Celine's version of RITD was so much better too. Anything Adele can do Celine can do better. That's true. Why settle for second best when we can have Celine right. :)

 

It's like talking to a brick wall.

Exactly! Lol I'd love to see her do "When We Were Young" from Adele's new album. The chorus just screams Celine right now.

Noooo please no more Adele covers. Celine doesn't need to do that.

She was Legendary status even before we knew who Adele was.

The only covers she should be doing are covers of other legends like Judy Garland's Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which she does an amazing job btw. :love:

Celine's version of "Rolling In The Deep" was nothing special, in my opinion. Just because she can sing, doesn't mean she sounds amazing on everything she touches. Adele's original will forever be the best.

Exactly. I'd take Adele's RITD any day to Celine's version. RITD has Adele's voice mark all over it. Celine sang all the notes right, but Adele's voice makes it better. I'm sure no-one here ever goes back to listen to Celine's RITD version, and there is no denying RITD is a big hit.

However, I'm sure that if Celine worked a little on the song, and made it suit her voice, then maybe she could have made it differently better.

 

Once again, the quality of a voice is not only about the range or the notes one can hit. MHWGO is magical because it's Celine's voice. So many singers have sung this song, some hit the notes, but no-one made it as good as Celine.

Likewise, Celine's ABM big note is a note that a lot of good and bad singers can hit. Celine and her way of hitting it is what makes that note so special.

I guess each person sees it differently. I used to hate Adele's version of RITD - I'd change the radio station if I heard a couple of notes. Then I heard Celine do it in Vegas and fell in love with it. I'm even able to listen to Adele's version now, bc Celine's version helped me appreciate it.

I agree. I fell in love with Celine singing RITD. I couldn't tolerate Adele's voice. It's husky and suited for country music, like Ashley or Wynona Judd. Anytime I heard Adele's RITD on the radio, I used to change the station immediately. The only difference between me and you is that I still do. :mdr:

The question is not whether you like Adele's voice or not.

I truly believe that even with Celine's voice/celebrity at her best, Rolling In The Deep sung by her (the same way note by note as Adele sings it) would not have had the same success as Adele's version. Simply because RITD is best suited to Adele's voice. The same way MHWGO is for Celine. I just cannot imagine how horrible it would be if Adele sang it.

I prefer Celine's voice and I can freely voice my opinion on whose voice and song versions I prefer. Why can't we all have our own opinions and preferences. Edited by Brandon

Not for me. Celine's live performances of RITD sounded better than Adele's studio album version. No wonder Adele's fans felt threatened and started bashing Celine when her live version leaked online back in 2012. They knew Celine sang it better than Adele but they were too biased to admit it. :giggle:

Like some said above and me...

 

It has NOTHING to do if the song suits a voice, they make it suit the voice...

 

It's all about the name, the age, the hype, whether the song gets airplay and become a big hit.

 

The question is not whether you like Adele's voice or not.

Don't oversimplify everything. Some people here just said they preferred Celine's version of Rolling In The Deep even if she hit the same notes...

Celine sang RITD like drinking water while moving on stage. It was that easy. Adele had to lower the key in like every performance and be static. Enough said.

Adele doesn't have the range / power / breath control to pull off MHWGO. You can not just say MHWGO is ''suited'' to Celine's voice. She is just more of a vocalist. Edited by LukeD

Regine Velasquez can sing any of Celine's song in original key like it's nothing. Does this mean she's better?

 

Celine and Adele have different voices. Adele has some particularities that Celine does not have (the tone, the resonance in high notes), which is completely fine. Celine is the greatest singer ever and does not need that. But Adele is no Taylor Swift when it comes to voice quality.

When it comes to vocalists, Celine is not considered to be the best one, strictly speaking. Yet no-one can sing MHWGO like her, absolutely no-one. That's how MHWGO is suited to her voice. It's not that the notes are too high or too low, it's just a song that shows what she can do, and what she does best.

If what your saying is true.... I'm yet to find another pop artist who can sing like her .... Sorry ... Remotely close in fact

you cannot compare Regine to Céline because of the simple fact that she doesn't have half the vocal power that Celine has.

thank you Kev. No one comes remotely close to Celine. I totally agree. Edited by Brandon

You did not just bring this Karaoke clown as an argument. Regine Velasquez is a screamer with no musicianship whatsoever.

 

Adele has resonance in high notes? Are you kidding me? Celine has far more resonance in high notes and she is always singing higher than Adele.

Lara Fabian, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand could all sing MHWGO cause they are skilled enough. Adele who struggles with the original key of RITD... Not. Edited by LukeD

Are you saying Taylor has a better voice than Adele? My heart may have just stopped.

Billboard recently wrote that her core audience is composed of women aged 25-44, which is mainly Celine's audience. Both have great voices and are belters.

 

It's hard to analyze Adele's success. She's beaking historic records with ballads that would be shunned from radio if they are sung by other artists.

 

What I don't understand is why she sings a song titled "When We Were Young" when she IS young NOW.

 

I haven't heard the album yet. I'm more into other genres right now.

She's a old soul, just like Celine has always been. And that's one of Celine's finest traits in my honest opinion.

I'm only a few years older than Adele and I completely identify with "When We Were Young". I freak out about being in my early 30s on a regular basis. I wish I could stop time. I wish I could have stopped time 10 years ago.
