I've never understood why people were laughing at her. She was truly schoked on how the government was not doing anything to help those people. Indeed take a kayak and save people. It's more important than her 1 million dollar. She grew up in a very poor family and she knows than money is not everything.
Take a kayak I open the televisions Let them touch those things Helicopsters I’m too much like my im not thinking No one can open any roofs Big guns what’s that
yes she is truly amazing , I laugh at the people laughing at her , we need more of this imperfect heartfelt speech than the same old politicaly correct speech . And this is her second language I'd love to see how an english speaking person would handle this on national televesion trying to make his point in French.
@@user-ll7fv6tu7k so you’re making fun of a French Canadian speaking in another language which is English. She’s smarter then you bro. She speaks 5 languages you are to be laughed at. Get an education.
Even I thought she was strange when I saw this all those years ago but watching now I can see what an amazing person she is. I don't think she is only seeking attention. She really cares.
She's not French, she's from Quebec, that's not even the same continent as France. Are you serious? French is her native language, that doesn't mean she's a French citizen
celine is definately a passionate person, but this suprises me to see her like this but it just shows how passionate she is towards people. She has a great heart!
ActuallyNo its because its fairly obvious she has 0 clue whats going on, good on her for sending money, she should. you gotta admit this is funny, she says let them touch a flatscreen, like thats all they ever wanted to do. completely out of touch with reality. my opinion is shes pissed at red cross for being shitty and she realizes her money isnt really doing anything. sad situation we live in, cant be solved in a capitolistic society either good luck humanity lol
+ActuallyNo Also, taken out of context, it was pretty insulting the way she talked about the people of New Orleans. It's almost as she was saying that they weren't intelligent enough to understand that stealing stuff was wrong. In this cases, she would have looked a lot smarter if she had simply stated the obvious: that the vast majority of people were only trying to survive while a few bad apples were shamefully taking advantage of the situation by stealing valuable equipment. In fact, I still not convinced that she understood that herself... Celine might be a great singer and, deep down, she is probably a good person but she is not the in the chandelier. Look at her personal life; her husband is a gambling addict with pedophile tendencies and she let him play poker with her children! Not poker for fun, mind you, poker with actual money! Any rational human being would see that it makes zero sense. Either she's blindly in love or she's plain stupid. There is also a third option, but that would imply that she married exclusively for money!
I wholeheartedly agree. Leave the woman alone, she's upset about the situation and English is her second language, she's gonna say the closest translation that comes to mind.
Why all of you just said that she was acting? Are you blind? Does it really looks like ACTING?!......No! She is talking with her heart and I believe it because there have no evidence to say that she is being fake......
if he had asked any other current "mainstream" artist to sing a song, they'd quickly decline because they wouldn't have a backing track. Celine is, has, and always will be an amazing performer.
These replies are disgusting. Her point was that people stealing shouldn’t be anyone’s priority because they’re just material items, the priority should be solely on providing aid and rescuing survivors. Dealing with theft should come after, but of course law enforcement primarily exists to protect property not people. And regarding her english, it’s not her first language, who cares if it wasn’t perfect.
When I read all this critics about Céline I feel sick, she is not articulate? She made grammar mistakes? But who the fuck cares? This woman spoke with her heart because as a mother she was so upset and angry by the situation and for the linguistics haters try to look yourself in a mirror first! By a moving speech she tried very hard to make a change and if you are not able to see that I pity you very deeply! And by the way English is not her mother language and I wonder if you could have expressed yourself so passionately in a foreign language!
