No Shania in Olympic Closing ceremony

http://www.people.com/people/articl...0339689,00.html

The world will be watching as the Winter Olympics kicks off Feb. 12 at Vancouver's BC Place Stadium. And while the traditionally lavish proceedings introduce the competing athletes to viewers, the host country is responsible for providing the headlining entertainment. (Remember China's awe-inspiring fleet of dancers and musicians during 2008's summer games?)

Typically, the performers herald from the host country – and Canada has produced a ton of world-renowned talent – from Bryan Adams to pop upstart Justin Bieber to Neil Young. Already, Shania Twain carried the Olympic torch in freezing temperatures through her hometown, Timmins, Ontario. Hopefully she'll get a chance behind the mic in Vancouver, too.

Tell us: If you had to choose just one, which Canadian pop star do you want to see perform at the Olympic opening ceremonies?
Alanis Morissette 9%
Shania Twain 37%
Avril Lavigne 4%
Celine Dion 37%
Nelly Furtado 14%

It would be fantastic if Shania was to take up the offer, I'm sure that would be a great honor for her.

I voted for our gal Shania! I can't believe Avril has the lead.
If someone is to have the lead over Shania I'd rather it be Celine.
Vote people!

McLachlan, Bryan Adams, Rush among artists expected at opening

By Nick Patch (CP)

VANCOUVER, B.C. — In an age where news travels as fast as a sled hurtling down a skeleton track, the sustained secrecy surrounding Friday's opening ceremonies at the Vancouver Games is an Olympic feat in of itself.

Only in the past few days have small amounts of information dribbled out as Twitter-happy fans have leaked rehearsal information.

Recent reports indicate that Bryan Adams and Sarah McLachlan have been spotted rehearsing for the show.

Meanwhile, Rush and 16-year-old Montreal jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky also seem to be involved. A publicist for the veteran Toronto rock trio and Yanofsky herself both responded to questions from The Canadian Press with no-comments, citing non-disclosure agreements.

"NDA, non-disclosure, we're not allowed to say anything," Yanofsky said when asked if she would perform.

But beyond those nuggets of information, the Olympics' opening festivities have been relatively leak-proof, leaving eager viewers to work on educated guesses at which artists might be present for the Games' commencement.

So, whom might viewers look forward to seeing on Friday evening?

Michael Buble, for one, seems a logical choice to join local favourites McLachlan and Adams. Fresh off his second Grammy win, Buble is an avowed sports fan who will be in town anyway to provide colour commentary on hockey games for Australian TV and to participate in one of the final legs of the torch relay.

And like Adams, the crooner is associated with manager Bruce Allen, the Canadian impresario who is serving as VANOC's headline talent producer for the opening and closing ceremonies.

McLachlan's involvement, meanwhile, shouldn't come as a shock. The singer recorded NBC's Olympic theme, "One Dream," and is based in Vancouver.

Similarly, Celine Dion would seem a logical choice.

The 41-year-old chanteuse from Charlemagne, Que., boasts a massive international following and already has an Olympic performance on her resume after singing "The Power of the Dream" at the 1996 Games in Atlanta.

Dion, who just last month performed a stirring tribute to Michael Jackson at the Grammys, is also on the verge of releasing her documentary-concert film, "Celine: Through the Eyes of the World," so the timing makes sense.

Further, Dion appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Wednesday to perform a version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" with the Canadian Tenors. Interestingly, some of those rebellious rehearsal tweeters claimed to have heard the backing track to the classic tune blaring through the speakers at the opening ceremonies run-through, prompting speculation that Dion might appear to sing the song.

But, of course, she isn't the only megawatt Canadian pop star that viewers hope is included.

A People Magazine web poll recently asked readers which of five Canadian pop stars they wanted to see perform at the opening ceremonies, pitting Dion against Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Nelly Furtado and Alanis Morissette.

The result? A stunning 62 per cent of users voted for Twain, with Lavigne finishing second with 28 per cent, Dion third with seven per cent and Morissette and Furtado each receiving a paltry two per cent of votes.

Twain has resurfaced lately after willingly receding from the limelight over the past few years. She appeared as a judge on "American Idol," carried the Olympic torch through her hometown of Timmins, Ont., and has blogged about her ongoing development of a follow-up album to 2002's "Up."

Though none of those appearances required any singing, Internet fans are hopeful that Twain will take to the microphone at the Olympics.

"Shania Twain must be the one to perform!" said one enthusiastic follower below the People poll.

