You say you're being objective? You're being anything BUT objective.
I study psychology and I've done analyses on many people who are like
you. Even just looking at the adjectives you use, it's obvious you're
not being objective. For example, lip-synching is in YOUR OPINION
something that's really low. I agree with the others that it's to
preserve the studio version, with all the "bells and whistles". You
also used the word "insincere" to describe those lip-synched
performances. How can you say they are insincere? Are you God? Can
you look deep into what Celine is feeling? Maybe to YOU Celine is dull
and stupid with all those singing gestures. That's what YOU believe.
I mean, to Celine's fans, those gestures are for REAL, and they are
manifestations of the emotions she feels when she sings. Those are
"diva moves". Oh, and before I go on, a fact is something that can
definitely be proved. An opinion is an idea that varies from person
and person; not chiseled in rock; could not be proved. Ok, now "prove"
that Celine's lip-synched performances are insincere. And, don't give
me anymore subjective opinions.
I quote you: "Live music is a million times better than a studio
record, I guess you really don't know what you're talking about." Do
you call THAT being objective? To me, the studio record is better than
live sometimes. Not always, but sometimes. I enjoy live too, because,
as you yourself say, it's different. But, I wouldn't say live music is
a million times better. That's an opinion.
I quote you again: "a 'spoofed up' record as you put it has flat one
dimensional compressed easily digestible sound..." Again, that itself
is an opinion.
And how are Celine fans being gullible by buying Celine's albums? We
like the music, simple as that! We love her voice! What does buying
her albums have anything to do with your arguments? Also, how do you
know Celine sings without emotion? Again, and again, I say, that is
strictly your opinion. You gotta really dig deep into a song and find
its meaning to draw out emotions. I mean, there have been times when
Celine cried while singing certain songs. You tell me, are those tears
fake? Celine has often said that she sings to bring out emotions, and
personally I believe she does it really well. All this is a matter of
musical preferences. You probably don't like Celine's music to begin
with. I find your arguments to be awfully biased.
In the Larry King interview, how was Celine being offensive? I agree
with Celine. I'd get tired too if I'm asked the same question a
million times....not to mention, it's a dull lie (the thing about her
being anorexic).
How can you be sure Celine married Rene because of the rumour stating
that she is a lesbian? You are guessing again. Do you have the proofs?
To me, Celine and Rene are in love, even though Rene is much older.
Just see how they treat each other! I know, I know, you're going to
come up with some silly biased answer. Well, what I'm getting at is
you can't be absolutely sure. Why am I bringing all this stuff up?
Because you claimed you are objective. Now, I'm not trying to get you
down or anything. I'm trying to question your arguments. You get my
point....

Are you just stupid?
Have you ever been to a Céline concert? I have. She didn't lip-synch
anything. She had a cold and had just found out that her husband had cancer,
and she still sang live.

I have been to other live concerts, and you keep saying this assuming that we

I've been up close and seen the concerts on tape, and still say that you're
spewing bullshit.
.>The roadie who opened his mouth about the Celine lip-syncing issue hasn't
>seen one lawsuit thrown his way,
How do you know? Are you his lawyer? How would you know what's going on in
court behind closed doors? Or even if Celine has started to deal with the
lawsuit yet since she's been promoting her new album internationally in the
past month and has had no free time.
>If you saw her expressions and how she worded her answers there you'd see
>how hollow and transprent her adrguments were.
I saw her expressions and answers and still don't see how her arguements are
hollow and transparent - she never gave him a bad attitude and spent time
talking about the things that the public wanted to hear, not the same old lame
rumors about her being anorexic, marrying an older man, lipsynching, blah blah
blah.
>Celine was definitely fatter
>before,
Your arguements are getting dumber and dumber..I don't think ANYONE has ever
used the word "fat" to describe her .Celine has been this skinny her whole
life. Please answer me this one question, and if you don't, I'll assume you're
just admitting you're wrong - HOW IS IT SHE ISN'T IN THE HOSPITAL NOW IF SHE'S
BEEN ANOREXIC ALL THIS TIME? I mean, these anorexia rumors have been floating
around since before "falling into you". That's what, 5 years ago? Someone who
is anorexic for an extended period of time ends up in a hospital with an I.V.
in their arm since their body can't function due to the lack of energy. If
you've bothered to see any of Celine's concerts in the past few years, with her
dancing and running around the stage, she has anything but a lack of energy -
so what's your next made up stereotype for the day?
>I'm being objective with what demonstrated once again at her new year's
>spectacle.
What exactly did she demonstrate? As far as I hear, she lipsynched one song I
don't know why (maybe because it's new and she didn't have time to memorize the
whole song - she did sing 20 something songs that night and performed almost
every day up until that night). You'll probably say she lipsynched every song,
but you're entitled to believe whatever you want.
>If she was a genuine good sincere person I'd give her credit
>but that's not what she represents both live and in interviews.
>
So she's not genuine and sincere like Matthew Perry (lol) because you don't
think so. That makes sense. I have never seen her turn away from a fan asking
for an autograph, and I have never heard her say a bad word about anybody,
always talking about love. As far as I'm concerned, you're the one who sees
what he wants to see - even if it doesn't exist. At least come up with some
valid arguements if you're going to bash her, like that she doesn't write her
own music, or her songs are too sappy. Making up bullshit only gives your
arguements less credibility.
So, how long have you been writing for Entertainment Weekly?

