She’ll be performing live from Paris by satellite. I hope that she sings ‘Help’ 🩵

Oh cool! I do hope she sings Help instead of You're the voice 🫢 I guess they'll record that part on the 18th or 19th though.

Thinking about if it’s a one off performance of one of his songs for this benefit concert I’m fine with it, I just don’t want you are the voice back in this setlist…

I just want to hear Céline songs at this comeback residency… and no dead tribute section to other artists… it’s not that difficult considering what’s happened to her and her absence for us as fans over the last 6 years!

This video says she’ll perform live from Paris with the John Farnham Band and orchestra but given the 8 hour time difference, I’m not sure how that would work 🤷🏻‍♂️

[stevo]

Agreed, Darren. We don’t need a Medley of Death when she has so many amazing songs of her own she can sing

Either it’s not really live and it’s produced in some way, or she’s gonna go to La Défense the morning after the show just for this with no audience. The first option does seem a tad more plausible.

She will probably film this the night before his benefit concert as if she’s talking to them live on the night.

Yeah I somehow don’t see a John Farnham song on a Paris concert setlist. That being said, I so hope she’s gonna sing Help!

I’ve posted them before, because the song, in his version (not the Beatles’) really hits me in the gut, but here are the lyrics to ‘Help’ :

 

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind
I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed, in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
And I know that I just need you
Like I've never done before

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Oh, help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now those days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind
I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Oh, help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
Won't you please, please, help me

I love the Carpenters version of it.
