Powerful and sensitive, Jeanick Fournier shone with all her fire in a Capitol Theater filled with admirers totally won over to the cause of the singer from Saguenay, Friday evening.
From one end to the other of this breathtaking vocal performance, the one that made itself known throughout the country by winning the television competition this spring Canada’s Got Talent and the crowd vibrated in tune.
All this love directed towards her has also moved the singer.
Jeanick Fournier had just received loud applause from the public, admiring his vocal prowess in the chorus of It’s All Coming Back To Me Nowwhen the voice of the artist from Saguenay broke under the blow of emotion during the finale of the success of Celine Dion.
“It starts with crying,” the 50-year-old woman could only see, wiping the corners of her eyes, a broad smile lighting up her face.
Like a fish in water
Even if the general public has just discovered it, Jeanick Fournier is far from being a rookie. She has been singing for 40 years and has presented her tribute show to Céline for fifteen years.
It looks. On the boards, supported by six musicians and two singers, she is like a fish in water.
She can do whatever she wants with her amazing vocal cords. Strong and agile, she can hold notes for a long time that ordinary mortals don’t even dare to dream of. At this level, his interpretation of I Surrenderthe title which allowed him to seduce the judges of Canada’s Got Talentwas nothing short of breathtaking.
Charismatic
She also exudes an undeniable charisma. With a glance or a smile, she manages to translate the emotions of a song with disconcerting ease. His cover inspired by For you to love me again was eloquent proof of this.
We also had the touching visit of her two children with Down syndrome, Yohan and Emma, who accompanied her during My loves, my children.
In addition to nearly thirty titles by Céline, including several that the star hasn’t done for a long time, Jeanick Fournier has also sung two original compositions, the already appreciated Moment and it will be finetaken from his album released a few weeks ago on the Universal label.
Succession of heavyweights
Returning from the intermission, she once again referred to her extraordinary TV adventure by launching the second part of the concert to the sound of The Show Must Go Oncover of Queen that she had sung in the final.
She then lined up several crowd favorites. The dynamic potpourri formed by I’m Alive, I Drove All Night and union made the floor dance, in what served as an aperitif to the main meal.
On the menu ? Heavyweights. Strong, which she served without flinching. Love still exists, fly and If it were enough to loveall in vulnerability, have thus led us to my heart Will Go On.
Finally, Jeanick Fournier, imperial, concluded the evening by stirring up the crowd to the sound of All By Myselfa vocal challenge that she took up as if nothing had happened.
Frankly impressive.
