I just wish Aldo would've capitalized off the momentum and had booked Ellen and Jimmy Kimmbel for today. I really think If Celine would've have gone to California for the day for a quick performance and small interview on a couple shows the single would've explode even more her in the US.

 

Sharon Osbourne on the talk said that: Celine broke her heart. She also said that Celine looked amazing and it was a brilliant version of TSMGO. She also said that she loved that arrangement. Great job Scott!

 

Cheryl underwood on the talk said that Celine should've sang for Prince too. She said that women blow the roof off the building.

 

The ladies of the talk were not kind to Madonna and then said Celine a true icon and talent!

LOL. I thought that was what you wanted. Sorry.

Unfortunately I don't have the speech in HD but the full show was released in HD so could anyone cut just her speech for us? And then post it on here. I tried getting someone I know to do it but have had no response back yet unfortunately.

Does anybody else want a music video for this? I mean after that performance.... I would love to see a creative concept for this song.

How can you top that performance with a music video?? The performance itself should be the music video.

Quick performances on talk shows the next day? Nah. It would just take away from the already Iconic performance she made on Billboard. Let this be THE performance, no other.

Madonna sang with emotion and from the heart. Britney, did well for Britney. I was happy for her that she's no longer at her rock bottom levels and seemed to enjoy being on stage for the first time in a public appearance since her breakdown. Guess what, Celine wasn't 100% in tune either even though it was pre-recorded.

 

Nobody expects Celine to be Britney or Madonna or vice versa, so I don't see why everything has to be a constant comparison and put down.

 

Umm, Britney has had 2 albums, a tour and a Vegas residency singer her breakdown :wtf:

Lol I just adore this commentary: https://www.laineygo...ic-Awards/43964

 

"And there’s Celine, with Rene Charles standing there, he’s already there, it’s not like he’s waiting for a spot at the poker table or anything, and in front of thousands of people she’s like, child, my love, could you please stand by me through this moment, would that that be alright…? What else is he going to do?!? But with her, it’s not a put-on. There’s nothing tongue-in-cheek with Celine Dion. Ever. It’s never, never ironic. She actually, truly wanted to know if he would wait with her while she got her words out and appreciated her honour. An honour, as Duana pointed out, that she treated as though she were receiving a small principality, or getting knighted. For a Billboard Award!"

 

Oops sorry Stevo, repost!!

haha love it too

so cheeky :-D

but so true: there is no one like in the showbizness. At this level of stardom, she is the most genuine star ever.

She was kind of laugh at for many years because of this simplicity. In French we say she is "provincial" - from the countryside. But years after years this simple side wins over, because well after, it's cool to be ironic, but fresh and loving it is to be true and sincere, isn't it. :wub: :)

I think I would've help the single reach top 40 if not in the top 10 on the charts in the US. Timing is everything in the business these days I hope Aldo knows that and I think he does. I have to say I'm impressed with him so far.

Blah. Blah. Blah. Lady shut up. He handed her the award and was going to leave her side and wait in the wings while she gave her speech (like every other presenter). Instead she asked him to stay by her side. Edited by Brandon

I think what he should do is release the Live version to Itunes immediately! And add it to Vevo. Edited by Brandon

Why are you there? Of course they are. I didn't expect any different. Typical fans do that when they're favorites are covered and outshined.

There are a few bad ones, but overall people haven't been too harsh:

 

Paul Athoe That is an immense performance by anyone's standard.

George M Loudaros Freddy mecury wouldve been proud

John Berg Wow. That's one hell of a preformance

Andy McGann Like her or not, understand what it took to do this performance so soon after losing her Brother and then her Husband. For lovers of Queen and what they stood for, it's saddening to see such negative comments.

Grahame Young That is absolutely amazing - she rocks it so much

Brett Gloom She did Freddie Mercury proud, she is a great lady......

Danny Valle She did Freddy proud. He was smiling last nite.

Graham Maguire One of few voices to draw a tear out of me. Astounding!! X

Debra Hershey Key No offense meant, but, I love Celine and the fact that she can stand ALONE on the stage a give the performance of a liftime!!! while the younger singers, need to have a stage full of dancers and props to help their performances along!!!.

Mario Milanesse Queen Céline

 

Here are the worst of them:

Angie González Yeah.. She didn't do that song any justice. She's a good singer but that song belongs to only one voice.

Steve Magee That *CENSORED* canny sing insult to good music (not even sure if this person knows what they're trying to say....)

Barb Wechsel Never liked her,please stick to queen on this site..

Salvatore Del Furlong wft. we are real music fans on here.. by definition.. we like Queen.. take this pish and shove it!

Daniel Peru Really, I personally didn't like it, but then again who am I.

Missi Cowan Blech... She simply must be one of the most annoying people on the planet

Shayne Chatry Not stunning at all. Actually quite disappointing and without nuance.

 

Honestly that's it. Overall much better reactions than I was expecting! Even if people don't like her they can appreciate her rendition of it.

 

 

OHHHHH and my favorite!!!

 

Gordon Spencer Hey Kanye!!! This is how you cover a Queen classic!!!
