In reply to Princess Jasmine (The Real Jasmine).

@JOHNVIDAL "You are the one always a little bit obsessed with denying talents from other parts of the world and cultures and races." Please don't think that of me. I have been able to learn and enjoy music from lots of different cultures and countries over the years. Youtube is a wonderful website! Our definition of what constitutes SOUL music is different and that is okay. I certainly recognize Celine's vocal talents as a singer. It is just that when I think of SOUL music I think of "sanging" and not just "singing" which is where my earlier comment came from. I do not think of race at all when I hear natural soul. For example, La India is a Puerto Rican singer that I fell in love with years ago because of the natural soul that oozes out of her voice (even though she only sings in Spanish):

I am sorry that I do not hear natural soul when I listen to Celine's voice. I still like her a lot though and I thank you for bringing her up because I am going to have to find my old Celine Dion - Falling Into You album and get back into her music.
