I am still standing by my"prediction"... Shania will be called onto Eltons concert stage in Sudbury(175 miles south of Timmins) in March... If you research you will find the article where Elton admits that it was only because of Shania that he agreed to travel to Vevey Switzerland to perform... Is there any doubt that it is also because of Shania that he is taking his act to Sudbury(Timmins big brother)... As I have already mentioned in earlier posts,Elton in Sudbury is totally off the wall. My call is still for him to call her out...and the locals will go insane...Time will tell but don't laugh at this too loud... To me it all connects.. I guess the other story on this prediction is this....Why shouln't she??..Fly into Toronto,do some shopping,zip up to Timmins,visit some old friends,walk onto Eltons stage and shock the music world... Will it happen...Who knows...Should it happen....YEP....This opens up a whole new area of thought....What would it hurt and do we all not deserve it...SOMETHING...after years of waiting....I might be wrong on this but maybe I SHOULD be right....Bob
That would be great. Its a nice thought but from what we hear, Shania is busy recording her cd. I guess time will tell but I for one would love to see them on stage together.
I know... Can you imagine that crowd if she came out and performed... Sudbury even though bigger than Timmins is still moose country and with the insanity and noise that crowd would make,the moose would be running..Bob
You might be right but as I said maybe she should. Even you might agree she needs to give something back to fans who have supported her. No actually since you like to play devil you will do the flip and say NOW she has been totally fair to her fans... Which one Walt

Of course it would be nice if she made an appearance at various shows or charities in North America when she has no new music to sell. But Shania has made it clear that she only makes appearances when she has something to sell. I have said many times Shania is not a fan friendly artists and doesn't care or is not sensitive to the fans feelings. She only cares about how little appearances she can do and still be active in the business. The funny thing is that some fans here think I am being selfish to want to see Shania make an appearance or see her perform at a charity or even go to the juno awards or grammys and present an award or maybe do a duet with Anne Murray. The will defend her at all costs and think she is God and that we must follow the leader and believe everything she says. The truth is that Shania has been a very selfish artist and the fans have been supportive of her privacy and very patient with her. It is the fans who should be praised for sticking with her.Shania has made no effort to do anything for her fans except tell lies to them.
I would love to see Shania make a surprise appearance at an Elton concert and do a couple of songs but Shania just isn't that type of person to do anything for the fans unless she wants to sell you a cd or perfume. Thats why I respect artists like Elton John,Melissa ethridge and so many other artists who give their time over and over again to do good for others. Shania doesn't understand that lending her services and name to a charity will make others donate to that charity but Shania doesn't everything in private and is never seen at any north american charity event in a decade. Bottom line Shania is worth hundreds of million of dollars and could do so much more and get out there and be the face of some great charity, not just by name but by works. You would think with all the free time she has had in the last 5 years she would do more than she has.
Sorry bob, Shania won't surprise us and be there, she is selfish and kind of hermit and even hates to promte her cd's. Don't hold your breath on her doing anything special for her fans, she doesn't care.
She may have different priorities in the last few years so there maybe slight partial credit I'll give you, but overall she has been given a much better reputation then you are giving her. Things are different now, but in the 90s before moving to Switzerland and having a baby, she was living here and she was able to go to many more events, do fan fair and all that stuff. She was everywhere. I think she's always been good to people, sincere, and real enough for my liking.
Just that today its been brought down a notch. The novelty is over and the hustle and demand and priorities reconfigured.
I admire her unlike what I'd say for most celebrities. She's different.
So I think this type of attitude towards Shania you have is somewhat harsh.

