六年以前,當她以狄士尼卡通【美女與野獸】的主題曲轟動全球的時候,儘管她已經在兩年之前唱紅過「Where Does My Heart Beat Now
」,除了法語地區之外,其他地區的人們多半還對她十分陌生,甚至連一些號稱專業的DJ們都還不太會唸她的名字。而這些年來,她陸續
唱出了「The Power of Love」、電影【西雅圖夜未眠】插曲「When
I Fall in Love」以及【因為你愛過我】主題曲「Because You Loved Me」,一次又一次的讓舉世歌迷們為之陶醉。
而她為【鐵達尼號】演唱的主題歌「My Heart Will Go On」,更使得她的聲譽達到了巔峰。說來您或許很難相信,她曾經是一句英語也
不會說的。她究竟是個什麼樣的藝人呢?今天就讓我來告訴您她的故事。
當時席琳的歌迷,基本上都仍然集中在加拿大和法國。為了拓展她的領域,她決心進軍英語歌壇,並從1989年開始學習英語。1990年,她
推出首張英語專輯,其中的單曲「Where Does My Heart Beat Now」奪得了全美排行第四名,不過她真正的風靡英語歌曲的市場,卻是因
為她在1992年應邀跟黑人男歌手Peabo Bryson合唱了【美女與野獸】的同名主題曲「Beauty and the Beast」。這首歌不但奪得奧斯卡金
像獎和葛萊美獎,也使得她的第二張英語專輯「Celine Dion」以及其他的單曲如「Love Can Move Mountains」、「Water from the
Moon」以及「If You Asked Me To」等等大為暢銷。在加拿大,這張專輯得到了六白金,更奪得多項相當於葛萊美獎的朱諾獎。
1993年,「The Color of My Love」專輯的出版,使得席琳狄翁在英語市場的人氣更上層樓。這次,她又唱出了另一首電影歌曲,那也就
是跟英國歌手Clive Griffin為【西雅圖夜未眠】共同翻唱的抒情經典「When I Fall in Love」。而專輯中的另外一首翻唱歌曲「The Power
of Love」可說更為成功,獲得了Billboard連續四週的冠軍。這張專輯同時也證明了席琳狄翁不論是唱抒情歌謠曲、或是重節奏的勁歌,
都是一樣在行的。
在大西洋的彼岸,席琳狄翁的聲勢也急速上漲。英國人喜愛的,往往跟美國人不太一樣,他們愛上了專輯中的另外一首抒情歌「Think
Twice」,使得這首單曲和「The Color of My Love」專輯雙雙在英國排行榜首停留了五週之久,這個紀錄是自從Beatles在1965年、他
們的全盛期創下之後,頭一次有人能夠達成的。事實上,「Think Twice」還在榜首上多停留了兩週,成為英國市場上有史以來第四張
由女性歌手奪得的百萬金唱片。她在英國的成就還不只如此,她的法語專輯「D'eux」史無前例的把法語歌曲推上了英國排行榜的尖端。
在「D'eux」專輯中,有一首席琳歌唱生涯中投入感情最深的歌曲,叫做「Vole」,那是為了紀念她因病過世的姪女Karine的作品,後
來被翻譯成英語的「Fly」,發表於她1996年的「Falling Into You」專輯裡。
1996年三月發行的「Falling into You」,是該年度最為暢銷的專輯,曾在十一個國家奪得冠軍,並在第三十九屆的葛萊美獎中獲選為「年
度最佳專輯」以及「最佳流行樂專輯」,到目前為止,至少售出了兩千五百萬張以上。專輯中,她再度為電影獻唱,勞勃瑞福主演的【因
為你愛過我】主題歌「Because You Loved Me」蟬聯全美冠軍六週,而另外一首「To Love You More」更在曰本奪得了長達十八週的
冠軍。
1997年底,隨著【鐵達尼號】感人肺腑的主題曲「My Heart Will Go On」,席琳狄翁的聲望更是邁向了另一個巔峰。同時發行的專輯「
Let's Talk About Love」,還包括了Barbra Streisand和Luciano Pavarotti兩位巨星的友情對唱。
席琳狄翁對史翠珊這位「歌壇大姊大」早已仰慕多年,而史翠珊對這位後起之秀嘹亮的歌喉,也早已透過大衛佛斯特的推薦而大為欣賞,不過真正促成兩人合作的原因,據說還是因為席琳狄翁在1997年奧斯卡頒獎晚會中拔刀相助、代替原先排定而臨時無法上場的歌手娜妲莉高(Natalie Cole)演唱了史翠珊電影「越愛越美麗」獲得提名的主題曲「I Finally Found Someone」(史翠珊是歌曲的原主唱人以及作者之一),表現優異而讓大鼻歌后感激在心,因此這次特別「欽點」席琳狄翁與她合唱,以「Tell Him」這首歌表現出兩個女性對愛與生命的探討,史翠珊以比較年長睿智的「老大姐」姿態,建議比較年輕的席琳狄翁,如果愛一個人,就要及時讓他知道,不要等到為時已晚才來遺
憾終身。
隨著每一張新專輯的推出,席琳狄翁總是能達成更優秀的表現,十多年如一曰,這是非常難得的,而這也就難怪她會越來越受歌迷們的喜愛了。當年一手捧紅Beatles的超級製作大師喬治馬丁就相信,席琳狄翁是不可能唱出任何不完美的音符的,因此特別邀請她參與自己告別唱片界最後專輯的演出,無比深情的詮釋了Beatles的經典「Here, There and Everywhere」。
I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
What in this world
Keeps us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of our one heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark, uh, huh
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Is that alright
I drove all night
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
Here the autumn ends
bringing back the rain
The old Chevy's dead
they tried to fix it in vain
Elisa's got her first teeth,
little Jimmy is getting strong
I'm learning guitar I almost know a song
I've found some chanterelle
at the market this morning
I'd like to live in Rome,
oh it would be such a good thing
Try to grow some flowers,
the same I tried before
That's all for now
Oh yes je t'aime encore
But where are you
So far with no address
How's life for you
My hope is my only caress
Finally cut my hair,
I hear you say at last
It's been kind of strange
but you see I survived
When I'm asked I go out,
I dance all night and more
But when I dance
Je t'aime encore
But where are you
So far with no address
And how's life for you
Time is my only caress
Je t'aime encore
just like in an old fashioned song
And it burns in my soul,
anything else seems too long
