I watched the entire Celine video you posted. The main difference between the Celine video and the Julia video is that Celine is really performing live, while Julia is lip-syncing in a produced music video. Celine shows a lot of passion while she is singing. There is no pressure of dancing while singing, or looking sexy.
To me, Julia's voice is more ear-pleasing than Celine. But, Julia has an image to portray, and that live video showed me she is not comfortable with what she is doing. It's not natural to her. I think you are correct though when you said that Julia would be in with the right piece of music.
Julia got noticed singing a Whitney Houston song. Here is a clip of a young Whitney Houston in 1983 on the Merv Griffin show. Amazing stage presence and she stood in one place the entire song. It's impossible to watch this song to the end on not think this young lady would make it big one day.

I think Julia would do much better singing more classical styles of music.
