[Discussion] Celine Dion Speaks About Music Industry And Over Sexualised Young Artists



Celine Dion is clearly a Diva who isn't afraid to give her opinion. Speaking to Access Hollywood on the promotional trail for new single Loved Me Back To Life, the Diva was asked her thoughts on the younger generation of music stars who use controversy to sell their product. But what did she say? Find out below...

Looking visibly concerned about the issue, the Diva- who wisely didn't name names, despite the suggestion made via a cut to Miley Cyrus's performance at the MTV VMAs- spoke generally, saying; " People are selling their souls...when you start in life with selling your soul, what do you have to offer?", adding how it "hurts to watch".

But what do you guys think? It's clear controversy sells. You only need to look at the YouTube views (and subsequent publicity) Miley Cryus has gotten for new video to single Wrecking Ball- which featured the singer nude and suggestively licking a sledge hammer- to see how powerful a tool it can be. And it isn't just the Divas using body to sell. Robin Thicke took a similar route this year with the video for his chart-topping hit Blurred Lines. Though once again it was the female form which caused the clutching of pearls.

It could be argued that the older generation, of which Celine is part of, is looking back at their own youth and its respective music industry through rose-tinted glasses. After all, controversy and the music industry have always gone hand in hand. This being so, is it wrong to chastise a new generation of singers for being risque to shift units, or is it actually the case that they're going too far in their desire to shock and generate attention?

  1. "Going too far"?
    LOL I am amazed at what "shocks" people these days. In my memory it used to take a bit more for people to be "shocked"


    I think whether an artist is "selling his soul" very much has to do with why they do what they do and in how far it is their own choice.
    And I think there is no difference in that between now and Celine's early career.

    Obviously "shock" can be very advantageous in pop music.

    I wonder though, how many are actually "shocked". Seems to me the bigger hype and attention results, as Miley herself pointed out in a recent interview, from the actions of the media.

  2. She's right. Being sexy is one thing, but using sex to promote singles and chock people is just too cheap. My problem with Miley performance was the waste of talent, because she really blew some strong notes that night, It was a good surprise to me, but the dance, and the sex movements... ohh Gosh! Trash!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Did you really mean "the latter" ? Because I would say controversy has always shown to serve a purpose. Most actually is created in order to serve a purpose or some kind of agenda.

    ReplyDelete
  4. ROFL And that comment comes to you from the guy who has the foulest mouth on the blog and is simply incapable of referencing anything other than through sex. But he is bothered by "sex movements".

    ReplyDelete
  5. Btw though Miley's video has now almost reached 100 million views (99,799,520), the video of just the audio of wrecking ball also drew 14 million views.

    ReplyDelete
  6. LOL I was really thinking both serve a purpose. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  7. I don't see how that changes the point of its shock value selling it.

    ReplyDelete
  8. You can't show your sexiness without showing your sexuality.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Oh I'd say a lesbian is way less impressed with female nudity than a hooker obsessed manchild Luis.

    In the meantime your fan addled brain failed to get the point. which went to the hypocrisy of your comment.


    And way to prove that with a reply once again demonstrating you are incapable of relating in any other way than through the sexual. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  10. It goes to the fact that a lot of people are interested in the song itself.

    ReplyDelete
  11. LOL bitches looking so pressed!

    Celine is an "Angel"

  22. I would say that the second point (the one below) is a good point that the number of views doesn't correlate with the number of sales, but I don't think any of them have the shock value. You also raised a good point that a lot of people have became interested in that song. So for the most part I agree thanks for the clarification. :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm quite tempted but I will have to refuse :(. I thought you were into women?

    ReplyDelete
  24. IKR...Lol... Considering how his posts flip flop he is most likely bi.

  44. On another note have you heard of phyllis Hyman I was wondering if you say she is a contralto or low mezzo

    ReplyDelete
  46. She comes off as a dark lyric mezzo but I need to be sure.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Ok I love her voice this is two of her performances IDK if that helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrsVUy-cicE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pSku1OUaXY

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yes, first 30 seconds in she proved she was a mezzo. LOL Infact her voice is very, very, very feminine.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love it I am so sad she was so troubled.

    ReplyDelete
  50. hahahaha... U wouldn't have a chance, HOE.

