CELINE DION - Jean Pierre Ferland & Ginette Runo Un Peu Plus Haut (REACTION)

[@heartman2013]

I watch this when I want to cry.

[@Musika1220]

Those 3 artists are legends here in Quebec. Jean-Pierre is a singer/songwriter. Ginette is as talented as Céline. Ginette is Céline's first musical idol. René managed Ginette's career before Céline. René wanted to bring her career to international status but she declined. So you get the feeling of that song : the english translation of this title song would be "A little bit higher, a little bit further".

[@Songs-lr4wt]

Thank you for explaining that

[@Tonimehc]

@@Songs-lr4wt And Celine will never be Ginette, and Vice-versa.. Celine has the show bizz, Ginette has these emotions that gets through you..

Yes. On the Plains of Abraham. The 400th anniversary of Quebec.Their hearts are all so full. A magical night. CELINE!

[@juliedurocher2554]

The guy who sings at the beginning of the song is the songwriter. He wrote the song for Ginette Reno, the older lady who made it a hit.

Tellement de TALENT

[@lenstgelais7652]

For your information Ginette Reno was 70 years old in that video and still is the idol of Celine and it was the first time that they sang together that’s why she was crying 😭 and was in emotion in front of her idol 250 000 thousand people were there including me it was in Québec city in her own province were Celine was born and raised imagine the voice of Ginette Reno at 30 years old it was a gigantic voice but still to this day his still singing and has just released and album Celine has always looked up to her as a singing she said that it was a dream of coming true to sing with the legend that is Ginette Reno and bye the way a couple years ago Ginette has sang a duet with Lionel Ritchie and it was epic to even Lionel Ritchie was totally impressed bye the voice of Ginette Reno I hope that those information was informative for you very good reaction my friend 😉👍👍👍🇲🇶

I'm glad this was outside or these two ladies would have blown every single window out of the building...that was just an unbelievable amount of power! How many years is she outside her prime is she and Celine still has enough power to light a city! 👏👏👏

[@gonzaloponte2011]

Céline’s resonance along with Whitney’s one are unmatchable. There are lots of great singers with great mixed belts, but these two ladies could hit real chest, resonated, raw and explosive belts that sounded like nobody’s.

[@dededejereme2284]

Yes totally aggry....dion...and houston..... real explosive chest voice..... very clear..with vibrato.... lara fabian...nono.... maybe carrey but no very powerfull

[@odettefillon2088]

at the start we can hear the explosive and raw power like withney houston of celine dion's chest voice ... this clear powerful piercing and resonant in the highs; she has a super high natural voice, that for me is a real chest chest power ....... up to D5 .... the note without problem ... I love this real powerful chest voice

[@danielfontaine6977]

Hello from Montreal! Just for your information, so, Mr. Jean-Pierre Ferland is a singer with not that much voice range but a nice voice a "poetic" voice, what we call here in french "un chansonnier"(dont know if there is a equivalent in english), but he his mostly a wonderful composer, what they sang that night was a song that he composed many decades ago for Ginette Reno, it was at a special event on Mount-Royal! I was there !!! Also, many decades ago Ginette Reno had as a manager René Angelil who prepared for her a international career planification, but she said no, to remain here in Québec .... So many years after when René Angélil first heard at that time a very young Céline Dion... "the international career planification" was already made !!! So that night I guess what you felt was also the emotions of that duo they had, for Céline had made it international .... Ginette Reno had a career in France.... but is here "our signer" mostly singing in french..... her last album was recently platinum here! I hope my english writing is not to difficult to understand, for I'm french speaking ... Have a great day! :-)

[@Songs-lr4wt]

Thank you for explaining

[@oyvey764]

YEEEEEES! OK I am so happy you saw this....!!!!!!!!! This was a magical musical moment for many in Quebec. You are now seeing Céline roots! This was a concert to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city of QUEBEC. Céline was the head liner and shared the stage with many famous Québecois musicians... letting them sing some of their most memorable hits and/or joining them. Famously, Céline accommodates and sings in the key that is best for the artist ( notice the key change before Ginette started to sing). If Céline is the "Queen" of music and Ginette is the "Queen Mum". If you do not know the story, René Angelil was Ginette's manager and she FIRED him as she did not love the pressure of an International career ( there is likely more to this but trying to keep it short)... René had no artist when he received the tape of Céline singing "Ce n'était qu'un rêve" and decided to take a chance on this young talented singer. Had Ginette not fired René, the Céline we know today might not have risen to where she is... In any case, this was a monumental moment when they sang together, Céline VERY aware that HER career was what it was as she stepped into a plan René had for a previous artist... it was truly musical MAGIC. The cherry at the end of a 2hour concert... Céline singing a duo with Queen Mum!!!!

[@annettemartin766]

Thank you for your explaination. I never knew this. Just shows how grateful and humble she is to Ginette💗

[@oyvey764]

You are so welcome... Céline knows that her personal and professional destiny was "enabled" by Ginette decision... She is always gracious and grateful. But what an AMZING moment when these 2 appeared together!!! The audience did not know and, as you can hear, went CRAZY :-)

[@JB-jx3xs]

Celine Dion, husband Rene was Ginette manager before he was celines...their is history..here in the making...its an an emotional song..very meaningful for them..it was written by Jean-Pierre Ferland the other singer at the beginning, that sang...many many thanks for sharing this beatiful coming together..

[@annettemartin766]

Thank you J B for explaining this video.

[@patrickponton2587]

Remember it like it was yesterday I was in the front row and when Ginette Reno hit the stage you could really feel the emotion. I cried like a baby cause yes Ginette is a legend

[@meandyou917]

This is the best video ever!!!! This is respect for a great artist by a great artist. I love this song...I drive my daughter crazy with it...lol. Ms Reno is amazing!!!!