Silly fool, we're all Celine fans here, so we DEFINATELY know the
magic that can be brought to a song when it's performed live.
In fact, you can see it for yourself. Go out and buy a copy of "Live a
Paris" (the video or the CD). You'll hear Celine singing live, in spite
of a very noticable head cold. It's amazing: the songs aren't technically
perfect, the colour of her voice is dramatically affected by the cold, and
yet she brings something special to songs. Just listen to her
breathtaking interpretation of "Pour que tu m'aimes encore." Then, come
back and write when you actually have something worthwhile to say about
Celine, instead of just repeating some lame rumours.
: That's bullshit. If you've been to more than a few live concerts you'll
: know what real live vocals sound like, that is if the obvious low key
: mouthing motion isn't a dead giveaway. She DOES lip-SYNC at concerts, it's
: not exactly easy to spot if 98% of the crowd are further than 100 feet away.
You like facts, right? Here's a challenge: back up all your empty claims
with facts.
You challenge our knowlege of concerts, I challenge your knowlege of
Celine concerts. How many of Celine's concerts have you attended? When
and where were they? Which songs did she lipsynch? How could you tell
they were lipsynched?
BTW, here's a clue: the allegations made by Peter Barbeau (drummer, not
roadie) are exactly that: allegations. They are not facts.
It is a complete fallacy to argue that, simply because he said something
and was not sued, we can conclude that his claims are true.
Example:
You, River, have three heads. You did not write a single word of any of
your postings; they were all written by your dog and best friend,
Chouchou, because you are actually illiterate. You have an inexplicable
tendancy to expose yourself in large crowds.
There. I said it. Following your argument, if you don't sue me then
obviously those statements are completely true.
: I'm being objective with what demonstrated once again at her new year's
: spectacle. If you want to turn a blind eye it's up to you, I guess it shows
: how gullible people really are at buying commercialism and superficiality at
: it's worst. If she was a genuine good sincere person I'd give her credit
: but that's not what she represents both live and in interviews.
It was evident to every fan that she lipsynched exactly one song in the
course of a two-and-a-half-hour performance at her New Years Eve
concert. This was observed by those who were at the concert itself, and
by those who were watching it on TV.
Now, if we could recognize one song being lipsynched, why couldn't we
recognize the others?
Do you want to actually post a reasonable argument, a valid point, or are
you just going to keep trolling?

