I seem to remember reading that Andrea Bocelli took to a serious diet regimen after either a horse accident or ski accident awhile ago. I can't remember which one, but he's also at the age now where fitness and health is more important then ever, so I think it's awesome that he is taking his health seriously. Good on him. I think he looks great! :)

I do really appreciate all the times she shows up to these events, stacked with A-listers, and reminds everyone who’s boss.

 

Always reliable. Like clockwork.

 

I mean, it’s gotten to the point she gets standing ovations before she even opens her mouth! (See: Aretha tribute.)

 

BTW, currently trending #2 on YT, globally.

Listen... I know a lot of people may hate on John Legends part, and I’ll even mostly agree, But he was most likely asked to

join, & put yourself in his spot, you get asked to perform with the Queen Celine herself and probably the best male vocalist of all time Andrea... you join can’t blame the man for wanting that. I know I’d join in a heartbeat.

John Legend should have not been part of this - he has not place next to Celine and Andrea. I found his part embarrassing. Edited by LukeD

And IMO even Lady Gaga paled in comparison to Celine. She is a very good singer but her voice did nothing for this song. Just my two cents. It should have been Andrea + Celine.

this is the best version imo

The undisputedly best version for me is still the very first time she sang the song live, at the Oscars. Every note was on point, her voice there was obviously much stronger than the NY outdoor concert one. And as Catherine Zeta Jones said while introducing them at the Oscars: "two of the most glorious voices of our time."

I found her to be too nasal at points in the Oscars version, but I can't deny it was still a very strong performance. Is there an HD version lying around?

Too bad we only saw the low quality version of their performance in the 90’s oscars. Well, the audience were amazed by them anyways, and it got more standing ovation that night. Even my favorite actress Meryl Streep stand and clap for them that night. Clearly, it should have won. I think the only reason “WYB” won is because the rivalry of divas (whitney and mariah) you know fans before lol

100% agreed! I also didn't enjoy Gaga's voice.

It was very nice of them doing this, but singing THE PRAYER together was not a good idea.

I agree, I really like Lady Gaga, but I have to admit , every time she sang it kind of irritated me because I just wanted to hear Celine, as it is her and Andreas song and it just seemed like an annoyance having Gaga join in (I wont even comment on John Legends parts, that was just too irritating to be irritating!!!!!)……………..

Fortunately, I saw the actual performance on TV during the Oscar telecast that day and I was just speechless. Hahaha. I will never forget that moment. I actually didn't know she was performing. I was just watching the Oscars as I always did every year. And when Catherine Zeta Jones started introducing the song, I still didn't know she was talking about The Prayer, because she mentioned the next song was from a film called Quest for Camelot. But here, the film was locally called The Magic Sword. I said, well maybe it's two different films that happened to have the same story. Haha... But once she said: "And will be performed by two of the most glorious voices of our time." I just froze and said: "Wait! Is it Celine? Is it Celine!" And then she said their names and I was just all over the place. Hahaha... "And yes, I hope an HD version of that becomes available on YouTube.

 

Here's the video with Catherine's intro:

I felt that too. I found it unneeded for her to sing those lines. I did not recognise her at first and have to say Gaga is a great vocalist but not with this song imo

Not for me. This perf at the Oscar was amazing, but that's clearly a song for me where she got way better with time. At the Oscar, her voice was quite nazal and metallic. She now incorporates way more soul and interpretation skills in it, it's more round, fuller, richer. She also incorporated an amazing operatic technic which she didn't use before. What she does know with this song is untouchable for me and above what she was doing before also on the pure technic aspect as we keep the same level of precision, but with way more richness.

But I like that she was singing in a higher pitch (closer to the studio version) in the Oscar's perfomance.... I maybe wrong. If someone can confirm this. But she was also hitting the notes better in the Oscars performance. Just compare the first chorus.. the note she hits; Lead us to a PLAAACE.... was on point at the Oscars and a little flat in NY.

 

And can I just say before her post-2000 Oscar performances, that 1999 performance was my most favorite Oscar performance look of hers, better than BATB, BYLM and Titanic look. She was literally like a fairy or a goddess. Hahaha...

Well, agree to disagree. I liked the Oscars most because its the one closest to the original studio version. And the studio version for me is the gold standard. Yes the song has evolved over the years and she has done a lot of amazing improvisations since... but again the gold standard for me is the studio version. If there's a song that plays in heaven, the studio version would probably be the one being played. Hahaha

BTW, I just have a question. When they submitted the song to the Oscars and the Golden Globes, of course they can only submit the one used in the soundtrack/film (which is obviously not the duet version). So I was wondering, which among the two versions (Celine's solo and Andrea's solo) did they actually submit and was actually considered "the nominated song." Surely they can't submit both, as that would count as two songs. So which song ACTUALLY won the Golden Globes? Definitely not the duet version haha...

 

I ask this because that was also the case with When You Believe.... they performed the "pop version" on stage but technically that was not the song nominated but rather the film version of the song (not necessarily the performance in the film, as the Oscar is given to the song, the piece of music, and not the recording per se) that did not contain the bridge (written by Babyface)... which also explains why Babyface did not get an Oscar for that.

 

For reference:

According to the official Oscars website, their nomination lists all the songwriters...including the Italian ones. I have to believe they submitted Andrea's version then? Because there was seemingly no need for Italian lyrics on Celine's English version---even though Andrea's version is in all-Italian, presumably they used the English original as the base? Good question.

 

Did they use Celine and Peabo's version of Beauty and the Beast in their film? Because it would have left Celine without a trophy too, right?

I am also more inclined to think that it was Andrea's version that they submitted, given that his version seemed like the "full" version, complete with the bridge and the alternating english italian lyrics. Celine's version was just like an abridged version to put within the story of the film.

 

As for BATB, either way, Celine wouldn't get any trophy for the song since the award is given to the songwriters. The difference between BATB and The Prayer is that, in BATB, both versions had similar music and lyrics, so it wouldnt matter which "version" actually won. But inThe Prayer, you have two different songs, having similar music but different lyrics. So it's interesting to know which among the two actually won.

I think muscle memory helps. She has sung this song so many times it’s so easy for her.

Wonderful to see Catherine introducing Céline :wub: Too bad the song is cut at the end :pinch: What an epic performance!

 

By the way.. here the movies is also called "Das magische Schwert" which means "The magic sword". :giggle:

She sang it with a lot of emocion as well, it just remined me why I became fan of her.

She has plenty of time to make sure she will be able to put together amazing renditions to songs she never sang before

when all this madness is over. Hopefully.
