Celine doesn't use the Internet, does she?

[Prince Whiskers]

She's probably one of the few artists who don't leave personal messages in their websites. And can you conceive the thought of her being a regular guest on this forum? haha While the SCF high drama (lol) might jar her mind, she might pick up a few if not some useful ideas.

[peo]

Very interesting topic its true what you are saying, most artists keep updates in their websites.

[miracle_girl]

Shes proberly to buisy to get anywhere near a computer! lol

[Davey84]

she said l'ordinateur isn't anything for her.... but I think it's also a question of not having any time.... eventhough she could tell her assistant to put a message on the net once and a while

[Krys]

so far, the only time i've read that Celine used the internet was to research about Rene's cancer

Lol, thats right

[one heart]

I think celine really don't know about Internet !!!

celine used to visit celine dion forum ????

[tal-sh2]

I remember somewhere she said she doesn't know to play computers, maybe in "Revealed" 2002.

But, I think she don't think any time to read PM, even for the letters she get she doesn't have any time I guess to read and reply.

[Edwin]

I can't imagine she would have that kind of time. She does shoot short video posts every now for Team Celine though. On a side note, has anyone ever written her, and if so does her management respond back with a stock photo or anything?

[Prince Whiskers]

Celine should give us a day-by-day update on RC's progress.

[Xpresso]

I think that most artists who leave personal messages on their websites don't actually do it themselves.

They have staff to do it...

Actually that would be a cute idea. She can write what they did that day.

Never going to happen but it's still adorable.

I have written to her fanclub in Canada. They sent me two pictures and a letter written by her club. They wrote that Celine doesn't have time to write back, but they appreciate it.

That's cool

 

But anyway I think that Celine keeps too big distance between herself and the fans. For us, she is like unavailable. There is no contact with her. Everything is being filtred by the faclub etc..

[Ted]

I'm sure Rene reads this forum. He might post with the a fake name.

[kathyc25]

That`s true. Josh Groban seems to be very accessible. After all of his concerts his fans will wait in the parking lot and he`ll sign autographs for all of them and talk to them for a while. I`m not so sure Celine would do that. I don`t think its because she`s not a nice person...I think maybe Renee feels like she would be mobbed. Which might be true.

Oui,A mon avis aussi, Celine is far too distantxxxx

[leenylover]

I think some of us forget just what a huge star she is. To us she seems like this talented crazy chick, who has a massive family and is gaga about her son and husband. But she is a huge global star too. She does have to be careful about being surrounded by fans, because there are some people who go to far, and Celine is "big" enough to get fans like that!

 

I also think it would be true that she would have little time to go on a PC and chat with fans. She works alot! And when she is not working she is sharing her time out with her small immediate family and the rest of her huge family. The only reason I am online as much as I am is that I have nothing much better to do, I'm sure if I was a successful artist, not to mention successful business woman, the last thing I would want to do is spend all night surfing and in chat rooms! Though I know that there are artists that make time to show appreciation for their fans online, Mariah regularly records voice messages for her fan site.

 

As for getting some kind of return for writing letters? I think it depends on your strategy, timing and content of letter. I wrote a letter to Celine when I was in Vegas. I had travelled all the way from England to see her, it was my first time seeing her concert, as her show near my home town was cancelled when Rene had cancer, and I wanted to let her know that we all love and admire her no matter what she decides to do with her career (at the time she had been heavily critisised for her short blonde hair and choice of songs for One Heart) When I saw her in concert it was close to her birthday and a few people wished her happy birthday and sang to her. She did not seem to be in the mood for celebrating and was almost sarcastic when she thanked us for reminding her it was her birthday, she was obviously fed up. She spent some time off sick not long after that, so was probably quite run-down too.

 

I wrote a long letter to her explaining all of this and reassuring her that her fans loved her no matter what. That she may be another year older, but she was still graceful, elegant and had one the best bodies in the business! I hoped my letter would make a difference to her and while I was still in vegas, left the letter at Ceasars Box office with a small gift. I did not expect anything in return, except for hoping she would know that she had a die-hard fan in little ol' England!

 

A couple of months later When I was back in England I received a signed stock photo from her saying "To Lisa, Love Celine xx..." I again hoped that this was confirmation that I had managed to cheer her up and that she knew that someone from across the world thought she was worth making all that effort for! Because she totally is!

 

Love Lisa

well when Céline was that age, and at that part of her carreer she did the same things

I gave a letter and a present to Yves, to give to céline, but I never got anything

[TaCD24/7*52]

... i have sent Celine many gifts and letters, from home & in Vegas & received no reply apart from 1, at the beginning,It was from her team, Thanking me for my continued support, on Celine'e behalf.

 

I'd prefer Celine was less Busy & not as didtant, though i respect her choice.

[aicee]

As far back as I can remember Celine did use Internet online,the year was 2003. And guess where it is? through her own website! Yes it's true! Well to tell my story, that day I was thinking twice If I'll check my account on the Internet that day...then tomorrow morning I found out that Celine DID ONLINE yesterday that year!!!! On her website there's a note indicating that Celine did online that day. I don't know exactly the date that was.

 

And when I did found out that morning,I was feelin' sick and regretting saying to myself that " I told you to check your account" But it's too late. I just hope that Celine would be able again someday.....

 

Hey, isn't Celine's wedding anniversary today? Hope I'm right with my date

No, her anniversary is on December 17th.

I have a story very similar to Lisa's - I gave her a letter and a gift at a concert I went to 9 years that I went up to the stage and personally put into her hands. I got a very nice letter back signed by her a couple of months later. If you're lucky enough to get her one-on-one in person she's incredibly accessible. I met her through an incredible coincidence last month when she was not being mobbed and Tal and I were the only people who went up to her and did not feel rushed at all from her end when talking to her, in fact, I rushed myself because I felt bad for taking up what seemed like so much of her time given who she is. She only ever moved to get up to leave after we said our goodbyes and walked off. It just takes being in the right place at the right time so don't give up hope, it is entirely possible to run into her just hanging out in a public place with no mob scene in sight!

That's amazing. Celine's so sweet and polite.

 

I secretly hope that she'll pop into the restaurant I work in some day to grab a bite.

We were mentioned in our local newspaper as a great place to eat after all.

It's hard to be a celebrity and try to live up to everyones expectations, but I think Celine does a great job with her fans. Obviously she only has so much time to do everything and she can't possibly sign every autograph or talk to everyone that comes up to her but she really tries her best to do what she can. That's why we love her!

[celinerific]

She's one in a bazillion. Can't explain how much I love her, she's amazing.
