  • I love Celine soooooooo much but Barbara's interpretation was way too better!

  • Celine has a superb instrument and an excellent technic. But the voice is like a sirene. Its hurt my ear and my good taste. Why? Her problem is that she has not feelings. She play feelings, but behind the voice is not love, not humanity like Barbra - not spurious art. She's a girl with a great voice, but a little personality. Thats the great difference between Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand. Streisand is a realy artist. Celine is a acrobat.

  • @MrTantris1 a little slack please/ if barbra was already singing a song at the oscars and she was asked to learn and sing a song with only 24 hours notice, i don't think we would see much emotion and feeling.

  • @MrTantris1 i've listened to barbra and celine sing ne me quitte pas, i guess that must be the exception. as a matter of fact any song celine sings in her native language is full of emotion. i wonder how much emotion we would get from barbra if she sang her songs in french. not much i expect.

  • I know Barbra liked it because after seeing this wanted to sing with Celine...and They did!!!!!!!

  • I'm sorry, I love Celine's voice. But, no one performs this song better than Barbara.

  • @lourelahi agreed.

  • Wow, I'm truly a big fan of Streisand however, Celine you rocked this song and I'd wish you'd record it! Fabulous!

  • Shame about the trumpet!

  • The singer that had to sing this song was sicked and Celine was asked to sing instead with only a day to prepare. I love Celine so much because she didn't give up and she tried her best and mad it on her style!

  • It upsets me that for some reason I cannot find the original version of this song. Don't get me wrong, this version is good as well; but I want to hear the original: I haven't listened to it in a long time and I would very much like to hear it.

  • @darkdeminsion

    youtube.com/watch?v=tK4peuAODt­c

    Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams are the original singers of this song. It was the love song played in The Mirror Has Two Faces starring Barbra.

  • it really sucks when the one singing can't memorize the lyrics. it's like the singer doesn't really feel the song itself. am sorry.

  • @apolcrowe let me get this straight. a day before the academy awards celine is asked to perform a song she doesen't know. during the next 24 hours she has to sleep, eat, get ready for the biggest show in the world. get dressed ,makeup,red carpet,rehearse the song she already agreed to sing. with all this going on, you want her to memorize another song. do you feel stupid yet?

  • @MyDeweys don't call me stupid. that's just my opinion. i'm entitled to that.

  • @apolcrowe you're right, sorry

  • i finally found someone..♥♥♥

    and he is better than the rest i found

    now I'm treasured the love and time we spent with each other :)

  • ahm correct lang koh sa I'm..hahaha I poh yan :D correcting the typographical error..hhahaha :)

  • ironically, MY favorite line of the song is "my favorite line was 'can i call you sometime?'.." :D 1:25

  • 12 people with no taste watched this video!

  • 12 peoples retards watched the video and dislikes

  • I never thought she ever sing this song! THIS IS AWESOME!!

  • 1 love this songggg

  • The only woman that looks beautifully classy reading the lyrics while she sings live on the oscars. This is it, the best singer ever.

  • Chapeaux bas! Celine i love you

  • her last line sounded so sincere...

  • she can sit down and sing with so much power, salutes to celine!

  • i finally found some one...............mhine i thank God co'z he gave you to me i love you so much you are the air that i breath and the light of my life with out you i don't know what my life could be i love you soooooo much

  • she sould sings her songs....

    they fit her more.

  • fuck the trompetist, we are not with the marichis, this is NY,

  • @perryeps LOL.

  • @perryeps ha ha ha AMIN

  • Studio quality! Dion reigns!

  • WHERE IS THE STANDING OVATION???????

  • @insideurheaven you know, the Oscars, people in the audience have to be very polite, and that excess of politeness can become boring haha

  • ACTUALY THAT TROMPETIST ANNOYS ME! I WOULD PREFER JUST TO HEAR CELINE`S VOICE WITHOUT MUSIC BECAUSE SOMETIME IT`S TO MUCH ORCHESTRATION AROUND HER VOICE!!!!!

  • SHE IS THE BEST SINGER EVER! THIS INTERPRETATION IS PERFECT AND SHE DOES IT WITH SO LITTLE EFORT, SO NATURAL , SO EASY, BECAUSE SHE`S THE BEST!!!!

