Why do people make fun of Celine fans?

July 12, 2011 at 02:26 AM

I have this problem too. My family members think that i am mental for loving celine dion. But, they don't know her like i do. They only know her from MHWGO. A few weeks ago i got the chance to see Celine in Vegas and since i am not 18 i broght my mom. At first she did not want to go. By the end of the AMAZING night she would not stop talking about how nice she is and what an amzing voice she has, but unfortunatley she is still not wild about her music. DARN...SOOOO CLOSE! We members of celine dion forum have a special connection that only we can fully appreciate. We all love Celine Dion from the absloute bottum of our hearts!!!

They laugh at her and at us because they don't know her. For example, the other day, a history teacher at my school said that Céline was annoying, it was tiersome that she's always singing about love and her message of peace and love isn't important. I think he said that either because 1) he's jealous 2) he just doesn't know her. Oh yeah, he even said that her ''Take a kayak'' thing was really stupid. I guess that there is people like this but I think that it's their problem. They do not know what they are missing.

Well atleast we know he LISTENS to Celine

He was a jerk and what does he teach 'HISTORY' buahhahahahhahhah!!! Look who's talkin

I think that's half the problem. They should take the time to get to know her like we do, beyond that song.
They only know her from MHWGO. A few weeks ago i got the chance to see Celine in Vegas and since i am not 18 i broght my mom.
Wow, you are brave I would die if I had to take my mommy with me to see...anything. I have so many regrets from my last show that I have decided, though I will not be picky about it, that if I see her again ever, I will insist on taking someone with me who is as adimate and crazy/wild about her as I am, so I'm sorry you had to do that.
At first she did not want to go. By the end of the AMAZING night she would not stop talking about how nice she is and what an amazing voice she has,
that's cool/good, it's something
but unfortunatley she is still not wild about her music. DARN...SOOOO CLOSE!
ah, that stinks but wow you tried, good job that's all we can do
We members of celine dion forum have a special connection that only we can fully appreciate. We all love Celine Dion from the absolute bottum of our hearts!!!

Awwwwwwww, this line almost made me cry. all my life I have wanted so much and so hard and so bad to be part of something. Now, whether or not people want me or not, I am. I am part of that group who gets it and loves her that way and gets it/understands other people and why/when./how they do. I get the insane weird things it sounds odd to say unless you are a fan. Thanks for saying that, it really is so true and we are all here for each other to help us through things like this.

July 12, 2011 at 05:57 AM

That was sweet what you wrote swimmer, it's true. Although my parents have respect for Celine, they still get tired of her after one song -_-

July 12, 2011 at 06:57 AM

Great stories Emma and swimmer !!! :wink:

July 12, 2011 at 07:14 PM

happy to read all these great and touching stories :wub: i didn't know when i started this topic it would comme so far

and i say it again Celinefans are special people :wub:

July 13, 2011 at 06:25 AM

Thank you for starting this topic, I know what you mean. i never think my topics will amount to anything, and often they do...

We are special, and we have a great example of how to be...not everyone can like her. It takes something in us to do so and to constantly keep up the faith when the fires of ridicule and the storms and hale of painful words come flooding...

Thanks for this topic! this means i'm not alone! Everyone made fun of me THROUGHOUT highschool because I was a dedicated Celine fan while most ppl were into rap and other stuff!

July 16, 2011 at 09:55 PM

No you are not alone. It amazes me how people are so in to her when they could be giving all that in to modern singers but they don't. They could be as in to today's singers as they are with her, but I am so glad she gets all the energy and love we have here when it could just as easily be going to the music of now. I think it's awesome!

July 17, 2011 at 08:15 AM

Christina, you're right. On one hand, I'm not at all suprised that we're so many here because Céline is one extraordinary woman but on the other hand there's so many young, new artists who are trying to get their peice of the spotlight and yet we remain Céline's very own little soldiers, that's a beautiful fact! :groupwave:

July 17, 2011 at 10:33 AM

most of my friends know that I love Céline and no1 makes fun of it.... They all have respect for what she has achieved, especially when I show them clips or tell them the figures, they are rather impressed....

One day at work, a friend saw my Taking Chances keyring and was astonished and asked "céline dion?" And I was like "yes, why? Is that a problem?" And he was like "No, it's not my kind of music but how could one be negative about Céline Dion?"

July 17, 2011 at 12:12 PM

I honestly dont get why people have a problem when someone likes a certain artist so much. They should get over it, it's not a big deal. I 've had the same problem over the years but I couldnt care less at this point. I learnt how to keep my obsessions to myself so that it doesnt bother other people.

July 17, 2011 at 03:29 PM

I suppose I should learn to keep my obsessions to myself too, it might seriously lessen the insults toward her that I hear. It is, after all, self-inflicted in a way, but it is sooo hard because eventually i explode and it bursts out. Thank goodness I can come here!

