Céline Marie Claudette Dion[b] (born 30 March 1968)[3] is a Canadian singer. Referred to as the "Queen of Power Ballads",[4][5] Dion's powerful, technically skilled vocals and commercially successful works have had a significant impact on popular music.

Born into a large family in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion was discovered by her future manager and husband, René Angélil, and emerged as a teen star in her home country with a series of French-language albums during the 1980s. She gained international recognition by winning the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Switzerland with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi". Dion went on to release twelve English-language albums, including The Colour of My Love (1993), Falling into You (1996), Let's Talk About Love (1997), and All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999), all of which rank among the best-selling albums in history. Her catalog of high-charting tracks includes "Beauty and the Beast", "The Power of Love", "Think Twice", "To Love You More", "Because You Loved Me", "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", "All by Myself", "I'm Your Angel", "That's the Way It Is", "I'm Alive", and "My Heart Will Go On" – the theme for the 1997 film Titanic, which is the second best-selling single by a woman in history.

Dion continued releasing French-language albums between each English record, with D'eux (1995) becoming the best-selling French-language album of all time. During the 2000s, she built her reputation as a successful live performer with A New Day... on the Las Vegas Strip (2003–2007), the highest-grossing concert residency of all time, and the Taking Chances World Tour (2008–2009), one of the highest-grossing concert tours of the 2000s. Los Angeles Times named her the top-earning artist of the decade, with combined album sales and concert revenue exceeding $747 million. In 2022, Dion canceled her tour due to a diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome.

With over 200 million records sold worldwide, Dion is the best-selling Canadian recording artist, the best-selling French-language artist, and one of the best-selling musical artists of all time. Her accolades include 5 Grammy Awards, 20 Juno Awards and a recognition from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry for selling over 50 million albums in Europe.[6] Seven of her albums have sold at least 10 million copies worldwide, the second most among women in history. She was ranked among the greatest women in music by VH1 and the greatest voices in music by MTV. Dion is one of the highest-grossing touring artists in history and the second woman to accumulate US$1 billion in concert revenue. One of the wealthiest musicians in the world, Forbes ranked her the highest-paid female musician of 1997, 1998, 2004, and 2006. She received honorary doctorates in music from the Berklee College of Music and the Université Laval.

Life and career

1968–1989: Early life and career beginnings

Dion in 1986

Dion was born in Charlemagne, Quebec, 24 kilometres (15 mi) northeast of Montreal, the youngest of 14 children of Thérèse (née Tanguay, 1927–2020), a homemaker, and Adhémar Dion (1923–2003), a butcher, both of French descent.[7] As the youngest of 14 children, Dion grew up wearing hand-me-downs and sharing a bed with several sisters.[8][9] As a baby, she slept in a drawer instead of a crib to save money.[10] She was bullied at school and called "Vampire" due to her teeth and skinny frame.[11] Local tabloids even dubbed her "Canine Dion" in the teenage years of her career.[12] She often spoke of running home from school to play music in the basement with her brothers and sisters. "I detested school", she would later write in her autobiography. "I had always lived surrounded by adults and children a lot older than me. I learned everything I needed to know from them. As far as I was concerned, real life existed around them."[13] Dion's eldest sister was already in her twenties, married, and pregnant with her first child at the time that Dion's mother, Thérèse, was pregnant with Dion.[14]

Dion was raised a

Roman Catholic in a poor but, by her own account, happy home in Charlemagne.[15][16] Music had always been a major part of the Dion family, and she was named after the song "Céline", which French singer Hugues Aufray had recorded two years before her birth.[17] On 13 August 1973, she performed publicly for the first time at her brother Michel's wedding, singing Christine Charbonneau's "Du fil, des aiguilles et du coton".[18] She continued to perform with her siblings in her parents' small piano bar
called Le Vieux Baril, "The Old Barrel".

