Celine Dion & Dan Bigras "Tue-moi" (Céline sur les Plaines - DVD 2008)

Tue-moi
Si tu me vois un jour frotter mes souvenirs
Parce que je ne verrai plus briller mon avenir
Si je fais plus le monde à chaque fois que je bois
Plus de moral d’acier dans mes gueules de bois
Tue-moi
Quand tu commenceras à compter les jours
Qui sépare les fois où je te fais l’amour
Si tu me surprends à fermer les fenêtres
Parce que le bruit des enfants me monte à la tête
Tue-moi
Tu me tueras! si tu t’en vas
Simplement, si tu t’en vas
Si un jour j’ai honte de mes anciens copains
Si je serre les fesses plus fort que les poings
Si je deviens nouveau con et ancien battant
Si je me révolte plus qu’entre deux calmants
Tue-moi
Si tu vois un jour que je m’économise
Si j’ai peur d’avoir froid quand je donne ma chemise
Si tu m’admires plus parce que j’ai peur de perdre
Si t’as plus pour moi que cette tendresse de merde
Tue-moi
Tu me tueras! si tu t’en vas
Simplement, si tu t’en vas

Celine Dion and her tribute to Michael Jackson 
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) Today is anniversary of the Death 

Michael Jackson lives on in the hearts of millions, not just for his unmatched talent and artistry but for his optimistic spirit of kindness, warmth and caring that is sorely missed today. In a world numbed by senseless acts of violence, hatred and needless suffering, we remember and honor Michael’s optimistic passion in spreading universal messages of peace, unity, healing and love to every part of the earth during the all-too brief time he was with us. On this day, our thoughts and prayers are especially with Michael’s children and loved ones as we honor his legacy of compassion and determination that all of us can make a better world without hurt, fear and sorrow. –  The Estate of Michael Jackson

Celine Dion "Then You Look At Me"(Bicentennial Man: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack 1999)

Rest in Peace James Horner and Robin Williams
This film follows the 'life' and times of the lead character, an android who is purchased as a household robot programmed to perform menial tasks. Within a few days the Martin family realizes that they don't have an ordinary droid as Andrew begins to experience emotions and creative thought. In a story that spans two centuries, Andrew learns the intricacies of humanity while trying to stop those who created him from destroying him. 

"Then You Look at Me" is a theme song from The Movie Bicentennial Man. It was supposed to be released as the second single from Celine Dion's album All the Way... A Decade of Song, on December 11, 1999 ."Then You Look at Me" was written by James Horner and Will Jennings, who wrote for Dion her 1997 hit "My Heart Will Go On". 

Then You Look At Me
Laugh and cry, live and die 
Life is a dream we are dreaming 
Day by day I find my way 
Look for the soul and the meaning 
Then you look at me 
And I always see 
What I have been searching for 
I'm lost as can be 
Then you look at me 
And I am not lost anymore 
People run, sun to sun, 
Caught in their lives ever flowing 
Once begun, life goes till it's gone 
We have to go where it's going 
Then you look at me 
And I always see 
What I have been searching for 
I'm lost as can be 
Then you look at me 
And I am not lost anymore 
And you say you see 
When you look at me 
The reason you love life so 
Though lost I have been 
I find love again 
And life just keeps on running 
And life just keeps on running 
You look at me and life comes from you 

(James Horner / Will Jennings)

Celine Dion "La mer et l'enfant"(Céline une seule fois / Live 2013 (2CD+DVD/Blu-ray 2014)

La mer et l'enfant
Je suis la mère, tu es l’enfant
Aucun lien n’est plus sage
Tu es le sable, moi l’océan
Tu es mon seul rivage
Je te recouvre chaque instant
De mes vagues de passion
Comme une mer de sentiments
Et d’affection
De toute ma tendresse
Mes vagues te caressent
Comme un enfant face à la mer
Souriant et apaisé
Tu trouves en moi quelques repères
Notre rêve est réalisé
Ne pleure plus, je te rassure
Car c’est la mer qui efface
Les cicatrices et les blessures
Écrites dans le sable à la surface
Je suis la mère, tu es l’enfant
Aucun lien n’est plus fort
Tu es ma terre, moi l’océan
Tu es mon seul décor
Je sais devenir capricieuse
Je peux me mettre en sang
Et jouer la tempête furieuse
Qui te défend
De tout mon privilège
Mes vagues te protègent
Comme un enfant face à la mer
Souriant et apaisé
Tu trouves en moi quelques repères
Notre rêve est réalisé
Ne pleure plus, je te rassure
Car c’est la mer qui efface
Les cicatrices et les blessures
Écrites dans le sable à la surface
Comme un enfant face à la mer
Souriant et apaisé
Tu trouves en moi quelques repères
Notre rêve est réalisé
Ne pleure plus, je te rassure
Car c’est la mer qui efface
Les cicatrices et les blessures
Écrites dans le sable à la surface

