Will Céline ever return to Eurovision Song Contest?

[No1IrishFan]

Just now in the jury show (rehearsal for Eurovision tomorrow) they show the message again and say she can't be there "tonight".

 

Not surprised. Expected this deep down. Hope she’s doing well.

Of course they would say so, when trying to keep her appearance a surprise.

I don’t think it’s likely they will simply rebroadcast the message they already showed Tuesday..

John Katsilometes writer on the LVRJ has just posted on X(Twitter) “Celine Dion is NOT at Eurovision…”

 

I wonder if he reached out to her team?

[manu23]

Unfortunately I think that’s the case, she would have been seen in Basel or somewhere in Europe by now otherwise.

[Matt96]

Honestly, it was predictable that Céline wouldn’t be at Eurovision. What’s disappointing is that the organizers had hinted at a possible appearance, “health permitting.” That kind of statement implies that if she’s not there today, it’s due to health reasons. But personally, I don’t think that’s the real reason. I believe it simply wasn’t part of her plans, or maybe it’s just not the right moment in her journey back to the spotlight. We, the fans, know this — we can sense it. But the general public will just see a major absence, justified by health issues. And that saddens me. Just as the inevitable speculation does

[ivo]

We will see tonight. If she is there it’s great, if not it’s also ok!

[wjd]

A shame, but to be expected.

 

It’s just so maddening that there is so much hype and it would’ve genuinely been another Olympics-like moment (on a smaller scale) - I had hoped that deep down, the stars might align but clearly not.

She sent a video message saying she wouldn’t be attending. Why did anyone think she would be?

[PuraVida]

If she does attend, about what time can we expect her to appear on the broadcast?

Maybe Celine is OK with this excuse. Because she would otherwise come off as uninterested. I do not think it is fair to blame the organisers. Edited May 17, 2025 at 07:18 AM by LukeD

The mentality everyone should be having. The forum has been flooded by negative hypothetical scenarios and complaints over them.

[stevo]

Also telling the Red Heads haven’t been stoking any fires or hypothesising about private jets or this or that.

 

If we learn one lesson- anyone can write anything on Twitter and our emotions and hopes can get the better of us!

 

 

 

[stevo]

Also, also…guys- we’re all mental. In the nicest possible way. We are all afflicted with a terrible condition called Celine Dion Deficit Disorder- CDDD. It’s first effects were seen in 2020 and 5 years later, the evolution of this devastating disease has manifested itself in paranoia, delusion, insomnia, vomiting, diarrhoea, anxiety, depression, binge-eating, starvation and more.

 

One cure is known- Celine Dion’s Open Book Policy. For Keeps. Her Story, Her Dream. That night that Dublin became her Lucky Charm. Etc etc. I’ve lost my mind.

[No1IrishFan]

Think it’s safe to assume this is not happening so I can get used to the fact over the day lol

 

I don’t blame anyone for getting exciting and running with it. We all just want to see her and this would have been the most perfect scenario for an appearance.

 

If she always a no, the ESC committee are a disgrace. Dangling the Celine carrot to create a hype and get more people tuning in. People are now going to assume health wise she isn’t ready when that could be very wrong. If she only decided in the last few days that it’s a no, they should have given a more solid answer or hint that it wasn’t happening.

 

Hope you’re doing well dearest Celine wherever in the world you are right now!

[comingback]

So no Celine appearence tonight. Sad, but expected.

They should show the whole tribute again tonight.

Hey guys,

Here’s a link from a Dutch TV channel. They usually post a lot of gossip...

But they’re saying Celine will be in the final and that she’ll premiere a new song there as her comeback single.

To me it sounds a lot like Play Me Like a Love Song.

I don’t even know where they got this music clip they’re talking about, (at 4.10 min) so I’m really wondering where they got this from 😬

Just thought I’d share it anyway!

She sent a video message saying she wouldn’t be attending. Why did anyone think she would be?

 

Because even after the video aired in the first semi final, organisers said they were still in talks with her? Don’t blame the fans here, the hype has been built and has been real.

 

This isn’t like MET gala, where fans have read into the tiniest of details.

Damn. So many possibilities. I hope she will be there. Also, the song sounds promising.

[manolo19]

did we ever hear that snippet

Video won’t load for me, must be location. Can anyone extract the clip and share it please 🙏

[mirage]

That dutch tv channel knows nothing.

All speculation on their end. Now she is saying that she isn't coming.

 

They created the hype and started believing it.

Saying she stays hidden because of privacy and her health. Or that the reporter went to see the stadion and there was a lot of police so she might be there. Absolute nonsense.

They have that completely new snippet though.

 

It still is most plausible she is (at least) planning an appearance..

 

God, how stupid all this speculation will appear tomorrow when we just know …

No they are one of the last people which I believe. But I want 'their' source'. How do they get this snippet. I'm now convinced it is a part of PMLALS.

 

I posted the snippet into my story on insta.

this is definitelly Play Me Like A Love Song....

maybe they bought the song from that person who was selling the leak years ago... those snippets with an annoying male voice over were shared by the person who was selling it... but out of nowhere the person vannished from the internet... so I assume someone may have bought it....

 

now from it to be released ... I don't have faith anymore.... please surprise us Team Celine

[MaiconSC]

no, that snippet is completely new... the snippets we had before were in lower quality and with an annoying male voice over

[comingback]

So will she come or not? ..
