Gorgeous - I remember loving Celine again after seegin and hearing this - amazing - her vocals are spot on - that last note - spine tingling - shivers...and brings me to tears...the emotion!
This was the first time I'd ever heard Celine. If you recall, the '96 Olympic was held in ATL. I was watching this live on TV from a nearby Georgia city and thought, "Wow! Who is this li'l white girl blasting thru GA like THAT?!" (This was back in the day, before everyone & their mamas started trying to sing "black." In other words, in the more power, belting style w/ riffs, runs and all. No racism intended--just stating a fact.) Anyway, I was totally blown away and have been a fan ever since!
this is sung wonderfully live, cuz if you've heard the audio version, she added alot more to this live version to have the emotion really stand out:) phenomenal!!!

mime? Lick syncing? What's the point? Why bother showing up if you're not going to sing live? I love the song & her voice, but gracious... lousy performance... but worth since Mrs. Clinton's hairstyle! :p
I loved this song when she did it for the 96 Atlanta Olympics. I have it on my iPod from the CD i purchased. But let me tell you all, I taped the opening ceremonies on video tape and when I went back 2 years later to watch the opening ceremonies, how about my hubby had taped over it with porn. I could have kicked his azz.
How can anyones even consider that this is not live??!!This is the Olympics for crying out loud, not just some late night talk show...Even so, some one like Celine Dion does not need 2 mime...anything
I believe it is live, I have the CD version and you can tell there is a few differences like at 3:52, that high note Celine does is not on the CD, :-)
How could you say that ? This IS LIVE!! when she sang this her voice reached 3.5 BILLION People around the world! Now What Other Artist Would Be Able To Hit A Note Like That ?

shes a copy cat, shes DIVA wanna be, but never make it to the US cos she doesnt have her own style, always copy song, yes she has high note but she copied it like any other filipino singer
celine is so great, this is my favorite song!!! i love her voice, such powerful and inspiring!!! i think celine's voice is higher than regine's (STILL)
celine is so great, this song is my favorite!!! i like her voice, such powerful and inspiring!!! she's my number one idol no matter what!!! i think celine's voice is higher than regine's (STILL)
This is live! Celine gasped for air as she ended the song, she never ends a note that way in studio tracks (b'coz she gets to rest). Celine prepared like an athlete on the days leading to the opening ceremonies, she does wonders especially when her voice is in top shape . . . unbelievable? believe it!

regine is not a copycut she wants others to see how to sing the song properly in live singing, let other divas sing regine's songs, i bet they couldn't reach regine's high notes, but regine can sing all songs of other divas, that is the big difference
you need to shut up... Regine can never ever hold a can to Celine. Tell me something, if Regine was good then why would have to scream the last part of the song just to let us know that she can sing the song.

don't get mad,if you are not affected and if regine is not good, then why get mad at her? are you affected?btw, regine is not screaming, she is singing belting the highnotes, screaming is just shouting without getting the tune and without vibratto,let a child scream/shout, he will just scream and doesnt care even if w/o getting the right tune and without vibratto,ok
What a such beautiful lyrics. I recorded the Opening Ceremone in 1996 and been used to whatch and listen this performance several times through several months after...
I was in the army during the 1996 Centinnial Olympic Games. My unit was there giving support for the national guardsmen and reservists. I had the unique pleasure to be a small part in the Olympic Games in Atlanta, I will always remember being there.
