Weirdest Discovery
When Celine was little, her brother and mother wrote a song for her. Though in French, it was translated to “It Was Only a Dream.” She loved it, and they sent a recording of her singing it to Rene Angelil, who scooped it up. They ended up marrying, and the rest is history!
Interfering Mom
Celine’s mom sent the demo tape to the music manager, and she added a note claiming that the 12-year-old had a fantastic voice. Rene didn’t do as asked initially. Her brother had to persuade him, and that took time. Still, he was impressed and asked for an audition.
