9th → To all those things we never said.

10th → I love you.

11th → I'm prefect, but I come in flip flops. (Harry Potter AU)

Hello my fellow moots @melda0m3 @moredifferentthanusual @the-autistic-spider @superspookyjanelle @monarch-of-jjba-simping @lavatichellborn @thepersassiest @professional-introvertist please listen to Jean-Jacques Goldman he wrote a ton of amazing songs. There's lots of covers, but they mostly forgot the original awesome music he always has behind. He also wrote lots of songs for other artists and they're always some of their most known songs (I'm not even exaggerating, you can check Wikipedia, he wrote 125 songs for other artists)

"Encore un matin, Un matin pour rien Une argile au creux de mes mains Encore un matin, Sans raison, ni fin Si rien ne trace son chemin"

- Jean-jacques GOLDMAN

"one more morning,

a morning for nothing

clay in the palms of my hands

one more morning,

without reason or end,

if nothing draws its path"

- my dirty translation

my little brother & i are having a scholarly debate about mornings

Happy Birthday, Jean-Jacques Goldman! The legendary French singer-songwriter wrote "Elle ne me voit pas" (which Sarah recorded as "He doesn't see me/She doesn't see him" for her "La Luna" album), and also "Le bonheur est multicolore" (which Sarah recorded for the France/Belgium exclusive "Winter in Paris").

I Am Celine Dion (2024)

Two weeks ago, Celine Dion managed with all her strength to steal the show at the Olympic Opening Ceremony amidst her bout with Stiff Person Syndrome. Whether this performance turns out to be her swan song or not, it shows the courage that she had to appear in front of the entire world. The new documentary "I Am Celine Dion" is an up close look at the diva as you've never seen her before, and my reaction is to see her in her prime instead.

The documentary opens in 2021 when Celine is coming to terms with her recent diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome. She has had to cancel an upcoming Vegas residency to her dismay, but her lack of strength and lethargic singing has forced her away from the stage. However, Celine is not one to stay at home and away from the public eye. She makes online appearances, cuts a song or two and dubs a film. Interweaved into the present are archive footage of her performances, old interviews and TV appearances and home videos of her with her late husband Rene and their three sons.

The average person wants to eavesdrop on their favorite celebrity, whether it's their home life or going out to dinner. But when it comes to them being sick and at their most vulnerable, it's nothing short of depressing. "I Am Celine Dion" should really be retitled "I Am Suffering" because for more than half of the film, we are subjected to her "poor poor me" mentality. I'm not putting her bout with the disease down, but when every other scene is about her saying how she can't perform or have a productive life interspersed with footage of the Celine Dion of the 1990s that took on the world, the content borders more on pathetic. Near the end of the film, we see Celine have a seizure during a physical therapy session. Talk about depressing the viewer even more when we've already been subjected to a wealth of TMI. I thought the documentary about Roger Ebert had its depressing moments, but at least with that film, there was a fine balance between the past and the present. With Celine Dion, we really don't get to know more of her upbringing, her big breaks, her marriage to Rene and collaborations with her peers. All we get is the soap opera aspect of her life, backed by a mix of opulence and narcissism.

There is one part of the documentary that put a smile on my face and that was Celine's admiration of Australia's Voice John Farnham, whose documentary "Finding The Voice" I recently reviewed. As a respite to the depressing content, we see Celine come alive as she views a Youtube video of Farnham performing his cover of The Beatles' "Help" and marveling over his singing and musicianship. If the Farnham documentary doesn't get him more exposure in the US, then Celene Dion's doc might do the trick. The segment concludes with Celine being interviewed for the Farnham documentary and footage of the two performing at one of her shows. I would also have liked to see more about her collaboration with French singer/songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman who is only seen for a few seconds on film and is never mentioned by name once. Goldman is another legendary figure whose fame eluded American audiences and should have been given his due as well. How about mentions of her other collaborators like Quebecois singer Rene Simard or more well known singers like Barbra Streisand or Luciano Pavarotti? Again, we learn very little about Celine's past and that's what the audience should have been subjected to instead.

Going back to the Olympic Opening ceremony, I think it would have more prudent to put off releasing the documentary until after the ceremony and use the performance as an epilogue to leave the viewer with some hope for the future. Instead, the last line is Celine blurting out the following statement, "If I can't walk, I'll crawl". This could have been the portrait of a musical legend that gently broached upon her current health problems, but instead we get more of the baggage and less of the music.

On The Jukebox: "I Am Celine Dion (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)"

Original instrumental score composed by Redi and Ekland Hasa. All songs performed by Celine Dion. Featuring Jean-Jacques Goldman on "J'irai ou tu iras".

[Note: There is a version of this soundtrack named "Je Suis Celine Dion" available on most streamers. As there is no difference in content between the two versions (believe me, I've checked), I'm not sure why the other version exists.]

Que faire du mépris ? Eh bien, n’avoir que faire du mépris : il est la position inauthentique de celui où celle qui croit pouvoir échapper à son siècle.
