maki_Dion-er Posted April 5, 2019 at 05:32 AM Posted April 5, 2019 at 05:32 AM Or just Celine memes (or GIFs!) in general - that's a treasure trove! yes, hilarious and great promo for the younger audience.I'd love to see her reaction to the "mixtape" ones from her in the yellow suit, the image of how she tells a story, and the ones from Vogue where she's kneeling also just some of the funny tweets made about her like the ones of how much Jamaicans love her.

Chantemoi Posted April 23, 2019 at 11:53 PM Posted April 23, 2019 at 11:53 PM I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone post on this yet... One of my friends informed me that last week’s episode was the Snatch Game episode where the queens choose a celebrity to impersonate on a “Hollywood Squares” type of panel. Canadian queen Brook Lynn Hytes chose Céline, and she donned the famous backwards John Galliano suit from the 1999 Oscars red carpet. Unfortunately, pretty much everyone agreed that —aside from the costume — it was a total disaster. Did anyone else see it? Quote

Davey84 Posted April 27, 2019 at 10:31 PM Posted April 27, 2019 at 10:31 PM yea sorry i do not really watch this particular tv show, but again i do kind of find it ODD & ANNOYING (& NOT just this particular show, but in GENERAL,) with the whole mentality "if it WASNT FOR 'TITANIC', celine would NOT be as famous & successful as she is", which to me is BULL-LOCKS!! cause yes even though "my heart will go on" is one of her most WELL KNOWN & BEST SELLING SONG, & nothing & nobody can take that away from her... buuuuut sorry, she did still have lots of success & was famous BEFORE "titanic" & "MHWGO", celine was NOT a 'unknown nobody from quebec' before "titanic", she DID have 4 successful english albums BEFORE "MHWGO", & she had successful tours as well!! & even before she was singing in english, she was VERY successful in canada & france & other parts of europe with her french music career... its just her singing in english pushed her to MUCH MORE success!! but my point is, "MHWGO" & "titanic" is NOT the only thing that made celines success, she had it BEFORE THAT SONG & MOVIE, personally i think she has made ALOT MORE BETTER MUSIC since then (but just not as well known to the world outside of us fans!!) sorry for the very long rant, it just does bother me when the general public & media tie celine down to just ONE song & movie soundtrack to her success when celine has had success waaaay BEFORE then & will still have success AFTER cause of her enormous talent & beautiful soul!! I totally agree. Its such a shame her whole career most of the time gets minimalised to MHWGO. Up to MHWGO her career was more than thriving before LTAL came out, selling millions of albums and having multiple hits in English and French. The demand for Celine was mega high in 1997 and MHWGO in 1998 was the cherry on the cake. Even though her break in 2000 was well deserved, I do wonder if it would have been better if Celine had released a new full album in 1999 with a new sound, like more songs like TTWII, to shake off that MHWGO imagine and showed the world in the height of her popularity that she was much more than MHWGO.

I completely agree. If we're talking about just the U.S., she already had 7 top 10 singles, including 2 #1s before MHWGO. She also had a #1 album that won Album of the Year at the Grammys as well, and had been chosen to perform at the 1996 Olympics. After MHWGO, she also had 2 top 10 songs, including a #1 single (IYA). So, it's foolish when people say she was not successful before Titanic, and that she was not famous after Titanic. Quote Tommy

Who says kids don't know Celine! Yep. The 2017 BBMA performance was a proof of the iconic status of the song. IMO the term icon is (too) often used, but in the case of MHWGO and Céline, the last years have cemented that. 2 Quote

Nice piece. “Céline Dion, Québécoise goddess and the queen of our hearts, nearly showed up to the camp-themed 2019 Met Gala outfitted for camping. […] Dion’s cheerful admission was, of course, the very essence of camp itself — a beautiful irony not lost on social media’s huddling masses. What could be more camp, more winking in its subversion of innocence, than one of our greatest living embodiments of camp insisting she actually didn’t know what “camp” meant? In that fateful moment, it’s possible some of you felt the seismic intimation of a rumble as the minds of so many gay men and armchair semioticians collectively exploded. Our idols are what we make them, and in that sense, Céline Dion has been renewed. The Dion of chest-beating, adult contemporary omnipresence throughout the 1990s is not today’s late-2010s diva stumbling into high-concept couture. When journalist Carl Wilson proposed, in his 2007 book Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste, that the hordes of music snobs give Céline a chance, it was the kind of argument that demanded a 176-page defence. And then everything changed. Three years after issuing an expanded edition of Let’s Talk About Love, Wilson assessed, rather than made a case for, Dion’s coolness in Maclean’s. The Atlantic declared that Céline Dion had saved the 2017 Billboard Music Awards with “pop opulence so well-executed that it transcends kitsch.” Drake announced his not-totally-joking intention to get a tattoo of her face. In the age of Trump, amid a memeified zeitgeist and pop culture’s accelerated queering, it was clear that a new era had dawned: a Célinaissance. Something else happened, too. As she leaned into her new role as quirky pop-art matriarch of the people, the balladeeress from Charlemagne, Quebec, quietly emerged from her chrysalis as a lesbian icon. At least, maybe. […] A deeper dive into Dion’s early-career aesthetic choices surfaces other hints, as Autostraddle recently pointed out. “In the early 1990s, Canadian pop music gave questioning queer girls an icon who performed what they couldn’t yet express: angsty, apprehensive subtexts about the wrong kind of love sometimes being so, so right sung by a diva in is-she-or-isn’t-she pantsuits and short, sensible dark hair.” […] Dion has an unconventional beauty that’s less classically soft and feminine than it is, well, handsome. Her slim, boyish figure suits a suit, and she wears them often (and very well). She’s a diva who doesn’t act like one, a superstar of improbable chill. And yet, critically, Dion’s down-to-earth demeanour presents, unlike the soundbite professions from certain young ingenues, of a tomboyish devotion to pizza and beer. Dion’s goofy faces and self-effacing gags never feel designed to reassure straight men that she’s “not like the other girls,” but rather like a hand extended to an audience of girlfriends. Where Dion’s diva signposts are effortlessly suggestive of gay male fandom, the attributes that more subtly and cumulatively point toward a lesbian iconography are intimate and knowing. In a sense, their quietness makes them more insistent." Edited May 31, 2019 at 05:16 AM by scielle Quote
