Celine on "Nurse Heroes Live!" benefit concert

[Chantemoi]

... I just joined in on all the fun!

 

Sounds like this performance failed to put a "smile" on everyone's faces

 

I'm so glad this wasn't anything I planned my day around, or looked forward to in any way, or had any hope for making up for the past year of nothing... Okay, I take that back: her Somewhere Over the Rainbow performance for her mother was one of those iconic performances she used to do - but everything else in the Courage era has been a let-down. I really wish I had seen her live more at her prime. Which is sad, because the 2016/2017 era was pure fire. (She even seemed happier!) Something must be going on with her... maybe menopause or something?

I find it amusing to read that she never cared for her fans bla bla bla. She did for over 30 years and now she might not feel like being in the public eye. So what? Try doing the same work for 35 years. You might feel like doing something different eventually.

 

Too bad many of you weren't around in the 90's when she was everywhere - to a point where there was a Celine overexposure and she had to disappear. People couldn't take it anymore - they were so fed up. Just like now, but the other way around!

[couldawouldashoulda]

Many fans act like Céline is their personal trained monkey. If she doesn’t dance how or when they want her to or sing how or when they want her to, they’re gonna go upstairs to their room and they’re never coming down. That’ll show her! Then she’ll be sorry!!!!!!!

Kylie's always game for a bit of promo and she's been everywhere for the release of Disco! Three US network TV performances, oodles of Zoom radio interviews, magazine and newspaper interviews, a virtual concert, she's on Dua Lipa's virtual concert today - she's putting in the work, much of it without needing to leave her house. It's paid off well for, too - she'll never again reach the same heights she has in the past, but this album has been her best-performing in 10 years.

 

If Céline put in even 20% of Kylie's effort, we'd probably be very happy.

 

Yup, also the Kylie comparison is very weird because she has never been super popular in the US. With Celine, she has. So Celine promoting would actually make a difference.

[PuraVida]

Obviously some fans are more nit picky than others, but if this many people are complaining, we know there is a problem.

 

Celine will only come out if charity or money is involved it seems. It’s her life, that’s fine. But it doesn’t make the fans happy. Like, Celine only posted a #MeToo thing when a corporation, L’Oréal, was involved.

yea after watching the nurses heroes concert video earlier today (since i had missed it on thanksgiving, i had a very BUSY day with my family & all,) but even though i was a bit disappointed that celine was only in a small part of the ending song, & also did not perform a whole song on her own & all... but i am very GRATEFUL that we did get to see & hear celine sing after soooo many months (the last time was the lady gaga global concert from 8 months ago!!) i am just grateful to see & hear her @ all these days... especially since concerts, festivals, etc are not going to be coming back anytime soon!! i do think this event should have been on television just like lady gagas concert was... then i think there would have been alot more viewers than this show just being online on youtube competing with billions of other videos, @ least on tv it would have more exposure than it did!! 😊❤ Edited November 28, 2020 at 06:44 AM by thatstheteacherinmehbaby

she does it all for the money and it became very obvious now that she manages herself. When Aldo was around he offered extras for fans like live streams from her concerts, Access Limite etc. because it was not hard to do and she didn’t have to do anything extra. There were people who filmed her and provided the footage. She doesn’t give a crap about stuff like this. And this is what I miss.

[stevo]

We got 5 seconds of muffled bore fest with her hair scraped back, meanwhile Mariah is promoting her Christmas Special with Ariana Grande, J Hud. And it looks amazing.

 

And I know I’ve committed the cardinal sin. But I want Céline back at it. Doing stuff. Singing. Surprising and delighting us. So sad.

Christmas has been for Mariah what the Celinaissance fashion revolution was for Celine...keeping them relevant in each respect.

 

I admire her hustle, but I really can't stand Mariah. That said, Mariah looks like she's having fun.

question: She is still in Quebec right? Edited November 28, 2020 at 10:33 AM by comingback

Haha yes the hair scraped back. .. I feel she is more distant from her fans and music than she ever was. In this year she could have easily record random covers or original album songs from her home to please her fanbase. Or just record a little talk to stay connected with her fans. Yet the only thing we see is her posing in the forest in designerclothes. She clearly discovered this new passion. but artistically I really miss the old Celine who had so much passion to sing and to stay connected with her fans.

