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

We would laugh harder if you checked your spelling

He's not your pla, bubby.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Or a dolphin.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago

Lifeboat=Russia

[–] Spezi 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 98 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Slam his campaign with a lawsuit then.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 59 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

Which AI did you use?

Also, is that Haley Joel Osment?

da duh duh, da duh duh

Let Celine smash fasch

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

How many slams can a person survive?!

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Senseless 3 points 1 month ago

That's what the internet is for.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Don't "slam"; sue.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
[–] abracaDavid@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month 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 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think the funniest part is the song choice

[–] nepenthes@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 1 month 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 1 month ago

Thaank you!

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wake up and SLAM

And welcome to the jam

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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.

Omg someone ai photo her doing a suplex on someone

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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