2 years later- and your reaction is just as precious💖 Thank you. Stay safe & love big.

[@celine4evauk]

They chose to do this song as it was a hit for Elvis in 1968 - the year Celine was born. Its my favourite Elvis song. It represented so much - as Elvis fans have pointed out LOL. I was so skeptical when i heard they were doing this, purely because i thought it would look rubbish. It looked great, from the moment they walked out "together" - i love it. And you can still love Elvis' original in all its glory people!!

[@wrestlingterrier8366]

Only Celine could have pulled it off. No other female voice would have meshed so well with Elvis's amazing voice. Great job!

[@ChefBarb58]

Your absolutely right❤ SHE Admired ELVIS ALOT. SHE SAID IN INTERVIEW WHEN SHE WAS IN Canada LISTENING to him helped her SING in English.. true story😊

[@joycesepulveda6624]

Celine is a good singer too. But Elvis does that song best. No one will ever top his. Elvis forever 🎸😍

[@mmklb3642]

Celine is best

Better late than never to discover the brilliance of Elvis...he touches your soul with everything he sings....so much more to discover.

HELLO ALL, THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING AND YOUR GREAT COMMENTS. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS. BUT, I WANT TO ADDRESS ONE THING! MY CHANNEL IS ALL ABOUT SUPPORT AND ENJOYING GREAT MUSIC AND ARTIST. IF YOU GUYS DO NOT LIKE CELINE DION ON THE SONG WITH ELVIS THAN THAT'S TOO BAD BECAUSE WHAT'S DONE IS DONE. I LOVE THIS VIDEO! MY OPINION. BOTH ELVIS AND CELINE SOUNDED AMAZING. ALSO, JUST BECAUSE I REACTED TO THIS VERSION DOES NOT MEAN I WILL NOT REACT TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION WITH JUST ELVIS. IT'S JUST ONE VIDEO GUYS PLEASE CALM DOWN AND STOP BASHING CELINE DION. I AM JUST NOW GOING THROUGH ELVIS WORK SO, I WILL REACT TO ANYTHING I SEE HIM ON OR FEATURED ON. PLEASE JUST ENJOY THE SONG, VIDEO AND ARTIST. IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. STAY BLESSED AND SAFE EVERYONE. WE HAVE REAL ISSUES THAT MATTER. PRESIDENTPAT,

[@warrendelay]

Going through Elvis's work? this wasn't Elvis's work. subscribed and unsubscribed in the same hour,,, LOL,, like many others probably.

[@TheEccho]

I'm one who left a somewhat negative comments, but this is not about bashing Celine Dion, or the technical and vocal aspect of it. This was a message song, where the lyrics were meant to touch people, and no matter how great Celine's vocals were, it's obvious she did not connect with it. Maybe since she did not live through the turbulent social unrest of the sixties, she didn't get what this song was all about. Anyway, I think that's where the negative comments come from, because the message gets completely lost in this version. Watching both versions is actually interesting because we get to see the difference when an artist sings a song perfectly, but without connection to the lyrics, and when the other deeply feels the song. Hope this explain things a bit, so that you don't let the comments bother you too much. To take your own advice...it's just one video, (with a few bad comments).

[@lisaray9944]

Your reaction was wonderful . This reaction brought me to your channel . I love Elvis so much . My first concert was Elvis in 1972 in Fort Worth Texas. When they announced this was about to happen I was like what . We watched and we where in love with this rendition of the song . I still love the original , the meaning of the song and at the time . Knowing he left the stage the first night he sang the song . They say he fell to the floor in tears . You should check out his Duets with his daughter Lisa Marie they are beautiful and touch the heart . Seeing Elvis and his baby girl singing together just melts your heart . You have a new fan on board . Can’t wait to see what’s next .

[@jackielouise7538]

@@TheEccho Well said, I agree with you and I couldn't have put it better myself.

[@gbbryangad]

Better as a solo song I think. The message hits u harder. I think Celine would do a nice solo version herself. But Elvis’s solo is better than this duet.

[@tweetnana3]

I agree Elvis does it better alone.

[@wrestlingterrier8366]

Only Celine could have pulled it off. No other female voice would have meshed so well with Elvis's amazing voice. Great job!

[@adua78]

It’s not just that Celine’s voice is jaw-dropping, it’s WATCHING her throw down vocally with such ease and a smile on her face. No real strain or sweat involved.

[@vinvinceable]

She just sings the song, while Elvis feels it and delivers the emotion of it perfectly. No song to be smiling.

[@arthurjulien9455]

She lacked the passion he brought.