Je sais que beaucoup se sont moqué et se moquent encore de cette vidéo,mais personnellement elle me touche beaucoup,elle est vraie,sincère,comme toujours,et je trouve son discours tellement réaliste et honorable.
and I agree with Celine Dion 10000% wow what a wonderful women! Sometimes you cant hold your emotions back ya know a lot of times artists and celebs dont always reveal everything in interviews and lie sometimes just to ya know put on a better image and to keep a lot of things to themselves but this was soo raw and true and shes a person just like all of us she had to get all that out and was very upset just like all of us, shes nothing but real she dont bs around
Wow! This was back in 05 dang I remember this year well however I did not watch because at the time Celine was not my thing anymore but I heard about from the forums. I don't understand what was so bad about speaking out. I believe she had every right to say how she felt. We were all frustrated during that time when Katrina struck New Orleans. She made some with English here and there but she was crying. And singing wow I can't believe she sang because I don't think I could've.
Ella dice lo que siente con lo que pasa en el mundo, todos deberíamos sentir eso, pensar un poco más en los demás en vez de solo en nosotros. Vivimos en un mundo muy egoista!
Okay I watch this heartbreaking interview, I am welled up even after all those years and I see people just being mean to her without a reason. And she tried to vent out and what was the response? Could you sing to us? Are you fucking crazy? May I ask you, who the hell did turn back then to give some help? I don't care if she gave little money compared to what she owns, the truth is that she gave it because she wanted to and not you nor me would do that in her shoes. Alright, haters? Just shut it. It;s the wisest thing you can do.
***** I won't debate that. I just don't want to, because I will just waste my time. I just want to ask one thing. Who do you personally admire and respect, just like Celine's fans do for Celine, who is a kind person and has a benevolent personality, just like we stand up for Celine. Can you please answer that?
while the singing was a little bizarre, as someone who takes great comfort in music, i can understand why she would sing. at that moment, not only was she asked (however stupidly) but that was probably the only way she could reign in her emotions.
She is still a human, why is everyone so shocked she broke down like that? Whats wrong with you guys? You think because she has money she has no feelings? Shame on you!
no, I think that she doesn't understand what it feels like to be robbed. "Let them touch those things". What if they robbed her???!? would she say, they're poop, let them take it, or would she break down again and cry about how much she lost and how she didn't think people could be this evil?
i dont like reading bad comments and everything else so i wont bother reading them to get upset, but seriously this woman right here is an amazing wonderful woman, and anyone that wants to judge her for having a heart is a pretty sad pathetic person that obviously has no life and is miserable and makes fun of people to make themselves feel better. She is a very special lady and I wish more ppl would feel like her but every1 has their own probs but i care about ppl too and so does she, its nice
I don't know why some people in Quebec are so cruel and so fast to judge Celine Dion. Probably because she's from there. I am myself a French Quebecer and I have a lot of admiration for her and for this speech. She said what she really felt about this situation. I am happy to hear this because we all felt the same in front of our TV. We live in world of rationality, so it can be strange to see emotivity. But it is not a reason to reject it. Bravo Céline!
Just read the "About This Video" text you entered and just wanted to point out you entered the song she sang as, "Prayer". It's actually called "The Prayer". I don't mean to be anal, it's just cuz she DOES have another song called "Prayer"! I know... lol. But it's an entirley different song and they're both really good and sound nothing alike. Love the video! Isn't she great? God bless Celine!
I respect Celine Dion for giving a million dollars but you've got to say she was hilarious as hell," take a kayak to save the people and let them touch those things" has made me laugh for many years. Thanks Celine for such a classic🤣🤣. Oh and Larrys a killer asking her to sing after spilling her guts out crying and shit bogies dripping down her nose rolling down her face😂...to funny
