We've seen many singers who were obviously influenced by Mariah or Whitney, this is the first I've seen who's clearly influenced by Celine, from the intonation, stage presentation to the melisma runs

[@robh323]

monikerprince go listen to delta goodrem clearly influenced by Celine

[@jyn88]

I feel like I haven’t heard many that sound similar to Mariah. Her voice is just so unique. Whitney I have heard similar tones. Pia does sound similar to Celine.

[@monikerprince]

@@robh323 I have only been listening to Delta since Born to Try ;) But while she does at some parts of her voice have some celine-esque inflictions she otherwise has a sound of her own and also plays the piano - giving me more of a singer/singwriter vibe

[@monikerprince]

@@jyn88 100%! tone wise (and range wise and everything wise) there is no other Mariah, its that mix register soft coo-ey voice style of singing she pioneered that so many have tried to copy (I dont want to name the most obvious one as Im sure I will be shot down by her fans =p)

It always amazes me when these singers who dont win contest’s go on to be better than the one that wins!

[@prp134]

Sheldon Gannon because those shows work off popularity and not actual talent.

[@alonsoswife]

Maybe if her attitude had been different

[@artieoliverio4124]

I know I have always said America shouldn't vote they don't have the talent

Helena Fisher sang it best in my opinion.

[@The_Eminence]

still the best is the original from the 80's with Jennifer Rush

[@davidkinkead4536]

@@The_Eminence 100% agree. To be fair Celine sang it quite differently, turned it into a power ballad. I have heard covers that sound like the original 🎹🎵😎

Seriously Pia really deserves a Grammy for singing so good I don’t get the other record label don’t let Pia in! Her voice is so amazing ! I mean She really deserves to be famous and go to a lot of events!
