Aline, which hit theaters in 2011, was a bold bet: a true-false spin-off of the famous Celine Dion biopic. While the featurette airs this Sunday night on TF1, we answer the question you might be asking yourself: does Valerie Lemercier really sing?
We’re not going to let the suspense last: No, it’s not Valerie Lemercier who’s dissing the Dion family in this film, prompting the actor-director to react. But who is behind the microphone?
For Aline, Valerie Lemercier called Victoria Sio, the featured singer in the musical sun kingto double the voice on the sung parts. “Here again, it was a deliberate choice to step aside, to tell Aline Die’s story, not Celine Dion’s.”he explains.
“Victoria surprised me with the intelligence of her interpretations”Valerie Lemercier continues. “When I was given the freedom to play with the temporality of certain songs, Aline sang them sooner or later in relation to Celine’s career, Victoria was able to keep the emotions of each sequence as close as possible.
“Three intense months in the studio with Valerie Lemercier”said Victoria Sio during an interview she gave us at the release of the film. “And because he’s as picky as I am, sometimes the sessions were too long.”
“Because we did our best not to imitate you, a caricature”insisted the artist to our microphone. “It’s not my thing and there’s only one Celine Dion. And given that Valerie’s film is fiction and not biographical, my voice had to be fiction too. Close to Celine Dion, but the way Celine does it. Albums.”