@jasdecoy just like "turn the computer on" will mean in french "sexually arouse the computer" if it was translated literaly, hehe, expressions are also important to learn to avoid mistakes like that :P
Just watched this today. Poor Innocent (?) Celine did she know that one million dollars was drop in the river for what that disaster needed? Of course it was pocket change to her. Also, was she aware of the of the magnitude of the larceny and theft involved? Like those storm victims were actually going to see some of it.
katrina was a horrible disaster, people are making fun of her because she cares? Shes a human being people, people should care! I care when people are sad and hurt thats just how I am, and you make fun of people for that, seriously I will pray for you all, and hope that you find your way and get a life. Life can be very hard and confusing but everyday you have to learn from your mistakes and grow and become a better person
I've never understood why people were laughing at her. She was truly schoked on how the government was not doing anything to help those people. Indeed take a kayak and save people. It's more important than her 1 million dollar. She grew up in a very poor family and she knows than money is not everything.
Take a kayak
I open the televisions
Let them touch those things
Helicopsters
I’m too much like my im not thinking
No one can open any roofs
Big guns what’s that
This interview made me respect her so much I volunteered for the Red Cross the very next day
How can people make fun of this? Holy shit! This woman is amazing!
How can you not make fun of this? "Take a Kayak," "Let them touch those things," "Yes we gave a million dollar."
yes she is truly amazing , I laugh at the people laughing at her , we need more of this imperfect heartfelt speech than the same old politicaly correct speech . And this is her second language I'd love to see how an english speaking person would handle this on national televesion trying to make his point in French.
Because this is hilarious
@@user-ll7fv6tu7k so you’re making fun of a French Canadian speaking in another language which is English. She’s smarter then you bro. She speaks 5 languages you are to be laughed at. Get an education.
For real! They need to take a kayak!
In French, "ouvrir la télévision" means to turn on the TV, she just literally translated it to "open the television".
I've been French for +30 years but I've never heard "ouvrir la télévision". Vous dites ça au Québec ?
@@Bom13
oui au quebec on ouvre la TV (télé en France)
et on écoute la TV (regarde en France)
Even I thought she was strange when I saw this all those years ago but watching now I can see what an amazing person she is. I don't think she is only seeking attention. She really cares.
She's always been whacky.
She's not "incoherent" she's french!! It's hard to find the right word when you have to describe your feelings in a language that isn't yours.
Am french shes from my town she said take 2 people at time in water with a kayak we can save 2 people at time !!
@@carlalavoie9643if you're French there's no way she's from your town. She's Canadian !!! 😂😂😂
She's not French, she's from Quebec, that's not even the same continent as France. Are you serious?
French is her native language, that doesn't mean she's a French citizen
exactly !!!
celine is definately a passionate person, but this suprises me to see her like this but it just shows how passionate she is towards people. She has a great heart!
after her speech more celebrities started to give.... BUT SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE!
“Let them touch dees tings for once!” (1:55) has been a punchline in my house for years
she has a really big heart, its beautyful
If she recorded an entire album a capella I would buy it!
Everything she said was right !
Celine the Queen.❤
She is the best person in the entire world
Well, the most naïve anyway.
That's why Celine is blessed.. Who is the top 10 richest singer in the world
It's crazy how she got made fun of for being so passionate about the situation You can never win with people.
ActuallyNo its because its fairly obvious she has 0 clue whats going on, good on her for sending money, she should. you gotta admit this is funny, she says let them touch a flatscreen, like thats all they ever wanted to do. completely out of touch with reality. my opinion is shes pissed at red cross for being shitty and she realizes her money isnt really doing anything. sad situation we live in, cant be solved in a capitolistic society either good luck humanity lol