She suffered a number of accidents as a young child, including an incident at five years old when she was struck by a car as her father and brother Clément looked on. She was hospitalized briefly with a concussion.[19] From an early age, she had dreamed of being a performer.[20] In a 1994 interview with People, she recalled, "I missed my family and my home, but I don't regret having lost my adolescence. I had one dream: I wanted to be a singer."[21] As a child in Quebec, Dion participated in Girl Guide programs as a member of Girl Guides of Canada.[22]

At age 12, she collaborated with her mother and her brother Jacques to write and compose her first song, "

La voix du bon Dieu, which later became a local No. 1 hit and made her an instant star in Quebec. Her popularity spread to other parts of the world when she competed in the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo and won the musician's award for "Top Performer" as well as the gold medal for "Best Song" with "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi".[23]

By 1983, in addition to becoming the first Canadian artist to receive a gold record in France for the single "

otorhinolaryngologist William Gould,[28][29] who gave her an ultimatum: have immediate surgery on her vocal cords or do not utilize them at all for three weeks.[28] Dion chose the latter and underwent vocal training with William Riley.[28][29]

1990–1992: Unison, Dion chante Plamondon, and Celine Dion

Two years after she learned English, Dion made her debut into the Anglophone market with

Operation Desert Storm.[33][34]

Her real international breakthrough came when she

.

Also during this time, Dion released the Francophone album

Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)" became a smash hit in France, reaching No. 2 and being certified gold. In Quebec, the album was certified Gold the day it was released.[36]

By 1992, Unison, Celine Dion, and numerous high-profile media appearances had propelled Dion to superstardom in North America. She had achieved one of her main objectives: wedging her way into the Anglophone market and achieving fame.

Félix Awards show, where, after winning "English Artist of the Year", she openly declined the award. She asserted she was—and would always be—a French, not an English, artist.[27][39] Indeed, she speaks English with a noticeable Quebec French accent to this day. Apart from her commercial success, there were also changes in her personal life, as Angélil, who was 26 years her senior, transitioned from manager to lover. However, the relationship was kept a secret as they both feared the public would find it inappropriate.[40]

1993–1995: The Colour of My Love and D'eux

In 1993, Dion announced her feelings for her manager by declaring him "the colour of [her] love" in the dedication section of her third English-language album The Colour of My Love. However, instead of criticizing their relationship as she had feared, fans embraced the couple.[20] Eventually, Angélil and Dion married in an extravagant wedding ceremony on 17 December 1994, which was broadcast live on Canadian television.[41]

As with most of her catalogue, The Colour of My Love had overarching themes of love and romance.

signature hit in various nations until she reached new career heights in the late 1990s.[37]

The single "When I Fall in Love", a duet with Clive Griffin, achieved moderate success on the U.S. and Canadian charts and was nominated for two Grammy Awards, winning one. The Colour of My Love also became Dion's first major hit in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom. Both the album and the single "Think Twice" simultaneously occupied the top of the British charts for five consecutive weeks. "Think Twice", which remained at No. 1 for seven weeks, eventually became the fourth single by a female artist to sell in excess of one million copies in the UK[43] while the album was eventually certified five-times platinum for two million copies sold.[44]

Dion kept to her French roots and continued to release many Francophone recordings between each English record.

Paris Olympia in 1994. It had one promotional single, a live version of "Calling You", which peaked at seventy-five on the French Singles Chart. She also recorded a bilingual version of "Petit Papa Noël" with Alvin and the Chipmunks for the 1994 holiday album A Very Merry Chipmunk. D'eux (also known as The French Album in the United States), was released in 1995, and it would go on to become the best-selling French-language album of all time.[45] The album was mostly written and produced by Jean-Jacques Goldman, and amassed huge success with the singles "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" and "Je sais pas". "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" reached No. 1 in France and stayed at the top position for twelve weeks. It was later certified Platinum in France.[46] The single reached the top ten in the UK and Ireland, a rare accomplishment for a French song. "Je sais pas", the second single off the album, reached No. 1 on the French Singles Chart as well and was certified Silver there.[47]

During the mid-1990s and onward, Dion's albums were generally constructed on the basis of melodramatic soft rock ballads, with sprinklings of up-tempo pop and rare forays into other genres.

World Music Award for "World's Best-selling Female Recording Artist of the Year" for the third time. By the mid-1990s, she had established herself as one of the best-selling artists in the world.[50]

1996–1999: Falling into You, Let's Talk About Love, and S'il suffisait d'aimer

In the five years since her debut English language album in 1990,

Up Close and Personal.[50]

Falling into You garnered career-best reviews for Dion. While Dan Leroy wrote it was not very different from her previous work[53] with Stephen Holden of The New York Times and Natalie Nichols of the Los Angeles Times writing the album was "formulaic",[54][55] other critics, such as Chuck Eddy of Entertainment Weekly, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, and Daniel Durchholz, lavished the album as "compelling", "passionate", "stylish", "elegant", and "remarkably well-crafted".[52][56] Falling into You became Dion's most critically and commercially successful album, topping the charts in many countries and becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time.[57]

