'Apple Tree' Celine Dion Reacts To Fans' Rebuttal To Metaphor

Graeme O'Neil takes a look at Celine Dion's reaction to a fan's comment on Celine's metaphor that has her as an "apple tree" bearing less fruit in the "I Am Celine Dion" documentary.

She IS the tree. She gives us apples but she also keeping with that metaphor gives us shade, beauty and most importantly: oxygen. We love you Celine, and we thank you! 🥰

[@rathnakumar5592]

She deserves all of our love. She's done enough and more for us. We'll be there for her. ❤

Here for the tree. Even if there’s never another apple I can still appreciate the bounty it’s already given.

[@lisaboo5806]

Here for the tree always ❤

[@melonyvera6093]

Celine we love you! I’ve always been a fan since I was a little girl and always admired and loved your beautiful voice. Your voice and songs have touched us all but it’s not only your amazing voice but who you are as a person so passionate and kind hearted to the world. We love you Celine and stand by you always. I am here for the tree. ❤ and I know you wish your voice to come back and hope that it will but if not you have given so much to us and we love you for you!!!! ❤❤thank you for being an inspiration to us all . Love you!❤

I will always be there for the tree. Celine's music has done and given so much to me that i am so grateful having seen here live in Ireland back in 2008 she is a wonderful human being. I broke my heart for those minutes where she was in full spasm i could not stop crying watching it and thought why does she suffer this way its awful all she ever does is give out love. Anyway im glad ive seen her interviews more recently and saw she is doing better. Im so glad she has had some time to rest and hopefully the right team is helping her now and it seems that way.

I'm definitely here for the tree! I absolutely love Céline. She is a true hero and the pillar of strength so many of us look up to.

[@Hylifav326]

Yaaaaaaas! I'm here for the tree! I cried so many times watching this documentary! Celine Dion is an AMAZING person and ICON!

[@angelabaird7135]

She loved performing and people loved it back. She just needs to be reminded that just becuz we came to know her thru her talent, doesn't mean we loved her only for her talent. The talent got our attention, HER ESSENCE made us love her. People who have been given attention for thier talents for so long can think that's all they have to offer or all people want. But what Celine has is so much more than talent. Talent is everywhere now, what kind of a person you are is EVERYTHING! And we love her whether she is producing tangible fruit or not. We are happy to just be near her and hear her and love and support her. Love only grows when it's real. It doesn't diminish. She just needs to be assured that we don't need Singing dancing producing Celine. We'll be perfectly happy with the wise funny sweet person who had so much Spirit in her she belted about the power of love. She knows in her heart what real love is and people who REALLY feel her music have depth and are therefore much more than fair weather friends. She was reflected back all these beautiful comments becuz her authenticity attracted genuine loving people and she can now enjoy thag without pressure

"I Am: Celine Dion" is a very good documentary because it shows a human life living with something so hard, but living all the same. Dion is a great tree! What I take away from the doc though is that the power and heart of life isn't in pushing through and persevering, it's in being present, and the doc shows Dion struggling with being present. In the pain and joy she fears, she is racing ahead into some scary unknown, but then she returns to just the present, and carries on as best she can. And sometimes that is so hard, and other times it is magnificent or somewhere in between. It really is a beautiful film. And I'm not surprised people have stood up for her tree of life after seeing it. We all are worthy trees in a forest of worthy trees in the wider worthy creation.

The documentary I Am Celline was powerful end overwhelming. You are a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul and this documentary impacted many many people to look inside themselves and hold on in the face of adversity. We love you celine and we are mindful of your difficult journey. You are loved.!! The tree is loved!!

[@Hugecdfn]

Here for the tree, all the way! Even if she never sings again (i pray she will), she'll always be my artist of choice, my number one, the best voice in my world

[@EdRittenhouse]

I just watched this. I always admired her and her technique. This is difficult to watch. What she is like in concert is amazing especially when you see what she has to do to get out there and perform. This will touch your heart ❤

[@macrichardson7904]

Whatever I have that I can give to that tree, I would give and be fulfilled knowing I had helped strengthen it.

[@alexm4994]

The tree has nurtured us, now it’s time to nurture the tree.

[@rodwellsimon4279]

Yes, I'm here for the tree! Queen Celine forever!

[@denntit]

Rebuttal seems to be the wrong word. Counter response would be more appropriate.

[@francinegosselin3891]

Tu en .à assez donné Céline ,il est temps pour toi .de te reposer .🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I really hate that the internet is so anonymous, that people could be so nasty and rude and hurt people's feelings without a thought or ounce of decency. I hope the so-called "fan" (really not a fan) that said that about her chokes on an apple. I love Celine Dion, and it doesn't matter that she can't sing anymore. I love her for the person that she is.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

i think you misunderstood the comment… the comment basically said we’re here for Céline herself and not just the fruit she has produced over the last 43 years.

[@angelabaird7135]

The comment that we are here for the tree means that we didnt want and love her for what she could do or give to us (the apple) we love HER (THE TREE) And it doesn't matter if she can produce no fruit or a little fruit, we love and support HER

So EXTRA

Get lost slime

[@angelabaird7135]

Yeah wisdom and depth always really irritate the shallow. Go listen to barbie girl or some shit

[@SheilaR.08]

Love her so much. I didn't expect this to make me cry, but here we are! 💜

[@malo3002]

Je trouve qu’elle a assez donné et qu’elle a fait ses preuves. Elle n’a plus rien à prouver sa voix fera partie d’une des légendes de la musique et elle fait partie du patrimoine québécois. Pourquoi s’acharne-t-elle à vouloir retourner sur scène à la place de se concentrer sur sa santé et sa famille?! Qu’elle prenne donc soin d’elle c’est tout ce qui compte en ce moment et non la scène.

[@cathyn3477]

I'm with the tree shes beautiful and stands tall is a loving tree you go celine you brighten and give shadow to the tree love your music stand proud ❤

[@zippybunglegeorge1]

Still love her love her even more now,i taken too many apples,we all took too many apples

[@angelabaird7135]

People didn't take too many apples. She loved performing and people loved it back. She just needs to be reminded that just becuz we came to know her thru her talent, doesn't mean we loved her only for her talent. The talent got our attention, HER ESSENCE made us love her. People who have been given attention for thier talents for so long can think that's all they have to offer or all people want. But what Celine has is so much more than talent. Talent is everywhere now, what kind of a person you are is EVERYTHING! And we love her whether she is producing tangible fruit or not.

The Apple comes before the tree She's got it the right way around Me

[@ridinreiners]

Celine is a lovely human being.

[@ervicito77]

I've always been here for the tree. So strong and beautiful, apples or not. Inspiring us to grow just as strong. 💖🌳
