    remember how celine stepped forward during the divas live show in 1998 and competed as the only one against aretha, and aretha respected her and said "good girl of mine". it became full circle now as she is the only one of the 90s divas that still could pay an appropriate tribute to the queen of soul.

      She tried to do a live vocal copy of Aretha's studio recording of this song...so it's basically an attempted imitation. Only makes me want to listen to Aretha sing it.

      So often, it is our shared pain which unites us. Have you noticed that it's usually those ppl who haven't had to struggle that are the ones that lack empathy? There are exceptions to every rule, but:
      It's often the rich ...who are greedy, the healthy...who lack compassion for the sick, the privileged ...who don't want to hear the "excuses" of the oppressed. There's an old proverb: *There is wisdom in the house of sorrow* The "change that's gonna to come" is a change of our hearts and minds.

      @@ch_aldan Celine Dion was number 14 a super large and modest family but it seems there was love and care but life was tough in Charlemagne, Quebec. School was not a kind place. She may joke about it today because she was determined to become a professional singer from a very young age, but she was bullied at school. She had crooked teeth until her adulthood, she was very skinny with very dark eyebrows. Other kids called her "vampire" or "canine Celine". Yet, she was as sweet as a pie but as a true fighter she wanted to become an international singer from the age of five. She not only developed exceptional vocal agility and range, she has natural discipline and adaptability to different musical genres in both French and English, and exceptional resolve to conquer. She could have been born to sing gospel and soul whatever the colour of her skin. She has developed an incredible ability for ad libs and improvisation and by god she can sing. Try to keep it up every day of the week at the top over a 40 year of a singing career, it seems impossible is not Celine. Anyway, what a better tribute to soul music can you give? The way the audience react they know she nailed it.

      Celine embodies music. Her voice is an instrument. No matter what genre she can adapt her voice to match it. She doesn't care about her facial expressions or how she may look doing things, she does what she wants to do to convey the music whatever style it may be. She's not self conscious about her image like Mariah would be; she can do vocal effects mimicking instruments and that requires weird facial expressions sometimes.

    21 years ago, the Queen of Soul asked Celine to sing "HIGHER" at 1998 Divas Live. Celine was being extremely "DISRESPECTFUL" (quoted from someone saying that numerous times) to sing the same key to the Queen.
    21 years later, the Queen personally invited Celine to pay tribute for her and Celine was finally singing a "HIGHER" note (G#5) at the end of the song with her own riffs and runs to show "RESPECT" to the Queen.

    Celine Dion is one singer who respects all artists especially "Aretha Franklin" and a great admirer of "Whitney Houston" when she sang at the Grammy's she was in the back looking at the TV monitor as an astonished child looking at Whitney which was amazing in her singing at that moment. Everyone there was also watching Celine watching Whitney was amazed that this singer loved Whitney for her style and incredible vocals.

      You are spot-on, you can see she has listened to Arethas version of this a thousand times, every lick and belt is almost identical. Those super-fast runs and belts are very similar to the Queen in her prime, plus her tone and pitch. Celine is one of the only people who can sing anything like the Queen, all of the others, Hudsons etc.., sound nothing like Aretha. Celine should be playing Aretha in the upcoming movie, not Hudson.

    cèline is able to mix all of her perfect vocal skills with real raw emotions and you can really feel that she was feeling every single word she was singing and that she puts all of her heart into the song.
    she showed everyone she's still able to reach some real high notes and i think there were no more perfects singers to make a tribute to Aretha but Cèline .
    she's a pure hearted woman, always grounded and humble,polite and kind to everyone and i love her so much.
    i just wish that she'll be fine soon because i don't want her to feel any pain and i hope that she'll be able to perform again because i suppose it is one of the things that makes her feel more alive and full of joy in heart.(obviously, apart from her family )

    And then she does this.
