The term “pop music” was first used in 1926 in the sense of “having popular appeal”, but in the 1950s, it originally refers to what we now know as rock & roll. The theme of pop music includes romantic loves and feelings. Pop music as a genre features a noticeable rhythmic element, catchy melodies and hooks, a mainstream style and conventional structure. Sometimes it used to refer to any music have high number of sales. A defining characteristic of pop music is that anyone is able to enjoy it.

Celine Dion was born in a big family. She liked singing since she was a child. Her music has been influenced by genres ranging from pop and R&B to gospel and classical. The first time she gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning two wards. After that she began her singing career, and becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, she temporarily retired in order to start a family and spent time to accompany her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned to the music scene in 2002, and began to perform at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