Also during the Barbra Walters interview, Celine had a cold. She sang "Ce ne
t'ait qu'un reve" on camera without any music. You couldn't even hear that she
was sick in her voice. You tell me who does and does not sing live at concerts.
Celine, "I'm gonna love you 'All the Way'!"
Well if you were French literate it wouldn't be rude. How do we know if you
are? Guess you're not!
First of all, your comments of an eating disorder.....I believe this to
be totally false. I have eaten dinner quite often in a famous eatery in
Florida which shall remain nameless as I feel you are a threat to her
safety, and she too is there quite often. Eating light, granted, but
eating. Salads, a chicken like sandwich, veggies etc. And further more
if you think she is throwing this stuff back up, check the medical
journals on the damage this causes to ones throat.
As for the lip syncing. Come one........it is obvious that you have
never been to one of her concerts, well maybe one, but never another,
cause she sings her songs differently every night. I don't mean the
order either. I mean the ranges, some times she goes high in places and
other times she will go lower.
My daughter is a singer and there is such a thing as a mixing board used
in concerts. My daughter heard from a friend that Celine had the same
problems with her first song of the New Years Eve Concert, that my
daughter had one night at a Cancer Benifit Concert she gave recently.
The problem comes from the mixer. If the music is delayed by relay to
the head piece, of course she is going to be singing a little off with
the band.......thus it looks like you are lip syncing. If there is a lot
of 3D reverb being used ( and Celine as well as most artist today do use
this) you are always off with the music cause you are depending on the
guy at the mixing board to match your vocals with the music by using a
sync meter. A lot of this is to technical to get into here, but it
happens.
Another problem, if you are in the back of the stadium, some sounds hit
you before site does. Thus you look to be off. Big Screens are usually
always off..... They are usually on a 1 second broadcast delay.....no
reason, just electronics and power.
One thing I really don't under stand is this. If you dislike Celine Dion
as much as you seem.......why are you in the Celine Dion Music Fan site
to begin with. If you feel she isn't worth it, why spend all this time
typing out this letter.
Life is really to short.....use this valuable energy of yours telling
people in a site of someone you like all about why you really like that
person.
And before you start gloating again, when it comes up in trial, I will
tell you now. There are a lot of things in the music business that you
obviously are not aware of.
All singers and performers us back tracking. This enhances the vocals
and in most cases and is what is used on tv appearences etc.
Next time you are at a concert, look around you. There are 100,s of
people in the back ground making this thing happen, and making you sound
as great as you can, and sometimes thigs just don't come together as
they did during sound check. Next time, when ever that may be now, you
see she is in concert........get there about 4 in the afternoon and
listen to her warming up during the mic and sound check. You will have
no problems believing she can hit those high notes or the low notes for
that matter. And you don't have to be in the building to hear her
either.
Sincerely,
Kevin

