United States Celine Dion hates Americans

Comment: I heard a rumor about Celine Dion.
Supposedly about 10 years ago, she was performing at a concert on the
US/French Canadian border and started speaking in French stating how she
hated Americans and how stupid Americans were. She said she was speaking
French because Americans are so selfish they don't bother to truly learn
another language. I heard this from a friend's dad and I have no clue
where he heard it, but he said that's the reason he can't stand her and
gets really angry when he hears her sing "God Bless America."

When I first read that I was wondering where the French/US border might be...

I think the fact that she keeps releasing albums in the US is absolute and conclusive proof that she hates Americans.

LOL!!!

We are going to Vegas at the end of the month with my folks...my stepmom wants to see her and they usually pay for just about everything but she was tactfully sort of asking if I would be upset not to see Celine Dion because the tickets were really expensive...I told her I would not be at all upset not to see Celine Dion.

Just like I would not be upset not to have to gouge my ears out with a rusty awl.

*shudder* I'll take an Elvis impersonator, even a bad one.

Good one, chillas. Yeah, my first thought when I saw the thread title was "and we hate her right back." Just hearing her name is enough to make me spontaneously bleed from my eardrums.

Probably somewhere near the Azores.

D'oh!

Was this at the same concert where Shakira said she'd rather have pigs buy her album than Israelis?

1) She performs in Las Vegas. That isn't really America, that is Vegas!! Totally different world (It never gets dark in Las Vegas)

2) Maybe American are all stupid if we continue to believe rumors like this one.

SnapDragonFly,
I heard the same thing about how pricy tickets were. A friend and I are going to Vegas soon and we decided to go see Spamalot. He is a huge Python Fan (and I love Monty Python, too. Just not as much as him). $80 for a "cheap" seat was a bit of Sticker shock. Vegas shows can be costly!
