#firsttimereaction #ginettereno #jeanferland #celinedion
Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at for the first time ever "Un Peu Plus Haut, Un Peu Plus Loin." PATREON request said I should take a look at these three stars: Jean-Pierre Ferland, Céline Dion and Ginette Reno sing this song. Stunning and very emotional, I had to take a break midway, see if I got to finish this reaction!

Hi all thanks for watching, and your comments. I have a new reaction with Ginette here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZzLoZaYd6-Er7s

[@carlbernaquez3449]

This song was written by Jean-Pierre Ferland in 1967 or 69 and its about a love rupture. He wrote that in a hotel room in Paris while beeing completely demolished emotionally. He calls it an Hymn to hope. Gave that song to Ginette Reno and the rest is history

[@sandrablouin2542]

@@carlbernaquez3449 It's also about climbing - in position, in fame, climbing so far up that you leave the ones you love behind, going where they cannot follow... and being all alone on top, afraid of falling down if you try to reach for them, while at the same time, being so awestruck by what you've achieved! All alone at the top, seeing the wonders of the world, not wanting to let it go, but losing what you love for it. Being an international star, constantly touring around the (francophone) world, adored by thousand of women, did not help Jean-Pierre to keep his long-distance relationship alive.

[@freddiegillespie_05]

This was part of a Celine Dion show for the 400th anniversary of Quebec City. As part of her show, she did several duets with several important Quebec singers, probably none more important than Jean-Pierre and Ginette. As others have mentioned, Jean-Pierre wrote the song. It was Ginette's song. This is Ginette's son. (That's why everything shifted in her court, as you say.) Jean-Pierre also sings, but he's what is called in French a chansonnier, meaning the texts of his songs are more important than his vocal abilities (which have indeed been affected by age). PS - What you're seeing from Celine isn't sadness. It's emotion. Ginette was young Celine's idol. And this song... this song isn't about the words so much. They're about pride in being Quebecois.

[@benlarin8426]

Very well said Frédérique! ❤️ So much history in this song and this performance.

[@alliedseawindvoilier2394]

Ginette had everything for her, jean pierre whrote that for a show on top of mount Royal the sky broke open, it’s a song talking about someone going up to heaven and not able to come back, it’s a sad song, but a great song, she could have had a carer like celine with rené Angelil, but she was stuck with lovers that took adventage on her and i think she had a kid too at the moment, so she pass on the international career, but she sang all her life she is like our diamant only for us… sadly you wont be able to listen all jean pierre ferland repertoire, but it’s incredebly rich and soo great !

[@daniellemalouin4392]

@@alliedseawindvoilier2394 You are right, René Angélil wanted to give Ginette Reno a singing career as the one Céline Dion has, but Ginette did not have the freedom to do it. Ginette Reno has the voice and the talent fairly equal to Celine's.

[@annieluna1109]

There is a big emotional story also between Celine and Ginette. Because at first it was Ginette who was René Angélil’s protégé, she had the voice to go international and this was Angélil’s project to do so but Ginette didn’t want to and decided to pursue her career in Quebec , Canada leaving Angélil with his international dream without an Artist to pursue his ambitions. After that he couldn’t find a singer like Ginette, he was loosing everything until he met Celine when she was 13 years old, then he figured out he had the possibility to pursue his dream with Celine. On her side Celine wanted to be an international artist…. The rest is history.

This is what exactly I was going to write to you, Dereck. That explains the big emotional moment for the public, around the minute 5 of this video. An historical moment about 2 diffrent singers' destiny.

The song, to me, has always been about someone wanting more, wanting to be bigger, wanting fame and fortune and leaving a most cherished one behind in the process. She wants to climb higher, go further. She says let go of my arm but keep hold of my hand. Then later, without meaning to, she's the one to let go of the hand. She cries out 'Look, I'm so high, it's beautiful''. I love you, I'll come back to you, if I can climb back down without falling. I still love you but I don't see you anymore, I'm too high, you're too low.

[@granderousse]

Yes, it's the meaning I always heard and since I am old 🙂 I heard the song when it was first recorded by Jean-Pierre Ferland. The singer becomes a star and has to leave his/her lover to climb on top.

Ginette Reno is the first signer René Angelil, who became later the husband of Celine Dion, was manager for. Ginette had a wonderful career, but choosed to continue signing in french and not pursue a carreer in English, in USA. So René Angelil began to manage the carreer of Celine and the rest of the story is well known. This moment is the reunion of those 2 marvelous women. Ginette is really loved in the Province of Quebec. Her presence at this show was a total surprise, so you can now understand why her persence made people so happy.

[@ethiennedegagne8779]

Ginette Reno is the Grande Dame of music in Québec. Even Céline looks up to her and is humbled next to her

[@Jenifael34567]

This song can have a lot of different interpretation, someone's passing, how life can change two people and then separate them, etc. There is also a political/nationalistic uundertone to the song, it was written during the quiet revolution here in quebec. In that decade, Quebec emancipate itself from the catholic church; schools, hospitals became public, education was made widely available and a lot of the public institutions we have today were created at that time. French-canadian became proud of their culture and their unique heritage in nord america and the english superiority over the french speaking part of the population became less and less important. So, Jean-Pierre Ferland was in a way celebrating every opportunity his people had nerver have and now had but at the same time, thinking about the fear of losing a part of ourselves in all those changes.

[@minik746]

Yes, Jean-Pierre Ferland is the songwriter of “Un Peu Plus Haut, Un Peu Plus Loin”. He is a good singer but not the best male vocalist, so yes, Céline did overtaken him but she has such powerful voice. Jean-Pierre Ferland is an awesome songwriter, he has written so many hits over all the decades of his career. He has written hits for himself first but for others too like Ginette Reno and a very young Céline Dion. He is iconic here in Québec. And he has a knack for writing those deeply emotional songs. Now, he is mostly retired (he is 87) but no one has forgotten him, far from it. Ginette Reno is still singing.

