Graeme O'Neil takes a look at the celeb reaction to the documentary "I Am Celine Dion", including from Derek Hough, Hoda Kotb, Natasha Bedingfield, Selma Blair, Jann Arden, Carson Daly, Jully Black, and Wyn Starks.
I too, have SPS. Dr. Amanda Piquet is also my Neuro Immunologist. This documentary meant the world to me. I finally saw someone else fighting the battles I fight every day, and it touched me in a way, I can’t explain. The disease tries to take us over, but we are NOT going to let it! Celine … you are my shero, and I applaud your bravery. Thank you for donating to UCH in order to establish a foundation for research. All of us fighting this battle, must stand together. You are in my prayers daily. ❤️🙏🏽
I cannot imagine having such an awful and rare disorder. As awful as it is for anyone to go through it, I can imagine it is healing for your mental health to have it become more known and for people to be able to see what you've had to go through. All the best for you and your health.
@@Jordan-qu8lx Thank you, my friend. It is a nightmare some days, and yes … just being able to see another person who goes through the same symptoms, it helped me. Celine was so brave to do this documentary, and I appreciate her. Having someone “famous” in the fight, helps in so many ways. She gave money for a research foundation, and that is a great blessing! Thank you, Jordan for your comment. Sometimes ppl overlook just how hard it is to live with such a rare disease. I appreciate you too.
This really touched me. It is my sincere hope, that there shall be suitable treatments, for you both, to remain strong and healthy, for the blessed days you have on Earth. Thank you.
She’s been our Canadian Queen for decades. One of the most truly humble, genuine people. She’s quirky, goofy and genuine. We have several stars, all fantastic and talented, but Celine still is our best
The thing with Celine Dion is that she is a grounded and lovely person in spite of her fame and money. She has a great sense of humour which seems rare among pop divas. It is so hard to see her struggles with this disease. This movie does a great service to everyone trying cope with a chronic illness ❤
Hi girlbert what happened to i follow you on channel, what happened to that 2:21 video were you going to stream speaking Celine's fans, I didn't see it here on RU-vid.
@@nomfundisokafwanka1870 hi friend. I don’t know what happened… It seems that my comment was removed. But we had a wonderful live stream, but because of technical issues, it was not recorded so I could not create a RU-vid video for it. There will be more in the future! Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it. 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Wasn’t it beautiful??? I kept seeing her trying to get it “right” and perfect. I kept hearing Lauren Hill saying a voice is still a voice. She spoke about her own issues with her voice on her album Unplugged.
I don't think I could stop crying through the entire documentary. She is a pillar of strength and deterination... to learn she has suffered with this disease for 17 years and she never once made mention of it or complained or made excuses for cancelled shows other than something she felt wouldn't worry her fans is amazing. She held out as long as she could before her illness could no longer be hidden. God Bless her for all she's given the world with her beauty, talent,love of life and inspiration. Many times I leaned on he rmusic when I needed comfort from lifes storms and when I just wanted to feel happy and good about life. She'll never know what she has given me and my family over all these years. She and I both lost our husbands to cancer on the same day and year just 2 hours apart from one another and I understood her pain in losing the man she loved all her life. But she kept moving forward to help ease her emotional and mental pain while she struggle with all this physical suffering. I pray God heals her body and allows her to break free of this bondage from illness she's trapped in. May God show her grace and mercy so she can move on with her life. She's an Angel among us and God knows we all need our Angels.
That documentary absolutey tore me apart. I threw it on while working and almost cried at work. She is still so strong and for such an enormously famous person, she still seems pretty down to earth and seems very kind.
not a single person in all of stardom that exists today, would ever publicly say anything against this incredible woman. Why? They know she was better than them. That is why.