In 2013,

Let's Talk About Love was another major success, reaching No. 1 all over the world, attaining platinum status in twenty-four sales territories, and becoming the fastest selling album of her career.[68] In the United States, the album topped the chart in its seventh week of release,[69] and was later certified 11× Platinum in the U.S. for over 11 million copies shipped.[70] In Canada, the album sold 230,212 copies in its first week of release, which remains a record.[71] It was eventually certified diamond in Canada for over one million copies shipped.[72][73] The most successful single from the album was the classically influenced ballad "My Heart Will Go On", which was written and composed by James Horner and Will Jennings, and produced by Horner and Walter Afanasieff.[63]

Serving as the love theme for the 1997 blockbuster film

Let's Talk About Love Tour between 1998 and 1999.[78]

Dion ended the 1990s with three more extremely successful albums: the Christmas album These Are Special Times (1998), the French-language album, S'il suffisait d'aimer, and the compilation album All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999).[79] On These Are Special Times, she co-wrote the song "Don't Save It All for Christmas Day" along with Ric Wake and Peter Zizzo.[80] The album was her most classically influenced yet, with orchestral arrangements found on virtually every track.[81] The album featured the single "I'm Your Angel" (a duet with R. Kelly), which became her fourth US No. 1 single, and a smash hit across the world. The album's second single "The Prayer" (a duet with Andrea Bocelli) served as the soundtrack of the 1998 film Quest for Camelot and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. All the Way... A Decade of Song drew together her most successful hits coupled with seven new songs, including the lead-off single "That's the Way It Is", a cover of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", and "All the Way", a duet with Frank Sinatra.[79] All the Way became one of the best-selling compilation albums of all time, reaching No. 1 in the United States for three weeks.[59] The album was later certified 7× Platinum in the U.S. for 7 million copies shipped.[82] It also topped the charts in the UK,[83] Canada,[84] and Australia.[85] Her last French-language studio album of the 1990s, S'il suffisait d'aimer, was very successful as well, topping the charts in every major French-speaking country, including France,[86] Switzerland,[87] the Wallonia region of Belgium,[88] and Canada.[84] In France, the album was certified diamond, selling 1.5 million copies.[89] By the end of the 1990s, Dion had sold more than 130 million records worldwide, and had won a slew of industry awards.[90][91] Her status as one of the music industry's biggest pop divas was further solidified when she was asked to perform on VH1's Divas Live special in 1998, with superstars Aretha Franklin, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain, and Mariah Carey.[92] That year, she also received two of the highest Canadian honours: "Officer of the Order of Canada for Outstanding Contribution to the World of Contemporary Music"[93][94] and "Officer of the National Order of Quebec".[95] A year later, she was inducted into the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame, and was honoured with a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.[96]

Starting from the mid-1990s, the pop rock influence more noticeable in her earlier releases was replaced by a more mature feel.[65] Additionally, the recurring theme of "love" dominated most of her releases, which led to some critics dismissing her music as banal.[97] Other critics, like Elysa Gardner and Jose F. Promis, praised her voice during this period, describing it as a "technical marvel".[98][99] Steve Dollar, in his review of These Are Special Times, opined Dion was a "vocal Olympian for whom there ain't no mountain—or scale—high enough".[100]

2000–2003: Hiatus, A New Day Has Come, One Heart, and 1 fille & 4 types

Dion in November 1998

After releasing and promoting thirteen albums during the 1990s, Dion stated she needed to settle down, and announced on her latest album All the Way... A Decade of Song, she needed to take a step back from the spotlight and enjoy life.[15][101] Angélil's diagnosis with esophageal cancer also prompted her to hiatus.[102] While on break, she was unable to escape the spotlight. In 2000, the National Enquirer published a false story about Dion. Brandishing a picture of Dion and her husband, the magazine misquoted her, printing the headline, "Celine — 'I'm Pregnant With Twins!'"[103] She sued the magazine for more than $20 million.[104] The editors printed an apology and a full retraction in the next issue, and donated money to the American Cancer Society in honour of her and her husband. A year after the incident, after undergoing fertility treatments, she gave birth to a son, René-Charles Dion Angélil, on 25 January 2001, in Florida.[105][106]

Following the

Qualcomm Stadium. In December 2001, she published her autobiography, My Story, My Dream, which chronicled her rags-to-riches story.[13]

