This proves why this woman is in The Vocal Trinity. She's didn't grow up in the black church but she tapped into some real soul singing here. Aretha would be proud.
Ohhh yesss!!! I'm agree with you!!... She Is the Unique Queen!!...🌹❤️💎👑
Dame Franklin look at her from heaven this night with a little pride tear on her eyes i'm sure of it:)
@@hugodeblois336 Celine sounds amazing singing this beautiful tribute to aritha
Dont need church for anything broseph.
For sure celine can sang
She didn't just sang! Celine didn't just sang, she ministered! That was a blessing!
I agree!!
my thoughts too lol
By the look on the audience's faces they all agree that Celine is completely capable of carrying this song off, and boy did she ❤️
Awsome 💖💖💖💖💖🥀🥀
51, lost her husband and brother two days apart, came back from a whole year of concerts every single day in Vegas, and still... she sings this like a champ!
The only Aretha Franklin tribute that's qualified. No shouting, no oversinging, just singing from the heart and the soul. A legend honoring a legend.
Pure vocal ability, pure control, pure soul...everything, spot on
❤️❤️❤️
She sounds like a broken record to me.
@@bd3825 there is no Better singer alive than Celine Dion
@@bd3825 well, the insecurity you got honey. Stay mad. 😉
21 years ago, the Queen of Soul asked Celine to sing "HIGHER" at 1998 Divas Live. Celine was being extremely "DISRESPECTFUL" (quoted from someone saying that numerous times) to sing the same key to the Queen.
21 years later, the Queen personally invited Celine to pay tribute for her and Celine was finally singing a "HIGHER" note (G#5) at the end of the song with her own riffs and runs to show "RESPECT" to the Queen.
bravo!
Mariah is just jealous lol
@@work1343 exactly because she couldnt keep up
@@work1343 jobs. Do you people have them? Why are we commenting on 1998 while watching for someone who died?
@@work1343 of what
A well-disciplined singer who knows how to take care of her vocal. Bravo 👏🏼
Unlike who?
-Mariah has left the chat-
Steve L Céline is unique! ❤️
@@CountryCowboy008 Really? Did U have to mention Mariah Carey? why? What is Ur hatred against her? Do not tell me U're one of the people who like to compare singers. I tell U something...? Each singer is unique and unrepeatable, thank God Mariah Carey still earns a lot of money with her majestic voice, Céline Dion with her impeccable voice also does it, Barbra Streisand the same, Patti LaBelle and Lisa Stansfield also and each of them is unique, different and all are highly acclaimed by the public and no matter who sings better or worse than the other, the comparisons are stupid. IMHO!🤷🏻♂️
Brava*
I don't know where Celine got so much soul from. Whitney grew up in church and had depression. Mariah was neglected and bullied. Celine was BORN with soul. Periodt
Celine was born with LOVE. It's true. Her family, her manager (also husband), her circle (david, warren, carole, tommy motola), and herself are prove us that Celine live with much love. 🤘😍
@@ch_aldan Celine Dion was number 14 a super large and modest family but it seems there was love and care but life was tough in Charlemagne, Quebec. School was not a kind place. She may joke about it today because she was determined to become a professional singer from a very young age, but she was bullied at school. She had crooked teeth until her adulthood, she was very skinny with very dark eyebrows. Other kids called her "vampire" or "canine Celine". Yet, she was as sweet as a pie but as a true fighter she wanted to become an international singer from the age of five. She not only developed exceptional vocal agility and range, she has natural discipline and adaptability to different musical genres in both French and English, and exceptional resolve to conquer. She could have been born to sing gospel and soul whatever the colour of her skin. She has developed an incredible ability for ad libs and improvisation and by god she can sing. Try to keep it up every day of the week at the top over a 40 year of a singing career, it seems impossible is not Celine. Anyway, what a better tribute to soul music can you give? The way the audience react they know she nailed it.
🥰😎
Celine embodies music. Her voice is an instrument. No matter what genre she can adapt her voice to match it. She doesn't care about her facial expressions or how she may look doing things, she does what she wants to do to convey the music whatever style it may be. She's not self conscious about her image like Mariah would be; she can do vocal effects mimicking instruments and that requires weird facial expressions sometimes.