>Well, if YOU can't tell what live vocals sounds like then you haven't been
>to too many real live shows. What was your previous show, Sarah Brightman
My last show was Billy Joel NYE, and before that was everything from Celine to
Aerosmith to Sheryl Crow I've seen. So once again your assumptions are wrong,
since again you have no facts to back it up.
>You're not watching closely enough or listening for live variation in the
>vocal delivery for any show
Really? Sitting in the 5th row at her concert you'd think I'd be able to see.
And I do watch for a different vocal delivery each time. Everytime she sang my
heart will go on she hits that high note differently.
>The
>roadie told the truth, if he hadn't been, there would jave been slander
>lawsuits for future lost ticket sales.
Future lost ticket sales? She sold everything out and sold millions of albums
since that accusation. And again I ask you, what is your proof that there
isn't a counter lawsuit going on?
> Same with Celine, the truth is out there thanks to the
>roadie.
First of all, stop using the term roadie. It was her former drummer. Get your
facts straight before you make up bullshit. All of us in this newsgroup watch
her very carefully (usually too carefully) and immediatly post when she
lipsynchs something (as she did at the radio city show).
>C'mon, she definitely had that bad attitude chip on her shoulder on King.
Yea, she spoke like a total asshole, giving him all that bad attitude!
lol....how long are you going to go on about the same stupid crap with no
proof? Please tell me something she said (a specific example) showing that
she had a chip on her shoulder.
>She was lying through her teeth especially about eating anything she wants.
Again, how long are you going to go through the same crap without proof. Oh
wait, since you're related to her you know the real truth, I forgot. For some
reason you keep forgetting to answer my question: Why isn't she in the
hospital getting psychological attention if she had anorexia? You'll probably
forget to answer that one again.
>Her face and bod can't look as thin as one oh her recent disc covers
Who says that? The Celine haters? Are you telling me that I have to put on
weight so that people WON"T get the impression that I'm anorexic? You should
try looking up the word stereotype in the dictionary.
>she carefully watches what and how much she eats.
Try running around the stage every other night belting out songs, traveling to
a different city every other night, etc.. and see how easy it is for you to put
on weight. Do you really think she has time to be picky and go on all kinds of
fancy diets?
>Well, even if she married George Michael or Lorenzo Lamas you'd have an
>excuse.
I'm not making excuses. I'm stating facts unlike you. You know that word?
F-A-C-T-S.
>If you can't see through all that then
What makes you so special that you could see through that stuff? Because you
hate her you have the ability to see through it? Is that the way it works?
>Glorifying what she represents is rather dense.
She never claimed to represent anything. She sings because she loves to sing.
If people like her, they go to see her concerts. If people dislike her, they
don't (or they troll the newsgroup and try to get fans to turn against her -
doesn't work)
>Your local
>fireman or ER surgeon is the real deal, no bullshit marketing job
Wait a second>!?!?!? What about Matthew Perry? You mean he isn't the real
deal?!? =( I'm heartbroken!
I'm sure you'll respond to this using your same repetitive descriptions with no
specific facts to back them up - how she MUST be lipsynching because her former
drummer claimed she is. She MUST be anorexic because she's thin. She MUST be
fake and cold and cutthroated since she's not a fireman or surgeon or Matthew
Perry.
This is false. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about! She
and René were together for at least 6 years before they got married, and their
marriage was planned way in advance.. it was NOT "a very quickly arranged
speedy marriage"! Do at least a little research pal!
LOL!
The troll is off his rocker. And maybe he has a thing for Matthew Perry.. with
all this talk about being homosexual and all...
River.. tu es très ignorant.. pauvre bébé.. (c'était parce que je sais combien
tu aimes les français.. lol)
By the way.. most of us here can read and write in French *and* English.. get
used to it :)
Pot. Kettle. Black.
You mispelled "you're" in a previous post (you wrote the possessive
"your" when you wanted in the contraction of "you are"), but does anybody
sink to the level of attacking that? Ah yes, when you have no more
reasonable facts or arguments, just attack a typo...
Pathetic.
: She has lip-synced tons of shows. Next time she does an online chat, ask
: her about it, see if she has the guts to admit the truth. Tell to her to
: swear on a holy bible or else we'll get the usual marketing pitch and
: excuses.
She doesn't do online chats.
If you knew anything at all about Celine, you'd know that. But you
don't. You just repeat the same lame lies and baseless allegations.
Whatever.
"Tons of shows"? Which shows? Which songs? Be specific. Your comments
are so general as to be meaningless. If you could back up any of your
spews with one specific fact, maybe you'd have a hope of being convincing
one day.
I specifically brought up "Live a Paris." Have you seen the video or
heard the CD? Did you listen for the obvious cold in her nose? How do
you explain that?
Or, will you just continue to ignore the evidence and repeat your baseless
claims?
: You don't want to admit the truth. If you don't how someone can tell a song
: is 'lip-synced' than your hardly an authority on discerning it. Well
: everything isn't perfectly in sync and the singer is noticeably 'mouthing
: the words' while the vocal straining doesn't match or is inconsistent with
: the demands of that particular chorus or verse. If you watch enough euro
: variety shows you can spot it in your sleep.
I can tell. I can spot it in my sleep. I knew she was lipsynching
"Live" within the first couple seconds of it.
I'm asking for the specific facts that lead you to conclude that a
specific song was lipsynched. If you can't give that, you're wasting your
time and mine.
: > BTW, here's a clue: the allegations made by Peter Barbeau (drummer, not
: > roadie) are exactly that: allegations. They are not facts.
: Yeah and OJ Simpson was 'alleged' to have committed a crime. I rest my