Oh more and more,
as strong as I can be
Oui je t'aime encore
But you, you cannot hear me.
have you ever been in love

Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart’s shooting stars
You’re holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever walked on air
Ever felt like you were dreamin’
When you never thought it could
But it really feels that good
Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever been in love
You could touch the moonlight
When your heart’s shooting star
You’re holding heaven in your arms
Have you ever been in love, have you...
The time I spent
Waiting for something that was heaven-sent
When you find it don’t let go,
I know
Have you ever said a prayer
And found that it was answered
All my hope has been restored
And I ain’t looking anymore
Have you ever been so in love, have you...
Some place that you ain’t leavin’
Somewhere you’re gonna stay
When you finally found the meanin’
Have you ever felt this way
The time I spent
Waiting for something that was heaven-sent
When you find it, don’t let go,
I know...
Coz have you ever been so in love, so in love
You could touch the moonlight
You can even reach the stars
Doesn’t matter near or far
Have you ever been so in love
Have you ever been in love
Have you ever been in love
So in... love...
When you're down
You can start again
Turn around
Anything you're in
Love will find a place
If you got...
One heart you are following
One dream that keeps you wandering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you trying
What's your silver lining
Love lights your way through the night
You can fall a thousand times
You can feel like you've lost your mind
But love will find a way
And a minute
Can change your life
And a moment can make it right
Love will find a place
If you got...
One heart you are following
One dream that keeps you wandering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish keeps you trying
What's your silver lining
Love lights your way through the night
Everybody needs something to hold onto
Everybody needs something to hold onto
If you got...
One heart you are following
One dream that keeps you wandering
Love lights your way through the night
One wish that keeps you trying
Find your silver lining (love will find a way)
Love lights your way through the night
(I know It will) (keeps you trying)
One Heart
Find your silver lining
Love lights your way through the night
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
In your heart
Don't be afraid
Feeling this way
I'm gonna make you understand
It's not about you
Cuz I am the fool
Building castles in the sand
If I act crazy
Just don't care
It doesn't mean I don't want you near
This is the story about me and you
And it's called...
Faith
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh, faith
Just take me as I am
So please have faith
So many times
In so many ways
I didn't know just where to go
You gave me a sign
And opened my eyes
That's the reason why I know
That you are different
You're still here
I guess you figured me out right there
Now I believe that we can make it through
And that's called...
Faith
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh, faith
Just take me as I am
So please have faith...
Have faith...
So don't be afraid
Feeling this way
Just hear me out ...stay!
And that's called...
Faith
Right beside you is where I'll stay
It's not too late
Just take me as I am
So please have faith...
In me