    ReplyDelete
  51. sit down, U bottom hoe. hahahahahahahahaha

    ReplyDelete
  52. Don't agree or disagree. Opinion is opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  53. "people" may not but I am betting music lovers will. In ten years I hope she got it out of her system and moved on to the music I think she would be best at. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  54. You are right those videos don't have "shock" value but the issue there was that "shock" value gets a video loads of views. The purpose of which surely is to get big sales?
    I always figured that is the goal of "shock" in pop music ultimately...sell records.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Oh don't do it Mark..this is a dude in who's experience a hoe costs 3 $. You don't want to know where he stuck it already? ;-)
    Think of your health Mark!

    ReplyDelete
  56. LOL the diss is mostly at the stan and his ears that aren't working properly. I am just being realistic about Mariah.
    How anybody cannot hear the difference between her Live today and when she was truly awesome...is beyond me.
    And she WAS truly awesome! I mean...

    ReplyDelete
  57. That is dear Luis because any time these days she is singing well...she IS miming.
    Her bad has been going on about a decade now. :-(

    ReplyDelete
  58. LOL the deluded sod continues to think it is punishment to us if he would stop talking.

    ReplyDelete
  59. And again you sad sod...that constitutes a Win for all of us when you "punish" us with your silence

    ReplyDelete
  60. I think Miley is putting a bad reputation on my generation of singers. We have alot of great singers, Ariana and Demi just to name a few. Though Selena G is not a great singer she is extremely popular, and is a good rolemodel for her young fans. And they all prove that you can achieve success WITHOUT sex/nudity/shady behavior etc.
    What Miley is doing is sad, desperate and embarrassing. She is much worse then Rihanna when she was her age. When Rihanna was naked in music videos it was in an artistic way. I'm thinking of the umbrella video. Not just to "be yourself" and provoke. I hoped (Miley) would become more mature and ditch the stripper/slut approach after the parents of the children she entertains, criticized her to a 2 year break when she started to wear very little clothes and did strippermoves on stage.

    ReplyDelete
  61. It's a blessing.

    ReplyDelete
  62. lol, those bitches can't have a chance next to Mariah. You're a HATER now, hoe. So sad!



    Watch what a singer can do. Mariah's voice is there to blow some foofs ans kick some hoe haters' ass. Fuck off:

    ReplyDelete
  63. fuck off, hoe. Find something to do.

    ReplyDelete
  64. ROFL "those bitches" Obviously you didn't even bother to listen since those are all the same singer.
    Of course the argument was never intended for your tone deaf ears anyway.

    But loving how you are still demonstrating my point. Where I can post a dozen videos of that singer singing full songs awesomely, what you can put up against that is .....a 6 minute compilation of several performances.
    A video mind you of bits of quite average belting. And of course there are these

    Again same answer as well..no, I am not going to "fuck off"
    I am going to come back and respond to your foul mouthed falsehoods every time.
    And the only one being anybody's "bitch" is you sad sod. You just are so sad, you don't even realize how you are in fact everybody here's "bitch"
    Keep on taking it baby! :-)

    and of course there's this

    ReplyDelete
  81. there's no conversation with someone who thinks every Mariah's good performance is lipping. I'm done with you. Talk to the hand now.

    ReplyDelete
  82. LOL Congrats...you had to give it many tries and go back 4 years and finally found exactly one good performance.

    ReplyDelete
  83. U hoe, tha it's like that performance was 2005, and the Hate u performance was 2009. U are the one who went back 4 years. Eat that:

  84. I could swear you promised that before Luis. Bye bye then.

    I am guessing now that you called me "hoe" a dozen times, "bitch" several times and even had to resort to 'dyke"...you are done demonstrating who really is trash here. :-)

    All the while you had to go back 4 years and give me Mariah lipping, some very average vocals and 6 minutes of average belting compiled from several concerts, before you managed to find 1 good performance from what you claim is "still the best singer in the world".
    And in the mean time Mariah is still sounding like this today
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gae1rI9Ebgo

  85. Still sounds like that though. :-)
    And you could only find the one good one posted in 2009
    And I thought you weren't speaking to me anymore?

    promises promises promises

    ReplyDelete
  90. LOL right? He comes here seeking our attention and then tells us were boring him.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Well, I for one am interested in Miley ever since I saw her sing Jolene together with Dolly.