  • Celine is truly in a class by itself. At the last minute, she sang this song brilliantly. It's a great singer and artist in the music industry. Very professional

  • SHE GOT IT ! :D AH-MAZING ♥

  • cagao hasta los pelos el de la trompeta... jaja

  • 3:25 lol

  • Comment removed

  • why does not Barbra sing the song instead of Celine? just wondering

  • @reignraven natalie cole was supposed to sing the song. But she was down with the flue. Indeed Barbra was never in to sing her own song. I guess that’s because she’s super star and the academy awards people didn’t expect her to sing live. Something she’s quite reluctant to do

  • nebianchett@iaol.com

  • Celine is one of the most magnificent voices in our modern history...

  • amazing performance!! what a voice!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow, that was a busy night for céline!! ps am i the only one that hates that trumpet?

  • @heartbreakermdp no you're not! :) who's that guy anyway?

  • better than Straisand

  • @10elode never :P haha

  • She's one of the song's queens, and the one who will say to me that it's not true...

    Sorry so much!!

  • She's one of the few who doesn't need to lip-sync.

  • @Sunniva83 Sho don't need it, but she does, she had lipsinc many times, but off course she is an amazing singer, and a real talent and vioce, but maybe she lip, to rest the voice sometimes.

  • what a beautiful voice..

    but that shit trumpet really annoying...:D

  • OMG i LOVE HER

  • graciously stepping in you say ??? every step celine takes in her life is gracious, be it her professional or personal life. She is a truly genuine human being.

  • elliot smith should have won

  • @kjcsk8r Wrong year, moron.

  • @TwinPat90 wow dont you feel cool aggressively responding to every comment on the thread

  • @kjcsk8r :¬> Totally. And this is the second video lol I didn't it on purpose.

  • didnt eliott smith lose to this bitch

  • Wrong year, dipshit.

  • @TwinPat90 cool story bro..anyways eliott smith is better than this broad.

  • You can't even spell his name correctly, for crying out loud. His first name is Elliott, not Eliott. Also, "Miss Misery" was not better than "My Heart Will Go On", at least in my opinion. It's all subjective, I know, but I think that song wasn't good enough to win, and the Academy voters thought so, too.

  • @TwinPat90 sorry for the misspell no need to get your panties in a bunch. idk why your so defensive but okay. and in my opinion my heart will go on sounds so fake emotionless and like it was made only under contract. idk but i love elliott smith. and his real name isnt elliott so it doesnt matter if i spell it wrong. and if you cant already tell idc much abt grammar punctuation or any of that on the internet.

  • @TwinPat90 alos i found out it was the 1997 oscars..dipshit

  • Well, don't call someone a "broad" and expect people who appreciate her to embrace your statements with open arms...that's just deluded. Also, the ceremony was at the 1998 Academy Awards or 70th Academy Awards, awarding films made in 1997! Don't try me, man. I mean it.

  • @TwinPat90 okay well i never asked anyone to embrace my opinions and since this video is about celine i am not expecting anyone to take my side. well the video i watched said 1997 and he lost to this bitch. and how am i gonna trying you.wtf what are you gonna do. this is the internet your a pussy just like everyone else is on the internet. dont try to act hard. how to fuck are you gonna do an thing to me. anyway idk why your getting all huffy abt stupid celine who doesnt give a fuck about you.

  • @TwinPat90 also im not a man, thanks...

  • ...And I don't wear panties, douche.

  • @TwinPat90 its an expression asshole

  • She is.... beautiful. Made me cry.

  • oh my god ...

    the amazing !

    the perfect singer .

    Céline ... the best .

  • Adorable performance!!!

  • great celine!! just great!!

  • Now that is a vocal lesson...Celine is in a class of her own

  • magical moment

  • Hoooowoooow!

    Celine is a vocal genius. Love it!

  • Comment removed

  • What a singing lesson!

  • Wow..Celine is and will always be ''the voice''...she always always delivers live!!!

  • PERFECT

  • Arturo was playing the shit out of that trumpet honey! I love this.

  • Not a big fan but, man, is she gutsy to do this in front of Billions on such short notice. Bravo girl

  • one day's notice? she's BRILLIANT!

