The Canadian powerhouse shared an emotional video on her X account praising Clarkson for her powerful vocals

Céline Dion took to social media to react to Kelly Clarkson’s rendition of “My Heart Will Go On,” the soundtrack of the cult classic movie Titanic. The Canadian powerhouse shared an emotional video on her X account praising Clarkson for her powerful vocals.

Kelly’s tribute is part of her singing segment, “Kellyoke,” which aired on her self-titled daytime talk show. “I just saw you singing ‘My Heart Will Go On,’ and I’m crying again,” Dion said. You were absolutely incredible. I loved it so much.”

Clarkson’s love for Dion is mutual. She became emotional when she saw her perform live during the opening ceremony at the Summer Olympic Games in Paris in July. Dion sang Edith Piaf‘s “L’Hymne à l’amour” from the Eiffel Tower.

Kelly, one of NBC’s Olympic commentators alongside Peyton Manning and Mike Tirico, took a moment to appreciate the experience. “I actually can’t talk right now,” Clarkson said. “If you know anything just about Céline right now, this is her purpose… That she got through that, that was incredible. And in my field, she is the gold winner for vocal athletes.

Dion also said she was aware of Kelly’s reaction after the Olympics. “It was so sweet to hear your voice,” Dion said. “Your voice was breaking, and it touched me so tremendously.”
