Nobody with any sense would cover Tina Turner. Except she did. And killed it! This absolutely destroyed me.
Yes, me too and I'm from Quebec. Same sentiments exactly. I mean... I will now listen to Tina Turner. Cannot reconcile how I love both equally.
I love her shout-out and wink to Tina - such a class act!
Celine is a better singer than Tina Turner
I love the Celine Dion's version better. Incredibly powerful.
Take that Rolling Stone
🎯❣️
I understand dont
@@toews711 are you trying to say "i don't understand" because the way you said it.. doesn't make sense. My original comment is in reference to a Rolling Stone article that was citing the top singers of all time, and Celine Dion was controversially not on that list whatsoever.
@@MedalionDS9 Achso jetzt kapier es
@@toews711 I have no idea what you are saying.
I rank this performance as one of the all time great singing performances ever on television.
Thanks in no small part to Paul Schaffer's kick-ass arrangement.
Agreed!!
Yes, high energy beat , hard not to get those feet sit still. Lol
That’s actually what no autotune sounds like
Celine Dion is an Icon. Rolling Stone was just desperately seeking clicks by pulling this stunt for their pointless and laughable list. The world knows she’s one of the greatest singers ever.
Rolling Stone is irrelevant and always has been,second only to the NME
You're probably bang on.
For
It's better than her studio version. Gosh, she is a firecracker 🧨
I come back to this video often for a kick in the ass. Celine gives the ultimate tribute to Tina Turner with a performance for the ages. This is particularly poignant today as we just lost Tina at the age of 83. Tina was proud of this performance and Celine should be proud of this as well. Special note to Paul Shaffer and the band for knocking this out of the park. RIP Tina ..!
I like this version of Celine: singing loud and raunchy, and wearing casual clothes and hairstyle.
Rolling Stone is a corporate publication and nothing like what the Rolling Stone of the 1970s. That's showing them Celine. Thanks for this, Letterman folks.
5 of Dave's "She blew the roof of the dump" awards are given
One word: resonance!
Hey, Madge. THIS IS WHAT REAL TALENT LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are they comparable?
She’s got the Elvis vibe here. Amazing!
This is not a voice it is a force of nature.❤❤😮
Greatest Female singer of all times!!!
Paul is so happy playing along with her.
He wishes that he could have been in the studio with Tina Turner and Phil! Me too!
Very addicted to this video.
Damn! Celine rocked that one!
Whoa! Celine is an amazing singer!
Gosh, she was a baby. .such an awesome voice always!
Been listening to this all day. This is definitely the best version she's done. I've seen others in concerts where it's more polished but that detracts from the rawness of this performance. I think this is equally as good, dare I say it, or even better than Tina Turner!? Pure class, what a gift...
Absolutely agree with all you're saying, by far the best version ever. i remember pretty well that night on Letterman when i taped her performance on VHS and watched it over and over, so glad i can enjoy that in HD on YT !
tina turner version is more edgy and more raw. tina's voice has more weight than celine's voice. and the scratchiness of tina's voice adds rawness to the song.
I'm not a fan of Céline Dion, but I have to admit that this performance was pretty amazing.
The Best Pop singer of our time.
This is better than the album performance. Better than the Vegas residency, from what I've seen on TH-cam. She's hungrier here.
I noticed on the album version, she mispronounced a lot of the words too in the song as well.
RIP 🕊 Tina.. Thank you Celine for giving her and the song Justice
Amazing performance.
Legend.😊
Indeed!
Easily the best she ever sounded doing this song.
Incredible voice! One of the best ever!
Wow, what a voice.
Celi
Celine has pipes.
Deserves every accolade.
One of the Greatest Pop Diva of all time
Top class singing from a top class act. A rare thing these days, and then to be honest.
I remember seeing this when it aired and it was mindblowing!!!
My wife and I waited for the rerun and taped in on cassette - we wore it out. THIS IS THE BEST VERSION EVER RECORDED!
Me too.
There are two women that nailed this song just as hard as Tina did, and both of them did it on Letterman --Celine Dion and Darlene Love.
Hopefully we'll get an official upload of the Darlene version!
I would also say Ann-Margret too, she has song in duet with Tina as an equal
I loved Cyndi Lauper and Tom Jones's version too!
Another flower of the Quebec barren cold lands... And Dave's got the book on it! lol Take that Rolling Stone Mag! lol
Damn Celine. This was intense! 🔥🔥🔥
This song would later go on to be one of Céline's most frequently performed songs. No other performance since quite recaptured the magic of this first here though. I find the Paris 95 performance interesting because she seems somewhere halfway between this and what we got on Falling Into You. My 2nd place for this song is probably the 2007 vegas dvd. It has a different energy than this but really works.. After nearly 9 years of not singing this song (otherwise being a staple in setlists), it sounded really fresh, concentrated, and powerful.
