[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Love her or hate her (and I'm assuming most of you are going to go for the latter), our Celine has more than earned her place in pop history. Now you have seven ticks to find your favourite UK Top 40 hits from the wibbly-warbly Canadian throat-merchant!

THOSE TICKS JUSTIFIED

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

'The Power Of Love' = classic powerballad, impossible to make bad
'Misled' = INSANE DISCO STOMPER
'Think Twice' = another classic powerballad!
'Falling Into You' = genuinely lovely and trip-hoppy - actually understated for once! like a precursor to that one good Dido song
'All By Myself' = pop culture colossus due to B Jones, also has that one moment where all the instrumentation drops out and she hits THAT NOTE and it feels like the world has screeched to a halt on its axis and been sent spinning the other way
'It's All Coming Back To Me Now' = eight-minute Steinman-penned epic which out-Meatloafs Meatloaf
'My Heart Will Go On' = erm I don't HATE it

agree re think twice (far and away the best here) and all coming back (which i *think* is on my ipod (thanks freakytigger!)), and my heart will go on deserves a tick too, NEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAARRRR, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR, whereEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER you are etcetc

is it ok that i only ticked three?

That's fine. I think if there is ever a Canon of Canons then results will be normalised by dividing by number of ticks.

power of love and all by myself NOT ticked due to inferiority of the versions, too histrionic for moi i'm afraid.

also, why can't i place misled? i was wondering if she *ever* did any proper uptempo numbers (MHWGO-bosh remix not counting, obv) and misled seems to be the answer...

'Misled' is indeed the answer - I hope someone has a copy so all poptimists can hear it, it really is poptastic. "If you think you're in mah hair! You've been seriously! (dramatic whisper) Misled!"

I think she did a disco-bosh cover of 'I Drove All Night' at some point too :o

"Misled" on Youtube

"I Drove All Night" is great!
