[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 have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

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!
