FIRST TIME HEARING! │ Céline Dion and Ginette Reno - Un peu plus haut

[@LouismarieBelanger]

The crowd didn't know that Ginette was there... big surprise!

[@Ben-hi5zm]

The man singing at the beginning wrote this song. His name is Jean-Pierre Ferland. A very important songwriter here in Quebec.

Bravo pour ta reaction car meme si tu ne connais pas la langue francaise tu a tres bien compris ce qui c’est passe sur cette scène durant cette chanson, Ginette est l’idole de Celine car Rene Angelil etait son mananger avant Celine. Ginette ne voulait pas faire de carriere internationnale et c’est a ce moment la qu’il a rencontrer Celine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this great, very expressive reaction. I would like all KZbinrs specializing in music to react to this music and I often write it to them in comments. But few do. It's a shame because everyone who did it is filled with emotion. So really thank you for doing it!!

[@Jespher1]

This is amazing . I’m so glad that you reacted to this. I remember the first time I saw it when it came out 11-13 years ago I was stunned. Celine and Ginette. Lost for words and Celine in top shape like gosh❤

[@LouismarieBelanger]

Ginette was the idol of Céline and of all Céline's family. The song was written by Jean-Pierre Ferland member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

[@steveray7770]

Jean-Pierre Ferland (RIP) passed away a few months ago, he was the songwriter, he was 90. Ginette Reno was the original interpreter of this song. Céline, well, it's Céline, the youngest of 14 children. They are all from Québec, Canada, and this concert was at the 450th Quebec City anniversary. This song was more about "should have instead of breaking up" -ex I should have gone higher, perhaps you would have seen me more, I should have done more for the relation or gone further for it, we could still be together today. (about second guessing the broken up relation, in fact)

Not 450y but 400years of Québec city.

[@garyhollander1]

Nice reaction man

[@ponfed]

Jean Pierre Ferland wrote the song. He is one of the best signer song writers of his generation in Quebec. He gave the song to Ginette Reno who popularized it in the 70s. And then Celine Dion covered it in the 80s, 90s.. so that's the whole connection there. Everybody knows it here. It's a classic.

[@LenStgelais]

It was the ONLY Time that they have sang together

[@MichaelReiter]

This performance hit you harder than I expected, but I'm glad it wasn't my fault. 😉 This concert celebrated the 400th anniversary of Québec and it was seen by 250,000 people. As far as I could find out in the comments on this performance, the story is as follows: Ginette Reno is a legendary singer in Québec/Canada. When Ginette Reno was young, her manager at the time, René Angelil (the late husband of Céline), offered her an international career. She turned down the offer for personal reasons. Later a demo by Céline was sent to Ginette's manager. That's how René discovered Céline. Unlike Ginette, she wanted to become an international star. The rest is history. The song was written by Jean-Pierre Ferland, who was a very popular songwriter. It was a breakup song for Jean-Pierre and it became famous after Ginette sang it and made it her own. Céline and Ginette had never performed together until this concert. It was an absolutely iconic performance. The concert took place in 2008 and the video can also be seen on Ginette's channel, but without subs and with a lower video resolution. That's why I've sent you another link.

Great reaction!! The title means "A little higher". The original version is even better (with Ginette and Jean-Pierre Ferland). Ginette has one of the most powerful female voice I've ever heard. So much emotion in it when she sings. She's a national treasure here in Quebec. Also, the translation was slightly messed up in a few places 😁.

[@LouismarieBelanger]

Céline was crying because of a very high emotional level.

[@freddiegillespie_05]

I'm sure someone else will have explained. But Jean-Pierre Ferland (the man at the beginning) wrote the song and, in the 1970s, it became Ginette Reno's song. It's hugely significant in Quebec history. Ginette was Celine Dion's idol when she was a little girl, but they were never going to sing together because (in part) Rene Angelil (Celine's husband and manager) had been Ginette's manager before and it ended badly between them. Imagine being Celine Dion, who can do everything and have everything she wants, except sing with the woman who made her want to sing. And then this happened.

[@LouismarieBelanger]

They had the same manager. Both are Canadians from Province of Québec and Céline wasn't speaking a word of english a the beginning of her career.

[@SCoulombe]

Hope you know the story behind all this

[@nisaly6031]

React to Celine singing with Zachary Richard! It’s just as good ❤

You mean all the english records...
