During the height of Dion, most of us were small, na\u00efve, baby angels who held our copies of <em>Falling into You<\/em> and <em>Let\u2019s Talk About Love<\/em> close while we navigated the treacherous world of middle school.<\/p>\n<p>And we couldn\u2019t be blamed: Celine sang the title track to <em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em>. She dominated mainstream radio, and dictated the album collections of our aunts and moms. The year <em>Falling into You<\/em> came out (1996), I was in sixth grade and one of the only girls in my class who hadn\u2019t gotten a copy of the CD yet. Yes, my uncle had bought me the tape for my birthday, but goddamn it, it wasn\u2019t the same: on disc, \u201cIt\u2019s All Coming Back To Me Now\u201d was a seven minute-up ballad that meticulously detailed the rise and fall of a tumultuous relationship. On cassette, it was the four-minute radio edit \u2013 still dramatic and \u201cgrown-up,\u201d but still three minutes short of what I knew to be a testament to the complications of adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>Celine Dion, of course, represented a very specific type of adulthood. Her voice and her lyrics aligned with the other benchmark of being grown (daytime soap operas), and her interpretation of love seemed to promise we too would mature to do whatever we could when the man we liked \u201creached for us.\u201d This was, of course, not the case, and nor was it for any woman I grew up around who had a job or kids or more to do than worry about some guy they were with. But it was glamorous! Exhilarating! And the perfect music to choreography roller blade routines to on the street in front of my house.<\/p>\n<p>But our fixation on Dion, especially in context, makes sense. We may have been children during the rise of Celine, but she mastered an image of a woman who had Big Feelings and who wasn\u2019t afraid to sing using her Even Bigger Voice. Should our schools have let us do lip syncing shows set to \u201cBecause You Loved Me\u201d and \u201cTo Love You More\u201d? Who cares! (A fun fact: in the 1990s, lip syncing to a top 40 song counted as the year\u2019s \u201cmusic project.\u201d) We escaped into an extremely made-for-TV fantasy in which love was the be all, end all, and somewhere in-between.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2.jpg\" alt=\"Why We&#039;re So Obsessed With Celine Dion\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-129503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2.jpg 810w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-165x110.jpg 165w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-395x263.jpg 395w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-288x192.jpg 288w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-401x267.jpg 401w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-260x173.jpg 260w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-272x181.jpg 272w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-85x57.jpg 85w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Why-Were-So-Obsessed-With-Celine-Dion-2-170x113.jpg 170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The thing is, while we can all now see Celine Dion as a person (thus flawed, complicated, complex, etc.), it makes sense that even as tweens, we were so consumed by her music. She was our Taylor. Our Olivia. Our Ariana. In the same way my neighbour\u2019s seven-year-old daughter doesn\u2019t fully understand the context of \u201cThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,\u201d few of us really wrapped our heads around \u201cThe Colour of Love\u201d when it came out in 1993. We, like the Swifties, were enamoured with the promise of an abstract future in which we too could have things to say about romantic relationships. No part of me has ever related to Celine Dion, but as a kid who was convinced that kind-of bullying the boy in my grade four class would make him fall in love with me, I was enamoured with the idea that eventually, I would glean the secrets that would unlock a world in which my feelings were not only articulated properly, but somehow reflected back to me via the adult contemporary genre.<\/p>\n<p>Some of us did grow out of Celine. After \u201cMy Heart Will Go On,\u201d nothing could possibly match the splendour of her voice and a video heavily featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, so I found more age-appropriate music (Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, All Saints) that articulated the angst of being a teen and feeling absolutely out of my mind every day, all the time. And now, as an adult \u2013 one much older than when Celine Dion began singing like there was no tomorrow \u2013 I still don\u2019t relate to her music, mainly because loving anybody that much sounds exhausting, and I frankly don\u2019t have the bandwidth.<\/p>\n<p>But I will watch <em>I Am: Celine Dion<\/em>, and I will feel feelings, and I will use it as an excuse to blare <em>Unison<\/em> as loud as I can to drown out my sad attempts at reaching high notes. Then, I will listen to all seven-plus minutes of \u201cIt\u2019s All Coming Back To Me Now\u201d and congratulate myself on still having a CD player.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need a little more Anne?
