"You And I" by Celine Dion

[Warpy]

1. I could generate pages of nasty prose over this one

but I think I'll just sit back and let the selection speak for itself.

[Capn Sunshine]

3. really. It's just too much of a gimmee

I was really pulling for James Brown's "Get Up Offa That Thing"

[Totally Committed]

2. Wow, that'll really get people on their feet!

:sarcasm:

That's a joke, right?

TC

[HughBeaumont]

6. . . . It will have them RISE

and head to the exits.

[napi21]

4. I like it. I received the email too, and went to the site to listen.

The first time I heard it I said it was a good choice. It reminds me of Bill's campaign song "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow", but then you folks probably didn't like that one either!

[William769]

5. This contest was a piece of art

Even the naysayers are still reeling from this one.

This one little action has bought so much attention to Hillary it's brilliant!

The shit has already started from the above thread as you can see, thankfully, they are a super minority (And I'm not talking just DU here).

WTG HILLARY!

[ronnykmarshall]

31. and this suprised you?

I can't wait for you know who to screech about how Obama's theme would be more "young and hip".

[William769]

37. LOL!

[LisaM]

36. I don't like "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow"

both songs (to me) are somewhat tuneless, and sung by women with thin, reedy voices.

[Kikosexy2]

7. How about ...

You Dropped Obama on Me Baby...replacing "bomb" with "Obama"

[ElizabethDC]

8. I'm not crazy about the song, but the video is hilarious

Frankly, I think this was one of the worst songs in the group, but it's not horrible, it's just no great.

[William769]

10. I just saw the video your speaking of Awesome!

Was that the guy from the Sopranos?

[ElizabethDC]

14. Yep, here's an article about it

http://www.centredaily.com/news/politics/story/129711.html

Admittedly, I didn't "get it" at first because I hadn't seen the Soprano's finale - but then it made sense once someone mentioned that!

[William769]

15. Thanks for the link.

[SharonRB]

24. Yes, he was.

That was brilliant! Very well done.

[Arugula Latte]

9. This means HIllary is automatically disqualified from running.

NEXT!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

11. The take away your voting rights for being a felon...

This is far more serious. She might be stripped of her citizenship.

[Contrary1]

12. Excuse me while I gag:

You And I

High above the mountains, far across the sea
I can hear your voice calling out to me
Brighter than the sun and darker than the night
I can see your love shining like a light
And on and on this earth spins like a carousel
If I could travel across the world
The secrets I would tell

Chorus:
You and I
Were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We’ll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That we’re soaring
That we’re floating up so high
‘Cause you and I were meant to fly

Sailing like a bird high on the wings of love
Take me higher than all the stars above
I’m burning, yearning
Gently turning round and round
I’m always rising up I never
Want to come back down

Chorus

You and I
Were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We’ll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That you and I
Were meant to fly

that were soaring we are floating up so high cause

You and I were meant to fly

On Edit: I loved the video, wish they would have shown Chelsea though.

[William769]

13. Well so far this year she's been flying in the polls!

One thing people need to remember it was the people that picked this song not her. Now theres a concept leaving it in the people hands, now where have I heard that before?

[NYCGirl]

16. You ever get the idea that most of the people voting for that were joking? NT

[MGKrebs]

17. Dion is CANADIAN. Why does Clinton hate America?

Or at least the United States of America anyway.

[William769]

18. The better question is why does the world love the Clintons and hate Bush?

[Alamom]

19. I think the video is great....even mentioning Chelsea. My first

choice for the song was a write in....Tina Turner, "Simply the Best."

A lot of good choices and I'm sure a lot of votes. A lot of fun & different.

[Lobster Martini]

20. Great PR. She's outsourced her own theme song to a French Canadian singer.

One less campaign theme song for an American. This is going to come back to haunt her.

[Alamom]

21. All those Dems who went to Canada after the 04 election must have voted

:shrug:

[William769]

22. Like I said in an earlier post she did not pick the song the people did!

So how would that come back to haunt her?

[Contrary1]

23. The Repubs will use it against her. n/t

[William769]

38. What haven't they used against her?

[ronnykmarshall]

48. They're getting tips from DU daily.

Who the fuck needs Karl Rove when you've got DU's Hillary Haters?

