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

[brasilero]

Thank God you're not American then

what are u going to do when Celine comes out and endorses Hillary and do campaign trails with her. because you know it's inevitable. knowing Rene as the astute business man he is, he will strike a deal with the Democratic party. Half a million dollars for 10 stop-overs consisting of a meet & greet and a mini concert of 4 songs; the songs will be LCMM, MYWGO, IA and the wives of the democratic leaders singing back-up on Y&I.

 

 

 

talking about the democratic leaders' wives... that means we'll have Bill singing too!

better than having Hillary singing

 

 

I think if something like the above were to happen, Celine would loose many many fans. I could even be one. I have lost respect for many celebrities over the years because of their hypocritical selfish political views. For Celine to endorse someone who is totally the opposite of her own morals and thinking would be a sell out.

 

Rene has been brilliant over the years. Notice that Celine and Rene NEVER seem talk politics like the other celebrities. They don't even talk about whom they may even like. Smart move. Cause politics and religion divide people, and sometimes fans.

ok that was a very presumptuous statement to make. First of all what's "wrong" with Hillary's "morals" Please don't pull the morality card because its been pulled too many times by the republicans meanwhile they were having extra marital affairs with both sexes

 

Now Celine is obviously agaisnt the government's views of iraq, so is Hillary, Celineis pro abortion, so is Hillary, Celine is pro gay, so is Hillary, and so are 100% of the dancers that perform for the show in the last 5 years Some of them are even gay, what a shocker eh . if Celine thought there was something immoral about being gay she wouldnt have employed them .

 

 

WHAT HAPPENED TO CELINE DION?

From NBC's Shawna Thomas

 

Last night, the group, “Indian-Americans for Hillary” held a fundraiser at the Sheraton New York Hotel in Manhattan. In some ways this was the coming out party for the Indian-American community’s ability to fundraise and organize for a high-profile candidate, and it came just days after an Obama opposition research document blasted Clinton's ties to Indian-American donors (Obama later apologized for the document).

 

Clinton spoke of her and former President Bill Clinton’s visits to India, and praised the Indian-American community’s commitment to education. Her speech ended to a standing ovation and the familiar strains of KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See.” But nowhere to be heard was her anointed campaign tune, Celine Dion’s “You and I.”

:huh:

I dont think they are going to use it due to public opinion dissing the song. I dont inderstand it, if the public voted for it, why are all the people who voted for it not defending it, unless they were all Celine fans.

[kathyc25]

I think its so silly that people would stop being fans just because Celine`s song was chosen for the campaign and she would perform it at different functions. Does that make her a bad singer? Just because an artist is chosen to perform thier song for the president dosn`t make them political or not...thier manager most likely figures its a good career move and great PR. If Celine decides to do so, its because she or Renee thought it would be good for her career, not because she`s political.

i think its for the better, Celine got in the spotlight long enough through the song being chosen. no need to hear it in Hillary's campaign and get bored of her already. could Celine's team have asked not to be used after all?

[RLAAMJR.]

I don't think we should include Celine Dion's [character in Hillary Clinton's campaign. What I mean is, let's just think which of the songs nominated will be best for Hillary's campaign. And the song "You And I" is the most fit song for her campaign. Because the song is just simple but has a powerful message. I can't even imagine a rock song would win for Hillary's campaign.

 

If Celine Dion will be asked about Hilary's principles, It's already Celine's opinion. And we know that if Celine says something, it's for peace and unity among all people.(",)

[krazy_kool_dude]

rofl. this is hillariously brilliant! Celine got lots of coverage when she was chosen and now she's bound not to have the song even played!

[brasilero]

she is referring to Celine or Hillary. If you are referring to Celine i don't think it was Celine's idea to not have the song played. i don;t think she has anything to do with it.

they prolly didn't play it cuz of the public reaction and they dont wanna take any chances about people being negative about the song. (its by a canadian etc)

[Shaun]

It may well have been Sony that put a stop to it.

yea cuz they prolly wanted royalties or air canada opposed it because its the airline's theme song

i still think 'the power of the dream' would of been a better choice tho'

KT Tunstall is from Scotland so that is not the reason why they didn't play YAI.

I agree. I mean, you don't like somebody because of their opinions... If it were like this many of us would have no friends or social life... Just as an example, I'm against abortion and Céline is pro, and I still love her very much. It's not her fault if we have different opinions...

Either way, the song being chosen doesn't mean she's gonna jump into politics!

