Far be it from me to start a positive thread about Celine Dion, but when I read this post from another site about her recent Larry King Live appearance, I was really surprised and impressed:

Good for her.

yes good on her, id loooove 2 seee the tape, go celine.!!!!!

Vous avez le droit de dire celui que vous vouliez(You have the right to say whatever you want.) My french is not that good.

Bush doesn't care about French people.

Cool

I saw it and it was moving.

her emotion was very geniune

I will never make fun of Celine again... lol.

There wasn't one thing she said that I disagreed with. She even defended the looters... basically taking a shot at the media by telling them they are focusing too much on that. There's more important things.

Good for her.

So..... What has Oprah donated? Or is it because she poses no threat is why she has all that money? I've told ya'll a that White America doesn't give a fuck about blacks and that they will find a way to kill us off. brothers don't listen to shit but that gangster rap music that's being pumped into our kid’s heads!!! RISE UP!! BE A MAN, A BLACK MAN!! OR DIE A COWARD!!! I have never witnessed what my ancestors witnessed until the past week. I mean I knew that it was going on what they do to our people but now it's in the open. When I looked on TV it looked like something happened in Africa. I've read all the post, now how are we going to educate these other brothas and sistas who have no computer? THE RAPPERS, LIKE I SAID BEFORE! KANYE WEST IS A REAL BROTHA AND CHRIS TUCKER IS A FUCKIN' PUNK!!! IF I CAUGHT MY SON WATCHING HIS SHIT AGAIN I'D KICK HIS ASS! REMEMBER, YOU GOT STARTED ON DEF JAM COMEDY YOU FUCKIN' SELL OUT!!! WHEN WHITEY DIDN'T THING YOU HAD WHAT IT TOOK! FUCKIN' BUSTER!!!

White America.... Why should I try to fight to preserve a system that oppresses me? I'm not fighting to keep it in tact so it can keep on oppressing me and my people!!! I'm calling for all blacks to walk off, walk out and stop fighting in this man's military. Let him send his sons and daughters to fight for their cause! If they want to oppress us, let them work for it, stop helping them!!! Can you imagine how strong this country would be if they started treating us like Americans? Nobody can beat a healthy black man who is in the best shape, mind and body! BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST AND GOD MADE US THAT WAY FOR A REASON, WAKE UP THE DEVIL IS COMING TO A DISASTER NEAR YOU!!!

Larry King is an idiot

So much for not dividing people into colour.

What you're doing isn't any better; claiming one race is superior is just as bad in my eyes.

One race shouldn't be "the best of the best." It just plain shouldn't mean shit what race you are.

Sometimes he asks the dumbest questions and on this clip, he care more about how much money was donated. He kept wanting to talk over her. Maybe the producers were telling him to say something to get her off her rant, but damn

I just had to vent this is the way i feel right now.
I really dig the song SST by the way

Take a deep breath and count to ten.

Oh my God!! I've never been a fan of her voice although I do believe she has a strong one. I am a big fan of her personality. She's a great lady. I'm so glad to hear her response. Celine Rocks.

I agree. She's absolutely right but the "liberal" press will also turn this into a negative. If it's not about how great America is or praising Bush and a celeb said it, off with their head! She made excellent points. And as I said with Kanye, that still doesn't mean I'm being her CD (does she release new music that isn't associated with Vegas or baby pictures these days?).

French Canadain, so he really doesn't give a shit! Connie must also really hate her!

From the CNN "Transcripts" section...

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

KING: Joining us now is an old and dear friend, Celine Dion, the musical superstar. She's in her dressing room at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. She will go on stage in about a half hour. She and the director of her wonderful show, a show I've seen, Franco Dragone, have donated by the way, pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross.

What has been your response, Celine, to this? I especially ask this because you're French Canadian from Montreal and New Orleans is a mostly French city.

