It was Aretha herself, that requested of Celine that she perform at this tribute, and because Aretha was a civil rights activist and knew Dr King and his family, Celine chose this particular song. I feel she made Aretha very happy. R. I. P. Aretha, GENIUS, GODDESS OF SOUL, and thank you, from my soul to yours.
@@jak30341 I hear people planning tributes and having it while still alive so they can appreciate. At this point, the whole Aretha asking Celine to sing is more of a rumor. Probably more like family asking Celine.
Aretha's original recording key, and Celine has the agility to copy note for note, riff for riff - even though her voice isn't as beautiful as Aretha's.
Céline Dion Is the Best Singer in the WORLD!!... Legendary and ICONIC Timeless GLOBAL SUPREME Singer of all Times in Music History!!! She's Always Unmatchable!!! Undeniable and Indisputable Vocalist Ever Heard!!!! From Italy 🇮🇹
It was a sad day when we lost The Queen. Celine is a musical sponge. She’s soaked up everything. And she’s worked very hard. Here, she spoke to all of us on behalf of Aretha. And as one diva to another, I think she spoke to Aretha. Thanks.
She didn’t often put this kind of distortion into her voice but it always sounds so good lol. She has a song called That’s Just the Woman In Me where she adds this sort of distortion and it makes it sound like nothing else she ever recorded.
I love both ladies! I grew up listening to Arethia since I was a teenager in the 60's. Love the way Celine sings this song! What a beautiful tribute to Arethia. ❤❤❤
Listen to this French Catholic woman singing soul. Celine Dion is the one of the greatest, and as our host said one of the most complete singers in the pop music industry. Absolutely true. Praying that she heals from her disease.
At that point, this was her first public performance after a long hiatus from her Vegas residence due to health issues. Considering this, I find that she showed up big time for Aretha!
Ive waited YEARS for you do react to this! It’s incredible! ❤ This version makes me cry hard- as well as the audience I see! Check out one of Aretha’s most iconic and last performances at Kennedy Center honoring Carole King who wrote Natural Woman for her.
No so long before Aretha’s death, she recorded her own live rendition of “My Heart Will Go On”. She was very old, ill, and it was a home recording, so not the best quality. But it was very emotional and beautiful. It goes to show these two divas had a true connection and liking for each other, despite the drama Mariah still hasn’t ceased to perpetuate to this day.
Don’t forget decades later after that encounter between Aretha and Celine at the divas special it was at the request of Aretha herself that she ask for Celine to sing the last song at her memorium…………..Mariah was not invited just saying 😉
Celine virtually copies Aretha's original recording note for note. Maybe doesn't have Aretha's beauty of sound, but Dion's agility allows her to emulate the Queen very well.
I agree with you. She sing a Whitney Houston song in her tribute and I saw in your face that you like it. Now for Aretha. Celine can do in her way any song, but you and me feel her respect. I have to say that Jennifer Hudson perform a Whitney song when she was live and I like her so much. But Celine is out of this planet. Whitney, she was and always will Whitney. We can not compare Whitney with anybody and Celine is another that do not have nobody to compare. But, Celine have the voice and the hability to do and sing whatever we can imagine. She is the voice but she have another thing that I do not see and make her, without singing, a wonder woman and is her respect, her support for everybody (see a Lady Gaga when she began in Las Vegas after Celine) and the good, honest and beautiful person that she is 😊

So did Aretha know she was going to die soon and that they would do a tribute?
@@xrey83 most likely, if you are that famous I mean why would you not think a tribute would be put together?

SHUT UP!!! Aretha asked her???? NICEE!!!! The queen knew that Celine could do her son justice. Thanks for sharing that particular detail.
@@xrey83u dont need to die to get a tribute for u😭
In the part of “I believe that I’m able to carry on” she is almost melting in tears and the emotion she puts on it, for me, is absolutely precious
Her voice sounded like an electric guitar riff at the end
The key is very high !! What a great performance !!
It’s Aretha’s studio key. I went back to listen to the original album recording. ❤
@@jak30341 Really. This is the original key of Aretha's record version. Wow! Celine Dion is amazing.

