Two years after she learned English, Dion made her debut into the Anglophone market with ''[[Unison (Celine Dion album)|Unison]]'' (1990), the lead single having originally been recorded by English singer [[Junior Giscombe|Junior]] in 1983 and later [[Laura Branigan]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Unison by Junior - Track Info {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/song/unison-mt0011877249 |access-date=10 April 2023 |language=en |archive-date=10 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230410165841/https://www.allmusic.com/song/unison-mt0011877249 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Jam" /> She incorporated the help of producers including [[Vito Luprano]] and [[David Foster]].<ref name="Time1" /> The album was largely influenced by 1980s [[soft rock]] music and quickly found a niche within the [[adult contemporary]] radio format.

Her real international breakthrough came when she [[duet]]ted with [[Peabo Bryson]] on the [[Beauty and the Beast (Disney song)|title track]] to [[Disney]]'s animated film ''[[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast]]'' (1991).<ref name= "autogenerated8">{{Cite news |last=Bliss |first=Karen |date=1 March 2004 |title=25 Years of Canadian Artists |page=34 |work=Canadian Musician |issn= 0708-9635}}</ref> It became her first top-ten hit in the UK and her second top-ten hit in the US. The song earned its songwriters an [[Academy Award]] for [[Academy Award for Best Original Song|Best Song]] and gave Dion her first [[Grammy Award]] for [[Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal]].<ref name="Time1" /> "Beauty and the Beast" served as the [[lead single]] from her 1992 [[Celine Dion (album)|self-titled album]], which, like her debut, had a strong pop rock influence combined with elements of soul and classical music. Owing to the success of the lead-off single and her collaborations with David Foster and [[Diane Warren]], the album was even more well-received commercially than ''Unison''; it was certified diamond in Canada and double platinum in the U.S. The album's second single "[[If You Asked Me To#Celine Dion version|If You Asked Me To]]" (a cover of [[Patti LaBelle]]'s song from the 1989 movie ''[[Licence to Kill]]'') became her first [[List of number-one singles of 1992 (Canada)|number-one single]] in Canada and peaked at number four on the [[U.S. Billboard Hot 100|U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100]].

Also during this time, Dion released the Francophone album ''[[Dion chante Plamondon]]''. The album consisted mostly of covers, but featured four new songs: "[[Des mots qui sonnent (song)|Des mots qui sonnent]]", "[[Je danse dans ma tête]]", "[[Quelqu'un que j'aime, quelqu'un qui m'aime]]", and "[[L'amour existe encore]]". It was originally released in Canada and France between 1991 and 1992, then later received an international release in 1994, the first French Celine Dion album to do so. "[[Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)]]" became a smash hit in France, reaching No. 2 and being certified gold. In Quebec, the album was certified [[Music recording certification|Gold]] the day it was released.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eurochart Hot 100 Singles |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Music-and-Media/90s/1993/MM-1993-10-23.pdf |access-date=10 February 2024 |archive-date=21 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210221090845/https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/90s/1993/MM-1993-10-23.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

By 1992, ''Unison'', ''Celine Dion'', and numerous high-profile media appearances had propelled Dion to superstardom in North America. She had achieved one of her main objectives: wedging her way into the Anglophone market and achieving fame.<ref name= "autogenerated18">Alexander, Charles P.

=== 1993–1995: ''The Colour of My Love'' and ''D'eux'' ===
In 1993, Dion announced her feelings for her manager by declaring him "the colour of [her] love" in the dedication section of her third English-language album ''[[The Colour of My Love]]''. However, instead of criticizing their relationship as she had feared, fans embraced the couple.<ref name="Time1" /> Eventually, Angélil and Dion married in an extravagant wedding ceremony on 17 December 1994, which was broadcast live on Canadian television.<ref>{{Cite news |title=1994: Céline Dion marries her longtime manager |work=CBC.ca |url=https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/1994-celine-dion-marries-her-longtime-manager |access-date=29 January 2021 |archive-date=14 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210614185452/https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/1994-celine-dion-marries-her-longtime-manager |url-status=live }}</ref>

The album also spawned Dion's first US, Canadian, and Australian No. 1 single "[[The Power of Love (Celine Dion)|The Power of Love]]" (a remake of [[Jennifer Rush]]'s 1985 hit), which would become her [[signature song|signature hit]] in various nations until she reached new career heights in the late 1990s.<ref name="autogenerated18" />

