Up to 2 billion people around the world watched this live , including me, and I can’t be the only one that stood up and cheered and clapped at the end, and I was alone at home watching it on t.v…. I.m 60 years old and cried for her… a performance for the ages… welcome back Celine and congratulations and thank you 🙏
Je me suis levee. J ai applaudi. Et j ai pleure depuis la pemier note. Celine etait eblouissante. La scene fut eblouissante et memorable. Quelle merveille !
The Olympics are in France and the song that Céline sings is the cult song in France written and sung by Edith Piaf in 1950. This song is symbolic for France. Céline interpreted it in a masterful way. Yesterday, she honoured Canadians but also the French people in France by performing this hymn to love. She deserves the gold medal for her performance.
She had to relearn how to sing because singing can trigger spasms. This would trigger violent attacks of her illness. The fact that she faced up to this performance under such pressure has my absolute respect.
I don't think she'll be able to tour or have a residency anymore (with her health issues) but she could still do one-offs and record and I'm so happy for her and her family and fans. This was spine tingling and made my mother cry (she's doesn't cry much over music).
As long as she doesn’t push herself too much and trigger a crash, she should be ok. I am so proud of her. As a fellow chronic illness suffer, she is the Judy Garland of today’s age; she doesn’t need to run around and entertain us. I hope she knows that. All she needs to do is stand there singing while her voice does the rest.
@@LenStgelais Wow, what a dream, I can imagine how incredible it must be to see her live, just because of the immense power that her voice transmits and in fact, not just her voice, she is the power 💓
It IS live. The Olympics said in an interview with the Montreal Gazette that Celine insisted on singing live, despite the health and technical concerns. She rehearsed on the Eiffel Tower at 3AM, the day before the ceremony. This is a total LIVE performance. In the rain. On the Eiffel Tower. By a LEGEND. In a moment of glory. Celine shared her beautiful gift and triumph with 2 billion people! Our girl, the best in the world. ❤
The way she moves her microphone near and further away from her face definitely indicates it was live, but where was the orchestra, aside from the piano player next to her?
The moment I started hearing her voice, was the moment the tears started to come. What an EPIC comeback. BREATHTAKING Performance. And her singing a top the Eiffel tower...doesn't get more Iconic than that.
Celine Dion - Hymne a l'Amour 💖☮💖 Incredible performance. Pure Magic. Edith Piaf smiled from Heaven on Céline Dion. Nobody could have sung this better.
Watch the whole 4 hours or something to witness this amazing performance. Very emotional for me and I'm so proud of her. I saw her live in Berlin 2017. One of the best days in my life.
This performance is 100% live. If anyone truly knows Celine and has followed her since 1990, they would know she would never use playback for this monumental occasion. Shes worked her butt off and ive seen so many haters trying to take this moment from her. Ive see 98% of her entire career thats been teleivised, recorded so forth and so on. This is, imho, her best performance.
The creators of the Opening Ceremony confirmed that every artist had to use playback. That includes Céline. At the end, it is still her voice. Céline is so impressive and fierce.
I agree with you, but must add that Celine herself said that in some occasions playback is necessary and that the most important thing is that the fans/public enjoy the show ! No matter if it's sung live or not. The Olympic opening show was such an occasion. All the artists had to sing playback. This was already the case for Freddie Mercury's and Montserrat Caballe's Barcelona performance so many years before...
@@samuellepage29 Every artist had to pre-record their performance as a safety but not everyone used playback. It was confirmed by the journal LeParisien that Celine Dion performance was live.
The best singers in the world can have off moments even in their primes. This is a woman who's 56 years old, who has a rare disease that affected her voice for years, who's reached the bottom and still today manages to sound that good and move that many people around the world. That's a gift, that's discipline paying off.