Celine Dion "Ce n'était qu'un rêve" (The Millennium Concert 1999)

Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Dans un grand jardin enchanté
Tout à coup je me suis retrouvée
Une harpe des violons jouaient
Des anges au ciel me souriaient
Le vent faisait chanter l'été
Je marchais d'un pas si léger
Sur un tapis aux pétales de roses
Une colombe sur mon épaule
Dans chaque main une hirondelle
Des papillons couleurs pastel

Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Mais si beau qu'il était vrai
Comme un jour qui se lève
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Un sourire sur mes lèvres
Un sourire que j'ai gardé
Au-delà de mon rêve

Le soleil et ses rayons d'or
Les fleurs dansaient sur un même accord
Des chevaux blancs avec des ailes
Semblaient vouloir toucher le ciel
Vraiment j'étais au pays des fées

Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Mais si beau qu'il était vrai
Comme un jour qui se lève
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Un sourire sur mes lèvres
Un sourire que j'ai gardé
Au-delà de mon rêve

Ce n'était qu'un rêve

Did You Know That ?

Toni Braxton wasn’t originally supposed to sing “Un-Break My Heart,” because it was intended for Celine Dion, but then they traded songs.

She told “Entertainment Tonight,””I had ‘Because You Loved Me’. I heard the song, [and] loved it. My record company said, ‘It’s not really time to put out a song yet between your album.’

“Celine had ‘Un-Break My Heart’ and I don’t know what the situation was, but I know I got it. We kind of switched off there.”

Both songs were written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. Diane once said, “Toni hated [‘Un-Break My Heart’]. She didn’t want to do it.”

Celine Dion "Quand on n'a que l'amour" (Celine Dion: Live à Paris 1996)

'Live à Paris' was recorded at the renowned Zenith Theatre in Paris in October 1995 before an audience of over 6000 devoted fans. The album contains songs from the highly successful French language album, 'D'eux.' In fact, 'D'eux' is the most successful French album by an artist in the history of recorded music. And 'Live à Paris' captures the songs from this popular creative work in a live performance.

Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
À s'offrir en partage 
Au jour du grand voyage 
Qu'est notre grand amour 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Mon amour toi et moi 
Pour qu'éclatent de joie 
Chaque heure et chaque jour 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Pour vivre nos promesses 
Sans nulle autre richesse 
Que d'y croire toujours 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Pour meubler de merveilles 
Et couvrir de soleil 
La laideur des faubourgs 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Pour unique raison 
Pour unique chanson 
Et unique secours 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Pour habiller matin 
Pauvres et malandrins 
De manteaux de velours 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
À offrir en prière 
Pour les maux de la terre 
En simple troubadour 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
À offrir à ceux-là 
Dont l'unique combat 
Est de chercher le jour 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Pour tracer un chemin 
Et forcer le destin 
À chaque carrefour 
Quand on n'a que l'amour 
Pour parler aux canons 
Et rien qu'une chanson 
Pour convaincre un tambour 

Alors sans avoir rien 
Que la force d'aimer 
Nous aurons dans nos mains 
Amis le monde entier

Ethan Bortnick Interviews with Celine Dion 2013/2014

In this behind the scenes, never before seen interview between Celine Dion and a young Ethan Bortnick (Age 12). Ethan and Celine chat about the heart behind their music and what obstacles they had to over come in life to do what they love most... Music! Ethan discusses how he believes "Anything is Possible", and that's why he wrote the song Anything is Possible. 

Celine Dion & Ethan Bortnick

One celebrity encounter that does stand out to the young pianist though is meeting Celine Dion backstage at a show in New York when he was just six years old.
Though Ethan says Celine was really nice, he didn’t recognize her at first when she said hello.
“I had no idea who that lady was,” Ethan remembered. “She had some weird mask on for vocal breathing or something.” As Celine walked away to go get into costume, people just stood in the hallway with their  jaws dropped over what had just happened. Ethan managed to lighten the mood though. “I asked, “Who is that lady?” he said. “I had no idea, my parents didn’t tell me.”

Ethan Bortnick was the youngest artist on the Recording of "We are the world 25 for Haiti" Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti" to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.

