Why I think Celine Dion is bigger than Mariah and Whitney.

[RLAAMJR.]

Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are the three most popular female music artists when it comes to having powerful voices. In fact, they're called The Vocal Trinity.

Most Mariah fans tend to like Whitney more than Celine and most Whitney fans tend to like Mariah more than Celine.

And of course their fans would say their faves are bigger than Celine.

Well, im creating this thread to point out why Celine is the biggest female music artis among the 3.

Achievements:

1. Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celine_Dion_Parfums - proves the success of her perfumes called "Celine Dion Parfums". As stated on the wiki link: "On announcement of the release of Pure Brilliance it was announced that global retails sales are currently at $850 Million, ranking as one of the most successful celebrity fragrances."



2. Link: http://zeenews.india.com/entertainme...kozy_2494.html - the President of France Nicolas Sarkozy has given Celine Dion the France's highest award, the Légion d'honneur stating: "France thanks you because your talent and your success have contributed to the influence of the French language outside our borders."


3. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_New_Day... - stating "A New Day... is the most successful residency of all time, grossing over US$385 million ($454.39 million in 2017 dollars) and drawing nearly three million people to 717 shows."

When Celine left Las Vegas, Las Vegas struggles its economy. And when news about Celine Dion returning to Las Vegas with a new show called "Celine", Celine was labeled "The Savior of Las Vegas" . And when she returned, Las Vegas economy went up. And more music artists also stayed in Las Vegas to do residency shows.


Ill add more later.

But who is better? Celine or Storm?

[Coin Biter]

According to Wikipedia, Agatha Christie has book sales of between 2 and 4 billion. Poor Count Leo Tolstoy languishes with a mere 413 million. He can’t even beat the book sales of Harold Robbins.

Ergo, Agatha Christie and Harold Robbins are both bigger literary icons than Tolstoy.

QED.

[Kirby101]

Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald were both bigger, in every way.

[Alan2099]

Celine Dion is 5'7" and 115 pounds according to Bing, while Mariah Carey is 5'9" and 149 pounds.

Therefore she is not bigger than Mariah.

However Whitney is only 5'6" so she is taller, but Whitney weighs 141 pounds, so she's still not bigger.

Haven't we had this before? Or at least something extremely similar?

They're not music artists though.

Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald were both bigger, in every way.

Not really.

Celine, Madonna and Mariah are bigger than Aretha.

[Kirby101]

Not really.

Celine, Madonna and Mariah are bigger than Aretha.

Have you ever seen Aretha and Ella?

[RLAAMJR.]

Have you ever seen Aretha and Ella?

I know Aretha but if she was at her peak when Celine, Mariah and Whitney were at their peak, I don't think she can outshine them.

I know Aretha can hit higher notes but it's not just about hitting those notes. It's about generating a beautiful and controlled voice.

That's why in VH1 Divas Live, Aretha just kept on hitting high notes and when Celine tried singing back, Celine's voice was infinitely clearly more beautiful.

Celine Dion is 5'7" and 115 pounds according to Bing, while Mariah Carey is 5'9" and 149 pounds.

Therefore she is not bigger than Mariah.

However Whitney is only 5'6" so she is taller, but Whitney weighs 141 pounds, so she's still not bigger.

I would say Mariah is the most beautiful among the three.

Dion, Carey, and Houston...

If ever there were three people born to be in the uncool and unhip thread.

[Mormel]

But-but-but... 'Emotions' is my jam!

[RLAAMJR.]

But-but-but... 'Emotions' is my jam!

If only i can do whistles just like Mariah, i would sing "emotions" at the finals for sure win.

[dancj]

I would say Mariah is the most beautiful among the three.

Really? I always found her quite repulsive.

[Sandfall]

Whitney peaked by the late 90s due to her drugs abuse and troubled marriage. Her voice was damaged severely by the mid 2000s

Mariah Carey's career in my opinion declined after she divorced Tommy. She never reached the heights that was Vision of love, daydream and music box. Butterfly was the only exception. Also, she became more about her image. Her voice also declined to an extent by the mid 2000s though not severely like Whitney's voice.

Nothing ever really derailed Celine's career and She can still truly sing
