Celine Dion is pregnant with an embryo that was frozen for eight years, her fertility doctor revealed.

The singer has revealed she is expecting her second child with husband Rene Angelil - a little brother or sister for the couple's eight-year-old son Rene-Charles.

And fertility specialist Dr. Zev Rosenwaks has revealed he implanted an embryo in the 41 year old's womb that had been frozen in liquid nitrogen since the in vitro fertilization that helped her conceive Rene-Charles.

Actually, she has a rather powerful voice and perfect pitch ... for a skinny Canadian.

I think you’re right about the Koreans, at least the old-school ones. It will be interesting to see how this pregnancy goes considering she is barely pregnant so it’s a surprise she announced so early. I don’t think they’ve even seen the heartbeat yet.

I had heard that the other embryo was a twin, but I don’t know if that is possible with in vitro. Yes, this is as strange as she is.

How aware of pitch correction technology are you? Unless you have heard her sing without any microphones (no signal path other than the air), perfect pitch could be the result of something other than a great voice.

Reading the various music trade mags can be quite enlightening.

I like her music. Ruin it for yourself if you must, but I will continue to like her music. I think she’s a rather neat person, too.

Jump to conclusions much?

I’m just pointing out that perfect pitch can be had electronically, and the real thing is exceedingly rare.

Hell, I love Bob Dylan, I have no problem with a folks being a little less than perfect.

No intent to jump on your enjoyment of Celine. Just a comment on the nature of perfect pitch.

“Perfect pitch” is something other than singing in tune, which seems to be what you are discussing. Perfect pitch is about the ability to create or generate a note/frequency accurately from memory, or to identify the frequency/note of a played tone.

It can occur without the ability to carry a tune, and is unusual even among the greatest musical talents, since it is entirely unnecessary to perform perfectly. More like a parlor trick than anything, but probably some correlation with musical talent.
