Just listened to 5 x Celine hit singles in a row*, and surprised at how wrong my idea of "really grating & loud" was. Voice actually mostly very pleasant, even when belting. Maybe a bit unfairly maligned yeah.
Material still crap though.
*) Every time I hear "My Heart Will Go On", I do so for the first time. I'm confused about how such a hookless song can be remembered in listeners' minds long enough to be a world No 1 etc. Maybe it's just that its tempo falls beneath my personal w number**, the same that also renders me helpless in identifying slow movements of the most obvious classical works etc.
**) Invention of Tom E: the Westlife Factor, IIRC, beneath which everything sounds the same.

sw00ds OTM re Carpenter/Dion.
(Hating it is totally understandable but I'm a little amazed someone could find "My Heart Will Go On" hookless.)

Probably worth doing. She had two or three really good songs on most albums. Don't forget about the French stuff, though. Je danse dans ma tête might be my favourite song of hers.

― surm, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 15:38 (ten years ago) link
Not so bad! I find myself actually looking forward to the stuttering hook in the chorus. The movement here is just the listener getting progressively locked into the groove. I could see Madonna covering this.
Why is it that French pop uses smooth jazzy fusion as a base? How did that become the norm there and not the Anglosphere?
― Adam J Duncan, Saturday, 28 March 2015 18:21 (nine years ago) link
The arrangement is very much of its time I find. I remember people here in Québec thinking the d-d-d-d-d part was ridiculous and making fun of her about it, but I think it sounds good.
Usually when critics talk about her French stuff being more subtle they're referring to her work with Jean-Jacques Goldman, specifically her album D'eux, her most critically acclaimed and comercially successful album. Her early teenage material is just as schmaltzy as her English songs if not more.

She also lost her brother on Saturday.

With all the (bad) news about her the past few days, I was trying to remember the one single of hers I liked at the time. Must have been "Nothing Broken but My Heart"--just played the video and it still sounds pretty good.

I...am amazed.
There is an unofficial Céline Dion biopic playing out of competition at Cannes where they use her songs but change her name, and I fear my concept of reality will never recover. https://t.co/ZvfPaYy6Jw— Chris Feil (@chrisvfeil) June 3, 2021

xposted to Ambient Recommendations, but this record utilizes Celine samples pretty exclusively and is fucking beautiful, I think.

yes, very sad. it was known that she had health issues, but this is a bad diagnosis.not counting on seeing her again live, although the show we have tickets for hasn’t been cancelled yet (I bought them in 2019 for her 2020 tour).
