Celine Dion in a snit
Cats: Canada, music|It seems the Schmaltzy One has her knickers in a twist, a self-interested twist.
Last week, her production company canceled her mega concert in this town, saying the venue was not appropriate for her production requirements. It was appropriate for The Rolling Stones, but not for The Schmaltzy One.
Today we learn from the Schmaltzy One’s husband that she didn’t like the tone of some local media stories (and blogs?) about the choice of Celine Dion an for an outdoor concert in a muck-pit. We weren’t welcoming enough for the Vegas chanteuse, apparently. Oh dear.
Of course, the snit and cancellation have have nothing to do with the fact that after she booked here, that the Schmaltzy One was offered a mega concert to celebrate Quebec’s birthday (paid for by Quebec taxpayers). The date? The night before our concert was scheduled.
The Schmaltzy One shows her true colours, me thinks.
Good riddance Celine.

Hello? Rene Angelil on line six, thanks. Lean Dijon is not coming to Halifax? Thanks SO MUCH for letting us know and “have a nice day”.

Oh that is too delicious! I love snits that won’t die!

I’m with YAM, have a nice day Celine.
Barbara, there’s no snit like a prima donna’s snit and I feel this one will be a whopper.

I can see it now: “You want me to play my beloved Quebec, oh, but I already booked a concert in puny little Halifax. Just a minute.” “Halifax, I just read GT’s blog & it hurt my feelings, so now I don’t want to play with you anymore” “I’m back. I’ll be there”

Awww… I’m sooooo sad. And just think GT, your typing could have theoretically played a small part in this - you deserve the Order of Halifax as a minimum, if not Canada.

Celine is creepy. I wouldn’t mess with her. She might put a hex on you.

H&P, I wish someone would ask her exactly how she was planning to do back to back shows in Quebec and here, what with all that production requirement. Perhaps we should sue.
TB, I was thinking that all my Celine typing might earn me the stenopool Typist of the Week pin, but the Order of Halifax! I’m, I’m speechless.
Dick, a hex, good lord, I hadn’t even thought of that.

Oh well, GT, “my heart will go on” as will many others who are dancing around the fire with glee over the fact that she isn’t coming.
By the way, read that Ozzy might be coming - now that’s something I’d pay to see.
Who cares about the heart-thumping diva that is Celine anyway! And as for her husband - one word (not even a word really), ewwwwwwwwwww!

Does anyone CARE WHY she isn’t coming? I’m just happy she isn’t coming.

Tam, my heart will go on too.
Deepti, amen.

Quite hilarious! The reaction was more entertaining than the concert could have ever hoped to be.

Yes, and those of us whole live near the venue won’t have to buy the earplugs
