Céline Marie Claudette Dion (born 30 March 1968) is a Canadian singer, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Dubbed the "Queen of Power Ballads", she is known for her powerful, technically skilled vocals and commercially successful works, which have had a significant impact on popular music.

Dion went on to release twelve English-language albums, including The Colour of My Love (1993), Falling into You (1996), and Let's Talk About Love (1997)—some of the best-selling albums of all time—as well as A New Day Has Come (2002), her 21st-century bestseller. Her catalog of high-charting tracks includes "Beauty and the Beast", "The Power of Love", "Think Twice", "To Love You More", "Because You Loved Me", "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", "All by Myself", "I'm Your Angel", "That's the Way It Is" and "I'm Alive".