Mariah should not even be mentioned under this video. She never did and never will produce this kind of show stopper performance.
And they say she couldn't sing an Aretha song with soul, please. She meant every word.
Every SINGLE line!!!
@@sassygyrl
She tried to do a live vocal copy of Aretha's studio recording of this song...so it's basically an attempted imitation. Only makes me want to listen to Aretha sing it. Celine sounds so strained it's painful. Instead of trying to reproduce Aretha's vocal performance, maybe she should have had her arrangers work the song around HER current vocal abilities.
@@direfranchement thank you. I thought i was the only one that noticed that
This is Sam Cooke's song...Aretha's version
@@direfranchement ..."there are people called haters"...
Celine has EARNED every accolade....and she has EARNED the right to pay the respect to Aretha. Thank You God.
Judging by the audiences reactions,she did the Queen of Soul proud
This song is so personal for my people! She did it justice! I think she's speaking from her own struggles! OUTSTANDING Celine! You put your soul in it & we felt it!!
I agree! Think her husband was in her mind whilst she was singing
So often, it is our shared pain which unites us. Have you noticed that it's usually those ppl who haven't had to struggle that are the ones that lack empathy? There are exceptions to every rule, but:
It's often the rich ...who are greedy, the healthy...who lack compassion for the sick, the privileged ...who don't want to hear the "excuses" of the oppressed. There's an old proverb: *There is wisdom in the house of sorrow* The "change that's gonna to come" is a change of our hearts and minds.
Sonya petty it's such a beautiful song.
Was looking for this comment
She put her own history in the song for sure, and she did honored Aretha, and the meaning of the song.
At this point Celine is the only qualified singer with enough prestige and history behind her to honor such a legend.
The real underdog of the vocal trinity she has outlived and outsang them ALLLLLL. She and Whitney really showed the world what angels sound like.
Out earned and out performed!
Y’all only be giving Mariah the respect she deserves when she passes. Its so f sad
@@danielmilheiro4673 She's a talent, no doubt about that. But she's really mean and has a very questionable attitude towards other singers.
Whitney and Celine both have the class that Mariah doesn't have. Besides Whitney, only Celine gets this kind of respect from the audience- people standing up and giving them flowers everytime they step out of the stage.
@@truz5728 Aretha earned that. She paved the way for many female singers. Mariah didn't. Lol.
@@danielmilheiro4673 "now waaaiiit a minute bitch this aint phadrea"....Mariah is on the same pedestal frien. The fact is there's so many great singers but the world will never talk about the singer with the greatest range and it not be Mariah, sorry if that first comment seemed shady .
remember how celine stepped forward during the divas live show in 1998 and competed as the only one against aretha, and aretha respected her and said "good girl of mine". it became full circle now as she is the only one of the 90s divas that still could pay an appropriate tribute to the queen of soul.
Are we forgetting Mariah Carey is still alive and well and still breaking records.
@@jojomonroe3754 Mariah still break records but she can't sing anymore
@@jojomonroe3754 Yes Mariah is alive and VERY well manifesting herself with the most recent records in 2019. But I said paying tribute to Aretha. And frankly, I don't believe Mariah could still belt out "a change is gonna come" in the fashion Celine did. It takes a lot of guts to sing that, just as stepping forward and competing with Aretha.
Mariah still got it! Just listen to her concert performances
Oliver Mariah can’t BELT. She could in her prime she can’t any longer. And actually Celine’s voice isn’t as fluid or as supported I. Her belts as in her prime. People age, voices change.
Now this is how a Legend should pay a tribute to another Legend... Period
Her vocal, is a monster
One of the greatest
EVERYTIME CELINE OPENS HER MOUTH TO SING, THE WORLD STOPS AND THE MAGIC BEGINS!!! NO MATTER WHAT STYLE SHE´S SINGING.
Never forget and you can verify, Ms. Aretha Franklin requested Celine Dion sing at her tribute. Unfortunately The Queen of Soul passed away before the broadcast. Ms. Aretha also covered some of Celine’s songs on live performances. They had respect for one another. Keep it real!
it is very well said.
