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.
Nobody’s Watching
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With everything politically correct
Just wanna lock myself away, leave me alone
Gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone
I wanna sit like nobody's listening
I wanna talk like nobody cares
I wanna party like a believer
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody's watching)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody's watching)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching
Nobody
(Nobody)
Too much information in my head
I need to disconnect, I'm in the red
Just wanna get my body right back in the zone
Gonna lay it all out on my hairbrush microphone
I wanna sit like nobody's listening
I wanna talk like nobody cares
I wanna party like a believer
I wanna wear whatever I wear
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (hey)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching (nobody's watching)
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching
I wanna dance like nobody's watching
I wanna dance like nobody's watching, nobody's watching
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching, nobody's watching
I wanna dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching

In this song, Celine Dion expresses her weariness with being told what to do and how to act by society. She is tired of everything being “politically correct” and wants to escape from it all. She dreams of being able to let go and be free of judgment, dancing and singing her heart out without any cares. The underlying message of the song is about being true to oneself even when people are watching. The chorus perfectly encapsulates this message, as Celine sings repeatedly about how she wants to dance and live like nobody’s watching.
The idea of dancing like nobody’s watching is a common phrase that encourages people to let go of their inhibitions and not worry about what others think. Celine takes this idea and twists it into a statement of defiance against societal expectations. Her desire to dance and sing without judgment is a refusal to be bound by society’s demands and expectations.
This song is about personal freedom and self-expression. It is about being yourself, even when it may not conform to societal norms. The message is that it is important to live life on your terms and not worry about what others think. Ultimately, this song encourages listeners to dance, have fun, and be free.
