2. That is a question beyond my comprehension
that will never be answered. Caterwauling has made her a very rich woman.

8. No clue
I'm not the only one up here to despise her - I thought it was the same deal as hockey, but thank bog it's not. :D

12. There is one song of hers that I like...
And that might be because I didn't know it was her when I first heard it.

I actually love this song...but, I'm kinda sappy like that.

Falling into You

31. She does do that song well.
Very well.

Again I will say, the lady has some major pipes. She can definitely sing, but her music is just eh.

22. To each their own
Don't like her, don't listen. Don't knock who I listen to, I won't knock who you listen to.

24. A lot of middle aged women that like to think they like "good music"...
... and "talented vocalists" like her.

She hits the notes, but they're just not there, know what I mean?

28. When she first had that blond hairdo there was a vanity fair article about her. The author said "
Celine Dion looks good for a woman twice her age" (or something like that). She looks much better with longer less blond hair I will say. And she has talent. But I don't like her choice of songs though I would go to see her perform live. I love Divas.

32. She has a powerful voice, and sings very commercial music, well-produced.
She just finished a gig in Vegas that lasted YEARS.

The kind of people that go to Las Vegas love her, obviously.

33. I can't. She does absolutely nothing for me.
I don't care for her voice at all, and she's way too diva for my taste.