No, she did not it was Clive Davis who put this show and artists together after Aretha's death. You are maybe talking about the 1998 show.
Those are the facts.
These shows take up to a few years to put together.
Figure it out. The time span between Aretha's passing and the tribute date.
It would have been impossible.
Her use of rasp throughout this performance in and out is INCREDIBLE!
I’m realizing the rasp wasn’t on purpose. She has an illness, unfortunately, that started 17 years ago.
she uses the same key as aretha at 30 years old .lol. but above all she uses a strong tone, she sings very loud from start to finish .. crazy high tone ... at 52 years old ..... she could have sung softer with less force .. but her voice is 52 years old. lets sing that again .. that broken voice makes for an emotional style. the notes are not all clean but it is related to the volume of his voice. she lowers the volume a little, her voice will be clean and the notes clearer. this a style ....I love Celine when she sings loudly like here while remaining on her crazy chest. her highs are tense and broken at certain times .. but she stays in the highs ... this is impressive at 50 years old ... yes she uses her mask (nose) .. but it allows her to sing fast and powerful at 50 years old. .this adds a piercing dimension. but also an enormous speed ... that not many singer have at this age ....
It even unnecessary to pinpoint about she did well or not in her singing because at this point of her career, she is probably one of the biggest influential vocalists of contemporary music. She has nothing to prove anymore but she keeps on slaying and giving.
As you said, she's beyond 50 and still enjoying her amazing gift with resonance, range, and agility that most of her peers lost before even reaching 40 years old.
Just enjoy and be thankful that she's here with us, still making music.
She drives in that performance.
I am a black woman , however Celine is one of my favorite singers. And she is doing a great job with this song., sing Celine! We all have struggles rather we black, white Asian whatever we all have been faced with struggles.
Linda Graves u don't have to racially identify urself to like Celine Dion. Wat does race have to do with gud singing LOL
Linda Graves mine as well ♥️♥️♥️
Music is food for the soul
I understand where you're coming from, perhaps we shared the same struggle.
Asian here 💕💕💕
A legend honoring a legend.. That's how i see it..👏👏👏😊
that's how it is. pure and simple.
true 🙏
It's true!
Yesss!! Super legends Celine and Aretha 😍
That’s accurate.
Note for note, riff for riff Celine nailed as Her Majesty would have. It’s obvious she studied the original recording not just for this performance, but from it being a favorite of hers! Bravo!
Exactly! After this I went back and listened to Ms Franklin’s studio version and it’s unmistakably similar note for note.
She nailed it!
@@jak30341 Exactly, Celine is known for having zero artistry. Just copying Aretha note for note instead of making the song her own.
Celine will forever be one of the greatest vocalist in history. No one can ever replicate the power and magic of her voice. Main pop girls of today can never touch the power of Celine Dion. To sing a difficult song with passion, soul and power is a feat that legendary vocalists can only do!
De acuerdo ❤🇨🇺🎼
I can't stop listening this song. This is exactly why Celine Dion is a legend and in a class by herself.
Second listening, second crying...THIS is a diva.
Louis-Henri BAILLET Amen. Everytime I watch this and this is like my 15th time at least and I cry each time. Celine put so much emotion and empathy into this performance. The images on the screen added to the performance but her voice shined the most.
Incroyable magnifique tellement beau 😭
You can really tell how amazing Celine and her voice bc she s the only 90’s Diva who paid tribute to her great fellow Divas like Whitney and Aretha . I dont think the other one who s part of the vocal trinity who kept on shading Celine can do a tribute to the late two divas .
Her vocal range is amazing 😍😍😍😍
OMG You don't see Céline like that very often. GIving it her all, all the way through. The audience looked pretty impressed too. And remember it's not her first language!!!!
She sang that!!
Wait, English is not Celine’s mother tongue?