    Unfortunately the video got taken down but you are very wrong in what you assume Miley knows and realizes and in how these are her own choices. I'd say to anybody listening to some interviews with Miley it is quite evident this is a girl who's pretty grounded. I see no sign of her being in need of any therapy.
    I don't think Miley is an example of an exploited young woman. Though there certainly are those.

    What separates Miley from a stripper is the fact that she can sing and also the fact that has 125 million $ in the bank already and is her own boss.


    I think you make good points but unfortunately are using an example which happens to not fit that mold you speak of.
    To suggest her only contribution to society is taking her clothes off is factually incorrect.
    I wonder whether you actually looked into who Miley is and her work or whether all YOU know is...she made a video in which she took her clothes off.

    Much like say Sandra Bullock made a movie in which she took her clothes off.

    I say encourage children to look at those women who are their own proud masters. Whatever profession they are in.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Indeed "WOW" :-)
    And yes, I also still like many of her performances. I just take issue with little piss ants claiming she is "still the best in the world". Because she simply isn't. And that becomes real evident if you put her best performances now next to her best performances in the 90-ies imo

    ReplyDelete
  93. And then doesn't deliver on his promise to boot! ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  94. Completely agree. Luiz is pathetic.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Don't worry. I know how to get there. You'll like it. hehehehe

    ReplyDelete
  96. You just proved my point about how you are projecting your sex desires onto us. Thank you for that. I'm flattered but no.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Mariah sounds like a queen. You're just a hater.

    ReplyDelete
  98. She may be your queen but the best singer in the world she is not.

    Even Anouk's backup singer is better than Mariah today

    ReplyDelete
  101. I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. I think women like Miley and Rhianna are sending the message to young women that its okay to objectify yourself as long as you get something out of it. I do not doubt that Miley is a talented singer, but she is not highlighting her singing she is exploiting her body. Also actions speak louder than words. Most people form opinions about others by what they see not what they hear. Miley can make profound thoughts all day long, but if she struts around in a thong while she does it, that's all anyone will discuss. That is the society we live in. This is why it is important for women to recognize when they are reinforcing negative stereotypes for profit.

  103. Awe, death...such a delicate craft...Don't use the term lightly dumbass. Come on now, where's your practicality.

  104. I don't need to do the wishing. I just posted the facts. You are the one in need of wishful thinking. You need to wish really hard these videos didn't exist. Good luck with that wishing.
    I am afraid they cannot be undone. :-)

  105. It went to his boner BlackRobin. ;-)
    Guess I shouldn't post those tasteful , not in the least trashy and reminiscent of certain magazines pictures of Mariah anymore.
    You know the ones where she is clearly selling....music and only music

  107. She is GORGEOUS though. She isn't even my type but still.

  108. I applaud this, amazing, true and beautifully written.

  109. Wow LOL Cheers Riri!

  110. No doubt Eric. But any fan of someone who poses for pictures like this shouldn't go around calling other singers trashy for doing similar.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Oh he is sure to be the little hypocrite that he is and say how much he loves that picture and us hoes should drop dead and aren't Miley and Celine trashy.
    There..he doesn't even have to bother LOL

    ReplyDelete
  112. Oh my. Luiz's comebacks don't really do him much good.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I also find it funny that a guy who claims to be straight knows what bottoming is. Never have I ever met a "straight" guy who knows what that is. LOL...

    ReplyDelete
  114. I don't get why he would even consider Celine trashy...hell not even Miley..With Miley, I just see a late blooming teen. LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  115. For one simple reason...neither is Mariah. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  116. More than that, I've never had a straight guy who's practically offering other men sex, and making them his bitches. But to each our own.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Oh I know. Just making a general comment.

  118. What can I say, when someone speaks such absolute truth I have know choice but to admire

    ReplyDelete
  119. "my generation" you don't own them love. They may have success, but honestly Miley's power to draw the crowds, attention, press, views and sales, right now eclipses all of the singers you mentioned. She is polarising sure, but can you honestly think in recent history such a media firestorm over one person? Say what you want about her methods but she is calculating, clever and probably the most famous ( or infamous) person in the world right now. You wanna talk about maturity? She has a 125 million dollar empire to her name, that certainly was not just handed to her. Lastly why should she care what "the parents of the children she entertains" thinks? Not her problem. She's busy getting her first number one on the bilboard chart, its a ruthless industry and she has the formula to beat it.

