Celine Concert Becomes Part of a Social Experiment
February 5 , 2010

In 2008 Robyn Okrant set out on an interesting social experiment; one she never suspected would lead her to a Celine Dion concert. The task - to spend a full year living by Oprah's wise words as given every day during her show. In October 2008 Celine made an appearance on The Oprah Show and performed live. Oprah exclaimed to her viewers that they must all, at least once in their lifetime attend a Celine Dion concert. With Celine's Taking Chances World Tour making a stop a few weeks later in Chicago, Robyn accepted her task. She loved Celine's show and was surprised to realize that she knew most of the songs too! Robyn's one-year project has been published in a recently released book entitled "Living Oprah".

She would tap her answers into the mouthpiece. One tap meant yes, two taps meant no.

Celine on Receiving her Honorary Doctorate from Laval University
February 2 , 2010

"Receiving an honorary doctorate was intimidating for me, the little girl from Charlemagne, Quebec who didn't go to school for long.

-Celine Dion
