No.

"That's the Way it Is" is a great single. She has a helluva voice. Too bad she sticks mainly to plodding ballads.

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 16 February 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The last good song that Celine did was, IMHO, "Falling Into You", because it was a tad surprising. The fact that it was five years ago both says alot and pretty much undermines any certainty I might have about it *still* being good.

Celine Dion has a nice enough voice, though her enunciation is just about the worst I've ever heard and that always loses points with me. But she does the most godawful songs, love ballads and overdramatic mush. She is the sonic equvilent of Dawson's Creek.

Celine's diction isn't the greatest, true, but there's NO WAY that she could win a mush mouth competition with Anita Baker AND Toni Braxton out there.

I agree that she needs better songs. I think she accidentally turned herself into the soundtrack queen by doing that song from "Beauty and the Beast". Actually, if you moved Toni Braxton's songs up a fifth, Celine could do some of them very well, particularly "You're Making Me High".

Her french songs with JJ Goldman are eminently better.

Sorry, you've just reminded me instantly of that classic situation of "French teacher / schools TV programme trying to be trendy" about 10 years ago ...

Jean-Jacques Goldman being mentioned in my work book for "Quinze Minutes" during Daytime On Two. There's a fucking memory.

Celine became aligned wih David Foster at a young age. This is equivalent to becoming aligned with Clive Davis in the 1960's.

Celine's mystique is as much responsible for her success as is her talent...

Basically pretty awful, although 'My Heart Will Go On' has a lovely melody.

― Ally C, Monday, 5 March 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Celine's MYSTIQUE ???!!??

― Patrick, Monday, 5 March 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sometimes she just lifts you up, doesn't she?

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 05:01 (sixteen years ago)

She's so super-talented, though. I'd go to her show in Vegas.

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 13:59 (sixteen years ago)

Justifiably maligned

― Alex in NYC, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 14:01 (sixteen years ago)

such a surprising opinion coming from you!

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 14:26 (sixteen years ago)

But am I wrong?

― Alex in NYC, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 14:36 (sixteen years ago)

we'll know in eight years when you start a thread about it

Alex in NYC OTM

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 14:37 (sixteen years ago)

she was supposed to be a real force of nature in vegas

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 14:38 (sixteen years ago)

Alex is right now; he'll be wrong in eight years.

― Jazzbo, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 14:57 (sixteen years ago)

I'm listening to her on youtube and wondering if this is the inevitable corollary of too much time on ILM

― Plaxico (I know, right?), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 15:10 (sixteen years ago)

Celine Dion's music is, was and e'er shall be completely indefensible shit.

― Alex in NYC, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 15:50 (sixteen years ago)

sometimes she's all i want to listen to

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 16:07 (sixteen years ago)

Think Twice, Alex. Before you roll those dice.

I am sick of people picking on her looks, she is gorgeous! Even in those unflattering pictures.

― don't smurf (u s steel), Monday, 4 April 2011 20:01 (fourteen years ago)

twelve years pass...

I don’t have time or interest to go thru her discography but “Falling Into You” is schmaltzy, sure but also a beautiful piece of dream pop.