It's Tina Turner's song really, but her version might be the most performed one tho
Another great Celine performance.... that "you gotta believe me" @ 3:07 seals the deal ....... period!!!
Without doubt her best version of this song! Dare I say it this is better than the original!
We just got a live performance of this song at the Colour of My Love Tour from Birmingham and it sounds almost like this version. Its also incredible
It’s not even close to the original gtf
@@riannadohertyy7246yeah its 10x better
Wow! 😲 Amazing! 😁 She didn't disappoint with this powerful Tina Turner number! Celine is awesome! 🤗😀
2:49 cheeky Tina mention.
That's 💯% LIVE... the voice is so crisp! 👏
Rolling Stone should get their heads out of their asses and re release the list of greatest singers of all time with Celine on top! I am not a Celine Dion fan at all, but this performance was absolutely spectacular! Ok, I'm a fan now!😍🇨🇦
Excellent voice
Always so lovely! Get well, Celine! Don't worry about silly RS lists. You have a voice of an Angel.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! POWER!
why does so much of this comes out many yrs later...love it...look how young she was..
I wish she did Alone by Heart during this era, her voice was much stronger she didn't lose her thick sound to achieve higher notes and actually does the distortion and twang well enough for that rock edge. I think rock songs suit her like a glove.
During this era she could not have replicated the high note from the original. Her range she gained after she started thinning it out and adding more of a twang into her mix is what allowed her to actually hit the high note.
Wow.
You rock Celine. Love you forever ❤
Wow! Wow! Just Wow!
I’ll never forget this very moment in 1994. My husband and I in our early 20’s, were watching Letterman & BOOM . . . this newbie to “us”, bowled us over with her powerhouse voice. We’d not yet been acquainted with Celine, but you best believe she hit our radar with this performance, and we were so excited to have a new voice on the scene with such tremendous talent.
Incredible performance of a powerful song!!!
Just, wow!
This changed my opinion of her in under a minute.
You would change your opinion even more when you discover her 87-94 performances. She was so raw, powerful and fun back then. A very fitting voice for rock I must say, she seems to do grit so well.
She can sing any genere !
This version from ten years ago shows a much healthier, more natural and more powerful Celine. Best ever!
10 years ago? This is like 30 years old now. 😮
this is from 30 years ago… 1994
Celine Dion is perfection
i love her so much
Never disappoints 🙂🙃❣️👏
Wonder if she and Tina ever went on together. Probably no speakers could handle the wattage.
I have loved Celine Dion for years 😍 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💖 💓
I saw this when it first aired and it was the first time I had ever heard Celine Dion sing. I was blown away!
Rolling Stone has always been, and will always be, about what and who they deem to be cool or not. End of story.
Favorite of all time
i miss you celine. always praying to see you perform live again 💙
Fière de notre Céline. Talentueuse pas à peu près. 🇨🇦
I happened to find this video it's one of my favorite songs by Tina Turner and I love it I wasn't born until 1981 and I love her music since I was a little girl❤
Honestly she sang far better than Tina Turner. Any reason for that recording being superior is the benefit of being the first version and the associated nostalgia. But objectively speaking Celine's performance is the musically superior version.
She sings far better than most vocalists you could think of but each are treasured for their own uniqueness and talents
Powerful - put your speakers up to 11 and feel the power. Woo!
Every time I watch this it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! Damn she could sing!
Show this to Rolling Stones!
AWESOME
Just amazing!!! I hope she's able to live a long life considering her illness. To me, she's the best singer ever! And a wonderful person.❤❤
Amazing Celine Dion
En direct.........C'est,c'était.....exceptionnel 😊
The one and only 🤌🏻🤌🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥
Right at the top she was getting ready to record FALLING INTO YOU.
Once again! Wow!!
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉
Back up singers never get enough credit
Wow the backup up singer on the far right is gorgeous!!
Quelle voix ! Quelle performance !
3:05-3:15 is perfection. Just as good as the studio recording. Wow!
She is a class act! Imagine Cheryl Tweedy, Cole, Have a Cheese Sarni, Tweedy try and sing that - without auto tune!? Even with it she wouldn't be fit to lick Celine's boots. Absolutely phenomenal, and she makes it look effortless ...
Divaa❤
Heart, soul, passion and sweet. She's awesome.
WOW!!
And she continued her later years just doing it even better and better
Celine as a soul artist, who would have thought!
This is the first song I've heard from her. Heard of her just didn't know her music.
Wow!! The best female vocalist on the planet!!
I think she's gonna go far in her career, I can tell 😉
She already did that was a long time ago
@@melaniepoulin7518 I think that was what they meant. They were being playful. Of course Celine is an icon now.
My god!!! That was amazing!!
Just look at Paul go - epic moment!! 🌟
Magnificent
OMG
Uauu Celine arrasando, ninguém melhor do que a Tina para contar essa música,mais Celine brilhou garota merece meu coração ❤
Wow!