August 13, 2011 at 02:01 PM

Hey everyone,

I'm not really new here, but clearly I'm more of a "reader" than a "poster" (I'm trying to change that, I swear!) First of all, let me say that this forum has been an absolute God-send for me. I can keep up-to-date on the latest news, read very inspiring and heart-warming stories about our girl and all of the fans and it also helps to remind me that I am definitely not alone in my love and adoration for Celine.

I had to go back and read through this thread because I had it out with my cousin last night over my "obsession" (okay, it IS an obsession, no need for the quotation marks...). Long story short, I'm 29 now, been "in love" with Celine since I was nine. I have her name tattooed on my foot and "A new day has come..." on my wrist. I've seen her 18 times and am leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow afternoon to see her for the second time this year. I say this to you all because I know I am not the only one who has spent way more money than I have ever had on this woman. Do I regret it? Absolutely not.

So much of what everyone has said about their experiences are ones I can absolutely relate to. I remember wearing tour t-shirts to school when I was a kid. I was constantly made fun of because everyone knew insulting Celine was the only thing that would make me cry. Keep in mind, this was in the early, mid-90s. Kids used to come in to school and tell me Celine was killed in a car accident and it would send me into hysterics! Seriously, kids can be incredibly cruel! I'm an English teacher (high school) now, and my students think it's the coolest/funniest thing how I've devoted my life to her, but the adults still have things to say.

When I got the first tattoo, on my foot, I said it made it official - Celine was, and always would be, a part of me. Symbolically, I chose my right foot because it's the foot I take the first step with and, crazy as it sounds, I like to think she's with me from the first step I take in any situation. Generally, I don't care anymore when people talk, but it frustrates me because so many people just don't want to hear about it anymore. It's not worth posting what my cousin said to me last night, but now it makes me feel like I don't even want to tell her how tomorrow night goes. Why bother, you know? What's worse, if I ever was blessed enough to meet her or Rene, she (and others) would probably be hoping the obsession would end because my one dream was achieved.

Not sure if anyone can relate to this, but when people don't want to hear or care about my love for Celine, it's almost like they're saying they don't really want to know or care about me. Of course, my walls are COVERED in posters and about 3/4 of my bookcase is devoted to memorabilia, but I don't appreciate people making me feel like I need to change who I am (and who I have been for 20 years) to please them or seem more "normal".

I just wanted to thank everyone who posted in this thread (and all of the others, of course) because I woke up feeling pretty down about myself and reading through everyone's posts made me feel a lot less alone. :wub:

Oh, how can you like that woman? she's so old! and I'm like Listen: first of all, she's not that old; she has won 5 Grammy Awards, how many Grammys have Tokio Hotel received? Oh, zero!; "That woman" (as you call her) is a legend in the music world, in fact, she's the world's biggest selling female artist. Finally, she has a singnature song which every single person in this planet knows by heart, and that's "My heart will go on". Celine can continue touring, doing shows and releasing albums for as long as she wants, but, what's gonna happen with those guys you like in a decade? They'll be over!

Yes!! What annoys me the most is that people tell me she's too old or she's only for old people! :evil: Yes she's twice the age of most new "singers" nowadays but she sings 47482948493929% better than ALL of them and she has a stable career that is matched by NOBODY!

It really touched me to read about how clear you are about your feelings for Céline. I understand that you've been through a lot as a fan but I have to say that through that you've remained a devoted fan and you followed your heart, that's something to be proud of. I admire you for never changing who you are or hiding what you feel. Thank you for sharing your story, it warmed my heart. Welcome to the posting world of the forum! :bye1:

Your story really touched me. I know how you feel. You know, I sort of go through the same thing at school, people ask me when she's going to die, tell me that she was killed and stuff like that because they know that they're going to have a reaction out of me. I try not to say anything but it's just impossible not to stand up to her. I think that I will wear a Céline shirt to school one day, thanks to you. I also know how people can make you feel when they want you to change and all. I have that problem, sometimes from people that should be accepting me as I am and I find it hard sometimes. People can be mean. Don't give up, it's something to be very proud of. Have the time of your life in Vegas! Thank you. :hug:

August 14, 2011 at 12:17 AM

the stories you share are very touching...love to you all.

for me, it is a fact knowned and accepted that i love Celine... Peoples don't dare say anything bad to me about it :giggle:

But i am an old person :laugh:

anyway, keep your love for Celine, be prood....

sometimes, it seems to me that loving Celine is almost as bad as to be a christian in the beginning :laugh:

August 14, 2011 at 12:40 AM

Thanks for the support, everyone! It means SO much!! :blushing1:

August 15, 2011 at 03:58 PM

Meg, sorry this is late, just got back to my house from a weekend away...hope you had the time of your life last night with her. I can't imagine what that was like. I am so happy you get to go.

