Celine Dion’s heart might go on, but her fans are having a hard time getting over this snub by Rolling Stone … who left her off their list of GOAT crooners.
The magazine published about 200 of the best singers of all time up to date, and their list is quite extensive… spanning decades of music and even in some acts that raise old ones (like Ozzy Osbourne, for example). Still, it’s a well-rounded mix of talent.

Although some no-brainers made the cut — Aretha, Whitney, Adele, Michael, Mariah, Freddie, etc. — there is one person who is completely missing… Ms. Titanic herself.
There are other names that were excluded, which are causing some outrage, but none quite match Celine’s non-inclusion. The fact is…she is by far one of the most accomplished and impactful singers in modern history, commercially and critically.

Of course, Celine has won countless awards… including 5 Grammys, 6 AMAs, 7 Billboard Awards, 12 World Music Awards, 20 JUNO Awards, etc. In addition, seven of her albums have sold at least 10 million copies worldwide, a benchmark that only a handful of solo female artists have achieved. Several of his records have been certified gold, platinum and diamond, and he has several number 1 hits from a chart perspective.

Even by Rolling Stone’s standard of what makes a great “singer,” where they consider the full breadth of her work and show, rather than focusing on raw vocal talent, Celine ticks all the boxes boxes and then some. It should be there somewhere.

Celine herself doesn’t seem to care. She hasn’t responded to the snub, but instead…is busy celebrating her storied career. Still, as some have pointed out, someone dropped the dog here.
Talk about…nonsense.
