Wow! Celine along with Whitney and Mariah are examples of perfect singing, both technique and emotion. Her voice is overpowering and her conviction undeniable. Her instrument is one in a million and God bless us for having her around.
this is the best performance of this song anywhere i wished more videos had this its so cool to hear here live but i more than that enjoyred hearing the band sould like the record or is this the guys that played on the record or just hired guns or the tonight show band filling in?
I used to be in love with Celine in her pre-glamour-days . She ain't been a beauty but she was somewhat cute & natural looking yet a lot of sensuality & freshness radiated from her. She somehow lost it when she morphed into a diva but that's just me.
Her talent never ceased to grow however & her voice is mind-boggling to say the least.
Where Does heart beat now When i came to canada the first song i listen in french That is celin song i did not come from music family since i was little boy like to be actor. but could not dot it because my family is very poor least i enjoy her music
I remember being in high school YEARS ago and i always remembered this performance and stayed with me for monthes and she wasnt even big at the time.I just loved her then ....Memorable.....
for those of you looking for early celine look for her singing "Ne partez pas sans moi" in eurovision 88 (video on youtube) or even earlier on swiss qualifying round (also on youtube) or look at eurovision 89 where she sings above (88 winner) song and also "where does my heart beat now" easily 18 months before first leno appearance -- quality is excellent voice (especially in euro 88 video) is the best!
One quick observation on the world's greatest singer -- they always need a physical outlet during their emotional peaks of the song e.g. celine pounds her chest, whitney jumps, mariah waves her hand..what do you guys think?
Celines physical outlet is through her gesturing, particularly during suspended notes she lifts her arms, of sudden high notes. The gesturing is also part of her culture, the francophones are very similar to the italians in movements.
@kapuahou Well, have you noticed her voice was muchhh more powerful back then in this video? It seems as if she has lost some of this vocal strength. She still amazing nonetheless of course.!~
@Dallas3212 I think she's actually gained back some power recently. Her voice was pretty beaten up by the end of her Vegas run, but over time and the course of her tour it came back.
@spiderpigchick Yeah but she should take advantage of her MEGASTARDOM nd demand that everybody on earth and all other life-forms should bow at her feet, you get my drift??
Yes it is. The host of the show insisted they shouldn't reuse this film and therefore delete this performance, as it happened with streisand's first performance ever, fil was expansive and at that time they reused it. We are very lucky that this video exists. It goes to show how impressive celine sounded at a young age. She is past forty now.
I wish i could find video of Celine performing Pour Que to m'aimes encore on Jay Leno also, i saw it once but it has been removed i guess... it was really old also, she had really short hair at that point.
I think they all could share the same perm bottle... well except for Yves, he had the hat.
I think we truely see Celine singing her... butt off here to jumpstart her English Career. Definitely a video that will be played in the years to come.
What a classic by Celine! WDMHBN is still one of my favorites and she sounds SOOO amazing here! Bonus points for the dancing guitarist in the background and the mega 80s hair!!!
