celine dion Interview @ Regis & Kathie Lee 1990

[mindyourbizok]

She was so pretty, talented, and gifted.

[YouPlayG]

Take a kayak

[ISpeakCanadianEh]

I never liked her at all until I saw this. She seems so nice and real, hope she is still like that.

[Ihateeminem1985]

Great debut!

[PuggyLuvr]

she is related to Madonna somehow. Isn't it weird how she refers to her soon to be husband as a second father?

[mpg895]

WELCOME TO AMERICA???? are you serious? SHE'S FRENCH CANADIAN -___- omg.....

[MrArgros]

@mpg895 yes. i think USA people think "USA" is AMÉRICA!!!! so Céline is from CANADA anda CANADA is on AMÉRICA.....so, I'm from ARGENTINA, and ARGENTINA is on AMÉRICA..... A GLOBAL MISTAKE DONT YOU THINK?

But the one and only IN AMÉRICA IS CÉLINE DION...OF COURSE! see you buddy! :)

[dshmechanic]

Incredible how she has very little accent when she speaks, especially for having just recently (just a few years prior to the filming of this interview) learning the Engilsh language. Amazing, and worthy of admiration!

[pipesrussell]

@dshmechanic Hopefully she will learn how to speak proper French soon...Et non son crisse de joual du secondaire un.

[csever01]

Kathie Lee was so nice to her, speaking slowly and clearly!

[FrkHoltegaard]

oh my god, that thumbnail.

[EricinTheBayArea]

I was 9 Years old i'm 30 now. I didn't know who she was til Titanic.

[soultakecourage]

Omg does anyone else notice how good her english is here!!!

[AJ7Singer]

she said she was an accident, but very proud to be here, little did she know what an impact she has made.

[27loldie]

Now her second father is her husband...awkward.

[addalexand]

She looked better with about 20 pounds on her

[CaraC3xDPPxWbless]

uha! there!! I quote, 'he's almost like my 2nd-father, almost'--based on Ceiling Dion!!! and passionately married to happily after forever; ;-xD!!!

why is this western-cultural-thing is my business again, chimpanzee-shoe;D?

whatever ;-D

[34airflow]

I think she was pretty when she was naturally brunette. Her face also seems to have changed structurally.

[wbgrl99]

She did really well for her first English interview

[deadlybug]

"Welcome to America"?! She's Canadian, dipshit.

[mrtelevision]

Like her White Dress and Silver Tights!

[MrJnapkid]

The manager she is speaking of is David Foster is now helping Charice.

[jawjjj]

Ummm....I like how she conveniently acts like she doesn't have a romantic relationship with Rene....."he's like my second father..." YUCK. She says that and yet they were already "dating" at the time. YUCK YUCK

[parachuteboi]

omg thats the 1st time she referred to Rene as her second father - almost. whew

[JRCrowley]

Sexy legs. lol

[johnnypink312]

She was still living with her parents. How adorable!

Oh, how modest and naive she was for the success to come in the next 20 years.

She is an icon.

[drtascam]

So poised at 23. Great person. Great talent.

[originaldeftom]

LOL I always have to laugh if Americans welcome Canadians to "their world"...as if Canada was not America. Last time I checked it was on the same continent as the US of Ass, lol. US Americans can be so rude.

[taniran3]

DIVA ov DIVA's,, celine is perfection to de music industry,,superb role model for all de up an comin wanna be diva's...addin to that she has one ov da meanest most powerful singing voice uv eva herd,,, she rocks!! ... fan 4eva

[mbibliotheque]

Kathie Lee was so pretty

[eb641]

You must understand; Regis will NEVER shut up !!.. He couldn't even pronounce her name...What an unbelievable klutz

[toutatis12]

Shut-up Regis and let Celine talk.

[Mtsh990]

och my how I love her!

[kraftdinner18]

what a pair of pipes wtf

[primohomme]

"he's like my second father" and now her husband...creepy

Love Celine though

[joey5picks]

She's really quite ugly. Wonders what makeup can do, or try to do.

[mnsnake]

@joey5picks Fuck off shitface.

[joey5picks]

@mnsnake Whoa! That's not nice. It sure it a well thought out reply, though. Are you 13?

[toutatis12]

Ce "line" - Regis you are a dipshit.

[EpnieTop40]

Who are these people that press dislike on every nice video ?

