Emotional Superfan Reviews New Céline Dion Documentary: I Am Céline Dion (Honest Reaction)

[@GilbertGTV]

What did you all think of the documentary? ❤ Edit: “A New Day Has Come” plays during the ‘swirling’ moment in the beginning where the camera is spinning and “Who I Am” by Wyn Starks also should have been on the soundtrack along with Maria Callas! 🫶🏽

[@TheVocalTrinity]

it absolutely crushed my heart. we as fans we didn't had any idea on what's happening with Celine and we finally had an answer. as a fan it really pisses me off when i see on Facebook or Instagram or somewhere that she died, it was because of the vaccine, and more.. it really makes me mad. I'm just so glad that we got a chance to see her life and we got to see how difficult it is to have SPS. However, after watching it, it made me realize that she is now starting again and she is happy and ready for a comeback. we just love Celine! ... and to add i was also sad about bear passing :(

[@charlesmckenna712]

Thank you Gilbert I can't comment yet I have not seen it ? I think you manage that very well Thank you again Regards Charles

[@pennymunt112]

Omg Gilbert I saw it this morning and didn’t realise how much she had been going through part of it mirrored my life I don’t have sps but something else and it was very similar to me but can’t give it away for those who have not seen it yet but that hit me hard but it was done tastefully though ❤

[@Angel-kf4sg]

I was heartbroken at that end part 😢 I wasn’t ready for it. But I love her even more now if that’s possible

[@melvinjohncuison4905]

Very moving. As a fan I enjoyed all the rare behind the scenes and delighted seeing rare footages of her throughout her career and shocked with how the illness can take so much from the person who has it. Our tree is strong. And we support her all the way ❤️

[@Nbraskelle]

I was so moved by this documentary. And thank you for putting your review out there - I'm the only one I know who has watched it and you've made me feel less alone in my heartache. Peace and love to you! (Also, I've gone back to watch Celine Through the Eyes of the World, and would recommend watching it with today's knowledge -- makes it a very different experience to know that she was already fighting through.)

[@MagdaReyman]

She is so pure, we literally don’t deserve her.

[@bakbakhemu]

The insane part was she recorded so much while suffering and delivered perfection while thinking it wasn't great. Only Celine can do so good in such tough times with her instrument.

[@lizatsurkan4323]

I know right! A lot of her vocals 2017 -20 (minus 2019) were great!

[@speeddrawingamateur688]

Man... The Gift is a wonderfull song and just to think she recorded that song, The Gift, during this situation is out of this planet cause that song is great!

[@kiwi57ie]

That ending song, was sung on AGT in 2022, written by wyn starks, about losing his twin brother. Wyn can’t believe how much celine loved that song

Shes the most pure beautiful woman ive ever seen. I cried like a baby watching it.

[@yau_kinde]

Honestly , for me it was immensely heartbreaking seeing an icon going thru all stages of spams, absolutely raw and unfiltered, I’ve no words, it takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, speechless. I like the fact that it wasn’t a biopic but a documentary well filmed showcasing all of her experiences as a singer, mother and part of her family background, it leaves room for hope and more to see from Celine Dion. The world needs you!

[@tammyrules2000]

Me too, just so pitiful and demoralizing for such a gentle soul.

[@maiko2958]

That's right! Our diva Ms.Celine needed for so many many people in the worldwide........‼️ ...........Sinerely................. By Maiko From Japan🇯🇵

[@kiwi57ie]

I have wondered about her siblings, they possibly could have all made something in the musical world, but their mom wasn’t in a position to single out any of the older siblings, because there were younger kids that needed attention. I think that coming last, celine had an extra opportunity to become more well known, than her siblings. They also didn’t want to make it professionally by using the name of Dion. Michel was part of a group called "Le Show“, but he didn’t use his name, he sang as Michel St. Clair, so there was no chance that the group were successful based on the Dion name. If you haven’t seen it, you should go look at the clip on KZbin , that was when in 2008, that all the siblings sang together.

