Celine at Live 8 Concert, LCMM live by satellite

[Ronny83]

None of those. I never heard about them. I remember there was a band too but not really the kind of music I like

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Les Trois Accords, but they were totally unknown to me.

[VinnyT.]

yeah those poor guys needed to introduced themselvs! "we are...this is our song.."

[VanMerlin]

Yeah once again the candian concert really sucked,full of unknown singers!who cares if they are famous in Canada! and they had a very bad tracklist.Celine wasnt  in the right place!Most of candians love her who cares about those stupid who did boo,just stupid people like u can find everywhere, and I cant respect people like this,coz they dont respect artists who give their contribute to a good cause!NO EXSCUSE for the ones who did it ,just SHAME ON THEM and TO THE ONE who support them!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Please don't be disrespectful. You're being just as disrespectful as the people who booed. They had their reasons and they are not stupid. They were a little rude, yes, but let's not be mean, alright? You're missing the point of the entire day, just like the crowd did when they booed so please stop with the insults. If you didn't like the list of performers, those people came out and worked very hard to do Live 8 and also don't deserve you're insults. They weren't there to entertain just you but to bring awareness. If you didn't like them, okay, but don't put Celine on a pedestal above them or say she's too good to be among them. The other performers there have nothing to do with Celine's audience reaction, so please don't insult them. They did their best.

[CSCfan]

Ahem....

[VanMerlin]

Is that from the London papers, CSCFan? They're notoriously false when it comes to celebrity gossip. I wouldn't believe half of it!!

[Ronny83]

If you didn't like them, okay, but don't put Celine on a pedestal above them or say she's too good to be among them.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I do put Celine on a pedestal above them and say she's too good to be among them. And so?

 

It's just my opinion, I don't think you can tell us what we should think/say about it.

[VanMerlin]

If you want to believe that one person is better than another, okay. I'm simply trying to inspire a sense of compassion and equality. Personally, I don't think Celine is any better than the homeless person on the street or the person dying of AIDS in Africa. But if you want to believe she's better than anyone, that's up to you. Is she better than you?

Yes....and it's not [from] a tabloid..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

That's very funny. We were talking about music artists, and not about homeless or people dying...

 

BTW, I won't reply to this topic anymore. It has gone too far.

[VanMerlin]

That's exactly what the entire day was about. That's the point. Of course, musically speaking, Celine isn't too good to sing with an amatuer country band in an Alberta bar. I wonder why there is such an heirarchy in the world. It's a peculiar thing, isn't it? Hmm...maybe that's why things like this happen in the first place.

 

Thanks, Ronny, for giving me some contemplation. This topic is dead (no one wants to play with me...I'd love to see where it goes) but I've gotten so much out of it. Thanks folks, for all the deep brain inspiration.

 

Bellamy, maybe it's time to nix the thread. The people are getting tired.

[Bellamy]

yes, this topic shouldn't go this far. and please don't just post to PLAY. or posts will be deleted or topic will be closed.

[Belle Céline]

if ppl would quit whining it wouldnt have gone this far.

[CSCfan]

Yeah....let's just talk about Celine's fantastic performance!

 

It made me long for Vegas again..

[VinnyT.]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't think I have been disrespectful.And I don't want you to compare me to those people.I can't see why you want to take it so personally.It was just my opinion.And I criticised the audience,expressing my own opinion.For me they had no reasons to boo Céline,you think they had.Just different points of view.I didn't mean to provoke or insult no one.Once again:I was just expressing my opinion to what happened.What do you mean with "no one wants to play with me"?I don't understand what's your aim.

 

I hope all this will end.I'm getting tired.And, as CSCfan said,let's just talk about Celine's fantastic performance!

[VanMerlin]

Okay, I hope you all don't mind. I'll just answer Vinny and then I'll be out, but he asked a question so I think I should answer it, to be fair. I apologize to the rest of you.

 

Vinny, you were (in my opinion) disrespectful when you called them 'stupid'. That is an unfair judgement. That's all I was saying. Stupidity had nothing to do with it. I'm all for you saying they were wrong, but to then say they're stupid because of it is a 'judgement'. They booed Celine from they're belief that she should have been there, then we all boo the audience for our belief that they were rude, and we're really all being the same. Funny how that works, isn't it? I don't agree with the audience, Vinny, I just think they're entitled to being respected for their opinion without us judging them. I'm not taking it personally, I just want everyone to be fair. Let me put it this way...I can say you're wrong...that's my opinion and that's okay (just as an example). BUT, if I were to say you were stupid, that's a false judgement on my part and I would most certainly be wrong.