@markdrinkwater1508 Tonal beauty is subjective but I find Celine Dion's voice is more beautiful and appealing than Aretha's.

I just love her. The distortion in her voice toward the end was perfect.
It was a sad day when we lost The Queen.

That was epic .. Celine SANG the hell out of that song 🩷🫶

Exactly, just when I heard this video reminded me on her song That's Just The Women In Me. What a voice she could do
Every time I watch this performance I cry, it's one of my favorites by Celine
Celine you knocked it out of the park amazing performance
Also, Celine definitely knows how to get emotion and the message of a song sent to the listener, no matter the genre.
So true. Celine sings 11 genres… her voice is very versatile
She's the greatest Canadian Diva.
I love both ladies! I grew up listening to Arethia since I was a teenager in the 60's. Love the way Celine sings this song! What a beautiful tribute to Arethia. ❤❤❤
It's really cool when you think about it. Aretha and the estate personally picked Celine for a tribute like this.
OMG I never clicked this fast ever!!
Sameeee👌🏼🎊🎊
There you go she was asked especially for this, the one and only!!!!!
Listen to this French Catholic woman singing soul. Celine Dion is the one of the greatest, and as our host said one of the most complete singers in the pop music industry. Absolutely true. Praying that she heals from her disease.
This is my FAVORITE performance !!! I feel the emotion
You nailed it when you said she has soul. Her husband once said - she is who you see. She has no guile so her art is from the soul.
That was beautyfull....and Celine was already sick. I hope she will sing again
I love this woman!!! ❤❤❤❤
Long live the second Queen of everything song, Celine Dion....get well soon dearest❤
Omggggg finally! So glad you did this amazing heartfelt performance
Glad to see you back with Celine!
Thank you Sir...agree with you totally!
At that point, this was her first public performance after a long hiatus from her Vegas residence due to health issues. Considering this, I find that she showed up big time for Aretha!
Probably symptoms of sps
@vincentteregeyo5236 I don't think so. SPS only occured in these recent years, circa 2022/2023
what? since she started promoting her documentary, she has stated numerous times that her symptoms started during her taking chances tour in 2008
@@Ssenahkradolleh no symptoms started showing since 2008
Hi, Oh GOODNESS what a tribute Celine...soulful. Blessings to y'all

Good imitation!!! Now let me go find aretha's version in this same tempo!!!

"what can you say to that that was céline dion" hahaha

React to Celine new song “Love Of My Life” from her new album (soundtrack for film). It’s worth it
Please play Celine singing This is a man’s man’s world live.
Please check out Celine’s version of “O Holy Night” live from her 1997 these are the special times show. A vocal masterpiece 🫶🏾👍🏾
Honneur pour Aretha
Don’t forget decades later after that encounter between Aretha and Celine at the divas special it was at the request of Aretha herself that she ask for Celine to sing the last song at her memorium…………..Mariah was not invited just saying 😉
Periot
Heck naw Mariah’s ass wasn’t invited..

Thats very common symptoms in post covid related condition
I didn't see ya on American idol you should !
They put a little auto tune on this. The videos from the audience sounded even better
Where was Mariah at this tribute? 😂
Aretha’s team didn’t invite her sour ass. This was Aretha’s way of smacking her for Celine Dion.
This was great.. But I still think Jimmy Barnes / Cold Chisel cover is still right up there in the top tier
I adore Celine, and I think she is one of the best ever, but not a fan of her doing this song. I wish she would've done an Aretha song instead.
Aretha did record this song. And Sam was one of Aretha’s very fave vocalists, that’s why Celine chose the song.
Aretha DID sing this! She was in love with Sam. She was also highly active in the Civil Rights Movement.
@@TheDivayenta I need to look that up and have a listen. Thanks for the info. 🙂
