Celine Dion - I Drove All Night

[VoR]

I love Cyndi, but surely this is the definitive version?

 

[Jark]

iconic. anthemic. CAMP!

 

[GNL]

I feel like I usually like the idea of Céline more than the reality of her music, but in this instance it's all you could ever dream of; a poppers o'clock powerballad

Definitely NOT!

 

[POP!]

Didn't mean to be DISMISSIVE, but Celine's was a bit of a flop, I thought, at least in the US. Didn't think the electronic sound suited it really. Cyndi's felt like the better performance, and evoked the emotional longing/drama the song needed.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

EVERYTHING!!

 

[straightorbroken]

Céline doesn't rev up the same sensual angst and loses Cyndi's tension, but Queen Roy is also untouchable if we must pit 3 successful women against each other. Uh hu, yeah (yeah).

 

[VV]

9/10 - It loses one point for not being Cyndi's version!

 

[Marilyn]

Love the adlibs at the start

OhoooWAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaoooHhHHHHH

WoooooAAAH LA DA DA

[BoysForSeles]

It’s a good version but has nothing on Cyndi and Roy.

 

[jivafox]

Of course nothing beats the Roy video

 

[jyxz]

Team CYNDI (and team Jason for the video)

 

[Peekaboo]

Of course nothing beats the Roy video

Nothing beats the Roy version FULL STOP. Cyndi's is fine, and so is Celine's even if it has a whiff of the GENERIQUE GAY CLUB TRACK about it.

 

[COB]

Yes, Roy all the way forever

 

[Sheena]

1. Cyndi
2. Celine (the dance mix obviously)
3. Roy

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Love Celine but of course Cyndi remains the definitive reading.

This has turned into a very sexy round of Fuck, Marry, Kill.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

This version in particular is one of my favourite live performances of all time - by anyone:



Also thanking @JOLLY POP! our resident CYN FAN CLUB president

Fuck JASON
Marry CELINE of course
Kill ROY he's already dead

Poor Cyndi always the bridesmaid

 

[jivafox]

I think about you when the night is cold and dark

Uh-huh, YEAH

 

[Sheena]

The sheer level of emotion Cyndi rips out of the arse of "Nothing erases this feeling between me and YOUUUUUUU" and that final "the fever for you is just burning me up INSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE" is worth the win alone.

 

[Sheena]

I also love how Cyndi's narrative turns the song dark and stalker-y, away from Roy's traditional love song reading. It definitely feels like there is an undercurrent of threat in Cyndi's version.

 

[Christian]

I've never liked it in ANY form

Oh it's SUPER dark

 

[Cerro de Casa]

CREPT in your ROOM

 

[Rita]

WHAT A SONG. Cyndi is the definitive version for me and an easy 11 but that isn’t taking anything away from Celine as her version of the song is easily a 10.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Uh-huh, YEAH

"There were things I'd never do again, but then they'd always seemed right." Said one fan accused of setting fire to the basement they publish Rolling Stone out of.

 

[straightorbroken]

The RS staff must have bene pissing themselves like it were a Celine SNL sketch.

 

[lolly]

Roy
Cyndi
Celine

 

[Iguana]

What you doing Saturday, girl?

 

[jyxz]

Cyndi not on that list either I see

 

[GNL]

To add insult to injury apparently Roling Stone put Courtney Love on their best singers list ahead of Celine, Kelly Clarkson and Xtina.

I mean, they're right, but they've got the octave counting girls all riled up
