"You And I" is the official Hillary Clinton campaign song!

[maxceline]

great chance for celine and for us

[kathyc25]

They`re Republicans? And how do we know that Hillary stands for everything that Celine is against if Celine isn`t political?

I just assume the Celine fans who don't like must be because of Hillary. So they must have a reason to dislike Hillary that much. So I think they're Republicans.

 

Yes, you`re probably right.

[Belle Céline]

I saw that yesterday on CNN and I think it is AWESOME!

 

btw I've been here two years now,just got an email about it!

 

hehe!

[Céline's Blues]

Wow. I'm loving the hype around this song right now. It will make many ppl like this song or even notice it and that clip on Hillary Clinton's site when she browses through the juke box is really neat.

 

Here a site about it, sorry if it has been posted before:

Why do so many of you dislike Hillary so much? I`m just curious.

The Republicans.

yea you hit the nail on the head right there

 

 

They`re Republicans? And how do we know that Hillary stands for everything that Celine is against if Celine isn`t political?

well who said Celine isnt political. she's covertly political, and not overtly political, she went on LArry King and critisized the iraq war and the goverment. i dont know what you call that. obviously she does NOT like this governement... Hillary and Celine shares the same political views, Celine is pro-gay and pro-abortion and is a democrat.

OMG, this news is on CCTV news program right now!!!! MIllions Chinese would know this too!!! It also says "You And I" get millions clicks on Hillary website.

[Mozinha]

Whoever quits being a Celine fan because her song is the official campaign song for the Democrats.... is seriously stupid. Even if she was an open democrat, so what? Does it make her a worse singer? Of course not. Most of the singers I like... I couldn't care less if they're republican and democrat. Even for the Portuguese ones, I couldn't care less what party they support.

René speaks!!

 

Selon René Angélil, joint hier soir, Céline Dion est «très contente». «Ce n'est pas la première fois que des fans choisissent ses chansons. Ils en prennent pour toutes sortes d'occasions : des mariages, des baptêmes, des enterrements. Tout le monde a le droit de se servir des chansons de Céline.» En Angleterre, la chanson la plus entendue lors de funérailles est My Heart Will Go On>, a ajouté le mari et imprésario de Céline Dion.

 

Il ne trouve pas paradoxal qu'une chanson d'une Canadienne, clairement identifiée à un produit canadien, plaise tellement aux Américains qu'ils acceptent qu'elle devienne la chanson phare d'une campagne électorale chez eux.

 

S'extirpant d'un tournoi de cartes des World Series of Poker à Las Vegas, il a souligné que Céline Dion est souvent sollicitée pour des rassemblements américains. «En 1996, aux Jeux olympiques d'Atlanta, c'est Céline qui avait chanté aux cérémonies d'ouverture. Après le 11 septembre, c'est elle qui avait chanté le God Bless America.»

 

Quant aux implications politiques, pas moyen de savoir si le couple Dion-Angélil penche du côté démocrate ou républicain. «On ne fait pas de politique. On ne s'engage dans aucun camp. Céline est touchée mais pas pour des raisons politiques.»

 

Jacques Duval, celui qui a concocté l'immense campagne mondiale pour relancer Air Canada après ses déboires financiers, s'est dit honoré. «C'est très flatteur. J'ai écrit à Aldo Nova (qui a composé la musique et une partie des paroles) pour l'avertir.» Selon lui, la chanson est un excellent choix. «C'est une feel good song. Rassembleuse, optimiste, pleine d'espoir et d'énergie. Parfaite pour Mme Clinton. Le You, qui s'adresse à tout le monde, et le I, qui demande de se fixer sur elle. On le sent dans ses yeux.»

 

La chanson avait contribué à relancer la compagnie et le Canada. «Air Canada a fait 30 millions après la campagne. On espérait 5 ou 6 millions.»

 

So he said that Celine is very happy. It's not the first time that fans choose her song, in England they choose MHWGO for funeral..

And he didn't want to say if he's democrat or republicain, he said we don't do politic, we don't engage in any camp. Celine is touch but not for politic reasons.

I couldn`t agree with you more

[stevo]

From http://www.hillaryclinton.com/blog/view/?i...2#view_comments

 

"jeez. Celine Dion makes me and most people I know want to do physical damage to our ears just to avoid hearing her. People still fondly recall the last time I had to go to the doctor to get the green beans removed from my ears.

