"I Am: Celine Dion" documentary - Official Topic

[drove all night]

Does someone up here know the original source of this picture?

 

I think all real fans (who don't already have their "wishes" and "orders" for a sick woman who is struggling her way back) should make this to their title picture on Social Media!

Amazon Prime and Sony should upload her concert videos on Amazon. I'm sure people who watched the docu would like to watch them. Come on Sony..

 

The clip from live in Paris 1996 song River deep mountain high is VHS exclusive not on DVD(the one released) I saw the clip on a TV broadcast of the concert back in 2008ish as well but not on DVD unfortunately

The articles implies she was feeling this beginning with A New Day in 2003 and that is not right. Why is it so hard to get facts straight.

 

To be honest, while she says that the first symptoms happened in 2008, I think they started around 2003 affecting her voice. You can have symptoms of things and not notice. My dad had parkinsons long before he noticed symptoms such as the constant moving.

don't let the facts keeping you from a good story

The most annoying version of this is when they can't do basic 1988-1968 math and claim she was 18 when she won Eurovision.

 

It doesn't but it does make me question what that person has to say. I just hate when a writer can't get basic facts correct and it also contributes to inaccurate reporting on Celine and that I don't like.

And once one publication gets it wrong, 20 others republish the same junk. It's infuriating. And it's often easily verifiable facts, too.

It was more about the frame for René`s picture. Not the picture itself. Of course there are pictures of him to be found in her house.

By the way: Did you mention the golden sculpture of his hand behind the yellow tulips (the scene where she puts on her "cozy socks")?

 

Yeah the frame is very interesting to reuse and not just put pic in a new frame. Guess it fits with the rest of the decor. No I had missed the hand. Interesting to see all the little things she has in different places. Like her mom's pic on the table where his hand is, is same pic that is in set into a box lid on a table when she talks about her mom cooking carrot pie.

Exactly or that Rene and her got engaged in 91 when it was 93. Just feels like sloppy journalism.

Well then we can go back to when she was on the Falling Into You Tour and started feeling that lump or what she calls like an apple in her throat and that she had for month or more and it just went away. But that is me speculating but in terms of reporting a story at least to me they should be going by what Celine herself says and nothing else.

Out of all her awards she seems most proud of her Felixes as we can see one casually sitting on top of her table. It's probably her first Felix and has a special meaning to her so she decided to put it on display.

Another fun little article from New York Magazine/ Vulture: Céline Dion Being Iconique: A Timeline

 

Behind a paywall so putting the text below. It's not actually spoiler-y, but putting in tags to so it doesn't take up half the page.

 

 

 

Céline Dion has a voice rivaled by few others. Soaring and powerful, its extraordinary range has meant the singer can reach stratospheric heights in emotive ballads and descend into sweet, softer keys for love songs.

But Dion also has a long history of attracting attention beyond her voice. She is also an icon of campery, self-deprecation, and endurance, all qualities she has famously shown throughout her (now sadly halted) career. From letting a fan go pee during her own final performance to bravely sharing struggles battling a chronic health condition, Dion is a rare star who is as happy to read herself to filth as she is to wear her pain publicly. This is even after her devastating health diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome (SPS) in December 2022. The rare neurological disorder has meant Dion can experience painful spasms and muscle stiffening and struggles to sing. Even though SPS has (temporarily) stopped her from performing, she still remains a larger-than-life figure in the Zeitgeist beyond her rare vocal prowess, a superstar defined as much by her public vulnerability as by her playful self-mockery.

With the release of her baring new documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, we’ve retraced Dion’s iconography — that is, her back catalogue of iconic moments — into one easy timeline. Our only wish now is that she’s back onstage soon, calling out to us with her siren song(s) and maybe cracking jokes about water parks as she’s done throughout her legendary career.

1984: Performing for the Pope (at 16!)

Dion has always been a virtuoso singer, beginning her music career in her early adolescence thanks to manager — and future husband — René Angélil. In September 1984, the 16-year-old singer performed for Pope John Paul II and 65,000 Catholics at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, serenading the enraptured crowd with “Une colombe” (“A Dove”). As a dove formation assembled across the football field, Dion’s soaring and angelic voice quickly revealed an extraordinary vocalist to the masses — a young star on the rise. Her song soon scaled Quebec’s music charts (landing at No. 2) and brought Dion national attention. Again, that towering voice is 16 years old.

As Dion’s teenage years passed, Angélil helped her shed her docile, ingenue image for a more sophisticated, worldly one. While the relationship with René has remained controversial — managing her by age 13 and then reportedly dating her from 18 — Dion has nevertheless attested to the intense devotion and fidelity shared between the two, saying he was “the only boyfriend I’ve ever had.”

1996, 2007, 2018: Breaking the music video rules

Never leave Dion too long in the video-editing suite or she might go rogue with the special effects. Case in point: “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” 1996’s incomparable ballad on rediscovering lost love. The accompanying music video features a lonesome Dion struggling with the loss of her motorbiking boyfriend after he dies in a tragic accident. As she paces around her mammoth château, ghosts of bikers past return as gothic décor and flashing lights resound to her cries of, “It was gone with the wind!” The drama, mama!