Celine Dion is my #1 female singer of all time. Her heart, soul and embodiment to be a woman with only love for everyone. She has got me through a lot of ruff times, but most her voice entrances my whole body. Thank you for the reaction and all you do.❤🎼 So emotional 👏
Celine is the most amazing, resilient, determined person ever. She literally fights her way through anything and always comes back to blow our minds. You really can't fault her. Such i beautiful soul ❤
Vocal perfection. I dare anyone to find one single flaw in her performance here. She was PERFECT. Im in tears. Such an amazing performance. Forever in awe of her gift. 🥰❤🙏
@@tandyhard8286 For me, it's even better than perfect. It has her own personal touch of a very high level that is rare to achieve for musicians. Probably the last 2 years working hard on her voice where a blessing because her voice seems more versatile and interesting than before!
The Song: Edith Piaf wrote it several months after the death o her lover, french boxer Marcel Cerdan... who died on an air France crash on his way from france to new york to watch Piaf perform. The song is a testament to love
Edith Piaf wrote that song for him a month before he died. She sang it for the first time in September 1949 and he died on a plane crash on his way to reunite with her on October 1949. Very sad part of her life 😢
Celine is Queen, and it was indeed so upsetting to see her Stiff Person episodes and I'm thrilled she was able to do this in classic Celine fashion, she killed it!!! LOL, on the Do Not Disturb, do NOT bother me while I'm listening to this historic Celine moment!!
It was confirmed that she was the ONLY performer to sing 100% LIVE for the Opening Ceremony....EVERY other artist did a pre-recorded performance, in case of Technical difficulties due to the occasion. However, Celine refused and wanted it to be Live for her performance. ❤ 👏 🥰
Living under a rock as I do, I knew nothing about her health issues. So I heard this performance without any context- just song, orchestration, staging and voice. By the time she was done I was on my knees, with tears flowing. One of greatest, most moving performances I've ever heard.
Ok,but you can find the translation of the song to understand the meaning...the words are beautiful and give the emotion to the song....dans le ciel plus de problèmes, dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment!
Don't you just love her! She gives everything to us and this was beyond amazing. How lucky are we to have her gift in our lives. Kelly Clarkson said she is the gold medal athlete in voice!!
Celine is a beautiful human being and the best singer of all time... emotional and elevated performance. My God, how strong this fighting woman is, fighting this disease is more than an Olympics, Thank you Celine and stay strong
She is absolutely the best!!! The fact that she can do this with her disease and sound better than she ever has is just mind blowing for anyone....She sang this song for the 2015 AMA's and if you watch that you can tell she was affected by her SPS condition in some parts of the performance. This time she was flawless and perfection in this performance of it. We are so blessed to have someone with this much talent in our lifetime!!! Love you Celine and as a Canadian we are all so proud of your courage and inspiration to push through whatever is thrown your way!!!!
Thanks for this reaction, you're one of the very few I've seen that truly understand how IMPORTANT this performance was. not a dry eye among anyone who's seen "I am: Celine Dion". She fought so hard and it was NOT guaranteed we'd ever hear her again.
If after a couple of years you don't remember a lot from the opening ceremony, you will definitely remember this performance! Celine is this one in a million singer who has it all - the voice, the stage presence, the energy, the emotion. Whatever she is peerforming, she is that specific song in that specific moment and she makes you feel it! This performance was epic!
