Ana played Céline like she'd play any generic French person.
Which is just embarrassing, because Céline sounds nothing like a generic French person. At all. A Québecois accent sounds completely different, both in English and in French. Ana could've imitated her with a Spanish accent and it would've been just as off the mark.
Also, Céline is so expressive and has so many specific mannerisms, certain expressions she constantly uses... She should be so easy to imitate if you have any talent for it, even if you can't get the accent right. But Ana couldn't even do that. Most people on here would do a better job tbh.
Completely agree.

She did use those expressions....
"I come from a family of ____ "
"Thank you everybody in the house"
And then doing the two-finger salute that Celine does from her forehead and also the clapping on her forearm wihile her other hand is holding the microphone...
And you can say a lot of things about Ana's accent (fair enough) but to say that her impression was not expressive totally misses the mark
Not to mention

It was a hugely popular sketch.

But the sketch? Cringe.
Céline doesn't scream like that when she talks to an audience. Her inflections when singing are different (I got more of Judy Garland vibe for some reason?), her posture, body language are so different.
There's nothing there that reminds me of Céline.
I honestly wonder why all decent Céline imitators are men 😂
Like this guy, you can tell he studied her:

Mirroring? She wasn't even looking at Celine at that moment, nor for most of her time on the stage. She studied beforehand, in her own way. Yes, she did classic Celine-isms, including being mouth agape, hand on chest, and "shocked" at the audience being there and being so in love with her----just like the Kathy Griffin impression of Celine years later about the Vegas show about how Celine acts shocked anyone showed up. it was not only the two finger salture (at 0:17) or the clapping.
She also had the look down in the SNL sketch. That dress was just like her 97 Juno's dress, and the slicked back hair of that era.
It's a caricature. What you showed was studied, yes, but what makes the Ana one so funny (to me) is that it is an exagerration. From an abusridst point of view. That is actually how you make it funny, not by being a carbon copy of the person....as someone said above, it's not acting them in a movie. It's lampooning them. Celine is so humble, that the comedy lies in portraying this "Inner voice" that thinks she's the best and is better than people---but doing that while building on stuff that Celine actually says and by making Celine's natural expressiveness even more exagerrated.
That is why the other male imitator is so funny, the older one (don't remember his name) He takes the same absurdist approach but using the other sides of Celine.

And - this might be personal- it's generally much funnier if it's just a little exaggerated, not conpletely over the top.
I don't often find SNL funny to begin with, maybe for that reason. MadTV imitations were generally much better (like Debra Wison's savage but spot-on Whitney-impression... I was watching that again yesterday and damn lol).

You're right, but I am saying she was exagerrating Celine-isms. Of course, you don't have to find it funny. But you can hear SNL audience and the Madison Square Garden crowds both laughing.
Agree to disagree.

They did Celine on MADTv and it was actually downright insulting. Ana at least tapped into that very sincere part of Celine to caricaturize her. Ana's was a lampooning impersonation. MADTv just went in for the digs.

Mo Collins did a Celine sketch which I love so much. It's not very close to how Celine is but it's still funny to me and more respectful compared to others they did of her.
The way she brings attention to her leg gets me everytime.
This one gets her personality very wrong but it's still so funny imo (no video, just audio)
"Look at me, look at me Mariah" lol
I find just the audio in this one funnier, even though it's not even close to Celine (and they joked about her being racist for some reason) than Anna's skit on SNL. MadTV was not PC at all.
Deborah was hilarious as Whitney and Beyonce.

Charlotte Cardin: I have a lot of different influences. I think one of my main influences is Radiohead - I heard a lot of Radiohead when I was a teenager and still listen to the band now. But I also heard a lot of pop music when I grew up. I guess you can hear from my music that I like many different music genres and also like to try different music styles. I would say Nina Simone is also a great influence. And Céline Dion. I grew up being the biggest Céline Dion fan. She definitely inspired me and is one of the reasons why I sing now. As a child, I tried to imitate them. I discovered my love of music through her songs.

Him and his mom (who explains Celine's habit of hitting her chest do have an effect on her voice/energy) are very knowledgeable. It's worth watching!

“ 'I wanted to heal people's souls'
The earliest Storry, a.k.a. Dina Koutsouflakis, remembers singing into a microphone was at two years old, though six years later she would ask for a stack of medical books for Christmas because she couldn't decide whether she wanted to be a singer or a doctor. (She did get those wish-list books, and studied them religiously.) But she was just as dedicated to the Canadian legends of the '90s, going so far as learning Dion's biggest French single, "Pour que tu m'aimes encore," mannerisms and all, and making everyone think she spoke French (she did not). Ultimately, music won out.”
