So I'm at Carrie's house playing Catan, and as usual, the conversation rolls around to Celine Dion. Carrie poses this question to us all, and you must answer truthfully:
On the off chance that there might be some dissenting voices out there, let me remind you that the question was "Who is a better singer than Celine Dion?" and not "Who is making the best music today?" You don't have to like Celine's music, but you can't say squat about that voice. I mean, I couldn't give two poops about the sport of basketball, but even I can recognize that Michael Jordan was something special. You gotta admit, Celine reigns supreme. (I know you're with us on this one, Bec.)
A few years back, however, she might have had some competition. Watch this and tell me if you make it through without weeping:
I didn't think so. I bet even Saddam Hussein couldn't do it. He'd be wiping a tear from his tyrannical, murderous, leathery old cheek: "Damn you American peegs. I was planning to blow up your country, but now because of your Wheetney Houston, I have no choice but to apply for citizensheep."
Poor Whitney. What happened?
Anyway, I'm bummed that I missed Cirque du Celine in Vegas, but she's coming to Tacoma on October 18. Don't bother calling me that night. You know where I'll be.

You're talking pop singers, right? Because if you start including more classical singers, I might beg to differ. Celine's pretty good, but there are moments when my musical snobbery comes into play. Breathiness, a little too much nasality...Kinda like Nat King Cole. Few male singers that I admire more--but when he sings "extra-ARR-dinary" it makes me cringe a little. Small things aside, I gotta admit those gals got pipes.
P.S. Along the lines of Catan, have you ever played Ticket to Ride? The European version rocks, and might be seriously addictive, given the opportunity.
I have a few names for you. and Carrie..Mariah Carey and J Lo! Now you can't argue with that......okay fine........I think she has a decent voice. but it is shameful that the Canadian government bestowed on her the "Order of Canada" one of Canada's highest civilian honors. What the HELL has she done to deserve it???!!!
They have cheapened the order by giving it to any famous Canadian Tom, Dick or Celine.
Next thing we know you and Carrie will be defending Brian Boitnao.
Scott. J Lo? Are you for real? Crazy old Mariah has some pipes, I'll give you that...but J LO?
No tears, Randeedo, but I did get chills watching that video. And I of course mean the video of your friend lip-synching to "My Heart Will Go On."--timo
