Legacy of a singer can ONLY be the following things:

 

- Singers who were influenced by the singer's music or singing or performing.

 

- Songs/Albums that passed into the following generation, considered classics. In Celine's case examples of such songs would be MHWGO, BYLM, TPOL, ABM, PQTME.

 

- Some special achievement. In Celine's case, it's the fact that she introduced francophone music into a wider audience. She has been rewarded for this in 2008!

 

- Sales and popularity have nothing to do with legacy.

 

What we need to do is bring information and references that prove Celine's impact, so that we can create a specific ''Legacy'' section in Wikipedia. For example, try to find interviews or articles where singers praise Celine, mention her as an influence etc.

There is a thread in this forum ''Lara Fabian's Letter to Celine''.

 

In this letter she says '' I would follow note by note your musicality, your passion, sung like only your voice can give colors to the harmony.''

I'm sorry but Beyonce's "Legacy" section is bullsh! T IMO something like that can easily be written about Céline too...

 

How many times did MHWGO got called best soundtrack song.... Time magazine called her the leading Diva in 1996... all the high Canadian and French achivements like Legioen de Honneur... so many artists saying the love her or listening to her while growing up etc...

 

IMO you can't really say what someone's legacy is... untill they have passed away. And even then it's still a matter of years untill you can truely conclude what the legacy precisely is!

Nobody praised Beyonce here. :P However, her fans cared enough to make her a section and half of things posted there are valid and prove her impact.

 

If you can bring interviews/articles of singers saying they were inspired by Celine, you'll help a lot. :) We are trying to see what her legacy is SO FAR..!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regine_Velasquez

 

It says Regine held a series of concerts singing songs from singers who have influenced her career and Celine songs were included.

 

It a known fact Regine loves Whitney/Mariah/Celine, she has been copying their songs note-to-note in tons of her perfomances. :P

Love all your posts Luke this morning! :) I think it's just because Celine is not a 'in your face' type of person that she sometimes doesn't get mentioned/thought of by the mainstream public ? Edited by DionFanAlways

This is an important point... cos when Céline was up and coming and on the highest of her popularity (and the time she was praised a lot in the media) there was no such thing as internet let alone Wikipedia! Fans were never busy with copy and pasting everthing on a single page. Now it would be harder to find all the sources.... unlike Beyonce cos most of her praise is digital.

 

Céline should have a legacy part tho. She might never been controversial or reinventing but her place and influences in the pop history should not be denied!

- Some special achievement. In Celine's case, it's the fact that she introduced francophone music into a wider audience. She has been rewarded for this in 2008!

 

- Sales and popularity have nothing to do with legacy. What about concerts?

Timbaland praising Celine :

 

As well as creating new sounds for Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, Timbaland is set to do the same for megastar Céline Dion. When asked about working on Céline’s new album, the producer tells Elle Magazine, “Céline has such a beautiful, mesmerizing voice. She is so talented. I think we could create something that is a classic like she is already." (08.08.07)

I mentioned ''performing'' above, I guess this is what you mean by ''concerts''.

 

A ''classic'' song: A song that is known in the following generations, covered by numerous artists. NOT fan-favorites, but songs that scream ''CELINE DION'' to the public. :P

Thank you comingback for sharing this video. These four minutes standing ovation shows how great Diva Celine is.

If only she gave us a chance and did not run away so soon after the encore songs on the concerts, then we would stand there a couple of hours and clapped, cheered, as long as she deserves. :worthy: :happy: (Until we fainted from exhaustion ... :rip1: )
