Celine Dion "Destin" (Celine: La Tournée Mondiale Taking Chances: Le Spectacle (DVD/CD 2010)

Destin

Y'a pas de voiles aux volets de mes frères 

Y'a pas d'opale autour de mes doigts 

Ni cathédrale où cacher mes prières 

Juste un peu d'or autour de ma voix 

Je vais les routes et je vais les frontières 

Je sens, j'écoute, et j'apprends, je vois 

Le temps s'égoutte au long des fuseaux horaires 

Je prends, je donne, avais-je le choix? 

Tel est mon destin 

Je vais mon chemin 

Ainsi passent mes heures 

Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon coeur 

Des feux d'été je vole aux sombres hivers 

Des pluies d'automne aux étés indiens 

Terres gelées aux plus arides déserts 

Je vais je viens, ce monde est le mien 

Je vis de notes et je vis de lumière 

Je virevolte à vos cris, vos mains 

La vie m'emporte au creux de tous ses mystères 

Je vois dans vos yeux mes lendemains 

Tel est mon destin 

Je vais mon chemin 

Ainsi passent mes heures 

Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon coeur 

Je vais les routes et je vais les frontières 

Je sens, j'écoute, et j'apprends, je vois 

Le temps s'égoutte au long des fuseaux horaires 

Je prends, je donne, avais-je le choix? 

Je prends le blues aux signaux des répondeurs 

Je prends la peine aux aéroports 

Je vis l'amour à des kilomètres ailleurs 

Et le bonheur à mon téléphone 

Tel est mon destin 

Je vais mon chemin 

Ainsi passent mes heures 

Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon coeur

(Jean-Jacques Goldman)

Celine Dion "Je sais pas" (Celine: La Tournée Mondiale Taking Chances: Le Spectacle (DVD/CD 2010)

Je sais pas

Détourner des rivières, porter des poids 

Traverser des mers, je saurais faire 

Défier des machines, narguer des lois 

Les foudres divines, ça m'effraie pas 

J'sais prendre un coup, le rendre aussi 

River des clous, ça j'ai appris 

J'suis pas victime, j'suis pas colombe 

Et pour qu'on m'abîme, faut qu'je tombe 

Je sais les hivers, je sais le froid 

Mais la vie sans toi, je sais pas 

Je savais le silence depuis longtemps 

J'en sais la violence, son goût de sang 

Rouges colères, sombres douleurs 

Je sais ces guerres, j'en ai pas peur 

Je sais me défendre, j'ai bien appris 

On est pas des tendres par ici 

Je sais les hivers, je sais le froid 

Mais la vie sans toi, je sais pas 

Lutte après lutte, pire après pire 

Chaque minute, j'ai cru tenir 

J'voudrais apprendre jour après jour 

Mais qui commande à nos amours? 

Je sais les hivers, je sais le froid 

Mais la vie sans toi, je sais pas 

Je sais pas 

Je sais pas

Did You Know That ?

On May 27th, 1990, Celine participated in a Walkathon to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis research on Saint Helen’s Island in Montreal. This cause has been close to her heart since she first became involved in 1982. Since committing to the cause, Celine has made a significant impact on raising funds for research to help fight this disease.

Britney Spears wants to collaborate with Celine Dion. Duet in sight?

Interviewed by an Australian TV Britney Spears has confirmed that to hear the new album will have to wait some time, "Well, this is in the pipeline at the moment. I'm taking one day at a time. This is the longest series of shows in Las Vegas I've been doing lately. I will make a two-week break, then come back to work. "And among the collaborations of her dreams? Gwen Stefani (because it was her neighbor and is 'cool'), Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. Can she fulfill these "forbidden dreams"?

Britney Spears wants to collaborate with Celine Dion.

