From humble beginnings in a rural Quebec home town, Céline Dion has shot to international superstardom. Céline has been called one of the premier contemporary pop vocalists of the Nineties.

The entire world has seen Céline Dion literally transform herself from a gifted pre-adolescent into an international superstar.
