Celine Dion KICKING ASS!! on CNN

OMG. Who cares about the looting she asks? Why are people still not rescued!

more info...

She's ranting and raving, extremely emotional..

Is she singing? Or just kicking ass? Please elaborate.

Singing now.

She covered a lot of ground....Looters.... who cares let them touch those things.... those people are so poor they have probably never been able to touch those things before....Why can we go to the other side of the world and destroy everything and we can't do anything for those people... larry tried to say we are making a lot of money for those people.... She went on... they don't need money, they need water.... NOW on and on... it was very good

Im watching.......this is the best......the best one yet!!!!!!!

She's outraged that people have been abandoned for so long.

to people here" and more....referring to Iraq....etc etc

yes she certainly did give it to "him" -

and Larry didn't dare stop a star of that magnitude - unlike the rapper they took the camera off!

GOOD for you Celine...she said everything we have been saying and crying.!

and destroy everything? Why is it so hard to rescue these people?"

Go Celine!

just bless her. Bless her for speaking out.

She has just said everything I've been feeling for days.

SHUT-UP LARRY AND LET HER SPEAK!! She's telling the truth!!!!

:mad:

I am hoping more celebrities will step up with $$$ AND speak their minds like she did.

on a country level ... is that like $2 or $20 bucks? I do love Celine, not only for her talent, but because she's a truly genuine nice person.

and shouldn't be looked down on. No one has to give, they just do.

Wow she's so honest its amazing!

:cry:

Too bad more people don't tell it like it is.

She said what needed to be said. And she said to Larry, Don't talk to me about money - he was taken aback. She was divine in her humanity!:loveya: Celine!

They don't care about my check

My list of media indencencies has grown to outrageous proportions.

I misse that statement. But I do wish people would elaborate before they hit "post".

Take it easy.

Larry "Kiss the Stars Ass" King's comments about how wonderful it was that she donated a million dollars to Katrina survivors.

Celine's response (the gist of it, anyway): "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I donated money, stop kissing my ass and start giving these people the things they need!!"

She comes from a large family (9 kids I think) and grew up poor....She has a big heart.

And I'm neither stupid or a troll. Certainly not a prick.

She is unbelievable.

She just told him how hard it is for her to sing every night, when her heart aches for the people of NOLA.

See, he is an idiot!

She gathered herself and is doing it...

injustice.

acting coach!

Knowing her for quite long here, I can garantee she's not a drama queen tonight because I can tell when she is, and when she ain't!

Where is that acting coach? Or maybe the dems should just speak from their hearts.....if they have one.

But he didn't succeed... PRICK!!

I think that this is what the poster was referring to when he made the statement to which you responded.

speaking truth to power

And now she's singing!

-- THIS WOMAN HAS A REAL HEART AND SOUL!

she said everything that needs to be said
the money comes later, now they need water and food

TRUTH to POWER is on the march.

Celine was magnificent,she let Larry King, and GW have it with both of her gentle fist.

Bumble Mumble King Fish was at a lost for words.

When he asked her to sing I got so mad at him.

But, like a true diva, she rose to the occasion!

Her voice was like an angel's.
The song was so fitting -- just beautiful.


Does anyone have the video link?

And I am crying my eyes out!!!! That was beautiful.

I've made fun of her too.
I confess that while I've been in awe of my fellow Canadian's pure vocal talent, I've accused her of having no real substance.
After reading about her interview on Larry King (just got off a 9 hr shift so missed it) I'm quickly backpeddling.
Does anyone know where I can get a link to a video, or at least a transcript? I doubt they'll replay her.

God when she talked about mothers on the roof waving at the helicopters. Saying I'm not invisible why can't you help me, as the copters fly away from them. Heartbreaking.

I thought she was some hyper gesticulating prima donna. My God that woman really has a heart and soul. I am in tears. God bless you Celine.

She is beautiful, lovely, compassionate...bless her again!
Any country that has produced so many compassionate human beings, i have to go see closer...

voice of an angel. If you haven't seen her show in Vegas, please go. It's worth it.

She's Canadian so perhaps that explains why she's rational.

These are some good people!!!

I'm so Pysched and most of it is because of the people I will encounter.

I went last year to Canada's Niagara Falls and loved the people..I wore my Kerry/Edwards pin everywhere and got into all kinds of amazing conversations.

This year my friend and I are going to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia(Concert at The Schooner Room in Halifax.."The Proclaimers" from Scotland are kicking off their Canada/USA tour), Cape Breton Island, and Prince Edward Island.

We're driving and camping out except in Halifax ..we get to stay in a Motor Inn :)

I spent two weeks just driving all over Nova Scotia including the Highlands, spectacular scenery and I bet you will love the people too, wonderful and warm.

:blush:

I was remiss at that to be sure.

friend into our country, and to wish you will enjoy your traveling and the people you will meet (and please, wear your President Kerry/Vice-President Edwards pin everywhere again) :hi:


Edit: changed "first" to "second" because I'm too slow at typing. ;)

Shocking, brilliant, unforgettable. I'm not a fan of pop divas by a long shot, but Celine Dion was brilliant -- not only with her impassioned a cappella singing but her eloquent and heartfelt expression of her views.

kick! I have got to email this to everyone!