Hi from France The lyrics makes one cry if you understand french, a song written and sang by Edith Piaf after the love of her life Marcel Cerdan lost his life in a plane crash in 1948. It broke her changed her. And Céline Dion an absolute gift a class act! Hope she heals from her health issues. Bless her🙏🏼
She is magnificent. I got goosebumps tears and emotional, absolutely beautiful and lm so happy that she can do what she loves, singing her heart out and giving her love through singing to the audience ❤❤❤
G’day Nick, thank you for the review. This is the first time I have heard the whole song. Celine is my all time favourite female singer and to be able to perform again live in the weather was phenomenal. I cried buckets when I heard some of the performance yesterday as a highlight and just now. I am so in awe of her and what she has achieved to be able to do that. She looks so good and healthy - no longer gaunt and thin. I hope she was able to recover after this and didn’t have a relapse attack. Bienvenue a toi, Reine Celine (Welcome back, Queen Celine). 😘💕🥲🇦🇺
I was crying when i saw this on friday night! Omg She was incredible and magic to watch and listen to. And i am with you, that mic is 100 on! I was thinking the same when i saw her. You can tell with that fade, but also on how hard she works with her body when she sings. That is a live performance. She is back!❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌
I live in Paris , i waited 4 hours to watch my Celine and it was so WORTH waiting to have this Gift, 🎁 this Miracle✨✨ to see her perform again....😘 And what a SUBLIME Performance of one of the Best Song by Edith Piaf🏅 that belongs to the French Musical Patrimony..🎶🎵.🏆.. Still crying again with you my friend.😭 Thank you for such a beautiful😪 and so sincere reaction. I love Celine so, so much.💙❤
Thank you very much for your immediate and touching response. I believe that the fact that French President Macron invited her personally was an extra motivating factor for Celine Dion -- in addition to everything else that was necessary for her to be able to do it. This was a stellar moment in time at the end of an absolutely fantastic opening ceremony. It couldn't have been any better. All the very best from Germany
She out did herself, what a comeback. I saw her crying because she couldn't hit the high notes that she wanted to do for the song, so she had to change up a lot of the notes for her to sing. I'm so proud of her. Just knowing her battle is yet not over and she can relapse at any time is heartbreaking, and her performance here was absolutely jaw-dropping astounding. Everything to be proud of ...
La plus belle chanson de tous les temps , sans doute interprétée par la plus charismatique chanteuse francophone . Vive la France , vive le Québec . 🟦⚜🟥
I loved that she was wearing tennis shoes with that gown! SO great! THE voice of our age! you can hear her breath as you see her take it. LIVE It's so wonderful to hear the original Celine. She started compensating several years ago when her disease first started to take control of her body. She still sounded wonderful but it was different. This is pure Celine!
Show committee already confirmed that the musical performances had to be playback. Same as many years ago when Freddie Mercury and Montserra Caballe sang their Barcelona song for Olympia. It's common practice and often not the artists' choice.
@@kawespI read that it's playback but was recorded when she arrived at Paris. I also think she was still singing it because at some videos uploaded by the athletes you could hear dual voice.
@@betttychan very interesting. Thank you. Finally, I think no one cares if it's playback or not, it was simply stunning to see her and to listen to her.
@@yanu7414 Yeah, well, her pianist, the Olympic music director, and French news all confirmed that she insisted on singing live, so you're wrong. Gaga and Ava used playback, but not Céline.
Not only does she have a excellent voice but her control of pitch volume and using all the vocal techneques she has at her disposal is totally amazing.
Live performance! We can hear her breathing. Only the very best work from our darling Celine! What a vocal force of nature she is! Congratulations, chere Celine! Ur performance was one for the ages! ❤
As soon as you said Celine is one for the Top 3 greatest vocalists of all time, i knew you know what you are talking about and hit subscribed. Lol. Celine ate that performance. What a comeback❤ And you are right. God did THAT!!
So Glad you saw the doc! i thought exactly the same b/c in it she was cracking in every other notes due to the muscles spasm restricting her lungs. it was HEARTBREAKING to watch how crippling that disease is for her. She knew how to sing flawlessly but her body is just not letting her control her voice. i was SHOCKED to see how well she recovered for this performance. I hope it'll always be like this and get even better for her!
I live in Paris, which is Céline's second home.🏅 Coming from Quebec, French is her mother tongue.✨✨✨ We're all very proud in France because Céline has many songs in French 🎁 written by the greatest, including Jean Jacques Goldman, who wrote her greatest hits.🏆 Merci beaucoup .😘
OH MY GOD.. CELINE YOU ARE THE BEST...CANT STOP MY TEARS...YOUR SWEET VOICE UNITE ALL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WITH GODS LOVE.. BOW FOR YOU CELINE..