[@ivano8150]

It was so Heartbreaking and Left me in tears for hour.. it was beautifully made Documentary yet with Powerful Message to The Fans. Now We know that Celine never leave Us , She's always here with Us while againts Her Battle. She's Continued giving Her Whole Life to The Fans. What a Heartful Journey full with Love. We Love You Endlessly ,Celine. We're not Here for The Apples, but We're Here for The Tree. 🤍😢🙏

I’ve just finished watching it 😢 that part was tough to watch, to see someone you care and loved in that crises 😔😢 she doesn’t deserve this, I love her so much

[@ashleighpiccinino1849]

This is another reason why the song love again, is so important. “You don’t have to find the answers, just keep trying. The sun will rise again, the storms subside again, “and in place of “you will love again, “replace it with “ Will sing again. “The show must go on, but if it can’t, lay down your instrument and or use it in another way, such as vocal coaching for other up-and-coming singers. I have asked others who like Céline Dion as well to watch this documentary. Thank you for showing the video. 54:19

Always praying for your health 😭🙏 We need the Apple tree 😭❤️

[@cjpkirk6138]

Ok. I just watched the documentary twice. Here are my thoughts. Celine Dion has been given, by the powers that be, a one in a Billion voice. She has handled this wonderful gift with grace, humility, class and beauty. Now she has been given a one in a million disease,by the powers that be. As this movie shows she is never given anything that she doesnt find a way to help others. Her opening up this way will do nothing but good for people that have the same or similar challenges. Everyone needs to remember that she did not have to open up this way. I now hope that whatever she does will be for her own wellness and that of her family. If she never sings on a stage again she should know that she has left us with so many mind blowing performances that there will never be another like her. Be well Celine❤

[@Carolina-uf2ip]

Besides being a fellow Canadian I’ve always loved her. Her joking, goofy, quirky and herself are just ordinary. Many celebrities would never allow to be filmed without makeup and morning hair. Most what she is though her kindness

[@simondesbiens2463]

AsQuébécois number one fan of Céline, I can assure you that all her brothers and sister love her with all their heart. Don’t forget that she’s the baby of the family and she have six years difference with the youngest the twins, Paul, and Pauline her holders siblings well already dad and mom when she was like one and also she helped them. She gave them jobs. None only with her tour and things, but she buy a restaurant chain just for a family so they have a good job and some of her sisters sing with her at the beginning of a carrier, but they choose to be moms, so they’re very proud of their little sister and I think she have done so much more they ever wish to do

[@galimatias]

Great review! I really liked everything you said :) This documentary is amazing. Celine is an absolute badass for being so open about the fact that even someone as disciplined & “clean” as her ended up getting addicted to hardcore medication like so many greats before her (MJ, Prince, Houston, Britney, Judy Garland etc.) - it really shows that becoming a global superstar truly comes with an incredible pressure that’s almost impossible to cope with, without drugs/medication. As you said it’s the first time ever that we hear her talking so precisely about the way her voice works and her different singing techniques - and also about how aware she is of how special her talent and capabilities are/were. A side of Celine we’ve never seen before. For me who's been following her closely for decades, everything makes sense now, since her “Taking chances” tour I kept wondering why she was contracting her throat so much when she’d be singing live, I could tell she was putting a lot of effort and her sound (although still very good) seemed unnecessarily harsh, and i kept thinking “why isn’t she just relaxing her throat more? It would be so much easier”, she was literally battling her condition every second during every performance, using more and more physical strength to get the notes out, this is insane that she’s had to physically push through her symptoms like that for so long. 💔 I was also quite surprised about the way she could express her thought so simply and eloquently and say smart things with sentences that made complete sense in the documentary. This is not the Celine we see in interviews, who often struggles to finish her sentences intelligibly or will make points using weird overblown comparisons, or will even at times make very little sense at all. She’s actually a very smart lady - like, very very smart! Who knew! 😅 One last thing that’s really really good about the documentary and that’s rarely been presented so accurately is how once you go passed her mega famous power ballads + more pop-ish hits, her music catalogue is also filled with proper jazzy, bluesy, rock & folk music, all the French deep cuts that we hear, her exploration of dancehall too…. Something so quintessentially French Canadian, and even “Creole” North American, about her musical tastes and artistry there. Creatively this is what truly sets Celine apart from all the other great female vocalists that are in her league, so unique to her. Musically, this is closer to the real Celine! Well done to Irene Taylor for really emphasizing this!

