LAS VEGAS, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Singer Celine Dion will respond Monday to one of the most condemning and negative reviews of her 20-year career, a newspaper reported.
Dion apparently didn't live up to the high-brow standards of Vanity Fair's reviewer, A. A. Gill, a food and TV critic for the Sunday Times of London, who wrote 30 disparaging paragraphs over three pages for the October issue of Vanity Fair.
The Quebec-born singer is expected to tell ABC TV Monday night she can't be bothered with snooty reviewers, calling them "snobs," the Globe and Mail reported.
Gill attended one of Dion's Las Vegas shows recently, and wrote such things as "Dion has succumbed to the Vegas makeover. It happens to all acts that end up on the Strip. They lose kitsch control. There is some style gland that goes malignant in Nevada."
He describes her show as being full of "huge, overproduced, emotionally incontinent power ballads."