  • yeah it was very last minute and she is brilliant.

  • and very professional at that

  • omg.. it was excellent..

  • The last line is remarkable. It could be Barbra.

    But the rest of the song is pure Celine. Her blend with the trumpet is just fantastic (except when it's squealing).

  • The first few bars (I finally found someone, who knocks me off my feet) made me well up with tears. There's really something very special about her voice - the raw emotion in that first verse really touches me.

    When she sings, I really feel that she's feeling what she's singing, which in this case is elation at having found someone.

    This is why she's my favorite singer of all time.

  • @ltcolonel2005 "This is why she's my favorite singer of all time." -> You're definitely right. ^_^

  • this was an awesome moment - always remember.

  • This is why i fall in love with Celine Dion,i didn't know her at that time,just remember only her face,'cause my home town was so far away from a capital for me to find some of her album,

    And later i heard Streisand,sang and i thought that Celine song,but not it's Streisand's song,

    Anyway,both are my favourite singer of all times.Thanks.

  • for something that was thrown together at the last minute...this is an extaordinary performance. the addition of sandival's trumpet accompaniment was a sroke of genius. i wish i could have a recording of it.

  • me too....genius was using the trumpet as a substitute for the missing duet singer from the original. Yes indeed.

  • It's a pity Bryan Adams wasn't there to sing the song with her.

  • celine is the best

  • With one day's notice? WoW...she did great!

  • WOW!!!

  • lovely!!!!! greatest version!!!!

  • Celine really had the guts to do it. But they had a great duet together like Whitney's with Aretha.

  • why is she reading the lyrics?!?!

  • Because its not her song! and as he said at the begginning celine dion stepped in at the last minuite

  • Because she didn't know the song. She was asked to sing it a day before this performance. Not sure about you, but I couldn't memorize a song in a day, and if I could, I wouldn't want to chance it before performing on something like the Oscars.

  • she filled in at the last minute when natalie cole got sick...but it might hve been a bit of staging as well. barbra refused to do it tho it was her song (life long stage fright).

  • Céline Dion The Best Singer

  • Celine is such a good sport.

    Barbra should've sang it herself. She was in the audience.

  • Someone needs to tell Arturo to back off. He's smothering her.

  • awesome!!! Cèline i love you!!!

  • Anyone who can sing 4 head notes at the end of a song and make my whole body transcend into a heart filled magical place and make all the hairs stand up on my body, like the way she just did, deserves a standing ovation.

  • Super job. Best version.

  • This is what amazes me about some singers like Celine..

    when it's a sudden performance Celine could still handle it perfectly like she had a preparation or practice even though she did not.

  • Celie, hai reso questa canzone più sublime di quanto lo sia già,Brava!!!

  • aww bless havin the words lol. i wud need them aswell after only a days notice like

    celine is brilliant for doing this

  • no better singer than celine she is the BEST EVER! no one compares.....

  • astonishing celine

  • Fantastic with only 1 days notice too!!

  • absolutly! :)

  • great performance...:)

  • LOVE this song

  • Thank God Natalie Cole had the flu that night...

    Celines the best

  • My last message was for claytoris008 :)

  • who's the trumpetist

  • the host said "arturo sandoval"

  • Celine Dion has an angel's voice! she is so majestic

  • I love Barbra's version more but this one is great too.

    Celine Dion is also awesome singer. One of the best newadays.

  • Señor Dios!!!! que hermosa interpretacion de Celine,nos hace olvidar la amorosa voz de Barbara,me conmueve hasta los huesos,me facina esta version y sobre todo en vivo,la ADORO !!!!!,que Dios la conserve muchos años entre nosotros y sobre todo que siga siendo la reina de la musica para los enamorados,enamorados como yo !!!

  • She´s the only one. La mejor. THE BEST.

  • Wow!

  • Her throat has been touched by an angel, what a blessing to recieve such a beautiful voice!!!!!

  • actually really great.

  • Celine sounds like she was phoning this one in. Still good though.

  • Celine Dion does a fine performance, I love her version of Barbara's song.

  • Is it true that she wasn't supposed to sing the song that night and was asked to do it hours bofore?

  • yep sure is. she was already to be singing another song and became the first person ever to sing twice at the same oscar ceremony!

