"We're mystified too... _{sorry about that}" - Canada

She married her father. There's nothing else to know, really.

"She still may be in a position of mockery, but in 10 years, no one will bother to make the effort."

That's my goal in life.

My mother is a professional opera singer and she though Celine Dion sucked.

/mother is also Canadian.
//mother is always right.

I love the movie Titanic. Really. One of the books I read over and over when I was a kid was A Night To Remember by Walter Lord. I was amazed when they found the Titanic, and I was very happy with the movie. I can't listen to any Celine Dion except in that farking movie. So what.

/just saying

Is this story at all related to This one? (pops)

Kyosuke: She married her father. There's nothing else to know, really.

Wait, what?

It's no mystery that she resembles a camel.

I'm not going to disparage anyone else's taste in music. Glass Houses and all that (not a Billy Joel reference).

Celine Dion walks in to a bar. The bartender asks: "Why the long face?"

I never saw Titanic. I already knew how it ended.

/same thing with the jesus chainsaw massacre

"The implication is that people who listen to her are stupid or declassé, everything about it is that this person is a loser on some level"

Amazingly, the same is probably true of most "hip hop" fans too.

/doesn't like Dion or most rap

Two things about Celine Dion.

1) When my father died, my sister wanted to play "My Heart Will Go On" at his funeral. I put my foot down and refused to let that happen. We compromised by playing some other CD song.

2) I never, ever want to lose my hearing, but (as I've been saying for nearly 10 years), if I ever do, my solace will be knowing I'll never have to hear her sing again.

But I bet she makes a mean poutine.

i'm no fan, but she sure sold a lot of $200.00 tickets to that show in vegas.

wikipedia's featured article today. irony?

it's more than a bit creepy that she met her husband when she was 12 and he's 26 years older than her.

Well, she is making more cash in a day than most people make in a lifetime. And she manages to run a pretty profitable enterprise as far as her business and marketing efforts are concerned, that lots of people enjoy and pay her for. Props to her for that.

That said, I cannot stand her music at all. Not even the Titanic warble she croaked out a while back. But that's just my taste. If others like her singing, that's fine as well.

/doesn't like Dion or most rap everything that isn't punk

I think she has a great voice but not my type of music. and she looks awkward as hell onstage trying to dance or look cool.

I don't think it's any different than people who like techno,trance,rap,metal,opera or anything else. it's all a matter of taste.

You knew about the wormhole that transported the ship and crew back to the Precambrian Era where they had to fight dinosaurs and sleestacks?

near. far. whereEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR you are.

C'mon Subby, it's not fair to call the mentally handicapped stupid and declassé. They can't help being born that way.

After her comments about the looters in New Orleans I pretty much wrote her off as just another useless producer of CO2 emmissions.

What!! Aw man. And to think of all the easy sex I passed up because I wouldn't sit in a theater for 3 hours watching dragged-out melodrama.

Don't tell me it involved ninjas and minibikes too. I might start crying.

This isn't just another example of bashing someone just to support their own sense of self worth is it? I don't like her stuff either but for her concert here in the fall some tickets are going for $500+. I personally don't know anyone who'll pay that but the event is selling out. So between stuff like that and her 10 year stint in Vegas, this sounds like some farker music post or some sour writer that just barely passed journalism class.

It is entirely possible for someone's entire fanbase to be made up of losers.

Look at the alleged "art" of Thomas Kinkade. Show me someone with a Kinkade hanging in their house and I will confidently show you a complete moron.

//Fark cut out pictures =(.

I wonder if it is some lingering pedo fascination with the development of her relationship with her manager....

CD is no worse than about 99% of the ass-chadder that passes for poplar music these days...

But then again, that's kind of like saying one type of terminal cancer is worse than another

Either way, you're still heaving your guts out and ripping your hair out in clumps...

You're about 350 million years too soon for dinosaurs.

Unlikely musicians such as Snoop Dogg and Timbaland have taken in her four-year Vegas gig, A New Day

I read about that. They were high, walked in by accident, and couldn't find the door to leave.

/Ok, that was how it was supposed to look.

It's just her voice that's grating sometimes. But if you created a mix version of every one of her hits and put Miley Cyrus as the lead vocal, then we'd be gyrating to our stereos.

That is pretty much the reputation for people who like any Canadian Music.

Does not approve, fwiend.

I'm so emabrassed that the Candian music industry has awarded her 21 Junos.

/need to cull
//start with her, Anne Murray, and Rita MacNeil

JediTemplar:

What about the sleestacks?

Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a freakin' foot!

..wait how old is Miley Cyrus again? I don't want to come across the wrong way

X the Owl: Does not approve, fwiend.

That episode was farking hysterical.

/I'm not your fwiend, buddy.

Man, look at the guns on that filly!

I have personally seen people listen to My Humps without forcing themselves not to take a screwdriver to their eyeballs, so I don't really feel one way or the other about Celine Dion. She has her audience, she does what she does and she does it well, and she didn't do My Humps. Good enough for me.

CarnySaur: Billy Joel

Now why'd you have to go and make this about evolution?

"She represents loyalty and family and romance, and a lot of people around the world relate to that, and see her as articulating those emotions in a way that they feel they are not able."

Yes. And in my experience, the emphasis should be on the words not able.

I'm not a music snob (I own Supertramp records, come on.) But there's a reason why over the top, subtlety free, openly manipulative art is seen as crass and exploitative. It's simple: that's what those words mean.

It's idiotic to judge a person's soul by the music they like, but there are times it can say something about their personality. If it didn't, why would people buy shirts, posters, etc? They want to identify themselves with what that artist/icon represents.

This isn't a matter of differing tastes so much as it's one of what is usually many indicators of personal outlook. If someone owns a Skrewdriver record, it would be silly to call them a racist just for that one possession. But if an angry looking, bald, confrontational guy with a swastika on his shirt has one...

It's an extreme example, but the basic framework still applies. If someone has a Celine Dion CD in their possession, big farking deal: entertainment doesn't have to be high art. But if someone identifies with what she represents (shallow, easy, overcooked emotion,) then it's a warning sign.

In High School, I was a Cure fanatic. Guess what? I was a mopey, depressed teenager. That was a fair call. Same here.

Everybody in the engine room drowned....
