sazzlepop123 Posted January 21, 2009 at 11:08 AM Posted January 21, 2009 at 11:08 AM I think people are having different interpretations of the word butch lol! I dont think she's butch in the sense she looks like a guy or is overly 'manly' but I do think she has some traits! It makes her HER. Here's what dictionary.com says : Exhibiting stereotypically or exaggeratedly masculine traits or appearance. Celine does have a few masculine traits - the swagger at times, way she sits, stands... I think it empowers her Quote http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c70/sarahlucy86/Celineandme12.jpg
Dion1st Posted January 21, 2009 at 12:45 PM Posted January 21, 2009 at 12:45 PM Gee, if you take away Celine's swagger when she walks, her power stance, arm movements, air guitar and all the rest of her incredible Celinish traits, then we would have the equivalent of being entertained by Celine's "wax statue" from Caesar's!! Celine has so much extraordinary energy I feel all these traits is how she releases it both on stage and off..... It's what makes her "Celine" and maybe a little tomboyish, but not so much butch. Besides, it all gets balanced off with such grace when she is out there in those beautiful gowns....unless she goes on the attack at those Japanese Sumo (sp?) wrestlers in that beautiful yellow gown she wore in Japan! lol She's just perfect.....

ThisTime Posted January 21, 2009 at 01:30 PM Posted January 21, 2009 at 01:30 PM I've always thought Celine looked boyish with the short dark hair.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK_dS70gYEkLike there, the Think Twice video, and others Maybe it's just me though Quote http://i.imgur.com/MfrTohK.gifMy Twitter || My Tumblr
Black Kitten Posted January 21, 2009 at 02:08 PM Posted January 21, 2009 at 02:08 PM watch her performance of Everybody's Talking My Baby Down in TCOML special Concert, and notice how "man" she was. but i love seeing her like that. some may find it comical, but i think she's just enjoying what she's doing and that helps her express herself more.

TWINQUIN Posted January 21, 2009 at 04:21 PM Posted January 21, 2009 at 04:21 PM ye i supose..i no i said butch but i dont even no how describe tht look of the blonde short hair....except from awful!!! i hope she never does tht again!! she is a stevo says very petite..i didnt realise how much until we met her in manchester...she even lookd shorter than what she is desribed!! what i can say thou is tht she was totly stunning her skin was emaculate...she was actually breath takin..still cant get over the fact tht i met her!! xx Quote
ce-line Posted January 21, 2009 at 08:38 PM Posted January 21, 2009 at 08:38 PM Haha! I have never thought about this... I wouldn't say that she's butch,'cause to me she's very feminine but I think I see what you mean! And we love her because she is the way she is!

Claudette Posted January 21, 2009 at 10:30 PM Posted January 21, 2009 at 10:30 PM Sure, Celine is a strong woman, but you still develop a protective feeling about her. She may be a little tomboyish at times, but she is not butch! Quote http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af51/ClaudetteRobinson/esme.jpg
Xpresso Posted January 22, 2009 at 12:44 PM Posted January 22, 2009 at 12:44 PM Céline is not butch. At times she can display some strong powerful traits, but definately NOT butch. Ellen Degeneres and Stevo on the other hand... Quote
reamary Posted January 23, 2009 at 06:38 AM Posted January 23, 2009 at 06:38 AM I don't see anything "butch-like" in Céline.. To me she's as feminine as can be, with that beautiful long wavy hair, all those pretty dresses, high heels and so on. SO beautiful and very feminine!

pascaladolphejean Posted January 24, 2009 at 10:37 AM Posted January 24, 2009 at 10:37 AM I do not remember who said it, but one of the highest compliments paid to Judy Garland was that she did not approach a song the way other female singers of the day did, and that she interpreted a song with the full all-out approach of the great male interpreters. Judy got to the heart of a song, explored its emotional core and communicated those emotions and insights to the listener. This is what made her great. I have often thought of this remark in relation to Celine (although "butch" is not the word I would use). Her ablilty to find the heart of a song, both musically and emotionally, is unique today. View her recent performance of "At Seventeen" on YouTube with this in mind. I think you'll agree. Quote
Petya Posted January 24, 2009 at 12:17 PM Posted January 24, 2009 at 12:17 PM (edited) I think her behavior depends on "What should I ware today?" It depends on the mood...and stylists That's normal for every woman, I think. Have you ever seen her performing for example MHWGO or whatever, behaving like a butch? On the other hand how could she sing Tout l'or des hommes without moving so boyish? She is into the music. I love that! It doesn't matter in which moment she is feminine or tomboyish, it suits her And I like her blonde-short-haired period too!And what about this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ0gUMgBLJc What a businessman!!!

