Céline’s visit at Maison Adhémar-Dion

At the end of August 2011 while they were in Québec, Céline and several members of her family (Clément, Paul, Pauline, Liette, Michel, Jacques, Claudette and their mother Thérèse) visited the Maison Adhémar-Dion, a palliative care center that was named after Adhémar Dion, Céline’s father.

They visited the house and spoke about the reason why it was named after Adhémar, how he died in his wife’s arms and about how each of them believes that taking care of their parents and family is so important. During this very touching interview, Céline spoke and made all of her sisters and brothers cry… The Red Heads have translated her speech for you.

You can watch the video here:

TRANSLATION (starting from 9 min 24)

« I think… You are all absolutely right, because… I think it’s a, it’s a responsibility for all of us, being fortunate, being healthy, it’s our own responsibility to make a difference, to get implied, to take care of the people who have loved us, to take care of the people we love.

You know, it’s easy to say ‘we are going to put grandma here, we are going to put mommy there, we are going to put my aunt here…’ It’s a pity, and it’s true it’s not about money, it should not be a matter of money… The base, family, love, what we have received, what we must give…

To take care of these people, I think it’s a responsibility but it’s also a big present, when you have the chance to give hand, to somebody, to accompany somebody to heaven, it’s a big present, it’s a big present for us, not for the person who’s… Going to leave… This traveller…

It’s a present for us, which is given to us in fact, the person here, saying, ‘take my hand, take me there’, it’s like a child you know, having to cross the street, you give him the hand to show him the path, and when a person is suffering, an old person, who is suffering, who lost his head, you have to hold his hand and I must say : it is as if you were receiving a present, and it puts you in contact with Gods.

When my mother took my father’s hand, mommy said ‘I am allowing you to go’… He was fine, he left being fine, as he felt he was held, loved, and with her words he thought ‘my wife will be ok, so will be my children, I can make this journey’ and I think it’s important to feel you are fine, you are held, and that they are not going to be alone.

So It’s responsibility as a child, as a parent, as a member of the family, and you don’t think you are doing something good : THEY are giving us a present. »

Can you keep a secret… Céline and The Red Heads

Can you Keep a secret… the secret of a magic day…

The Red Heads are blessed from the Gods… blessed to be considered and pampered by the one they adore : Céline.

Because the story of the Red Heads is getting better and better each day, and when you think that the dream is over, another one draws up. The day of March 16, 2011 has marked the mind of a hundred of Red Heads, The happiest and luckiest Red Heads of the world. That day, Céline and her team chose to make the dream of us fans come true by opening for the first time the doors of the Colosseum, the temple of Las Vegas that has become so mythic.

Therefore, on this special day, it is now time to reveal the pictures taken by Mister Gérard Schachmes, Céline’s official photographer, who was, for our greatest pleasure, a witness of this magical afternoon. A big “thank you” to him for immortalizing once again this very important moment for us, and for adding his precious signature to the meeting with our idol.

We offer you in exclusivity 3 photos in gold of Céline and her fans, taken right before the soundcheck we attended.

It is now time for us to thank from the bottom of our hearts Céline’s team who allowed this event. Thank you for the trust they give us and thank you for listening to their hearts and to ours… be sure of our greatest gratitude and our fidelity. We have already told them but we write it again: we are now the happiest fans of the world, for choosing as our idol the most amazing woman, surrounded by an exceptional team.

And to finish, on this day of March, 30th, we can’t leave you without wishing a happy 43rd birthday to Céline, we know your are happy and loved, your happiness is shared…

To all the Red Heads who were there in LasVegas2011 and for those who were happy for us : THANK YOU!


See you soon…

Goodbye « The Red Heads Have Got Talent! » First Edition

The Red Heads have got Talent!!!

And the winners are…

Here we are !!! As unveiled yesterday on Facebook, George Psomiadis is the great winner of the first edition of The Red Heads Have Got Talent, thanks to a superb and very emotional rendition of « Je sais pas / I don’t know » ! He will therefore be able to pick up his prize, that is to say either 555$ cash or a “dream night package” in Las Vegas.

We would like to warmly congratulate him on his victory. We can be proud of him and of his talent, well done! We should notice that the whole Greek fan community is also proudly being represented through him. Let’s take this opportunity to greet them! Ζήτω η Ελλάδα ! Μπράβο George!