: those Michael Jacjson child molestation accusations. Out of court

You rest your case? For your sake, don't ever try to become a lawyer.
: One BIG problem with that argument. NOBODY in Celine's camp/management
: called it false. Even if they had, they'd just be covering their asses.
: With their quiet hope it dies down approach was akin to 'sweeping it under
: the carpet.'
Bullshit. Celine herself issued a statement saying that those allegations
were false. Again, you have no knowlege of the facts. You've gotten just
about all of them wrong so far, from this one to saying it was her roadie
(when it was actually a drummer).
: One song that was VERY obvious, if she hadn't goofed up it may gone
: undetected.
Goofed it up? I could tell it was lipsynched as soon as it started. It
sounded completely different from the rest of the concert, which was
obviously live. If you could post one specific piece of evidence that
any of the other songs were lipsynched, I would post a list of all of the
slightly off notes, unique improv's, etc. that clearly show they were not.
But you can't and you won't, so I won't waste my time.
: Would you care to wager what percentage of the SONGS were lip-synced. I
: think you'd be shocked.
Exactly one song was lipsynched.
: Why would she lip-sync only 1 song if she can hit the same high notes for
: any song. Use some common sense. If she has the audacity to lip-sync a
: song for a national audience what's going to stop her for doing it for every
: song during a grueling world tour where people are clueless at what's really
: being sung by a prerecorded disc on cue, well chreographed with appropriate
: breaks and someone manning the console during the audience exchanges.
Yadda yadda. Maybe she lipsynched the one song because it was right in
the middle of two and half hours of energetic, vocally demanding
performance.
All you've got so far is speculation...
Yet you yammer on about facts and objectivity. Right. How about just one
fact in all of your posts?
: Pavarotti routinely lip-syncs his ENTIRE perfomances including the 500,000
: Hyde Park broadcast and nobody said a word for many months until it finally
: leaked.
That might be true, it might not. If you've got as a firm a grip of the
facts about that as you do about Celine...then it's probably all false.
Either way, it doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with Celine, does it?
And still we wait for one true fact about Celine.
Hah, you still talk about being objective? Just listen to what you've
said in the line "If you enjoy being ripped off with lip-synching
that's sad." Believe me, that is not a fact. It's your
narrow-mindedness that's making you say that. What if I want to be
"sad"? What can you do about it? Again, what can you accomplish by
converting us into Celine-haters? I know, I know...there'd be less
people praising Celine. So what's your problem with us praising her?
So what if we like a "fake", as you claim. Stop worrying about us and
get a life. Even if what you've said was true, you can't do anything
about it.

You forgot to answer my question. ARE YOU GOD??????? How can you be
absolutely positively sure about everything you say? Can you look into
Celine's heart and soul? And when Celine does her gestures, it's from
the emotions she feels. I know I know, you're going to say the same
BS. It's all a scheme or plan to "manipulate". There's so much more I
want to say, but many others have already made the points I want to
make. I suggest you read those first. Johnny412 makes the most sense
in this NG (and a few others). Also, almost everyone who knows Celine
says she's a really nice person. As for your dull Larry King
repetitive argument, it's just absurd. To YOU, Celine may have been
mean and cruel. Even if she was rude that day, you gotta understand
that everyone has their ups and downs. You can't judge a person on
just one interview. Talk about judging a book by its cover.....

I'm not saying Celine doesn't lip-synch. I'm asking YOU: HOW MANY
PERFORMANCES HAVE YOU SEEN? OUT OF THE 500 CONCERTS (and even more
(within a span of the last 2 years)), HOW MANY HAVE YOU BEEN TO? stop
assuming she lip-synchs every performance.

Again, you're being awfully subjective. You keep on saying it's much
better live. Yes, ok, you can give me that interval argument (about
high and low frequencies), and I won't argue against that because I
agree. But you start getting subjective by saying studio recordings
are "bad". Ok, so you say they're "bad". And you say I'm lame for
likeing them. RIGHT THERE, buster, that's an opinion. So what if I
like one-dimensional music? So what if I"m "Low". What if it just so
happened that being "low" is the "in" thing? then what? it's a good
thing? I've studied psychology for the past 2 years, and one thing we
learn about is how the brain works and why people think the way they do.
And certainly, we learn to differentiate fact from opinion. To me,
that's one of the easiest part of psychology. And I know when I hear
an opinion. You say I don't have psychology studies as credibility.
Ok, let's see you slaving away at a psychology textbook for 2 years,
study hundred of analyses of different people, and all that stuff. You
think it's easy?

Hah, even right here, your so called "facts" are out in the open and
rotting with falsehood. A FACT CAN BE PROVEN. Again, your calling me
lame and dull and having no life is totally subjective. Think hard on
that... The only facts you've given were about the frequencies.
Saying live is always better is unique to YOU.

You're going off the subject. You're beginning to not have anything
new to say so you're trying to add twists to it... well, it's not
working. We love Celine for her voice, her music, and her character.
You're going to say something trite about her character...I can sense
it. "it's manipulative", "evasive", etc. Have you lived in her
immediage entourage? You can't know for sure. And even if you do live
in her immediate entourage, only God knows our hearts.

You are so darn narrow-minded, I swear! It doesn't mean that if a
person is really skinny then he/she isn't eating right. I'll give you
an example. I have a friend who eats way more than I do. She eats
about 2 bowls of rice (every meal). And she doesn't exercise. She
eats quite a bit of junk food. Guess what...she's 30 pounds
underweight. And no, she doesn't have tapeworms. She's not sick in
bed all the time. Me on the other hand, eat less than her, exercise
occasionally, hardly eat junk food, and I'm 10 pounds overweight!
Explain that, Einstein! Duh, River, people have different metabolisms.
Like Johnny412 says, Celine would've ended up in the hospital long ago
if she was anorexic.