[@kiwi57ie]

@@galimatias hang on though…all the other artists were using recreational drugs, illegal drugs.

[@galimatias]

@@kiwi57ie not really, it was/is almost always medication prescribed by doctors... Celine stands out because she's never been a party girl, but when it comes to substance usage as such I see zero difference with other artists, she says it herself, she's been prescribed dangerous amounts of drugs, she got to a point where when she wanted to stop she couldn't because she literally was physically addicted and had to gradually come off of them, she mentioned valium because it is probably the most socially acceptable hardcore medication to discuss without looking like a junkie, but she also said in many interviews that there was a lot of other stuff she was (and potentially is still) using - I'm pretty sure that this includes strong pain killers like opioids, possibly amphetamines, etc. It's interesting for me because I remember when she got so mad during that 2012 interview about Whitney Houston's death, when she said the industry is dangerous, artists have to take pills to go to bed, pills to wake up, pills to perform, I'm realizing now that she was already going through it herself and a lot of that anger was probably related to her own fear of what could eventually happen to herself... :(

You are absolutely right. I really try not to use the word triggering but it really did trigger me. She looked like she was dying and it brought me back to when my grandmother was dying from dementia and she was trapped in her body - literal torture. I had the biggest break down watching this scene. I just wanted to hug her and tell her it’s going to be ok. And for the love of God someone needed to wipe her tears and just comfort her. So hard to watch. I appreciate that i wasn’t alone in my breakdown. 😢

Loved the documentary and as a lifetime fan who loves all her songs (including the rarities), I appreciated seeing the rare footage of her early performances and home videos. Her condition is heartbreaking and the footage was raw, but as fans we can hope that Celine copes with her condition with the immense courage and grace as she always has in her life. ❤

[@TheVocalTrinity]

I was waiting for this! thank you, Gilbert!

[@lindamaloney1651]

Her voice is just....PERFECTION!

[@Ladybutterfly874]

I must say, seeing her "episode" was painful. I know about SPS in a medical terminology sense, so i knew what to expect. With that being said, seeing her struggle with "Love Again" was harder to watch. Her heartbreak with her voice is so sad. Just soul wrenching. I pray for her all the time, and will continue to do so. But what about that song she was singing near the end after her "episode"?? I dont know that song but there is one thing i did know. That open chest belt was still amazing to hear. As always, thank you for your dedication in bringing all this information to us Celine brothers and sisters. Because we're more than her fans. We're her family.

[@fredericlinden]

How can one try to sing without having sung in years, and not having warmed-up her voice, and even trying while being in such physical condition ???? And not fully grounded to the floor ? What could she expect? Of course, one is bound to failure.

[@nadlaem2617]

I watched the film yesterday evening and I thought I was prepared by all the interviews and snippets that have already been shared upfront... Well... I was not! I was a complete mess afterwards. I think the film gave a great insight of how impactful this disease is - especially for her. All she knew was singing and I had the feeling that she somehow lost her identity because of SPS - who am I if I can't sing anymore. That was really heartbreaking. I would have loved hearing from her - when she finally received her diagnose - how she felt in this special moment and what it meant for her, how did she built the team that is helping her now? How did it change the daily routine? If I remember correctly she was diagnosed during this filming project. But apart from that I really appreciate her openness of what it looks like to live with SPS and how she's trying to cope and to move forward. She's such a wonderful human being and as much as I love hearing her sing, I always find it very insprational hearing her talk!

[@kalnfornia]

WOW...Brought me to tears!!! I have peripheral neuropathy and feel her pain and can totally identify with her struggle, but it seems far more extreme for her..at times and her frustration at her magnificent voice and performance being strongly affected is palpable!!! I also must hold on to objects because of balance and weakness issues. Her vulnerability, bravery courage, strength and refusal to give up is remarkable!!! We, your fans, are here for you every step of the way for life...we love and adore you and will be here waiting and praying for you whether you're ready or not because it's YOU we want, not just your voice...we are not going anywhere EVER.

