Born to a large impoverished family, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.
Can't Fight the Feelin'
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling kinda strange
I don't know what it is
But I like the change
That comes over me
Whenever he's around
It's as if my feet
Don't even touch the ground
'Cause when I'm feeling down
He's there to pick me up
And when I talk too much
He doesn't interrupt
Let me tell you there's no better guy
This is how it makes me feel inside
I wanna dance (dance), mm
I wanna play (play)
Well can you hear my heartbeat (boom boom)
A million miles away?
He won't stop (stop), no no
'Til I drop (drop), yeah
And every day and night he tells me
I'm so special that he never could give me up
I'm hooked on a feeling
A natural high
You better believe it
And the reason why
It's a thing called love
It makes me feel so alive
And I can't fight the feeling
Somebody told me once
You only get one chance
So live your life
And do the best you can
Once a day goes by
You never get it back
So live every minute
Like it was your last
And just dance (dance), mm
Come on play (play)
And tell somebody you love them (I love you)
At least once a day
And don't stop (stop)
'Til you drop (drop)
I didn't know that one day someone so special
Would come along to steal my heart
I'm hooked on a feeling
A natural high
You better believe it
And the reason why
It's a thing called love
It makes me feel so alive, yeah
Love, love, love
And John Lennon said
That was all you need
If you taste it once
It won't be enough
I'm hooked on a feeling
A natural high
You better believe it
And the reason why
It's a thing called love
It makes me feel so alive
And I can't fight the feeling
(Can't fight, can't fight)
Can't fight the feeling
I said, no, can't, can't, can't
Can't fight the feeling
Can't fight, oh! (Oh, oh, oh)
You better believe it (oh, oh, oh)
You better believe it (oh, oh, oh)
