* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Céline herself is named after the song ''Céline'' by Hugues Aufray. Her first son, René [[OddNameOut Charles]] Dion Angélil, is a bit complicated case of this, as the name Charles was actually taken from her grandfather.

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: There was once a song by Jean Jacques Goldman called ''Puisque tu pars'', which is basically the [[TearJerker tearjerking]] complaint of a parent who sees their child leave them to experience life in the outside world.

You might know her version as the infamous ''Let's Talk About Love''.

** CoveredUp: Some of her covers outfamed the originals, such as ''The Power Of Love'' (from Jennifer Rush), ''It's All Coming Back to Me Now'' (from Pandora's Box), ''All By Myself'' (from Eric Carmen), and ''If You Asked Me To'' (from Patti La Belle). So much so, that many people tend to mistakenly attribute those songs to having been originally sung by her.

* ScareChord: During the intro of ''It's All Coming Back To Me Now'' The music video utilizes this to represent the exact moment her love interest was killed.

* IncompatibleOrientation: ''Ziggy (Un Garcon Pas Comme Les Autres)'', cover from {{Starmania}}.

* ShowerScene: In some videos, but she's never the one showering.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: she sings in French with only the barest Québecois accent. When she speaks however, her accent's so thick, a common joke is to say that even the people of Québec have trouble understanding what she says.

* PimpedOutDress: A couple in her videos.

[[BreakthroughHit Gained full mainstream attention]] when she sang "My Heart Will Go On" for the film ''{{Titanic}}''.

* SelfDeprecation: She's ''really'' good at taking a joke. When [=SNL=] was doing their [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPwLSl_IWSI parodies of her]] in the wake of the success of ''Titanic,'' she found it absolutely hilarious and even invited Ana Gasteyer to do her impression of her at one of her concerts.

* AwardBaitSong: A couple, and in fact, some of hers had been Oscar-nominated (''"Because You Loved Me"'', which won a Grammy instead), or won an Oscar (''"My Heart Will Go On"'').

* [[PlayingAgainstType Singing Against Type]]: She is so well known for singing ballads (well, one ballad in particular) that it's a strange, but welcome, change when she does something up-tempo. "That's the Way it Is" and "I'm Alive" from the ''Stuart Little'' soundtrack were both good examples.