[@meandyou917]

Celine is like...I get to sing with her?!!! Mad respect!!!!

[@oceans80]

Before Celine, Ginette Reno was probably the best-known French Canadian singer to English Canadians. Everybody liked her.

[@johnnytsunami620]

That was like an emotional rollercoaster ride! Such beautiful singing! Thank you!!!

[@patbrat158]

Ginette Reno is our first Céline. Do some Google search to see that a small french province call Quebec can provide so much talent...

[@reddragonready]

Yet another Epic Celine moment I just discovered. I don't think there is another singer who produced so many special live performances in one career

[@jcfan68]

You are right about Ginette Reno, she is a legend here in Québec. She was 62 in this video and Jean-Pierre Ferland was 74. You should react to "Ginette Reno - Un peu plus haut, un peu plus loin (1975), she was 29 and only considered a pop singer at the time but that performance blew everyone away and made her a legend. If you love her emotion in the video with Céline, you should definitely check the video from 1975, she did not "act" the song, she WAS the song!!! There's another video : "La Voix 6 - Ginette Reno en prestation à la finale", that was made in 2018, she's 72 and is still incredible.

[@mayra306]

oh por dios es bello!! momento épico. piel de gallina !! Céline es increíble!!

[@annettemartin766]

So much is not known about this beautiful lady.

[@karinelac3]

I have not a good English, but I will try to explain a bit this video. Ginette Reno had René Angelil has a manager. He wanted to make an international star with her, but she quit him for another man and for her family. When she saw after that Celine was an international star, she regrets her decision. There were not close... But Ginette accepted to sing with Celine and it was like: ok, I love you, it's not your fault, you didn't take my place, you take the place that was there because of my choice. Ginette Reno is, after Céline maybe, the best singer in Québec. She deserved an international carreer. I think it's the first time that she sing with Celine. And Celine ask that Ginette come to stage bye the middle, because she deserved it. They sing the beautiful song of Jean-Pierre Ferland, another excellent artist from Québec. Excuse my English!

[@MsMarienoire]

Hey ! Arrête de t'excuser! Ton anglais est vraiment très correcte!!

[@arianeprats793]

Thanks for your feelings I’m French but even that I discovered this video very resently....I m Still on the transe since !

Thanks you for your feedback...because you said your self you don’t even have to understand one word...you have a super good talent and hard 🦋🦋

[@francois5630]

The guy Jean Pierre wrote the song for Ginette Reno, this was a show of Celine with the greatest artists of Province of Quebec. Also all of siblings of Celine was on the stage at the end

[@SCoulombe]

Jean Pierre did wrote the song for Ginette Reno... long time ago... !! Ginette Reno.. had René Angelil as a manager before he work with Céline.. So thats very emotional for Céline because she always thought that Ginette could have an international carreer.. just like her.. !! first time they sang togetter..

thank you for this reaction! For your information: this was the ending of the special concert, which took place in Quebec City on august 22. 2008, to celebrate Quebec City´s 400th birthday. Celine and other famous singers of the province of Quebec performed there on the plaines of Abraham, in front of 250.000 people. It was also Celine´s biggest amount of people she were about to sing for at a concert yet.

[@alexandrapaquette1982]

Hey I really like the reactions you make to the various videos ... especially those of Céline. I particularly liked your review of this Celine's video with Ginette Reno and Jean-Pierre Ferland (A little higher). I write to you simply for the pleasure of explaining the context of this video. It was shot live from a cult site in Quebec City (the Plains of Abraham) on the occasion of the city's four-hundredth anniversary. The man who sings with her at the beginning (Jean-Pierre Ferland) is a Quebec songwriter. He has often collaborated with Celine and has written several French songs, for her. The woman who sings with Céline (Ginette Reno) is a singer beloved by Quebecers. René Angélil has already wanted to launch her career internationally but the woman preferred to stay with his family. She has won many prestigious awards in the French-speaking world. The emotion of the video you watched can be explained in part by the place where the festival takes place (The Plains of Abraham, wich is an important historic site in Quebec), the fact that Celine Dion is present to mark the event. Also, the text of the song makes the moment memorable. lyrics: A little higher, a little further A little higher, a little further I want to go a little further I want to see how it is up there Keep my arm, hold my hand A little higher, a little further I want to go even further Leave my arm but hold my hand I will not go further than it is necessary Still a step, still a jump A storm and a brook Beware, beware, I released your hand Wait for me down there, I will return Still a step, a small step Still a jump and I am there Up there if I do not fall Not, I am there, I do not fall It is beautiful, it is beautiful If you saw the world at the bottom, over there It is beautiful, it is beautiful The sea smaller than oneself But you do not see me A little further, a little more lonely I do not want to be far all alone How to be beautiful When we are high, how we are beautiful A little higher, a little further I can not hold your hand anymore Tell me how I could go up How to go down without A little further, a little more strong Still a jump, still on try I would like to hold you my arms I am too high, you are too low Still a step, a small step You are too far, I love you Good-bye, good-bye, I will return If I go down again without falling It is beautiful, it is beautiful If you saw the world at the bottom over there It is beautiful, it is beautiful The sea smaller than oneself But you do not see it A little higher, a little further I will go even further Perhaps but a little higher I will find other ways

[@LouieBrickles]

@JustTheVoice - The song tells about he lost a special someone (Jean Pierre Ferland, the songwriter). He wanted to reach and be connected that special someone... through his song. It was later on interpreted by the great Ginette Reno.

The reason why it was so emotional for Celine is because Reno was managed by Celine's husband way before he met Celine...in a way, Celine's career happened because of Reno ending her business relation with Rene, elading later to be Celine's manager