[raabiatriplethreat]

i wasnt even born when she did this!!

[fkoff99]

@HeLovesCulture ;-) We have to tell it as it is!!! hehe,.

[iwannab0123]

she only studied English for two months but she could speak straightly and fluently right ahead! AMAZING!

[FoxyGrandpa]

@iwannab0123 she studied for 2 months 3 years before that - she'd had the 3 years to practice too

[WhitneyElizabethH]

her natural hair is better then any other hair she has had!

[musicguy713]

I love how she called renee her second father, they really had to hide it LOL

[fkoff99]

She is so sweet, spontaneous, original, smart and talented. NOT like those stupid celebrities (products) that are so full of shit and arrogance out of nothing. Celine, you are an example of talent and humanity.

[AndrewsOpinion15]

damn regis was young in this he only 50 year old !!!

[Elijah4Everr]

UN-BELIEVABLE.

Her speaking voice is SIGNIFICANTLY different from her singing voice. JAY-ZUZ.

She's great,

[pinkrhythm04]

I love this song...Celine you're the best!

[sadierulestheworld]

I think Rene made a good choice.

[xavierkim30]

she has gotten prettier as she has aged

[TheXxfallingintoyoux]

second father...........hmm celine,not the best thing to say considering you were in a relationship with him at the time!

[blognewb]

@TheXxfallingintoyoux I WAS JUST GONNA COMMENT THAT OMG LOL

[St3pheNsG1itchd]

Oh Wow. I didnt know she used to hide her accent. Im sure they made her =/ lol

[frenchlearner7]

It's like her Eurovision outfit ...

[ToobFobiK]

say lane dee yawn

[voyage54]

She almost was a first Susan Boyle.

[hannahhazlehurst]

Her english has improved soo much since this interview !! :) i love Celine :D

[strawberryseason]

I really do not wish to go back to those women's styles from the late 80s-early 90s. They were so fake looking.

her voice is amazing though.

[sbrushfan]

Here's the deal: Celine knew, even back then, that she was going to not only conquer the world, but conquer our hearts and souls as well. Listening to her powerful, soulful voice, even in this embryonic stage, is akin to some sort of spiritual invocation. And it's a beautiful, touching, stunning, soaring thing.

[ritter89]

@sbrushfan She may have conquered your heart and soul but she's the queen of cheese and schmaltz to a large portion of the population, as well. She's one most pretentious and melodramatic vocalists on the planet, imo. Her tunes seem to appeal to people like my mother, who loves overblown melodrama, especially in her music. I can't believe that people still fall for the humble little immigrant shtick.

[sbrushfan]

@ritter89 And everyone is entitled to their opinion. You believe what you would like to believe; as do I.

I don't give a damn about the melodrama and pretension (as you put it), as that's what a lot of pop music is based on.I'm not "falling for the humble little immigrant shtick." What I DID fall for is the voice, as did a lot of people.

[teniesea101]

Can somebody please tell me wat was the word she said at 0:52 well can someone spell it for me

[tehgrovecourt]

@teniesea101 she said "petite, petite".

[teniesea101]

@tehgrovecourt thx

[Juliambe]

@teniesea101 petite. it's like tiny, small stature

[teniesea101]

@Juliambe thank you

[brayanm787]

how could anyone dislike this video there should be 0 dislikes

[EcoTriGem]

I bet the rating for this show increased when she started singing...

[Jmw5283]

Both Celine Dion and Kathy Lee Gifford got hotter with age.

[jak7f22]

she sure deserve the success she have, she's so talented and humble

[screemingbeauty]

celine is very sweet:)

[tipofmytongue1024]

Cassettes...lmao!!! I miss those things. :P Get them all tangled up...haha I'm 19 I love old school stuff.

[dfan]

"he's like my second father almost"

Awwwwwwkward. Lol!

[fallenice77]

Celine's chair is wobbling a little... lol

[MiguelitoinMIami]

I love Celine, I knew about her back then but its only now with the perspective of time that I can really appreciate her talent and her authenticity. I declare myself a fan

[fontenayperi]

I often think Céline was very lucky to have that 14 musician sibling story to tell. That was pretty catchy for her first interviews in the US

[royally1]

Lmao Celine did she say he was like her father n wat 3 years later they were married.

