I get she's not everyone's cup of tea, so to speak, but c'mon......

That makes me sad. They don't even play her music at the wal-mart where I live or sell it nonetheless. I understand people don't like her but still like you said should this be a news story? Edited by Prima_Donna1

I think employees just complained because it was on loop. Anything on loop all day would annoy someone. People in her own Vegas store have said things, as would anyone hearing the same things for hours on end. Customers hear things for a few minutes and leave. So, it seems fair to let employees pick new music or want more variety.

 

I don't think it's a slam. More awkward/funny because she performs at the shareholders meetings.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous. It's their own fault for playing songs on repeat all the time as employees with get irrirated from hearing the same ones all the time. Mix it up a little bit. One person's favorite song is someone else's nightmare.

it is like, it is because of Celine and Justin Bieber that Walmart associates are depressed. I sincerely doubt that. Working there and having meetings in the morning with your boss(who is making just a little bit more than you ) , describing your objectives for the day etc...is more likely to cause that. Not making a good salary, because they cut the hours to not pay benefices could be another explanation.

I think if they wouldn't keep playing her hits over and over, they wouldn't be sick of it. The problem is, and lots of places don't seem to get this, she has MORE then her hits. Heck, I think a lot of us like the other ones over the hits. So just change the song, then you won't be so "sick" of it! Edited by CelineDionFreak

Let me get this right, Celine does a concert for Wal Mart, probably gains them even more customers from every Celine fan on the planet. If they need reminders that is alot of people since Celine is the biggest selling female artist of all time. They pay her back by boycotting her music.

 

Celine is brobably the only worldwide famous singer who has ever sung for Wal Mart. I mean come on, it's Wal Mart were talking about, not Radio City Music Hall. Celine didn't even have to take that gig and give a shout out to there store. Celine is so much better then they will ever be, so Wal Mart can suck it.

Don't care. Would rather run naked through a busy mall than shop at Walmart.

I don't care. So now less obese people eating chips will be expose to music that they don't even buy.

 

I think the point was to be humorous. Celine fans take things too personally.

I work in a store where there is looped music and yes it's annoying but to pick on 2 artists in particular to make their point is disrespectful to be honest

Like yes there is music on loop change it

Don't bring someone's good name into and say playing less of their music will most moral.

Just my 2 cents

I know Celine isn't everyone's taste but come on.

I think it's hilarious. They're still going to play Celine anyway I think. If not there's always the malls and other supermarkets that does.

I see civil unrest happening! Major cities in the States take heed! (because I know there isn't civil unrest in other parts of the world... :rolleyes: :msn-wink: ) News reporters take note as pockets of Celine Dion fans join in protest against Wal-Mart! Shouting, 'What do we want? We want Celine Dion looped on and on! When do we want it? NOW!!!'

 

I am making my poster right now! Double sided, one side English, one side French of course! (although I should do one in Spanish (we need their masses) also! After all she did do two or three songs in that language! :giggle: )

 

People united under CELINE! Longue Vie CELINE!