Dion ended her three-year sabbatical from the music industry with the aptly titled album A New Day Has Come, released in March 2002. The album was her most personal yet, with songs focusing on her motherhood and maturation as a woman such as "A New Day Has Come", and "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)". She stated: "Becoming a mother makes you a grown-up."[101] She also stated: "A New Day Has Come, for Rene, for me, is the baby. It has everything to do with the baby ... The song "A New Day Has Come" represents very well the mood I'm feeling right now. It represents the whole album."[108] A New Day Has Come debuted at No. 1 in more than 17 countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada.[109][110][111] In the United States, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 527,000 copies; marking her first No. 1 debut on the chart, as well as the highest debut sales week of her career in the U.S.[112] It was eventually certified 3× Platinum in the United States,[113] and 6× Platinum in Canada.[114]

While the album was commercially successful, critical reviews suggested it was "forgettable" and the lyrics were "lifeless".

In conjunction with an endorsement deal with Chrysler, she released One Heart (2003), an album representing her appreciation for life.[120] The album largely consisted of pop and dance music—a deviation from the soaring, melodramatic ballads, for which she had been known. Although the album achieved moderate success, One Heart was met with mixed criticism, and words such as "predictable" and "banal" appeared even in the most lenient reviews.[121][122] A cover of the 1989 Cyndi Lauper hit "I Drove All Night", released to launch her advertising campaign with Chrysler,[123] incorporated elements of dance-pop and rock and roll. The advertising deal was met with criticism, with some stating Dion was trying to cater to her sponsors.[124][125]

After One Heart, she released her next English-language studio album,

Chuck Taylor of Billboard wrote the single "Beautiful Boy" was "an unexpected gem" and called Dion "a timeless, enormously versatile artist",[127] Chuck Arnold of People, however, labelled the album as excessively sentimental,[128] while Nancy Miller of Entertainment Weekly opined that "the whole earth-mama act is just opportunism, reborn".[129] Miracle debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 in Canada and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA.[130]

The francophone album 1 fille & 4 types (1 Girl & 4 Guys), released in October 2003, fared better than her previous two releases and showed her trying to distance herself from the "diva" image. She recruited Jean-Jacques Goldman, Gildas Arzel, Eric Benzi, and Jacques Veneruso, with whom she had previously worked on two of her best-selling French albums S'il suffisait d'aimer and D'eux. Labeled "the album of pleasure" by Dion herself, the album cover showed her in a simple and relaxed manner, contrary to the choreographed poses usually found on her album covers. The album achieved widespread commercial success in France, Canada, and Belgium where it reached No. 1. In France, the album debuted at No. 1 and was later certified 2× platinum after selling over 700,000 copies. Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote Dion's vocals were "back at top of their game" and she was "getting back to pop basics and performing at a level unheard in a while".[131]

Though her albums were commercially successful, they did not achieve the sales or the reception of her previous works. Her songs received less airplay as radio became less embracing of balladeers like Dion, Carey, and Houston, and was focused on more up-tempo,

hip-hop songs.[132] By 2004, Dion had accumulated sales of more than 175 million albums worldwide and received the Chopard Diamond Award from the World Music Awards for her achievements. According to the official World Music Awards website, the award is rare; it is "not presented every year" and an artist can be presented with the award only for selling "over 100 million albums during their career".[133]

2003–2007: A New Day... residency

In early 2002, Dion announced a three-year, 600-show contract to appear five nights a week in an entertainment extravaganza, A New Day..., at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.[134] This move was generally seen as risky, but journalist Miriam Nunzio wrote it was "one of the smartest business decisions in years by any major recording artist".[135] Dion conceived the show after seeing O by Franco Dragone during her break from recording, and it premiered on 25 March 2003, in a 4,000-seat arena specifically designed for her show and modelled after the Roman Colosseum.[134] Many stars attended the opening night including Dick Clark, Alan Thicke, Kathy Griffin, Lance Bass, and Justin Timberlake, who hosted the television special.[136] The show, directed by Dragone and choreographed by Mia Michaels, was a combination of dance, music, and visual effects. It included Dion performing her biggest hits against an array of dancers and special effects. Reviewer Mike Weatherford felt that, at first, Dion was not as relaxed as she should be, and at times, it was hard to find her among the excessive stage ornamentation and dancers. However, he noted the show had become more enjoyable over the course of its run, because of her improved stage-presence and simplified costumes.[74]

