History Music / CelineDion

* AllWomenLoveShoes: She once told Creator/EllenDeGeneres that she had over 3000 pairs of shoes. Also, in a Carpool Karaoke, Creator/JamesCorden made her donate some of her shoes to bypassers on the streets of Las Vegas, much to her personal horror.

* LyricVideo: Between ''Loved Me Back To Life'' to ''Encore Un Soir'' era, her music videos are often these as opposed to cinematic videos, except [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvO5z5tx4ZA Incredible]]. She has since made cinematic music videos again starting from [[Film/Deadpool2 ''Ashes'']].

*** "Immortality" got a TranslatedCoverVersion thanks to Music/SandyEJunior, and their version has arguably eclipsed the original in popularity.

Céline Marie Claudette Dion (born March 30, 1968) is one of the most popular [[CanadaEh Canadian]] singers of all time. Born in [[UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}} Quebec]], ''the'' Canadian province whose majority of populace speak French[[note]]Canadian French, that is. It has evolved in a different direction compared to European French since it stopped being a French colony.[[/note]]. Thus, she spent her early years speaking and singing French. Met her future husband, music manager René Angélil in 1981, who remained her manager ever since (although he officially stepped down as his health deteriorated later in his life). Started singing English in the late 1980s and released her first English album in 1990, but until present day she still sings in both French and English and has recorded in several other languages, including Spanish and even Japanese. Married René in 1994 and lived happily together along with three sons despite [[MayDecemberRomance the two's age difference]] until René passing due to throat cancer on January 14, 2016, 21 years into their marriage.

** "Tous Les Blues Sont Ecrits Pour Toi" (All the blues written for you") literally starts with "I woke up this morning baby, The blues was pouring out of me", and there is a few "Nobody knows" and "Nobody cares" thrown in later in the song.

* GratuitousEnglish: Her 1987 French-Canadian hit, "Lolita (Trop jeune pour aimer)" ("Too Young for Love"), includes the English phrase "I love you" a number of times, especially at the end of the song. Mind you, her English-language debut album was still three years away.

Her first American hit song was "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" and she attracted even more attention through her Oscar- and Grammy-winning theme song to Disney's ''[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast 1991 Beauty and the Beast]]'', but it was a [[BreakthroughHit pair of movie themes]] later in the '90s that made her a true household name: "Because You Loved Me" (from ''Up Close and Personal'') and "My Heart Will Go On" (''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'').

** ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' has used her as a Butt Monkey on a few occasions. In one strip, Jason posts on the Internet a false rumor that the new ''Franchise/StarWars'' movie will include a Celine Dion ballad over the opening credits in surround sound, his aim being to keep fans out of the theaters to increase his own chances of buying a ticket on opening day. In another, Jason remarks about Celine's parent record company, Sony Music Entertainment, foisting malware on anyone who tries to play the company's [=CDs=] in a computer in an anti-piracy measure.
---> '''Jason:''' Makes you feel sorry for people who bought the new Celine Dion album. ... ''Almost''.
---> '''Peter:''' I was just about to say.

* SingingVoiceDissonance: She sings in French with only the barest Québecois accent. When she speaks however, her accent's so thick, a common joke is that even the people of Québec have trouble understanding what she says.

* WhereItAllBegan: Her wedding was held in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_Basilica_(Montreal) Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal]]. René Angelil's funeral later was also held in the same place.

* NunTooHoly: One of her old French song, ''La Religieuse'' (''The Nun'') has shades of this, with the eponymous nun having had some romantic affairs in the past.
* OhCrap / OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She normally stays out of talks when it came to politics, especially about other countries; Celine tearfully criticized George Bush’s Iraq War and response to Katrina during her interview on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXD4BGvPngM Larry King in 2005]]. Considering the situations happening at time and the fact she’s grew up in poverty when talking Katrina, [[YouAreNotAlone who can honestly blame her]]?

* AllJustADream: Her first single ''C'est n'etait qu'un reve'' actually translates into this. The song was co-written by her mother.

* BoyishShortHair: She sported this during the ''One Heart'' era.

** 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'' (Pandora's Box), ''All By Myself'' (Music/EricCarmen), ''Unison'' (British R&B singer Junior), and ''If You Asked Me To'' (Music/PattiLaBelle). So much so, that many people tend to mistakenly attribute those songs to having been originally sung by her.

** TranslatedCoverVersion: Her early French songs exhibit several French-translated English songs, and some of her English albums contain songs that are translated from French songs, some hers, some others'. Then she occasionally sing in other languages such as Japanese, Spanish etc.
*** CBS had originally tended for Dion's first English-language album to be a track-by-track translation of her blockbuster 1987 French album, ''Incognito,'' which would have involved keeping the same musical arrangements and replacing her original French vocals with new vocals in English. However, after Dion attracted positive buzz for her English-language performances, CBS increased the budget for the album, and in the end, ''Unison'' shared only one song with ''Incognito'' - "Have a Heart," aka "Partout je te vois" in French (which was actually written in English first and then translated to French for ''Incognito'').

* PowerBallad: Most of her discography in the 1990s (at least in English). She became more or less the most prominent power ballad performing after the reigning king of the genre (Music/MichaelBolton) declined in popularity at the end of the decade. Coincidentally, the first time she toured the United States in 1991 was as Michael Bolton's opening act.

* FairytaleWeddingDress: Her wedding dress, aside from being beautiful as expected from wedding dresses, came with a fancy headgear and mink coat.

* FairytaleWeddingDress

* MedalOfDishonor: In 1990, she won "Best English Speaking Artist" in Felix Award (the Quebec Grammys). She rejected the award - and ''on live television'' - because, despite the pride she felt in her English-language recordings, she felt she has always been a French-speaking artist, not English. This reportedly caused the award name to be changed into "''Quebec Artist Achieving Most Success in A Language Other Than French''" (a name change Dion herself suggested in her "refusal to accept" speech).

* AdamWesting: In the "Ashes" music video for ''[[Film/Deadpool2 Deadpool 2]],'' being deeply offended when she's told her performance is ''too good'' and [[AccidentalMisnaming calling Deadpool]] [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spider-Man.]]

* AwardBaitSong: It started with ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and she went on to sing a few more, winning some Grammys (such as "Because You Loved Me") and Oscars ("My Heart Will Go On") along the way.
