I’m with Featherlou - she does have a great voice.
And I don’t recall her ever being any heavier. The look, on the other hand, occasionally fluxtuates, varying from “slightly” to “entirely” heinous.
That picture doesn’t look like Celine Dion. It looks like Celine Dion after she was dismembered in a terrible car crash and re-animated by a drunken Victor Frankenstein.
And you know, there’s never a mob of torch wielding villagers when you really need one.
Oh man, if they chained my arm to a wall and made me listen to her, I swear I’d gnaw off my arm w/my own teeth or slice it off like that hiker did w/a pocketknife except I’d probalby only have a paper clip…still, I’d do it I tell ya!
Celine Di’on and on and on is terrorist. I mean, I hate Canadians, but she takes the biscuit. Godamn Candians coming over taking all our women.
Word of advice…Stay away from Caesar’s Palace in Vegas. They just built a Coliseum and she headlines.
This is how out of it I am: I had no idea until Wednesday that Celine Dion looked like that. She looks like Sandy Duncan. Also, she appears to be in her forties. I thought she was some brunette teen.
Saw her on Oprah the other day – that was my Celine Dion unpleasant awakening – crappy show, annoying singing (although I will say she has some degree of pitch perception, unlike some of her peers). Oprah’s emotionalism over her incredible talent was just truly nauseating. Also, Celine’s stage dancers aren’t very good.
(I was being forced to watch this on the tv at the car repair waiting room.)
Well, I don’t know about fat, but she does have a large-ish schnozz.
NTTAWWT
And here I was thinking I was the only person alive who cannot STAND Celine Dion. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. It seriously makes me cringe.
I just to have full on fights with my X over her, in fact. He was convinced she was the greatest singer EVAH and would become irate whenever I’d flip the station off at the first sign of one of her songs.
The relationship was obviously doomed.
D’oh! Used to have fights
Okay, I take pride in my Celine-hatred as much as the next guy, and normally I would rip my eyeballs out of my head just so the sweet, sweet pain would take my attention away from her caterwauling, but there is one exception: She did a kicking cover of the Beatles’ “Here, There and Everywhere” for George Martin’s Beatles cover CD.
On the same CD, Jim Carrey does a great cover of “I am the Walrus.” And at the end he yells, “There! I did it! I defiled a timeless piece of art! For my next trick, I’ll paint a clown face on the Mona Lisa, using the Shroud of Turin as a dropcloth!”
She needs to climb back onto the foosball table.
I am in the minority. I used to loathe her.
I saw her the day before her “opening night” on Oprah and found her energy and her dedication to her family to be admirable. She’s approximately 5 months older than me and yet she views life in ways I only wish I could.
There are things about her on stage style that bother me but over all I don’t see the same things that most of you do. While I like her hair longer, she does look older than me because of how thin she is, she seems like a genuine person with a zest for life.
Heck, I know a good majority of SDMBers are in disgust over Oprah so my opinion means even less. But it sure beats sitting around beating up celebs for being upbeat for you would be too if you had the success they had.
Oh, I would like to see her show in Vegas. I have seen parts of it on TV and with anyone that can associate with Cirque de Soleil, it’s bound to be a worthy visual experience.
Actually, techchick, I also admired her “zest”. She is obviously a high-energy person. She puts on a show and does her stuff, and God-love-her; it’s just not a show I happen to want to see.
??? Huh? Sorry I don’t understand, please clarify as I don’t understand that one bit.
< I am listening to the “O” CD at the moment and about ready to go to bed. but your comment didn’t make a lot of sense to me. It’s been one of “those” nights where it’s too damn hot inside to decifer (sp) what you are trying to say. >
If I were to melt, tonight would be the night…it’s 88ºF in my office with no AC or a swamp cooler…the portable evap. cooler I have doesn’t do shit to cool me off unless I am in front of it, right in front of it.
God the heat.
I’m guessing “god-love-her” was what threw you. I did not mean “God, I love her!” “God-love-her” or “God-bless-her” or “Bless-her-heart” is just the polite Southern’s way of qualifying an insult.
“He’s just a sunnavabich, god-love-him” … kind of gets you off the hook. 
um, “Southerner’s”, that is. Now I’m confusing you more, no doubt. It’s hot here too.
I watched a couple of seconds of her on some Diva show. I had to turn the channel when she started to bump and grind.
shudder
She should neither bump nor grind. It looks like a cardboard Halloween skeleton caught in a strong breeze.
You know, I once saw CD IRL several years ago. Without the makeup, the lighting and the Photoshop, she looked just like that picture. Ugh. I think I’m going to be sick now.
Also, she can’t sing. She can scream in tune, but she can’t sing.
Yeah, there’s a big difference between having a powerful voice and a good one; emotion and feeling is not the same as butchering every syllable into an overwrought yowl, including every single nuance you could possibly crowbar into it.
I once read a review of a duet she did with Pavarotti that went like this:
Final score:
Pavarotti 3
Dion 1
