Love Song Speaking of the athletes of the Olympic Games, this top level champion trains relentlessly. At night from Thursday to Friday, Celine Dion spent five hours near the Eiffel Tower. Parisian Anthony Cayer, 35, confirms this: “Céline doesn’t just sing. We’ll have to dig deeper but I think she’s still riding Joan of Arc on the Seine. » Reached by telephone in the middle of the night, it was still a surprise. “I think he didn’t talk and we were the ones who left him helpless. The power in your eyes, your love, your powerful voice… all returned. It was unimaginable just a few months ago. » Whoever greets him every day in front of the Royal Monceau where the star lives can testify to his return with everyone. “He’s happy again, it’s very moving. »
In Mons, Belgium, Raphaël De Paoline was in tears. “I cry, I cry, he said, sobbing on the phone. My God it is beautiful. This kind of return is amazing. I have loved you so much, now even more. » Like many other members of Red Heads, the star’s first international fan club, he thought he would never see her again. “It has always been a part of my life, I have seen it in action 34 times! Even without being a fan, you can’t help but admire his work. I’m sure you are very proud tonight. ” Like Anthony Cayer, Raphaël de Paoline did not cheat. “Your performance was recorded yesterday. It is seen near the Eiffel Tower from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. »
A real girl
For these two fans, there is no doubt that he sang the playback, like all other singers, of Juliette Armanet on Imagine from John Lennon to Lady Gaga on My precious thing by Zizi Jeanmaire. “This was already the case in Atlanta in 1996. It is a rule in the Olympics, all things are already recorded so that it is perfect,” Anthony Cayer believes he knows.
For these two fans, the important thing this evening is to see Céline regain her self-confidence. “We see a real girl, she does not have her traditional eccentricities which worry her fans, she has also saved herself from René. She is everywhere in the photos on the walls in her house but she is not named in Irene Taylor’s book on Amazon. Tonight, the important thing is to have shown that we still have the ability to keep more than a billion viewers in suspense. “ of Anthony Cayer.
And now? “We should have an answer quickly,” said Anthony Cayer, a fan of the singer when he was eight years old in 1997. He said he could not live without singing in front of his audience. I think we will see it again in concerts here and there, in Vegas, in Asia, in Europe. »
