Celine Dion's showstopping 'live' performance at the start <br>
<br>
of the Paris 2024 Olympics was pre-recorded, it was claimed <br>
<br>
in France today.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Millions were moved to tears when the 56-year-old Canadian superstar sang Hymne <br>
<br>
à L'amour (Hymn to Love) in front of the Eiffel Tower.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It was the culmination of a lavish Opening Ceremony mainly held along the <br>
<br>
banks of the River Seine - one that President Emmanuel Macron said <br>
<br>
was the 'emotional highlight' of the sporting extravaganza.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But on Friday, the highly respected Liberation newspaper quoted multiple music industry experts who said the <br>
<br>
July 26th performance was 'without a shadow of a doubt' pre-recorded.<br>

In turn, representatives for the Paris 2024 organisers refused to <br>
<br>
answer questions on the scandal, despite previously insisting that the performance was indeed a live <br>
<br>
one.<br>

In comments that were republished across French <br>
<br>
media, a sound engineer who asked to remain anonymous said: 'It was 100% playback, you can hear it <br>
<br>
from the first notes.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Others said it was 'without a shadow of a doubt' pre-recorded, <br>
<br>
as was a performance by Ms Dion in rehearsals.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A YouTuber musician who uses the name Wings of Pegasus said the rehearsal and <br>
<br>
actual performance also sounded exactly the same - something that is technically impossible, as there will always be variations <br>
<br>
between any two versions of a live song.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Olympics performance was meant to be a triumphant comeback for Ms Dion, who has been battling the incurable stiff-person syndrome.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hymne à L'amour was chosen because it was originally sung by the late French music icon Edith Piaf.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thousands of fans took to social media to praise Ms Dion, whose greatest <br>
<br>
hits include 'My Heart Will Go On', the theme from the Titanic movie.<br>

One said: 'Ok I'm proper emotional at Celine's performance, just <br>
<br>
wow!', while another gushed: 'Queen Celine is back and she sounds fantastic'.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It was in 2022 that Ms Dion disclosed that she had been diagnosed with the neurological disorder stiff-person syndrome which causes <br>
<br>
muscles to stiffen and spasm.<br>

Around 104,000 people paid for tickets to watch the Paris 2024 Opening <br>
<br>
Ceremony live, with the best seats costing more than £2500.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

Despite heavy rain, many sat through multiple acts, including a pre-recorded one by Lady <br>
<br>
Gaga, which was shown on multiple screens along the river, as well as around the world.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But Ms Dion's performance was meant to be a live one, and it has just been released <br>
<br>
as such on various streaming platforms.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Ms Dion announced on Instagram on Thursday that the 'live' recording was available on sites such as YouTube and Spotify.<br>
