トランプ氏集会での楽曲使用を批判　セリーヌ・ディオンさん

【モントリオールＡＦＰ＝時事】カナダの人気歌手セリーヌ・ディオンさんは１０日、米大統領選の共和党候補ドナルド・トランプ前大統領が選挙集会で、自身のヒット曲「マイ・ハート・ウィル・ゴー・オン」を使用したことを批判した。（写真は、米ニューヨークで、『アイ・アム セリーヌ・ディオン～病との戦いの中で～』のプレミア上映会に出席したセリーヌ・ディオンさん）
　同曲は１９９７年公開の映画『タイタニック』の主題歌。米モンタナ州で９日に開かれたトランプ氏の集会で、ディオンさんが歌う映像が大型スクリーンで流された。
　これを受け、ディオンさんのマネジメントチームとレコードレーベルのソニー・ミュージックエンタテインメント・カナダは、Ｘ（旧ツイッター）で声明を出し、楽曲と映像の使用は「いかなる形でも」許可されていないと抗議した。
　声明は「セリーヌ・ディオンは今回を含め、同様の使用を承認していない」と強調した。
　ソーシャルメディアでは、豪華客船の沈没という『タイタニック』のテーマと、トランプ氏の選挙戦の現状との類似性を皮肉る投稿も見られた。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

Celine Dion took a jab at Donald Trump on Saturday for using at an election rally the song she wrote and sang for the disaster movie Titanic, about the ocean liner's sinking.
The Republican presidential candidate has been lampooned on social media after playing the 1997 track My Heart Will Go On at a rally in the US state of Montana on Friday, as a video of Dion performing the song was shown on a big screen.
Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada, said in a statement on X the use of the song and video was in no way authorized.
Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use... And really, THAT song? it added.
Users on social media have made analogies between Trump's campaign and the sinking ship at the heart of the James Cameron film.
Trump has appeared on the back foot since Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden in the US election race for the White House.
The former president appeared on track to win back the White House before Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, but Harris has made big gains since replacing Biden at the top of the ticket and announcing Tim Walz, Minnesota's governor, as her running mate.
My Heart Will Go On was released on Dion's album Let's Talk About Love and the soundtrack to Cameron's film Titanic. It became one of the biggest songs of all time, selling 18 million copies and earning Dion an Oscar, a Golden Globe and several Grammys.
Dion, 56, was forced to cancel a string of shows in 2023 and 2024, saying she was not strong enough to tour after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder.
But she delighted fans last month by singing from the Eiffel Tower at the opening of the Olympics in Paris.