I have hypertonicity and watching celine's muscle spasms and going into a seizure which I've never experienced but I have lots of muscle spasms and watching that whole scene I was filled with complete empathy because I know what those feel like and when you're at a state where you can't do anything for yourself and once the spasms are all gone and you come out of it you're embarrassed for yourself I understood exactly where she's at! What people don't understand is once the spasms are gone you are immediately back to normal. That is what you saw at the end of the movie when she sang. How long that took we don't know because the film could be fast forwarded things could have been cut out. It may take in her a while to get up off that gurney to be able to sing we don't know. All I know is I love celine's music I always have and to watched and see exactly what she is going through resonated with myself and I'm wheelchair-bound. I died in 2000 in a coma for 6 weeks and when I woke up I was completely paralyzed. That is why I have hypertonicity which affects my muscles celine's disease affects her muscles and her brain well I have a brain injury I'm not trying to compare myself to her but in some ways there is a comparison muscle issues muscle issues brain injury brain injury only hers is an overactive brain causes the spasms. I am so happy that she had this stamina and the guts to film exactly what is going on in her life we as fans can now understand how hard she is working and like she said her voice leads her. What is she going to do if her voice and body doesn't want to lead like it used to? I'm so proud of Celine and I just want to tell her don't stop no matter how hard it gets how discouraged you get don't stop working hard! You have no idea how many times I wanted to give up on physical therapy. I beg her not to give up! I know she can never get rid of this disease or affliction but I see her someday maybe not dancing the way she used to but I see her singing on stage to all of her fans I don't want an apple I don't need an apple I want her to know that. I just want to see her treat grow strong whether it bears fruit or not it doesn't matter to me. Yes I'm sitting here while I'm writing this out with tears streaming down my face. I don't think I can watch that movie again because it's too close to my own life. But again I'm so thankful that we got a peek inside of her daily life and her struggles. She is a very strong-willed woman just don't give up Selene keep fighting not for your fans but for yourself and your son's. All of your fans will always be there for you when the time comes for you to return.
What an absolute gut wrenching, powerful, intimate and vulnerable story that she shares. To have everyone see the heights and depths of her condition and situation is beyond amazing. Celine....our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. You are truly one in a million.
What a heroic woman! To walk through this journey, so brave, so unbelievable, and to bring light to this disease, that affects only a few and 1 million people each year! Heroic thank you Celine for your bravery you are certainly loved and so deserving. Thank you.
she didn't just donate part of her 800 million fortune towards just this disease, but a foundation that helps many, Many neurological disease sufferers. She is.. a good person.
Celine is the brightest star in the galaxy! She SHINES in this documentary as the most talented, genuine, special, powerful and humble singers on the planet!! May God help her overcome this disease. She’s the most gifted singer on the planet! We love you, Celine! ❤️
No matter if you like her or not you can’t be indifferent of how illness disease affects us and those closest to us. You cannot be also indifferent of how much courage and strength and love she has for her family friends and fans . Humbly exposing all this prove without a doubt that she is one of the few true stars. René is smiling and admiring her her courage up there in the great big sky.
May god bless you! I cried when I saw her have a seizure and with so much pain! I'm a nurse, and it was hard to watch. May the angels in heaven give her the strength to keep moving and heal. Love her since her first album! She is an inspiration to everyone.
Celine Dions songs her voice are beautiful . She has the voice of an angel. I hope she will recover and be able to get back on stage. It is such a cruel thing to happen to her.