. . .if Britney Spears speaks truth to power I'm not sure what I will do.

:)

While she was there on a USO tour, film footage was taken that showed the destruction. Yet somehow that footage wound up "lost."

* Jessica Simpson is the airhead who had previously complemented Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton, on her fine decorating job at the WH.

Her sincere emotions just floored me. She has recently often been made fun of, a butt of a joke. But it is hard to to make fun of a lady whose heart and soul is in the right place. Old saying..."I could taste the salt of her tears"...

what we are feeling. Larry expected her to be just another self-congratulatory celebrity and he couldn't stop her.

Good for you Celine - you have my respect and :loveya:

to be on king's tonight..I remember turning my nose up and thinking .."what soft fluff will that be?"

I was Wrong..and so happy this happened..I'm sure he didn't know what hit him.

It's called "REALITY", larry..you should try it some time.

I thought the same.
I'll never think that way again about her!!
She has a new fan.

(Like me...)

I watched it, but will like to see it again!

anyone else would have been cut off, but he had to let her say it - and she said everything we've been saying here for days, she said it loudly, and she said it passionately. And then she pulled it together and sang in tune, a cappella, and beautifully. Larry's right about one thing: She's a trooper and a magnificent lady. I'm floored and now, a fan.

You phrase the harmonies of life so magnificently. But into everyones life a little dischord must creep. We cannot live on that high note forever. This nodule shall bestill his voice. He has brought forth Hell. Lift your head high. Strike out at those harmonies well. Make them descend to those who fell.

Bless You and your true compassion for them.

i've never been a fan, but she impressed me greatly tonight.

As a Quebecoise, Celine naturally considers la Louisiane to be an integral part of le monde francophone. Naturally she is at least as disgusted as we are at how Bush** and thugs have hung it out to dry.

That's the end of the Celine-bashing for a while...

edit: naturally

Thank you my friend! Hurray for Hawaii! Hurray for Louisiana! Hurray for Canada!

Et Vive les bush-bashers! :patriot:

i'm sorry celine.


(but i still can't believe that crappy book/CD thing you did with ann geddes last year)

I am an unashamed baby person now (NEVER before) and that bok was the cutest thing. You have to forgive us new mothers; we can't help it. (My husband is so bad he calls me in from the other room whenever there is a cute baby on tv. we are retarded and loving it)

saying is true, she just changed my opinion of her from bad to good. I'll remember her truth telling and keep it in mind. Good going. Tell it like it is.

saying is true, she just changed my opinion of her from bad to good. I'll remember her truth telling and keep it in mind. Good going. Tell it like it is.

she was oustanding.

My husband and I were channel surfing and there was Celine...crying.

She was practically shouting, "We can go around the world to kill people, but we can't bring our own people food and water!".

She was crying so hard. She was bawling and speaking at the same time.

It was very moving.

She talked about the mothers that she saw on tv, "I see these mothers with their children and it is just so horrible! My child sees this on television and I tell him that these are strong, strong people and that they will be ok."

Then she cried more and kept apologizing for crying so much. She said, "I'm sorry, but I've been holding this in all week. It's just so awful. People are dying in their rafters. People are stranded. Why aren't we helping them? It would be so easy to help them. Get a kayak. Go find those stranded in their rafters and help them."

Larry tried to put a positive spin on it--by saying that she was doing a good thing by donating a million dollars.

She seemed indignant. "These people need food and water NOW. Yes, later that money will help these people. But these people don't care about my check NOW. They need food and water NOW!"

I would like to watch the replay of this. I'll TIVO and put it up if no one else has.

VERY MOVING.

She also sang a prayer acapella. It made me cry. Very heartbreaking.

PS--Did anyone else know that Larry King was the master of ceremonies at Bush Sr's 80th birthday party? He's a friend of the family.

When commonly apolitical people like this become this angry and disgusted, you know the status quo will not stand. This represents another break in the political levee (angry media talking heads another), and it will flood the Bush administration, and hopefully take all the compliant Democrats who supported the war with him. We live in very interesting times.

Can't wait to see the next poll of his standings with the US public. I am guessing, optimistically for Bush, in the 20's for doing good job. But the among the majority who dispprove of his performance, it will be split between those who merely want impeachment, and those who are less charitable.

about six or seven years ago, accidentally landed on his show when driving from state to state.

He was going on about how great her latest CD was and how much he liked her singing.

I had never listened to him before, so I wasn't familiar with his voice. I was just channel surfing while making a road trip.

Eventually, I realized who I was listening to and quickly changed the channel.

Now, I feed so bad that I judged her by the one fan that I despise.

Go, Celine! It's icing on the cake that rushie loves you. I wonder how he's reacting to this. MKJ

n/t

school.

I always knew she could sing, I just thought she was all fluff.

Now I know that she has a heart and she is strong enough to shout the truth.

Way to go Celine, I will never ever ever think a bad thought about her again.

Not sure how much they show as I have dialup sorry!

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/09/03/king.help/index.html?section=cnn_latest

I am so glad I didn't. She is so beautiful, inside and out.

opportunity to.

for Katrina victims.