I disagree I don’t feel as though she gave it her all. But she did sing it very well in my opinion now as for the ending she took us all to church it’s refreshing that she sung the song Celine is an amazing woman period and when she opens her mouth you freakin know she came to slay. She really controlled her voice here extremely because any other time she would’ve been up there I’m range and notes. But that’s alright she did great she made this version her very own
To Leaves French is her first language
To Leaves yeah she’s born in a French speaking town. She speaks French at home and with her kids. You should check out her French materials too, they’re much better than that of English.
If you had told me, beforehand, that Celine Dion was going to sing A Change Is Going To Come, I would have frowned and maybe even scoffed at the very idea. I would have been proven wrong after this performance. Every blue moon you capture that essence of that THING that draws the audience in and keeps them on the edge of their seats. Celine did that. She was amazing, and it was exactly the way Aretha did it. I believe Aretha and Sam Cooke would have been honored by this performance.
Love your comment
I had to go and listen to Aretha’s version of this song to understand Celine’s. All I can say is WOW. She NAILED this. Her vocal talent is incredible. Aretha would’ve loved this ❤️ 👌🏻
Yup, same key as the original recording
One of the greatest vocalist in the history of music!!!
I expected to be disappointed by this, having such a affection for the Otis version - it can be a mournful or uplifting song, but I had chills from the first few bars.
They'll only ever be one Aretha.
And one Celine.
Celine IS a DIVA. This tribute is proof. When you put Soul into it, it shows
Amen😇
Celine Dion is one singer who respects all artists especially "Aretha Franklin" and a great admirer of "Whitney Houston" when she sang at the Grammy's she was in the back looking at the TV monitor as an astonished child looking at Whitney which was amazing in her singing at that moment. Everyone there was also watching Celine watching Whitney was amazed that this singer loved Whitney for her style and incredible vocals.
She can sing in any key and always shows how great she is. Celine, we miss you.
Someone must've sprinkled some hot sauce on the food in Celine's dressing room because she came out singing like she had been to the mountain top!😄
Es a lo que se le llama una verdadera leyenda
Period
Celine showcased her soul in 2004 for a tribute to Luther Vandross with singing the song "Dance with my Father" with no ear piece to hear herself. She sang that song with love and soul.
Celine is one of the most respected divas in Asian and other parts of the world. She can still sing so well at this age. I wish Whitney was alive and maintained her voice because she’s my favorite.
Celine is my favourite.
@@darkfeather6857 Lol
@@darkfeather6857 no one asks u to care🤷♂️
@@darkfeather6857 Do you know what rudeness is? Why do you seek to be rude?
Not only in Asia, but around the world especially for today.
Only Celine could pay tribute the Queen of soul, may she great in peace
Celine is part of the TRINITY with Mariah and Whitney
Yeah The 3 DIVAS ❤️
Now we know why
Lies! Celine is part of the HOLY TRINITY; with Aretha and Patti. She DID "If you ask me to.".
@@magus9130 they're not batch
Hell yess. Celine and Whitney are my top.
Not gonna lie. Total lump in my throat. Almost cried on that one. Powerful performance. Xx
The greatest technique singer in history singing with the level of soul that of the greatest tone singer in history 🙌🙌
Ohhh yesss!!! I'm agree with you!!! She Is the GREATEST!!!... A Unique Queen!!!... A Truly LIVING LEGEND and ICON of World Music in History!!...🌹❤️💎👑
amen to that
Celine took it to church, yes ma'am!
I think we need to give her Noble prize for being such a talent
Right?
My goodness one of the greatest vocalist of ALL time! She did that song justice. I know Mrs. Aretha would have been proud. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Celine is one of the best singers ever
A Legend honouring a Legend.... Celine Dion is a great VOCALIST, No doubt... At her age, she's still able to deliver this powerfully, in which most of her peers can't anymore even the younger singers can't.... I Stan a Queen.... Whitney, Celine Mariah, Aretha Franklin & Barbra Streisand are the greatest vocalists I have ever seen n heard in music industry. Period. Thanks ma for bestowing us with this performance ❤️❤️
Perfectly said. How blessed are to have lived in an era to have witnessed those amazing artists
Mariah should not even be mentioned under this video. She never did and never will produce this kind of show stopper performance.
