27bored February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 Celine Dion broke my heart a little bit on the red carpet when she said sometimes it feels like Rene's death was three years ago and sometimes like it's not happening. Word. Celine truly loved Rene, and he truly loved her. And you think about the fact that he'd been in her life since she was a child and now she's a woman of a certain age...it's really bittersweet. Great tribute by The Time and Bruno Mars. Prince had so many great songs, it's hard to feel a little disappointed because there weren't more. But still, that was a good tribute. Also: go Asian chick on the commercial singing "Nothing Compares 2 U". Eesh. I would've loved if that they got Sinead to sing...nevermind.
