Olympics 2024 viewers were left fuming as they eagerly anticipated Celine Dion 's performance with Lady Gaga for the Paris ceremony, which was expected to be a highlight. The ceremony kicked off at 5.45pm , and fans had been on tenterhooks for hours, hoping to catch a glimpse of the iconic songstress, who was rumoured to be performing a duet with Lady Gaga .

Speculation was rife that Celine would be revealed as the mysterious masked horseman making their way down the River Seine, but as the minutes ticked by with no sign of the star, disappointment set in, with the horse's slow journey taking over 15 minutes to reach the shore. One viewer vented: "ENOUGH OF THIS CHIT CHAT! ! ! Ou est le Celine Dion? ! ? ! ! ! ? ? ! ! ! ! ". Another chimed in with frustration: "I think Celine has gone home on that metal horse, my life this is boring! " A third added their voice to the chorus of discontent: "If this masked torchbearer isn't revealed to be Celine Dion then what are we even doing?" Echoing the sentiment, a fourth remarked: "The French leaving the riverside because they never got to see Celine Dion.

" Meanwhile, a fifth pleaded: "How do you say WHERE IS CELINE in French? ". Celine had been seen in Paris earlier in the week, bravely greeting fans despite battling Stiff Person Syndrome, a painful condition she disclosed in her Amazon Prime documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, last month. The disorder, which can cause severe spasms and muscle stiffness, also impacts her vocal cords.

Althou.
