[Global Diva] A Collection of Celine Dion’s Greatest and Most Iconic Songs

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

At the Paris 2024 Olympic opening ceremony held on July 26, Céline Dion performed Hymne à l’amour—an astonishing comeback after overcoming illness.

Many were deeply moved by the raw depiction of her battle in the documentary I Am: Céline Dion, which revealed her human strength.

Dion is a singer of innate talent who made her professional debut at the astonishingly young age of 12 and has continued to sing magnificent songs that will go down in music history.

In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of her signature and popular songs, including her early French-language tracks.

It’s a great read for those who first discovered her through the Paris Olympics!
