Amazing as ever. No words can describe the EPIC performance.

[@WVMUSIC_NL]

Just like you i have been waiting all those hours with boats, a spooky horserider, a not so impressive Lady gaga… until that very end.. The newest rumour on facebook was that she was gonna sing this song! So when i heard that music i already knew.. Celine!!!! Just like you i was sucked into my tvscreen to experience the whole extraordinary thing.. Celine looked like royalty with her excuisite dress our Queen Celine deserves!! She did it, her voice was flawless, matured, emotional. Her gestures powerful and soo Celine! She was the reigning Queen triumphing over Paris on the biggest worldstage ever. On the Eiffeltower!!! Just like you i was sooo moved by this performance. Impeccable, sooo powerful, soo graceful and grand! And it made me think of Evita Peron singing to the people of Argentina. Her hair like Evita, her dark make up that added to the grandeur, that beautiful majestic dress! What thoughts would have gone through her mind. Everything after working so hard to a comeback has lead to this moment. They gave her the number 1 moment by ending the ceremony and opening the Olympic Games. Wow just wow.

​@@GilbertGTVHi Gilbert! I don't think that people praise Céline less that the others you refured... at least outside the USA. What you said about "the world finally" this and that, I think you mean in the USA, because at least in Europe, she always hs been bigger that Mariah or Whitney and even more than La Belle. In Europe there's not that competition about who's better or worse, so, when I say that she has been always bigger I'm talking about appreciation or revelance.

[@celinefanonline]

This is not just a performance, and not just a comeback of all comebacks but It's a historic moment (I've been saying this to everyone)

[@singinwithceline]

I learned French as a teenager. The song she sang is called ‘L’Hymme d’amour’ by Edith Piaf. To be asked to sing Edith Piaf is an honor in itself. The song is a love song called ‘The Love Hymn’. It was written by Edith Piaf for her husband and it’s about hope in the face of adversity. Edith Piaf is a legend. There’s never been a more appropriate piece of music for her to sing in this moment.

[@aiguesvives30]

Merci de le préciser parce que si Céline est émue c'est aussi parce que les paroles de cette chanson d'amour lui font penser à tous ceux qu'elle aime. " Dieu réuni ceux qui s'aiment" c'est un message d'amour envoyé au monde

[@ludoafrench]

You have to listen " Mon Dieu " . 1949 Marcel cerdan had to join by plane Édith Piaf, her partner, who was in New York for a show. But he crashed and when she learn that her love was dead , Anyway she decided to perform on stage and singing this song " Mon Dieu ". true..

[@missmaggie2620]

I also commented on Edith, because when I heard the opening, it killed me. What an honor to sing that song by "The Little Bird", who also fought to sing with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis & liver cancer. I'm American & don't speak French, but Edith Piaf & her story & journey is Epic & so is Celine.

@@nikkos34 Thank you so much!! Right?! I just started recording because I didn’t know when she was going to come on and I felt like that anticipation was part of the experience. With respect, I think many reactors are simply reacting because she is so viral right now and they aren’t really reacting to show the genuine excitement of her comeback and what this really meant for those of us looking forward to it for weeks once the rumors started she would perform. They just want the views of performing to this. Heck, one video had two reactors on screen and they didn’t know anything about her at all. The thought she was in her 70’s, dealing with cancer, and hadn’t made music since the 90’s. Totally living under a rock. Lol It was so good to see her after YEARS of having been MIA from the stage.

ironically i think she sounds better than she has done in years. The treatment is obviously working, not a hint of nasal here and all the power is back, incredible. I assumed it was playback while watching it because of the jaw wobbles etc that she does when overcompensating for that, but i don't know and if it was thats completely understandable - the fact that shes even there at all is amazing. Also the fact that this is what she sounds like now is so so encouraging. She sounds amazing. She looked Angelic - i couldnt believe it - monumental moment

I’m from Toronto. In the summer of 1990, when her first English album had been out for a while, I worked at a record store as my summer job. My manager went to see Celine Dion perform at an outdoor venue (it was Ontario Place). Anyway I recall during a shift some day afterwards he was talking about the show, and to this day I still remember him saying “but yeah, she has a wicked voice”…..”I think by the time her next album comes out, she’s gonna be a big star”. I keep thinking of that conversation every time a moment like this happens. Understatement of a generation, Dave!

Hi Gilbert. Like you I sat and watched the whole opening ceremonies just so I didn’t miss Céline. Wow! That’s all I can say. I sat in my chair tears streaming down my face. If that doesn’t cement her place at the top of the echelon of singers I don’t know what will. I guessed what song she would sing and figured she would be at the end but the way they staged it on the Eiffel Tower was more than I could imagine. Sublime. I also loved how her pianist kept smiling at her. Everyone is so proud. As a fellow Canadian I am always so proud of this classy lady. I do have a prediction. I think this performance will earn her an Emmy for best live musical performance. If it doesn’t it should. If she never sings again I am so happy for her at this accomplishment. She looked like an absolute Angel. That dress was so beautiful! I’ve been watching for your take on this since it happened. Thanks for never disappointing on your reviews.

