Will Céline ever return to Eurovision Song Contest?

[felicia]

The BBC also on tv

[noyau]

I’ll be in Basel tonight from 8pm. Any advice? Should I wait outside the venue to see if she comes out? Or go check the luxury hotels nearby? If anyone has a list of possible hotels, I’d really appreciate it.

I also need to find out what time the rehearsal is tomorrow afternoon.

I only have a ticket for the Arena Plus show at St. Jakob-Park...

[Remon]

It’s the flight that I mentioned yesterday that the Dutch reporter is talking about. But still it’s weird, she must have also been flying incognito (nu pun intended) from Vegas, as her jet and carrier (Vistajet) have not had any flights between Vegas and Paris.

 

Gosh, I feel like a stalker…

[comingback]

Don't worry, we are all stalkers. LOL

Clip from BBC where they discuss her jet landing -

[zuv]

There’s still hope 🥲

[comingback]

It wasn't a Privat Jet right? But would Celine flight incognito?

[anewdayhascome]

Why would journalists track random flights like us and report it... It'd be so unprofessional if not true

[Remon]

Another tweet mentioning she’s flying in from Scottsdale to Nice this afternoon and tomorrow to Basel.

 

This is indeed “her” type of airplane and her carrier (Vistajet) but it’s all too random to me.

It can’t just be me who finds tracking private planes a bit creepy no?

If all this news turns out to be fake, many people will owe Céline an apology

Well maybe not Céline, but definitely the ESC/EBU...

[Matt96]

Just to clarify — I was referring to Céline specifically, since a lot of the speculation unfairly targeted her. That’s why I think she’s the one who’d deserve an apology

 

[stevo]

If she doesn’t attend, and the organisers back-track and say her health prevented her, I think this would be very unfair if she had never intended to in the first place.

 

We’ll just have to wait guys! Enjoy the rollercoaster!

Eurovision director Martin Green told AFP the situation had become a great guessing game.

 

"Wait and see," he said, cryptically.

 

Given the show's giant cast and crew -- and 6,500 fans watching the untelevised public dress rehearsals -- Green said there was no point asking people to keep a secret.

 

However, he said people could be brought on board in keeping a surprise -- the approach successfully taken when he oversaw the London 2012 Olympics ceremonies.

 

Saturday's final has been micro-rehearsed down to the last second, but co-presenters Sandra Studer and Hazel Brugger admitted they were in the dark.

 

"There is still some hope that she could come. Honestly, we don't know -- and that's not a lie," said Studer, who represented Switzerland at Eurovision in 1991, three years after Dion.

 

"She might decide to come but we don't know," Studer said, adding that they had prepared as if Dion would not be there.

 

"We love her so, so much and it would have meant the world to us to have her with us."

Why does that last sentence sound like she’s not coming…

[Nmj]

How would the BBC know it’s Celine’s jet? They track celebrity planes now? My favorite part is when she says…”Celine Dion’s private jet is here but we don’t know if she’s on it…”

 

This whole thing has been a mess from day one….

[scielle]

How would the BBC know it’s Celine’s jet?

 

It’s a news organization. Reporting is what they do.

[ryba]

Today on German radio they said she will be there!

Thanks for informing me, but I think you know what I meant.

 

They should be more focused on the innocent babies dying in Gaza rather on a private jet that may or may not carry Celine Dion. And this coming from a fan.

[comingback]

It's all over the news: Celine Dion's Privat Jet spotted in Basel.

It's getting crazy...

 

Still no photo ..

Now come on. The ‘news’ can occasionally be lighthearted and obviously during the Eurovision segment, they’re going to mention Celine…that’s me defending the BBC. They do plenty of reporting on what’s being done to the Gazan people

well they would report if the Pope was flying somewhere, Prince William, etc. and because it's part of some confirmed trip. Have they ever reported about the presumed private jet being flown by supposedly someone famous that they just tracked online? That's odd

[comingback]

According to a guy on X, Celine is in Nice right now?

[Matt96]

Just a pile of lies and speculation about Céline

Did they track it though or are they just taking up the rumoured reports her jet was there? It’s all a bit of a mess. She’s in Nice, she’s in Basel, she’s in Vegas on her sunbed….

[stevo]

Meanwhile, Feature Friday is underway 😄

[zuv]

Ok so safe to say she’ll be there. Now the question is: will it be lipped or live?

 

After the olympic backlash about her lipping (they all lip synced anyway) and that fashion show, can she pull of a 3rd lipped song in arrow? 😬

 

I’m already stressed about it lol

The BBC would not take a random rumor and report it as fact.