 

Plus she is not an American. Is outsourcing a theme of the Hillary campaign? "

 

"I think the Celine choice is a good one! Let's stoop so low as to start accusing Hillary of being un-American for choosing the song just because Celine is Canadian. Celine has had a top show in Las Vegas for a while now, which has employed many Americans, not to mention those employed by her US tours, etc. The video was great; excellent display of your sense of humor. I am sure that will be one of the most helpful traits to maintain your sanity when elected. "

 

2 conflicting opinions which seems to be the norm for anything Celine's involved in

[krazy_kool_dude]

well i must say, for a track that was "a left over" it sure is getting it's way around enough!

[Céline's Blues]

Only proves how much of a cultural icon Céline is, stevo. She is loved and hated - two reasons that mark an icon. Amazing publicity for her new English album.

[Bellamy]

So he said that Celine is very happy. It's not the first time that fans choose her song, in England they choose MHWGO for funeral..

And he didn't want to say if he's democrat or republicain, he said we don't do politic, we don't engage in any camp. Celine is touch but not for politic reasons.

Funny, Rene has to compare choose MHWGO for funeral with this. So he's still being very carefully, not to express their political opinion, and don't want to be involved in any camp.

[one heart]

thanks news !!! celine is great !!!

[KimboCosmo]

sorry but i'm not voting for anything that will assiciate celine w/ hillary clinton lol

AMEN! I cannot stand that woman at all. Besides, like others are saying, Celine has never really talked "politics", and I don't think she should start...horrible career move! AND Hillary stands for so many things Celine DOESN'T. So weird?... Actually, this makes me really think different of Celine...I love her so much, and always have, so if she was to start talking politics, she would loose alot of fans.

well your prolly a republican thats why youre taking trash at Hillary and Celine. Celine doesn't need your approval to go into politics. . She can have an opinion on things , how dare you say it will make u think diffeerently of her as if you matter so much ? Celine already in politics when she critisized the bush administration or should i say "mis-administration" on larry king for not helping the vitcims of hurricane katrina.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I never said Celine needed my approval, and before you start bashing me, I think you should step back....you don't know me, or anything about me. And, you are wrong, again, I am not republican, and I have my reasons for not liking Hillary...but I will not go into that...and it is not anyone elses buisness. And if you don't live in the US, then why do you even care? So until you do, then don't talk smack to others like that. How rude. This will be all I say in this topic, because this is what I knew would happen...you cannot talk politics with others with such different views on everything...there is bound to be an argument started at some point in time!

that site is incomplete,

[smw]

This morning on the view, Oprah's friend, Gayle King was guest host. They showed the clip of Hillary and Bill in the diner - then they talked about it. They said they liked the video, and they liked there was a hint to which song it was when Hillary was flipping through the songs. They went onto talk about how it was a good choice to choose Celine. Then, Joy talked about the whole Canadian thing.....

 

It will probably show up on youtube! haha

[SuperLove4Celine]

I'm really hoping that with this huge amount of publicity for the song that "You And I" will either be suddenly put into A New Day... (yeah, I know, it won't happen, but I can dream), and/or that it will become part of the set list for her tour next year.

 

I would just love to hear and see her perform the song live - and I don't mean with a bunch of weird flight attendants. LOL

Celine for president

 

Celine Dion and Hillary ClintonHillary Clinton's game of "Campaign Song Idol" is over. After just less than a month of voting, the public has decided that Celine Dion's "You and I" will provide the soundtrack to the candidate's presidential campaign. Not without some confusion though. Maureen Dowd and others wrote that Clinton "picked" the song, but Sen. Clinton's press office tells Salon that "You and I" was selected via an online vote. Either way, the song's bathetic strains are set to spill forth from tinny assembly-hall P.A. systems, soundtracking the candidate's post-speech waving and baby kissing.

 

But what does the choice of "You and I" say about Clinton supporters? For one, it says they're pretty darn regular. Dion has notched four No. 1 albums in the U.S. and sold more 100 million records worldwide. A Celine Dion song is about as mainstream as music gets. The song choice doesn't say much for the creativity of the voters, though. There is no subtlety in Celine Dion songs, no emotional nuance. A song like "You and I" seems born of a shiny, peppy, prefabricated world, one where Neil Diamond's pander genius makes mechanical love to Liza Minnelli's Broadway brio. It's no wonder that people so enamored of a politician that they would vote for her campaign song picked a tune so ardently one-dimensional.

