MELINA SINGS

I cannot even start to tell you what this documentary means to me, as fellow singer/performer (not that I would ever compare myself to you.. but I have sung many hits for others, feel the same passion and live music). Celine, you are so right, when you are a true artist you cannot live without your craft .. performing!! You had me in tears... I felt bad for you, especially when you had the seizures, to watch you 'lose control' as you said yourself, I wish I could help you. Thank God you have such good loving and caring, professional people around you. You are still going to perform, but yeah, differently. And the way you pick yourself right up again, even when you so utterly down... seeing your smile and using so much passion singing along at the end, to that last sone "I AM" ... simply amazing and I was so happy for you, and thought.. what a fighter! I almost lost my voice at 30, when I was being treated extremely badly by the record industry and fellow people who made me sing with tonsillitis, just so they could hear me sing one more song. That was it, I lost certain powerful high notes for ever and needed extensive vocal therapy for a long time.. but still am missing certain notes. I am not comparing what happened to me to you by no means... but I guess I relate to the 'fear' of not having the power over your instrument. I pray for you and your children. I hope you can stay strong! Sending so much LOVE to you! And last but not least "thank you for giving me a voice as well, even though I was never recognized by the industry". But you and your story and frankness shows how strong we have to be, when in doubt and things seem to just go down hill. YOU ARE YOU! Merci pour toi and toi votre! You are incredible! xoxoox Melina
