When they did, though, the results were extraordinary. Sadly, Dion’s two public personas rarely synced up at the height of her fame. She is delightfully self-aware and affable, happy to poke fun at her image while still singing artists half her age into the dirt. She takes her craft seriously, but not herself.

Thanks to her headline-grabbing fashion choices during Paris Fashion Week and late-night TV appearances, people are realizing that Céline Dion is a camp goddess. (Her most successful attempt to skew younger was her 1999 smash “ That’s The Way It Is,” produced by Max Martin.)ĭion has since undergone a reappraisal, part of larger cultural reassessment of the ’90s. (Granted, she was a mainstay on AC radio stations well into the 2000s.) When she did try to switch things up – dance, R&B, even reggae – it registered to some as inauthentic. She was chintzy, square, and sang music for older people. Because that wasn’t “ hip,” neither was Dion. Audiences and critics often associated Dion’s persona with her hit songs, which were often criticized for being overly sentimental. That contrast didn’t quite translate at the time.

Possibly a reflection of her French-Canadian heritage, Dion in interviews and public appearances was lively and animated, unlike the stately pop goddess image singing “Because You Loved Me.” She was also surprisingly outré in her fashion. She became a music icon singing mountainous love songs, but her public persona was quirkier and off-beat. (You could argue that Dion was the big draw of the Titanic soundtrack, which also sold 30 million copies.)Īs successful as she was, there was some confusion about who Céline Dion was compared to what she sang. In some ways, her commercial success eclipsed theirs: 1996’s Falling Into You and 1997’s Let’s Talk About Love sold over 30 million copies worldwide each.
With hits like “Beauty and the Beast,” “All By Myself,” and of course “My Heart Will Go On,” she established herself as one of the top female vocalists of the era, alongside Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
Her voice did things that other singers simply couldn’t. She dominated the ’90s with power ballads that showed off her remarkable vocal prowess. And while Sad Girl Songs are great for a good crying sesh, sometimes you just want to listen to music that makes you feel good, ya know? (And honestly, these bops are better for dancing and lip-syncing into your hairbrush, anyway.)
