"Our beloved Celine??????????????" .... Perhaps she is YOURS, but CERTAINLY not mine! When an entertainer who enjoys the benefits of being a Canadian trashes English speaking Canada, she will NEVER be "beloved" in this country.

Same thing as when an actor passes on a role that ends up winning someone else an Oscar. It depends on what you do with it once it's yours.

My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I .We met via~~--Ageless'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! ,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends.

It's amazing, she said she just posted her profile on a millionaire dating site called MillionaireLoveLinks.С’ o _M....it's the place where you can meet m'illion'aires, who are searching for their special someone. It's worth a try!
Some of you should try reading the article and gallery before jamming your left foot deeply into your mouth. TLC was offered Hit Me Baby One More Time, not Celine Dion. She was offered :I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" but turned it down and Aerosmith picked it up. duh!!!

February 20 2012 at 9:52 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI never got handed a song that someone else didn't want to record. If I did, I wouldn't say no, unless it had some technical issues and even then, I would work them out. Why ? I've written songs that I was absolutely certain were hits and they were major duds. It's impossible to predict what people are going to like at any given time.
Something that looks like a total loser, can go over big....Alfie-
This spears video looks like a poorly done michael jackson video. It's amazing how much influence MJ had on pop music.