Years on, Dion’s playful ridicule of her superstar status was evident in the video “Taking Chances,” where she played two versions of herself — one looking to assassinate the other richer mogul version. The resulting supercomputer control-room scene is worth it alone. We also can’t forget her diva theatrics in “Ashes,” the soft Deadpool 2 anthem in which she explains she can’t phone in any performances: “Listen, this thing only goes to 11!” Let’s ignore the Vaseline screen for that one and just enjoy her confected divadom arguing with so-called “Superman.”

1997–99: Subbing in at the Oscars

In the year her song “Because You Loved Me” was nominated for Best Original Song, Dion took to the stage to sing Barbra Streisand’s “I Finally Found Someone.” Streisand, who reportedly wanted to snub the Academy after her own film The Mirror Has Two Faces didn’t court a nod for Best Picture, declined performing it, so Natalie Cole was asked to replace her. When Cole (suspiciously!!) came down with the flu days before the ceremony, Dion was asked to step in. Her effortless performance is a masterclass in simplicity, with only a trumpeter and the sheet music on stage, showcasing Dion’s legendary vocal skills all while she humbly performed another singer’s nominated tune.

The deed won favor with Streisand, who suggested the two do a song together. “Tell Him” was the resulting dueling-diva duet. (In the music video, Babs nevertheless shows she still has the upper motherly hand, sweetly correcting Dion’s diction at various points on-camera.) In later years, Dion kept on serving at the Oscars, such as at the 1998 ceremony thanks to Titanic and again in 1999 with her iconic backward white suit. Like most gambles, the suit was a risk, but Dion has long proven to make a mark every time she graces the Dolby’s red carpet.

2013: Building her own personal water park

While promoting her album Loved Me Back to Life in the U.K., Céline gifted us one of her wildest TV interviews. (That is, if we quietly overlook her 2005 Hurricane Katrina moment.) Prodded by host Jonathan Ross, Dion makes several startling revelations like confessing she first rejected “My Heart Will Go On” and that the polarizing ballad has now grown a little tiresome to belt out. Oh, and that also she built a water park at her Florida property. Excuse me?

“Some people do drugs and go out every weekend, I built a water park,” she tells the bemused Ross. Everyone has a vice and if a lazy river, waterslides, and some splashy fountains are Dion’s, then let her swim with the stream. In 2017, Dion sold the water-soaked property — with its thirst for 500,000 gallons of water an obvious burden — after trying to first offload it in 2013 ahead of her Las Vegas residency. Sure, love can move mountains, but Céline Dion can erect her own aqua park.

2016: Fighting on after René’s death

After 22 years married together, Dion’s husband, René Angélil, died from throat cancer in January 2016. A month later, the singer was back in Vegas, fighting through her own private grief and pained anguish to perform again for audiences. It was her first rendition of “All by Myself” that seemed at first to represent a private oath to bravely face life alone. That is, until it didn’t.

As she intoned the lyrics, “I don’t want to be all by myself,” Dion had to stop the song to compose herself. Always a consummate professional, however, our ballad queen powered through the final note to a brave and exultant end that can still give chills. Even at her most vulnerable and grief-stricken, Céline embraces an emotional setback and lets her own music provide a personal salvation — all while looking gorgeous and celestial, naturally.

2017–19: Camping out at the Met Gala

For years, Céline Dion had wrongfully been denied an invitation to the Met Gala. Until 2017, when Anna Wintour apparently realized her error. Still concerned she wouldn’t be let in to the famed fashion affair with her Versace gown (and shoe phone), Dion insisted that pockets be sown into her dress so she could keep her invite on her. (And her passport and driver’s license apparently.) Her gnawing concern that she might be not recognized at the entrance is both adorable and extremely relatable.

Two years later, Dion gave an off-the-cuff remark emblematic of her unique brand of zaniness and delivered one of the camp-themed Gala’s campest moments — without even realizing it. When asked by an interviewer what “camp” meant, Céline said: “At first, I was a little bit confused … We’re going camping? We’re going to be at the Met and everyone is going to stay and sleep all night?” Okay, even Susan Sontag would be shook.

2019: Serenading the Vegas Strip

Dion’s “Carpool Karaoke” appearance has gone down in pop-culture lore as one of the series’ greatest — not a high bar, but one she clears with ease. From wild gestures (like suddenly pecking James Corden) to serenading tourists on the sidewalk with “My Heart Will Go On” to admitting she has a computer catalogue tracking her 10,000 shoes, this 15-minute feature has it all. (Even her outsize toile pussy bow is kind of outrageous.) So silly is the entire exercise that we even see Dion regrettably parting with her prized pumps and gifting them to confused bystanders on the Vegas strip.