The single "[[When I Fall in Love#Céline Dion and Clive Griffin version|When I Fall in Love]]", a duet with [[Clive Griffin]], achieved moderate success on the U.S. and Canadian charts and was nominated for two Grammy Awards, winning one. ''The Colour of My Love'' also became Dion's first major hit in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom. Both the album and the single "[[Think Twice (Celine Dion song)|Think Twice]]" simultaneously occupied the top of the British charts for five consecutive weeks. "Think Twice", which remained at No. 1 for seven weeks, eventually became the fourth single by a female artist to sell in excess of one million copies in the UK<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Journey so Far |url=http://www.celinedion.com/biography?page=0,2 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120709112546/http://www.celinedion.com/biography?page=0%2C2 |archive-date=9 July 2012 |access-date=16 August 2005 |website= celinedion.com}}</ref> while the album was eventually certified five-times platinum for two million copies sold.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Certified Awards Search |url=http://www.bpi.co.uk/certifiedawards/search.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130115055129/http://www.bpi.co.uk/certifiedawards/search.aspx |archive-date=15 January 2013}}</ref>

She also recorded a bilingual version of "[[Petit Papa Noël]]" with [[Alvin and the Chipmunks]] for the 1994 holiday album ''[[A Very Merry Chipmunk]]''. ''[[D'eux]]'' (also known as ''The French Album'' in the United States), was released in 1995, and it would go on to become the best-selling French-language album of all time.<ref name= "autogenerated15" /> The album was mostly written and produced by [[Jean-Jacques Goldman]], and amassed huge success with the singles "[[Pour que tu m'aimes encore]]" and "[[Je sais pas]]".

During the mid-1990s and onward, Dion's albums were generally constructed on the basis of melodramatic soft rock ballads, with sprinklings of up-tempo pop and rare forays into other genres.<ref>[[Stephen Thomas Erlewine|Erlewine, Stephen Thomas]].

The francophone album {{lang|fr|[[1 fille & 4 types]]}} (''1 Girl & 4 Guys''), released in October 2003, fared better than her previous two releases and showed her trying to distance herself from the "diva" image. She recruited Jean-Jacques Goldman, [[Gildas Arzel]], Eric Benzi, and Jacques Veneruso, with whom she had previously worked on two of her best-selling French albums ''[[S'il suffisait d'aimer]]'' and ''[[D'eux]]''. Labeled "the album of pleasure" by Dion herself, the album cover showed her in a simple and relaxed manner, contrary to the choreographed poses usually found on her album covers. The album achieved widespread commercial success in France, Canada, and Belgium where it reached No.&nbsp;1. In France, the album debuted at No.&nbsp;1 and was later certified 2× platinum after selling over 700,000 copies. Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote Dion's vocals were "back at top of their game" and she was "getting back to pop basics and performing at a level unheard in a while".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Allmusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/r666176 |access-date=20 November 2005 |website=Review—1 Fille & 4 Types |archive-date=19 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231219160707/https://www.allmusic.com/album/1-fille-4-types-mw0000694146 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Though her albums were commercially successful, they did not achieve the sales or the reception of her previous works.

=== Musical style ===
Dion has faced considerable criticism from critics, who state that her music often retreats behind pop and soul conventions, and is marked by excessive sentimentality.<ref name="Enc" /><ref name="autogenerated24" /> According to Keith Harris of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine, "[Dion's] sentimentality is bombastic and defiant rather than demure and retiring&nbsp;... [she] stands at the end of the chain of drastic devolution that goes Aretha–Whitney–Mariah. Far from being an aberration, Dion actually stands as a symbol of a certain kind of pop sensibility—bigger is better, too much is never enough, and the riper the emotion the more true."<ref>''The New Rolling Stone Album Guide'' 2004.</ref> Her recordings have been mainly in English and French, although she has also sung in several other languages including Japanese, Italian, German, Mandarin, Spanish, and [[Neapolitan language|Neapolitan]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.smoothradio.com/artists/celine-dion/singing-different-languages-video/ | title=This video of Celine Dion singing in 9 different languages is absolutely incredible | access-date=18 August 2024 | archive-date=18 August 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240818195222/https://www.smoothradio.com/artists/celine-dion/singing-different-languages-video/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Her francophone releases, by contrast, tend to be deeper and more varied than her English releases, and consequently have achieved more credibility.<ref name="autogenerated21" /><ref name="cbcc">{{Cite news |year=2007 |title=The real Céline: Céline Dion's new French album shows her personal side |publisher=CBC |url=http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/celinedion.html |url-status=dead |access-date=7 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070531083109/http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/celinedion.html |archive-date=31 May 2007}}</ref>

