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.
My Love
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The endless confession, the rise and fall
As fragile as a child
But lately, I'm sorry I can't hold a smile
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know that I would see you through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I must've made it clear right from the start
My love, can you give me strength?
Somehow I forgot how to ease my pain
I know I'm right where I belong
Something from nothing never proved me wrong
But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know I take the time for you? (Did you know?)
Did you know that I would see you through? (Did you know?)
Did you know that I would play the part? (Did you know?)
I must've made it clear right from the start
I would share my whole life with you
Would you do the same for me?
And I would give all I am to you
Would you do the same for me?
And I will stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Could you see I've been brave?
Did you notice all my mistakes?
There were times I could feel you read my mind
Did you know I take the time for you?
Did you know that I could see right through?
Did you know that I would play the part?
I know I made it clear right from the start

We have experienced everything together
The endless confession, the rise and fall
We shared our deepest secrets and went through ups and downs

She’s only 55. She’s hopefully got a couple decades or more. If she doesn’t… then just like she said at the Grammy’s… don’t take t for granted.
