I'm 18 years old. Crazy fan since 2002 but I like her music since 1997, even earlier. My parents used to play D'eux tape on the car's radio, and they told me it was the only music I wanted to hear.

moi j'ai 24 ans , je suis fan depuis 1995 , ma soeur avais reçu en cadeau l'album D'eux et je lui volé tout le temps pour l'écouté dans ma chambre depuis j’achète tout ses albums

I'm 24 years old , I'm a fan since 1995, my sister had received as a gift album "D'eux" and I flew all the time for listening to my room since I buy all his albums

[tiniann88]

I'm 23 and I bought a couple of her albums in the 90s when I was little (FIY and LTAL) But, I wasn't a huge fan until 2010 when I saw A New Day... DVD and became obsessed.  I have now been buying all of her albums and singles on ebay (even the french ones and i don't know french yet)

Anywhos, my 12 year old cousin is a fan of Celine's too.

I´m 32. I ´m fan since 1996 when I saw video It´s all coming back to me now, but my first album I bought was SSDA, maybe it´s a reason why I like her french albums more than english.

[luislovesceline]

I am 21, and i have been fascinated by her music since 2007 when my french teacher put some french hits to the class; of course was Sous le vent ( it was amazing, every minute i was listening to it) With this i also loved Garou's music ( Jusqu'a me perdre) Then it came Ne partez pas sans moi.
I think the interest on Celine's music begins in a French class, Vive notre grandiose Celine!

I'm 30 years old and i've been a fan for 17 years now since think twice / PQTME....

[caitlynceline56]

I'm 19 (turning 20 in less than a month) and have been a fan since July 17, 2011. Like Daniel, I had known her name for many years, but I didn't pay attention to her until last summer when I watched Through the Eyes of the World. It was instant love.

I was surprised to see that 20% of the voters are in my age group!

[charo]

I'm 35 years old and I've been a fan since 1988, I was 11 and was watching the Eurovision Song Contest on TV when I saw her perform (Ne partez pas sans moi) for the very first time

I discovered Celine in 1992, when I was 8. And it has been 20 years now. Oh, how time flies!

It truly does

My first time to see Celine (in person) was when she did her Taking Chances World Tour.  That was such a HUGE thrill for me!!!!!

Me too and I loved every second of it

I'm 22 and ive been a fan for 16 years. I can't even really remember my life without Celine.

I think I was born to love Céline's music and personality

Celinefanatic07, on Mar 11 2012, 06:12 PM, said:

Uhm....  
And actually Celine is still pretty young, 44 is the new 35.
BTW. I am 21 and I've been a dedicated fan since birth (literally). She's my hero.

44 is the new 20 to me as Céline does more now than I've done my entire life
She is The Reason I Go On!

Might also mention my son Matthew is 7years old and has been a fan since the day he was conceived

It's so nice to see younger people in love with Celine.

I'm 26, been a fan for 13 years now. Am not as crazy about her as I used to be, but she's still one of my favorites. I don't care as much about her personal life, but her music and her voice still touch me.

[Celinefanatic07]

In a way, I was born to be a fan of hers. It's so funny because I was not introduced to her by my parents, fate brought us together. The day of my birth I received BATB from someone and that was the first movie I ever watched. And "Beauty and the Beast" was my lullaby, I could NOT go to sleep without hearing her sing. I didn't know who she was til Titanic, when I was 6 and everything just catapultied from there.  I love her more for the incredible person that she is, than the voice. But Ofcourse I could never live without the voice. So bascially I could never live without her!

I think the average age of users of this forum is lower than the average age of people who go to a Celine concert. One thing Ive noticed is that many people at her Vegas shows and who were in the less expensive sections of the TC tour were 40-50+

LOL!!!  Well, as I have stated before, I am 55.  I guess teaching high school students helps to "keep me young"!!   Anyway, I get on the forum every day.  My students get "a kick" out of teasing me about my obsession with Celine!!!  

I'll be sitting in FORCH 4 Row FF this summer!  I guess I'll start looking around to see how young everyone is!!  I didn't know that I was choosing the "young people's section".  I thought that it was because I wanted to be close to Celine, and feel like I was actually at the show!!!  

[Claudette]

I too think that the results of this poll are a bit inaccurate as many of Celine's older fans obviously do not make use of the forum. It is an interesting poll though because it just goes to show that she has a lot of younger fans too. I wonder if Celine and Rene are even aware of how many fans she has that are under 30. I really wish they would start taking that into consideration when it comes to making song choices.

