The Shows Were Loved by Both Critics and the Public
Both the public and critics were blown away by Céline’s first proper concert tour. She was compared by critics to other French-language singers like Édith Piaf, and it was said that she was able to touch people in a remarkable way through her singing. The show was also more commercially successful than had been expected, and she ended up performing 42 shows around Canada. The concert she performed at the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier in Montreal was also recorded and released on cassette that year.
But Then She Took Some Time off to Grow Up
While René was confident in Céline, he felt her image was not one that was likely to make her a global star, and so he advised her to take some time off from performing in order to develop more in this respect. In order for her to become a global star, she needed badly to improve her English and spent the time off taking lessons and she feels that this time allowed her the space to finally become a woman.
