One of the most infamous French recording artists, in history, is Celine Dion. Celine Dion is an extremely talented artist who is able to sell millions of copies, of her albums, in a matter of days - even after so many years in the business. She not only catches the attention of French audiences, but English audiences as well.
While headlining in Las Vegas, nearly every performance was sold out. Her talent, and magical vocals, has captured the hearts of many adoring fans. She puts on a show that not only speaks to your soul, but also entertains your visual senses. The costumes are phenomenal and choreography is unspeakably impressive. The combination of her moving vocals and the performance that she so passionately displays, continually captures the attention of new and existing fans.
Celine Dion was born in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada, and was one of 14 children. Celine started singing at the age of 12. Her first song was written by her, and recorded by her mother, at home. Celine's brother, sneakily, mailed the recording for Rene Angelil. After not hearing anything, for a while, her brother even took the step to call Angelil and insist on him listening to the recording of his sister.
After listening to the recording, Angelil was impressed, and requested a live performance from Celine. He was so moved, by her performance that he promised to help make a name for her. Angelil did as promised and produced Celine's first two French albums. At the age of 15 she was presented with the French Gold record, this was a first in Canadian history.
By the age of 18, Celine was insistent on becoming a pop star. Angelil helped Celine to change her look, giving her what she needed to be noticed. During this time, Celine went to school to learn English, giving her a chance, not only on the French market, but in America too. Not too long after this transformation, Celine's albums hit the American Market, with several songs hitting the charts.
Disney approached Celine, in 1991, to perform the theme song for "Beauty and the Beast". The following year, Celine not only won a Grammy and an Oscar, but also produced more albums, and a handful of her songs made it on the Top 40 charts.
In 1997, she had another opportunity of a lifetime, to perform the song "My Heart Will Go On" for the soundtrack to the movie "Titanic". With Celine's range of octaves, that she so eloquently hits, this was another opportunity for her to share her magical vocal talent with the world.
In 2001, Celine and Angelil became the proud parents of a little boy. Passionate and dedicated, to both her family and her career, Celine continues to produce both French and English albums.
She is currently on tour, which will be ending at some point this year. This tour, known as "Taking Chances", has already hit the charts for one of the top grossing tours of 2008. - 15359
