CELINE DION

Celine Dion won Eurovision for Switzerland in 1988, but the French-Canadian singer only became a star in the UK during the Nineties, securing her first UK Number 1 in 1994 with power ballad Think Twice. Celine's career peak came in 1998 with her second Number 1, My Heart Will Go On, from the blockbuster movie Titanic.

First I was a fan, then I was underwhelmed by her increasing levels of saccharine glossy tripe....until a friend took me to her 2008 Taking Chances Concert at The O2. It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen (and I have seen 3 World Tours of Michael Jackson)! The woman is a bonafide Superstar and a Global Pop Phenomenon. Her vocal skills are the results of ongoing training and hard work. She IS the 3rd member of the coveted Club of THE TRILOGY (Whitney, MARİAH, Céline) for a reason.

Can we update the blurb about celine to reflect the fact she's one of the 3 biggest selling women of all time and the massive success she achieved? Happy to write it for you

This lady gets a wrap from critics but is one of THE great female vocalists. her majestic voice is heard to best effect on her cover of Eric Carmen's classic 'all by myself' Jim Steinman's brilliant 'its all coming back to me now' (one of her biggest UK hits) and in her innovative French language albums where the material is far more cutting edge that her occasionally bland English language output. Regarded by the french as a second 'Piaf', UK critics should start cutting her more slack as she has had huge record sales here and even her most recent 2013 album 'Loved me back to life' with 'Sia' writing the genuinely original hit title track reached number 3 in the UK album chart after a career spanning over 20 years. Inevitably she is probably too commercially successful for the critics to be even remotely kind but a listen to her back catalog reveals some hidden gems which were not always the hit singles. Lesser known material such as 'That's just the woman in me baby' (from the 'Taking Chances album) and 'I surrender' (from the pre Vegas residency album 'A new day'), the latter featured in her Vegas show and is one of her strongest vocals. Its way past time to reappraise this truly gifted singer and give her the credit she deserves as one of THE greatest female singers of all time.

Huh??? Critics adore her. She could put out generic trash and it would be hailed as revolutionary.