Celine Dion "Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" (Celine: La Tournée Mondiale Taking Chances: Le Spectacle (DVD/CD 2010)

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)

S'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour jouer son bonheur

Et miser sa fortune

Sur le rouge du coeur

Pour accepter les larmes

Accepter nuit et jour

De se livrer sans armes

Aux griffes de l'amour

S'il n'en restait qu'une

À n'être pas blasée

Et pleurer pour deux thunes

Sur un vieux canapé

Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour l'amour cinéma

Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une

Je serais celle-là

S'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour aller bravement

Rêver au clair de lune

Aux bras de son amant

Et pour avoir l'audace

De confier en été

À l'étoile, qui passe

Des voeux d'éternité

S'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour bêtement tracer

Sur le sable des dunes

Deux coeurs entrelacés

Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour l'amour grand format

Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une

Je serais celle-là

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour oser affirmer

Qu'il n'est pire infortune

Que de ne pas aimer

De suivre au bout du monde

Sans question sans contrat

Je serais celle-là

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour envier le manège

Pour les uns et les unes

Et puis toujours se piègent

Pour envier leurs folies

Leurs excès, leurs tracas

Je serais celle-là

Je serais celle-là

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour chercher sans pudeur

Une épaule opportune

Où cacher son bonheur

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une

Pour l'amour à tout va

Oui s'il n'en restait qu'une

Je serais celle-là

Celine Dion : Eurovision Milestones: 1988

The Eurovision Song Contest 1988 was the 33rd edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. The contest took place on 30 April 1988 in Dublin, Ireland, following the country's win at the previous 1987 edition. The presenters were Pat Kenny and Michelle Rocca.

The host broadcaster was Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) which revamped the show's production style compared to its earlier editions, in order to appeal to a younger audience.

The winner was Switzerland with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi", performed by future international superstar Celine Dion and composed by Atilla Şereftuğ with lyrics in French by Nella Martinetti. 

Twenty-one countries took part, after an initial plan of twenty-two, as Cyprus withdrew its already registered entry for breaching the contest's rules by being published few years earlier, 
in an attempt to represent the country at a prior edition of the contest.

Celine Dion : Eurovision Memory "Ne partez pas sans moi"1988

“As I mentioned before, we had prepared a backing tape which included bass, drums, and the computerised sounds prepared by Donald Häfliger’s Atari. Donald went with us to mime the keyboards on stage, whilst two old friends from the Dorados band – Walter Parolo and Bruno Schwarz – took care of the bass and percussion parts. Bruno and Walti, who both died quite young unfortunately, enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the Eurovision Song Contest to the full. The rehearsals were far easier than two years before in Bergen. The Irish orchestra was excellent. Up to the moment she arrived in Dublin, Céline did not have an idea of what was awaiting her. It was only when she saw the giant stage – so tierisch gross! – that she realized she was about to be part of something really important.”

“Céline was in Lausanne too and performed her new song, ‘Where does my heart beat now’. I had also submitted two songs for Céline’s new album, but her American producer David Foster said he did not need any European intervention. There is no getting into this American mafia! It took quite a long time before Céline became successful internationally with her English hits, but it was probably inevitable that she would be a world star. To my mind, the Eurovision Song Contest was the trampoline she needed. After her victory in Dublin, René Angelil managed to increase the budget for her recording project from 250,000 dollar to over one million dollar – and all of this because of the Eurovision win! René, a very clever guy, had invited the boss of Céline’s American record company to Dublin, who was obviously very impressed by her winning the event, and managed to bargain a better prize for her there and then.”

“Many, many years later, Céline gave a concert in Genève. It was in 2008. I called Urs Peter Keller, asking if he could arrange for me to meet Céline during rehearsals – which he did. I went there with two of my friends from the recording studio, but I was the only one of the three of us who was allowed into the concert hall. While Céline was doing an excellent, professional sound check without any of the impossible behaviour you would expect from a diva, I sat down on row five, in the dark. Once she had noticed there was someone in the hall, she came to the edge of the stage to check who it was – and she recognized me: “Atilla, is it really you?” We exchanged a couple of words, and I told her I had brought two friends who wanted to meet her too. The three of us were guided backstage, where Céline kissed me and then embraced me for some two minutes… she did not let go of me! Though I was a little embarrassed at that time, I later realized this was her way of saying ‘thank you’… after all those years without being in touch. She told me about her life, of travelling from one concert to the other, from one airport to the other, without the opportunity to watch television or reading a newspaper. That is the downside of stardom!”

