Let's hope she's a drunken mess so that Celine outshines her in every way possible.

Buzz off already. I'm so over this inexplicable, constant whining. And the name of the group is Queen.

she is NOT paying a tribute to Queen. Just because she's singing their song, doesn't make it a tribute. This song choice is a tribute to HERSELF, to Rene, to her fans to the music industry! No matter what is going on, her show will go on! I get that you don't like she's singing a cover, but seriously, get over it!

The show must go on, yeah
The Show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

I'll top the bill

I have to find the will to carry on

I agree 100%. Not every cover is a tribute. Celine is singing this song because it has tremendous emotional resonance at this point in her life.

[smw]

Prince passed away. Madonna was close with Prince and had a lot of respect for him. It makes sense for her to pay tribute.

I think there's something kind of lovely about Madonna being part of the same show where Celine Dion is honored with the "Icon" award. It will show Madonna fans who maybe didn't respect Celine (the way that we do) that Celine is the real deal and is still relevant! (I honestly think that Madonna wishes that she could have changed the face of Las Vegas the way Celine did. She would never admit that. Thank God Rene was the genius he was! What a legacy he's left.)

It's fantastic that Celine is making a huge appearance like this. And I'm so glad she's not just going to present an award again. That was fine and lovely for the past couple of years but now it's time for it to be about HER again. She needs to remind the Beyonce fans and Britney fans, etc. who the real QUEEN is. Celine Dion is THE VOICE of today. Celine's a real singer and those young fans need to be schooled.

Additionally --

I've been thinking a lot about how Celine has been respected in Canada/France as an Icon for far longer than she has in the United States. Which makes sense -- since her French career is quite different than her English one. She has created more meaningful music in French and she has been singing in French for a lot longer.

I've been a bit concerned about Celine's English career in recent years. I just wasn't sure how Celine would be remembered. She dominated the 90s. But since returning from her break in 2002, she made the decision to not chase the charts anymore.

There is something so nice about Celine receiving this ICON award. Because this is for all the English speaking fans to see.

Her legacy is now coming into focus for me. Celine Dion changed the face of Las Vegas by taking a HUGE risk and making it THE place to perform.

Also, I think Celine is gaining a lot of respect from her peers and critics these days -- now that they see she is continuing on without Rene by her side. That shows a lot of strength that those folks maybe didn't think she had within her. We've known Celine is a strong, fierce woman -- but now the world is seeing it too. And it was great to see that she is one of the most respected women in the world. It makes me more proud than ever to be such a devoted fan.

In movies/screenplays -- the "hero" cannot truly claim his/her destiny without their mentor dying. The mentor cannot complete the journey with the hero. Now that Rene is gone, Celine is finally being crowned an Icon.

So incredibly happy for her and so happy that her legacy in English speaking areas is still rising and strong.

I hate to say this, but if Madonna ends up being a drunken mess it will probably take alot of the spotlight off Celine and put it directly on Madonna. People love to see messed up craziness. The more crazy, the more attention you get.

That is what people are drawn to. Unfortunately that is why we have paparazzi, Miley Cyrus and the Kardashians.

But the thing that gets my goat, and everybody else is WHY DONT Radio's play her anymore, that's the knife in my heart, Maybe after this they need to RESPECT her more these days

[pat200]

for her to show who today's VOICE is she HAS to put a spectacular vocal performance, which since late last year have almost been the opposite most of the time.

I just hope for no cable mic ,i hate it and dont know why

if she uses the corded mic, she surely won't have any mic issues, as there will be no interference or feedback, like with Dance with My Father performance.

Or let's hope that  her voice cracks horribly while trying to hit a high note, and Celine comes on stage singing circles around her, showing the world what a B grade singer she really is.

I'll never understand why some people are so worried about Madonna. Some are hoping she has a bad performance for what? You can love Cèline and like Madonna, or at the very least respect her artistry.

Kind of disappointing that some fans here think Cèline is the only singer in the world who has talent. Let's grow up here.

Madonna certainly has NO talent as a singer FACT! Now she can put on all the Halloween costumes she likes, but it definable doesn't amount to talent. Artisry, sure, but as far as talent goes, I don't think there is any. I don't think people are "worried" about Madonna, I think they are concerned with how much publicity Celine gets from this performance. With acts such as Rihanna,Ariana,Demi,Justin,Britney,Madonna etc. performing, she really is being overshadowed. She rarely gets this opportunity to perform at big events and to be outshined by teeny boppers, trash, strippers and the crypt keeper is extremely upsetting.
Personally, I think even with these 🚮 performers, Céline will shine brightly anyways. She'll get her moment, her award, her time to shine.

I think Celine was trending #1 on Twitter when she was on The Voice finale. I never saw this coming (I might be wrong cause I'm not on Twitter).

But point is she might shine again and overshadow the others...

[powerofamor17]

She was, I remember that. She was also trending when she presented at the BBMA'S last year, when she performed at the AMAS on Twitter, Facebook and Google. I also believe when she returned on Feb.23, she was trending on Facebook and Twitter.

I hate to start a Madonna war here but your opinion comes off as a statement and is a bit asinine. Madonna does have talent and can hold a tune. It is not on the same level as Celine but none the less she does have talent.

Céline changed the face of Vegas, while Madonna changed her own face.

Sorry I just do not see it. Madonna is simply a decorated scarecrow with a gap. The only thing I see as "asinine" is Madonna's attempt for relevance and your belief in her vocal talent.

I concur. What is with all the bashing of other singers? And complaining that Celine is being overshadowed by other performers?! It's a music awards show. Celine is being honoured. Stop yapping.

You were born the same year as Celine's most boring English album. Does that mean you're an ill attempt at being relevant.
Now let's talk about your gaps, toots.

[actofcontrition]

Madonna no talent as a singer?? Did you ever watch EVITA ?? Or listen to the Ray of light, Music, Like a prayer, Confessions on a dancefloor albums for example. I dont understand all the bashing. Celine and Madonna are my all time favorite singer. Ok Madonna doesnt have the voice of Celine so what?? But I prefer much much much more the artistry of Madonna over Celine singing the same setlist since 1992. At least Madonna is trying things on every tour like this year in australia with a one night show with songs she never or almost never sang.

Celine is gonna sing at the billboards : YAY
Madonna is gonna sing at the billboards : YAY

2 singers that have more than 30 years of career : YAYYYY!

So no need to insult anybody

[Nmj]

This is the "Celine Dion Forum"

This IS NOT the "Bash every singer other than Celine Dion Forum"

Do some of these weirdos here think they are cheating on Celine if they like or respect other artists?? If so that's a little creepy and weird.

I've been cheating honey...