I liked your video talking about Celine’s documentary. I have watched I Am Celine Dion more times than I care to admit. Her crisis was very difficult to watch. I wish it hadn’t been so close to the end because it just leaves a sad feeling and like she won’t be able to sing again. I am so happy to hear she is putting a show together. I hope this all works out in her favor. You were very thorough in describing parts of the documentary. You did an excellent job. I would give it a 9 because it leaves us with the feeling she was full of false hope. But interviews with Hoda and a few other people it looks like she’s coming back to us.

[@suzannereiter3600]

I was shocked and saddened; if she can sing again, like she wants to, I think it will be a miracle. She needs lots of prayers. I pray she can accomplish that; she, IMO, is the best female singer of all time.

[@fredericlinden]

She might be able to sing, but sing different songs. And I am afraid she will have to fully realize that because she has not yet. Surprisingly. And sing in meticulously controlled environment, and for short period of time. (Doesn't she try to sing in the documentary without having sung in years and not having warmed-up her voice ? Sorry but only the dumbest singers do that... What can you expect?). And sing only when the treatments allow total control of the illness, because too many normal situations can trigger a crisis or pain. This said, since the filming of this documentary, she has gotten better. Her mission at this point is NOT to go back to performing. Finding a cure for her and others is going to be a full-time job.

[@sarahlovejoy6234]

I literally lost it watching that when she spasmed like that. It scared me to pieces. I don't think I will ever get the image of Celine spasming out of my head. I honestly thought she was going to die. I was terrified because I love her like family.

It was difficult to watch by the end of it, obviously... I love singing. And when I was a kid I really wanted to be a singer. I've never got to do it professionally. When I was a teen, I was saying I wish I had the voice of Celine Dion. Among all other great voices, if I got to choose, I'd definitely want to have Celine's voice. I feel just too sad, too bad seeing that she "kind of" lost it to this awful illness. But I believe in her. She'll rock on the stage again one day. Her sick voice is a hundred times better than my healthy one. :)) That song she's trying over and over again in the documentary is actually a quite difficult song. And she's amazing even when she thinks it's not even close to what she's expecting from herself. I understand. She's obviously, naturally comparing it with her younger, healthier version. Well, life is rarely ever fair to anyone. I just can't bear seeing her cry, seeing her in physical and emotional pain. I don't want her to cry. I don't want her to question and doubt who she is now with this illness, without her flawless performance. I would want her to know, that everyone already knows who she is, what she's capable of, we know her magic, her lovely energy, and a stupid illness can't ever possibly erase any of it. It's just simply not possible.

[@broadwaymike92]

OK just finished watching it. I'm a mess!!! Shaken up at the beginning and the end!!! Breaks my heart of what she's gone through especially something autoimmune. Sooooo scary. In 2016. I went through a really scary autoimmune virus where I got mysteriously paralyzed waste down. Really scary for me not being able to walk, fun, or be active. Grueling and intense but I made a miracle speedy recovery. I am standing again on my own 2 feet!! That time of my mysterious paralyzation was crazy.... I initially was supposed to attend Celine's free NYC concert she gave on The Today Show. I was in the hospital going through all the testings. Sadly, I couldn't go. I did see Celine prior at Madison Square Garden on her Taking Chances Tour and I did eventually get to see her again a few years later on the Courage Tour in Brooklyn....her last major NY concert before COVID & what was revealed. Pray for Celine!!! So humble, passionate, dedicated, and cares for what she wants & for everyone around her.

[@gunjanchadha795]

I learn singing myself and for her singing is like breathing. Her tears, her pain is just too much to watch. Celine is the definition of strength. There were so many things that touched me about the documentary specifically in the beginning when she says this is not how she wants people to hear her, then when in the end even after her episode, she just nods her head when the therapist says this is hard, and just her nod showed that she is willing to go through such episodes just to get her voice back, and in the end she says even if I can't walk, I will crawl. I'm very sure that the universe will do her good as she is such a fighter.

[@megandombowsky9762]

Pour tu ma imes encore is sung in English during her initial recording her album falling into you. There’s a very short clip of her singing it in the documentary.