Whitney Drug Houston and Mariah Playback Carey are the worst failure from the industry, Celine is too superior.
@@kuroneko-chan2373 nope nippy and mimi is better than celine
#DonnaSummer. #ChakaKhan
Okay Mariah, my love... Stop being salty to Celine on that VH1 Divas '98 performance that even up until 2020 you still cannot accept that Celine had that special moment with your idol. Your idol Aretha who asked YOU ladies to lift Jesus on that stage and no one except Celine accepted Aretha's request. And now, Celine gave her tribute. Celine didn't mean to disrespect Aretha coz Celine has always been the kindest artist there is in this lifetime. Period! Never been shady, never been disrespectful and she has always been the most generous and knows how to acknowledge other people's talents, including your talent Mariah. Celine had nothing but kind words towards you. And I hope you will learn how to have that piece of humility that Celine has.
I completely agree with you a thousand percent.
Nunca mejor dicho
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👇🏼
Hearing Celine sing a gospel soul song gave me chills.
Celine live is just beyond words. What a great pick. The reactions from the crowd said it all.
I came to this video after watching a video of Mme Dion at her husband’s funeral in Montreal. It made me reflect on her childhood, youngest of 12 in working class Québec family. She married her manager, the love of her life, raised three sons with him, and then she lost him.
And then she does this.
“Change” can mean hope to those who are suffering. I am wowed by the power she gives that message, honoring Aretha Franklin. She is a giant talent, but she is a human, and in this performance she brings both together. Bravo, Mme Dion!
Celine has done an amazing job in singing tributes to America's greatest Divas like Aretha and Whitney. Only Celine can give them justice by singing in Celine Dion way.
As always, Celine Dion's vocal talents make you drop just everything, and you're left standing in amazement.
I'm tired of people telling me that Celine Dion is a bland singer... At this point, I just think it's musical ignorance. 🤓 Great performance...
Edit: COLLEAGUES, colleagues said that. I defended her. 🤦♂️
Nobody: Celine Dion is a bland singer
You : I need some likes
@@DMJV101 And you are...?
Yes she's one of the most boring singers I ever seen on TV
Alexandre Covers Bland singers do NOT sell over 220 Million records worldwide! Those people are either jealous, ignorant, or plain dumb.
Bland singers do not sell out to 100,000+ at 51 approaching 4 decades in the biz to younger crowd and other singers attending same concert including royalty😀💯😍
I tell you, other than Aretha Franklin herself, no one in my opinion sings this song better. Celine did probably the best tribute out of anyone. This song sung her way just slayed me. I'm done y'all. I need some communal support right now because these are troubling times. But in Christ, through Christ and because of the Lord, I believe we are going to make it through!!!
Not gonna lie besides Aretha Franklin Otis Redding sung the hell out of this song. Celine and Jennifer Hudson did justice to this soulful song and sounded great.
I never knew she got such soul. Impeccable performance
Sir George Martin claimed she had soul decades ago.
Well. Now you know she is phenomenal I love all her music she has passion
She is what she is because not only has she one of the best singing voices on the planet but she also got soul.
Whitney and Mariah sing with full of emotions but Celine sings with tons of soul! I can cry hearing Celine sing which I haven't felt with Whitney and Mariah. Though I am a big fan of the two. 😊
Listen to her first album that made it big. She has SOUL
She really tapped into Franklin character and paid respect to her style of singing with every vocal manoeuvre there
You are spot-on, you can see she has listened to Arethas version of this a thousand times, every lick and belt is almost identical. Those super-fast runs and belts are very similar to the Queen in her prime, plus her tone and pitch. Celine is one of the only people who can sing anything like the Queen, all of the others, Hudsons etc.., sound nothing like Aretha. Celine should be playing Aretha in the upcoming movie, not Hudson. They should black Celine up and let her clean up.
This is why Celine was one of Whitney's rivals...amazing!
Celine Dion is legendary, one the best singers of all time...PeriodT!!
Haters will hate ! Celine is a true legendary vocalist regardless of what you talentless people think 😝 and admit it or not she slayed this song and tore the whole house down !
