I for one would watch it. I agree that perhaps it wouldn’t be as colorful as other biopics we’ve seen but I wouldn’t expect it to be boring either.

Hi Celine fans, I'm actually wondering if people are still going to Celine Dion's concert now that the concerts have been postponed again to 2023, I decided to ask for my money back, and i have already received it very quickly, because I can't make it on the new mentioned dates for next year.
I think it's also sad what's going on with Celine Dion right now, so I wonder if Celine will ever be back at the old top level as before.

 

[Payton Cross]

Celine Dion will tomorrow release a new song, it's Celine's first new music since the album "Courage" from 2019, the song comes from the movie "Love Again", and Celine also plays a role in this movie as herself, I can't wait to hear the new song tomorrow, I hope more new songs wil be released from Celine, i hope the soundtrack from the movie will contains more new songs from Celine..

 

[Payton Cross]

Here is the video of Celine Dion's new song that she recorded for the movie "Love Again", it's not a "The Power Of Love" banger but just a lovely beautiful song.

Welcome back Celine.

Celine Dion - Love Again

I didn't know she had a new song coming out. I like it even if her voice sounds a little different.

I didn't know she had a new song coming out. I like it even if her voice sounds a little different.

I agree, the first lyrics she sounded very differend, maybe it has to do with her age or she didn't sang in a long time so she needed to warm up first, but the further the song progressed I heard that old Celine Dion voice again, maybe it's not quite the way we used to, but there are also 4 other new songs on the soundtrack "Love Again" by Celine Dion who knows she might sound there very different again. It was also a surprise to me when my mother texted me about this message, I didn't even know it yet.

Intriguing. It seems like they have a lot of Celine Dion songs in the movie. Does anyone know when this was filmed?

I heard that this movie was filmed around 2021-2022, so i gues Celine Dion recorded these five new songs also during that time of filming the movie.

Have anyone watched the I am Celine documentary?
I watched it last week after having watched her comeback at the Olympics. It was a glorious performance. So happy to see Celine Dion back in form again.

She shows up around 3.30 into this clip.

Anyway the documentary made it clear that she has been suffering from "Stiff Person Syndrome" a lot longer than we thought. She first noticed some side effects from it 17 years before she was diagnosed. So I guess she's basically been battling this since in her 30s but it has gotten worse with age and they didn't know what it was at first.

I have watched it and was shocked that the symptoms first started to really show up around the Taking Chances World Tour. I found the documentary hard to watch at times but as a Celine fan a lot of things fell into place when I watched it. For years I have been sort of complaining about the vocal production on her albums. Like from around the time of Loved Me Back To Life. Celine's vocal production was a very different style to what we were used to in the '90s and early '00s. It was less smooth, less lush, it lost a lot of what made her voice sound so magical. I just couldn't understand how that quality wasn't being captured. She and her team were hard selling us on the fact that Celine was looking for a different sound, she was experimenting with a rocky sound etc. I now know this wasn't exactly the truth. I know singers voices change, and I never expected Celine to sound like she did in her 20s or 30s forever but I could tell something just wasn't right. The smoothness was gone, what once sounded fluid and agile was now sounding, raspy and dry. The power and belt was still there but how she could use her voice through that was apparently different to me. Now it all really makes sense to me.

It's tough because she's a performer. I would be fine with her not doing shows all year. Just releasing an album every couple of years, and having lots of vocal rest etc. But that isn't a life that she wants, she wants to perform, she loves it, and to be the best there is and then all of sudden find that you cant be the best, that you can't do what was always so easy to you must be truly awful.

I saw talk around the internet that she's trying to sort a new residency in Vegas. I really don't think she should. I think she should continue to look after herself and maybe really experiment with her sound, try an album where she doesn't have pressure. No expectations, just a chill, long recording process. Very relaxed and just see what she comes up with. Maybe with just one or two producers. No need to make a hit, just make music for the fun of it.
Celine Dion has nothing to prove to anybody.

I don't have Amazon Prime, but the documentary was on Youtube for a while I just don't know if it's still on Youtube., just not completely, because I think it was missing something like 15 minutes of footage, but I did see most of it and as a fan I found some footage quite difficult to see, especially the ending really grabbed me when she had an SPS attack after a recording in the studio. This documentary has given me even more admiration for Celine Dion, and it's funny that I've started listening to her music more lately.

I've definitely seen the whole opening of the Olympics and I've been told that Celine Dion will probably perform at the end so the excitement was definitely high, and before I knew it she was standing there under the Eiffel Tower singing the beautiful Edith Piaf song that Celine had already sung in 2015 during the Grammy awards when there was an attack in Paris but this performance sounded a lot better to my ears.

I was also very shocked that Celine Dion had SPS symptoms much earlier than we all thought and that they themselves didn't even know what was going on, I was also very shocked that Celine Dion took so much Valium to suppress the symptoms

I agree that Celine Dion last few albums from 2012-2013 sounded different than we were used to, I therefore didn't think all songs from 2012-2023 didn't sound the Celine Dion as I was used to, for me Celine Dion the singer who could handle everything and knew how to hit great high notes and we haven't heard that since the album "Taking Chances", and I think I'm also one of the few Celine Dion fans who don't like the album Courage as much as most fans do, in my opinion Celine Dion could have done much better but now that it is known what is wrong with Celine Dion condition it explains a lot of my answers and appreciate it a little more now than before I knew what was wrong with Celine Dion.

The interview that Celine Dion had with Koda she said that her voice was almost back to her old level again, so i hope Celine can handel some studio recordings again an make some new music and maybe a full new album, and i agree she doesn't need a new #1 song hyst a good record and hear het wonderful voice again. There are even rumours that Celine Dion might perform in Las Vegas again by the end of 2024 early 2025. I hope she has her SPS under control and do what she loves to do perdorming for her fans and singing songs.

Thanks for sharing. I actually liked this interview more than the documentary. I think the reason for it was because the documentary was so "reality tv" in style.

But yes watching this it did become clear to me that she first started having symptoms in 2008. So it is actually 16 years rather than 17.
Still it's an awful long time to be struggling with something and not know what it is. I am glad she got a diagnosis at last and can work at getting better.

Also Celine singing "don't worry be happy" at the end made me think of Larry Hagman.
It's nice with people who have a positive attitude about life. Celine definitely has that too. It's also nice to see that she hasn't lost her sense of humor.

Yes i agree with you that this was my favorite interview too with Celine talking about her illness, she's still believe that she will be ready someday to perform again and that even almost made me cry, she's still so full of joying life in any way she can, and she didn't last her sense of humor indeed, what a amazing person she is.

And yes this was a little more bearable to watch than the documentary "I Am Celine Dion", the hardest think to hear was she struggled so long with this illness and not knowing what it was. Funny when you thank of LArry Hagman when Celine started to sing "Don;t Worry Be Happy song, i was thinking of Abby Cunningham from Knots Landing when she left the show in 1989, she also sang that song with her son un the car.

Absolutely. I do hope she will be able to have concerts again. Maybe performing close to home in Las Vegas is most logical as it's not so much of a strain as it would be if she went back to touring the world.

I remember that scene too.
I think of Larry since his motto was "Don't worry, be happy, feel good". He had those words written down next to his bathroom mirror.

Yes i agree and i think Las Vegas is a good place to start her concerts again, i also believe that traveling all over the World would be to hard for her.

Okay, i never knew that about Larry that he has written those line in his bathroom, sound sence to me.

I was almost planning to see her in Paris but the tickets of concerts are so expensive these days, so i might skip this concert venue in Paris, i hope she will come to the Netherlands again someday.