 

You can listen to "You and I" on Clinton's Web site. If you do, you'll hear the song open to the major chords of an ersatz rock guitar, soon joined by a gently burbling synth in an aural evocation of sunny optimism. It's not long before Dion, the Clinton proxy, joins in, bringing a full-throated message of hope. Key lyric: "Brighter than the sun and darker than the night/ I can see your love shining like a light." It's a nice opening, but Celine Dion, like a politician, isn't really about nice. She's about shrewdly winning you over. When the chorus comes, and Dion trains her destructo-beam voice on those poor vowel sounds and blows them into the stratosphere, a powerful argument has been made. You can either recoil at Dion's superhuman abilities or succumb to them. As the sales numbers mentioned above suggest, a significant number of people have chosen the latter course.

 

The rigorously analytical part (the whole?) of Clinton's brain must be thrilled with her new song. Dripping with bombast and sagging with schmaltz, "You and I" is the musical equivalent of all-you-can-gorge buffets and "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" It's simple, direct and popular -- three qualities Clinton is surely happy to align herself with.

[Celine-Express]

I see him yesterday, very great for Celine, good promotion !

[Teodora]

The best thing about this whole thing is that Celine is getting publicity. Good or bad, it doesn't matter, what's important is that people see her in the news, read about her in the papers as much as possible, because she's got albums coming out and a world tour to sell out. I didn't read Hillary's views on things on her website, because I don't really care, to be honest. But I've always liked the Clintons, maybe because they've always been Celine fans I want Hillary to win simply because she's a woman, and I'm in the feminist phase of my life right now, it seems I have no particular feelings about "You and I". I don't hate it, I don't love it. I think it's just a nice song, with a title that suits this kind of things....and the lyrics too... What is amazing to me is that Americans think of Celine as one of their own. Like Rene said, they chose her to sing the most emblematic Amercian song, "God Bless America", they chose her for the olympics, now for this. The French kinda think of Celine as one of their own too, I think. Remember she was chosen to sing the official song of the Olympics in case Paris won (A Paris). I love that! She's achieved something really important, she's a world citizen in a way.

Céline Dion = 100% Salon.com-approved icon. Thank you for the article, Ronny. This song may be a big winner for Céline. It already is a winner actually.

Why do so many of you dislike Hillary so much? I`m just curious.

Sorry for going off topic a little but I was asked and I answer:

 

I'm not republican and I don't like Hillary. I'm democrat wholeheartedly and I can't stand the woman. She reacts on emotion and that's not good. When David Geffen decided to support Barrack Obama and not her she got all offended that he had trashed her and her husband and said Obama should give the money back because of what Geffen said. That's so stupid. And just after 9-11, there were reports that the terrorists crossed the Canadian border to enter the USA (which we know now is totally false). She went on to say that the Canadian government needed to tighten it's security and not let terrorists enter he USA. She talks without thinking or analysing a situation and that's not the kind of person who should run a country. If she wins the election, this will be another disaster. We had to endure 8 years with a drunken lunatic and now we'll have to endure at least 4 years of emotional crap. May God save us all.

 

So Celne being associated with Hillary is not a good thing for me. She's not the devil... she's just not qualified to be the President.

[Nmj]

Ok we like to hear yor comments and sugguestions but I have some for you...Hillary may not be the BEST president in the countrys HISTORY but she doestnt have NIG shoes to fill after GEORGE w. Bush ok....a clown could lead us better than GWB but...In my eyes I believe That Hillary would be a great presient after all BILL was one of the best President of all time...So what he cheated thats his buisness...he was a good president.....George was a drugy and alcholic and now he is our worst President of all time...

 

Hillary Rodham Clinton has potential to be a good president and if she win the nomintaion she will be our next president because THE USA is so mad at Republicans that the Democrate who ever it will be will become the Leader...Qupte me at the ELECTIONS i will stand by that.

 

Hillary is well qualified...and Celine being involved with Hillary is the icing on the cake of improveing America...You and I

THANK YOU! I'm so excited to hear someone speak what my thoughts are exactly Just because there are people who doesn't like Hillary, does NOT mean we are republicans

[Say What?]

Just because there are people who doesn't like Hillary, does NOT mean we are republicans

Yeah! People should THINK before accusing us like that. It's like saying the American people who are against the Iraq war are unpatriotic

 

As for Celine, I'm sure she's a democrat. Her speaking out against Bush during the Katrina event couldn't be any clearer... yet Rene insisted not to take sides in the La Presse newspaper interview saying they don't get involved in politics and they don't support either party. Probably smart business thing to say for him and Celine but they can't fool us
