How in any way shape or form has Celine f**king Dion changed or shaped music as we know it?

Although many soundtrack singles had become hits before "My Heart Will Go On", a string of similar songs followed afterward, such as Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from Armageddon and Faith Hill's "There You'll Be" from Pearl Harbor (both of which directed by Michael Bay). Each followed in the footsteps of the "Titanic" theme, a love ballad for a tragedy. Although those two songs became hits, they did not achieve the same success of "My Heart Will Go On".

literally set the blueprint for soundtrack singles

She's certainly very popular, and has some very iconic song, however, I don't think that's enough. Her music is quite bland...

I went to France, Italy, China, ... and no one knew who Beyonce was yet they all could sum up Leona's songs

The op sounds pressed. Céline started in the 80s and reached international status mid 90s. She's in the top 5 biggest female selling artists. 2 of her albums are among the best selling of all time.
She basically made +30million of people buy a soundtrack filled of orchestral music because of one song.
She has hits in english and in french. She has the biggest francophon album of all time. She inspired artist all around the world. She went to Vegas before everybody else. She's a part of the vocal trinity which slayed the 90s.
Beyoncé and Brit will be legends but don't discredit someone's success to make your faves' look bigger. She's a legend PERIOD.

Celine never took risks and stayed to a formula (AC and ballads) that is reliable
Celine has been making the same AC themed album for the last thirty years
Celine has her 40+ year old market on lock because they grew up and with her and she never lost them because she's been making the same music the whole time...
It's not hard to understand why she still sells so well
|
So? Because she didn't sell her body like Mariah tried to do at some point and because she did not try to make some stupid pop songs (i.e Touch My Body), it is less impressive? 
The fact is she still can compete with today's artists in terms of sales like 25-30 years into her career and it is beyond impressive. Period.

Miracle Whip, well yeah.... but you seem to be interested in old hollywood films so ofc YOU'D know but if you were to ask random people on the street what comes to mind when they think of Marilyn, maybe a few would say "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" but most would talk about her hair and style. It's instantly recognizable
|
I just thought it was extremely ignorant for that member to say Marilyn Monroe is only a icon but Celine Dion is a legend...

I mean! She's an excellent singer but she's just there. When I think of her, I just see blank. Has she one iconic music video at all?

One day, 50 years from now, Beyonce might be a legend. Don't give up, she should be more popular in Europe first

Celine has one of the most distinct voices in the industry. Her back-catalog is filled with iconic songs. Not to mention her sales which Beyonce would kill for. Honestly, can you really say Beyonce or Britney had a song with so much impact as My Heart Will Go On?

That's real impact, not going naked on music videos and using backvocals every single time.
