Celine has presented the award of "Record of the year" with Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Wonder.
See a transcript of the Celine interview on Access Hollywood (here) on the show's site.
Excerpts:
-Celine Dion: ... I feel like I have things to sing about. I definitely feel that this album took the least of my voice, but more of my soul and even more of my heart -- everything was relaxed and soft. My son was by my side and we had a great time. It feels like I made such a difference in my son's life and nothing else matters. I want to be more successful as a mother than I am in show business.
-Celine: More peaceful and more complete. I don't feel like I have to push things or force things. I feel like everything is more relaxed.

Hi there!
Well just seen a short interview on GMTV (UK) this morning about Celine and her return.  She looked extremely stunning and chatted and joked about her return saying that having a break away has given her a chance to try out something a bit different with the new album.  She joked about the fact that the Collesuem was built for her show and said it must be a present for having a baby.
They talked about the release of the new album and said about the TV special which is going to be in two parts just after the album is released. Best regards, Kevin  (UK)

Celine's comment about the Olympic controversy were published in the New York Post newspaper:

"I find this situation devastating and unacceptable". "These athletes train all their lives for the chance to compete for the gold medal at the Olympics. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Regarding Gougne, Dion raged: "When you are an Olympic judge, you have the responsibility to be fair and act professionally. Nothing outside of the athletes' performance should influence your vote. As [husband] Rene [Angelil] and I watched our fellow Canadians compete that night, we were so moved by their performance. We were sure they had won and were devastated when the decision was announced.

"I am so proud of how [Sale and Pelletier] have handled the situation," Dion said. "These two incredible athletes demonstrated the true spirit of the Olympics as they stood there on the podium with their silver medals and bouquet of flowers. They had tears in their eyes and they knew in their hearts that they had won. And the whole world did, too."

Billboard review of "A New Day Has Come" -By Chuck Taylor (paraphrased):

Celine Dion's first release in over two years, "A New Day Has Come"(her 8th English album) reveals a complimentary new album for the refreshed, recent mother.  "A New Day Has Come" seems to be a soft and gentle breath that sheilds our ears to the world's problems, through song as our country looks hopefully to a changed, but stronger future.

The lyrics were also written about he birth of her son a year ago:"The world thought I had it all / but I was waiting for a miracle to come."

Ric Wake's radio remix of "ANDHC" opens as an Enya-styled whispering as it moves into the uptempo background of the song. It was written by Aldo Nova and Stephan Moccio in an uptempo like a graceful dove flying everso gently upward.

This album edit comes in a beat that allows Dion's voice alone to fully reveal the song's underlying message.

On both of the "ANDHC" versions, Dion voice embraces a very subtle performance - as to  dramatically direct the track's real emotion, but still be delicate enough to offer a unique comfort to our listening ears.
This is such a divine beginning for the enduring Celine Dion to completely compliment her new album. The potential for this album is as bountiful as our new world. The March 26 release will surely bring a chart-topping debut to the Billboard 200 during the following week.
Gavin: On the AC Chart : enters at No. 20.

Celine Dion Set to Release New Studio Album, A New Day Has Come(Worldwide Release March 2002)

NEW YORK, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Music superstar Celine Dion will release her new album, A NEW DAY HAS COME, on March 26, 2002. Outside the United States the album will be released on March 25, 2002.
The first single, released to radio Feb. 6 will be the title track, "A New Day Has Come."

"The last two years have been among the best of my life, as my husband and I have started a family and enjoyed our time together. This has made going back into the studio a vehicle to express my growth both personally and artistically." states Dion.

"Celine is not only a world class artist and one of the best singers of all time ... she is also one of the greatest people I know," commented Thomas D. Mottola, Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment.  "Throughout her extraordinary career, her talents have earned her legions of loyal fans in every single part of the world, making her the rarest of things -- a truly global superstar. Now, after a two year hiatus, Celine is back with a phenomenal new album that achieves unprecedented heights of artistic excellence."

Epic Records President, Polly Anthony adds, "Celine has literally grown up in front of the world. These past two years out of the spotlight have been so important to her; as a woman, a wife, and now a mother.  With the release of A New Day Has Come we meet Celine in the next part of her life -- she is confident, exuberant, and as always vocally unmatched."

Dion, who has sold over 140 million albums worldwide, will perform songs from A NEW DAY HAS COME in an upcoming one hour CBS network special to air April 7. Fans will be able to see the new album come alive on Celine's TV Special, "A New Day Has  Come" on CBS at 8pm EST in the United States, and globally in the weeks following.

The 20/20/Barbara Walters interview is tonight-Friday, February 1, 2002, from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.-ABCTV (ET).
From Barbara Walters (20/20)
Two years ago, I did an interview with superstar Celine Dion in which she startled the entertainment world with news that she was taking time off from her singing career, that she wanted to have a baby. On Friday's program, you'll meet that baby, now a year old, as Celine sits down with me for her first television interview since stepping off the public stage. She talks with me in Palm Beach about her abbatical, her family and her future.
Celine faced some powerful challenges during her extended timeout. Her son, Rene-Charles, was born through in vitro fertilization. And while she was trying to have the baby, her husband, Rene, was diagnosed with throat cancer, and was treated with radiation and chemotherapy. Rene is now recovering well, and the baby is thriving. Celine's happiness is obvious, and she shares some surprising news about her professional life. She has just signed an unprecedented new contract, providing her with an opportunity to perform regularly while maintaining a normal family life. You will hear her sing for the first time - even before it is played on the radio - her
new song, "A New Day Has Come."

>>According to Quebec media sources, it's no surprise that Celine and Rene are definitely near the top of the list of the most influencial people in Quebec.
Celine Dion is the only singer born in Quebec to have overwhelmingly succeeded in the USA. Her recording success and USA recognition has helped put Quebec on the map.

Some call it "Celinemania" in the USA because the United States is the biggest, most influential and most recognized entertainment market in the world! Because of Celine's voice, American's now are interested in listening to Quebec and French singers. But none have had the same voice or the same resulting "Celinemania" success as of yet.

By Canadian statistics, Celine is the 91st wealthiest person in the country with an estimated wealth of $295 million. On the otherhand, Rene Angelil says something like this, "it's success which gives power in the entertainment industry and not money." But Rene, the manager, still  denies having that same sort of power over the media.

Even with a two year break from the singing spotlight, Celine's voice is still as popular as ever. Her new album, "A New Day Has Come" will be released in the USA on March 26.

Celine will also live in Las Vegas while performing(with over 50 artists) on stage in a 4000-seat concert arena beginning in March of 2003.

This Las Vegas show is a new type of challenge and most likely another "Celinemania" USA success for Celine Dion's ongoing list of entertainment successes. (paraphrased from article)

>>The International Federation of Phonographic Industry (IFPI) - announced on Sunday, January 20, 2002 that Céline Dion is by far Europe's top multi-million selling artist.  Her eight album titles have achieved 33 Platinum Europe Awards over the past six years (a platinum award corresponds to the sale of one million copies).