Dion levels out the fun with some candor, too, acknowledging that fame and celebrity can sometimes be real barriers to her living her fullest life. Seeing a doctor announce on TV the birth of her son — before she had even held him — is a reminder of the sad reality that looms large around her very exposed life. Dion is as wise and self-possessed as she is stupid and ridiculous all at once. Mother, dare I say?

2020: Doing a (polarizing) drive-by

While most of us were bunkering down ahead of the onslaught of COVID-19, Dion was listening to randoms singing her songs from her SUV — or not, depending which version you’ve seen. A viral video from March 2020 shows Dion listening to an eager fan belt out “I Surrender” before Dion summarily winds up the window. Wig. But — fortunately or unfortunately, depending on where you stand — that version is doctored, with the real version showing Dion actually fist-bumping, then praising the enthusiastic songbird. Also wig.

Both deeds can be iconic Dion moments that feel true in our hearts. Like most superstars, there is, of course, the rarefied celebrity world Dion occupies where aspiring vocalists no doubt chase the star down for the chance to get a leg up in the biz. And Dion does give opportunities to eager singers — memorably in 2008 by bringing up Jake Zyrus (then known as Charice) to sing “Because You Loved Me” and at Vegas shows — to showcase their talents. But there are also times when her altruism surely runs in short supply, and our queen’s gotta hit the road like any A-lister must. So, be prepared, come in key, and Céline might one day give you the chance. Or she’ll roll up her window and give you the finger. Either way, you’ve been blessed.

Well, those are "just" "Voucher copies" (I don't know if that's the correct English wording). Just "samples" so they know what they've put out in the public.

The picture was taken under the famous "Pont de Bir-Hakeim"

Guys, can you hear which songs are mixed with A New Day Has Come at the beggining of the film between 6:45 minutes and 7:10 minutes?

The link to the People article that has "timeline" of Celine and Rene is full of inaccuracies lol. And for once can they just not have to say the relationship is controversial. Can they just say were happily married for 21 years.

 

I feel sorry for the boys hope they never read all the crap written about their parents. Got to be hard being a celebrities child and living any kind of regular life.

I know... irks me to no end. Like, none of us were there, only the two people involved. You have her account, published in print, it ain't difficult to find.

Is it a truthful? Is it the full story? We'll never know. But it's the only one we've got and it's from the source herself. Anything else is conjecture and speculation.

It looked familiar and now I know why!

I would loooove to have a little look around

My favourite interview so far. That was amazing!

 

She said her manager is John and Joyce, right? John is John Meglen right? But who is Joyce…?

[mirage]

In one of Irene's many interviews she talked about how Celine and her discussed Maria Callas but that did not make it in. I would have loved more discussions between Celine and Irene and less of the flashback clips. Just getting more of how dealing with everything that is where the doc was the most powerful.

 

In terms of her having new managers, we have no idea why Dave or Denis not there. They could have retired, they could have not wanted her to go back on stage or were more cautious after having watched her go through these crisis. I know if I had witnessed these first hand over the last several years I would be very leery of seeing her go back on stage for her own well being. This is all to say lets not disparage who has gone before without knowing all the facts.

 

All I want is her happiness and well being.

There is something about Dave that I don't like. Can't put my finger on it, but nah.

 

Also when recording LA, he at one point said "you sound great" while it definitely wasn't the case.

I know you can say that to support someone, but he screams fake to me.

 

Also when recording, normally she goes to the Vegas studio at Palms right? But this looked like they set it up just for her.

All my interactions with him were very positive. He seems just as kind and gracious as she is. And he's been around for decades. Celine wouldn't have kept him around if he was "off". She's got a nose for people.

I agree I didn’t find him insincere at all, however I think he was in way over his head as her manager. So I welcome the change of leadership, let’s see if it’s for better or worse.

[No1IrishFan]

I think I found out who Joyce is. Compare the pic in this link to the video from the premiere. It’s definitely her.

 

Joyce Smyth.

She has managed the Rolling Stones since 2011. Could be partly why Celine was at the Stones gigs a few weeks back.

 

I wonder does this mean she no longer manages the Stones or is she planning on managing them full time and sharing the Celine role with John?

 

I don’t follow the Stones to know much about how she’s managed them in recent years. Would be good to know.

I can’t count how many times I’ve asked myself over the years, “I wonder what Celine is doing right now?” I feel after watching this we get better insights on Celine’s home life. Sure we’ve been let into her home with other interviewers before, but this felt real. She’s probably making a silly video right now or doing some activity with the twins, sitting by the pool, walking through her warehouses, wondering which shoe she will wear. It’s not a mystery anymore after watching this movie. Is it just me?

I think I found out who Joyce is. Compare the pic in this link to the video from the premiere. It's definitely her.

 

Joyce Smyth.

She has managed the Rolling Stones since 2011. Could be partly why Celine was at the Stones gigs a few weeks back.

 

I wonder does this mean she no longer manages the Stones or is she planning on managing them full time and sharing the Celine role with John?

 

I don't follow the Stones to know much about how she's managed them in recent years. Would be good to know.

wow great work. Maybe it will be different having a woman advocate for her with Sony.
