People are always comparing them, but I honestly think Leona will never be near Celine's standard.

Celine is a legend, a powerhouse who is very versatile and can sing many different genres. Leona can't. Plus Leona hasn't the pure tone that Celine has, and tbh Leona is a boring performer whereas Celine has the whole package.

What do you think?

I never hear people compare Leona to Celine. Not that it matters. Not a Celine fan. Love Mariah Carey though.

^ Same. I haven't heard her compared to Celine that much either. It's usually Mariah or Whitney.

I think Leona's voice has a purity that Celine's also has. She certainly can sing many different genres too if you take the time to listen to a variety of songs she has done. Celine is a legend and Leona is still a relatively new artist. The fact she is compared to the likes of Celine, Whitney and Mariah is testament to her talent. She's a world class vocalist, easily one of the best of her generation and if you saw her on tour you would have seen how great a performer she is too.

Hopefully her next album will allow her to showcase that more.

Never ever heard the comparions between Dion and Lewis at all

It's always been Mariah. But since her second album, for me as a fan, she has really pulled away from the being the british mariah.

Plus have you see her live? Your calling her a boring performer. Have you seen her live to back your claim up

Have to agree that I've never heard them both in the same sentence till now.

I'm not much of a fan of either, but I wouldn't say they have the same type of voice at all. Celine strikes me as a nasal-y version of Beyonce in terms of how they sing. Consistent, pure belting throughout and versatile vocals. Leona is very much more in the vein of Mariah/Whitney with the whispering head voice et all.

Celine definitely has the more powerful voice, but it's a different type of voice to Leona's.

I'm not a fan of screechy warblers but when Christina can control her voice she beats them all hands down for me but all too often she gets carried away and it sounds like a dolphin massacre.

I think Leona is phenomenally talented and has a beautiful tone to her voice, but I don't think she's as strong as Celine.

Leona's voice is far superior to Celine's, she sounds awful imho.

Not being a fan of Leona's at all, in my opinion Celine is much better. However, I don't think any of them can compare with La Streisand.
