Céline Dion and the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games

[scielle]

What would she sing? A Paris?

 

Olympic Hymn?

Either that, or a classic chanson (either one of hers or Piaf).

Or something written specifically for the occasion (as was the case in Atlanta).

Play Me Like A Love Song!!!

 

If the Olympic appearance does turn out to be true, I do think it would be a disappointment and a missed opportunity for it not to be a new song written for the occasion (or at least premiered there, if not literally an Olympic themed lyric), even if just as a stand-alone track rather than the launch of a new album or similar.

 

I can just imagine Céline showing up for her great comeback at the Olympics and trotting out I'm Alive or The Power Of Love...

Well in recent developments…

Not much - just the French flag and the words ‘Celine’

I can’t. Unless it’s one of her classics from D’eux or SSDA that everyone can sing along to.

[comingback]

Maybe she will sing A Paris and of course Pour Que Tu M'Aimes Encore and S'il Suffisait D'Aimer.

[celinesounds]

I’ve told you earlier she would come to Paris

 

My source doesn’t lie

If she sang in English she’d be burned with the Olympic Torch.

 

 

Maybe they’ll translate The Power of The Dream and let her lip again

Any news on that costume exhibition ?

It was the “Nostradamus Insider” Twitter account that said

 

“Cèline 🇫🇷 “

Lol, wasn’t that the same account that said earlier this year that Celine would announce her retirement this year?

Yes, but I think they got it “partly” right….

 

They announced the team would be releasing a compilation album which is true with the documentary soundtrack to coincide with her “retirement” I think they assumed that when they got word the team was releasing a hits album.

 

They’ve also got a lot right about lot of artists.

Well, I hope they’re wrong about her retirement!

I think they are… like I said one would assume because she is “ill with sps” that a hits album was to go with a retirement but it was actually for the documentary . I think they had insider info on the album and then assumed because of the retirement.. that Celine herself basically said isn’t happening…she said she can’t just sit and wait around.

And she said in the vogue interview that she wants to see the Eiffel Tower!

And the Opening Ceremony ends basically at the Eiffel Tower. Maybe that statement was a clue.

[Ukrfan]

It’d be a dream come true if she opens the Olympics again

 

But oh my I will be shaking during that opening

Me too! If it’s the first time we will hear her voice I will be panicking! I know they will make it perfect but I’m still not convinced on her vocal performance currently.

She hasn’t really attempted to convince anyone though… the little we have heard was just Celine playing around.

Completely agree! Imagine if she does this and blows us all away! I have high hopes she will but do worry too.

At big events like that aren’t the performances usually backing tracks anyway? I’d imagine that for her very first performance in front of the entire world, that she would

Opt for something safe like a prerecorded live track and as much as I hate when performers use them, in this case I’d welcome it for celine.

Wasn’t her performance the Atlanta Olympics live?

Lol no… there were some live adlibs at the end. She did very well to make it seem live though

I can usually spot her lipping a mile away, mainly how she over performs with her hands when she’s lipping but that one fooled me I guess.

Some live adlibs at the end to show “I still got it *censored*” would be amazing.

Less nervewracking for her and probably overall a better performance. You have to imagine if this ends up being her first live performance in over four years, it has to be the most nerve-racking performance of her life given that she’s performing in the midst of this illness and with millions or people tuning in

Most of those major events like the Super Bowl anthems or the Olympics Opening Ceremonies feel that everything has to go right and there's just too much at stake to leave things to chance, so they require artists to perform to a track. They didn't always and it led to some not-so-great performances, so at least this way it removes any doubt and theoretically ensures flawlessness (at least vocally!) as long as the tech cooperates. There may still be a few that allow live vocals - or artists that refuse to mime - but they've become fewer and farther between.

 

Even if Céline's voice was in amazing shape, I doubt she'd be willing to take the chance of something going wrong with her big comeback. Imagine the headlines!

[scielle]

Yeah, but can she afford to lip if she’s getting paid €2mln of taxpayer money for a single song “live” performance?
