Among its “200 best singers of all time”, Rolling Stone had the audacity to omit the one and only: the immense Celine Dion.
An absence could not be more noticed by the fans of the singer, who since January 1, are revolted.
On January 6, in front of its New York offices, the American magazine was the victim of a demonstration by angry fans.
“
Céline is not by herself anymooore”
(Céline is no longer alone, in reference to her title
All by myself
),
“Justice for Céline”
or
“How could you forget Céline”
(“How could you forget Céline” ), could be read on the placards of the demonstrators.
The revolt was organized by the Instagram account
The red Heads
(@celinedionaddicts_official).
The page brings together fans of the Quebec singer.
And since the release of the ranking, produced and published by
Rolling Stones,
the small organization has embarked on a project, a special mission: the “Rolling Stone Revenge”.
The demonstrators, mostly women, were accompanied by Quebec television host Julie Snyder.
The producer of the show
La Semaine des 4 Julie
would have gone to New York on a whim to protest in front of the offices of
Rolling Stone
.
The magazine took the opportunity to interview the creator of the account.
Lisa Basbous denounced
“a huge mistake in forgetting her name in this big list, which you published last week.
We wanted to make sure you understood that you forgot the best singer in the world
”.
Rolling Stone
should not reconsider its classification.
If Celine Dion appeared in the list of the
100 greatest singers of all time
in 2008, she no longer appeared in that of 2018. For the magazine, it is therefore completely consistent that the Quebec singer is not part of this club. of 200 artists.