  120. God I hope it's not a guy I am talking to again LOL


    Women should not be told what to do and how to behave by other women any more than by men imo.

    If it is their own choice to exploit their body for profit..so be it.



    Other people can have an opinion about that choice but they have no right to dictate other people's choices.
    Personally I do not think she is "exploiting" her body. I think she is just having fun and feels free and comfortable with herself.
    I dare say that a lot of people criticizing are in fact simply envious they don't feel that secure and free about themselves and their own bodies.


    Miley is an autonomous human being and not responsible for how others interpret her actions or words. He responsibility is to her own conscious only.
    Which is basically what "We can't Stop" is all about. I can see now why you would not like that tune. ;-)


    Most people think gays are sick, most people used to think blacks were an inferior race ( huge masses still do), By your reasoning that means gays should stay hidden because they should keep into account what "most people" think and not rock the boat.
    Blacks should agree they are inferior and quietly slink away into the servants quarters.

    "most people" are morons and anybody who adjust her/his life to the moronity of "most people" is just as big a fool.
    Miley is no fool and couldn't care less what "most people" think.
    She doesn't agree with "most people" and has no intention of pretending she does.



    Also you might realize that "most people" is rather a vague generalisation based on the fallacious idea that A: the loudest voices represent the largest group and equally fallacious idea B: American morality is world morality.

  121. just the fact that you are defending her proves just how small minded you are, and I can't have a discussion with someone like you. Sorry :/
    When you are older I hope you will understand.

    ReplyDelete
  122. That makes little sense. if Miley and Ariana are "your" generation singers..you can't be older than 20 years old or so. How old do you think Riri is?

    I don't know Riri but he/she definitely doesn't sound younger than that.
    Now I am old enough to claim Streisand and Whitney as "my generation" and I voted your comment down but Riri's up.

    Frankly I think you presenting a view which could come straight from the 1950's or as it is also know US midwest today, calling someone else "small minded" is rather comical.


    Though definitely not as hilariously comical as claiming a totally made ( by, no doubt, a team of males using a young pretty female body) product like Rihanna is "not as bad" as an obviously intelligent and obviously talented girl who clearly is her own boss.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Opie pretty much said it all haha. But you are right, you can't have a discussion with someone like me, because you are no where near in the same league as me, intellectually or otherwise, as proven by your sorely misinformed statements.
    See you round ;)

    ReplyDelete
  124. LOL In the meantime I am wondering why , after merely editing a punctuation, my comment now has been "awaiting moderation" for almost a day.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I think Ariana Grande is proof that women can do well without objectifying themselves. If I were Miley Cyrus I would reinvent myself again. She just needs to find a better balance but stay true to some of the values she grew up with. I don't know what happened to them. I'm actually Kinda scared to even ask...

  126. I'm str8, U hoe, but not dumb.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Sarcasm - still an unkown art for some little minds.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Hoe, please. Wake up from this pink dream.

    ReplyDelete
  129. uh, mama, mama, mimi, Mariah!

    ReplyDelete
  130. She's sexy and can show us how much she is. The others don't have her ability to write songs and sing like godess. She can do anything. The others are trash.

    ReplyDelete
  131. shut up, hell's creature.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Yes you are dumb. Don't argue with me. You'll prove you're dumb.

    ReplyDelete
  133. That's the nicest thing you ever said to me. :) I'm touched.

    ReplyDelete
  134. She can express herself how ever she wants to. This whole moral values talk is nonsense to me.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Crikey! Underboob galore!

    ReplyDelete
  136. I apologize, your sarcasm sounded unusually sincere and you appeared very adamant on having sex with these men here.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I see what you mean but by morals, I actually just meant that I feel like she's not really being genuine and maybe she is but she doesn't make it feel that way but I totally believe in reinvention. I just don't think this is working...

    ReplyDelete
  138. She's currently number one on vevo, itunes, billboard, spotify and has the most song added to pop radio. What exactly isn't working?

    ReplyDelete
  139. I'm not talking about album sales. I'm talking about artistry

    ReplyDelete
  140. We really have no idea is she is genuine or not. I think she is but others have said she is having an identity crisis because she was controlled by corporate disney people.