She does not owe us anything but we bought her music, paid for extremely high concerttickets. Is it so bad to be dissapointed in her now? This Celine is so so distant.

I'm all for disappointment when it's due, but not because of her hair. You critique her designer clothes and then also criticize her for her plain and simple hair? I don't think that's fair.

 

She probably wanted her hair slicked back just as it was for the global performance in April.....because she uses headphones to record.

Okay, point taken, but all in all - I do not say I don’t like the photos or the designerclothes but she is a singer and I do not see much of that lately

I’m so sick of the Mariah comparisons and that Celine is only in it for the money sh*t! If that were true, she too, like Mariah, would be everywhere this year releasing any old stuff she could to milk the cash cow while her tour’s in limbo. Don’t get me wrong, I’d eat up anything she was to give us but maybe just maybe she’s aware of the financial hardship this virus is causing around the world. Not so much in Mariah’s case, this, she just keeps giving to the fans blah blah bullsh*t, I don’t recall her giving anything for nothing and Apple TV will be paying her a tone. She hasn’t, to my knowledge, contributed, no matter how little, to any of these charity events and to me there in lies the difference!!

 

I’ve said it before, who knows how Celine would’ve been able to keep on with this tour once her Mother’s death actually hit, I believe the break in this tour probably came as a blessing for her mental health and well-being. She’s been through so much since the loss of Rene and hadn’t stopped working in all that time of grief.

 

Please can we stop with the selfishness and give the woman the long overdue break she deserves or if you can’t, find someone else to be a fan of, maybe Mariah is more for you.

[jpatdeleon09]

What’s the difference between Mariah and Céline

 

Céline acts her age while Mariah still can’t accept her age. Feeling teenager lol

 

For Fashion

 

Céline is more fashionable but for hairs. I’ll give it to Mariah. She has the best hairdresser and make up artist

Sam Smith is releasing an album and promoting it, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga released and album and promoted it, Ariana Grande.....the list goes on and on. The pandemic is horrible, but for better or worse people have moved on and are promoting their projects. Are they all being horrible, insensitive people? Annie Lennox is promoting a revamped version of her holiday album. Is she also unaware of all the pain and suffering caused by the pandemic?

For all the people saying she deserves a break because she is still grieving.

 

Everyone has to deal with that sooner or later in life. And for those people life goes on.

Not everyone is in the position to take 8 months off to grief.

I bet she misses them all, but I'm sure her life goes on as well.

 

So blaming the grief and the sad things she has to endure the last years for her lack of interest in her career is just lame.

 

Everybody goes through s***, deals with it, and goes on with life.

 

If she truly feels f***** up she should say hi guys it was a lot this year I'm taking some time off.

 

Instead she is always teasing us that she LOVES her job, that it's her PASSION and that the best is yet to come.

 

So it isn't strange that we 'expect' a bit more creativity and passion from her.

 

Her actions don't match with what she is telling us. And that's why you get a miss match between fans and artist.

And to be honest some of you truly kiss the ground she walks on and she can't do no wrong. And some are always negative.

And some can't handle the jokes.

 

I will always love her, but growing older I also see the other side of her.

She has a certain image that she will and want to maintain in the press, will always tell the same stuff,the stuff people want to hear from her.

But her career is not that interesting anymore. And she is definitely to blame for that.

 

Why get excited for a new album if she is going to ignore it right after the release?

Why bother?

 

But telling the press that she loves it to death, so many songs recorded, so many that they could release a double album.

 

Like I said, her actions don't match with what she is saying and it's getting obvious.

As far as I know, Celine doesn't have anything new to promote at the moment so let her be. She will have to shoot that movie and then probably record new music (hopefully) for that movie. She will probably have to do some promo for that project. Let's see then. In the meantime, there's nothing wrong for her to enjoy her well-deserved time back home with family.

