Just a reminder to keep voting for Celine for the iHeart Radio Music Award in the “Favorite On Screen” category. You can vote every day! And some random days allow you to vote twice that day!

Has anyone watched “Divas: Céline Dion”, a 59 mins documentary that is available on Apple TV/Prime Video. Is it worth watching like are there performances will be shown or just talking while pictures and videos of Céline in the background?

Thanks so much for posting about this! I never heard of it. It’s on YouTube and I’m going to watch it with my grandmother when I see her tomorrow.

Thanks again!

I believe it is this same "documentary" and so just two entertainment journalists giving a history of her life and career. Nothing new and even a few things get wrong. But not too bad to watch for free.

Really good read thanks for sharing. I agree we don't need hagiographies.

 

But in Celine's case, she basically gave Irene free reign to film anything. And I guess the kicker is that Celine probably had final approval, but she left everything in as far as we know. And Celine was intentionally involved directly because she wanted to tell her current story of living with SPS. And it was not all glamour -- she was without makeup, crying and in pain, had a seizure, etc.

Is it realistic to expect a physical release of this documentary? It would be kinda cool to have a nice Blu-Ray edition with some deleted scenes as bonus content.

It’s an Amazon exclusive. They are financed by streaming.

It was a special experience to see this in theatres. I'm glad some of us got to do that, including before it was released on streaming.

Jesus. He may be the most annoying interviewer I have ever seen.

 

Aside from that, I absolutely adore the appreciation Wyn Starks has shown regarding his song being used in the documentary. Every time he’s asked about it, it’s like he’s still in complete disbelief.

So as a long time fan it may be a surprise to some of you did it has taken me this long to be able to watch the documentary. However I was finally able to watch it today and it’s entirety! It was definitely an emotional roller coaster. My mom and her boyfriend were describing everything that they could as it was going on. First of all I did not realize how many clothes and pairs of shoes she had lol. I had thought that was somewhat of an exaggeration before. I loved that her kids were shown as much as they were. A lot of heartwarming moments for sure.

This documentary shows how much of a perfectionist she strides to be, arguably the best example of that ever is seen toward the end when she keeps redoing the first verse and chorus of love again, even when a lot of her attempts did not sound bad at all. That episode was definitely tough. I couldn’t see it but my mom said they used nasal spray to try to help her come out of it. I am sure that it took a lot out of her in general too really show what she was going through in such a open and personal way for the first time ever.

I’m sure I will probably be back with more thoughts or little side notes later on. Unfortunately anytime I try to use the forum on my regular phone I can only use the messaging feature and maybe reply in one or two topics rarely. Most topics just sit there loading for forever and ever no matter what web browser I use. This means I have to use my old iPhone 7 to view or reply most of the time

A year today since the premiere in NYC and a year since we last heard from her directly…

 

I hope we get something soon from her :)

Last year was so exciting for us Celine fans. The documentary and the Olympic Games in Paris.

Why didn't Sony benefit more from it (uploading her concerts on Amazon Prime etc.). I don't get it.

I hope we will hear something from her soon.

Coincidentally, I decided to read some reviews of the film online. I plan on reading more, but this was the first one I opened:

 

"I think the documentary doesn't delve into anything. You don't know if it wants to portray her life, career, or health condition. It tries to bring everything at once, but fails to deliver anything with much richness of detail. Apart from that, there are unnecessary scenes. Fans of the singer would want more depth at certain points than the essay of a text congratulating another singer, for example."

Yes the J. Farnham part was unnecessary. But it's still a great documentary.

I love reading the reviews no matter how many stars the reviewer gave the docu to hear all the perspectives, but the average rating being 3.8 stars feels about right.

You might try the Tapatalk app for your iPhone, that should make it easier to access the forum more normally.

I deleted the app a while back, but if I remember right there was somewhere to put your log-in credentials and then after that it populates "Celine Dion forum" onto the app. Someone else might be able to weigh in.
