Celine Dion's Paris Olympics Performance Sparks Lip-Sync Controversy

Fans and experts are divided over claims that Dion's moving Eiffel Tower performance was pre-recorded.

  • Celine Dion's rendition of 'Hymne à l'amour' at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony has been met with allegations of lip-syncing by French newspaper Libération.
  • The performance marked Dion's return to the stage after a two-year hiatus due to her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.
  • Fans have defended Dion, expressing that the emotional impact of her performance remains, regardless of the playback allegations.
  • The controversy has not hindered the success of Dion's single, which quickly climbed to No. 33 on the U.S. iTunes sales chart.
  • Olympic organizers and Dion's representatives have not officially commented on the claims, leaving the debate unresolved.
