Céline Dion’s emotional response to Kelly Clarkson’s My Heart Will Go On cover
Céline Dion fought back tears as she praised Kelly Clarkson’s rendition of her hit single “My Heart Will Go On,” from the 1997 film Titanic.
Céline Dion is giving Kelly Clarkson her stamp of approval.
After the American Idol winner opened the Sept. 27 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show with a cover of Céline’s signature song, “My Heart Will Go On,” the Canadian chanteuse commended the talk show host for her rendition of the Oscar-winning Titanic tune.
“You were absolutely incredible,” Céline raved in a video posted on Instagram Oct. 8. “Fantastic. I loved it so much.”
After her performance, Kelly, 42, admitted she only attempted to sing the power ballad because Titanic star Kate Winslet was a guest on the show that day.
“Usually I would never cover that song,” she told her audience, “because there’s some songs you don’t want to go near as a vocalist.”
In her social media post, the “Because You Loved Me” singer—who returned to the stage at the 2024 Olympics amid her battle
with stiff-person syndrome—added how moved she was by Kelly’s emotional response to her performance of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne À L’Amour.”
