When and how did you find out about Celine Dion?


Recommended Posts

I found out about her when I was really young because my parents had her CDs and would listen to them in the car and in the house. When I got my own CD player at like age 8, I took some of my parents CDs and listened to them. I was in love with Celine Dion's music :wub:

Gosh!! It started in 2002 when ANDHC got released! I think I was 9 years or something... Anyway, my big obsession didn't start before 2006 when I watched a biography about her. The TV-show was cut in part 1, and part 2...It was kinda pain for me bc I had to wait 1 week to get to watch part 2! However, I got hooked after that Celine and René ha talked bout their love affair. Gosh...the story was so so sweet! Even tho the age different is huge, it's nice to see that those kind of relationships actually excists :)

One year for Christmas, my mom got 'All The Way' in her stocking. Well lets just say I LOVED IT!!! I remember dancing on the tops of the couches to 'Love Can Move Mountains' :)

I'll die, and I know my love will stay. And I know, I know, my love will stay."

It all started, when I was eight years old. I saw her on the T.V. It was the '98 Oscars, she was singing "My Heart Will Go On." From that moment, on I was hooked. I have, all her c.d.s from 1990-2010.

Wow, what a fabulous topic...

For me it was the dats when Kasey Casem was doing his top 20 count down on sunday mornings and I heard her. At first though i thought she was good but it was like yeah whatever. I've been a fan ever since, but have become a serious fan because of through the eyes of The World last year. I feel like I know her because of that!

Again, this is an awesome topic, I think everyone should respond to it because I love hearing how/why people came to love her.

Kailyn, I was absolutely not sarcastic, and drop dead serious I think it is an awesome way to discover her. Such a low-key mellow way to discover such a wonderfully intense singer. I love it, was not being rude at all. I'm sorry if I didn't show it better...

I'm kidding Christina, remember how you said you can't tell how something is being said, when it is typed? Anyway, i'd never get my feelings hurt by such a nice person... aka you! :)

I actually discovered Celine by accident as well. When Leona Lewis was slaying the world with "Bleeding Love" I became interested in her, and as funny as it sounds, I thought.... is this woman black or white!?!?!?!? LOL! So I went online to look for a video to find out, and the one that popped up was Leona's performance of All By Myself....all the comments mentioned Celine so I checked her version out, and the rest is history....

I wondered the same thing, Tyler. But she has a good voice and has been compared to Mariah. didn't know Leona took on ABM. Cool way to discover Celine, thanks for sharing.

I remember the days when Because You Loved Me was my very first song, but Let's Talk About Love was my first album for my sixteenth birthday. I asked my mom to read the song titles and see if that song was there. How naive was I, for now I know better...Wow...

I really like the head-voice note she does after the high note!

My mom tells me that when I was two and she took me to wal mart, I would sing MHWGO when it came on the store radio! lol!

I distinctively remember hearing BYLM on the radio in the car, and my mom would turn it up and I'd try and change the station and say "Ugh this song is boring mommy!" and she'd say "someday you're gonna appreciate these lyrics!" :giggle: Who knew I would! :shrug:

I remember being young, about ten or so, when Celine came on Good Morning America and I said yuck I don't like her, yes there was a time I said and meant that. I can't believe it and feel so sorry for my uneducated younger self. My mother sad, well, dear, half a million people in america like her.

Now, I am one of them and damn freaking proud of it!!

i was one of those Indians who never liked the idea of listening to any music that is not Indian. i would watch a lota Hollywood movies but never really paid attention to music or featured songs

 

...and then (back in 1997) J.Cameron released "Titanic" and i heard "MHWGO" ...was hooked by the sheer awesomeness of her voice & technical ability; checked out who the singer was and within a year i brought all her albms released til that time :yes:

 

thank u Celine for introducing me to pop music world & proving me that there r also gifted & technically capable singers among the Britneys & Madonnas!!

Posted (edited)
I Wanted to see titanic since like the 5th grade and my mom wouldnt let me borrow it from the library. A few monthes later and many hours of begging, my mom gave in!! I thought the movie was fabulous but the song at the end BLEW ME AWAY!!! I would listen to MHWGO all day long. Then i decided to listen to Celine's other songs and fell IN LOVE with her music! In 6th grade i found out about her tour and bought her album (My First!!!) and that really jump started my love for her!! Now i am a full blown Celine Dion fan!! :clap: Edited by swimmer

I probably have told this before, but here goes my story:

 

I watched the Eurovision Songcontest back in 1988 and was really taken by Céline with Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi and was very glad she won.

 

Then in 1991 I heard Where Does My Heart Beat Now on the radio. I loved this song too.

 

In 1992 I fell in love with Beauty and the Beast and read a wonderful review of the 'celine dion' album in my favorite magazine of the time. They compared her to two of my other favorite singers: Whitney and Mariah, but the review said Céline's album was even better than the last efforts of Whitney and Mariah. I also noticed Céline had a top 5 hit at the time in the US with a song called If You Asked Me To. All this made me curious to listen to a whole album, so I went to the shops and asked if I could listen to the 'celine dion' cd. I fell in love with the album right there, I bought it and the rest is history.

You'll never see the courage i know. It's colours richness won't appear within your view. I'll never glow the way that you glow. Your presence dominates the judgements made on you.

 

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights. The shades and shadow undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and strech, I see from greater heights. I understand what I am still too proud to mention to you.

 

You'll say you understand. But you don't understand. You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye. But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie.

 

You'll never touch the things that I hold. The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own. You'll never feel the heat of this soul. My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown.

 

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights. The shades and shadows undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and strech, I see from greater heights. I realize what i am now too smart to mention to you.

 

You'll say you understand. You'll never understand. I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why. I don't know what to believe in. You don't know who I am. You'll say I need appeasing when i start to cry. But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie.

I was born in the mid 1980's, so I was a young little boy when Beauty and the Beast came out. I remember falling in love with that strong voice. I remember my aunt saying that she worked with David Foster who had worked with Barbra Streisand (who I loved).

 

I also remember my parents having the "Sleepless In Seattle" soundtrack in their car and a compilation with "Where Does My Heart Beat Now." I loved her voice!

 

It wasn't till 1996 that I became a full-fan. I was old enough by then.

I was about over 6 years old when i first heard about Celine Dion Cause of the Titanic movie and at school my friends use to sing My Heart Will Go On At break times but i wasn't really into music then but i loved the titanic film still do.

 

I started to listen to music in my teens and i listened to Celine Dion and i think shes amazing a person, shes polite and she has a fantastic singing voice.

Since then i did some research about her and her albums she did in the past its just amazing.

I found out about Celine when my father heard TT on the radion (it went to number 1 in Holland), he bought the album and since then I've been following Celine. I was 14 at the time :D.
