Céline Dion and the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games

[scielle]

I’m hopeful that Celine will be the Olympics but I’m not “expecting” it… the media had her dead, had her at the met gala, had her retiring all in the last few months.

Yup! But in the meantime, I’m enjoying the speculation and anticipation. Such sweet torture!

I’ll admit, when she said ‘ Eiffel Tower ‘ in the interview, I immediately thought Olympics 🤭.

 

We do love to torture ourselves.

[Shamrock_1982]

She does love to drop a little something in now and again like she did in Carpool with a little snippets of two songs that would be on the courage album a few months later

 

So.. will she be on or under the Eiffel Tower for this performance do we think?

She’s going to be on the very top of it, doing some ‘lurrrrverrrvaaaverrveerrvers’ like a Fairy on the Christmas Tree

[stevo]

In all seriousness though- if she is wanting to launch a new residency (and is ready and fit enough to do it) what a way it would be to actually reach the world and let them see her in action

For tickets call 1-800-CÉLINE now!!!! ( doing my best Ed Weigle impression ) Edited June 7, 2024 at 06:39 AM by Shamrock_1982

Also, we don't know if her doctors will allow her to travel so far, so many hours in an airplane. It might be a strain on her muscles.

I am saying this for the Olympic Games & the Eurovision Song Contest next year.

[mirage]

The 'seeing the Eiffel Tower again" was definitely a hint from her.

Whether it would be fashion week, or some shows.

My guess was she knows something coming up.

Is it worse than going out in those heels or going skiing though?

 

Flying on an airplane is tiring because we have to sit all the time and have so little space, but Celine has her own plane. She can easily put a bed there (or maybe she already has one)

[Céline RO]

I’m sorry, what?!

 

“Un montant exorbitant... sauf pour Céline

L’organisation aurait permis une rallonge budgétaire de 2,7 millions d’euros (4 millions en dollars canadiens) afin de payer pour deux artistes. La décision qui avait été prise par le président Emmanuel Macron aurait d’abord été critiquée. Lorsque le nom de Céline Dion a été évoqué, les Français auraient immédiatement changé d’avis, explique le journaliste.

Si elle accepte l’offre, elle effectuera un concert d’une dizaine de minutes au pied de la tour Eiffel.”

 

Surely at this point it’s just tabloid press making things up? This can’t be…right?

Anyone familiar with this journalist and how reliable he is? I’ve watched the entire interview and he keeps saying how they’re trying to do something similar to a Super Bowl halftime show, with a ~10min concert of hits, closed out by an original song written for the occasion.

 

This feels like… a lot to be hoping for.

What I don’t like about this is the “if she accepts” bit. I was hoping that behind the scenes it was already set in stone, whatever the decision.

I thought literally nothing. I completely overlooked the phrase until the media brought it up.

Well that was just what came to her mind when she heard those words, and she opened her mouth and sang it. I mean, that’s Céline. I don’t think there was any strategy or that she was even aware of the fact that she was teasing not-yet-released songs.

Well she was due to attend the opening of that exhibition of her outfits in Paris, which was pretty much confirmed until it was canceled. Plus for her flying is just like lying in her bed at home watching TV, except the jet lag but I’m not sure whether that has any effect on SPS symptoms.

Can somebody explain why would Celine sing UNDER the Eiffel Tower during the opening ceremony if normally the ceremony takes place at the stadium?

Because this time it’s not at a stadium. It’s along La Seine. Athlete parade will go down the river on boats and will end at the Trocadéro, overlooking the Eiffel Tower, where the rest of the opening protocol will take place.

Does anybody know when the artist(s) performing will be announced?

Won’t necessarily be announced at all. Element of surprise is what makes these things tick. They’ll certainly announce some participants as we get closer, but won’t reveal everything.

Love that! Merci ❤️

Can't decide if wishful thinking or they already know happening.

Well, things like this are decided months in advance, and we’re only 49 days out.

If it ain’t happening, that’s some cruel trolling from the Olympic social media managers!

I don’t know after seeing the Hoda interview snippet you posted in the other thread, it sounds worse than I had thought. Hope she’s on the way back but i don’t know.

Right would they be that cruel. Just don't want to get my hopes up to much.

I know… Hoda doesn’t make it sound like she’s performance ready at all.

[Shamrock_1982]

May just have to pop over on the Eurostar if it is true.

 

It’s amazing the crowds outside her hotel but this time it would be an even more incredible experience to be in that crowd and feel that love for her and just to see that face in person again getting the love that she deserves and for her to see her people again.

[Nmj]

 

I know… Hoda doesn’t make it sound like she’s performance ready at all.

 

Absolutely not. Let’s hope that’s just Hoda dramatizing it a bit more to try and entice people to watch, when she said “she’s in fight of her life right now”.

That is what I feel. Yes it has been hard and was a fight for her life at one point but with all her appearances recently she seems to have a handle on it.

Hoda literally said that Celine had managed to keep it under control in the previous snippet, so it's a bit strange now.

 

Maybe she was referring to the documentary? That she saw Celine in fight of her life in it.

[tshlw]

The snippet of the interview does make me wonder if she can do a full show yet. Yes she can sing snippets and that, but to go full on for a song let alone for 90 mins. I do hope she can because she wants to be back on stage and I want that for her.