Mario Garon lol you just made the dumbest point about poker ive ever heard in my life.
She was ignorant, inarticulate and gave really stupid ideas, that's why.
I wholeheartedly agree. Leave the woman alone, she's upset about the situation and English is her second language, she's gonna say the closest translation that comes to mind.
God bless you Celine! To be honest not scripted just speaking through your heart :)
she is truly amazing. i love her
Why all of you just said that she was acting? Are you blind? Does it really looks like ACTING?!......No! She is talking with her heart and I believe it because there have no evidence to say that she is being fake......
I AGREE WITH CELINE!!! Long live the Queen of Pop!!!
Uh-
I love her
if he had asked any other current "mainstream" artist to sing a song, they'd quickly decline because they wouldn't have a backing track. Celine is, has, and always will be an amazing performer.
what an amazing woman, good for her

What a wonderful lady.
Je sais que beaucoup se sont moqué et se moquent encore de cette vidéo,mais personnellement elle me touche beaucoup,elle est vraie,sincère,comme toujours,et je trouve son discours tellement réaliste et honorable.
My heart will go on...
And hers will to, after all, she took a kayak
She's Dramatic..yes But I believe she's sincere
aw I didn't know about this but she seems so down to earth and real.
O&A did this justice

I didn't know this warm heart side of Celine Dion
Wow! This was back in 05 dang I remember this year well however I did not watch because at the time Celine was not my thing anymore but I heard about from the forums. I don't understand what was so bad about speaking out. I believe she had every right to say how she felt. We were all frustrated during that time when Katrina struck New Orleans.

CC WE ❤ U see you when you’re back first show!
Absolutely wonderful ❤️
Love her so much wowww
I dunno how I stumbled across this but it was quite moving.
Especially the kayak moving in the water
Ella dice lo que siente con lo que pasa en el mundo, todos deberíamos sentir eso, pensar un poco más en los demás en vez de solo en nosotros. Vivimos en un mundo muy egoista!
frog , the mayor of that black shithole was selfish read up on mayor ray naggin
Cest le point en commun qu'on a les québécois, on pense aux autres! Elle parle avec son coeur, moi je vois la québécoise en elle!

shes wiping tears that arent there , she wipes each eye 3 times each in 2 seconds how phony
OMG SHE SANG? PEOPLE WHO LIKER HER ARE FUCKING RETARDS SHES A SELF IMPORTANT CUNT, AND HAD HUGE CALE TOE ON A COMMERCIAL SHE DID , ,
***** I won't debate that. I just don't want to, because I will just waste my time. I just want to ask one thing. Who do you personally admire and respect, just like Celine's fans do for Celine, who is a kind person and has a benevolent personality, just like we stand up for Celine. Can you please answer that?
i love you celine
I love Kayaks.
@MisterHerr Of course she is. Nothing is more stupid than someone caring for people and trying to help them, right?
God bless Amen
while the singing was a little bizarre, as someone who takes great comfort in music, i can understand why she would sing. at that moment, not only was she asked (however stupidly) but that was probably the only way she could reign in her emotions.
I love the fact that she didn’t know what to sing yet practically did a full set and an encore 😅
She is still a human, why is everyone so shocked she broke down like that? Whats wrong with you guys? You think because she has money she has no feelings? Shame on you!
no, I think that she doesn't understand what it feels like to be robbed. "Let them touch those things". What if they robbed her???!? would she say, they're poop, let them take it, or would she break down again and cry about how much she lost and how she didn't think people could be this evil?
I think it’s Bc she doesn’t realize how racist she’s being. And her Hollywood fakesness
LET DEM TOUCH DOSE TINGS!
BRING DEM A KY-ACK!!!

Interesting. After Tracy's version I had to see the real thing. Celine did not disappoint.
QUEBEC IS THE BEST!!! BRAVO CÉLINE TU ES LA MEILLEURE!!!!
@tofke1 If there is someone out there that is not fake, it's Celine Dion.
What an Oscar performance, and NO, I'm not talking about the singing.
@CanadianLiz01
It's not about being Canadian. It's just about being real.
One of the greatest meme of Canada
I OPEN THE TELEVISION AND I SEE WIRES AND TUBES

@Muggleman12 I am not following your attack on me....? I typed that Celine was correct in her statement.
@kanawa And why would you be embarrassed exactly?
She exaggerated so much like we get it chilllllll
she is cute and innocent
@gunvoor well like I said, "turn the tv on" if crudely translated might mean "sexually arouse the tv" haha, just as funny
expressions are important ;)
TAKE A KAYAK
