault. Those young female artists, most of the time, have no control over their business. But, with time, they become really valuable to the market and begin to demand more control, fight the men, and they learn how to do it, and they start doing things on their own. Celine never had that. Not because she didn’t finish her education, but because the man she would have to fight was her own husband. Not just that, he was the man she met when she was 12yo and who made her believe, from her childhood, that he was and he would always be the answer for her.

 

Rene took away all chance Celine have to be her own woman. Her education was just part of it.
