The joy of Céline

As a postscript to last week's Céline Dion Is Still Amazing video, here are some shots of various audience members in rapture that I collected while gathering clips from Céline Through the Eyes of the World and the Taking Chances Tour DVD. Really, these people are awesome enough to make me want to start a Tumblr on her fans. People of Céline would be to People of Walmart what Red Lobster is to Long John Silver's. I just know it!

Anyway, these are presented without my commentary. I think you'll agree that the commentary displayed on these people's faces is commentary enough. Glowstick guy beckons you in...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally (and obviously)...

 

...Tyler Perry and Oprah. Because nothing sums up world culture like the two of them together.

And, as a bonus, these aren't audience shots, but they're shots of fans elsewhere in the video. I think these two pictures (and their subtitles) really say it all.

Celine is like Glinda, and the world is her Munchkinland.

I'm still marvelling over Picture #13 down from Glowstick Guy. Those crazy Asian's have finally figured out how to implant a cell phone into someone's brain! This gives a whole new meaning to "hand's free". What's next??

[Marina]

Celine is better than international diplomacy!

[James McG]

The way that woman in the sequins is holding Celine's hand to her face, its like Celine's warmth is nourishing her soul!

I'd be interested in seeing these pictures next to pictures of Morrissey fans in rapture. I think it would be hard to tell the difference(except for the pompadours and tattoos).

Impressive. Not a side-eye in the house.

[ploetzly]

also in picture #13 down the woman (with the cellphone implanted into her head?) is totally smizing.

[Annie]

Celine is awesome...wish I was there to hoot and hollar for her!

Is it just me, Rich, or is the pissed-off looking, diamond-ring-the-size-of-Texas wearing, overly-coiffed woman in photo #2 Danielle Steele?

[Nicole]

Now that you mention it, I think that lady is Danielle Steele.

Actually glowstick guy is getting a side eye from the dude in front of him.

I went to the hotel in Vegas where they had the Celine Dion experience. I didn't see the show, but I stopped into the Celine Dion gift shop.

I asked the girl at the counter if she ever got sick of Celine Dion music. She said no -- in fact, she often turned on some Celine when she got home from work.

When I saw this, I just knew glowstick guy would make it on fourfour eventually!

What really gets me the most about Celine's fans is how some of them seem to be enjoying the whole thing ironically...until the music starts and then they're just as much in rapture as everyone else there!

The 20th photo down (two down from the on labeled as being in China) is actually quite lovely. She's got Morticia Adams lighting on her face.

Below that, in the photo of the woman holding Celine's hand, someone behind her is...poking her hair with a pen? What's going on there?

My new favorite pastime: opening this post and kicking out the jams, which sync nicely with the glowstick gif.

WHOOP WHOOP. It IS raining men, THANK YOU, glowstick guy.

[Jacqueline Howell]

glowstick guy for your hero section?

[gee_gee]

Rich, I hope you realize that the Celine Dion documentary ("Celine Through the Eyes of the World") is in my Netflix queue based solely on your posts here. I am not even sure I like Celine Dion.

[Elizabeth]

And today she announced she's pregnant with TWINS! Her comment? "We will have a beautiful family nest full of love."

I just feel bad for that unimpressed (straight?) Asian man behind 'Glowstick Guy'.

"Worst show ever!"

Now that you mention it, I think that lady is Danielle Steele.
