The 'authenticity' of Celine Dion: 'She appeals to the Boomers and the Zoomers'

In this edition, FRANCE 24’s François Picard talks to Nick Rees-Roberts, Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University about Celine Dion. For Roberts, Dion’s extraordinary return to Paris reveals something larger than the enduring popularity of a global pop star. Her appeal lies in an unusual ability to bridge categories that contemporary celebrity and pop culture often keep separate: generations, languages, cultural hierarchies and even the apparent opposition between authenticity and carefully constructed stardom.