An absolute amazing documentary. A window into her life, as it is now. I don't have SPS. But I do have spinal stenosis since birth. I know pain and I know struggle, but nothing like what I have seen her go through. But watching this documentary I see a woman with a lot of Strength and determination to take her life back. I don't see this disorder keeping her down. I see her rising back up. Celine your strength and determination is a guiding light for me. The strength to work, the strength to fight and the strength to fall and rise back up again. And also the determination to take back your life and return to doing what you love, performing. Your fans are always behind you no matter what. And even though you don't have enough apples, we will always stand in line for you. Much love to you and your family and know that I'm always praying for you all. ❤❤🙏🙏
My God,this woman is incredible to show us the whole damm episode,the good and the terrible is huge,pray for her and anyone else who has this cruel syndrome,its truly terrifying to see the pain on her face,celine what a amazing lady you are,i wil pray for you and your wonderful family each and every day,you will beat this i know you will,xx
Seeing this movie about Celine, I have seen how much weight she had lost during her illness, but you don’t see her True pain in the struggle she went through. I applaud her for she is brave and has shown the world not the glamorous Celine, but the real Celine. My heart and prayers go to Celine. She will always be the best singer to me and still after all this she’s beautiful praying for you, Celine.✝️🛐❤️😔
Just finished viewing the documentary. Such courage letting us into her new normal. Miss Celine is a fighter! Life is not fair in her having this SPS which affects her voice , which is her everything in singing. My heart aches for her and I pray she gets well. On a realistic note, if performing is not possible down the road, she has given her fans endless joy of so many performances and songs. She will need to focus on her health, her sons, and living her life, if not on the stage. I applaud her team of therapists. God Bless you all!🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Yes, the team of medical staff that help her, are very compassionate people. You can hear that when they call her "boss"... not like a mafia boss, or okashira or oyaabun, but as a person they Love, and will not let go of. No, they shall never quit on her. Their Queen. That is love.
Years ago, I heard her song, "Fly". I can't believe she is at this very point where her own songs from that same album should sound so encouraging for her now. Graeme could maybe also cover older movies too. He sounds like a big movie buff.
I have seen Celine Dion perform several times, I can’t put into words how much I admire her for her strength and courage. I saw her documentary. She is one determined woman. I cried, I laughed. I wish her nothing but good health, stay strong .
Few people know who they are, she has known since a child. She has always been a 'gift' to humanity and this shows even more of who she is throughout all this pain and suffering. There is no 'feel sorry for me', instead there is just, I am going to be well as I can be, no matter what, I will sing. Bravery is keeping on, no matter the cost. I pray for her recovery and her desire to sing continue as long as she desires.
There will only ever be 1. Celine Dion is an inspiration to all. For futire medical research too. For all the wrongs that you made right. A light of hope and love. Long life to Celine Dion❤️🇮🇪
This movie is Absolutely AMAZING! I truly wish I had the power to heal people because she would be healed instantly. But a forewarning, one scene will not just tug at your heartstrings, it will Rip them out!
I saw her in Vegas some years back.She fell during that performance but got right back up,never missing a note.After the song she asked the audience if we saw her fall ? I was so amazed at just how great she was ,I hardly noticed.This lady is so amazing.
I've lost count how many times I've seen it but I have a huge amount of respect for her. She's a legendary singer, she is truly one in a billion. She is a fighter, fun, quirky, down to earth woman, I love her so much. She gives her fans strength and I hope she knows that we will do whatever we can to give her strength to overcome this
Thank you for always supporting Celine! I think Celine will record that song shown in her documentary after her seizure and perform she might perform it live! It has been a beacon of hope for her through this struggle. ❤
You know Celine , you are a brave, strong, loveable mom. I pray to god to give you strength and courage. I am sure all fans love you the way I do . Good luck to you our star and many years to go!!❤❤❤
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE‼️ HER VOICE IS BENEATH THAT. IT WAS WONDERFUL, and my prayers are with her for her best self. WHO knows if she’ll return? Who knows if her best life isn’t yet to come? No one. ☝🏼 not one ☝🏼 She is unique in more ways than even she may know. ❤
Even when you screaming out in pain, the queen still sounds amazing. Yes, I also cried whenever that scene went on, and hearing the full documentary with audio description is touching as well. You should hear it with audio description, as it can be set on your Amazon device. You might not be blind like me, but just close your eyes and listen to this documentary, as the person describes the action parts. “And loving memory of bear, “scroll across the screen at the end of the movie. That was very cool. It was kind of cool to watch that panorama of music and sound at the beginning of the movie, spinning around you and around you until it didn’t. This must be what Céline Dion is feeling every day, when she suffering through stiff person syndrome. I can’t even imagine however, just on the 26th of this month, she made history by going out on state again in Paris France. Please watch the opening to the 2024 Summer Olympics for more. Just 4:42
The doc was incredible, Celine is amazing. A beautiful, angelic, talented and…REAL person. Everyone could Benefit by taking a page from her. I wish her recovery and better health and so much love!!!