Well take your false points elsewhere. No one is believing them. I
still don't see why you're in this newsgroup. You're contributing to
nothing. Besides, won't you enjoy being in a NG that discusses what
you like, instead of one that discusses a peson you detest? You must
have no life for reading all these posts and attacking them...Also,
it's not for you to decide whether a person should think like you.
You're not perfect, and your views aren't always right. Get your ideas
straight.

I myself am repetitive because you are..answering your same ol
so-called arguments. When are you going to learn that the lip-synched
performances are in the minority? Remember, Celine has put on many
(and I mean MANY MANY) concerts. How many have YOU been to?

Um, earth to river, earth to river...who's being unbiased here? Who's
using subjective adjectives to describe a person he hates? I've said
it and I'll say it again. There's no point in your being here. Oh
yeah, we're going to hate Celine now.

Get your darn facts straight! Celine and Rene have had their love
affair way before 1994! It started in 1988 (or 1986? I forgot). What
a pathetic person you are. I mean, even looking at Rene and Celine
NOW, they're totally in love. How many years have Celine been married.
5 years. That's enough to divorce him (without anyone still thinking
she is a lesbian) if she didn't really love him.
Oui River, il faut que tu sache que si tu veux parler de Celine tu DOIS
parler un peu de francais.
Well Said/Bien dites Connie!!!!
In think you can better get him with River Phoenix...just have a look at
his e-mail address. Hell, I have no clue what this guy did that makes
him anyhow famous, I just know he died because he was hooked on drugs
and couldn't stop some years ago...a girl from my class (who is in the
drug scene now as well, btw) used to have a really obsession about
him...I don't know what it's like now, I haven't met her for quite a
while since those drugs totally destroyed her...but hey, this guy must
have been so cool, no? I think I know why River comes here telling us
shit...because his own obsession doesn't need to be talked down,
everybody thinks bad about River Phoenix, so he's jealous of people who
can talk about their idoles without all people around telling bad facts
about them...so now he has some desire to show others what this feels
like and tries to find his own negative "facts" about other artists
because he thinks it might hurt their fans...but gues what, my little
poor River, it doesn't, because we know the truth, and the truth about
Céline is (in opposite to the one about River Phoenix) positive!

Common sense means having back up for your so-called facts. Anytime someone
asks you for a source, your response is "Anyone can see it" Well, obviously
your the only one. The only Celine performance you've seen is the one on TV
new years eve, where she did sing one song lipsynced, so what are you basing
your other lipsyncing claims on other than accusations from a former band
member? Oh wait, that's right...Anyone who isn't blind could see it.

Why's he a good person? I say he's an asshole. I saw him on Oprah and easily

public and treats people like they are idiots. Besides, Matthew Perry is a fag
- he's not married.

She's a whore! First she goes screwing everyone in sight on the movie set,

just got random people's opinion if they stopped to check out the video
screen. Every single one of them said that it was WAY WAY over the top,
they all just shook their heads in disbelief and disgust at the
lavishness and elitist tone. Celine's outfit was pegged at a cost of
several hundred thousand, the whole cereomny was major overkill.>
So what, she wanted to have a fancy wedding! big hairy deal.. She said
in a couple of her interviews with some people that it was going to be
kinda fancy... she didn't say "OH well its gonna be a big fancy thing"
right there, but she implied it! So what if it was an overkill, she had
fun, people had fun you only live once (maybe) and you are allowed to
have time to have fun and go over board... i dont see why you care that
she went over board, you dont even like her! what do you care what she

you would go and buy some big fancy outfit to and wear it!

That's odd. I don't even recall her playing in San Remo in 1999. I

I'm sure someone on this newsgroup must have heard about this being

Here's your usual lies with nothing to back them up. Celine fans, just
know that River is lying because all he can do is accuse and accuse,
yet nothing to back up what he says. Also notice how he regurgitates
everything, and he avoid certain questions. River, at least be a man
and admit when you're beat and wrong. God condemns pride. OH, and by
the way, you STILL haven't answered some questions I've asked you:
Are you God? If not, don't even judge Celine as being superficial,
because you can't know for sure. Sure you gave a reply, but that
didn't answer the question of whether or not you're God. There are so
many basic Celine facts that you don't even know. For example, you
said Celine's wedding was in 1995? Way off, dude. It was in 1994, and
by 1993, the news broke that Celine and Rene are in love. Look at the
booklet for Celine's album called "The Colour of My Love". River, your
argument saying "Celine got married quickly AFTER the lesbian rumors"
quickly crumbles to the floor. River, I know what you're trying to do.
You're hiding your weaknesses with lies and you're trying to make
yourself look good. Believe me River, you're just making yourself look
ridiculous. Just admit you're wrong already.

