Celine Dion, originally from Canada, is one of the most famous female artists of all time. Recording both English and French albums, her songs constantly hit the Top 40 charts. Millions of her albums sell out, on a regular basis, across world.
While headlining in Las Vegas, nearly every performance was sold out. Her talent, and magical vocals, has captured the hearts of many adoring fans. She puts on a show that not only speaks to your soul, but also entertains your visual senses. The costumes are phenomenal and choreography is unspeakably impressive. The combination of her moving vocals and the performance that she so passionately displays, continually captures the attention of new and existing fans.
Celine Dion was born in March of 1968 in Quebec, Canada; she had 13 siblings; and began writing her own songs by the time she was 12 years of age. Her mother and brother produced a home recording of Celine performing her very first song. Celine's brother was so moved by the performance that he mailed it to Rene Angelil, a name he got off one of the records they had at home.
After witnessing such an angelic performance, Renee Agelil promised to help Celine make a name for herself. He produced her first two albums, which happened to be French. By the age of 15, Celine was presented with the French gold record.
In order for Celine to move forward, with her career, she needed to undergo a makeover. During this time she attended school to learn English, in order to enter into the American Market. In 1988 Celine was on tour in Europe. During this time, her and Angelil fell in love, but feared the consequences of a relationship. Surprisingly, Celine's fans supported her and nothing but joy came from her relationship with Angelil.
At the age of 23 Celine was approached, by Disney, to perform the theme song for "Beauty and the Beast". The following year Celine was awarded with a Grammy and an Oscar for this performance. During this time, her second English album was also released.
In 1997, she had another opportunity of a lifetime, to perform the song "My Heart Will Go On" for the soundtrack to the movie "Titanic". With Celine's range of octaves, that she so eloquently hits, this was another opportunity for her to share her magical vocal talent with the world.
In 1999 Celine's husband, Angelil (married in 1994), was treated for cancer. Celine took a small sabbatical in order to nurse her husband and help him through this rough time. Just a few years later, in 2001, Celine became a mother of a handsome little boy.
She is currently on tour, which will be ending at some point this year. This tour, known as "Taking Chances", has already hit the charts for one of the top grossing tours of 2008. - 16492