[@jimmcconnell7328]

I watched her documentary on Prime and it was nicely done. I loved her sense of humour in the film. I wasn’t prepared to see how this illness affects her body and how much pain she was in during an episode. We Canadians are very proud of our Celine and it’s sad to see how much of her voice she has lost. She doesn’t sound the same when singing. After she tried to sing in full range and failed she went into major spasms. I think the stress got to her. I think that Celine could think of promoting up and coming new talent since she has so much experience and it might help her get over the grief of losing her singing career. I will keep her in my prayers.

[@theresal7255]

If she was used to taking 90 mg of valium a day, she probably got addicted to benzodiazepines. SPS was surely not the only battle she has been facing in the last years. Also, the way her therapist(?) acts during her crisis by staying super focused and calm, shows me that there must have happened many episodes like this before. He knew exactly how to handle the situation.

[@fredericlinden]

Indeed, many episodes... And suddenly, no warnings.

[@razrv3lc]

She pretty much alludes to addiction in the interview she did with Hoda. She said she took more and more over time and then by the time she was taking so much that it could be lethal despite it barely doing anything, she started weaning herself off taking it with the help of doctors because it wasn’t safe to just quit cold turkey. Many drugs’ withdrawals can kill you if you just stop taking them cold turkey. She was DEFINITELY addicted for sure.

[@fredericlinden]

@@razrv3lc You understand that she was taking a prescription. She was not an addict but definitely had to take something to try to control the condition she was suffering and that, tragically, nobody could figure out what it was. And for which there is no cure... yet. But who knows what the next 2-3 years will bring...

[@ashleighpiccinino1849]

Like I said earlier, she still sounds amazing even when she was in that much pain. I cried along with her. So if you’ve watched it with that audio description, Gilbert, watch it with audio narration of the scenes where there is only action. Just close your eyes, And turn on the accessibility features of your Amazon device so that audio description… Narration of the action scenes by humans and or TTS can take place. Claudia, as the describer, did very well with her work. However, if she is a Céline Dion lover, I bet she had to stop Several times and clear her mind and eyes. 51:46

She had to wean herself off it with the help of doctors because it’s also not safe to go from taking that much to not taking any at all.

This is definitely a grap the tissue’s emotional watch!

[@gavinjohnson7522]

I feel slightly traumatised after watching especially the spasm😢cried my eyes out. I really wanted it to end on a more positive, happy note

[@kimberlylewis7789]

I had to get up a couple times for Kleenex because I kept crying so much. The documentary was very good but also a bit hard to watch all that she's been going through with SPS. I truly believe Celine WILL sing on stage again!!!!

Dieu te donne la guérison ma star préférée Céline Dion ❤

[@MatthiasHamilton]

the part where she was having the episode was alarming and made me cry for her as well. i think she wanted people to see it because she wanted the world to see that its a real thing and what she has to endure and i agree there was that shot where her face was blood red and frozen and she looked like she had died..... very scary and mortifying... im sure its not only physically hard for her but psychologically as well because she contracted a disease that affects one in a million people And it directly attacked the one thing that is her world... Her Voice! That must be hard for her to reconcile between herself and god!

[@mpomerlo]

Super nice resume, thanks Merci

[@dalindav]

I cried during this whole documentary. It’s hard to watch how much she is suffering. Praying that Celine can get the symptoms under control and that she can once again do the thing she loves to do in life.. love you Celine.. God bless you 🙏🩵

The songwriter's name is Wyn Sparks. It's called All I am.

[@speeddrawingamateur688]

Man... The Gift is a wonderfull song and just to think she recorded that song, The Gift, during this situation is out of this planet cause that song is great!

[@thomasfrancois9616]

i just watched the film and i was in tears seeing her in this situation. I hope that its getting better for her. And i will always be a Fan, no matter what happens to her voice and what music she maybe will give us some times.

[@newtongirl2430]

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Céline Dion. I can truly empathize with her as I have been living over 50 years with a digestive autoimmune disorder. I have had 2 surgeries and I am on lifetime medication. There are adjustments that I have had to make in my life. On the other hand, there are so many millions of people suffering every day in silence with diseases and with terminal diseases. We don't see them, they don't have a voice. But she has created a foundation to spread awareness about her disease and hopefully, one day find a cure. And to help the other people not feel so alone.