Celine Dion offers advice to Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez

Superstar songstress Celine Dion turned heads appearing at Sunday’s 2015 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena, but it won’t be until June 13 that she’ll sing for the first time back here joining Andrea Bocelli for the Keep Memory Alive gala again at MGM Grand.


Celine hasn’t yet had time to see Mariah Carey’s headliner residency, “Mariah #1 to Infinity,” filling in during her absence from the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

But she has advice for the fellow superstar, who performed at Sunday’s Billboards for the first time in 17 years, and Jennifer Lopez, who starts across the Strip at Axis at Planet Hollywood, the home of Britney Spears’ “Britney: Piece of Me,” on Jan. 20 (our Q+A with J.Lo was posted Tuesday night); J.Lo was a presenter at the Billboards on Sunday:

“They’ve been in the business as long as me, so they know what to do. But they must pay special attention to the desert climate here. It’s very difficult on the organs. They must keep their nose very moist with cans of saline.

“You just have to have as much humidity as possible. They must have a built-in humidifier system onstage and at home. I’m very positive about them being here.”

She added: “Performing in Las Vegas gives us the chance to be special every night. I’m very positive about living here — it’s the best place as an artist and as a mom, so I would tell them to have as much love and fun as I have had.

“I had to take the break because (husband and former manager) Rene (Angelil) was being a champ. He’s doing wonderful and working hard on his health and happiness. He’s part of every production meeting as we get ready to premiere on Aug. 27.

“There will be about a 30 to 40 percent change in the show. I can’t wait to get started again. Rene and I have been an amazing team all our lives, and we are still together needing each other.”

Have You Ever Been In Love

Have you ever been in love 

You could touch the moonlight 

When your heart is shooting stars 

You're holding heaven in your arms 

Have you ever been in love? 

Have you ever walked on air, ever 

Felt like you were dreamin' 

When you never thought it could 

But it really feels that good 

Have you ever been in love? 

Have you ever been in love 

You could touch the moonlight 

When your heart is shooting stars 

You're holding heaven in your arms 

Have you ever been in love? 

The time I spent waiting for something 

That was heaven sent 

When you find it don't let go 

I know... 

Have you ever said a prayer 

And found that it was answered 

All my hope has been restored 

I ain't looking anymore 

Have you ever been... 

Some place that you ain't leavin' 

Somewhere you gonna stay 

When you finally found the meanin' 

Have you ever felt this way? 

The time I spent waiting for something 

That was heaven sent 

When you find it don't let go 

I know... 

Have you ever been in love 

You could touch the moonlight 

You can even reach the stars 

Doesn't matter near or far 

Have you ever been in love? 

Have you ever been in love? 

So in love

River Deep, Mountain High

When I was a little girl 

I had a rag doll 

Only doll I've ever owned 

Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll 

But only now my love has grown 

And it gets stronger, in every way 

And it gets deeper, let me say 

And it gets higher, day by day 

And do I love you my oh my 

Yeh river deep mountain high 

If I lost you would I cry 

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby 

When you were a young boy 

Did you have a puppy 

That always followed you around 

Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy 

No I'll never let you down 

Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows 

And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows 

And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows 

And do I love you my oh my 

Yeh river deep, mountain high 

If I lost you would I cry 

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby 

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring 

And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing 

And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet 

And I love you baby, river deep mountain high 

Oh yeah you've gotta believe me 

River Deep, Mountain High 

Do I love you my oh my, oh baby 

River deep, mountain high 

If I lost you would I cry 

Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
