I don’t know… I have a feeling she’s deliberately distanced herself from Eurovision ever since she’s had bigger achievements to her name. Sure, she won’t deny it and can’t erase it but I think the only part that she truly cherishes about the whole experience is what it meant for her relationship with René. The memories of that first “kiss” undoubtedly overshadow anything else that happened on that night of 30 April 1988 or the period surrounding it. And you know Eurovision isn’t universally acclaimed in Europe, certainly not these days.

Was she invited before in Eurovision? Of course except the 80s era. Because this is my first time seeing Eurovision inviting her

She sent a message to the Eurovision in Dublin in 1997. That's the only contact with Eurovision after the 80s. I think, she distanced herself from that show.

She’s just always been busy doing shows when this has taken place but she should find time for it hopefully next year

Moritz Stadler, the Executive Co-Producer of Eurovision 2025, spoke to the Eurovis-Huns podcast - and refused to deny Celin's involvement. He said: "We’re building up a great show. And you are right, Celine Dion is a legend!" In a bid to tease further, he added: "I’m not going to tell you right now. I’m sure you understand because you guys need to have a bit of suspense between now and next May."

There you have it

[Céline RO]

Oh God it’s like Paris all over again lol

[comingback]

Could be true. She could promote the new English album in Europe then.

[Céline RO]

At this point anything could be true. I choose to remain optimistic and enjoy everything as it comes

We will have an answer during the previous days to the show, not before.

It would be great of course, but what if she appears only to lip one or two songs and disappears for another 8 months?

I think the same!

[ryba]

I don't think they can pay her enough so that she would make an effort and go there. Also, she has been distancing herself from this for 37 years. Why would she now return?

I must be alone in hoping she doesn’t return to Eurovision to be honest.

It shouldn’t even be about money…

If she’s well enough, and happy enough to travel there… it’s about history, memories, marking it, giving back, celebrating it, showing artists this year just how far they can go thanks to the contest and what she has done and ultimately pleasing global Céline fans in the process

Everybody benefits

It's also great exposure and the moment to drop a new album and vegas dates.
Maybe that's why everything is taking so long.
And maybe it's just a lipped performance and another silence for 6 months. Who knows. �

It's a little bit more symbolic now because it's in Switzerland, which she won for.

Also, I don't understand this "distancing" thing. Didn't Celine record at least two messages for contestants from France to support them or am I misremembering?

She also mentioned Eurovision in several of her interviews.

I just don't understand what people believe her attachment should have been. She's not a small local star like Serduchka, Mans or Rybak who always come back to Eurovision because they are otherwise irrelevant.

Moreover, Celine is not even European, so she's not attached to it in any way.

The worst-case scenario is Celine sings Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi

I hope she actually has a new song in French.

[Shamrock_1982]

I think a little medley would be great.

Starting with her Eurovision song, moving into IACBTMN, MHWGO and ending on an uptempo like RDMH for example with a quick costume change and dancers.

Showing how she’s grown throughout her career, as she already performed TPOL & IA in the Middle East.

Just an idea.

[comingback]

I don't think that she will come, except she has something to promote (new album, Vegas).

[stevo]

If she does appear at the ESC, she really must perform live- she at some point needs to show she can still do it and while just seeing her on stage has been wonderful and she’s looked so happy and healthy, if there is to be any future in performing in Vegas or anywhere else, we have to know she can still sing. Because she’s a singer.

[ryba]

Whatever she sings, I just hope she will not appear with that annoying bun

How has she actively and blatantly distanced herself from Eurovision?

I hope she wears two buns. One on both sides of her head.