Celine Dion: ‘Rene wanted me to be here. He’s fighting and working really hard’

Superstar Celine Dion flew a round-trip flight of 6,000 miles within 12 hours between Boston, where her husband, Rene Angelil, is hospitalized for life-saving cancer treatment, and Las Vegas to fulfill a promise to sing with Andrea Bocelli at our 19th Annual “Power of Love” gala for Keep Memory Alive on Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

“I wouldn’t let anybody down after making the promise,” she told me in an exclusive backstage interview after her sound-check rehearsal with Andrea minutes after she had landed here at McCarran International Airport. “Rene wanted me to be here. He’s fighting and working really hard. The reality is hard, but we have the ticket to live today. Today, we’re alive, and we’re going for it.”

Celine paid all the expenses of gas and crew for the flight as a donation to the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health fundraiser. Her flight was a poignant act of courage and bravery.

On Saturday morning, she was at Rene’s hospital bedside, and he urged her to “go sing your best in Las Vegas.” Mid-afternoon, she landed at McCarran, and a limousine sped her to MGM Grand Garden Arena. She rehearsed in a simple brown-and-white blouse and jean skirt.

At 10 p.m., she was backstage in an elegant, black, floor-length gown. Celine chatted with actress Sharon Stone (“Basic Instinct,” “Casino”), who had just introduced Andrea to the 1,500 dinner guests. Our thanks to Denise Truscello for the intimate photo gallery onstage and backstage at the “Power of Love” gala.

Andrea invited her to join him onstage for their duet of “The Prayer.” As they finished the sensational and highly emotional song, thousands of rose petals showered on the teary-eyed crowd and stars onstage. Sharon carried Andrea’s 3-year-old daughter Virginia to him as Celine and he acknowledged the cheers and standing ovation.

After posing for photographs backstage with the Bocelli family and Sharon, Celine changed, and her waiting limousine took her back to the jet ready for takeoff from McCarran. On Sunday morning after the red-eye flight, she was safely back at Rene’s hospital bedside.

Here’s our conversation. It was emotional and teary. Sentences didn’t quite get finished, and a couple of times our hands reached out to strengthen each other.

This reunion with Andrea Bocelli is very special.
It’s been a long time since we’ve sung together, but it doesn’t feel like the time passed because it’s memorable. I’m not saying this pretentiously. You sometimes create a reunion, a friendship, and it’s special. You do a lot of things in show business, you encounter a lot of people, you do lots, as you know.

But some of the duets are memorable, and sharing what you love with somebody who knows beyond what I do, the classical part of the music, and that takes a special talent who wants to sing with a pop singer and who does this so friendly, so professionally.

I thought singing with him once was a gift of life; singing with him again was a privilege — and now our friendship because time after time it still happens.

Did it click immediately today?
Instantly. Like I said, the time from last time did not pass. That’s special. I told him, “OK, we’ve got “The Prayer,” and I don’t think we can hit better than that because “The Prayer” is so beautiful.

Everybody in the arena was crying. You were even tearing up.
It’s a wonderful song. Sometimes the meaning of it has more importance. Sometimes you think you receive a song, and sometimes you think you’re singing a moment that’s going to last forever.

And of course at this moment with Rene’s fight, this is a very precious song with additional meaning?
It is a very special song and precious. Rene is fighting very hard, and he’s a trooper. I’m amazed; I’ve always been because I married him. I know he could support and create a career for me, but as my husband and the father of my children, he’s done so much more.

And you said he was proud of you and wanted you to come today.
He wants me to be here. He wants me strong, he wants me back, he wants to see me again. Before he goes, he wants me to make sure that …

Is that a reality now?
He’s fighting, he’s fighting, and he’s working really hard.

And you are, too?
Yes. We’re not sleeping, we’re working on the health, we see doctors, we have treatments. It’s hard, the reality is hard, but we have the ticket to live today. We’re not dead; we’re living. Today, we’re alive, and we’re going for it.

And you’re still going for it to reopen at Caesars Palace on Aug. 27.
That’s right. Tonight, though, I’m only thinking for tonight. I’m living a day at a time, but I’m going to be ready, as well, Aug. 27. I can’t wait.

It’s going to be hard, it’s going to be emotional because I know that the type of career and friendship I’ve had with the fans, if I may say, is beyond music. I think they will be there for me.
When the curtain opens, I don’t know how strong I will be that night.

It will be as emotional as you get when singing “Ne Quitte Pas (Don’t Leave Me)”?
Probably.

A long, 6,000-mile, round-trip journey in less than a day. It shows your love for Las Vegas, shows your love for Andrea, shows your love for Keep Memory Alive.
And shows my love for my husband because he wanted me to be here. That was the first OK for me to come because I would have stayed with him for sure all my life, but he wanted me to be here, and because I love Andrea, and I think it’s a wonderful benefit.

We can’t thank you enough for coming, and we admire you, we love you. You are brave and courageous. Please give our love to Rene, and tell him he is in our prayers.
Thank you.