The show was well received by audiences; it routinely sold out until its end in late 2007.[137] Ticket prices averaged US $135.33.[138] According to Pollstar, Dion sold 322,000 tickets and grossed US $43.9 million in the first half of 2005, and by July 2005, she had sold out 315 out of 384 shows.[139] By the end of 2005, she grossed more than US $76 million, placing sixth on Billboard's Money Makers list for 2005.[140] Because of the show's success, her contract was extended into 2007 for an undisclosed sum. On 5 January 2007, it was announced the show would end on 15 December 2007, with tickets for the period after October 2007 having gone on sale from 1 March.[141] According to Billboard, A New Day... is the most successful residency of all time, grossing over US$385 million ($583.83 million in 2024 dollars)[142] and drawing nearly three million people to 717 shows.[143] The Live in Las Vegas: A New Day... DVD was released on 10 December 2007, in Europe and the following day in North America.[144]

On 21 May 2007, Dion released the French-language album

In addition, she appeared on Idol Gives Back for a second year in a row. Dion was nominated for six Juno Awards in 2008, adding to her 53 previous nominations (an all-time record). Her nominations included Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year (for Taking Chances), Francophone Album of the Year (for D'elles) and Album of the Year (for both Taking Chances and D'elles).[152] The following year, she was nominated for 3 Juno Awards including the Fan Choice Award, Song of the Year (for "Taking Chances"), and Music DVD of the Year (for Live in Las Vegas: A New Day...)[153]

In December 2009, Pollstar announced she was the highest-grossing solo live music act in North America of the decade, second overall behind only the Dave Matthews Band.[158] She grossed $522.2 million during the decade, a large portion of the sum coming from her five-year residency at Caesars Palace.[158]

2022–present: Illness, acting debut and Paris Olympics

On 15 January 2022, Dion canceled her North American tour dates because of severe muscle spasms.[224] On 8 December, she announced she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disease.[225] She said the disease affected every aspect of her life, making it difficult to walk, and affected her vocal cords.[226] All her tour dates were cancelled.[227][228]In 2023, Dion starred as herself in Love Again, her first acting appearance in a feature film.[229] She also recorded five new songs for the soundtrack, released on 12 May; the first single, "Love Again", premiered on 13 April.[229] On 3 May 2024, a mashup of Dion's "I'm Alive" and the Whispers' 1979 song "And the Beat Goes On" was released as a single.[230][231] "Set My Heart on Fire (I'm Alive x And the Beat Goes On)", by Majestic and the Jammin Kid, also includes Dion as a lead credit. The single debuted at number 6 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart.[232] On 25 June 2024, Amazon MGM Studios released a documentary about Dion's life with stiff-person syndrome, I Am: Celine Dion.[233] The I Am: Celine Dion soundtrack was released on 21 June.[234] On 26 July, Dion sang "Hymne à l’amour" from the Eiffel Tower to conclude the 2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. It was her first public performance in four years.[235] Reviewing the ceremony, The Guardian wrote that Dion's performance was an "undaunted, beatific return", with "the gusto of someone who, by her own admission, longs to resume touring more than her fans".[236] On 13 November, Dion walked the runway at the 1000 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where she performed "I'm Alive" and "The Power of Love".[237]

Artistry

Influences

Michael Jackson in 1988. He is cited as the main inspiration for Dion to learn English.

Dion cites idols as varied as Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Charles Aznavour, Carole King, Anne Murray, Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston and the Bee Gees. She eventually collaborated with most of them.[238][239][240][241] Michael Jackson in particular was a major motivation for her to learn English as early as in the 1980s.[242] Her music has been influenced by numerous genres, including pop, rock, gospel, R&B, and soul, and her lyrics focus on themes of poverty, world hunger, and spirituality, with an emphasis on love and romance.[42][243] After the birth of her first child, her work increasingly focused on maternal love.[126][244][245][246]

Musical style

Dion has faced considerable criticism from critics, who state that her music often retreats behind pop and soul conventions, and is marked by excessive sentimentality.[27][97] According to Keith Harris of Rolling Stone magazine, "[Dion's] sentimentality is bombastic and defiant rather than demure and retiring ... [she] stands at the end of the chain of drastic devolution that goes Aretha–Whitney–Mariah. Far from being an aberration, Dion actually stands as a symbol of a certain kind of pop sensibility—bigger is better, too much is never enough, and the riper the emotion the more true."[247] Her recordings have been mainly in English and French, although she has also sung in several other languages including Japanese, Italian, German, Mandarin, Spanish, and Neapolitan.[248] Her francophone releases, by contrast, tend to be deeper and more varied than her English releases, and consequently have achieved more credibility.[38][249]

