9. did you see the first Divas concert? . . .
(don't recall if it was VH1 or MTV) . . . Celine was one of six (I think) "divas" who shared the stage to theoretically wow the audience . . . the others included Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, Carole King, someone else, and . . . Aretha! . . .

long story short, by the time the concert ended, it could have been renamed "Aretha and Her Five Backup Singers" . . . she blew them all out of the water, and at times it was actually painful to watch . . . Celine almost busted a gut trying to be "soulful" while singing with Aretha, and then stood back while The Queen did her incomparable thing with seemingly no effort whatsoever . . . I felt embarrassed for her and for the others, all of whom are certainly okay singers (and, in Carole King's case, an exceptional songwriter) . . . but they just got their asses handed to them on that particular night . . .

my own opinion of Celine is that she is indeed an okay singer who does material that I just don't care for . . . and when she tries to go outside her genre (e.g. tries to sing R&B), she just plain sucks . . . sorry . . .

14. Sistah Aretha...
is a phenomenon. Putting her on the stage with ANYONE is unfair, even now, when age has taken its toll on her high notes.

She's one of those few people who go beyond singing. Something mystical happens when she opens her mouth, and the angels celebrate.

No one's ever gonna say seriously that there's anything wrong with Carey or Twain-- they have marvelous voices. And Celine's voice is damn good when she stays with what she does best.

But Aretha, man, she just grabs you and don't let go.

It's what they mean by "soul."

13. She has a good voice.
But I really don't like her music. She sings a lot of Cliche love songs that are a dime a dozen. It is quite dull.

She also tried to sing AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long". I'm sorry, but that was not meant for her.

19. Fortunately, I didn't see her massacre 'You Shook Me..."
But I went into uncontrollable giggle fits over the prospect of her even trying to do it. I'd love to see her perform Big Mama Thornton's 'Ball & Chain'. I imagine it would be something like the Bee Gees doing Gregorian chants.

20. No offense, but that is one of the worst songs by one of the worrst bands.
AC/DC's lead singer's voice- now THAT's torture.

29. The more recent one - not the dead one.
I get them mixed up.

There's a reason AC/DC never went as mainstream as Aerosmith. They're music isn't too hard, it's just that nails on sandpaper on chalkboard voice!

40. Any Aerosmith album after 1985
sucks almost as much as Celine Dion does.

And they use the same fucking songwriters, no less!

41. None taken!!!
I can't stand AC/DC! I was hardly defending them - I'm just amused by the idea of Little Miss Prisspot doing hardcore testosterock vocals.

16. Celine Dion walks into a bar.....Barman says "Why the long face?"
She's not as bad as Mariah Carey, but then again neither is tertiary syphillis.

Shrieking banshee woman.

"The Canadian government has apologised for Celine Dion on a number of occasions......"

I've tried to find a pic of her before she had her teeth done, but no luck...YIKES! Back to the loch with you, Nessie!

27. Laughing my fucking ass off here!
You do that so well. :)

Hey, at least Celine has never written a lyric that goes, "I believe our children are the future..."

(She just wishes she'd thought it up first.)

25. Insincere vocal histrionics=sucks like * in a roomful of billionaire
greedy old prikkks. I would compare her singing style to that of a technically gifted hair band lead guitarist. All whoop de do but no style and grace.

32. It's not that she sucks
It's that every time she has a new song, radio stations play it until you want drive nails into your eardrums! It's hard to like a singer when her songs have that effect...

35. She doesn't sing- she yells.
Truly good singers use many "colors"- she uses one - Yelling!

and I also think she is most unappealing...ZERO sex appeal.

That pic you posted is not representative of how she usually looks.

I don't know what it is about her that annoys me so much but she just does.

37. To quote a song one of my students wrote
"Celine Dion, Celine Dion, she is the girl that I want to pee on."

Sorry, that was totally awful and crass.

But then again, so is Celine...:puke:

It's just my $0.02. If you like, by all means....
