Celine Dion and recent comparison with Adele

January 2, 2016 at 12:59 PM

Resolution for 2016 : Céline please STOP covering Adele songs!!! This is too much... and now many people on YouTube compare Céline's raw version to Adele's studio version... and obviousy think Adele has a better voice. :wacko:

Céline is getting a lot of press coverage out of this but I don't see it as positive for her legend status. Just sing one of your old songs to surprise fans, not Adele's... :rolleyes:

Lol at you being scared lol. As we said before, there are songs for Adele, songs for Celine. Adele's voice is deeper, more resonant on the high notes. Doesn't mean she's better.

If Celine sang it in the 1990s and didn't make it better than Adele, it probably would have bad for her. Now it's all good, no matter what some people think. Celine's a legend, she handled it great with that little speech in the beginning. In fact, I like it very much. It's not better than Adele's studio or live versions, but I like it.

A lot of websites mentioned Celine covering Hello. She's getting good reviews everywhere!

it comes viral

2016 is going to be a good year.
How do we know? Because we're mere hours in, and already we have this video of vocal superstar Celine Dion covering vocal superstar Adele's hit "Hello."
Dion sang the tune during her New Year's Eve concert in Las Vegas, and of course the crowd was delighted as soon as they heard that the cover would be taking place. (Dion immediately managed expectations by informing them that Adele herself wasn't in the building.)

This isn't the first time Dion has sung some Adele; she previously
on "Rolling in the Deep."
Say hello to Dion's cover below. Now all we need is Adele's version of "My Heart Will Go On" at some point this year. Please?

"I would like Adele to be a part of our New Year's Eve," Dion told her fans. "Don't panic. She is not in the building," she added, prior to noting that her cover of "Hello" is just for fun.

Dion went on to deliver a spell-binding, piano-driven rendition of "Hello," as a New Year's Eve gift. Towards the end of her performance, Dion altered the lyrics to wish her fans a "Happy New Year.

Adele does not have a more resonant voice especially on high notes. Stop deluding yourself and spewing these inaccuracies here. You have done that before.

we live in a terrifying world where Celine can do about everything without thinking about the consequences... :giggle:

January 2, 2016 at 08:26 PM

Lol. So many excuses on this forum. On the AMA the High definition was too high def, so it was best to listen to the raw recordings. Here the quality is too low.

There's tons of phone recordings of Adele and she still sounds great. That's just how Celine's voice is right now. And it's still good.

And no, Celine's voice is not well known for being resonant. You cannot be nasal and resonant. Which is completely fine. Too much resonance means less emotion to me.

Hello is a song for Adele. Celine can definitely make it better, by bringing the song to her universe, adapting it to her great voice. Not by karaoking Adele. Which is why her version is fine for me. I didn't expect much better

You're begging Celine to stop covering Adele. You don't see it a positive thing for her legend status. How would you call it then? Concerned?

In my opinion this kind of discussion is nonsensical: Comparing the colour of one voice with the other is extremely subjective..as particular as any matter of taste. (Whereas discussions on technique, range and that kind of stuff would be more interesting I would say.)

However, Celine (fanboy modus: ) has the rare gift of altering colour, while remaining honest to her character as a singer...She is not 'just' a talented singer with an interesting, distinctive and deep voice - like Adele obviously - she is a master interpreter. .. though not an impersonator like Veronique Dicaire..

Anyway, so, maybe Hello didn't add much to the version we are already overwhelmed with; she has proven once again she can animate such a song (with piano only by the way) and remain credible.

LOL @ Celine not being know for her resonance. In this clip she sustains a D5 note (3:27) with proper support and placement. Adele? Cause you said she is more resoanant in high notes, show me one clip of Adele singing this note in fuller voice than Celine. Or a note above that for that matter.

That was a long time ago. And Celine has her own special way of reaching resonance: she needs a big note close to her limits, reach it singing her lungs out and sustain it. Plus she doesn't use tons of resonance that often to be honest. In her ABM big note, TPOL studio version, there's not much resonance. And I wouldn't want the ABM note with resonance, because that would make the note emotionless.

And no Adele cannot do it. There's no point comparing. I'm just saying they're different, they have their own strengths. Hello is a versatile song, going from a low register to a mid-ranged one with resonance quickly and with versatility and modulation, which Mariah would probably do effortless. It's just not where Celine is at her best. And it's completely fine. Adele would look completely useless singing Celine's songs, we agree on that. I'm just saying she can also do stuff that Celine can't. She has her signature voice that makes her songs great, however shitty some people think she is.