[@carolcliff5150]

Glad you enjoyed it. Celine is a fantastic vocalist. But.... Elvis on his own in 1968 with a simple background (no active lights) was much more powerful in giving meaning to the words he was singing. And he made sure you knew he was singing from the depth of his soul. Not trying to be glitzy to get attention. Not showing off. Sharing his feelings from the bottom of his heart with hope for better times.

[@janetgiddings5538]

In fact, he didn't bow or say much because he didn't want to take away from the song and it's impact❣

[@ChefBarb58]

ONE TRUE FACT WHEN ELVIS WAS DONE WITH SONG BOTH HIS ARMS WENT STRAIGHT UP TO THE AIR AND THAT WAS HIS WAY OF SAYING PEACE.... AND THEN THANK YOU, GOODNIGHT NOT MANY PEOPLE RELIZE AT THE END HE SO MUCH WANTED TO HAVE AND SHOW PEACE IN THE THIS WORLD. HE CAN SAY THANK YOU, YOUR A WONDERFUL AUDIENCE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THATS HOW HIS MOMMA RAISED HIM AND A GOOD SOUTHERN MAN DID... YOU ASK MY MOMMA AND MY GRANDMA OR EVEN MY AUNTS.. YOU SEE THEY WE'RE IN 30S AND FROM THE SOUTH... IT WAS A HARD LIFE AND ELVIS NEVER FORGOT. BLESS ALL❤

[@lizgoff5385]

The king and Queen. Celine's voice is beyond words.

[@joannedungan8381]

As much as I appreciate her voice I much prefer his solo performance of this from the 68 special. Nobody sings circles around Elvis. He's in all 4 hall of fames. Rock, R&B, County and Gospel. The only artist to have that honor

[@jennywren7822]

On the show it was a tribute artist, after this was recorded, Elvis was added from the 68 comeback special. I think Celine thought it was an honour to do this, the look on her face even to a tribute artist was wonderful. It's so real, just like he is still alive. Very emotional for all Elvis fans, I couldnt believe it when I first saw this. I have subscribed, thank you for helping to keep Mr Presley alive.... LONG LIVE THE KING ❤

[@ferns4me]

I agree with the previous comment,,Elvis only sang this song twice and the solo version is breathtaking!

[@michellejackson6679]

I've heard Celine loved him so much.. to do this video was amazing for her... to have the technology to sing with Elvis...WOW. I was 10 when he passed so Celine was 9 when he passed... this is amazing

[@patriciaesposito8941]

This was never done. I do like Celine, but this takes from Elvis’ heart at the time of assassinations.

[@susaniserhoff9361]

You need to watch his solo of this song, with that white suit, for sure you’ll enjoy it

[@katharinesullivan7029]

I love them both, what an amazing performance. What a ride if they were both here at the same time & could be each other's backups lol

[@karenj3611]

So much negativity, wow. I thought this was amazing. Loved it.

[@ianraymondback]

You need to see the only elvis version though

[@Laueee95]

That Celine mic drop was fire

[@walterhale]

I still can't fathom why so many (mainly fellow Elvis fans) don't like this duet. Two great vocalists / performance sharing a fantastic song. I think it's amazing. The only downside is knowing that there was actually an impersonator next to her, and it shows in side and back angles, but hey, it was impossible to get him, so they had to make do.

[@CD-wo3ip]

The performance was fantastic! I can't understand either why they did not like the duet.

[@VivSparro44]

There is something very beautiful about how you put this video together. The way you speak over the music in kind of a hallowed whisper is just perfect. This performance was magical. Elvis sang the heavens through his voice.

[@gerryweed7697]

The Queen sing with The King 😎👍

[@ellamoss7799]

This was Good. But U REALLY need to hear just ELVIS'S Version. It's AMAZING!!! U Won't be disappointed.

[@garrytaggart2431]

Best reaction on this song by a mile no pauses just listen & react perfect

[@sanyrub]

Celine´s voice OMG. No matter what she sings. Her skills are insane. One of the best to ever do it. Elvis... he´s wow. I can say I only discovered him (really discover I mean) two years ago. He´s something else too. Totally different type of voice of course. I don´t think they could have donde this duet better. Of course it is more spectacle while Elvis´ solo versions from the 60s are pure passion and emotion. It´s not like Celine cannot do emotion and passion with her repertoire. Recommendation: "Quand on n´a que l´amour" live at Paris from 1995.

[@kim.4100]

There is no artist like Elvis and never will be. I am so thankful to have seen him in my lifetime.

[@jwc7215]

This duet is fire, but I think the reason Elvis fans don't like this version is because of the raw emotion and pain of the original. This song was written and performed as a response to the murders of MLK and Robert Kennedy. It was a kind of special thing for him to perform it at all in the moment.