[Contrary1]

51. I'm not a "Hillary Hater"...

I just figure the other side will pick up whatever they can to use against her and the other candidates, and run with it.

[ronnykmarshall]

52. Did I say you were?

[Contrary1]

53. No you didn't...did I say you did?

But it gave you a chance for another snarky post, didn't it?

[ronnykmarshall]

54. Glad you're monitoring.

Thanky!

[AZBlue]

58. Some days I think they are Karl Rove!

:banghead:

[ronnykmarshall]

30. Jesus H. Christ

:eyes:

[LBJDemocrat]

34. Hahahahahha.

Yeah. The GOP sustains itself off French-bashing. You can bet they'll point it out.

[iamahaingttta]

25. Eeewwww, GROSS!!

Now I'm DEFINITELY not voting for her.
There's some frequency in Celine Dion's voice that makes my head explode.
I was unable to get through the movie Titanic partly because of that. (and partly because it sucked.)

Hillary's a total loser. Sorry!

[ronnykmarshall]

32. Oh yeah, I'm sure THAT was the last straw ..

:eyes:

[William769]

39. How many stupid things are we going to hear about why a personson won't vote for her?

Do you want to keep coint, or should I?

[ronnykmarshall]

49. I'm keeping a mental list ...

This one runs close to the great "young and hip" threads.

[Nedsdag]

26. If she would've chosen "You And I" by Rick James instead

then I might think about voting for her in the primaries.

[emilyg]

28. She did not choose it

People did

[LBJDemocrat]

33. Is it possible that

Is it possible that people with malicious intentions pushed for this song?

I like Celine Dion, but you can't deny it's a stupid move.

[William769]

40. It's been brilliant so far.

Only time will tell if that changes.

[ronnykmarshall]

43. And look at the typical responces

I LOVE the ones throwing shit fit that Celine is a ..... gasp .... CANADIAN!! Granted she doesn't live there any more ... but all is fair when comes to Hillary bashing.

Isn't Micheal J Fox a Canadian too?

[William769]

45. If thats all that got to Bitch about

She is White House Bound! :rofl:

[Nedsdag]

56. Ah, semantics.

If the people had chosen "You and I" by Rick James, then I would consider voting for her in the primaries.

Better?

[William769]

57. semantics?

:rofl:

At least you can make me laugh.

[Adelante]

27. Blech!

No accounting for taste, I guess.

[ronnykmarshall]

29. I love the Soprano's like clip.

:rofl:

[LisaM]

35. Grrr. I agree with those who say she should have chosen a US artist

Last time they had that Fleetwood Mack song; half that group was British, including the lead singer on that song, Christine McVie.

I don't particularly like Celine Dion, but really, choose some homegrown talent! The Canadian recording industry protects their artist (to their credit, they have some really fantastic music up there). I would prefer that Senator Clinton sent a message that she intends to be a patron (matron?) of the arts here at home. It's been a dry enough time for artists lately.

[ronnykmarshall]

41. Last time I checked

La Celine no longer lives in Canada. She currently lives in Las Vegas and has a home in Miami. I don't think she's lived in Canada for over a decade.

I can't believe that ........ oh never mind. ANYTHING Hillary does is going to be ripped to shreds.

[William769]

42. Last time they had a group "Fleetwood Mack "

They ended up in the White House for 8 years. :shrug:

[ronnykmarshall]

44. Don't they got a singer with boy's name?

Steven Nicks or something like that?

[William769]

46. Stevie Nicks (she). and I love her!

Long time ago.

[ronnykmarshall]

47. Stevie's my idol.

I just saw her last month.

She's WAY up on my gay icon list.

[LisaM]

55. I like Stevie Nicks, but she didn't sing lead on "Don't Stop Thinking About

Tomorrow". That was Christine McVie, whose voice bugs me.

[ronnykmarshall]

61. Lindsey and Chris both sang lead on it.

I like Chris' voice. "Songbird" is my favorite of hers.

[avrdream]

50. Loved the video.

That was my third choice for song. It wasn't uplifting enough in tone for me but I'll settle for the words "flying".

[illinoisprogressive]

59. Celine dion????? bwaaaahahahahahahahaha!!! what a joke!!!

[JI7]

60. hahhaha, i bet many who voted for this are not supporting her

[bunnies]

62. Celine Dion? I think the poll was freeped. n/t