I don't see any haters.. just admiration for her soul quality and skill 😍
Celine is also a hater. Don't you know what she did to Lara Fabian during the 90s? You need to do some research. Go watch Lara's interview. .
@@spanishlessons4075 it was the media trying to pit them against each other . they competed in the Eurovision before and Celine won . Lara said in an interview that she felt sabotage by celine's management . Not Celine herself. Do you know how the music induatry works ? You need to do some MORE research.
@@destinedtobe1513 You are the one who needs to do more research. Lara said that in an interview. Go tell her, not me. I didn't say; Lara said it.
@@spanishlessons4075 really ? Show me the link . I dont think Lara will say something bad to Celine and vice versa . People nowadays makes issues in the very smallest of things . Dont. They didnt say anything bad to each other ever.
Canada's gift to the world...an amazing tribute to the Queen Of Soul !!!
idk i just like her from a very young age until now shes still the best of the best...WHAT A LEGEND QUEEN OF POWER BALLADS....my respect to all divas left but Celine will alweiz be my favourite female singers in the world..iLysm Celine Dion!
Celine never fails to amaze me. I would hate to be the next performer after this. She touched so many people in the audience.
Wow, I had never heard her sing soul music before. Remarkable performance!
Wow! I’ve never heard Celine sing this way!! Something different came out of her. This was powerful!! The song brought out an emotion I’ve never seen in her! My daddy is African American and I have witnessed him experience discrimination time after time growing up!! 😢 Change is gonna come! RIP Aretha and thank you Celine for that powerful rendition. 🙏praying for your healing!! 💙💙
Céline is a French Canadian , a Québécoise .. we were discriminated pleinful by english canadians .. nothing to compare with black people but we could feel it a little bit ..
many people don't know her catalogue (just the top hits). She has many better songs that show off her range. These are a few:

ua-cam.com/video/X66V_hHo-yw/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/-vo3x4KQG6w/v-deo.html
She sing the song effortless and not oversing it. With feeling.. so beautiful
I disagree. Imo, Celine was just loud. A lot of people equate loudness with impressive singing. But it's not.
@@missbumblebee8633 lol go take a listen to aretha's version of this song. If celine is loud, what then do you make of aretha's? Stop being a hater, honey.
@@missbumblebee8633 jelous detected here hahaha...if celine is loud then you are noisy...lol
@@missbumblebee8633 t I listened to the version of aretha! so aretha has more low notes! on the other hand here celine sings with a 80% chest voice, while aretha sings with 65/70% of chest! Celine sings more on ers chest ans mask voice with volume !! for that we hear the rapsy voice! but this is superb! I would say that here celine invents a new version of this song! more roknroll ... this is superb !! Celine could use without problem her mixed voice to look more like the voice of aretha! they have very similar voices anyway !! put aretha is more sou
@@missbumblebee8633 . A lot of people equate loudness with impressive singing. But it's not. you say !! sorry but 51 years its impressive !!!!^^
Céline..... INCOMPARABLE, UNMATCHABLE, UNBELIEVABLE!!!..... Respect!!!...
yessss ^^
Hard song to sing, yet she still managed to do so after so many years and at her age. Superb performance *no doubt always
Wow! I am floored and in tears. I have been a fan of Celine since her first American musical debut. And have most of her albums and already knew that she would not fail any song she sings. She and Mariah are known as the best remake artist of all time always able to make a cover sound just as great as the original artist version. This is a truly amazing performance.
I've been a huge fan of Celine's since I was a teenager - and this is a perfect example of why. What an absolutely extraordinary artist.
agree
She can sing anything 😌
Ohhh Myyy Goodness!!!
I did not know Celine had this in her.
I felt it!
The audience felt it.
I saw the tears and the smiles and the rhythm of movement in the rapture of connecting with the soul in the song!
It was AMAZING!
I don't know why I'm crying watching this. It was like Celine Dion power, running into my veins. Oh my god. I love you Celine Dion
Huy Lê love you
Céline is like a drug I need her with me every day ❤️
I cried too, beautiful voice
that is the power of soul
Celine tried it, done it and we all felt it. WOW
Maybe her life's best performance. I liked the way how she imitated the details of the original record. It's a very respectful and great work from her.