  • didn't you hear the host say exactly THAT before she started singing?

  • Comment removed

  • I swear, Celine Dion's voice was pulled right from heaven, I'm tellin ya. What a voice! So so nice too listen too.

  • btw, it's amazing how the time is running, it's been 11 years ago...

  • I love it!

  • When you can deliver a song so closely associated to legendary voices such as B. Streisand and B. Adams without putting everyone through unspeakable agony... it's that you've reached the top!

  • Guys watch Celine's world tour 2008! SUPERB!!! Especially the March to October 2008 tour performances. Her tour is actually on going until next year. She can hit her high notes with ease. I love her moves! Fantastic! After her show in Vegas for like 5 consecutive years (performing every night!), she decided to do this tour. She is 40+ but her voice oh my!!! Watch her performances in her tour with these songs... It's A Man's World, All BY Myself, Power Of Love, I Drove All night and a lot more.

  • Celine Dion is legendary! She has "the one and only" voice. Nobody can sing like her. No wonder she was awarded the legendary award and also got the diamond award. She is hailed as the best selling female artist of all time. She is the most flexible artist I've ever seen. Can sing different types of songs. Can dance and sing gracefully at the same time. Also, she is very witty and humorous especially in her interviews. On top of that, she is humble unlike other artists. More power Celine!

  • This is all so true I feel exactly the same about Celine!! Don't forget what a wonderful wife and mom on top of all that...she is an inspiration

  • well not so great a mom, she has forgotten to cut her son's hair since he was a born, last time i checked a few months ago

  • Well SiE that is your opinion but I don't judge people by the lenght of their hair! He likes it long and thats all that matters She is a wonderful mom and much much more. The most well rounded person from what I've seen...She's got it all going for her...

  • hi! first of all celine is a great artist and i like her very much, as a singer and as a person, but that hair issue is just weird, i mean what is her problem with scissors? even she cuts her hair why not the boy? i once saw her in an interview saying her son didn't want his hair cut, and i wondered Is he educating himself? i mean does he make all the decisions? you dont ask your child that! what if he says he likes to wear skirts and earings? be honest and don't tell me you wouldn't judge

  • Her wants his hair long, what is wrong with that? Michel Dion also has his hair long, and that is Celine's older brother. Men sometimes have long hair, big f-in deal, that doesn't mean she is a bad mother, and she actually has a constant tutor that traveled with her on tour for her son .

  • To SiEtln1,

    Go be homophobic somewhere else.

  • i'm good here. but thanks! congratulations on being really modern and avant garde

  • whats ur problem,? celine has got beautiful hair and suits it like long, are u jealous because your bold.....

  • lol bless the man on the trumpet at 3.28 he's ready to pass out

  • ...and Babs in the bathroom!!!

  • Celine Dion Inbody all the singers!!! look that is the same to barbra steisand!! Oh she`s been sing in the ceremony of academy 7 times My GOd!!1

  • this is the woman of the century !

  • Wow, it's just beautiful, it's pretty amazing,it's wonderful. Céline is the ebst singer ever, she always sings with heart

  • breathless

  • amazing

    =)

  • A * M * A * Z * I * N * G !!!!

    Imagine what it would have been with a week to rehearse..if this brilliant performance was only after one day of practise.

    And Sandoval's trumpet is out of this world

  • what a professional person she is!

    my idol, celine, this is so beautiful.

    oh my gosh!

  • such an excellent version... celine has an awesome voice xxx

  • Is much better the original version!

    Celine Dion is good! but with Bryan Adams and Barbra is really amazing!!!!

  • i love this song is amazing

  • If I could have that voice...Arrrggghhh just amazing...:-)

  • This demonstrate the big professionnal that lady is. Cause she had only a day to know that song. The oscars were on monday night and she knew it on sunday night that she'll sign that song. I'm laughing when i read comments, Barbara is better, or i like real version better, blablabla. Just imagine, that you have only one day to practice it and performing live on the same day in front of million people. THIS IS PURE PROFESSIONNALISM !

  • Such a good performance. She actually made the song sound, like, good. If only she could have released it as a single. . .

  • i want to see the violin version

  • well done. excellent celine as usual.......