The queen Celine is back. Thank you for saying it was live it was 100 per cent live. She was away from the crowds because of the noise so it didn't bother her when she was singing thank you for your reaction to Celine Dion performance
Yes, but she’s claimed by the Caribbean people, most of Africa and some of Asia. I find it so beautiful, bc her voice has the power to unite ppl. She’s loved ❤
Thank tou so much again, @Thatsingerreactions. You had me almost on the floor laughing when the mans voice to introduce her came up, and you were like, "Who was that, though?" I cracked up😂. But all your commentary and passion i really appreciated. Thank you for making us happy. And yes, praise God for making this happen.❤
100% right on in your reactions to Celine's song! She is the Queen in Canada, her voice is one I recognize immediately and I collect and listen to her music regularly. And... it is not music that can be listened to quietly.... I cannot play a Celine song without having the volume cranked. She has that voice that comes straight out of heaven to bless us here on earth... and her emotions, her vocals, her body movements during this song shows how much she is impacted by the enormity of what she is doing.. of what she has battled back from and continues to battle with. She deserves a gold medal for what she did to get her voice and her whole body to the point where she could safely (and to her highest standards) sing that song.... I'll be eternally grateful that she fought hard to allow us to hear her angelic voice raised in song once more! Bravo Celine!!
Watch Edith Piaf’s original performance of that song then read and translate the lyrics to see just how emotional and beautiful that song is - ends with “God reunites those who love each other “ 😭🙏
That sneeze didn't obey Siri's order 😂 Celine's comeback had me in tears , it was an amazing surprise seeing her at that ceremony. She's my number one favourite singer of all times. I was making dinner and my husband called me sayin u gotta come running see who's performing. I saw her and then started crying it was so heartwarming. What a great comeback, to perform like that on the Eiffel Tower u have to be Celine Dion. She was the perfect choice for that song at that ceremony , they couldn't have done better. Such a huge deal
Yeah and an artist who cannot perform because of disease but would somehow do a playback (pre recorsed) performance on such a stage it would be really bad/badly received, at least in France we really don't like "fake". This is not hollywood, if you can't sing there are tons of others who can (although not like that of course, very impressive perf).
What a MAGESTERIAL and EPIC place and moment for a comeback. ✨✨✨🎶🎵 I live in Paris, which is Céline's second home ,Coming from Quebec, French is her mother tongue.😘 After 4 hours of waiting it was when I began to hear her voice that the tears started to flow. 😭❤ Her interpretation of the Legendary Edith Piaf's Iconic “L'Hyme à l'Amour” 🏅 is Breathtaking. 💙 And her performance at the top of the Eiffel Tower,🗼 on this rainy Paris night, with all those ✨✨✨ Magnificent lights which add to the Magic of this Exceptional performance...🎁 What more can you ask for than that.... ??? 💦👋👋👋 Thank you so much, my friend , for your so Beautiful 😪 reaction to our Great Céline.🥰❤ I didn't stop crying , in fact I cry since friday night each time I watch her .🥲😘
The mic was definitely on! David Foster did not fly half way around the world to "pretend" to play the piano! You can even hear her breathe right before the interlude.
J’adore Céline! With her illness and staff on standby just in case things went wrong she filled the city and the world with Love for those five minutes… she looks truly like a majestic angel in the rain! ❤
Love this and love how excited you are. I think you would’ve been even more excited if you heard the American clip. Our Kelly Clarkson is hosting the Olympics, and after this performance, she could barely talk because she was crying.
