Before she was the greatest diva of all time, she took Eurovision to the stars. This video essay was written by Mark Lee, the first person who isn't Belinkie to tackle one of these scripts since... jeez, 2016? Thanks Mark!

So wait, you're saying... Celine Dion was the 1988 version of "Space Man" :D?

It's fascinating how 1 single point turned out to be so life-changing.

I never (over)thought that Celine Dion's "Ne partez pas sans moi" was a song about Star Trek and Star Wars!!! Live long and (prosper) learn! :D

I wonder if the theme behind Celine's song is somehow inspired by the late 70' Quebecoise opera rock named Starmania. This same show was produced in Paris in 1988. Keep in mind that she recorded a bunch of songs from the musical in her album "Dion chante Plamondon" (the composer's last name) in 1991.

Hate to break it to you, but WE did not vote for her at Eurovision, the juries of the other countries in 1988 did. WE just had to watch it barely happen. Just sayin'.

Fun fact: in 1982, Céline Dion represented France at the Tokyo Song Festival winning the award for Outstanding song. Representing Canada that year was Bryan Adams.

How dare you, Cheryl Baker is one of our biggest stars out of Eurovision in the UK. She had her own TV cooking show: Eggs 'n' Baker

Knowing the lyrics are sci fi inspired makes me crave a cheesy 80s anime with the song as it's opening. Because let's be, honest, it fits the vibe. Or at least a Macross AMV.

Remember Celine forgot the lyrics at the Swiss national final

Hmmm..while on the surface, it does talk about joining heroes on a journey to the stars, at its core, the song is about the universal desire to explore, to be free, and to live out one's dreams. it's about not wanting to be left behind as others embark on exciting journeys, whether those are literal travels to new places or metaphorical journeys of personal growth and discovery...

It's quite speculative to assume that Céline Dion wouldn't have become a super star without her ESC victory. ABBA in fact failed quite a bit with their next six single releases after Waterloo in Europe (most notably on the important UK charts), but gained momentum after slowly growing a fanbase in Australia, New Zealand and Central Europe and they eventually climbed the charts in the UK and everywhere in Europe with S.O.S. and Mamma Mia. Their ESC victory might have helped them with establishing connections within the music industry outside of Sweden, but a year and a half following Waterloo they were generally considered a one-hit-wonder.

When Céline began to hit big singing in English I used to think that she was actually Swiss due to her Eurovision win in 1988 (back them somehow I didn't remember being mentioned that she was Canadian) and it was only around her The Colour Of My Love album that I learned that she was actually from Canada and hadn't any ties to Switzerland beyond her Eurovision participation.

I don't care that the lyrics don't make sense. I don't care that people say it was political that she won by one point. I love this song and Celine has the voice of a generation. She is incredible and deserves every accolade.

Don't sneer at Cheryl Baker, Bucks Fizz had a string of big hit singles in the early 80s. She became a household name, and still is. Obviously her fortunes are not so great right now, but her star was bright (in the UK at least) for years after her Eurovision triumph.