Your whole story amazed me, how the kids knew that would be the one thing that would get to you. I had that, too. In high school, kids used to say, hey Christina, guess what, Celine Dion is in the auditorium, go see her. She wants to talk to you. I hated that.

i mostly related though, to you saying that if they don't want to hear about your love of her, it's like they don't want to know you. I so totally get that. I take it further, if you dyss her, you may as wel also insult me!

One thing I did not have a lot of until I came here, was a place to talk about her, and go on about her as long as I wanted without people asking me to shut up.I am in a pottery class and have converted the teacher, so proud of myself. And I try to find ways to discuss her in class because I sometimes feel I don't get enough of it. But even though he's a fan, I sometimes fear it will be too much and he will get sick of it.

Kids can be cruel, yes, but you are so right when you say it does not stop then. Adults can be brutal. we have a woman in our class who hates, loathes, detests her, not to mention my whole family. THis lady hates that she's on. Me being the typical people-pleaser that I am, I turn it down when she walks in, and we let the disc er have on end and do not turn it or something else on while she's in the class as an annoying courtesy to her.

My family...well, let me tell this one...My parents are going to see Shania when she comes to the Colloseum, but my father rubbed it in my fave when we talked last time. He knows my favorite, and IMO the better of the two, is there. Yet he says he and mom are going to go see Shania. If they don't know what days she is there next year and when Celine is, I know them, they would probably just go see her for the hell of it, denying a seat to two true fans who could/should be going, and tell me all about it later. I sometimes hate non-fans.

August 17, 2011 at 03:39 AM

A fan from any Singer gets made fun of. But for some reason people like picking on Celine fans! My little thesis lol is that they KNOW that Celine's career and influence is matched by no one. Not even by Whitney, Aretha, Cher or Madonna. (No disrespect) My whole family and every person I have ever met know that I am a HUGE Celine fan! Sometimes they do play around with me and say "damn why so many Celine posts on Facebook!?" Lol but it doesn't bother me because I know that my favorite singer truly IS the best singer. Its so hard for any Celine fan to show so much lover for her, as a 16 yr old straight guy its a little harder because then people start to stereotype you! Not only kids but adults too! They should be mature and respect people's interests, but this lady in her 40s or 50s was just completely rude and ignorant and harassed me on Facebook because I listen to Celine. People are so narrow minded and I am so saddened that so many Celine fans go into depression or worse because of the just evil things unhappy haters say... :cry:

non Celine fans will never understand why Celine is the most successful and inspirational and why so many fans and some non fans respect her so much until they experience it for themselves.

August 17, 2011 at 04:44 AM

all we can do is hope they one day do experience her, then they will know what we are talking about and why we love her as we do.

I love what you have said here, about how it's hard for fans of her to show so much love for her. It scares me, sometimes even here because I'm still new here somewhat and testing the boundaries of how weird is too weird for even here.

You say that some fans go in to depression. Why is that? Can you elaborate on what you meant by that and why? I know that sometimes with the mean, rude things people say I go in to a sadness for about a day or two, but I always come back out because of her and all you true fans here.

August 17, 2011 at 05:16 AM

There's a lot of sensitive people out there, I mean Celine herself is an emotional person. So when some haters go very far and say just horrible things to fans and make them feel like they're the worst people for listening to her music and eventually so many things are said that it gets to them and they get very sad and maybe depressed...but that's why when haters gang up on a Celine fan we should help out and at least make them back off, we don't really need to make Celine sound amazing because she's proving it herself with all her success

August 17, 2011 at 11:18 PM

Thank you for your explanation. I often come to her defense, but I don't have to because she proves her own amazingness. I think we should come to the immediate aid of a fan who's being ganged up on, definitely. Thanks, well said! She is very emotional, and she does seem to attract those kinds of people, too!

August 19, 2011 at 08:34 PM

Nobody's made fun of me yet, but I think that's because I'm an extremely new fan and I've only told two people so far (my mom and one of my close friends). I'm a very private person, so if I have a strong interest in something, I will usually tell only the people I trust. I can only remember one incident in 10th grade where I wore a concert tee from another singer I love, and this guy told me "She got shot today, I saw it on the news!!" It seems like a lot of you have gone through similar things. I really hate when people make fun of others just because of the music they like. :angry2: I mean, we all have different tastes, so what's the point?

People like you and me are lucky to have passions; if someone doesn't get that, it's their loss.

August 20, 2011 at 03:02 AM

I really hate when people make fun of others just because of the music they like. I mean, we all have different tastes, so what's the point?

Oh and I HATE when people stereotype you because of a singer you listen to! :angry2: Just cause a guy listens to Celine Dion doesn't make him gay! :cursing:

August 21, 2011 at 02:20 PM

soooo i am not alone !!

August 21, 2011 at 02:20 PM

people make fun of anything that they never had .... they're jelous

September 4, 2011 at 07:47 AM

That hasn't happen to me. Celine is highly respected in our country. Just respect them and be nice and who knows they might start liking Celine too.