[LittleLiv]

I'm 15 but getting 16 very soon, so I've choosen the 16 to 20 thing oh my god, I kind of feel like a baby.

I agree Claudette that it might seem like a lot of Celine's older fans don't make use of the forum.  I for one do "check out the news" daily, but I don't always post.  Maybe there are others like me on the forum who don't post often as well.  Some days I post more than others, and that's because I'm usually at work or busy grading papers etc. at night.  Right now I'm on "Spring Break".  Maybe there are those, like me, who think that nobody would care to hear about what we have to say!!  I'll be honest, 'cause that is one reason that stops me from posting sometimes.  I know.............I shouldn't feel that way, right?  We're all friends on this forum, 'cause we all love Celine and that makes us "a family"!!

Anyway, I do love the fact that there are so many young Celine fans.  My youngest son is the age of so many on this forum, and he finds it hard to believe that there are so many people close to his age that love Celine.  I guess he figures that since his mom likes her, then she's evidently an "older person's" type of singer!!  Of course, my daughter loves Celine and she's 3 years older than him.  She doesn't get on the forums tho'.  I'm the one that keeps her "in the know" about Celine and also for many of my friends.  They don't visit the forum either, but they want me to keep them informed about everything relating to Celine.  

Most of my own students don't know about Celine, because they were not born before 1994 - 1995 (at least the ones that I'm teaching right now).  In fact, a lot of them were born about the time that the "Titanic" movie came out.  So, most of the time they don't even know who Celine is when I mention her.  Of course, every once in a while one of them will say, "She's the Titantic" movie singer!!  So, I'm always thrilled to be able to tell everyone about how many younger people, around the world, love Celine!  I figure that helps them to realize that maybe they're missing out on something great!!!   I've been teaching for quite a while now, but the ones that I taught back in "the 90's" knew who Celine was and they liked her.  It's hard for me to believe that I'm now teaching children who were born so close to the year 2000!  I find that so hard to wrap my mind around!!!  It's like, "How did I get so old"?????  

I'm so thrilled that there are so many on this forum that are in the "younger age brackets".  We all have "exceptional taste in music"!!!      I do hope that Celine and Rene do acknowledge this age group, because by choosing certain material it might help reach more around the world and therefore carry Celine's voice for many more years to come!!!  I would love it if my own students started taking notice of Celine, and realized that they had been missing the joy of listening to her!!  Of course, I ultimately want Celine to "stay true to herself".  I think that in itself gives her "staying power", and what endears her to so many!!  

[Peppercorn1991]

Yeah, thats something we all have in common "A great taste in music" hehe lol

kevx

[Clari]

I always thought the majority was in their late 20s early 30s looks like that age group is ahead. 28 here, been a fan for 15 years (wow!)

[Shon]

Im 19 almost 20, but im sort-of a newbie fan! haha.
when titanic came out, my sister and I would always sing a-long to my heart will go on and it is still one of our favourite songs, but i didnt really know or pay attention to celine then. Then when i got my first job i decided to buy her LTAL & AND albums and loved it, but it was when i saw a glimpse of Through the eyes of the world when i really started to take notice, and thought she was absolutley awesome! and so i started to go on ebay and collect EVERYTHING i could about celine!

I live in australia, so i dont hear much about her in the news, and none of my friends listen to her.
So this forum is grea! to hear other people my age adore her is refreshing in a way!

Also, i think its great that celine doesnt just have one age group like other artists do.
And agree that we're all like family

It looks like a lot of people become fans around the age of 12-16 I myself became a fan 4 years ago when i was 13

[light_secret]

I am 28 years old...I first heard Celine when I was 9 years old thru the song The Power of Love...I could not forgot the voice and since then I became a huge fan of her until this very moment...her voice and music open doors and windows for the love of music...she's just magical.  

[Yentl Anchel]

Yeah me too! Where did all the time go.... But regarding this topic, I think there are many mre fans out there who are 30+ or even 40+ but those fans are not using the internet we do... The probb never use twitter, facebook forum or any other social media..

[Prima_Donna1]

I am 30 yrs old. I first heard Celine sing IYAMT on the radio back in 92 when I was just 10 though she had me at BYLM back in 96. I was 14 at the time. From 1996-2004 I was her hugest crazy fan and loved her to pieces until I got into other things. Now it's 2012 and I just got back into her music, and other things. Also it's nice to see a lot of young fans here.