[@lindalinker5740]

Elvis and his daughter singing don't cry daddy I so awesome ,and beautiful . If u find the clip play it it is heart braking that can. Sing together

[@johnwalsh7578]

The greatest..male and female singers..I think Celine..held her own .go girl..go King .

[@Jeri_C11]

He sings that song by himself if you haven’t seen it. She joined him and it was so strange to see him next to her. He sang that once in his lifetime for MLK and would never do it again in concert. Watch him doing it alone because she sang over lots of his best parts. Thanks for showing that.

[@marlon-jl4ge]

Elvis is the greatest singer

[@SCoulombe]

My 2 idols THE BEST

[@Rosannasfriend]

It sounds great to me now. I wasn’t a fan at the time. If this comment annoys Elvis purists, they’ll have to deal with that.

[@Rosannasfriend]

That being said, I do want you to watch the version with Elvis alone. The other day when he watched another song of his, I was thinking that you should see this performance, along with him singing “suspicious minds”. Two really good choices!

[@josephmastando358]

Celine Dion is technically a great singer...but her voice sounds like the guy outside, in the morning with a 'leaf-blower!'

[@stege9979]

The difference between Elvis and Celine, to start with, is the fact of blues, soul and gospel! When Elvis sings (at least to me) it gives me shivers to the spine. He keeps that blue note so close to him all the time. Celine is great, if you like mechanical approaches. But hearing her together with Elvis is like listening to Buddy Rich vs a metronome. One will always sound the same...perfect, but soulless..the other one will surprise you. I know what I prefer.

[@MikeM275]

WOW!

[@bellestar777]

Elvis wrote this song for MLK and JFK. Elvis often gave money to MLK to help him. There’s a lot of people who talk about Elvis in videos of Elvis and the black community. One day his backup singers called him boss and he said I’m not your boss I’m your brother and in Texas the didn’t want him to do his music with his backup singers and Elvis said that’s fine I won’t be showing up if I can’t bring them. Elvis gave the backup singers a entrance right behind them.

[@ChefBarb58]

PATRICK IT SHOWS YOU REVIEWED THIS TWO YEARS AGO, WELL IF HAPPEN TO READ THIS ❤I THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR KIND WORDS. CELINE DID THIS WITH LOVE IN HER HEART AND SHE ADMIRED ELVIS AND JUST LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE CLAPPING AND SCREAMING ON THIS. I PRAY THAT CELINE'S HEALTH IMPROVES.. SO I AGAIN RESPECTFULLY APPRECIATE YOU. TAKE CARE❤

[@johnbrubaker6833]

Nicely put together...indeed both great singers...but I really don't like messing with the original. I just really like to keep the original in place for all the new Elvis fans.

[@reneeleavines8577]

Please watch Elvis do this by his self. It's sooo much better!!

[@williamquinlan2193]

This video is a pleasure. Dion's admiration for Elvis is touching. You have not insulted millions of Presley fans. If there's friction it's because one or two channels who don't like Elvis framed this video as a competition. To be fair the song was written for Presley in response to what he felt about the turbulence in the 60s and events like the assassination of MLK. He roared out the song with a soulful vehemence against the destructive forces at that time in a way that had to be toned down in volume so that Celine could match him and still look at ease in this video. The original solo is a different vibe but this duet is beautiful since you don't always have to factor in the past in order for a song to work.

[@almirandrade519]

Celine Dion canta muito e Elvis nem precisa falar

[@nickpacheco833]

I’m sorry but this version undercuts Elvis’s goal of having a transformative performance that would inspire change in our hearts. I’m a Celine Dion fan and this was I’ll advised if you heard the original.

[@ornellabarbaro3861]

The power and passion in Presley's voice is not evident in this duet. Although the hologram is amazing Presley's vocals have been somehow reduced from the original version by the creator of this hologram. But again Presley isn't sing live here as Dion is. Two extremely talented,powerful, amazing vocalists here. Beautiful duet that gave me goose bumps. Who better to do this with than Celine Dion. All that said, I prefer Elvis 68 version because you see and hear the whole song through with Elvis' true powerful original vocal impact his passion and his grief and hope while performing, If I can Dream. Well done.

[@kathwallace1811]

Love Celine but Elvis on his own...no one above him

[@justafanmiller7486]

Remember Celine got to do is as duet, Elvis made it as a solo and had no chance to bounce off Celine. I would live to hear how Elvis handled this a a duet...he would have been even better, if possible.

Love Celine and no disrespect to her but Elvis don’t need any help! He can sing any genre of music, rock and roll, country, rhythm and blues, gospel. He was the first artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Country Music Hall of Fame, Gospel Music Hall of Fame!
