What is it about.....

.....Celine Dion that always triggers all sorts of criticisms/jokes? When Titanic ruled the box office and ultimately the Oscars, people couldn't get enough of THAT infamous song, yours truly included such that I'd break into a couple of sniffles each time I watch that other infamous "I won't let go, I won't let go" scene. Come on, admit it, the last hour of the movie was pretty heartbreaking wasn't it?

So when Celine recently topped some silly slash useless poll (which no one probably gives a d**n anyway) about her cover of an AC/DC song as being the worst cover ever, I thought that if someone like Amy Winehouse or RIhanna covered the song, everyone would be singing their praises. I can think of other worst cover songs...Fall Out Boy's rendition of "Beat It" (been there so many times, done that so many times too)...Jessica Simpson's "These Boots Are Made For Walking" (oh how I cringe each time I see her cavorting senseless in that bikini). Besides I doubt Celine will lose much sleep over this. Nor will this stop people from checking out her concert shows. I know. I've seen her perform live and she definitely ranks amongst the likes of Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Bette Midler et al.

Viva Celine Dion!