I really love this performance. When she sings "I believe I can carry on," you can hear both the power of the lyric and her own personal struggles coming through. Her voice wavers like she's trying not to cry but she pushes through. Legend.
The song resonated with her,and it showed in her performance...🙌🔥👑🙏❤
Yasss😍
I can't help but thinking of Mariah Carey watching this after what she said several times of Céline singing with Aretha...
Wreckless abandon. Celine sings knowing she can tell any story no matter where it takes her. No heights are too high, no verse is too long, no heart felt expression is to deep. Aretha and Celine are kindred spirts linked together through pure vocal perfection mixed with endless joy and ability to sing. They have always been my top two vocalists of all times.
i've just discovered this performance and i'm shocked by all this perfection.
cèline is able to mix all of her perfect vocal skills with real raw emotions and you can really feel that she was feeling every single word she was singing and that she puts all of her heart into the song.
she showed everyone she's still able to reach some real high notes and i think there were no more perfects singers to make a tribute to Aretha but Cèline .
she's a pure hearted woman, always grounded and humble,polite and kind to everyone and i love her so much.
i just wish that she'll be fine soon because i don't want her to feel any pain and i hope that she'll be able to perform again because i suppose it is one of the things that makes her feel more alive and full of joy in heart.(obviously, apart from her family )
I have watched this performance I guess at least 100 times and I never bothered to take the time to include my comments or replies regarding this heart wrenching performance! This is in my opinion, one of the best performances ( if not THE BEST) vocal performances EVER to be broadcasted by any living or nonliving recording artist!!!!!!! I don't know if Celine will ever see my reply
But if she does, I would like to tell her that she touched my heart, my mind, body and soul with every performance she so elequantly gives us! .
Amazing tribute. I am crying. Thank you, Miss Céline Dion.
the ending is like a whistle. Celine Dion Forever and ever one of the divas and one of the trinity.
Celine sung this song because she is respectful and fearless. Legendary
This is how you tribute a queen PROPERLY! Fantastic perfomance!
She is undoubtedly exceptional in every single way, one of the last *REAL* artists this planet will see for a very long time.
Amaizing miss Dion.
A legend honoring a legend! GREATNESS!
Such a brave diva..You could tell her voice was starting to falter in the last third of the performance..But she prevailed..She pushed herself, and though it was unhealthy of her to do, she did it..
Audience were like feeling the moment. When Celine sang that high note welp ✨🌸🙌
Tooo much. Too much talent and skills perfected by experience and discipline. Celine is one of a kind the only one nothing compares
When LEGENDS Sing ...
Celine Dion is a one of the best vocal goddess the world has ever produced...
The Vocal trinity's
LAWD HAVE MERCY!! Ms Celine took us to CHURCH!! All those thumbs down people are asses. They know DAMN well Celine SANG THIS. At some points her voice even sounded a little like ReRe's. You can tell this lady grew up listening to Aretha and other great soul artists. YESSSS!!
She's one of the best singers ever.
With all that’s going on currently, we need this flawless performance now more than ever ❤️
A change DID come! People in the 1960s would have never imagined that someday you would have white folks paying tribute to a black legend like Aretha Franklin!
The day CAME for white folks. Black folks have always know our power, talent and strength.....
I am not even going to touch that..
Yes, and she did it justice.
Ndahiro Shemsa then I will! Not speaking for you either! If this man thinks this beautiful rendition of this song sang by Celine Deion accounts for change in this country he is absolutely out of bounds! We all as humans should care for one another but it’s clear that the deep rooted history in this country is still having its affect on the entire human race! I say entire human race cause the USA influences the entire worlds way of being and thinking for the most part. From entertainment, dress styles to how we treat people of colors! There’s still lots of hidden hate and divides and more cause it’s been taught from generation to generation. When adults decided this stops with our generation and teach their children to love no matter what the next individual looks like then and only then will that reflect true change! Céline Deion sang the heck out of that song too! Great job by her
You said it Andy Saenz.
