TRIBUTE
TO CELINE DION
|
I'm Portuguese and a fan of
the Beatles, Sting, U2, Michael Bublé, Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Diana Krall, Skunk
Anansie, Queen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Frank Sinatra... but none of these artists touch me
as deeply
as
Celine Dion.
Celine has something special. When I listen to her, I hear not only a good song, but also a great voice
that share her feelings.
Everything sounds incredible in Celine's voice.
This
is the reason why I dedicated this site to my
favourite female voice.
Here you can find the essential about
Celine Dion, and especially
her best photos and many curiosities.

We can either love her, or hate her, but something is undeniable - her
VOICE.
Celine Dion's five-octave voice has become the soundtrack of our age. A
multiple Juno, Grammy, and Oscar Award winner, she has sold millions of
CDs, surpassing all other artists in history to become the brightest star
in the pop culture pantheon.
With one of music's greatest voices, Celine has crossed practically every
barrier and has conquered the world with a series of electrifying
international hits. Songs like "Power of love", "Pour que tu m'aimes
encore", "Because
you loved me", "All by my self", "It's all coming back to me
now", "My heart will go on", "I'm your angel"...
became real worldwide hits, turning this women one of the best artists in
History.
So far in her career, Celine Dion recorded near 300 songs in seven different
languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Latin
and Japanese), and turned into the world's best-selling female
artist ever.

"I don't want a hit, I want a career.
I want to sing all my life". (Celine Dion, 1989)

What
they say about her:
"It's
no lie that I always describe Celine as the greatest voice I know, and yes
she is still my favourite female singer. (...) Apart from being an exceptional
singer she is also a fantastic person".
"Listening
to her sing in person is pretty much a religious experience."
David
Foster (Music
producer)
"I
think Celine Dion is an international treasure, and I have to say one of
the most genuine people I've ever met."
“Celine
has such a beautiful, mesmerizing voice. She is so talented, I would love
to work with her. I think we could create something that is a classic like
she already is.”
Timbaland
“I
am an absolute, wouldn’t be embarrassed, chase-down-the-bus fan. Her
voice is, like, not human. She’s so unique, you know her voice from a
million miles away – from the first second you hear it. I think a gift
from God like that is the coolest thing in the world.”
R.
Kelly
"I
appreciated Celine from the moment she walked in. Here's this huge persona,
and she comes in like she was a secretary, an everyday normal, humble person,
She introduces herself with no ego. I loved that. She's a wonderful woman. I
admire and respect her!"
Linda
Perry
"I
first met Celine Dion at the premiere of Sleepless in Seattle. We were at
a fancy Hollywood ballroom, with tables full of famous folk and expensive
champagne. She introduced herself, this young beautiful woman, with a nod
and a smile. She spoke very little English, and my French
is...well...isn't. Then she sang, and I was blown away. I have heard her
sing live many times since then. Each time she amazes. It is her heart,
however, that is truly her greatest gift. More pure than her pitch, more
tender than her tone. She is one of a kind."
Rosie
O'Donnell
"Celine
is the best singer in the world. Nobody can out-sing her. She was on Divas
once with Aretha Franklin and a whole bunch of other girls. She blew them
all away. I was amazed. One time we were both at NBC and she did “Believe”
for me. She did all the electronic effects with her voice! I would never
sing on the same stage with her at the same time! The other girls have got
great style, but as far as pipes go…"
Cher
"Nowadays,
Celine Dion is the biggest singer in the world. She became a superstar.
When D'eux was released, I helped her to be known in France. Now I don't
have nothing more to do".
Jean
Jacques Goldman, Celine's French producer.
"Celine
is not only a world class artist and one of the best singers of all
time... she is also one of the greatest people I know."
Thomas
Mottola, Chairman of Sony Music
"A
voice that without the least effort goes from deep whispers to very high
notes, a sweet siren which combines strength and grace with skill."
Time
Magazine - July 3, 1994
"Is Alfred Brendel a pianist? Well, yes but he's much, much more than
a pianist. He's a poet. He's a writer. He's a philosopher. Was Yehudi
Menuhin a violinist? Yes, but he was much, much more than that - a
humanitarian, a cultural ambassador. Celine Dion is at that highest
quality level where to call her a singer is not enough. She is just simply
an artist."
Kent
Nagano, Music director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra
"Remember
the name because you will never forget the voice!"
René
Angelil