This performance got me incredibly emotional. The documentary kinda wrecked my soul to be honest, so seeing her back at that level was just overwhelming
Up to 2 billion people around the world watched this live , including me, and I can’t be the only one that stood up and cheered and clapped at the end, and I was alone at home watching it on t.v…. I.m 60 years old and cried for her… a performance for the ages… welcome back Celine and congratulations and thank you 🙏
Not since Monserrat Cabelle and Freddie Mercury performing "Barcelona", 1992, have we had this moment x
Je me suis levee. J ai applaudi. Et j ai pleure depuis la pemier note. Celine etait eblouissante. La scene fut eblouissante et memorable. Quelle merveille !
Absolutely magical performance, one for the ages and for all ages. Humanity healed a little bit, that's how good it was.
I stood up i clapped i cried i danced i was speechless i witnessed HISTORY
I cried and clapped and shouted at the television also at the end
At this point, it's way more than a performance, it's a legacy.
Absolutely 100% historical moment that will be admired for decades
@@entheosx4502 Agreed. Edith Piaf would be proud!
It’s so beautiful that everyone around the world was rooting for her. Such a beautiful and emotional performance

@@OuiMimi Tout à fait. :) Je suis Québécoise. 😀
Written in 1949 for her lover who died in a plane crash on his way to see her. Recorded in 1950
Golden medal for the playback 🤣😉
Written by : Marguerite Monnot and Edith Piaf
Marguerite Monnot est la principale parolière. Je le sais parce qu'elle est de la Nièvre comme moi.
She had to relearn how to sing because singing can trigger spasms. This would trigger violent attacks of her illness. The fact that she faced up to this performance under such pressure has my absolute respect.
You just know that her husband is looking down at her smiling and saying "I knew you were going to sing again and you did."
I forgot her husband died. This makes the song even more symbolic for her ❤
She was singing to Rene too, not just all of France.
her husband the pedo?
Celine worked hard for this, not sure how long she'll be back. She is magnificent ❤❤ God bless her. This made me cry, it's so great.
I don't think she'll be able to tour or have a residency anymore (with her health issues) but she could still do one-offs and record and I'm so happy for her and her family and fans. This was spine tingling and made my mother cry (she's doesn't cry much over music).

This is the best performance of her career.

She out did herself, what a comeback. I saw her crying because she couldn't hit the high notes that she wanted to do for the song, so she had to change up a lot of the notes for her to sing. I'm so proud of her. Just knowing her battle is yet not over and she can relapse at any time is heartbreaking, and her performance here was absolutely jaw-dropping astounding. Everything to be proud of ...
What? What notes were changed? Are you speaking of this performance??
La plus belle chanson de tous les temps , sans doute interprétée par la plus charismatique chanteuse francophone . Vive la France , vive le Québec . 🟦⚜🟥
Watched this live and cried,she was fantastic after having gone through all she has,words can’t describe the feeling.
I loved that she was wearing tennis shoes with that gown! SO great! THE voice of our age! you can hear her breath as you see her take it. LIVE It's so wonderful to hear the original Celine. She started compensating several years ago when her disease first started to take control of her body. She still sounded wonderful but it was different. This is pure Celine!
Show committee already confirmed that the musical performances had to be playback. Same as many years ago when Freddie Mercury and Montserra Caballe sang their Barcelona song for Olympia. It's common practice and often not the artists' choice.
@@kawespI read that it's playback but was recorded when she arrived at Paris. I also think she was still singing it because at some videos uploaded by the athletes you could hear dual voice.
@@betttychan very interesting. Thank you. Finally, I think no one cares if it's playback or not, it was simply stunning to see her and to listen to her.
@@kawespany real fans would know that when celine exaggerates her lips movements like she did here, that means she’s not singing live
@@yanu7414 Yeah, well, her pianist, the Olympic music director, and French news all confirmed that she insisted on singing live, so you're wrong. Gaga and Ava used playback, but not Céline.
So so happy that she is back
Even with what she went through her voice is still strong and powerful
Not only does she have a excellent voice but her control of pitch volume and using all the vocal techneques she has at her disposal is totally amazing.