[@tomgreaney1]

Oh dude, you made me cry all over again… and it’s taken me a week to stop…. Great reaction 😢

[@GilbertGTV]

Hahaah! Tom, that's so sweet! Thank you so much for saying that! Yeah, my eyes aren't dry yet! lol

[@claudec.8193]

Je suis si fière de sa performance !

[@jerrycarlson8968]

No matter how many times I have watched her amazing performance I still cry. 😢

[@coletteethier6988]

Merciiiiii ! 🏆🫶🙏 The best Céline It's a miracle to see her sing after being struck by this rare disease... What a joy to see her resplendent, efficient, charismatic and in better shape!!! A force of nature, a fighter, a model of determination and an immensely human and humble fiber. A life lesson for many other artists and public figures. In short, who has not been moved by such an interpretation? It's masterful. Queen Céline 👑 !!! Thank you for paying tribute to her, you know how to do it so well 🎶🙏🫶 Quebec fan

[@coletteethier6988]

Gilbert, I was excited to write to you. I see that you like other people's comments.. Do you have an unfavorable prejudice against Celine fans from Quebec?

[@MarioRangel-ct2tf]

0:02 I’ve seen several reactions to this performance and yours is, by far, the best and most heartfelt. It’s been almost three weeks and you made me feel that same emotion and joy I felt when I saw her live. I share with you, the same love for Celine. I’ve been her fan for 32 years and I was, like you, waiting and hoping for Celine to appear any minute and I sat there for like 5 hours! And when she finally came out I could not believe my eyes nor my ears. Great video! Thanks for sharing your lovely reaction!

[@adrianfredericks6064]

You echoed every fans feelings, very fitting ...love from India❤

[@GilbertGTV]

Thank you Adrian!

[@maillady9563]

I had the exact same response as you. When I first heard it was really her, I started crying. What a triumphant and emotionally moving performance. She looks like an angel to me and sings like one also. The world just knelt at her feet. Bow to the queen. She deserves a gold medal for this.

[@dalebarro2230]

If you watch closely you can see her voice is more powerful than ever she’s like the Simone biles of singing

[@user-tn6cq9hw8j]

[@JanaJaneJess]

Gilby... 😉 Céline's performance at the opening ceremony in Paris on Friday was - HONESTLY - the biggest and the most beautiful gift for my birthday which I have today ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ In my country is the same time as in France. It was almost midnight here when Céline sang on the 1st floor of Eiffel tower... ❤️❤️❤️ My mouth was opened, I had goosebumps, tears in my eyes and for the rest of the night I could not sleep... I don't know what else to say... She is THE HERO... Really... THE HERO ❤️❤️❤️ I love her so much...

[@lauriechan1426]

I am DREAMING and hoping she performs in next year's eurovision, or at least makes an appearance ❤ i was so ugly crying the whole time during this

Hello Gilly Gil all the way from South Africa, how are you my friend? I am still sobbing everytime i see snippets of this performance...and seems to me like Celine blew up the internet because she is EVERYWHERE and i love it, if anyone deserves this it is Celine Dion. GOAT As i have said in my Facebook post, we have been waiting for four years, and this is what she gave us. The best gift i have ever received and i am so happy to see that prayers and God, and her will power and strenght can do. Thank you Celine, you are the Queen of my life and the Queen of music. Thank you again Gilbert for your reaction video. Stay save, God bless and remember... "The best is yet to come" 🥂

[@GilbertGTV]

Omg!! Hey my friend!! And yes! Our Queen really has blown up the internet! Ever a full day after and people all over the world are still in awe, talking about it! She’s the very best!

[@JudyB1980]

I’m not a huge fan but this was a brilliant performance. Absolutely moving and beautiful.

[@pinkrose7428]

Thanks for sharing Gilbert! I had tears and goosebumps again watching this video. I was crying with you! Our Queen Celine gave us the shiniest apple last night. Unbelievable and Unforgettable. The lit up Eiffel Tower, her sparkling dress, the light show, and of course her powerful voice filled with emotions! And yes we thank God, He heard our prayers for Celine’s recovery. The best is yet to come!

[@rolandecerfontaine9107]

En effet, Édith Piaf doit être très fière, tout comme ses millions de fans, de cette performance et nous t'aimons tant Céline ❤❤

[@xavierxavier9622]

Ce moment, cette interprétation est légendaire !!! Cela restera dans les mémoires pour très très longtemps! Pour moi cela est encore plus marquant que MHWGO et All by my self …

[@GilbertGTV]

Je suis complètement d'accord! C'est définitivement la performance de sa carrière. Cela a attiré l’attention du monde entier. Elle est de retour sur son trône en tant que meilleure chanteuse de tous les temps !