CELINE DION, SINGER: Correct and I've been there a few times. We've stayed there. I've, you know, filmed videos there and so Rene and I, we've been to New Orleans. And, I have to say, Larry, that and state it as the rest of the world if I may I was watching you behind, there's a television right now, I'm watching and I'm especially waiting like the rest of the world.

I'm waking up in the morning. I'm having a coffee. I barely can swallow it. I come here at Caesar's Palace every night to perform. I barely can sing. But for respect the people who come I am still singing. When I come home at night, my son is waiting for me. I watch television.

Yes, we gave $1 million but what we expect, what I want to look like the rest of the world, I open the television there's people still there waiting to be rescued and for me it's not acceptable. I know there's reasons for it. I'm sorry to say I'm being rude but I don't want to hear those reasons.

You know, some people are stealing and they're making a big deal out of it. Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once.

The main thing right now it's not the people who are stealing. It's the people who are left there and they're watching helicopters flying over their heads and they're praying. How come it's so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second, to destroy lives?

We need to serve our country and for me to serve our country is to be there right now to rescue the rest of the people. We need the cash. We need the blood. We need the support. Right now we need the prayers.

You know when I was hearing a couple of days ago that these things are not reachable it's too full of water, maybe I'm too much like my -- I'm not thinking with my head. I'm talking with my heart. Nobody can open any roofs? The helicopters flying in take two people at a time, take a kayak. Go into those walls.

There's kids being raped at night. They hear gunshots, big guns, what's that? Those people are praying. They're walking. They're like this, hello, do you see us? We're still alive but we're dying. It's terrible.

KING: Celine.

DION: I do not want to talk to you about money.

KING: How do you explain it to your young son?

DION: Well, I have to (INADUIBLE).

KING: Are you OK?

DION: Yes, Rene Charles knows because sometimes he watches televisions with me and I'm saying to him those people went through a big storm and they will be fine because I know at the end they'll be fine and I hope and we're all praying for them. I'm trying not to put to Rene Charles something so dramatic and that's why I'm sorry for crying so hard because I'm holding it for the last week and I'm trying to tell my son that everything is going to be OK. But I see those mothers over there, they're like (INAUDIBLE).

KING: But look at this thins way, Celine, though a lot of people, we've been doing the show now for two and a half hours. We've been asking a lot of people how they can help, how you can help? A lot of people all over the world want to help. You gave $1 million.

You're going to help a lot of people live and survive. You should take great pride in that, one, that you've attained the ability to be able to do that, to be able to give $1 million. You should take pride in that.

DION: I understand it. I understand it's very important because eventually they will need that money but it's just very frustrating that Franco and (INAUDIBLE) and me oh $1 million. This is one thing.

In three months, in six months they will need that money. Right now they're praying for water so we need to send them the water. They don't care about my check. So, it's just frustrating because in our part of the world we're trying our best and we're expecting those people -- I'm sorry.

KING: Your check will turn into something. I know you got to go on soon but we couldn't spend any time with you without asking you, do you have any kind of thing you would like to sing that fits this moment? Is there any song?

DION: Oh, my gosh.

KING: Even if you did a little of it. I don't want to...

DION: Well, the only song that comes to my mind right now is definitely a prayer. I did sing that song a few weeks -- a few years back with Andrea Bocelli.

KING: Ah, yes.

DION: And I cannot think -- I cannot think about a song but a prayer. I will do my very best and I'll do my best.

(CELINE SINGS "THE PRAYER")

DION: God bless them all.

KING: Thank you, Celine. Celine Dion, she'll go on stage in 20 minutes. There's a trooper.

We'll be right back. Don't go away.

I always liked Celine.


Larry King is dumb

I got really sick of hearing her music being played over and ad nauseam, but I'm so happy that she went off on this tragedy. It was heartfelt and genuine. I may not like her music, but she has definitely earned my respect. You go girl!!!



I'm wondering if she and Kanye West are gonna do a duet together.