[Ajax]

 

The people judging that grieving is not an excuse. Being on a die hard fan forum discussing Céline Dion shouldn't allow us this amount of bullshit.

We should rather think if this level of emotion some people here seem to experience is at one point rational. At the very end, she chose to isolate and have a real break. Deal with it. At this point you look pathetic.

You are correct. Everyone deals with grief differently and since Celine kept working through most of it, I think reality is really hit her now that things have slowed down. If she needs the time, she knows better than anyone else. And yes she has the (financial) luxury of being able to take a break unlike many people, why can't she take advantage of it? She has earned her money after all. I think some people are jealous of her wealth it seems.

[Ajax]

You sound like one of those blind fans who idolize celebrities even if they were to kill someone. Chill. Everything she has given, we have paid a fortune for. She didn't give it for free...

 

This argument is so worn out.

Blind ones are not automatically the ones just telling calm down, she basically needed/wanted a real break.

Experiencing this level of feeling because some did not see their Celine enough during this period does not look very healthy or rational for me.

Yep. If she needed a break from the music business, she should tell us (like her hiatus 20 years ago).

The performance of The Prayer in April this year was amazing, but then she only posted IG pics in the nature or fashion pics. She will always be my No1 singer, but her distance to her fans and her music makes me sad.

* Not every fan complaining right now is the type of fan that thinks Céline is a circus monkey ...

 

* Vocally, the only times she’s broken silence this year are to sing a couple of lines in an ensemble. Whether she’s going through a rough spot or not, it looks lazy. She’s spent a lot of her recent career out of the spotlight (Vegas) yet when she would perform at benefits/award shows, she would bring her A-game. I don’t see that spark anymore, so it’s natural that her core base is upset. She built her career on the type of performances that would leave the audience with goosebumps and tears in their eyes. In my humble opinion, she’d be better off staying away from these tepid performances that fail to do anything but water down her legacy. The less she performs, the more each performance matter to the fans... but then again, she’s free to do what she wants right? She’s the boss.

 

* the “one with nature” Instagram posts are designed purely to show us that Céline is “okay” —not dead, not in an asylum. But I’m afraid they are turning more and more into the street runway looks she was going for pre-COVID. Which only fans the flames that she’s given up on her music and is more interested in fashion.

 

* the bun is here to stay - deal with it!!!

 

[mirage]

You missing the point.

 

The fans who throw everything she isn't doing on the 'she must be grieving still' that's just stupid.

Yes I don't know how she feels. But life goes on. And if she truly feels like doing nothing than she shouldn't participate in these things.

This phrase has a ring to it.

Maybe I’ll sell T-shirts, keychains, notebooks, etc.

Anyone want to place an order?

[guigafs15]

The hypocrisy in here is running loose.

 

People are all pretending that it's okay with have no content from Celine at all, no performance, no videos, no talk, no definition about a tour - BTW, a tour with only a couple of new songs, let's not forget about that - and poorly done participations on charity events.

 

But everyone gets extremely excited everytime something is about to happen, with expectations of her singing new songs, dropping a new video, a new single... Then, the expectations are frustrated, as always, everybody complains and it's all ok, until someone point it out that this is all Celine's own fault. That's when the blind fans start the attacks "she deserves, she works too much, her husband died, her mother died, go listen to Mariah and bla bla bla".

 

Everyone in here, as fan, would love to have more of Celine, more videos, more concert, more appearances, more performances, more singles... The difference is that some of us hold Celine responsable for the lack of care and dedication to her career, the other ones blame the universe or her team or whatever.

 

But we're all craving for more!

I would like to know what she thinks “the best is yet to come” means? She says that about her career but it’s evident it’s her default go to answer when an interviewer asks her a question about her career, it’s like she almost gets annoyed to even be asked about her career. I mean here she is taking an interview about her album launch and she’ll zip through a question about the album, or the recording process but she’ll go on and on for ages about how she doesn’t have anything left to prove etc.
