I wonder how many new pairs of shoes Celine has bought this year

[maki_Dion-er]

 

 

She publicly said it word for word with the help of Ellen.

 

It's gross for sure but I'll repeat again that the foreskin used had already been taken from the baby because it's a practice that still happens but it's not this underground market of baby circumcisions for beauty procedures. And again, there are other sources now that don't use foreskin.

Also, knowing all the crap Ellen does for jokes I have a suspicion she forced this cause there's a moment where you can see that Sandra wanted to interject that she wasn't sure about something. Perhaps she wanted to make clear that what she got wasn't that but she ultimately went ahead with a gross joke.

 

But anyways, I think you can rest easy because I'm sure Celine isn't doing anything to her face.

I can't help but wonder if she is able to wear her favorite pairs, or it is too painful for her now because of high heels...

I suspect those 10,000 pairs will be collecting dust in her warehouses. Maybe she can auction them off to fundraise for research.

Wow....today is my 18th anniversary on the forum. Unbelievable.

No Céline content other than the title mention, but I haven’t been following what happened to Nickels, so found this interesting nonetheless.

I went to the movies and I saw the trailer for Houston's biopic.

 

Among the images, there was her performance at the Superbowl.

 

I'm not ( not to say "not at all") a Houston fan but looked up her performance. I already knew it a highlight in her career.

 

I have a hard time understanding what is so special about it, because it's really all over the net . I guess there are some sociocultural reasons behind it?

 

Then - obviously - I couldn't help comparing with Céline's superbowl which is like...nowhere! I mean even among fans it's never talked about...the real live rendition of GBA isn't in any live compilation on youtube...

 

And hate me for telling this , I wasn't even impressed at Houston's. I mean she isn't even trying to show she is singing high notes... I don't know how people can buy it's live. ( but truth to be told, Hudson rendition of that song at the Superbowl wins : same face throughout the whole song )

[Dancing_Queen]

Completely OT, but:

 

I have no idea what you are talking about. According to eye-witnesses, Whitney was in fact singing along live (though only the people who stood nearby could hear). It's actually one of Whitney's tradenarks in her younger years. She often looked like she wasn't even trying when she was holding crazy notes. If you look up her perfornance of the sane song for the Welcome Home Heroes concerr (live vocals), it doesn't look or sound all that different.

 

TSSB was first released during the Gulf War and then again after 9/11, so that may help explain some of the impact.

The thing was though, her cover of The Star Spangled banner was released before her Super Bowl appearance, and it was the exact same audio playing throughout the stadium and onto TV during her performance. She lipped it as every single artist did before very very recently, as far as I know, singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl actually live only started around 10 years ago, before that, everybody lipped because it wasn’t set up for or designed for live singing, it was set up for football. So naturally, artists lip synched. Plus the idea of her looking like she wasn’t trying is true for her prime singing, she sang it live at WHH in a lower key and was visibly putting effort into the performance (this is not a critique)- I’m sorry, but no one who’s putting effort into singing a song in a lowered key is singing it in a higher one while smiling and not even looking like she’s trying within the same couple of months. Even for Whitney, Celine or Streisand it’s just not feasible.

Which GBA live rendition are you referring to? Celine's appearance at the Superbowl would probably get talked about more if it had been a halftime show (if only), or if she sang the anthem. Another factor is that, far as I know, until 3 years ago the only footage of her performance available online was in horrible quality.

You do realize that what you are saying doesn't make any sense, right?

 

Whitney was on a pre-recorded track , and her team even admitted it. And I really don't care about that fact actually.

 

"According to eye-witnesses, Whitney was in fact singing along live" (though only the people who stood nearby could hear) => sorry but everybody was eye-witness , it was filmed! Maybe you meant "ear-witnesses" ...but there was nobody around her hahaha. And what does that change actually? The one who holds the flag could hear her and boom the world went crazy about it? hahahaha

 

Anyway. My point was not exactly about all this ( mimed or not).

 

My reflection was about I didn't understand the fuss about it ( 41m views on youtube) while Céline's --- not less powerful - is overlooked.

 

Granted it was not the anthem ( though still a national hymn) and Whitney died in the meantime ( and suddenly people remembered she was alive when she died haha...but that's another topic) , but the idea was one performance is seen as a trademark while the other is a footnote on her career.

 

So I was simply wondering why. And while reason can't be the vocal performance itself ( as they both were on pre-recorded tracks), I guess the context took over.

[maki_Dion-er]

Whitney's just resonated with more people, it's a very beautiful and epic rendition. And perhaps being American while Celine is not was an added factor. It'd be like Adele singing a US anthem vs Lady Gaga, while Adele would sound just as good it'll probably not connect with people as much as an American singing. Same for Celine vs an American singing the Canadian anthem, Canadians will connect more with Celine (or any other Canadian) singing their anthem.

 

But does it matter really? Celine has other performances that are iconic. And I remember a video that included her as one of the best anthem performances.

[comingback]

I think most people associate Celine's GBA performance from Tribute to Heroes with 9/11. Yes, she is Canadian, but it was so emotional and I get goosebumps everytime I listen to it.

In terms of resonance and importance of the song itself, the USA national anthem is way bigger than GBA. I think this explains a lot of the phenomenon, to be honest. And given the very patriotic (some might say hypernationalistic, or worse)...there was no way Celine was going to be given the anthem to sing at that time.

 

And, as is the trend, Whitney's performance was circulated (in good resolution) for years from the very beginning. Celine's was not, and when it went online, it was in horrible video quality up until very recently.

 

But in general, I agree...Celine did a fantastic rendition of the song. It should get more recognition regardless of the Whitney comparison. But I actually wonder if more people saw her 911 Heroes version versus the Superbowl one...because she was only at the pre-show of the Superbowl, and the number of eyeballs on that may not have been as great. Not sure.

Wonderful to see her again. I thought it would be months. Hoping her treatments are going well.

[CourageCeline]

I think she's doing well...well enough to record videos, maybe she will get better soon! Our prayers and love are sticking with her

[jpatdeleon09]

That’s why see you soon Céline and Merry Christmas to everyone

[maki_Dion-er]

It's so good to see her smiling, made me very happy. I also thought the postponement video would be the last we saw of her in a while.

Could it be recorded at the same time?

I thought that. Same makeup and earrings.

The eyeshadow is a far darker colour and the earrings aren’t the same- the announcement ones were 3-part earrings, these are a single protruding stone

[PuraVida]

Short and sweet. A wonderful Christmas gift

 

And it seems like she was standing up too.

[mirage]

She changed clothes so it's possible they switch it all up.

But so great to see something 'new' didn't expect a message at all.

 

Only thing that looks off to me is that she just uses 1 arm.

She normally is so all over the place with her movements.