It isn't harsh, it is true. Once she made all the money she had the power to do as she pleases and she chose to take the money and run and only come out of hiding once every 5 years to promote a product. Shania hasn't been sincere at all, take a look at how she lies and contradicts herself all the time. You can make any excuse in the book for her but she became a hermit once she had all the money. Sorry to break it to you but real artists who say they are passionate about music don't take 6 years off of touring or recording. Taking a break is fine but taking so many years off and then crying about fame after she made all the money makes me laugh. You can go down the list of any artists out there and 99% give back more to the fans and they don't even make one tenth of what Shania has.
Nah! That's harsh, but whatever. To each their own.
Perhaps you need to look elsewhere and become a fan of some other "artist" since Shania is doing such horrible things in your opinion.
She's treated people greatly considering someone who is very high profile. What are other very high profile celebrities doing better or more?
You are joking right? You can see celebs all over the place doing with more with charity and making music and performing for their fans and some of these artists like Elton and Dolly are over 60 yearold. Shania in the prime of her life is ruining her talent and lying to her fans. What artist takes 5 years to write music lmao!!! Dolly writes 50 songs a month. You are right about one thing though, I can move on to other artists who actually care about their fans. It seems that many are starting to do that and giving up on Shania. She is not much of an artist if she can't put out a stupid album in 6 years and can't make on appearance at live8 like many other artists who gave up their time to perform. It seems Shania is hiding behind mutt who is a hermit. If it weren't for mutt she would be actually making music and getting out there for her fans. When she does release new music people will bash her because they will say,"it took 6 years to come up with this" You can go down the list of hundreds of events in the last decade that Shania has turned down. In the prime of her career she doesn't have much of a body of work and has become really lazy and has no motivation. This tells me that she was only in it for the money and now she really doesn't care what the fans,the industry or her peers think. I really have liked Shania over the years but she seem very insecure,fragile and weak and always contradicts herself. Maybe she suffers from mental illness like her mother which would be sad. Maybe I am too harsh on her if she is mentally sick. If she is sick then she needs to get treatment and get better. I just think whatever the reason for her lazy attitude and stupid excuses, she has lost credibililty with everyone and become a joke to many. I feel sad about that but the perception is there and she or her management do nothing to correct it.
I think King Walter may have the mental illness. What are you trying to prove? One minute you defend Shania, the next, you make her out to be the devil, most manipulating person on the planet. What is your goal? To have all Shania fans be enlightened by your wisdom? You will help us see the light? Do you want to convince us Shania is no good and we should turn on her, get upset, all that? You trying to thin out the fanbase? I couldn't even stand reading your post word for word it got me so burned up.
I think you have a lot to learn about how Shania operates and many times how it works behind the scenes and not always what you see from her in the limelight or according to media sources. I appreciate the fact she can swallow her pride, give in ways anonymously, or through special contact and not look for all the attention or a pat on the back like a lot of egotistical celebrities.
Everyone should know Shania's nature from childhood by now. She's most likely the hermit more so than Mutt. She is just positioned in this type of exposure and it has to be that way. Come and go. Give and take. You have some points that have value but overall you are way out of line with your attitude and opinion. I don't plan on digging back and forth with you, this world has enough anger and stress to deal with and the one joy I get in Shania, I don't want ruined by you.

What I say burns you up because you know its true and you can't admit it. I never said Shania is the devil but she is far,far from the person some of her fans make her out to be. Shania does not care one bit about anyone except Shania.Her diehard fans can make up any excuse for her and if they say it enough they believe it.I don't care how she operates, she has shown little respect for the fans who have supported her and shown her great respect. The fans are the one who should be applauded for being patient and supporting a lazy artist like Shania who has taken their money and ran to hide.. I will always support Shania against bashers of her music and her great success, But I won't defend her anymore for what she has become as a person.Shania seems so fake and unreal and says one thing and does another. Dolly Parton is real and honest and respects her fans, even at age 60. But Shania is lazy,makes excuses for rarely making music, hides in Europe and basically told her fans to get lost.
You need to find a new hobby or a new music interest. I still don't understand how you can continue being a Shania fan in any way with these feelings you have? Strange bird you are.

I am busy with one hobby tonight, I have a hockey game where I will get the Gordie Howe hatrick(a goal,an assist and a fight).
As for Shania, I am just being honest and telling it as it is. Shania has seriously damaged the connection she had with her fans and now she is not credibile. You can't lie and screw you fans over and over again and expect them to be there in the end. And you can't take 6 years off and tell the fans to get lost. Everyone needs a break but Shania has had plenty of breaks since COO. She is just lazy now and is not passionated about music. I sure wish I could take years off at work. Look at real artists out there still touring like Dolly at age 60 and still being there for her fans. Shania is the very selfish one, her fans are the ones who deserve credit for being patient and making all these excuses for her and being loyal for so long. It seems that I am being too harsh but I am just telling the truth. What makes her even more fake is when her management through her sent the fans a message at christmas this year saying ."I really love my fans" How insulting to send a message through you management to such generic and meaningless words. She knows she lies to her fans and screwed them over and she think she can make things all better with this. Shania just seems so fake and in the beginning I thought she was a real artist and honest. I guess thats what money and power does to you. Some can handle it like Dolly and some can't like Shania.
Hey Walter....Don't be"stupid"... You know "she loves you"... Don't be absurd..Bob
Yea, she loves us fans as much as a car salesman and dealership loves you when you are going to buy a car.As soon as the sales is done they don't even care you exist. Except the car dealership actually checks up on you to see how your new producet is going. Shania pops in once every 5 years to sell something and then hides to never be seen again till her next appearance years later lol!!!
Hey Walter.... I am glad that you actually do agree that she should be joining Elton on stage...Bob
Of course it would be great for the fans and Elton if Shania did something like that. It would also be great if Shania made a surprise appearance in Canada at the Juno awards and sang the duet with Anne Murray. But Shania does not go that extra mile to please her fans and only does the least she has to. She doesn't have to do anything when she has nothing to sell and thats the position she takes. If you are a fan of Shania you are left defending her to others while at the same time knowing what others say about her are sometimes true. If I were a betting man, I would bet a million dollars that Shania will never make a surprise appearance on any stage when she has nothing to promote. She frankly doesn't care about the fans and think we should be blessed to even have her albums. And if you listen to some fans , they also think we are blessed to even have Shania's ablums and that we should praise her and bow down to her and believe everything she says. I am not naive and just say the truth.
Bob is in dreamland again. She won't sing again on stage until her album is ready wich will be soon but not before November of this year.
How do you know that it's not going to be before November? Do you have proof? You just sound so sure of yourself, like you know Shania personally or something.

