today

I'm dying I'm sure New York was watching me this morning look it helped me wake up You look fantastic how you feel I feel wonderful I feel strong I feel good It's been a It's been a journey It's been hard watching the love of your life suffer for the last three years It's been very difficult but millions of people are going through this and I feel very strong because not just because he He loved me so much for many lifetimes to come He gave me three magnificent children, so much knowledge, stability and trust that you mentioned, the boys who were 15 and the twins who were five and a half, great, yes, I mean, you have to be strong for your children but I I imagine they helped you be strong in some way children can help people get through difficult times I think it's necessary I think it's mutual thank you thank you sometimes in the morning even if I wear silver The French come, but when I feel good, The children feel very good and when they adapt, the children feel very good.

I feel good, but I think it's about feeling very strong and positive and they feel it, they feel that mom is there. well, they know what's going on, they know he's not coming back, they know I have to live with him, but different, I didn't do this as a drama, very grateful that the way it happened wasn't dramatic in front of the

kids

. If I may say so, I am very proud of myself because I think the role of mother for me anyway began the day he was always partners for many, many many years and I think he led the other 50, we were 5050 I think he left me the other 50 so that I would feel very strong and could drive and tell my children that everything will be okay.

How many times over the years have fans come up to you and said Celine, your music, we got through a tough time? time, so two parts, us, the music helped you through it and the fans helped you through it, first of all, I started singing it since I can remember, five years, did it help me today? Yes, before when I was very young not really because I didn't even have time to think if I wanted to do that I didn't even know what I wanted to do I guess it was my destiny suddenly I was on stage with a microphone singing shows and then people started to put myself on television and I wanted to be well, I wanted to have a career and yes, I'm going to go to school to learn English and why not sing in English, French, Mandarin, Japanese and German, that's how his career began. to open up but the fans think I have something more to sing I hope it doesn't sound pretentious to say that the fact that I have been very criticized in a way being an open book talking about you know having children and in the fight for that and the fight that everyone goes through, everyone shares more with your friends, oh yeah, so the fact that you're an open book when I sing those songs now comes to me.

I have helped so many people go to heaven in a way because they wanted to talk to me before they left this earth and honestly they come to me and when I sing it is kind of therapeutic it is a way of expressing myself but it is beyond music what if do we do the rest of this walk? We can do that? Come on, because I think you mentioned your fans. Let's give them the opportunity to participate in this. You just received the Billboard Icon Award. Do you consider yourself an icon? No, no, I don't wake up to that.

I'm not going to bed with that. I wake up realizing that there are only two days during the year that there is nothing you can do and that is yesterday and tomorrow, and I am very, very proud of that the most important role I have in my life. It's being a mother and I'm very proud to have three great children and when I go to bed peaceful and resting and when I wake up they're waiting for me tonight I can't expect other people waiting for you this morning, how do you feel about the heat and humidity?

How do you feel about the heat and humidity? Well the heat is not a problem because I'm from Las Vegas and I haven't lived there for about 15 years so the heat is not a problem because it's about 120 right now so 80 85 90 degrees I can do it but I'm going to tell you say something the heat in New York is not about the weather the heat in New York comes from the defense today hello today fans thank you for watching our YouTube channel, subscribe by clicking that button below and click on any of the videos here to see the latest interviews, featured shows and digital exclusives.
