Celine: The Vocal Athlete

[D.V.]

 

I’m often asked why I love Celine so much, and beyond all the obvious reasons, there’s something about her that has always reminded me of an athlete. If I allow myself to get completely absorbed in her singing, I can find myself holding my breath without even realizing it.

It’s not just the tone or quality of her voice-it’s the power, control, endurance, and all the little things she does to push her instrument. There’s an athleticism to the way she sings that goes beyond simply being a great singer. It’s almost as though I’m watching an athlete perform at the absolute limit of their ability, and I get completely caught up in it.

And “Us” is, to me, the perfect example of that. I genuinely don’t think there’s a better song in her repertoire. If I had to choose one song to describe Celine Dion-the voice, the technique, the power, the emotion, and that almost physical determination behind the singing-it would be this one.

Someone did an incredible job isolating her vocals on “Us,” and honestly, this is Celine Dion at her absolute best. I could listen to it on repeat for hours. There’s something about hearing her voice this exposed that makes all of the power, control, emotion, and sheer physicality of her singing even more apparent.

I can't think of anyone else in human history sings the same way that Céline sings...

It's not only about her voice,it's her way of singing... she's just so...free...

I think her singing is artistry in its purest form and of its highest level.

There's only one word to describe it:  DIVINE !

On me demande souvent pourquoi j'aime autant Céline, et au-delà des raisons évidentes, il y a chez elle quelque chose qui m'a toujours fait penser à une athlète. Si je me laisse complètement absorber par sa voix, je peux me surprendre à retenir mon souffle sans même m'en rendre compte.

Ce n'est pas seulement le timbre ou la qualité de sa voix, c'est la puissance, la maîtrise, l'endurance et tous les petits détails qu'elle fait pour repousser les limites de son instrument. Il y a une dimension athlétique dans sa façon de chanter qui dépasse le simple fait d'être une grande chanteuse. C'est presque comme si j'assistais à une performance d'un athlète repoussant ses limites, et je suis complètement captivé.

Et « Us » en est, à mes yeux, l'exemple parfait. Je suis convaincu qu'il n'existe pas de meilleure chanson dans son répertoire. Si je devais choisir une seule chanson pour décrire Céline Dion – sa voix, sa technique, sa puissance, l'émotion et cette détermination presque physique qui anime son chant – ce serait celle-ci.

Quelqu'un a fait un travail incroyable en isolant sa voix sur « Us », et honnêtement, c'est Céline Dion à son apogée. Je pourrais l'écouter en boucle pendant des heures. Entendre sa voix ainsi mise en valeur rend toute la puissance, la maîtrise, l'émotion et la physicalité de son chant encore plus évidentes.

I really love her vocals especially during her early years of English career. I often rewatched her performances during the Unison and Celine Dion eras and I love how she tackled every song she sang that time, like that performance of Have A Heart from her 1991 concert or that piano performance of Nothing Broken But My Heart from late 1992. 

Anyway, I personally think that she has always been consistent when it comes to serving vocals. Ever since her early years to the recent times, she nailed the songs she sang. Less than a month to her stage return and I can't wait for it!
