PopMusicBoy Posted August 29, 2007 at 05:18 AM Posted August 29, 2007 at 05:18 AM I hear it's 25 years after an artist's first record they become eligible for the R&R HoF. I know Celine released in Canada in 1982, but I don't know if that qualifies. Is she eligible now, or does she have to wait til 2015? And if she isn eligible, why isn't she there yet? Quote
Love, Posted August 29, 2007 at 06:39 AM Posted August 29, 2007 at 06:39 AM Although she has gone far and beyond most people in the industry and certainly deserves awards of this level, I don't think she would want these lifetime achievement awards yet... She still has miles to go before she sleeps Quote

She still has miles to go before she sleeps Amen ! Besides, there is only one Celine album in the entire Hall of Fame definitive 200 albums. Falling Into You at #97 So I don't think they are gonna be that anxious to enlist Celine in the list as of yet Quote
Clio Posted August 29, 2007 at 03:18 PM Posted August 29, 2007 at 03:18 PM the new album will have a lot of rock songs! Quote http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6184/houstannc9.jpg
wayne0223 Posted January 16, 2020 at 05:28 PM Posted January 16, 2020 at 05:28 PM Let's talk about this one or even the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Celine obviously was one of the top pop music influences in 90's and was the game changer of the concert residency in 00's. There's still a little chance that she can induct into the R&R hall of fame with these elements, or even her Falling into You album is on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Definitive 200 list (dont know its true or not).

minolli Posted January 16, 2020 at 10:51 PM Posted January 16, 2020 at 10:51 PM The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame seems to have a pretty strong bias against pop singers, but the inclusion of Whitney this year may open the door to more pop artists. I wonder, when it comes to recognition like this, how much of a weight is put on the fact that Celine is not a songwriter, as there seems to be a sense among some critics and industry types that while you may be a great performer, you're not a "true musician" if you aren't a songwriter. That said, Linda Ronstadt was inducted in 2014, and she isn't a songwriter, but again, her style tended more toward folk, country, and rock than pop. I found this article from NPR -- 41 Women Who Should Be In The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame -- to be pretty enlightening, though, no, Celine is not on their list.

PuraVida Posted January 17, 2020 at 01:17 AM Posted January 17, 2020 at 01:17 AM This is the first year Whitney was eligible...and she came around about 5-7 years before Céline...so I would say it is at least until the mid 2020s that Céline is even eligible...and probably a very long time before she gets inducted, if at all.... Keep in mind, there are many rock groups that are on backlog...Pat Benatar was one such mentioned in the news that got snubbed this year, for example. I’m not sure if Céline really belongs in the group...but I guess that’s up for debate. Quote
pat200 Posted January 17, 2020 at 01:55 AM Posted January 17, 2020 at 01:55 AM Whitney was eligible since 2010. This is the year she is being inducted. Celine was eligible in 2015. Quote
DionFanAlways Posted January 17, 2020 at 02:29 AM Posted January 17, 2020 at 02:29 AM I just looked at the list. If they're really looking at including these women then it should just be called the music hall of fame. I mean some are strictly country, some pop so the term "rock and roll" is not really fitting imo. So, to me, Celine wouldn't fit in this R&R hall of fame. Quote I have had the time of my life following this woman! Much love.
SuperLove4Celine Posted January 17, 2020 at 04:42 AM Posted January 17, 2020 at 04:42 AM The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is still relevant? LOL 1 Quote
sash546 Posted January 18, 2020 at 12:11 AM Posted January 18, 2020 at 12:11 AM I want to know when Celine will win an award for pioneering the LV residency. Billboard or the Grammys need to create a "residency of the year" award category and name it after Celine. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Quote

Yes, and the music is called "Rock'n'roll" not "Rock and roll" and yet it is called the "rock and roll hall of fame". Everything changed when Madonna was inducted. They said that her music wasn'r rock but her attitude was. Now we all know that Céline does not make rock music (although some of her songs are) but is her spirit rock? There are many artist to induct before her. Come to think of it, Neil Sedaka is not in the rock and roll hall of fame, and T-Rex was inducted just this year! 1 Quote
duchess83 Posted January 18, 2020 at 11:13 PM Posted January 18, 2020 at 11:13 PM The hall of fame is a mess and always has been. But if they're honoring pop singers more frequently, Celine should make it in eventually. Quote
george_matei Posted March 20, 2026 at 09:45 PM Posted March 20, 2026 at 09:45 PM What do we think of that now? Mariah's nominated this year. Quote
celine2199 Posted March 21, 2026 at 12:33 AM Posted March 21, 2026 at 12:33 AM I hope that hall of shame leave Céline alone... I hate rock with passion and She is so above that s***... Quote
emiliejolie Posted March 21, 2026 at 08:56 AM Posted March 21, 2026 at 08:56 AM Rock and Roll ? Celine is a pop singer Quote

I am not a rocker myself, but I do love some rock songs and Celine herself was always surrounded by rock and I am sure she listens to some old school rock. Quote

Madonna was inducted for example. And Madonna is the definition of popular music. 🙃 Mariah's being nominated this year. Personally, I think that it could be great for Celine to recieve her flowers while she's still with us. It's a bit frustrating to see Mariah receiving a lot of honorary awards lately. Not that she doesn't deserve them, but Celine should be there too. Edited March 21, 2026 at 10:04 AM by george_matei 1 Quote
comingback Posted March 21, 2026 at 10:24 AM Posted March 21, 2026 at 10:24 AM Why isn't Celine in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame? 🤔 Quote

anewdionhascome Posted April 5, 2026 at 05:50 AM Posted April 5, 2026 at 05:50 AM RRHOF favored edgy, rebellious, and counter cultural acts for yeaaars! And even now, they tend to lean towards artists who write and/or produce their own music. During her peak, even through the 2000s, critics often dismissed her music and gave mixed to negative reviews. However, the RRHOF has since evolved and expanded the pool of genres and then in recent years we saw big music pop stars get inducted like Janet (2019), Whitney (2020), Cher (2024). Whitney's induction, a vocal powerhouse whose not a notable songwriter, tho gave me small hopes for Céline to atleast be nominated in the future. While Celine doesn't fit the traditional rock mold and is not a notable songwriter, she is too monolithic to be ignored forever. I still believe she will get her moment in the right time. Quote