King Walter knows and sees all!!!!! He is rarely wrong and only speaks with highest of authority.
Hey Walter, did you get your nose punched in last night in attempts of a Gordie How hat trick? I can see a lot of players taking out their frustration on you on the ice, lol.
I bet if Shania moved in with you and made your home the hub to make all hot spots closer such as New York, Toronto, Nashville, Vegas, and Los Angeles, so she can be more in the limelight like in the good ol' days of the 90s, you'd be happier than a pig in mud, lol.

You little irritant you. :)
Kingwalter came out on top in the fight and the hockey game and also this debate.
Nah, Shania can live where she wants but it wouldn't kill her to take her private jet and make more than one public appearance in 2 years lol!!! I think she seriously has mental problems with insecurity and low selfesteem that she hasn't worked out since childhood. That would explain her lame excuses and contradicting comments and of her being frightened to walk a red carpet. She doesn' t mind doing a magazine cover shoot but she hates walking a red carpet and thats why you rarely see her unless she has to promote and sell something to you. I hope I am wrong but I think she may be just like her mom was, mentally sick and she is showing signs of it. It that is the case, I am too hard on her but she has seriously ruined her relationship with many of her fans, but I don't think she really cars. Just sit back and look at some of her interviews the last 2 years and how she contradicts herself and talks about how weak she is. She needs to get her act together and see a doctor or stop complaining and actually do something and make music. Nobody feels sorry about a massively rich woman who cries about how she never seeked out fame and wants to be left alone. Shania needs to get her act together or just retires and stop lying to the fans.
King Walter is full of himself and I can easily see you get beat up a lot on the ice and this is where you can come out everyday and talk the big talk. Aren't you a mighty man, lol.
You sound like a little child. I want this I want that, lol.
You're also full of an ego and think you got this Shania enigma covered. But hey more power to you if it makes you feel better. I guarantee you, you'd have a heart attack if Shania came out after all this time and said she was retiring and you know it, lol. Otherwise you would have walked away a long time ago with your pissy attitude towards the lady and not living all over the internet having discussions about her.
Don't you like anyone else in entertainment? Go support them. What else can I say? :)
Just stating the facts and telling how it is. If it bothers you then don't read. I think it bothers most you that you know what I say is true but you and many fans are programmed to defend her at all costs. I am not naive like many of her fans. Shania doesn't give a hoot about her fans and now she doesn't care about music she claims to be passionate about. This is a message board where we can all state our opinions.If what I say hits too close to home then don't read it.
Maybe Walter could recommend a good shrink for Shania. Let's face it, he seems to have similar mental torment to what he thinks Shania is going through. You could also tell her what medication does the trick too.
I still can't understand why Walter is calling himself a fan when he claims to have seen the light and is completely aware of what's going on in Eilleen Regina Lange's personal life and what an evil person she is in this entertainment business, lol. (rolling eyes)
There must be somebody else in the music world he can follow, lol. Or maybe not, lol.
As I have said before I feel he should be following Natalie Maines(dixie chicks)... Can't you see him on one of his weird up nights with the stereo blasting and singing at the top of his lungs..."I'm not ready to make nice,I,m not to back down,I,m still mad as hell .............. During the instrumental breaks of the song he could fill in with shouts like...Shania you are lazy,Shania you are unfaithful,Shania you need mental help,Shania your are not a true artist,Shania you are a laughing stock within your industry,Shania you don't care about your fans.... By that point the vocals would break back in and again he could belt it out..." Im not ready to make nice,I'm not ready to back down.I,m still mad as hell.... Perfect rant song... Bob
Walter, seriously you need help. Maybe you think in some small way that your posting negatively about Shania will change her fans opinion of her. Well it does not in the least. Bottom line is you come off sounding like a spurned angry fan. and that is all. You are too obsessed by Shania and your immaturity comes off with nah nah nah nah Shania is lazy, Ithink Shania does this does not do this etc etc. Bottom line is Shania is happy and living her life. Shania has a healthy balance of career and personal life. All artists go on tour to promote their cds. They do guest appearances on talk shows to support thier cds. The difference is they spit out cds every 18 to 24 months. Shania being the great talent that she is comes out with a cd every 5 to 6 years and by golly good for her. No Walter she is not sick what she really is is a women who has found fantastic balance between career and family. Yeah Shania you go girl
OH WELL.... I guess my little fantasy is over... It all made so much sense at least to me... Anyhow..The reports are that last nights Elton concert in Sudbury was a super show BUT....No Shania... But I guess we are all getting used to that a bit by now.... Again.... Not really sure what it would have hurt for her to join up with him for a song or 2 especially since it was here that dragged him up in hells half acre... Kind of feel she might have him wrapped around her little finger just like the rest of us...Bob
