Comment by Andrew Ian Dodge:

No people diss her because she is a rubbish singer. She is also responsible for some of the most annoying English language pop songs of the last few decades.

Comment by J.M. Heinrichs:

It's not that they hate Celine, they idolize Bob Dylan, who is Florence Foster Jenkins carrying a tune.

Except for those who wallow in the transgressive pleasures of punk, gunge, et al. Bring back the buzz pipe.

Cheers

Comment by John B:

A few years ago the CBC radio program The Sunday Edition tackled the question of taste with contributor Robert Harris. The question of Celine of course came up. Harris actually played some of Dion's music in French and it had much more emotion or feeling - not something we hear in English. Harris concluded Dion just couldn't make the leap to English and retain that expression.
