Celine Dion and recent comparison with Adele


Recommended Posts

Posted
Well even a 15 year old could talk about stuff from when he/was young... It's all relative... :-D

Celine sang "When I was young, I never needed anyone" at 28 (well 27 when she recorded it) :whistling:

They're such different artists with various similarities. The irony. I hate when people bash Adele, just as much as we hate when those criticize Celine. Like stfu and give it up already. Comparing Adele signing MHWGO is like Celine singing Someone Like You. A planet can sing that song but yet it resonates with Adele.

Exactly! :)

 

 

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:

It is not a matter of Celine singing it better. Adele has a specific voice that makes it sound so special. Her voice sounds like a dark woman's voice from the 50s just as Amy winehouse and Duffy had their specific sound. It is not a matter of who hits the high notes better. Adele is adele and Celine is Celine. Rolling in the deep from Celine is like hearing a very expensive singer doing karaoke. Everyone already knows how Adele's version sounds. No matter how good Celine sings..it cannot top Adele's hitsong.

I'm so over the comparison. They are two different artists and nothing alike in my opinion.

Right, and the only thing being compared by the critics is the gigantic success that Celine had with FIY and the follow up album, LTAL. Adele had similar releases in terms of spacing of albums and success. I don't think people are comparing their singing voices, because it's so clearly obvious that it's Celine who has the far superior set of pipes!

I don’t even know why Celine bothered to cover RITD. I thought it was a bizarre move to cover a song still on the charts by a newbie singer. It was like Celine was going a step down IMO. She only managed to give Adele more exposure.

She covered the song because she likes the song and more importantly she adores Adele, simple!

Where was Rene to advise against it, not exactly the best decision. Thankfully it's been dropped. :clap: lol

 

Least it had a bit more get up and go to the song, compared to a lot of the other random covers she's included previously! 😂 I'd take RITD over many others that have graced her show lol

Oh my, you hate Adele so much, you just make no sense. Celine liked the song, she sang it and had fun with it. It was not a bad decision, in the sense people did not complain about it.

And what, she gave Adele more exposure? LOL. Adele did not need that. No one except on this forum remembers Celine sang it.

When an artist like Adele comes along, it makes a lot the fans of "The Divas" get a bit jealous. The difference with Adele is that she is smashing records just like Celine, Mariah, and Whitney did back in the 90s.

 

Us Celine fans should take a note from Celine and embrace newer talent. (Granted, I've been Adele's fan for 8 years now! Chasing Pavements came out in 2007, right? Followed by her 19 album in 2008.) I always love how Celine is such a supporter of artists she admires. That shows how confident she is in her own status and talent. Unlike some other Divas -- like Christina and Mariah -- who get jealous and insecure and that manifests in the kinds of fans who follow their music. (For the record: I like both Christina and Mariah. Especially Mariah -- back in the day, she was unbelievably talented.)

 

I tried to buy Adele tickets -- but they sold out in minutes. So it didn't happen! I'm very happy for her success. She is very humble and that always reminds me of Celine. It's not just about Adele's voice. It's about her overall intrigue and artistry. Her voice isn't the sort of Olympian voice that Celine has. But she has a voice with so much character. And her songs are powerful. :)

Lol no it didn't give adele more exposure. She was on her break / starting to work on this latest album at the time.

I'm not the biggest adele fan, but if Céline was gonna sing one of her songs I'm glad she picked this one. I was expecting Someone Like You.

Sorry but Adele's voice doesn't sound special to me. It's simple, Celine's voice is like honey to my ears whereas Adele's voice is like chalkboard scraping. Edited by GoldenLeaf

When I heard Audra Mae and one English singer that I can't remember her name I thought they are Adele's Voice. I'm not talking about good or bad, it's just her Voice it's not the one and only.

I used to have a copy...though I don't think it was a US copy. Maybe international or something

I hope Celine will do Adele' s "Hello" cover in Vegas or during the tour :) I am not sure what comparisons have been made, but I don't see very many. Celine had a different start, background, vocals. Adele writes songs, she is singing in a different realty compared to late 80s. Adele is big now as it is her time as she stands out with vocals and great songs among the current crowd. Celine is an icon now :) As far as, All I ask song goes, please, the whole song and I'd say, the whole album screams Mariah Carey!!! I can see Mariah just nailing that song, especially in 90s.

When reading what Adele says in Time magazine, she's basically the same the things Celine says: staying down to earth, not spoiling the kids, wanting to be a mom above everything.... she just says it in a more sazzy way -_-

 

Which makes her cool and Celine boring for the media I suppose :rolleyes:

She is CELINE DION.. she does not have to sing a relevant hitsong by a Adele, who is popular at this moment , to lift on that succes. Because that ain't gonna happen; Celine already has earned her status. Adele is on her way to become a great singer too. But time will tell. And Celine does not need to do that either. She has a very extensive repertoire with lots of songs to blow anyone away,

Exactly!!! Celine has probably one of the biggest back catalogues known in the industry yet the concerts always revolve around the same 30 or so songs. Even when we get a "new" song it's generally one that's been performed before. An example being Immortality being re-added to the Vegas show or River Deep Mountain High being added into A New Day...

 

Celine (and her team) need to have confidence in the material that took her to the top and believe that people want to hear her singing it. Unless they try it they'll never know!

Exactly! So the question is.....WHY on earth don't they!!! So frustrating at times! I guess that's what I would ask Aldo or her team or her if I ever got the chance. Edited by DionFanAlways