Live performance! We can hear her breathing. Only the very best work from our darling Celine! What a vocal force of nature she is! Congratulations, chere Celine! Ur performance was one for the ages! ❤
she was an angel from heaven beautiful rendition
Is it a miracle? Yes!!
Absolutely live at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in France. It was a very moving & beautiful performance
It was not, but that’s okay. It probably wasn’t her choice
As soon as you said Celine is one for the Top 3 greatest vocalists of all time, i knew you know what you are talking about and hit subscribed. Lol. Celine ate that performance. What a comeback❤
And you are right. God did THAT!!
Perfect pitch is rare. Celine Dion has perfect pitch x
She would be. It's a pitch corrected recording.
@@distanceismyplastercastAgree
So Glad you saw the doc! i thought exactly the same b/c in it she was cracking in every other notes due to the muscles spasm restricting her lungs. it was HEARTBREAKING to watch how crippling that disease is for her. She knew how to sing flawlessly but her body is just not letting her control her voice. i was SHOCKED to see how well she recovered for this performance. I hope it'll always be like this and get even better for her!
I live in Paris, which is Céline's second home.🏅
Coming from Quebec, French is her mother tongue.✨✨✨
We're all very proud in France because Céline has many songs in French 🎁
written by the greatest, including Jean Jacques Goldman, who wrote her greatest hits.🏆
Merci beaucoup .😘
Nous somes tous très fiers de Céline ici au Québec et oui, Jean Jacques Goldman est un compositeur génial.
OH MY GOD.. CELINE YOU ARE THE BEST...CANT STOP MY TEARS...YOUR SWEET VOICE UNITE ALL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WITH GODS LOVE.. BOW FOR YOU CELINE..
QUEEN IS BACK 👑💐❤️✨️
💯❤️👏 amazing. Wow. Powerful. ❤️. And may I add. "It's not queen Camilla. Lol 🤣🤣
Ugh. She NEVER fails. Beautiful. Amazing.❤❤❤❤ thank you brother.
Brava Celine, what a performance. You are a goddess.❤️❤️❤️
The highlight of the 2024 Olympics! Cheers to Celine and to you for your reaction. ❤
The queen Celine is back. Thank you for saying it was live it was 100 per cent live. She was away from the crowds because of the noise so it didn't bother her when she was singing thank you for your reaction to Celine Dion performance
Ooooh I've been waiting for this reaction! She's just incredible. Knowing everything she's gone through, this performance brought tears to my eyes.
I hope everybody knows she is from Québec, Canada 😉 she speaks French but she is not French. She is our Céline 😊 Our national treasure.
So true, but she became a world wide treasure. 🍁🇨🇦
Yes, but she’s claimed by the Caribbean people, most of Africa and some of Asia. I find it so beautiful, bc her voice has the power to unite ppl. She’s loved ❤
@@dmiller5765Yes, a worldwide treasure from Québec
@@minmcgonagall9190she’s not claimed by, but loved by, that’s not the same
@kleptomaniagta5362 Bien sûr!
I was on my livingroom floor sobbing...so happy for her.
What a comeback kid you are Celine!
Unbelievable! Tears streaming down my face while listening to our dear Celine. What a champion!
It was the announcer's voice, saying "Celine Dion" in the most French accent ever! :)
Thank you Celine. You are an Angel that just keeps on giving to the world.
Inspiring us all ❤❤❤❤❤
Céline was the apotheosis of the ceremony ❤
Loved your review. Celine was impossibly magnificent.
Thank tou so much again, @Thatsingerreactions. You had me almost on the floor laughing when the mans voice to introduce her came up, and you were like, "Who was that, though?" I cracked up😂. But all your commentary and passion i really appreciated. Thank you for making us happy. And yes, praise God for making this happen.❤
I cried so hard when I saw this. The GOAT is back 😊
The queen of song and souls. Now and always.
I don't care if I ever hear another artist live. If I can hear her in concert, I'll die happy.