Critics have stated that Dion's involvement in the production aspect of her music is fundamentally lacking, which results in her work being overproduced[249] and impersonal.[38] However, coming from a family in which all of her siblings were musicians, she dabbled in learning how to play instruments like piano and guitar, and practised with a Fender Stratocaster during the recording sessions for her album Falling into You.[250]

Occasionally, Dion has contributed to the writing of a handful of her English and French songs, as well as writing a few songs for other artists such as Marc Dupré. Additionally, as her career progressed, she found herself taking charge in the production of her albums. On her first English album, which she recorded before she had a firm command of the English language, she expressed disapproval, which could have been avoided if she had assumed more creative input.[38] By the time she released her second English album Celine Dion, she assumed more control of the production and recording process, hoping to dispel earlier criticisms. She stated, "On the second album I said, 'Well, I have the choice to be afraid one more time and not be 100% happy, or not be afraid and be part of this album.' This is my album."[38] Besides her contributions to some of her early French albums, Dion wrote a few of the songs on Let's Talk About Love (1997) and These Are Special Times (1998).[251]

She is often the subject of media ridicule

MADtv, Saturday Night Live, South Park, Royal Canadian Air Farce, and This Hour Has 22 Minutes for her strong accent and onstage gesticulations. However, she has stated that she is unaffected by the comments, and is flattered that people take the time to impersonate her.[101] She even invited Ana Gasteyer, who parodied her on SNL, to appear onstage during one of her performances in New York City. While she is rarely politically outspoken, in 2005 following the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Dion appeared on Larry King Live and tearfully criticized the US government's slow response in aiding the victims of the hurricane: "There's people still there waiting to be rescued. To me that is not acceptable ... How can it be so easy to send planes in another country to kill everybody in a second and destroy lives. We need to serve our country."[253] After her interview, she stated, "When I do interviews with Larry King or the big TV shows like that, they put you on the spot, which is very difficult. I do have an opinion, but I'm a singer. I'm not a politician."[12]

Voice and timbre

In discussions of opera projects, Dion said she was a mezzo-soprano.[254] However, attempts to adapt classical voice types to other forms of singing have been met with controversy.[255] Kent Nagano, maestro of the Munich Symphony Orchestra, remarked, "All you just sang was soprano", after Dion auditioned with two solos from Carmen, wanting to know if she could sing opera.[254] Her timbre has been described as "thin, slightly nasal"[256] with a "raspy" lower register and "bell glass-like high notes".[257]

According to Linda Lister in Divafication: The Deification of Modern Female Pop Stars, she has been described as a reigning "Queen of Pop" for her influence over the recording industry during the 1990s, alongside other female artists, including Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.[258] In a countdown of the "22 Greatest Voices in Music" by Blender Magazine and MTV, she placed ninth (sixth for a female), and she was also placed fourth in Cover Magazine's list of "The 100 Outstanding Pop Vocalists".[259][260][261] MTV Australia ranked Dion at fourth place in their list of Top 10 music divas of all time.[262] Dion is often compared to Houston and Carey for her vocal style, and to her idol Barbra Streisand for her voice.[263]

She is often praised for her technical virtuosity.[264] Jim Santella of The Buffalo News writes "Like an iron fist in a velvet glove, the power of Celine Dion's voice is cloaked in a silky vibrato that betrays the intensity of her vocal commitment."[265] Jeff Miers, also of The Buffalo News, says of Dion "Her singing voice is absolutely extra-human. She hits notes in full voice, with a controlled vibrato and an incredible conception of pitch, like she's shucking an ear of corn."[266] Stephen Holden of The New York Times states that Dion has "a good-sized arsenal of technical skills. She can deliver tricky melismas, produce expressive vocal catches and sustain long notes without the tiniest wavering of pitch. And as her duets ... have shown, she is a reliable harmony voice."[256] In an interview with Libération, Jean-Jacques Goldman notes that she has "no problem of accuracy or tempo".[267] According to Kent Nagano, she is "a musician who has a good ear, a refinement, and a degree of perfection that is enviable".[254] Charles Alexander of Time states, "[Her] voice glides effortlessly from deep whispers to dead-on high notes, a sweet siren that combines force with grace."[37]