I cannot agree with you on the part of the analyses stating that Celine did not make this song her own. Listening to her diction only refutes that point (for the record: it is far more clear than Adele's). Besides, she free styled on the lyrics, which in the end raveled Scott Price (it was him right?) a bit.

Have you listened to the extended notes at the end of the chorus phrases? These were less pinched than in Adele's live performances.

And though the tempo was a bit too fast for my taste, she definitely put more flow in the phrases, culminating more naturally in the little belts.

I love how your comments go back and forth. You say that Adele cannot do it while you clearly stated before that she is more resonant than Celine in high notes. Judging by the way you articulate I see you have no clue what you are talking about since you think resonance is something one can use or not. It is not a singing tool. TPOL is one of the songs that show Celine at her best.

I highly suggest you take a new listen to the following songs: Us, When I Need You, Why Oh Why, La Memoire D'Abraham, Tous Les Blues Sont Ecrits Pour Toi... You get soft verses quickly transcending into bombastic mid-range vocals. The agility and power are all there.

So please, in studio Hello would be like drinking water for Celine. Even live she could have nailed, it was just a bad day.

LOL if only...well, anyways, Hello. I think some people will just stop greeting with Hello. Celine must be singing this song at home all the time. :-D

I think, next cover should be Sia' s Alive. I feel so proud to be the first one ( to my knowledge) in this forum to wish hear Celine covering Hello :giggle: Considering, she did the song "for fun" and it was obvious she just rehearsed it a few times and the lyrics were on the screen, accompanied by only a piano, it was pretty good, but I wish she did that Anymore note :sofunny: I think after that song she starts All by myself though

If better rehearsed and if she sang the chorus like it should be she easily sing the song. She tried to give some own twist to it. That failed. It sounded odd and maybe because she did not hear the piano well she was pitchy.

Intended as a gift but next time think that everyone has a cellphone nowadays and your gift and pitch problems are easily to be found on youtube.

'Think twice' Celine before doing such a current song..

Pipes neither.
But the records she's breaking kind of do. Recognition by her peers does too: you should look on Youtube how many celebrities love Adele. I've never seen that for anyone ever. She's just too young to be considered a legend yet.

Even Celine cannot hide her love for her. What do you think of Celine's cover of Hello?

Since when do pipes not equate Legendary status. If not for the pipes then what!

Your non-sensical posts drive people insane. :blink:

Yep, her team needs to advise her better, and not just agree to everything she wants to do on a whim. :cry:

Could we please stop (or lessen) these ad hominems?

Dismissing someone as a fan, perhaps unqualified to participate in the discussion is not really constructive.

Moreover, having diverse opinions, even opinions that seem ridiculous to (some) other, is completely sane for any discussion forum.

On the other hand, I'd rather have her do tricks like these than repeating the same auto synced medleys (so playing safe) for another 10 years.

It can actually be a singing tool. If you listen to TPOL Live in Japan, you'll notice that she actually decided to use more resonance there on the notes compared to the studio version or other lives. In the ABM big note at the Grammys, she switches in the middle to more resonance, because she was at her limit and improvised making the note a little lower and different.

And yeah Adele does not have Celine's range, so if that's the loophole you find in my reasoning, then be it.

And please, I don't think a lot of people know more about Celine's discography than me, even on this forum. She's the greatest voice ever to me. It doesn't prevent me from appreciating Mariah, Whitney or loving Adele, and saying that Hello is not a song for Celine, if she sings it the way Adele does. I just cannot imagine Celine singing 'from the other side' with the same depth as Adele.

That being said, as a fan, I really enjoy seeing her having fun singing Hello. And no it's not going to ruin her career.

These were more jabs about some people here, not Celine. Go to the AMA's topic, you'll see people telling you that NBC's High Def was too high def and one should listen to the raw footage. And here people are saying that the raw footages diminish Celine's voice on Hello. Why can't we just accept Celine's voice as it is?...

Madonna is a legend, right? And you don't need a 3-octave range to have a great voice, in my opinion.

what do you mean by Depth exactly? Adele is an infant if you compare with Celine. If you mean that Adele has a bigger lower voice, ok.