We are glad to Celine back on stage :)
Celine ate and left no crumbs ❤️.
Her husband would be proud of her ❤️.
100% right on in your reactions to Celine's song! She is the Queen in Canada, her voice is one I recognize immediately and I collect and listen to her music regularly. And... it is not music that can be listened to quietly.... I cannot play a Celine song without having the volume cranked.
She has that voice that comes straight out of heaven to bless us here on earth... and her emotions, her vocals, her body movements during this song shows how much she is impacted by the enormity of what she is doing.. of what she has battled back from and continues to battle with.
She deserves a gold medal for what she did to get her voice and her whole body to the point where she could safely (and to her highest standards) sing that song.... I'll be eternally grateful that she fought hard to allow us to hear her angelic voice raised in song once more! Bravo Celine!!
Watch Edith Piaf’s original performance of that song then read and translate the lyrics to see just how emotional and beautiful that song is - ends with “God reunites those who love each other “ 😭🙏
Am so happy for her. Amazing performance 💯
That sneeze didn't obey Siri's order 😂
Celine's comeback had me in tears , it was an amazing surprise seeing her at that ceremony. She's my number one favourite singer of all times. I was making dinner and my husband called me sayin u gotta come running see who's performing. I saw her and then started crying it was so heartwarming. What a great comeback, to perform like that on the Eiffel Tower u have to be Celine Dion. She was the perfect choice for that song at that ceremony , they couldn't have done better. Such a huge deal
😢❤Celine is back í cried seeing This❤my Queen Celine after 4 years❤has made her Greatest comeback after that documentary Í Am Celine Dion.
Bring a tear to a glass eye.
I said the same thing when I heard her special Celine-ism. You go, girl!
Thank you Celine. You are the best in the world.
She would never do a pre recorded song, no matter what, She is a living Legend
Yeah and an artist who cannot perform because of disease but would somehow do a playback (pre recorsed) performance on such a stage it would be really bad/badly received, at least in France we really don't like "fake". This is not hollywood, if you can't sing there are tons of others who can (although not like that of course, very impressive perf).
What a MAGESTERIAL and EPIC place and moment for a comeback. ✨✨✨🎶🎵
I live in Paris, which is Céline's second home ,Coming from Quebec, French is her mother tongue.😘
After 4 hours of waiting it was when I began to hear her voice that the tears started to flow. 😭❤
Her interpretation of the Legendary Edith Piaf's Iconic “L'Hyme à l'Amour” 🏅 is Breathtaking. 💙
And her performance at the top of the Eiffel Tower,🗼 on this rainy Paris night, with all those ✨✨✨
Magnificent lights which add to the Magic of this Exceptional performance...🎁
What more can you ask for than that.... ??? 💦👋👋👋
Thank you so much, my friend , for your so Beautiful 😪 reaction to our Great Céline.🥰❤
I didn't stop crying , in fact I cry since friday night each time I watch her .🥲😘
honestly, this is the best she's sounded since like 2017. This performance is immaculate and I'm so happy celine is back and better than ever
And she was thinking of him while singing…
The mic was definitely on! David Foster did not fly half way around the world to "pretend" to play the piano! You can even hear her breathe right before the interlude.
That's not David Foster. I think his name is Scott Price and he is her Musical Director.
Celine is an amazing vocalist. I was excited to see her back. I hope this means she is experiencing some sort of remission.
J’adore Céline! With her illness and staff on standby just in case things went wrong she filled the city and the world with Love for those five minutes… she looks truly like a majestic angel in the rain! ❤
Love this and love how excited you are. I think you would’ve been even more excited if you heard the American clip. Our Kelly Clarkson is hosting the Olympics, and after this performance, she could barely talk because she was crying.
La prestation de Céline est magnifique
This performance got me incredibly emotional. The documentary kinda wrecked my soul to be honest, so seeing her back at that level was just overwhelming