Critics have stated that Dion's involvement in the production aspect of her music is fundamentally lacking, which results in her work being overproduced<ref name="cbcc" /> and impersonal.<ref name="autogenerated21" /> However, coming from a family in which all of her siblings were musicians, she dabbled in learning how to play instruments like piano and guitar, and practised with a [[Fender Stratocaster]] during the recording sessions for her album ''Falling into You''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Depalma |first=Anthony |date=23 February 1997 |title=Quebec's Little Girl, Conquering the Globe |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/23/arts/quebec-s-little-girl-conquering-the-globe.html |access-date=7 January 2010 |archive-date=26 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171226160019/http://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/23/arts/quebec-s-little-girl-conquering-the-globe.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Occasionally, Dion has contributed to the writing of a handful of her English and French songs, as well as writing a few songs for other artists such as [[Marc Dupré]]. Additionally, as her career progressed, she found herself taking charge in the production of her albums. On her first English album, which she recorded before she had a firm command of the English language, she expressed disapproval, which could have been avoided if she had assumed more creative input.<ref name="autogenerated21" /> By the time she released her second English album ''[[Celine Dion (album)|Celine Dion]]'', she assumed more control of the production and recording process, hoping to dispel earlier criticisms. She stated, "On the second album I said, 'Well, I have the choice to be afraid one more time and not be 100% happy, or not be afraid and be part of this album.' This is my album."<ref name="autogenerated21" /> Besides her contributions to some of her early French albums, Dion wrote a few of the songs on ''[[Let's Talk About Love]]'' (1997) and ''[[These Are Special Times]]'' (1998).<ref name="evous.fr">{{Cite web |date=8 September 2011 |title=Céline Dion signe le single de Marc Dupré : Ecoutez 'Entre deux mondes' |url=http://www.evous.fr/musique/Marc-Dupre-Entre-deux-mondes,11068.html |access-date=27 September 2014 |publisher=Evous.fr |language=fr |archive-date=7 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307182810/http://evous.fr/musique/marc-dupre-entre-deux-mondes,11068.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In this rather hostile review, Selvin wrote: "You want cheese?

However, she has stated that she is unaffected by the comments, and is flattered that people take the time to impersonate her.<ref name="vh1" /> She even invited [[Ana Gasteyer]], who parodied her on ''SNL'', to appear onstage during one of her performances in New York City. While she is rarely politically outspoken, in 2005 following the [[Hurricane Katrina]] disaster, Dion appeared on ''[[Larry King Live]]'' and tearfully criticized the [[George W. Bush|US government]]'s slow response in aiding the victims of the hurricane: "There's people still there waiting to be rescued. To me that is not acceptable&nbsp;...

== Personal life ==

=== Relationships and family ===
Dion first met [[René Angélil]], her future husband and manager, in 1980, when she was 12 and he was 38, after her brother, Michel Dondalinger Dion, had sent him a demonstration recording of "[[Ce n'était qu'un rêve]]" ("It Was Only a Dream/Nothing but a Dream"), a song she, her mother Thérèse, and her brother Jacques Dion had jointly written. Over subsequent years, Angélil guided her to stardom in [[Francophonie|Francophone]] territories.

After the dissolution (around 1985) of Angélil's second marriage (to Canadian singer [[Anne Renée]]), he and Dion took a break from each other professionally, and he spent a major part of the year in Las Vegas, while Dion was learning English and taking dance and vocal lessons in Montreal. Upon his return, "he avoided being alone with me for too long a time",<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dion |first=Celine |url=https://archive.org/details/celinedionmystor00dion/page/196 |title=My Story, My Dream |publisher=HarperCollins / Avon |year=2000 |isbn=0-380-81905-8 |location=New York |pages=[https://archive.org/details/celinedionmystor00dion/page/196 196]}}</ref> she said in her 2000 autobiography ''My Story, My Dream''.

In May 2000, Dion had two small operations at a fertility clinic in New York to improve her chances of conceiving, after deciding to use [[in vitro fertilization]] because of years of failed attempts to conceive.
