Celine Dion's fans love her because they see her as a "fairy" - not because of her voice, according to her husband-and-manager.

René Angelil, who launched Celine's career when she was 12, says her success is just down to her voice.
He told Britain's Hello! magazine: "The key to Celine's success is not her voice. Her voice counts for 20 per cent. The rest is due to her personality.
"For the audience, she is a big sister, a little sister, a friend, a daughter, a fairy. They love everything about her."
Celine, 39, married René, 65, in December 1994 and the couple had their first child, son René-Charles, six years ago.
Celine's husband claims he is still her biggest fan.
He said: "She can do no wrong, as far as I'm concerned.
"Twenty years ago, the first advice I ever gave her was 'to sing and talk as you do when you're with your brothers and sisters'. She's always remembered that."
René mortgaged his home to pay for Celine's first record.