And i'm not particularly referring to her height, but she isnt tall! She does wear massive heels all the time though so thats why people assume she is. When i saw her soundcheck, she had a dressing gown on, but still high heels. I think she wants to be tall! people always argue about her height and i wonder if its because of different height descriptions in different countries. I cant see her as being taller than 5'5, but as she wears massive heels all the time, she looks around 5'7.5 ish in them. Without heels though, no way. Shes pretty little. Everyone who meets her always notices that. She's not so skinny either - its definitley petite, not skinny, but if you dont see her right in front of you, it probably just looks skinny. She is slim, but she doesnt look sick at all. Her arms dont look too skinny, etc, they look normal weight wise, but they are just little. Her shoulders for example must go to half of mine width wise, and i'm normal size! Same for everything on her - shes just little! I actually think her petiteness makes her look like a doll. This tiny thin comes towards you, the only thing big about her is her eyes and hair! The rest is tiny! Everything! i dont think that tomboy and buch are the same. 'butch' implies, big, masculine which celine is not in any way, but when she had her short her, she looked like a little tom boy. Its was a boys cut, not a girls cut, and she's too petite to pull that off. Its cos she's so petite that she looked like a little boy!! i hated that cut. Her hair is the best ever now i think! Quote

hellmeister Posted January 24, 2009 at 10:32 PM Posted January 24, 2009 at 10:32 PM oh gosh... Celine definitely isn't "butch" ... she can be sporty/tom boyish sometimes... and even here.... she just looks... friggin adorable and hot... but not butch. Quote
SensationalCeline Posted January 24, 2009 at 10:42 PM Posted January 24, 2009 at 10:42 PM As many on here, I would NEVER consider her butch either. I think that Celine is as girly as they come. She loves SHOES for one thing and she loves dress up and everything. She might act like a boy sometimes, but she's not butch because of it. :] Quote http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg280/spoiledrottenbrat4063/Celine%20Dion/CELINESIGGY.jpg

VintageCeline Posted January 25, 2009 at 02:43 PM Posted January 25, 2009 at 02:43 PM I would never consider Celine as butch- even with the short hair. That wasn't butch- that was just a disaster. She's too petite to be called butch. The standing with legs apart on stage is just her power stance- but I don't think she goes around scratching her crotch and lifting her leg to fart or anything. She's a classy chicken x Hahaha!!! I totally agree with you! Celine is not butch at all.... This is what I class as butch - http://i29.tinypic.com/ejv7lf.jpg And is is no offence to her sexualilty, but the woman on the left has butched herself up. x Quote http://24.media.tumblr.com/94198518f8a09aef1d336d6fde8fc8b3/tumblr_mkdcezs36X1r7lwiso1_400.jpg
takeachance Posted January 25, 2009 at 10:55 PM Posted January 25, 2009 at 10:55 PM Butch is a probably not the best word to describe celine but she is definetely tomboy-ish especially more noticeable when she had the blonde hair (which i really loved by the way, she looked so cool!!!) Quote http://i66.tinypic.com/2dk08jn.gifRIP Rene Angelil xx Sending Love and Prayers to Celine
Hilda Posted January 26, 2009 at 06:25 PM Posted January 26, 2009 at 06:25 PM (edited) no way butch - just french...hahaha just some mannerisms for example how she sits sometimes and the way she raises her shoulders and smacks her hands together in a clapping motion when she laughs - more geeky than butch id say. she's quite feminine id say - just that some of her geeky mannerisms take some of that away sometimes.
