My life around her life...

In 1992, when Céline recorded the song "Beauty and the Beast" for its self titled movie, I haven't noticed how fabulous she was. There is an explanation for this terrible fault: I was not used to mind about this whole fan thing and I didn't speak English at all to understand international songs. I was only 12 years old. At that time, music was music only, didn't matter the artist.

Only four years later, in 1996, when the song "Because you loved me", from "UpClose and personal" started to play on radios I started to listen to her magical voice. But I've never expected this feeling to be this way, so strength, so deep inside. I remember having gone to over 20 different cd stores in like 15 days to get my first album ("Falling into you").

On July 19^th 1996, I fell in Love with this fabulous singer, watching to the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games, I had been surprised when she started performing "The power of the dream". From this day on, I could never listen to another singer so often as I do with her.

In 1998, after Titanic, lots of information and albums appeared here, I could start my collection and now, I'm a real fan and lover of this wonderful woman, who came to this world to make us happy. Unfortunately, Brazilian people do not appreciate her at all, I think it's because they don't know either English, or French. But I hope someday every one will love her the way I do.

Also in this year, I've connected the internet and I could notice that she was even more fabulous compared to what i knew, putting myself into a real challenge to find all of her albums. But I think I'm doing it really well - Thanks to Sylvain Beauregard (the first fan I've ever met on Céline), who helped me a lot by providing all the information I needed and sending me material from Canada. (Thanks so much for helping me, dear friend!). :-)

E-bay was also a real important part of my days to collect Céline Dion :)

In January 1999, I decided to show everyone I really love Céline Dion, the best way I could find was to build this page, simple, but I think it's good, mainly because it's made with love, and I do it for fun. I don't want to compete with everyone who have sites, I just want to notice everyone about my existence and about my Love for her.

In March 99, I have started a French course, because I wanted to understand all of her songs, it was being great, but all students decided to quit and the school closed the course. No problems at all, after finishing University, I went back to studying it and I am really speaking it now. COOL!

Until January 20th 2007, the best day of my Life on Céline was in September 1999. I've had the chance of seeing Céline singing LIVE, in Toronto, for the very first time. All details are on the review I did when I arrived. Go there and read it yourself!

On September 28th 2001, Céline sang at the Québec New York Concert to the victims (and heroes) from the September 11th tragedy. I went there together with 2 other friends of mine (and of course, Céline´s fans) just to see Céline´s performance of L´amour existe encore. We really had a great time too.

On March 3rd 2002, I´ve got the chance of realizing part of my dream. Very quickly, but one of the thrillest moments of my life, i could meet Céline and get her autograph. Click here to learn more about it ;)

2003 has been a really special year to Céline Dion and also, to her fans, like me, who have been to Las Vegas between March 25th and December 2007. It has open many doors, making me meet many incredible people as well. From friends to People related to Céline.

I´ve seen A New Day... a total of 23 times, the review from 2003 is here and some pictures, here. In 2004 I went again, and if you would like to give a little look, click here. As usual, I was fortunate to go again in 2005, so, check it out here! It couldn't have been any different in 2006... For March, check it out, here! And for November, here!

2007?? Yes, I have been there twice and finally met Céline. To read all about it, please go here for the day I MET CÉLINE and here for the last 4 nights  ;)


Images taken from Céline's DVD (A NEW DAY... Live in Las Vegas)

Since I have moved to Europe in March 2008, I am taking the time to visit some cool places I have never been to. And I have taken the time to visit the Grévin Museum, in Paris, and take pictures with Céline and René's Statue. [1] [2] [3]

In February 2008 Céline started her World Tour (Taking Chances). I have been lucky enough to make it 13 times. Starting in Antwerp, in Belgium, and followed by Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Nice, I had a lot of fun meeting fans from all over the world in Europe (Click here to go), then in America and Montréal.

I have also been fortunate to meeting Céline twice during the tour. Pictures are on their respective reviews (Montréal and Denver).

2011 - Céline is back to Vegas and I have been lucky to not only seeing it live but also meet her again! To learn more about it, click here!

2012 - I saw her live twice. First time in January, 3 shows in Vegas to celebrate the 5th anniversary of my official meeting with her (I haven't wrote any review because there was nothing so exciting compared to my previous experience, except that she finished singing How do you keep the music playing right next to me - and I will never forget that moment), and second time in October, for the taping of the Sans Attendre TVA Special, in Montreal, Canada. To learn a little bit about how it has been, click here!

2013 couldn't be any different and nothing better than Celebrating my 50th concert ever in Québec, making my dream once again come true ;) If you wanna read a little bit about it, click here.

This is my short story on Céline. I'll update it everytime something interesting happens !
