Top 10 Vocal Performances

[squirebuffy]

This would be my list:

 

 

1. To Love You More - EPIC EPIC EPIC the vocal runs at the end are just stupidly good.

 

2. All By Myself - crazy powerful and love the climax

 

3. With This Tear - the belting and vocal runs are full of anguish to match the lyrics

 

4. Its All Coming Back To Me Now - simply epic

 

5. Seduces Me - very sexy and the top chest belt is lovely

 

6. The Power Of Love - passionate love the end note

 

7. I Want You To Need Me - Sexy and powerful i like the vocal runs

 

8. I Surrender - EPIC

 

9. Think Twice - very very soulful

 

10. The Reason - Very creative arrangement and full of eneregy

 

 

Thoughts? Opinions?

[Tyler1991]

Seduces Me is the only one that doesn't really belong. The rest I agree with, though I probably wouldn't put IACBTMN so high on the list. In terms of difficulty, Declaration Of Love is a reeeally hard song to sing - while no particular note is jawdropping, the whole song is in a really high key. Le Blues Du Businessman should be on this list as well. I'd even consider The Power Of The Dream. New Dawn should be on here to, it's incredibly underrated.

[Bell]

I agree with both of you. I think that her 1993 (or 1994, not sure) live performance of 'Can't Help Falling In Love' must be on the list.

[Celine Fan 77]

Alright, so this would be my personal list:

 

 

1. Declaration Of Love,

2. I Want You To Need Me

3. I Surrender

4. Then You Look At Me

5. Sola Otra Vez

6. Le Blues Du Businessman

7. Is Nothing Sacred (Anymore)

8. (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman

9. O Holy Night

10. Make You Happy

 

 

Gosh, I never though it would be that hard to make such a list. I decided to include DOL in first place because, just like Tyler said, it's a song that's very high all the time and has some nice belts and not many pauses for Celine's voice to rest during the song.

I included SOV instead of All By Myself because it was clearly harder for Celine to record the Spanish version than the original one in English because of the pronunciation and the fact that it's a language that is still unknown for her nowadays.

INS(A) is probably one of the hardest songs she has ever recorded; the second half of the song is quite something. It features incredibly high notes and she goes through them without any difficulties (at least that is what it looks like).

Finally, MYH has some nice high notes as well, specially during the second half, near the end of the performance.

The most demanding song she's ever sung is either All By Myself or Is Nothing Sacred.

 

The latter is absolutely mindblowing. And I have YET to come across any song as difficult.

[Celine Fan 77]

Some of the songs I considered to include in the list were Priere Paienne, The Reason I Go On, Map To My Heart, Just Walk Away and Just a Little Bit Of Love, which is uptempo but at the same time quite demanding vocally.

7 (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman

8 Sorry For Love

9 The Reason

10 I Can't Help Falling In Love from The Colour Of My Love Concert

 

[Tyler1991]

River Deep, Mountain High and Love Can Move Mountains are actually really difficult when sang properly. It's a shame they're both butchered now though.

[celinesounds]

1. Then you look at me

2. I Want You to Need Me

3. The Power of love

4. All By myself

5. Think Twice

6. Where does my heart beat now

7. It's all coming back to me now

8. Sorry For Love

9. I Surrender

10. Le blues du businessman

[Celine Fan 77]

Don't forget that the long belt in Sorry For Love was edited; Celine didn't hold the note for such a long time.

[PatrickDion22]

[JasonFromTheMoon]

I would pick up the whole "D'Eux" album on first place, because to me it's her biggest studio effort to date exclusively on vocal basis.

 

Among others:

02. Only One Road

03. Where Is The Love (it includes some specific notes never heard before and after)

04. Love Is On The Way

05. The Reason

06. New Dawn

07. Tous Les Blues Sont Ecrits Pour Toi

08. Live

09. With This Tear

10. Le Blues De Businessman
