Céline being cool again


Recommended Posts

Pretty tenuous to put this post in this particular thread, but probably no better place for it - ultimately the piece is about Celine's cultural relevance.

 

Anyway, here's more from Tranna Wintour and Thomas Leblanc of Chosen Family on CBC Podcast Playlist yesterday -

(listen to the first ~13min)

From the moment they said “French Canadian” on SNL tonight, I was waiting for the Céline reference...

...you’ve got to wait for it...

 

It’s really a pointless sketch, and I just wonder if the whole premise was an excuse for Bo and Kate to show off their decent French accents and sing Céline Dion on TV?

That video got taken down. Found another one:

I'm surprised in all these years, SNL still hasn't had (the real) Celine on. After all, the show is created & presided over by a Canadian,

Have they had Mariah or Whitney on? SNL takes off part of the year, the summers maybe?, so that could be one reason but yeah strange

Looks like they yanked the original video when they realized the actors were doing “la bise” during the final few seconds on air... During a pandemic! :giggle:

Well, apparently the sketch was written by Celeste Yim (from Toronto) and performed by Bowen Yang, who grew up partially in Montreal and is a legit Celine

(See 1:01:49 into this interview - it's about 4-5 min of Celine love).

Delightful interview. I adore Bowen Yang. He’s only been there 1 year and he’s arguably one of the funniest cast members! Had no idea he spent time in MTL. Thanks for sharing!

*a legit Celine fan.

 

Too late to edit - oops! Anyway, watch that bit in the video interview above. Hope it means we can look forward to more Celine references (and hopefully, Celine on the show one day, finally!)

 

They have Adele hosting next weekend.

And you know what? Celine could do it, too. I think she'd be awesome in the skits. She has great comic timing and delivery, and I believe she could absolutely hold her own on SNL.

Her acting dream can finally happen a little! It should've been part of the Celinassiance. And Ana Gasteyer could make a funny appearance.

Celine has gone viral again on Twitter. It is only the 6th tweet about her to reach more than 50k likes.***

 

 

*** if you go by search term full "Celine Dion" and only including tweets where there is a direct photo or video of her attached

Is that Celine's most liked INstagram post of all-time? Nearly 500k likes for Nanny McPhee costume.

 

Mariah has double Celine's followers and I don't think she's ever gotten more than 600k likes

Wouldn't be surprised if Mariah's team bought followers :-D This happens to many so called influencers with million followers but little interaction.

Interesting. Never considered it. But can't low engagement before for a number of reasons?

 

Celine vs. Mariah

 

Facebook: Celine 22.8m vs Mariah 19.7m

Instagram: Celine 4.5m vs Mariah 9.6m

Twitter: Celine 911k vs Mariah 21.6m

Spotify: Celine 10m vs Mariah 16.6m

Youtube: Celine 4.6m vs Mariah 6.3m

Yes, but Celine is known by maybe over 1 bilion persons and Mariah by who? Yes, Mariah was big, but now she is just 'the lady who sing that Christmas song' or something like that. Listen, I love Mariah as an artist from 90s, but for example, in my country, Romania, Celine sells out the biggest stadium (75.000 tickets sold, as they said), but Mariah is not even known here. I mean, Celine is the most popular singer of 90s ever, and those social media doesn't mean that much at all. They can buy followers.

Yes, they can buy followers. But we can't assume that they have. And I think Facebook is probably the most worldwide platform, so that's why I listed it first. And according to Facebook, their popularity is pretty even.

 

I know Celine is more globally popular, it's just interesting about the follower count. I wonder how internationally popular Celine would be without MHWGO.