[Casathious]

I think this must be 1991, because Dion says "I'm 23 years old," which would put this around 1991.

[BirdAngel]

celine is sitting on a gangly chair!

[HarpoSpoke]

Little did they know she was about to conquer the world and become the biggest selling female artist of all time.

I think Regis "got it" after he heard her sing....you can bet he knew how to pronounce her name after that!

[mirainsweden]

i always gor the impression that regi wasn't so impressed by her until he heard her sing. like in the beginning he didn't really know who she was and then when she sang, he was like, OMG she can sing...LOL

[PinchinFilms]

WOOOF!!

[ahmad123987]

I can't believe Regis couldnt say Celines name! lol.

[KobraGenerosa]

She's not in voice here at all(( But interview is good.

[DeejayLarz2006]

@KobraGenerosa So you're saying she's lip-syncing here? If so I have to very much so disagree with you. She was singing live, you can tell.

[itsjustme2919]

Her accent is almost non existent here. It seems like her english is worse now than it was then.

[redsealuv]

you're right LOL

[neerrg]

@itsjustme2919 I think because she was still learning she tried really to pronounce the words right, but now its just comes to her without thinking so its more natural

[julsmith5]

"like my second father".... haha... silly Celine!! =) i love her!!

[texboyinsf]

What a sweet interview. Her parents raised her right--and you can sense her appreciation and love for them in this interview. God bless you, Celine! And thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with the world.

[GabGab3315]

they were like "together" at this point

it was slightly obvious she didn't want to talk about it lol. she called him "the manager"

[Talia086]

hes like my second father!!!!!!!!!! hahahahaha

[galanie]

She probably did record the song in a cheap studio. Most biographies simply state that it was recorded, not where. I'd think any story saying it was in the kitchen to be a romanticized tale. Perhaps written there, but not recorded there.

[outinsider]

This was one of Celine's first American interviews, and the start of an amazing expanded career. And, I always thought Regis was at his best with Kathie Lee.

[moesalim88]

I don't understand

didn't she record her first song in their kitchen

what is this about cheap studio

[hbtg01]

I don't care about her accent or grammar..Celine is a singer and not a grammar/language teacher.She's the best in what she does and that's SINGING.

[claramichelle7]

i look so much like her, celine dion.

[KaraBear567]

She looks so different now.

[coolquebec]

French Canadians founded Canada, before English people arrive. There are not immigrants at all.

[mollyclairexx]

"Welcome to America" LMAO! What an idiot...She's from Quebec...it borders the US...

[silverdream80]

shes so sweet !

[floatygabz]

they not 'french migrants', they've been there as long as everyone else if not longer. and btw people with an education speak french and english in quebec, even if french is their first language.

[Ueberbacker]

''he's like my second father'' her future husband lol

I like this song! simple but good performance

[alexdeltaceline]

they had a relationship already at the time :P

[M055155]

@Ueberbacker Really ? i did not realize that .

thanks .

[disneyprincess777]

lmao saline?

arent there americans named celine? its not that hard of a name, you think he'd know how to pronounce it

[coolquebec]

He wanted to pronounce it as they do in Québec French.

[Yunginspirit]

Celine was very pretty and confident even when much younger. She's my favorite female vocalist.

[Bergman90]

i love her soomuch.she is amazing

[23cedrix23]

Not a fan at all BUT what a singer... very impressive, she sings like I breath...so natural !!!

[cutie4u61288]

i dont understand how could she go all that time without knowing english didnt she live in canada doesnt everyone know english in canada? or part is just straightly french speaking and no one else knows english?

[coolquebec]

Québec is the only French-language province of Canada. Other provinces are officially bilingual, but not Québec. A lot of Québécois can speak a "basic English", as they learn it at school as 2nd language. So, yeah, Québec is kindly a straightly french speaking part of Canada.

[latinahoney123]

and I could never learn a language either good going celine!

[latinahoney123]

damn one kid would be a lot but 14? holyyyyyyyyy fuck

[maccamark01]

haha look how different kathy lee looks

[popinfresh]

i was thinking the same thing! 2nd father is her husband??? haha but I love Celine Dion

[somewhatlongdong]

wow, hard to believe..

[StartupClicks]

She would of destroyed American Idol. Le Québec est fier de toi Céline!

[auggiedoggy]

J'espère que le Canada est fier d'elle.