In her French repertoire, Dion adorns her vocals with more nuances and expressiveness, with the emotional intensity being "more tender and intimate".[268] Additionally, Luc Plamondon, a French singer-songwriter who has worked closely with Dion claims that there are three chanteuses (stylistically) that she uses: the Québécois, the French, and the American.[268] Her self-titled 1992 album was promoted with the slogan "Remember the name because you'll never forget the voice."[269][270]

Vogue named her as one of music's most exuberant dressers, beloved as much for her glorious voice as her extravagant sense of style.[276] Since her career's inception in 1981, Dion has been cited as an influence by various music artists all over the world, as well as one of the greaest vocalists of all-time. According to producer, musician, and former American Idol judge Randy Jackson, Dion, Houston, and Carey are the voices of the modern era.[277]

Dion has been the subject of various tribute projects around the world, including a jukebox musical Titanique, which is a retelling of the events from the 1997 film Titanic from the perspective of Dion,[278] and a musical comedy biopic titled Aline. Dion has also been the subject of numerous drag queens in their performance, and she has been referenced in music and films.

Other activities

Business endeavours

Les Productions Feeling Inc., also known as Feeling Inc. or just Feeling, is an artist management company based in Laval, Québec, Canada, and owned by Dion and her husband and manager, Rene Angélil. She is also founder of Nickels Restaurant food chain. She and her husband also own Le Mirage Golf Club and Schwartz's Restaurant. In association with Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf and Shaquille O'Neal, she opened a popular night club called Pure, located at Caesars Palace.[312] Dion launched an eponymous bag and accessories line "Céline Dion Collection". According to Innee-Sedona International, the Asia partner for Bugatti Group said that it already topped $10 million sales after just three collections.[313]

Dion became an entrepreneur with the establishment of her franchise restaurant Nickels in 1990. She has since divested her interests in the chain and is no longer affiliated with Nickels, as of 1997.[11] In 2003, Dion signed a deal with Coty to release Celine Dion Parfums.[314] Her latest fragrance, Signature, was released in September 2011[177] with an advertising campaign by New York agency Kraftworks NYC.[315] Since its inception, Celine Dion Parfums has grossed over $850 million in retail sales.[316][317] In October 2004, Air Canada hired Dion as part of their promotional campaign to unveil new service products and an updated livery. "You and I", the theme song sung by Dion, was written by advertising executives working for Air Canada.[318]

Philanthropy

Dion has actively supported many charity organizations, worldwide. She has promoted the

2004 Asian tsunami, which subsequently raised more than $1 million.[320] After the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, she donated $100,000 to China Children & Teenagers' Fund and sent a letter showing her consolation and support.[321] Since 2004, she is involved, alongside husband René Angelil, with the Québec gay community by supporting the publication of health and HIV prevention materials in Gay Globe Magazine, owned by journalist Roger-Luc Chayer.[322] She is also a member of Canadian charity Artists Against Racism.[323] In November 2018, she launched a gender-neutral clothing line for kids, Celinununu.[324] In 2009, Dion joined an effort with Leonardo DiCaprio, James Cameron and Kate Winslet to donate money to support the nursing home fees of the then-last living survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, Millvina Dean. The campaign resulted in $30,000 as donation.[325][326]

Personal life

Relationships and family

Dion first met René Angélil, her future husband and manager, in 1980, when she was 12 and he was 38, after her brother, Michel Dondalinger Dion, had sent him a demonstration recording of "Ce n'était qu'un rêve" ("It Was Only a Dream/Nothing but a Dream"), a song she, her mother Thérèse, and her brother Jacques Dion had jointly written. Over subsequent years, Angélil guided her to stardom in Francophone territories.

