Can you forgive Canada...

[Doctor_J]

...for Celine Dion? How about Lorne Greene? Are Loreena McKennitt and Joe Sakic enough to make up for those two?

[youngred]

1. I can forgive Canada nearly anything

True North Strong and free.....I just choose to avoid Celine Dion

[madrchsod]

2. you forgot

ann murray and natalie mcmasters,these to are more than enough to make up for rush and bryan adams

[Maple]

3. I'm not fond of Celine either

but there's always John Candy, Captain Kirk, Scotty, Michael J Fox, Mary Pickford, Pamela Anderson, Donald Sutherland, Keanu Reeves, Alanis Morisette, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams.....

[HEyHEY]

19. You can have Shatner back...

and we'll forgive you for Celine.

[Philostopher]

4. Eh. Also gave us Dave Thomas,

Marty Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara and the late, great John Candy. Oh, yeah -- and Paul Shaeffer. And that's just from one decade of one college in Ontario!

(Maple and I originally posted at the same time, and only repeated one, I think.)

[Holly]

5. Ha

we're searching high and low across this vast land for another Celine..we're training them at this moment...that's what * gets for today's insult. Get ready America for an invasion of the Celine's.

[Maple]

7. LOLOLOL

Oh good one Holly!

Death by screech! :D

[KFC]

6. Not Avril Levigne (sp?)

Actually, she is already forgotten, so nevermind.

[NightTrain]

8. Don't forget Gino Vannelli, Burton Cummings, Paul Anka, Terry Jacks...

...the DeFranco Family, and Rush.

Geez, Canada, your music really sucks! :puke:

[Maple]

9. We send the worst ones....

south.

[Doctor_J]

10. Not all of it

Loreena McKennitt, Stan & Garnet Rogers, Prairie Oyster, Gordon Lightfoot.

[Darth_Kitten]

11. Burton Cummings?

:shrug:

That guy is really talented. :)

[HEyHEY]

17. Leave Burton alone

Bastard!

ANd Lightfoot

[Tripper11]

12. Tragically Hip...

Barenaked Ladies,

[morningglory]

13. I was standing waiting for the computer store to open with a chinese young

man who was also waiting. Fresh off the boat, so I asked him lots of questions. I didn't say this to him, but IMO there are hundreds of ethnic music styles that are lovely, but Chinese music so far is crap, like a cat getting his tail caught under the rocking chair. I asked what kind of music "they" are likeing now and he said the entire country was gaga over Celine Dion and the "life must go on" track. Very interesting...

[Redneck Socialist]

14. Bruce Cockburn, Cowboy Junkies...n/t

[SOteric]

15. Sure. As long as I can cross the border for my 2-2-2's.

[TreasonousBastard]

18. I can forgive them every one but...

Tom Green.

There is no penance enough for that one.

[noonwitch]

20. Rush (the band) and Stevie Y go a long way toward making up

for Celine Dion. I never had a problem with Lorne Greene, he seemed like a harmless enough old man when I was a kid.
I have yet to forgive Canada for Claude Lemiux.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

21. You do realise we made Rush up as a joke?

They're not meant to be taken seriously y'know.

[bif]

22. They brew some of the best beer in the world

I can forgive them for anything.

[TXlib]

25. Feh.

Unless you're talking about Unibroue and beers such as Le Fin du Monde and Don de Dieu, which are very good belgian-style stong golden ales.

[qwertyMike]

23. NEIL YOUNG!

NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG! NEIL YOUNG!


and Mike Myers

[TXlib]

24. Loreena McKennitt makes up for an awful lot

Now, if only she'd record a new album!

[regularguy]

26. All is forgiven except:

Bachman Turner Overdrive

[Kamika]

27. why does everyoen DISLIKE CELINE???

I think she's good, especially that first french hit

[Screaming Lord Byron]

28. Sorry to break it to you. She's really not that good as a singer

She has range, sure, but she totally over emotes and puts emphasis in the wrong place. She may be technically good, but she can't interpret a song at all.

[Kamika]

29. she's better then all of us

WHat was the name of her first son again? the french one

[Screaming Lord Byron]

30. Technically better for sure, but that's not what being a singer means.

Being a singer means being able to interpret a song, not just attempt vocal gymnastics. I can interpret a song better than Celine. I'd be willing to bet you could too.
