It's normal and it's natural that people try to put an Artist into a known "bucket" and then make comparisons. With Ginny Vee the team has tried hard not to have Ginny pigeon holed into any particular artist style.
In her Ginny Vee Karaokes on youtube ( here ) Ginny has covered a lot of different singers from +Bruno Mars to +Beyoncé -- but very interesting she has never covered +Celine Dion
However recently Ginny has been performing quite a lot of impromptu shows and guest appearances. And guess what... after she has sung a little +Adele - she gets asked repeatedly to sing +Celine Dion
Then after she sings a few Celine songs - people continuously say "You sound so much like Celine Dion" -
So that would not be that unusual - but as a team we have never thought Ginny to sing like Celine Dion. That was until very recently when we started to get this feedback. What added even more conviction to us is that the new UK production team on the first studio visit said "we're gonna set you for a sound like.... Celine Dion."
Then we got this via fan mail...
This particular fan from Taiwan was raving about the songs Ginny has done - but continued to ask Ginny to do Celine songs as "They think she sounds like Celine."
So we started to dig into Ginny's songs - and what she has done so far and sit with her voice coach - and producers -- and well maybe we are starting to be convinced that people are seeing something we are not. As of the last few days we have seen a huge increase in tweets and Facebook posts that are mentioning +Columbia Records and tagging up Ginny. That is strange as we just found out that is Celine Dion's record label. Wild coincidence? Maybe?
As the team that works with Ginny and does her official Blog - we simply can't ignore this - so for the next weeks we are going to investigate - and we are going to get Ginny to cover a few Celine Dion songs. We are also going to float this out to her followers, friends and fans to see if we are "just missing" something here.
We don't want to pigeonhole Ginny like any artist - but we also can't ignore that people, independent of Ginny hear something in her voice - and her style.
We would love to hear any comments - feedback - either here or Facebook or Twitter on if you hear something in Ginny's voice - style that has the flavor of Celine.
We will put a cover song on soon and see what people think.