[@v.j.3029]

Also at his age, his voice isn’t what it used to be. That’s why he kept on announcing his retirement. He kept missing the stage so he did a few comebacks. My dad repaired some of his antique furnitures back in the 80’s-90’s and Jean-Pierre invited him to do some horseback riding. My dad declined the invitation but he still talks about how nice he was.

[@mornasaoirse1366]

Incredible performances from Ginette Reno and Céline! Such powerful voices! And all in French! Thank you so much Dereck! xx

[@ethiennedegagne8779]

Ive always interprated it as meaning the person singing has passed and is entering heaven... she finds it beautiful, shes taking steps further and further. She wants to go as she she describes how beautiful it is but she doesnt wanna do it alone, without her partner... shes saying she will come back, if shes able to descent, without falling down

[@genevievecanuel1777]

I think there is many different way to interprete the lyrics of that song. For me, it sounds like people you love can not always follow you through the course of life as sometimes, we are not at the same level of consciousness and can not make the moves and decisions we know are the best for them or vice versa. It’s about enjoying the goodness of life and learning to let go, from my point of vue 🤗

[@KdubsSupergma-eb8mo]

À G. Canuel: I am totally in love with your interpretation. You are correct. Merci!

[@Jespher1]

She is in top Shape thats why. And i think she just want to sing her butt off when she is feeling in top form. She delivered like holy crap.

You should check out Celine's "The Power of The Dream" from the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games for a little throwback in honour of Tokyo 2020! Probably one of her most legendary performances. Celine is truly one of the greatest!

Ginette has been signing this song written by Jean-Pierre for decades. This was Celine’s show in Quebec where she invited many artists to sing in duo with them. Beautiful moment in Quebec history

A historic moment in Canada music Ginette Reno in her 70 s at that time just imagine her voice in her 20s my god back then one of the 3 best voices in the world 🌎 in her 20s and you can imagine his the very first idol of Celine that’s why is crying while singing and also the only time that they sang together that’s why here in Quebec a historic moment that everybody wanted to see for so long those 2 singing together Celine always said that Ginette his her idol and that performance is probably the most emotional song that Celine has done since besides the passing of her parents she sang the same day that they died monstrous powerful performance 😁👌

Jean-Pierre Ferland is 87 years old and Ginette Reno is 75 years old. Ginette is one if not the greatest singer we have. This song was first interpreted by Ginette and Jean-Pierre in the late 60's. You must try 'ceux qui s'en vont, ceux qui nous laisse" by Ginette Reno.

Indeed, this song, interpreted by this great lady that is "Ginette Reno" is immense vocal power. This Lady of Quebec has always interpreted songs she felt, what lived. On the other hand, the person who compose the words, (Mr. Jean-Pierre Ferland), always had beautiful texts. According to the translation that you did, you have seized the meaning very well. A big thank you to you for bringing us back this wonderful moment that gives us the potholes so much that it has a powerful voice !!

Derek, what you just witnessed, it’s a huge moment…. I’m glad it got to you.

[@robertmainville4881]

It's a song about ambition, ascension, and dream, but in the context of a break-up. The author, Jean-Pierre Ferland, said that it was inspired by his own life, when he broke up with a woman he loved because he wanted to pursue a carreer in France while that woman wanted to stay in Québec. It's truely one of the best song ever written in French.

When Céline sing in french she is more "posseded" and haunted by the song than in english

[@cedwel2508]

Hi Dereck! I'm from Montreal and wanted to let you know a little about the history and trilogy between Ginette, Céline and Jean Pierre.. JP is a famous poet and song writer, one of the greatest in French community. He sang Un peu plus haut un peu plus loin decades ago and sang it with Ginette Reno. At that time, she was Rene Angélil's protégé (way before Celine Dion). René had big plans for Ginette but she declined, wanting to remain more local. Céline crossed roads with René later. It took all those years before we seen Celine and Ginette unite to sing along together..

[@medinar26]

What are they singing I'm clueless LOL - but Wow!!! Celine as always with her amazing voice- and Ginette I've never heard her but she can also sing... Wow!!!

[@atomas59]

At first that song from Jean-Pierre Ferland, was sang and recorded by him and Ginette Reno. It's been a long lasting song. A Classic. During the recording of that video, don't forget that Ginette is now half deft.

[@legitor513]

Une belle découverte merci. J'adore la mise en scène, avec le papy, la mamie (regrettée) et la fille. Effectivement je pense que Céline 'overtake' quand elle est avec Jean Pierre. J ai adoré les voix de Jean Pierre et Ginette, je les découvre tous les 2. Et Dereck, nice reaction!

Je pense que Céline ''overtake'' au début, parce qu'elle ''monte la table'' pour la suite avec Ginette! Si non, la marche du début vs le reste de la chanson aurait été trop haute!!!! C'est ce que je pense. en bout de ligne, elle fait la bonne chose! On le comprend plus tard!

[@terrydionne1541]

No one can blame you for getting emotional dude, I'm in tears also. Ginette Reno's voice will always be as powerfull and amazing, she sings with true passion even to this day. I love how you translated the song at the end. Celine is amazing as always... I believe these to be the 2 biggest voices in Quebec/Canada. Ginette was set to take over the world back in the day with Rene Angelil as her manager, but as fate proved, Celine would take on that path and marry Rene and they made history. They both make me really proud to be Canadian❤

[@melaniedagenais7446]

So happy to know that you've watch that video! It was an incredible moment for us in Quebec.
