Renowned Canadian singer Celine Dion returned triumphantly to the stage, performing at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics on Friday.

Despite battling Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, Dion delivered a powerful rendition of Edith Piaf’s classic “Hymne à l’amour” from the iconic Eiffel Tower, bringing the ceremony to a close.

This marked her first live performance in four years and her second appearance at the Olympic Games.

Dion’s emotional performance was a highlight of the rain-soaked but spectacular opening ceremony, featuring performances by Lady Gaga and a starring role by French football legend Zinedine Zidane.

Despite the challenges posed by the rain, the ceremony was a spectacular success, with hundreds of thousands of spectators lining the banks and bridges of the Seine to watch the athletes’ flotilla and the lighting of the Olympic cauldron.

A concerned music enthusiast, Awuzie Frankline, has expressed disappointment with the current state of Nigerian music, citing an overemphasis on wealth and materialism.

Frankline specifically criticized Cubana Chief Priest’s new song, arguing that its lyrics lack meaningful content, instead focusing on self-praise and boasts about wealth.

Ekwutosblog gathered that Frankline’s critique extends beyond Cubana Chief Priest, suggesting that many Nigerian musicians prioritize singing about money and riches over more substantial themes.

He nostalgically references iconic artists like Michael Jackson and Lucky Dube, who tackled socially conscious topics in their music.
