Her overwrought vocal stylings, her frightening thinness, and the strange relationship with her manager turned husband have tuned me of of her.
Besides it's just not cool to like her...
However, her popularity cannot be denied, with record sales in the millions and a highly successful Las Vegas show.
And, she did win the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988.
Yep, the Quebecois chanteuse represented Switzerland with this song:
Céline Dion "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi"
The suprising thing is ithat she didn't win by a huge margin, as you might think from her current success. She won the contest by only one point over the UK entrant, Scott Fitzgerald. In other words, she won by the smallest margin in Eurovision history.
But she one of the most successful performers to come out of Eurovision and she gains her place as a Eurovisionary. She's just not my idea of one.
