Celine Dion was on The Tonight Show yesterday and Jimmy Fallon challenged her to a game of Wheel of Impressions. Basically they each are given an artist and they had to sing a song in that singer’s style.
The NBC host got Michael Jackson and Johnny Cash, both of which were impressive. But he could not compete to songstress. She started out with a tame Cher, but then she really let herself go when she got Rihanna. So much so, I never knew that the prim and proper musician can be a lot more than just that. She really embodied the Umbrella singer so much, it was anything but disturbia. Then it was time for one last impression and she got Sia. Sia would take off her wig to Dion because she sounded like the original but better.
Celine should add this schtick to her Vegas residency. Not only would I love to hear her sing her hits, I’d also love to hear her sing other people’s as them. I’d pay a lot of money to see that!