 

The comment, "no one wants to play with me" is pertaining to the fact that this thread is slowly dwindling, and it could go so many places, but it's dying and I'm saddened by the fact that we could go on talking about all the various facets of this situation, but no one will. I could explore this situation and the many things that come from it forever...my mind thrives on this kind of stimulation, and I've learned very much from this thread. There's so much to explore!!! But everyone, as you can see, just wants to go back to talking about the miserable performance, which is quite fair. So, therefore, no one wants to play with me. You thought I was interested in making trouble, didn't ya'? he he he

 

 

Can I just say, though, how impressed I've been with this board? Good on ya' folks. ALL of you.

[Mozinha]

Still talking about this?

Omg... I bet even René got over this... LOL

[tativale]

I guess it's time to close this topic.......please....

[Koolan]

Let's get back to discussing the speech/performance, not about why this and that, coulda woulda, shoulda... We've heard enough.

Live 8 organizer defends Celine Dion

Last Updated Tue, 05 Jul 2005 22:35:06 EDT

CBC Arts

Canadian Live 8 organizer Michael Cohl has come to the defence of songstress Celine Dion, whose appearance was booed on Saturday.

 

Dion did not perform live at the Canadian edition of Live 8 in Barrie, Ont. Instead, she taped a segment at her Las Vegas show earlier in the day.

 

The tape was then shown to the crowd in Barrie, which reacted by booing the Quebec singer.

 

Cohl said he's not sure Dion is aware of what happened.

 

"I think everybody who gives, in whatever way they give, should be applauded," he said in an interview with the Canadian Press.

 

"And that includes her. She's one incredibly successful Canadian star. She's locked into a situation in Las Vegas that prevented her from being in two places at once."

 

Some of the 35,000 people who attended the Barrie concert said they were disappointed that Dion did not show up in person, taking it as a sign of insincerity.

 

Known for songs like The Power of Love and My Heart Will Go On, Dion is currently playing an extended engagement at the Caesars Palace casino complex in Las Vegas.

 

Comedian Dan Aykroyd, who helped to host the event, chided the crowd on Saturday for jeering.

 

"No, no, no ... Be proud of Celine Dion. She's here to help and entertain us. She's working hard, hard, hard," the Ghostbusters star said.

 

Cohl said he was "disappointed" by the reaction. "But it's a free country," he added. "I appreciate what she did and I respect her for it."

 

Live 8 is a series of concerts that was staged around the world on Saturday. The aim of the event was to put pressure on the leaders of the G-8 nations – who are meeting in Scotland starting Wednesday – to modify their Africa policies so poverty can be ended on that continent.

 

Cohl, a concert promoter known for working with the Rolling Stones, served as the public face of Live 8 in Canada.

 

He said he should know by the end of the week if the free concert achieved its financial goal of breaking even.

 

"Overall, I think we're going to be fine ... TV did well, the sponsorships did well, the food did well. I don't know what the merchandise number was but I saw a lot of people in [Live 8] T-shirts, so I'm hopeful."

 

He said that one of the highlights of the concert was the so-called "snap moment" – when all the concertgoers at all the venues clicked their fingers in unison every three seconds, signifying how often a child dies of extreme poverty.

 

"The click moment was brilliant, I thought," he said. "I wasn't sure how it was really going to work ... all the producers worldwide knew it was coming."

I think he said very well.

[tativale]

Me too! I'm glad that there are people there like thaht guy that can defend Celine. I wonder what she and Rene will say to him so cute!

[tativale]

Rene reacts

Caesars Palace headliner Celine Dion, who rarely gets in a public relations pickle, may have some fences to mend after being booed by the Live 8 crowd in Barrie, Ont.

 

"While some may have been simply booing Ms. Dion because they don't happen to like her, I got the distinct impression that the booing was because of the 'live via satellite' nature of her performance," wrote M. Thomson of the Globe and Mail.

 

"Acts such as Bryan Adams, Deep Purple, Tom Cochrane and Simple Plan made extraordinary efforts to fit Live 8 into their schedules and appear at the concert. If Ms. Dion couldn't be bothered to do the same, Live 8's Canadian organizers should have given her a pass."

 

Booing continued until Dan Akroyd of "Saturday Night Live" fame had to ask the boobirds to settle down.

"We did the right thing. She did what she was asked. They asked her to participate and she did participate," Rene Angelil, Dion's husband and manager, said by telephone Tuesday. "The 10,000 young people are forgetting that millions more around the world got to see her. There is no way we could have gone."

Dion, who performed Friday night at Caesars Palace, returned to The Colosseum at noon to sing "Love Can Move Mountains" for Live 8 at 1 p.m. Saturday.