See, I was right! River, you just look for any opportunity to attack
Celine. Her marriage vow renewal has nothing to do with Celine being
"superficial". Celine married Rene in 1994. Ever since, it was hardly
a wife-husband relationship. They've been touring and recording,
hardly ever doing normal married couples stuff. Now that Celine is
taking a break from the limelight, they're doing this marriage renewal,
kinda like starting over, but this time for real like wife and husband,
not singing star and manager. They're going to try to live a normal
life.
I'll just say one more thing. River, if you're going to stay, at least
say nice things too. Celine isn't 100% evil you know? I mean, you
only mention the bad things, like when Celine lip-synchs. Celine sang
live at the Grammies, Rosie O Donnel show, Oprah, etc. Why don't you
mention those too? There's good and bad in everyone of us. Since you
yourself have flaws, don't judge Celine. I'll add that you haven't
exactly established a good reputation for yourself. Your words, lies,
and rude talk doesn't make you an angel.
Also, you said you're in here to make a point? River, you've made your
point already, and more than that. And you still haven't explained why
you're here if all you're going to do is bash Celine. Nobody is
believing you. And even if we're "stupid", and stuff, and "wasting our
time", as you said, well.....SO WHAT??? We're not wasting YOUR time.
Rather, you're wasting your own time by talking to "dumb" people like
us Celine fans.

And, might I add, this newsgroup IS FOR FANS. When you're watching
this forum (kind of like bookmark), take a look at your personal remarq
page. It'll say "Celine Dion-music FANS". So, all you trolls, please
leave. this is not the place for you. Maybe there's another forum
where Celine haters may discuss their hatred.

He can't admit it. He's probably too cooked up on heroine and cocaine like the
real river phoenix.

Who are these several people on the newsgroup that said it? I'd like to know.
By the way, that so called san remo performance that we've never heard of being
televised or performed, no one except yourself said it was lipsynced.

Maybe if YOU had 2 eyes and ears, you'd realize Celine was singing live. See
that, it works both ways when you have no proof to back anything up.

>what do you call that, proof or an aberration in ventriliquism.
I call that lipsyncing one song.

Again, you just love sitting in your room watching tv, don't you? Why don't
you try actually attending some of these concerts instead of accusing people
based on rumors, or as you say, "obvious facts that everyone sees."
>Yeah you must be the first

Oh I see, so not only are you an expert on Celine, Music technicalities, music
theory, nutrition, but you're also a language expert. Judging by the way
you've constantly repeated yourself over and over with no proof, you have led
us to believe your still in elementary school.
>Huh, the rumours in the quebec media were out there well before that disc.
Please show us a source of these rumors. I have a feeling they only existed in
your sick little homosexual lesbian loving mind.
But, you know, that is ridiculous when you implied how opera singers
don't use the word "dude". That has nothing to do with me being a
singer. Yes, I'm a teen (nineteen to be exact, if you can still put
that age as "teenager" ), BUT I do sing opera. I have taken and passed
my singing class. I've been singing since I was in the 5th grade.
And hey, be lucky I called you dude. There are many people in this
newsgroup who would probably openly curse you to your face. I have the
decency to not call people names. I personally don't like using fowl
and insulting language.
No matter what you reply, you always avoid my one question. ARE YOU
GOD???????? You're so sure of yourself. It's not like you're an
expert or anything. Oh, sure everyone's got eyes and ears, but only
YOU out of the entire world talks the way you do about Celine. You
don't give actual facts to back your claims. Let's take the Larry King
interview for example. If you keep saying she acted cold,
manipulative, evasive, then that means there must be something she said
and did that stuck in your mind. Well, are you going to tell us then?
Most likely no, because it doesn't back up your accusations.
River,
I BEG you!
PLEASE turn the tape over
You are putting us all to sleep, show some mercy...
