Fuck Celine. I'm still mad that I thought she did the Titanic song. Well, she did, but not the "ah ah ahhhhHHHHHhhhhhAhah ah ah ah ahhhhh Ahh ah ah…" part. It was Sissel Kyrkjebø.

lol. That reminds me of Martha Wash (artists kept using her voice, but various women in the videos were presented as the singers of her lines):
Martha Wash was sitting in a Los Angeles hotel room, furious and confused. It was late 1990 and the singer, relaxing before a show that night, had decided to unwind with some channel surfing. She stumbled upon a new music video by Italian house group Black Box, whose synth lines, horn stabs and pulsating, club-tailored drum patterns had already made them dance music stars. When the song’s vocals kicked in, she was shocked to see French model Katrin Quinol, the ex-girlfriend of founding member Daniele Davoli, bending over and crouching in a unitard, lip-syncing Wash’s vocals to the eventual hit “Everybody Everybody.”
“I said to myself, ‘I don’t believe this **** is happening again,” says the now 60-year-old Wash. “I called my manager and said, ‘I just heard myself on TV in a video.'”
“Again” is the operative word, as just a few months prior, Wash heard her ostensible demo vocals being lip-synced by singer Zelma Davis in the video for C+C Music Factory’s monstrous club hit “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now).” A frustrating cultural conundrum had taken effect: Martha Wash’s voice was famous, but she wasn’t.

It sucks we don't or didn't know the names of these artists. They deserve way more recognition.
Like that Swedish Titanic singer I keep forgetting the name of even though I just said it had such a beautiful, ethereal voice. No words, but it conveys so much emotion.
