And more recently, Céline Dion approved Kelly Clarkson after the singer and show host performed an emotional cover of Dion’s hit, “My Heart Will Go On,” on her show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. On the September 27 episode, Clarkson sang the composition to commemorate her victory in the American Idol singing competition. She delivered a soul-touching performance that also depicted her versatility in singing.
Dion was one of the first to notice the performance and, taking to social media, she congratulated Clarkson for giving a passable rendition of the Oscar-winning Titanic love theme. Which was not only one of the most iconic songs by Dion but also one of the most popular and known songs of all time?
That was the song “My Heart Will Go On.”. This ballad is by James Horner and Will Jennings and was incorporated in the sound track of the 1997 Basin Cinemax film Titanic and that original performance by Celine Dion is simply timeless.
From the outstanding high-pitched notes and powerful words put into the song, this song demands voice control and deep power skills in singing that shocked everyone when Clinton performed with Beyoncé on the song, but with regard to Clarkson, she equally impressed everyone when she did her version.
I saw only Clarkson’s rendition, and Dion herself also took to social media to heap praise on Clarkson after the show, tweeting, “Bravo @KellyClarkson!” You sang it beautifully! It’s always a pleasure when somebody listens to one of my songs, let alone choosing one out of many and even trying to perform it in his or her own way.
This kind of acknowledgment coming from Dion, a music icon in her own right, was a big moment for Clarkson and fans were also happy to see the Canadian superstar settle for what Clarkson has to offer artistically. Singing cover songs became something of a tradition on Clarkson’s show, so of course she had to perform ‘My Heart Will Go On’. The performer has earned significant favor with viewers by Outupe singing new twists into familiar songs.
Similar to Dion’s power ballad, Clarkson gave the song a soul while also attempting vocal acrobatics, both of which were well-liked by the audience and the original’s fans. Yet, it appears most touching when Dion celebrates Clarkson, as both artists received critical acclaim for their powerful voices and sincere performances.
In recent years, the ‘Before You Say Goodbye’ hitmaker has publicly announced that Dion was one of her role models. Of course, it must have been even more special for her, as she is an admirer of OK Go, to get such high praise from her favorite musician. Clarkson, the cover was just the next one in the never-ending list of the categories of the songs she can sing.
Whether she is performing pop songs, soulful ballads or signature songs such as Titanic’s “My Heart Will Go On,” she still rises to the occasion and amazes fans and artists alike with her strong voice. But of course, with the endorsement of Dion herself, it can be said that Clarkson took the famous Titanic song and turned it into a hit, which catapulted her into becoming one of the most sought-after vocalists to date.
