November 21st 2008 - Dear Friends! I know most of you guys, just like me, are worried about Céline's health. News coming through out the internet show something wrong could be coming as she is either postponing or canceling concerts all across America due to her Illness.

Céline's physician has instructed her to refrain from singing in order to completely recuperate from a recurrent naso-pharyngeal infection which was further complicated by inflamed vocal chords.

Even I had to postpone my trip last weekend because of that. When these things happen, I just realize Céline is a Human Being and not the Angel I think about. Yes, She has all the rights of getting sick sometimes, like all of us.

But that's alright... She should be ok for next week's presentation on Jay Leno's show.

Yes! Celine is scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on December 1 and will be in the Los Angeles area to perform at the Grammy's Nominations concert airing on December 3. Just to point you that she's still here for us, she won her 11th World Music Award! She was honoured for being the 'Best Selling Canadian Artist' at the 2008 World Music Awards recently held in Monte Carlo!

I have already recorded mine:

November 3rd 2008  - A very peculiar tribute was given last night to Céline Dion, the artist to have received the highest number of Félix in all history of the Gala ADISC, making a total of 39 trophies.

Presented by Luc Plamondon, she has been given thanks for never have forgotten her mother language, and for being an example to all the artists whom are following her.

A special work has been composed by André Gagnon specially for her and performed at the Centre Bell stage by the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (OSM). And a nice video showing her way on the road up until now was also shown.

«Reviewing our lives in a couple of minutes it's sometimes a shock, but what a nice one I have been given», she said after a monster Ovation, leaving her with no voice for minutes.

«I have already received prizes of very different types and places, but no matter where it might have been, my manager of love always bring me here, in Québec, because it's here that no matter what I do,  has its meaning. It's here where everything just started, and goes on. Coming back it's like finding again our mother saying I love you. I love you for always» Céline Dion.

It's pretty good except for some moments of our Diva's life which are a bit out of the order to reality and the way they have put Maman Dion (Céline's Mom) on it seems like she's a monster, which I am sure she's not. Anyhow, it's interesting to know Brazil is part of such release (i think) lol.

'My Love: Essential Collection' and 'My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection', The ultimate one will be a double disk release.

Normally Amazon site shows these information even before TeamCéline and usually, they are correct.

- ANNOUNCEMENT: We want to thank Céline for performing in The Netherlands by singing for her with the entire Arena! We want to do this when she sits down on the piano, right before she sings the song 'My Love'. We will sing a small part of 'Because you loved me', with slightly changed lyrics. We hope you will sing along and show your appreciation for Céline!

Lyrics:

For all those times you stood by us,
For all the truth that you made us see,
For all the joy you brought to our lifes,
For all the wrong that you made right,
For every dream you made come true,
For all the love we found in you,
We'll be forever thankful baby,
You're the one who held us up,
Never let us fall,
You're the one who saw us through, through it all...

You were our strength when we were weak,
You were our voice when we couldn't speak,
You were our eyes when we couldn't see,
You saw the best there was in us,

Lifted us up when we couldn't reach,
You gave us faith coz you believed...
We're everything we are,
Because youuuu loved uuuuus!

Let's make this a night to remember! Thank you!

May 18th 2008  - Last Friday I've had my first Céline experience at the Taking Chances Tour. I've written my impressions on it as usual at the TOUR section. If you feel like doing the same or simply want to give it a look, it's just there. :)

- On May 22, three years after being made a 'Chevalier dans l'ordre de la Légion d'honneur' (Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honor), Celine will receive her medal from French President Nicolas Sarkozy during an official ceremony held at the 'Palais de l'Elysée' in Paris, France. This world-renowned Order is the highest decoration in France honouring the merit of notable people for acts rendered to the nation of France and is divided into various ranks. Celine received this honourable title in 2005, however an official ceremony could not be held until now due to Celine's engagement in Las Vegas. This is Celine's second prestigious award of this kind as she was awarded France's 'Chevalier des Arts et Lettres' medal in the 1990's. Congratulations Celine!

February 18th 2008 - I told you all I am having quite a short time but I needed to come quickly and comment on this video of Céline giving a helping hand in South Africa. Céline helped giving food to the most needed ones in that country. Not only she got touched with the so huge life difference between her and them, but she touched also her son and many other people like me for example. Everyday I have more and more reasons to be proud to say Céline is not from this world of ours. Watch yourself! No words are needed.

Agnès Gaudet (Le Journal de Montréal) says she asked the taxi driver about Céline and he told her everyone knows her and all of her songs. He said he has one of her albums at his house too. The most important magazine 'You' with Céline completely sold out upon it had been released. Céline is now the one who sold more concert tickets. Michael Jackson was the best one until her arrival. He had sold 200,000 tickets 10 years ago but she sold around 350,000... OMG!!

- Here we have a video also in French that talks about her arrival too and shows a bit about her stage, and sales of Taking Chances and A new day DVD (100,000 copies each since their releases). Her stage will have lights, will be made out of wood and will let Céline play a bit more with the audience (11 elevators and also a treadmill will make part of the amazing board).

- Céline Dion may embark on an acting career. Denise Robert's company, Cinemaginaire, is developing a project for Madame Angélil. In the projected  Canadian-American coproduction, the pop diva will play the late opera diva, Maria Callas. Writer-director-actress, and frequent Robert collaborator, Denise Filiatrault has signed on to coach Céline into the part. The promise of Filiatrault's expertise must be a confidence booster.
