NOOOOOOO! I just can't do Celine Dion! Gotta turn off the tv now.

[Bullwinkle925]

[jim3775]

1. Huh?

I'm no fan of hers but why such a strong response?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

3. Well, just watch!

She's gone maaaad!

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. And Larry says "what do you tell your son"...and keeps grunting.

Put him out of our misery.

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. Celine is actually showing how most of us feel. Oh Larry, shut up!

[NRaleighLiberal]

20. Not my style of singing, but she does have good pipes.....

[jim3775]

15. "She's gone maaaaaad", crying at the national tragedy.

:sarcasm:

If there is anythig to cry about, it's this.

[Bullwinkle925]

9. AArrgghhhh! I saw her on Oprah once and was definitely turned off

by her 'self-serving' attitude. And THAT wedding and all the fuss over her baby. Enough already. I did feel badly when her husband was going through his cancer treatments.
I don't begrudge her the money she has accumulated, but it seems that she likes to show-off a bit too much for my taste.

[titoresque]

33. I didnt see that

attitude at all in this interview.....not at all, in fact it seemed that she really made a point to say that her million dollar donation was nothing compared to what they need which she pointed out is ........water.

I thought it was great......Richard Simmons on the other hand made me ill with his little "oh can I take a few seconds to say a prayer?" and I felt nothing from that, it was bullshit!

[Bullwinkle925]

41. I agree..............gag me with a spoon.

[6000eliot]

2. She's not making a lot of sense,

but she's crying a lot.

[SW FL Dem]

10. Yes she is

She's asking the questions I want to ask. She wants to know why every time she turns on the tv in the morning there are still people needing help and dying. She donated 1 million and still feels guilty that she's not doing enough.

[Individualist]

27. She's made more sense

than anyone who has been on so far.

[titoresque]

37. huh?

say again?.......YOU'RE not making a lot of sense :eyes:

[charlie]

4. Beats watching Richard Simmons

in a sequin-spangled tank top.

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. She is actually kicking Bush's ass very effectively. Larry is not

comfortable with this - he is grunting. Wow....

[Glenda]

26. Then he made her sing a song...

Just to stop her rant. I want more of the rant! It was awesome!!

:woohoo:

[Spazito]

6. She is saying Get those people out, don't give excuses, get them out

She is crying.

[Hello_Kitty]

7. I never thought I'd say this

But I'm now a Celine Dion fan. Knock me over with a feather.


YOU GO GIRL!!! :yourock:

[Uzybone]

22. So am I

WOW!In fact I love her now. The passion she has for this is amazing.

[Reciprocity]

35. Ditto for me too.

She said something like.

We can send helicopters over there to kill people, but they can't pluck people off a roof.

Well done Dion!

[titoresque]

38. Add another huge fan!

I always thought she had a beautiful voice but other than the Titanic theme, I really can't name her songs or sing along........but I just love her now!

[Amonester]

36. She is one of "our" most famous Liberals here, actually ;-)

In fact, if it wasn't for her husband, I'm pretty sure she would get herself "involved" in politics, but he's been there for too long (not really her fault... she was so young then, and her and her (poor) family wanted her to "succeed" so much, they practically "BEGGED" him to become her "manager" at the time)

She comes from a very modest (but very good-hearted) family.

He "managed" to make her "succeed" and kind of "controlled" her political "emotions" quite effectively since she was very young.

All I can say is bravo Celine for speaking your "true" feelings!!

[Inspired]

8. She's actually very good right now.

Very emotional. Driving home the point. I like her now.

[LSK]

12. wow she is crying

She gave $1million

[SeveneightyWhoa]

13. "Cheese whiz".

Is that what she just said? Or was it "gee whiz"? ;-)

[Amonester]

39. That's kind of typical "Quebecois" slang to express shock. nt

[SeveneightyWhoa]

40. Cheese whiz?

Are you serious?

I'm Canadian - I've never heard the term "Cheese Whiz" used to express shock!