One lady . One voice. One HELLA LOTTA COURAGE AND NEVER ENDING STRENGTH! OUR CANADIAN CELINE GET WELL SOON SO YOUR HEART AND VOICE WILL GO ON! A ADMIRER ! And someone that has temporal lobe epilepsy)
Celine Dion is an inspiration to the world. What I admire about her the most was not her music but the real honest love she showed to her husband. It showed her real honest self. Her talent is well known and admired. Love from around the world.❤
I just watched it. Couldn't help feeling desperately sorry of Celine and I admired her determination and courage. There were a few moments, however, when we saw how privileged she is. Couldn't find a pair of shoes to wear when she was looking at 100's in her closet and having an experienced team supporting her. It made me think of the people out there suffering this, or some other, debilitating illness who have no money and no support. I hope, and pray, that Celine, and all the other sufferers, win their battle.
Celine came from a very poor family. I don’t think she was showing off her wealth. She worked hard for it. She just needed a pair of shoes that wouldn’t hurt her feet.
@christine8394 please think before you comment, Celine grew up poor, her family had no money, and she worked hard for what she has, Celine is not a showoff, she's a kind humble woman who worked hard for everything she has in her life and she helps a lot of people donating charities for years now.
I literally just finished watching the documentary they brought me to tears..😢 but also it brought me a smile to see her strength & the resilience that she has. WE❤U CELINE!
I haven’t been able to see the film yet. From what I have seen, she is a strong, amazing and stubborn person. If anyone is going to show this illness what for, it will be Celine. I admire her more and more. It goes without saying that I am a Canadian and couldn’t be prouder of her, to call her one of our own. She makes all of Canada so very proud and I say this on one of our proudest days, July 1st, 2024, Canada Day.
I haven’t got the courage to watch this yet but one thing came to my mind when I watched some clips of her video. I was tried on an anti-depressant Cymbalta for back pain about a year ago and 5 days on the drug was a horrendous experience. I had muscle spasms everywhere, even my chest and seizure activity in my sleep with vocalization like a dog or coyote. I stopped the drug but the side effects continued for another 5 days. I couldn’t leave my bed and was in tears with the spasms. I read that I’m not the only person who had these side effects. Celine talks about taking high doses of Valium in the clips I saw but I wonder if she was prescribed an anti-depressant that could have also played a role in her condition. I’ve been a Celine fan since she began singing at a young age and I can relate to her grief after losing her husband to cancer. I hope she makes a comeback and, more importantly, regains her health. She’s an amazing singer and performer!
I don't understand this. To me she have always have that thing for attention. Look at me me let's look at her weddings and she had to put it all over the social platform. But this???? Time for family and embrace each other on private this is unreal what she is doing.
Strong doesn't come close to describing Celine. It took me 4 separate segments to get through it because it was so emotional. Dear God. PLEASE help our Celine.
Her story kinda reminds me of Linda Ronstadt with her Parkinson’s disease. Both disease is robbing them of their voices and control of their body. So incredibly sad!!!
Wow this documentary is hard to watch. Respect. Heroic! Celine you are so much more than your voice. It’s your powerful life force behind the voice that is you. Forever the Queen! Love you.
I just watched it. I almost didn't. Boy, what a mistake that would have been. I never really got to know her before today. She's a priceless piece of art that will never be broken.
You have to take in stride that her mindset is French-speaking from Québec,. When she uses words and sayings, in her mind she translates their dialect which is very slang and only makes sense to her ,.so when she explains in English, it changes meanings. Surely does not happen with her singing. Usually when foreign people sing, they have no accent.. Her voice is unique but people think she abused her health by overdoing To many shows for to long..as she quoted,,(je ne suis pas un animal cirque) But she was,,,,😢
if she eat like an average person, she would not have this problem. She lives in a city that has the highest amt. of buffet restaurant per capita, and yet, she won't eat normally