[@SusanKellogg-t1e]

I was surprised that we didn’t see RC her oldest son in the doc.

[@DanielleGagnon-p8v]

RC is having is own place. He is not living with Céline. He is a grown man today.

[@SusanKellogg-t1e]

@@DanielleGagnon-p8v That is true.

[@marvellain8149]

this was really emotional and difficult to watch. To see her suffer and probably the most difficult part is letting the whole world see this, must've been really a hard decision for her to make. p.s that last song she sung at the end is one of my favourites. The backstory of the artist who wrote and sung the song Wyn Starks is really emotional. He sung this original on America's Got Talent back in 2021 and instantly became my favorite song, and to see Celine singing it made it even more special for me. Much aroha Celine xoxo from New Zealand

[@love4musicuk]

Ive just finished watching the documentary. It was heart breaking. The crisis moment hit me hard. It reminded me alot of the time i saw my brother die. I really hope she kicks SPS's ass. She's amazing!

[@krisztinahunyadi122]

It is a great movie, that says despite her struggles she follows her dreams, cause she wants to continue her passion that is singing. That’s why she is my only inspiration.

[@judir9196]

I wondered where her family was during this movie? She seems so alone! ❤

[@CDCPH582]

I also like that quote about not seeing anything during her travels. It's actually an old quote of hers that she's already said as early as her 1999 Oprah interview to promote ATW.

[@lindamaloney1651]

In the interview with Hoda she talked about being an apple tree and giving her fans "shiny apples"...that really got to me...and not being able to give us those apples ..oh i cried and cried...

[@NJ-gl9zn]

A New Day has Come is in there… only in part that made you dizzy. After the first episode.

[@ashleighpiccinino1849]

It did truly feel like I was there, and of course, why didn’t bear try to help? Was she dead around that time? Shirley, she would’ve barked or something to let everyone know… “Hey, mom’s in trouble… “I know, Miss Taylor was stunned by the spasm as well, so I guess the nasal drops were the antispasmodic drug, correct? This chapter in Sicilian‘s life can be set up by the song love again, but instead of the word love, replace it with sing. The storm is now SPS, and hopefully, it will subside one day. I like how she dipped into country a little bit, and I think she could make it there… Truly, I do. It’s OK if she has to start completely… She can try being a vocal coach for other upcoming singers. That’s what I put on her ex account. I really wish there was something else I could do, other than what I have… Giving her a vocal lift to try to get her voice back. That was also on her ex account. Even when she sounds all raspy, she still sounds amazing.I wonder, was she born with SPS? I’m pretty sure you can’t catch it from anybody, correct? 3:00

[@SusanScrapPassion]

No, it is an autoimmune disease as many others. You cannot catch it. The body turns on itself and attacks your own body.

[@radosawtomaszsum8182]

One more thing about the soundtrack...there's "River deep, mountain high", "J'irai où tu iras" qmd "Zora sourit", but how come...seriously how come(?!), "Courage" is not a part of it? 🤷‍♂️

[@DanielleGagnon-p8v]

What I have a very hard time to understand is Why René did not stopped the tour, the Vegas shows, etc… I’m certain he was aware of Celine’s struggles. Maybe she didn’t want to stop, who knows? Very sad 😞

The greatest irony is that Maria was also struck with a rare autoimmune disorder called Dermatomyositis! The best thing is that the world of Medicine has come a long ways since Callas battled her own illness 50 plus years ago!!! I was doing so...well then when I saw Celine have her "crisis" at the end it BROKE ME!!!

[@IgoZoom1]

Watching this gutted me, but it me love her even more (if that's possible). Thanks for your excellent breakdown and deep dive from your POV. It was very insightful and thought-provoking The nasal spray that was administered during "The Crisis" was intranasal Valium. It's used to treat certain seizure and spasm disorders. It works faster and it's easier to administer during a medical event than the oral verison.

[@RofiGonewai]

She have to come to Fiji with her family to relax its a best place to her to visit