[Amonester]

47. Yes, I am serious. Many (not all) French speaking Canadians

use that "Frenglish" expression in and around Montreal, but not everywhere in Quebec. Celine Dion was reared in a little suburban township north of Montreal called Charlemagne.

For her using that typical expression was probably just a mistake due to her emotional state of the moment. After all, she only learned the English language partially in school, and later on just before she recorded her first song in English taking private lessons when she was in her late teen years (as far as I know).

She really meant to say "Gee-whiz" but "slipped" it into "Cheese whiz" (Quebecois 'slang': very 'regional': not used across the province: lest across French speaking Canada).

[SeveneightyWhoa]

48. Haha, interesting.

Never knew this..

[Libby2]

14. I love her and she is kicking ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Celine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[titoresque]

28. She did!!!!

She was very real, and very motherly......and just a beautiful caring soul!

[bushisanidiot]

16. Celine is bawling, but she's nailing the idiots who are complaining about

looters!! she's saying that these people are poor and so what if they steal jeans and t.v. sets.. a lot of these people haven't touched things like that before, so let them touch these things for once in their lives..

omigod.. she's very emotional, but she's speaking from the heart and not holding back on nailing awol bush for going into iraq to kill people but he can't help people here in this country..

god bless her!!

[RevCheesehead]

17. Your loss

She's really speaking passionately.

[Spazito]

19. She is one righteously angry woman, and one hell of a rant

that needed to be said, imo.

[Garbo 2004]

21. Oh she's on a rant about the people left there needing help and not

getting it. The attention paid to the looters, so they stole, who cares?

The money and resources sent to Iraq for a lie.

Says she doesn't want to talk about money when people need water.

[Cha]

34. Don't think larry knew what he getting

into..one of the ultimate bush toadys.

[Garbo 2004]

43. yeah Larry was definitely not comfortable. She'd been holding it in

as she said and just let it out...on national tv. What so many of us had been thinking. Rather than patting herself on the back for bravely giving a million bucks as some might do, she was just frustrated and outraged at what had been allowed to happen. Even I was surprised when she threw in Iraq. A completely human reaction for anyone who can empathize with another's plight.

[Cha]

46. It was a gift to humanity that Celine

had the knowledge to say that about "Iraq"!

"Even I was surprised when she threw in Iraq. A completely human reaction for anyone who can empathize with another's plight."

A koolaid drinker yelled at me and my friend(she overheard us talking about it) the other day that .."THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISN'T GOD..THEY CAN'T DO EVERYTHING!!"

I "threw in Iraq", too, when I said..bush slashed the funding for the levees and gave it to Iraq.."AND I KNOW THEY'RE NOT GOD..THEY'RE THE FURTHEST THING FROM IT!"

[karlrschneider]

23. Hmph...never heard of him

:eyes:

edit: read the rest of the thread so, correction:

never heard of her.

[LSK]

24. "they dont need checks, they need water, right now"

[titoresque]

31. Amen!

Damn that was a good interview!!!
I would love to go see her in concert......I am just so impressed right now! I've always appreciated her voice but I've just become a huge fan!!!!!

[demo dutch]

25. Don't usally care for her, but appreciate her speaking out!

[FULL_METAL_HAT]

29. "How come its so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone

"How come its so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second -- to destroy lives. We need to serve our country!"

WOW!

[dchill]

30. Hey! For once, I was interested in hearing...

what she had to say. Always appreciated her voice, though.

[tjdee]

32. And she has a show in twenty minutes....geez.

This is how people feel. I feel that way, many here feel that way, and for someone who many people like and adore, seeing that did a world of good, for the cause of good.

Yay Celine!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

42. When is Celine on - anybody know? Is Larry King on for more than 1 hr?

Is is some special 2 hr thing tonight or something?

[Spazito]

44. She is the next one on after the exercise guy, I believe

(I refuse to even type his name, lol)

[Stinky The Clown]

45. She musta eaten a mint before she sang ......

and her green tongue is very distracting
