Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

I get the Titanic connection with his campaign. Hey Vance, you better realize now there will not be enough room on that door for Trump and you.

JD will just find a couch to mount.

Edit: not coach

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

We would laugh harder if you checked your spelling

He's not your pla, bubby.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Or a dolphin.

[-] Wytch@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

Door? If his campaign is the Titanic, once it hits the iceberg he'll be on the first and most luxurious lifeboat alone, with only his next nearest unindicted oarsman.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

Lifeboat=Russia

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I think his connection is more with the dude falling and bouncing off the propeller while the Wilhelm Scream plays on the soundtrack.

[-] Spezi@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

They don‘t need the door. Fat floats by itself.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 100 points 2 months ago

Slam his campaign with a lawsuit then.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 60 points 2 months ago

Right? If they're fine suing a grandma whose grandkids got a song from Napster (and lost them $0 of actual sales), then suing a campaign using it publicly should be a no-brainer, slam dunk.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

I don't know if it's the case with her specifically, but most popular musicians don't actually own their own music, so they don't have any legal recourse.

That's why the Mango Mussolini isn't being sued by musicians left and right: almost all popular music in the world is owned by two or three conglomerates whose CEOs play golf with Trump or someone in his inner circle.

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

They never make a lawsuit their opening move, first it's a cease and desist, but don't count on Sony Music Canada to do nothing.

[-] SirNameHere@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Probably not worth their time considering the long line of people wait for the Trumps to pay their debts.

[-] zeet@lemmy.world 66 points 2 months ago
[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Which AI did you use?

Also, is that Haley Joel Osment?

[-] aquinteros@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

lmao. he got to be with his loved one to the end

STOP GIVING THEM WORDS

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

da duh duh, da duh duh

Let Celine smash fasch

[-] bcgm3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

The slammage continues! Who will be slammed next? Stay tuned to find out!

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

How many slams can a person survive?!

[-] akilou@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 months ago

"Slams" or "sues" because only one of those will even have a chance of doing anything?

[-] Horsey@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Celine slams Trump? Will her heart go on? OMG I can finally share this in a relevant way lmao

[-] Senseless@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

That's what the internet is for.

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

This is somehow even funnier than that time when Trump got nuked from the orbit by Nickelback

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago
[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Don't "slam"; sue.

[-] abracaDavid@lemmy.today 11 points 2 months ago

Oh shit! She SLAMMED him! I'm sure he'll never do anything like that ever again until the next time he does any kind of public event.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I think the funniest part is the song choice

[-] nepenthes@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

From the article:

″...And really, THAT song?” Dion’s management team quipped, spurring mocking social media posts about the Trump campaign using music from a movie about a sinking ship.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Dion’s management team quipped

So it wasn't even Celine herself. It was just some schlub in her back office?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Thaank you!

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wake up and SLAM

And welcome to the jam

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago
[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

"Sued" would at least be more entertaining. "Slams" just sounds like you're upset and there's nothing else you can do about it.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Omg someone ai photo her doing a suplex on someone

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

'Celine Dion'? Trump's added her to the list of "illegals" to deport

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Lady Gaga should perhaps preemptively pull Pocket Face off Trump dirty mind hands.

[-] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago

One's heart cannot go on if they don't have one.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