[124bjw]

Absolument.  Les Americains sont fier d'elle aussi, comme moi par exemple.

I believe she destroyed the Eurovision competition. Please don't tell me how close Lara Fabian came to her or anyone else. I heard Celine sing "Ne Partez Pas San Moi" she blew everyone away. When Lara sings "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" it doesn't even sound like the same song and I believe she finished 3rd or 4th that year. A good singer, yes, but she's not Celine Dion. (No one is)

[ContesPourTous]

No one is like Céline Dion.

That's so true Bev !

Thanks for sharing.

Love ya

Catherine ♥♥

[ericmtl]

Her english was better back then, weird! Oh and those maxi pads on her shoulders... bless her heart! She looked adorable.

[charlesffff]

its funny the way he pronounces "Céline"

[coolquebec]

He tries to pronounce it as they do in Québec French

[galanie]

I think her natural charm has done as much for her career as her incredible voice.

[mjelement89]

where's the interview with milla jovovich?????

[Akee1990]

Has Celine Dion lost weight between 1990 an' 2009?

[heavenlyjessica]

She has had an incredible life, she is amazing.. Congradulations to her being pregnant with her second child..

[somethingblue474]

i dont know if it just the way she use to talk but she sounds sick

[nariman89nkf]

wow its so cool that says " he is like my second father" hahahaha

i love you celine

[FinCups]

she looks good with a little bit of weight on her . .

[sanyrub]

Yeah she deserves all she has!!!

[VocalTrinity]

I really love Celine Dion,I think she really deserves what she's having right now.

She's a really kind,beautiful & talented person.How I wish she'll live forever to give more joy to the people in the world.

[SmileyFan29]

She's so beautiful.. and awesome! it seems like she's very shy that time coz she's just starting her career in America..

I love you Celine!

[btdtlol7]

nasbertoty:

You're 22, right? So, are you even as talented as Celine? HA!!...probably NOT!!

How many 23 year olds bought their parents a house? Have you?....probably NOT again!! You UGLY BITCH, SHUT UP!!

[nasbertoty]

[btdtlol7]

Oh shut up, you ugly bitch!!! STOP COMPLAINING about what others do!!! You don't have to open an account to listen or watch music dumbass!!! HAHAHA!!!! If I'm a stalker then I should be knocking on your door & watching every move you make, idiotic fool!!! But I have better & important things to do than stalking some immature, pathetic fool like you!!! FUCK YOU BITCH or FAG!!!!

[btdtlol7]

You only wish I'm stalking you!!! You probably don't have a freakin life anyway!!! You know what, just give it up!!! If I'm really a stalker, I'm gonna make sure that there's a really good reason for doing it but with you.......nah.....I'd rather do something more productive that'll benefit me....meaning you're NOT worth it!!!!

[nasbertoty]

[krispykreme327]

[pipesrussell]

Nice eyebrows.

[dambreaker]

welcome to the early 90's

[clarkbell]

welcome to the 80's

[linardp3]

CELINE je t'aime! the philippines adores you and your music

[hbtg01]

yeah, come to the philippines.

[Racedude621]

Good performance. This is the only time the big note wasn't the same tone the whole way through. I like the differences. :P

[ohouui]

Yeah haha it`s quite confused... she just said this whatever she felt or thought back then so you`re right: anyway lol

[ohouui]

YES but back then he was not her husband, only her manager:P

[82celinedion82]

Beautiful then gorgeous now.

[shadeofme12]

She has not changed at all. Very shy, very friendly, very polite. Lots were lost because of their stuck-up behaviour and were ungrateful to where they got to. Key one to lifetime stardom: stay humble. Celine got that from the start :) I love u!

[celinishlove]

amazing ! my mouth would have dropped had i been in that audience seeing her for the first time. she STILL amazes me !

[sebasny79]

Celien so cute!!! Best singer in the world.

[AussieRosie]

Fancy making Celine sit on a wobbly high chair in such a short, but beautiful dress.

It's great to see footage like this and know how far she has come.

The best female singer ever.

Thanks for posting.

[jandminnkeepers]

She is so damn cute. And awesome singer.

[southernfratdude]

Yea her voice, accent, English is awesome in 1990?!

[kaczerm]

yea her English is so good here and now she has a accent . hmm
