Great Reaction!! Love it! Have you heard: Oh Holy Night(Live-1997), Can’t Help Falling in Love-1993, long black dress, River Deep Mountain High(live in Vegas) and of course Simply the Best live-(HD version) she has some moves and energy!!!!!
A very wonderful reaction 🗻! She was around 28 years old. Eric Carmen sang the original song in 1975. Yes, she hit that high note 🤯. I see 👁👁 you have reacted to Céline Dion before: Power Of Love and That's The Way It Is. All By Myself was released as the fourth single from Céline Dion's 1996 album: Falling Into You. The song was written by Eric Carmen and Sergei Rachmaninoff. The song was produced by David Foster. The song reached #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #1 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart, #4 on the Hot 100 and #5 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. It also reached #1 in Canada. It peaked within the Top Ten in France, Austria, Finland, Iceland, Hungary, Italy, Belgium and Ireland. The music video was directed by Nigel Dick and contains fragments from Céline Dion's photo session for her "Falling Into You" album cover and some scenes from her Live à Paris concert. The song by was originally recorded by Eric Carmen in 1975 and released as the first single from his debut album: Eric Carmen. The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio sostenuto) of Sergei Rachmaninoff's 1900-1901 Piano Concerto #2 in C minor, Opus 18. The chorus was taken from the song: "Let's Pretend", which Eric Carmen wrote and recorded with his previous band: The Raspberries, in 1972 Eric Carmen explained: "The song started with the solo. It started 4 bars at a time. Eventually, over a period of 2 months, that entire interlude had been written. Then my quest was to put this in the middle of an actual song. Then it was a matter of trying to figure out what kind of song and how could I do it. I was listening to Sergei Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto (written in 1901) and I heard the melody which I used for the verse. Then I needed a chorus. I went back and listened to a song that I had written in 1973 called 'Let's Pretend' for The Raspberries. I just took those notes and took it from there. I thought: ''Let's Pretend', was a nice melody'. The song didn't go quite as far as I thought it should have. I'll go back and steal from myself for this". Eric Carmen continued: "There's not nearly as much fuel in being happy as there is in being miserable. Being miserable is a great catalyst for songwriting, for me anyway. I'm constantly amazed at the amount of wonderful work that Mozart did during periods when he was fairly happy. His music during those periods reflects the happiness. On the other hand, I can't imagine that Sergei Rachmaninoff was happy when he was writing the second symphony and second piano concerto. I don't think the anguish and angst of those melodies comes out of being peachy keen". Eric Carmen added: "If you walked in a record store and saw 'All By Myself' on the record label, you'd know what the song was about, and it's an emotion that everyone has felt at some point in their life. Therefore, it's a song that goes immediately to your heart. The lyrics are as simple as I could possibly make them. Sometimes my melodies are so dramatic that if the lyric is that dramatic, it's overkill". When Eric Carmen wrote the song, he thought Sergei Rachmaninoff's music was in the public domain, meaning he could use it free of charge. After the song came out, he found out it wasn't and agreed to a monetary settlement with Rachmaninoff's estate. Critical Reception 🗣: Bill Lamb from About.com placed it at number nine in their ranking of "Top 10 Celine Dion Songs". Entertainment Weekly editor Chuck Eddy said: "But only in her desolate cover of Eric Carmen's 'All by Myself' does she truly crash through the glass ceiling of passion". Pip Ellwood-Hughes from Entertainment Focus called it "incredible" and "one of the best recorded vocals ever captured". He added that: "listening to Dion reach the highs she does on that song is magical and it sends goosebumps down your spine look (sic) nothing else can". Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report commented: "Demand by both programmers and the public for this rendition of Eric Carmen's 1976 smash made it the obvious choice to be the third single lifted off Celine's multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated album: Falling Into You". Kevin Courtney from Irish Times said: "It's probably a good thing that Celine is all by herself people in the room with her might have their eardrums shattered by her climactic, over the top delivery". Christopher Smith from TalkAboutPopMusic wrote: "Only a few vocalists could possibly attempt to do justice to Eric Carmen's 1975 classic, but with her out-of-this-world voice, Celine is one of them and perhaps the only one big enough to lift the song's long and emotional chords at the end. Celine shatters glass and blows ear drums as she reaches that final 'anymore'. Bring on the orchestra, drums and guitar as they prove no match for Celine as she repeats the song's central line again and again 'don't wanna be, all by myself'. Earth shattering and epic are the words and it was hardly surprising that it wouldn't be released as a single in due course either".

Fun Fact 🕵♀: During a 2019 interview on the TV series: Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Céline Dion revealed that the famous high note (F5) in her 1996 song: "All By Myself", leading into the key change had not been planned but David Foster surprised her with it when she appeared for recording. When Céline Dion asked why the surprise, David Foster told her that if she couldn't sing it, other singers would, which prompted Céline Dion to prove to David Foster that she could sing it.
@@lenstgelais7376 I think you may be mistaken, friend 🤔. She was born on March 30, 1968 🎂. The song/music video was released on December 9, 1996 📺. That would make her 28 years old 🙂. We all make mistakes but in this case I didn't 😉. I appreciate your concern in the matter, all the best 😎.
Hi 👋 I hope that you have Angelina Jordan on your to-do list. She's just amazing. Please start with a 9 year old Angelina, singing I Put A Spell On You. Afterward, you will not need any encouragement to discover her many, many other great performances.
Well instead let me show you an exceptional singer singing at 13 years old…….Celine Dion 😉it’s just another stratosphere vocally th-cam.com/video/j-78a6bH9yc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9oJR1p4aiJNPYqRI
#GabrielHenrique I suggest for your reaction, the talented Gabriel Henrique with the cover of Celine Dion AL BY MY SELF, in Gabriel's voice. Number like 57.
She also does it live. Had the opportunity see her live once in Legas . She is bad ass
She almost turned this song down until David Foster said he'd give it to Whitney instead. She jumped right on that.
To your question Celine was 26 years old when she recorded all by myself
Merveilleux 🎉
The best version.
Canción del gran Eric Carmen RIP
Great Reaction!! Love it! Have you heard: Oh Holy Night(Live-1997), Can’t Help Falling in Love-1993, long black dress, River Deep Mountain High(live in Vegas) and of course Simply the Best live-(HD version) she has some moves and energy!!!!!

Lyrics 🗒:
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't want to be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live, all by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't want to be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live, all by myself anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't want to be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to be, all by myself

Fun Fact 🕵♀: During a 2019 interview on the TV series: Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Céline Dion revealed that the famous high note (F5) in her 1996 song: "All By Myself", leading into the key change had not been planned but David Foster surprised her with it when she appeared for recording. When Céline Dion asked why the surprise, David Foster told her that if she couldn't sing it, other singers would, which prompted Céline Dion to prove to David Foster that she could sing it.
Correction she was 26 years old when she recorded the song remember Celine was born in 1968
@@lenstgelais7376 I think you may be mistaken, friend 🤔. She was born on March 30, 1968 🎂. The song/music video was released on December 9, 1996 📺. That would make her 28 years old 🙂. We all make mistakes but in this case I didn't 😉. I appreciate your concern in the matter, all the best 😎.
@@IceManLikeGervin yes indeed you are right my mistake my calculation yesterday was wrong oups my bad 😂🤷♂️🤦♂️
Merci,gracias listen french song:ton visage 1989 from celine dion 😂

Hi 👋 I hope that you have Angelina Jordan on your to-do list. She's just amazing. Please start with a 9 year old Angelina, singing I Put A Spell On You. Afterward, you will not need any encouragement to discover her many, many other great performances.
