What was Celine ranting about (or was it Larry?) Celine has always facinated me because I just don`t get it, I really don`t. She sings songs that literally sound like commercials, a commercial for chewing gum, for perfume or soemthing else, I mean there is absolutely no distinction between her songs and a jingle for a commerical, although I would say the jingles you hear on the radio and TV are more catchy.
It always facinated me WHO the hell is buying this womans CD`s? Who is paying her all this money in Las Vegas? It`s like paying money to hear someone sing the theme song for Quaker oats or McDonalds, i`s insane. I just don`t get it. Is it some sort of cult thing? For example her biggest hit from the movie Titanic, "My heart will go on" sounds like a jingle for perfume, am I right?
To me I think it all comes down to the "pet rock theory" which states if you promote something enough it will sell, it doesn`t matter what it is. If you promote even a freggin` rock that you found in the dirt, people will buy even that.
I remember reading an article once of this guy to prove to his wife that he could sell anything, dug up dirt in his backyard and put it in little baggies and promoted it as "pet dirt" on ebay. And you know what? Some people actually bought it! And that`s with minimal promotion, just on ebay! It`s unreal. This is why Celine Dion has a career. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with music!
Thnak You for FINALLY articulating what I think about this woman,Celine. I don't get it either! She is buttt ugly and can't sing. Las Vegas? I just don't get it either.
Celine got famouse by singing everyone else's songs, and her songs that her producer/husband wrote for her sounded like, commercial jingles.
