Celine Dion covering Adele

[Georgina]

Btw, color has nothing to do with having soul...

:D Thank you for mentioning. There were always doubts... you know, about women, Indians, animals are still without it even today... ;) Now we cleared out the color question. :D

It´s a real nice cover by Celine. I am not a huge fan of her but she has an amazing voice and she really can sing live.

Here is the complete version:



Like it, but after listening to the whole piece I must say Adele is the real thing each time. :)

Celine does have a beautiful voice but RITD with her accent just isn't right, sorry.

Would you say that if Adele was American?

Celine made it her own; yes it's Adele's song; but the fact it has been touched by so many people. And I bet many people thought Adele was Ameican, by the way she sang, and shocked she was British. Celine is Candian, but is half french, hence the accent.

Would you say that if Adele was American?

Yes I would since IMHO it's the French/Canadian accent that I don't think suits the song (actually probably any accent would sound odd to me with this song). What I'm saying is it just sounds weird to me.

Once again, IMHO, I think Celine has done her version but I wouldn't say she's made it her own or in fact owned it in any way.
I've always been keenly aware that Adele is British and that Celine is French/ Canadian and maybe it's because it's late at night here and I've had a long day but I'm just not seeing your point.

This version just ain't right.

So that means the British accent also, guys everyone has different accents, do we have a go at Adele for covering a American song because she doesn't have a American accent? The way it's sung, originality is much more important than accents. I know many thought Adele was American; by the way she sang, but was shocked she was British. In Adeles, you can sometimes hear the accent come out. I don't say I don't like that song because it's sung in that accent. I listen to a lot of Gaelic music, and you can hear the Irish/Scottish/Welsh/Cornish accent come out in a song. Do we have a go at Maire Brennan for her accent on Chicane's Saltwater, because she's Irish? No. It was her voice that made that song popular. When I listen to music, Celtic, Christian, Country, I rather listen and be inspired by the words/emotions then accents. Next thing; you be having a go at Adele for doing a song, where parts is sung in another language. True; she may/may not know any other language, but that's not gonna stop her from trying. Rachel Walker who is a Gaelic singer, and when you hear her sing, it sounds like she Scottish, but was born on the South West UK.

Since I'm still lost, I'd just like to say I tried to be nice and said the Celine has a beautiful voice but ultimately I'm not a fan and I don't like her (IMO) tinny and nasal voice...so yeah, I lied. To simplify my statement even further I don't like Celine's version of RITD as was noted above it's "just ain't right"! And just to stir the pot a little further I wonder if she lip synced RITD like she does for the rest of her concerts:::cough:::