 

Now about this piece of news that the song was not played, I'm wondering why but haven't come to a conclusion... Has anyone found the real reason?

 

P.S: I'm glad I read the whole 9 pages of posts. I could understand a bit of US politics just by your posts! That was really helpfull! Thank you so much!!

lol well you know im not american like you and i can understand american politics than most americans.

i am proud to be pro abortion and pro gay just like rene and celine

[Au coeur de Céline]

Thats great!Hillary is a personal friend of Celine, isn't?its really cool!

[brasilero]

i dont know if Celine is a personal freind of Hillarys but i was a bit surprised that Oprah who is a personal friend of Celine's has not decided to back Hillary because at some time in the past she was saying that Hillary was the next president of America

[wjj330]

perfect, but I don't like politics!

[Love,]

Celine's song is STILL the Campaign Song, as far as we all know.

Hillary's website is updated constantly, and THE song is still there!

 

One of the reasons why Celine's song was that it was probably the song choice as set forth by the "Indian-Americans for Hillary" fundraising committe...

 

Use some logic and reasoning, folks, before you jump into your conclusions.

After reading through some of the thread, what I don't understand is how people can't seperate liking Celine from her song being used in a political campaign.

 

It was added as a write in vote, it's not like Celine had much to do with it. But even if she did, why would her using that song affect your liking of her music?

 

The whole "celebrities shouldn't have political opinions" thing is crap. Do you agree with all of your friends politically? If you didn't, would you stop talking to them?

I think that celebrities and people in the spotlight SHOULD BE the most political they can be, because politics run our life and our world. Because of their ability to reach many people and to do certain things, they should take advantage of the opportunity they have to make a positive difference for those who do not have a voice.

yea exactly, i was actually shocked when one fan said he would stop liking Celine's music if she backed Hillary. how silly eh?

i'm sorry but i have to disagree with you. taking political sides doesnt necessarily mean it's a good thing.

Celebrities can critisize the government (like how Celine did in the larry king interview) she was brilliant there. she used her celebrity to get attention for a much needed and overlooked cause. using celebrity for causes or to bring awareness toi something is a much different thing than aligning with a political party. because as we all know, all politics is dirty politics

I was just going to reply saying that you're contradicting yourself within your statement (Oops! did I just say it?), but I thought it's gonna turn out to be another discussion on politics on this thread.

eh?

will i ever learn what? to agree with you? to not state my opinion

hehe never

i'm not sure what ur talking about

[nano]

There are some articles on Finnish newspapers about this...and the headlines has been like.."Hillary chose Celine's song as her campaign song".

for me it's clear that it's nothing to do with politics...Hillary just picked some song to lighten up the campaign. The press isn't talking about how Celine is now making political statements or she's supporting Hillary, at least not here in Finland. The song is part of Hillary's campaign not Celine.

 

I know some people will make wrong assumptions...I just hope that the press or critics won't get their satisfaction for sucking Celine into the dirtiest game (read politics) ever.

 

the good thing is that the song is getting more airplay now.

[Koolan]

Thread cleaned up. Sparking controversy and provoking other members are grounds for an instant ban.

I actually agree with you. The song "The Power Of The Dream" is way better than "You And I" as a campaign song. It's so better that it might get back to the charts again.

[smw]

The Power of the Dream is much more recognizable than You and I, especially in the U.S. People associate TPOTD with the Olympics - not Hillary Clinton.

 

I think the song is "good enough" for a campaign. It works. And it's not an embarrassing song to resurface. At least it's not one like Rain, Tax....

From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum

 

Philadelphia Mayor John Street, along with several other Pennsylvania state officials, endorsed Clinton today. Her entrance music was none other than Celine Dion's "You and I," the song chosen by internet voters. She delivered her typical stump speech with a twist -- adding in a line about Philadelphia or crime in each section.

is it justme but this articleris notwritten well.

the first sentence mentions a man : John Street, asthe topic of discussion, then the next line refers to "her" , so i thought the mayor was a woman, (and her entrance music was Y&I) so in had to go back and re-read it, but then i guess they were referring to Hillary, it's just weirdly written..

Nah - it's just you..

[stevethefan]

I have this TV channel that shows all American political stuff, 24/7 (C-SPAN) and as I was flipping through the channels tonight I saw a live feed of Hillary and Bill Clinton in Des Moines, Iowa for some campaign rally and sure

enough, "You and I" was playing as Hillary was about to speak. It was kind of cool to hear it being used.

 

[Koolan]

Now I have a good reason to tune into C-SPAN.