Congratulations also to the two other winners, who were very close to victory. Stéphane Delobel from France gets second prize on his amazing acts as Céline Dion and will therefore get the magnificent book « Céline, au-delà de l’image », autographed by its author Diane Massicotte. Étienne Charpentier (also from France) will get a « The Red Heads » cap for his third place, thanks to his rendition and his very imaginative video of « Dans un autre monde ».

Iveta Kate Hanzlickova (Czech Republic) and François Delnooz (Belgium) have reached the fourth and fifth places. Bravo! You can be proud of your performances!

Some of you were extremely close to reaching the final and among them, two contestants are exceptionally awarded a “special distinction” from the jury, which thus wanted to underline the quality of their work and the originality of their concepts: these honorific mentions are officially granted to Joffrey Durel and Mélina Lama. They can be very proud, as the jury wanted to put emphasis on their performances through this nice gesture.

Regarding other participants, regardless of their ranking and how many votes they got, they deserve strong compliments: without the participation of everybody, this contest would not have been such a success. Each contribution, each participant counts enormously. Each video was a cornerstone, useful to the whole building! This is irreplaceable! You also MUST be proud of yourselves!

What conclusion to this first edition can we draw?

With these final results, the first edition of “The Red Heads Have Got Talent” is now already over… Oh yes « already »… And with some emotional feelings…

Yes, let’s say it, we are moved, overwhelmed with gratitude for the success this federative project got. Because we should remember that success is never guaranteed. For the Red Heads, it can only come as the result of a unique group movement, of a nice “spirit”. This is therefore the human aspect, which moves us the most and which we will want to remember in priority.

This success also came as a result of the participation of our jury : THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! There are no word to express the gratitude we all owe to Véronic, Laura and Nicole, these exceptional ladies.

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

The Jury had trouble deciding between the contestants and here are a few words about our finalists:

Georges Psomiadis
Wow. What an amazing and honest performance. Loved the artistic quality and bilingual interpretation. Beautiful, just beautiful! Une voix sublime, une interprétation originale et personnelle qui donne envie d’en entendre encore. Un vrai potentiel sans aucun doute !

Stephane Delobel
You look and move so much like Celine it’s crazy!! Amazing gestures, facial expressions, hair & makeup. I love this guy!! Incredible talent! Un véritable caméléon ! On ressent le plaisir avec lequel ce travail est réalisé, un artiste, déjà.

Etienne Charpentier
Brilliant concept! Great use of basic equipment and minimal setting to tell your story. Looks like you had so much fun creating this. So innovative! You rock! Un travail d’équipe, une aventure qui semble avoir réuni beaucoup de monde sur un projet commun. On ressent dans vos regards l’envie de faire les choses bien et de communiquer des choses positives… Beau travail, tout simplement.

Iveta Kate Hanzlickova
Nice to see a video made specifically for this contest. A little masterpiece of fun & energy. Un sketch amusant le tout porté avec enthousiasme! Votre énergie est communicative ! You go girls!

Francois Delnooz
The filming and editing were spectacular. Brought tears to my eyes. Celine’s voice really added to the emotion of this very touching and personal video. Excellent! Une vidéo tout en émotion… qui nous rappelle que la musique est aussi faite pour véhiculer des messages forts…

————————————————————————————————————————————

It is no use underlining the figures we have presented during the different steps of the contest. They are simply amazing (e.g. thousands of visitors and votes), reaching levels we would not even have dared dreaming of. The number of fans of The Red Heads on Facebook reached a new high level, the community grew up.

But know it and believe it: this success is completely yours, each and everyone’s! More than ever, you are the drivers of the success of each Red Heads’ mission. Thank you again for your participation. The contest’s concept was just the perfect synthesis of the “Red Heads’ spirit”, the mirror of our own formula: gather, create, be original, be ambitious, help, participate, bring enthusiasm.

We hope you all had a good time with this contest, and that it allowed you to add some euphoria around Céline’s come back to Las Vegas. This hyphen brings us directly to less than 30 days before the Premiere, stay tuned!

And now ?

After this achievement and with respect to the already numerous requests… There may be… Who knows… In the future… “Maybe, probably, possibly”… AND IF YOU INSIST…

A SECOND EDITION OF THE RED HEAD HAVE GOT TALENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today more than ever, EACH and everyone of you is bringing The Red Heads higher, so that we all celebrate our passion for someone… who’s in our hearts.
