Celine is part of Today Show's Summer Concert Series 2016

[DionFanAlways]

I just watched the entire interview with Kathy Lee. It was really good and entertaining! I just I don't understand how she came off as disrespectful to some of you. I would not go as far as to label Celine that, because this was just an easy-going interview on a TV show. However, it is so damn evident to me that Celine is NOT an easy person to handle during interviews. She is very nice, positive and kind but what makes her difficult is her hyperactivity (interrupting the host to make jokes or sing at random moments), the fact that she demands attention (even when this girl showcased her products Celine put some of them on, acting like a model and the camera focused on her), her weird/unique sense of humor and her habits of talking too much and even going out of the question asked (her reply on how she was doing lasted for about 6 minutes and she even went out of topic by explaining in detail how she told her children that Rene had passed away).

 

Does Celine have to change all this? No! But with all these being FACTS I don't get why one would call out Kathy Lee on making a few sarcastic comments! Celine was asking for them! When you mention wine (which you don't even drink) just about 6 times during an interview, you WILL be getting some comments about being drunk or weird or acting crazy. As I said, she had it coming.

 

In my opinion, Kathy Lee handled the entire interview gracefully. And Ceine genuinely enjoyed herself! I see no need for backlash!

She did fairly well reining her in. I think Celine was having fun and was so relaxed that Celine let her guard down.

KLG is still talking about Celine! I think she really appreciated her..

Wow, her Today Show MC Hammer outfit left a lot to be desired.

Fun concert, though! BYLM was a bit rough.

Aww, "nobody wants to sing with me..."

 

I hope some people sang with her.

So I've just watched all the videos from Celine Day in New York and it just confounds it all: SHE IS PERFECT. We are so lucky to follow and love The Best. She's so funny, her voice is still so incredible and she is so strong. The best really is yet to come!

What was this all about? Did she sing Hello?

I think she stopped, so maybe it's not a bad thing that nobody sang alone lol, one time was enough

It was just sound check. Lol!

I am glad she's getting some vocal rest for the Montréal shows this weekend. The today perfomances were too impromptu and she didn't seem wel warmed up

I agree 100%. I adore Celine and genuinely I find her to be one of the most naturally funny people in the world but...she comes across as cray-cray haha

Thank you for posting the whole interview!! Love it!!

 

Celine is hyperactive, and does often demand attention, as LukeD said. But sometimes I think her antics are another way to deflect questions she doesn't want to answer.

 

Like at 10:48, Kathie Lee starts to ask Celine if she's cried a lot, but Celine's going on and on singing about Kleenex from Heaven, and Kathie eventually forgets her question. I think Celine just didn't want to answer that question . . . she is such a master of the media, all the while seeming incredibly natural. It's really fascinating.

Loved her singing along with that bit of Think Twice, and looking so happy! I don't think she expected to hear Think Twice on an American show.

I loved it too!!! I didn't know if she remembered it but she started it up and I now REALLY WANT to here it live somewhere!!

 

And I loved that she was like "me again?! I know that there's other songs from artists that aren't me!" Or something like that. And the whole bit about her freaking about the cue card was low key hilarious

I agree I have noticed lately that she just keeps on talking about non related subject matter for a really long time and gradually changes the subject when she doesn't want to answer the question. It's her way if controlling the conversion without really saying I don't want to answer that.

You should keep in mind though that it was very early in the morning when she did that concert in NYC. Singing in the morning like that is so hard. Even if you warm up. I can never sing in the morning.

Oh wow! Where's the TT bit? I haven't been able to watch all the show yet. So surprised to hear they played even a snippet of the song on US tv 😀

Yes I agree. She does demand attention. I mean there are just some people out there like that, you will be drawn to that personality, even outside of showbiz. Honestly though does she know any better? She expects it, yes, but after all these years it's just natural to her. I think it has got to be hard to not let that go to her head, no matter how much she says she is grounded. I would find having millions of people throw themselves on the alter for you a bit overwhelming and I'm sorry, but you cannot tell me she is immune. She would be a very interesting study!

 

As for her avoiding the question with marathon answers, yes, that is frustrating because they are the questions that are different! Like the question, did you cry or what makes you angry ect ect.. Honestly I find it is her that brings up the same subject matter time after time. She even brought up the 14th child again, the shoe doesn't fit I'll make it fit. ect ect... She is a pro at that!

 

I meant to quote Luke also but couldn't

It's at the very end of Part 2, they are going to commercial. Way too short of a snippet!

[Alex_Incognito]

So many of these interviews were word for word the same. I wonder if someone works with her on what she wants to say and she memorizes it.

I wouldn't be surprised. Or she just works out what she wants to communicate and will bend the question to fit that (didn't she once talk about how Rene taught her to do that?!)

And isn't that kinda how most of us prep for, say, job interviews? Prepare more-or-less canned answers to the 10 questions you know you're most likely to be asked? Only natural.

The luggage part needs an overhaul

[flutefreak]

She is everywhere. They talked about her on the talk yesterday then showed a clip of her and Kathie Lee and discussed how they were using humor to grieve. They seem to love her on the show, perhaps she will go on it sometime. They also let guest co-host sometimes if someone is gone.

Don't worry, it's all part of her Life style brands...

That made me really LOL

Hopefully Saturday Night Live will now want to have her on the show when her English album comes out!

They now know how fun and crazy she can be.

Oh my god I hope so! I've been wanting that since the Titanic days. She would be so good!

[québecflower]

i think that she may be afraid of saying something bad , still. And she tests her thing beforehand with someone. And maybe she is right, it is so easy to destroy a carreer with some words taken out of context. We have seen it in Canada, when she talked about the charter of value project. Anglo-canadian accused her to be a separatist and against muslims. It doesn't take much.

[Angel2006]

I am not really a fan of Celine being a guest co host. I like seeing her for a long amount of time and seeing her shine in the spotlight, but I think co hosting gigs are to far out of her element. to be honest, I think they make her uncomfortable. Especially when she has to read the teleprompter.

 

I know Celine is hyper and humorous, but I think she also sometimes uses that as a defense mechanism when put in certain situation that make her uncomfortable or feeling out of her element. I even remember reading in one of her books that she uses humor to relax herself, that it's kind of like her defense. It's her way of breaking the ice.

 

Plus. Like some people already mentioned, Celine likes to have the attention on her. Co hosting isn't really good for that. I think Celine should truly go on Saturday Night Live. We all know she is funny and I think she would be much more comfortable and free on a show like that, where she can be herself. I think it would also make her go viral like never before.

 

I have wanted her to go on Saturday Night Live for years. Maybe now that people are starting to look at Celine in a cooler light, maybe the public will embrace her finally going on a show like that. I think Celine would be hilarious and the whole world would be talking about how funny she is.