After the dissolution (around 1985) of Angélil's second marriage (to Canadian singer Anne Renée), he and Dion took a break from each other professionally, and he spent a major part of the year in Las Vegas, while Dion was learning English and taking dance and vocal lessons in Montreal. Upon his return, "he avoided being alone with me for too long a time",[327] she said in her 2000 autobiography My Story, My Dream. Meanwhile, she kept a photo of Angélil under her pillow, later writing, "Before I fell asleep, I slipped it under the pillow, out of fear that my mother, who always shared a room with me, would find it."[328] She also wrote, "Less and less could I hide from myself the fact that I was in love with René; I had all the symptoms,"[329] and "I was in love with a man I couldn't love, who didn't want me to love him, who didn't want to love me."[330] Dion's mother, who traveled everywhere with her until she was 19, was initially wary of her growing infatuation with a much older and twice-divorced Angélil, but Dion was insistent, telling her mother "I'm not a minor. This is a free country. No one has the right to prevent me from loving whoever I want to."[331]

Their professional relationship eventually turned romantic after Dion's win at the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin in 1988, when she was 20.[332][9][333] The romance was known to only family and friends for five years, though Dion nearly revealed it in a tearful 1992 interview with journalist Lise Payette.[334][335] Many years later, Payette penned the song "Je cherche l'ombre" for Dion's 2007 album D'elles.[336] Dion and Angélil became engaged on 30 March 1993, which was Dion's 25th birthday,[337] and made their relationship public in the liner notes of her 1993 album The Colour of My Love.[338] They married on 17 December 1994, at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec. On 5 January 2000, Dion and Angélil renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas.[339]

In May 2000, Dion had two small operations at a fertility clinic in New York to improve her chances of conceiving, after deciding to use

in vitro fertilization because of years of failed attempts to conceive. Their first son, René-Charles Angélil, was born on 25 January 2001. Dion suffered a miscarriage in 2009. In May 2010, Dion announced that she was 14 weeks pregnant with twins after a sixth treatment of in vitro fertilization. On Saturday, 23 October 2010, at 11:11 and 11:12 am respectively, Dion gave birth to fraternal twins by Caesarean section at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.[340] The twins were named Eddy, after Dion's favourite French songwriter, Eddy Marnay, who had also produced her first five albums; and Nelson, after former South African president Nelson Mandela.[341] She appeared with her newborn sons on the cover of 9 December 2010 issue of the Canadian edition of Hello! magazine.[342]

Dion and husband René Angélil in 2012

On 14 January 2016, Angélil died at age 73 of throat cancer.[343][344] His funeral was held on 22 January 2016, in Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, where he and Dion wed 21 years earlier. The couple's eldest son René-Charles gave the eulogy, three days before his 15th birthday.[345] Following Angélil's death, Dion became the sole owner and president of her management and production companies, including CDA Productions and Les Productions Feeling.[346][347] Two days after Angélil's death—on what would have been her husband's birthday—one of Dion's brothers, Daniel, died at age 59, also of cancer.[348]

Health

On 22 March 2018, Dion's management team announced that she had been dealing with hearing irregularities for the previous 12 to 18 months due to

minimally invasive surgical procedure to correct the problem after ear-drop medications appeared to be no longer working.[349]

Owing to her slight frame, Dion has been subject to eating disorder rumors for decades, which she has consistently denied:

The National Ballet of Canada and La La La Human Steps, and former Cirque du Soleil dancer-turned-fashion-illustrator, Pepe Muñoz, who is also part of her styling team.[350][355] She is also a skier and a regular at her son René-Charles' hockey games.[356][357][358]

In December 2022, Dion disclosed that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome,[359][360] a neurological disorder affecting her muscles. In June 2024, Dion publicly disclosed in a People magazine cover story that she had struggled with a variety of mysterious symptoms for 17 years before her August 2022 diagnosis.[361] It was also concurrently revealed that for two years, Dion had been under the care of Dr. Amanda Piquet, a specialist in autoimmune neurology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado,[362] and that Dion's charitable foundation was donating $2 million to the Anschutz Medical Campus to support autoimmune neurology research for five years.[363] Dion explained that with the help of Dr. Piquet and other experts, she was already preparing to return to the stage: "My voice is being rebuilt as we speak, right now."[364]

In 2024, Forbes reported that Dion had a net worth of US$550 million, getting her to no. 59 on the magazine's list of America's Richest Self-Made Women.[366] In 2023, Dion sold her Summerlin, Nevada house for US$30 million.[367] She previously owned a home on a private island in Montreal, which she sold for US$25.5 million in 2019.[368] In 2017, Dion sold her Jupiter Island, Florida home for US$38.5 million[369] After the death of her mother in 2020, Dion listed her mother's Laval home for US$1.785 million.[370] As of 2024, Dion resides in a house in Henderson, Nevada, which was reportedly purchased for US$1.5 million in 2003 and as of 2024 was now closer to US$4.5 million in value after renovations.[371]