In fact, if the Internet is in part to blame for leaking out news about the opening ceremonies, it's also the setting for a multitude of impassioned arguments about the potential lineup of Canadian performers.

On Facebook, users have fought back and forth over the relative merits of a cluster of recognizable Canadian names - including Stompin' Tom Connors, Neil Young, Sam Roberts and the Barenaked Ladies - in a series of discussion threads.

"I personally hope that Stompin' Tom will be there," wrote a user named Richard on Facebook. "If anything says Canada (it's) Stompin' Tom and the Hockey Song."

"There's no doubt that Rush, Bryan Adams and (Nickelback) MUST be part of the Opening Ceremonies," added a poster named Silvie. "They represent Canadian Rock from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s."

Another poster, nicknamed Vanore, agreed: "I'm pretty sure (Nickelback) will be there. And it doesn't matter what song they play, since all their songs sound exactly the same."

Nelly Furtado, Sarah McLachlan Likely at Olympics Opening
By Mike Fleeman

Thursday February 11, 2010

The 2010 Winter Olympics may be lacking snow, but that hasn't stopped the leaks.

The first names of likely opening-ceremony performers have filtered out, thanks to spies at the rehearsals and a commercial for the Vancouver Games that aired during Saturday Night Live.

Canadians Nelly Furtado, Sarah McLachlan and Bryan Adams all seem a lock for Friday night. Best bets are also rockers Rush and jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky, also both Canadians. The '80s band Devo will be among the bands performing at the Games' medal ceremonies.

So far no word on Shania Twain, the overwhelming first pick of 62 percent of readers in a PEOPLE poll, nor for other Canadian poll faves Avril Lavigne (24 percent) or Celine Dion (7 percent). Furtado got 2 percent in the poll.

The new all-star "We Are the World" video for Haiti earthquake relief will also air during Friday's Olympic coverage.

Performers Leaked for Vancouver 2010: Nelly Furtado, Sarah McLachlan, Bryan Adams

Posted on February 12th, 2010 by Angelina Irinici

Performers for the 2010 Winter Olympics opening-ceremonies were meant to be kept under wraps. But, thanks to spies at the rehearsals and a commercial for the games that aired during Saturday Night Live, certain secrets are spilled, People.com reported.

Canadians like Nelly Furtado, Sarah McLachlan and Bryan Adams are the lucky celebs that are planned to perform at the opening-ceremonies Friday night in Vancouver. The legendary band Rush and jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky is also expected to perform, both who are Canadians. Devo, the ‘80s band is among the bands planned to perform at the Games’ medal ceremonies.

If you are wondering about famous Canadian singers like Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne or Celine Dion, there is no word as of yet. Shania Twain won a PEOPLE poll as first pick with 62 per cent of readers, Lavigne for 24 per cent, Dion had 7 and Furtado got a mere 2 per cent in the poll.

Vancouver 2010 is the second time Canada has hosted the games, the first being in Calgary in 1988.

Celine Dion won't appear at Olympic closing ceremonies: publicist
By: Nick Patch, The Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - For those fans waiting with bated breath to see Celine Dion make an appearance at the Olympic Games' closing ceremonies — well, your hearts will have to go on.

A publicist for the superstar confirmed to The Canadian Press on Tuesday that she would not appear at Sunday's Olympic festivities in Vancouver.

"She will not be there," wrote Dion spokesperson Kim Jakwerth in an email.

VANOC has said that Dion was invited to perform during the Olympic festivities but declined.

But just prior to the opening of the Games, Dion missed the Quebec premiere of her new movie, "Celine: Through the Eyes of the World," because she was in a U.S. hospital trying to conceive a second child.

Without Dion, fans are left to speculate on which Canadian stars might appear during the closing bash.

The opening featured Sarah McLachlan, Nelly Furtado, Bryan Adams, Garou, k.d. lang and Loreena McKennitt.

An online poll conducted on People Magazine's website asked readers which Canadian pop starlet should see the stage during the festivities. Dion went up against Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Furtado and Alanis Morissette.

Twain was the winner, with a stunning 62 per cent of the vote.

The country music star has kept a low profile over the past few years and hasn't released a record of new material since 2002's "Up."

While she's resurfaced lately — she appeared as a guest judge on "American Idol" and jogged the Olympic torch through her hometown of Timmins, Ont. — it would be an astonishing surprise to see her take the stage at B.C. Place on Sunday.

Twain's publicist declined to offer any information when reached Tuesday.
