Did anyone happen to catch Celine Dion’s recent rap performance on the Ellen Show? If you missed it – she was great, lighthearted and funny. It was so nice to see her looking well, enjoying life and laughing after losing her husband Renee just a few short months ago.
Here’s what ET Online had to say:
“Celine Dion proved that she can sing just about anything. On Monday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 47-year-old singer agreed to perform lyrics to different rap and pop songs, including Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” LMFAO’s “Shots,” Britney Spears’ “Work B**ch” and Missy Elliott’s “Work It.” While Dion joked that accepting DeGeneres’ challenge could ruin her career, she nailed her performance of every song.”

It’s so fun to see such a classical and refined performer let her hair down, get out of her comfort zone and really just give the crowd something to laugh and cheer about. It was such an entertaining and great show, especially given the recent sad news – the death of Celine’s long time love, husband and Manager, Renee Angélil. After a battle with throat cancer, he passed away at age 73.
“That was his destiny and I still feel extremely fortunate that he has given me three magnificent children,” she told DeGeneres. “I‘m well because he’s not suffering anymore. The hardest thing is not to lose somebody you love but to see them suffer. So for me to know that he is in a place where he doesn’t suffer anyone makes me feel way better.” (via ET Online)
According to People Magazine, “Although it’s been a tough year for the singer – just two days after her husband’s passing, Dion also lost her brother, Daniel, to brain, throat and tongue cancer at age 59 – she admits that she and the children are doing great.
I feel extremely fortunate as a mother that – it’s probably the thing I’m the most proud of – I prepared my children for how to live … how to live with him without his presence.”
