Celine Dion lines up 2008 beijing olympics games concert

It has been reported that Celine Dion is interested to perform at the Beijing Olympics 2008. She has submitted an entry into the 2008 Beijing Olympic theme song competition.

The Grammy Award winner said via video at a news briefing in Beijing on yesterday that she would prepare well for the song and believed it would reflect the “One World, One Dream” concept of the event of 2008 Beijing Olympics. The 39-year-old multiple Grammy Award winner has scheduled a stop on her worldwide tour at the newly renovated Workers' Stadium in the Chinese capital on April 13, which will be part of Beijing's official celebration of the Games.
