Well... such Masterpieces shouldn't be "spoiled" by futile attempts. None could ever replicate those, why bother try. Those who do only "diminish" themselves when in fact they are great singers.
Each singer has his/her very own "niche" in the vocal portrait. When professional, their songs are made especially for them according with their voice, tone, and range.
Ann Wilson was a hell of a singer! Nothing comparable with Celine.
I hope Celine will never attempt to sing "The great gig in the sky".
Celine is in an entirely different league than Ann Wilson. Heart was great, but Ann's voice is big, full, and powerful. Celine's voice can thunder with power easily matching Ann's, but can also be soft and delicate, sharp and high, with perfect pitch, tone, and clarity no matter where in her range she is. Celine's a masterclass vocalist. Ann is a rock star.
@Mlowery85 I've always thought Celine should've got a lot more "rock style" songs, even some "classic rock", and "progressive" ones. It would've allowed her to express the entire quality her voice has. These "all-over-the-place-ballads" she has been isolating herself into don't really give credit to her outstanding voice and ability to sing.
No matter what song you can ask Celine to sing she can bring the emotions and peak the highest notes that other divas couldn't hit. That's the real talent. Celine, you're the Queen of all divas in the world!
@JNK173 A song is not like a car just about anyone can sit in and go drive around. A song is like a moulded seat; especially shaped for one and only singer (voice, tone, range). If someone else tries sitting in it, it will never fit right, something will always sound "unfitting", or "inapropriate", uncomfortable in some ways...
@jnyveslbl I don't buy that argument. Some of the most popular pop/rock songs that exist were recorded by different singers than the original. I think there can be certain singers who are less appropriate to cover certain songs, but to say that every song belongs to only one singer...no.
@wickedphant0m If you search trying to find a song that interpretation by a "third-party" (a different singer than who the song was designed for) is better than the version performed by the signer it was writen for, you will have a hard time finding one. In fact, exceptions to that confirms the "rule": the song "Don't Be Cruel", performed by Cheap Trix. However, that version is no match with Elvis's singing!
@jnyveslbl I said popular, because that's more objective than "better". If you go by chart positions and album sales, you can find many versions that were at least as popular as the first. Funny you should mention Elvis though: two of his most iconic songs, "Blue Suede Shoes", and "Hound Dog" are both covers. Also, broadway musicals were responsible for a lot of popular music from the 40s - 60s, often being covered by different singers than the broadway cast and being number 1 hits.
I LOVE Celine Dion and I LOVE Heart, but there is no way in hell that Celine "owned" Ann Wilson. I just saw Heart in concert last night and she sang the fucking rooftop off with this song.
First thing's first, Celine is an amazing singer, but Ann was around the same age when she recorded the song, and she put more emotion into it as she sang it, never, and i mean NEVER, say Celine ownes Ann Wilson, that's a car crash waiting to happen, get it, got it? Good! :)
Celine doesn't "own" Heart, as you put it. She does her own interpretation of this ONE song and it's magnificent, but it is NOT Ann Wilson in her prime. I think she did an amazing job, but for me (and like you, I'm entitled to an opinion) no one will ever sing this song with as much heart (no pun intended) as Ann Wilson.
Please, do not discuss about all the things around the opera and all that stuff, it is very simple: You like what you are listening, or you don't. I really don`t know anything about opera, but what I heard was very beautiful.
OMG! She seems like so much fun. I would be so honored and privileged to work with her. She is amazing. With perfect pitch, dynamic energy, and just awesome. I'd love so much to work with her.
Singing opera and being able to sing opera are two very different things. I admire Dion's talent tremendously but she cannot sing opera at all. Listen to a real opera singer for a comparison. Dion's sound is all strangled in her throat. There wasn't one note of any quality at all. Again, this is not to say she's not talented in her own genre.
@halaluani- no! i think you don't understand! Celine is singing operatic in here with mezzo soprano style..when an operatic singer sings..she is absolutely in soprano style..but in Celine's Case she sing here in mezzo soprano style...she can't sing the same as an operatic singer but she can sing like an operatic..Understand??
@jhonshot23 I was responding to chuzzle84's comment that Dion could sing anything, even opera" It cannot by any stretch of the imagination be called "singing opera" nor can it be called "singing operatically". What it sounds like is a very bad singer. Look at the comment below where MusicAddicted42 says Celine made him/her "like opera". No, she didn't because the noise that came out of her mouth is not opera or anything remotely like it. Sorry, the word opera shouldn't be said w/Celine Dion.
@halaluani- well of course she's not a opera singer..but don't you understand that Celine is just singing Operatic in here..just in this video..yes of course in any stretch of imagination we can't say that Celine is not a Opera singer because her voice doesn't fits the Opera Music..What I'm trying to say is..like in Videoke she's just singing just look-a-like of Opera but she's not..Understand??? But above all..can't afford to sing like an Operatic but in this video she just tried to sing..ok??!
Omg that dudes laught at the end cracked me up he was like hehe woo and then....
