Hi everybody, how does Celine Dion do the reduction for the word "FOR" by 0:12 in this video... "just for fun"....sounds too dificult to hear that.... it doesn't like /fər/

All by myself Celine Dion with lyrics - YouTube

To me it sounds like /ffʌn/. if there is a schwa (/ə/) after the first /f/, it is very short

That's funny... to me it sounds like after "just" /əf/ /fʌn/
