Did Celine Dion Almost Reject ‘My Heart Will Go On’? | WWHL

[@KevenTalks]

OMG her demo became the final version?! Talk about a great vocalist...

[@yneh9128]

I don't think this is true! the version at the end of the movie is different than the official one

[@DJMichaelAngelo]

@@yneh9128 she meant her demo VOCAL take was all that was ever recorded....producing the instrumental behind it (with the orchestra, etc) THAT was done separately and maybe more than once....she talks about this anecdote in her autobiography too, she was sick the day they pitched the song to her, but her husband insisted she sing the song at least once, even just a rough demo vocal, and so she did :)

[@blondebestalbuminhistory1316]

@Christina Aguilera TV but all versions are exactly the same except the last note which is longer in one. They could have cut the note for her album version. It doesn't really mean that she re sang it

[@jmpl_aaren]

It’s 100% true! The vocals on the Titanic version were kept basically raw, but the producers on her album added layers of vocal effects (to match the rest of the album) and trimmed the last note. I always thought the soundtrack version was more intimate. The very, very rough demo is on KZbin. You should look it up!

[@PhoenixMinistry]

KevenTalks Right?!? One take! And yes, the producers just clipped the last note. She “climbs” in the soundtrack version, but it is sustained in the radio version. It’s the same take, the same vocal, just edited differently. She sang the song ONE time.

[@AndySaenz]

She did ONE TAKE of My Heart Will Go On for the demo and that’s the actual recording! That’s why I call her Queen Celine. 👸🏻

[@FacheChanteDeux]

Celine is a pure class act.

[@Nazaba09]

Every time she says the demo for MHWGO is whats on the soundtrack, I wanna punch a wall. WHO SINGS LIKE THAT ON THE FLY?! 😂

[@PortiaMonique]

Wow!!!! “My heart will go on” was a freaking DEMO 😳! I love her, she’s INCREDIBLE ❤️❤️❤️🤣

[@Deva7]

I thought her MHWGO recording was so emotional and moving, and it turns out it was 'business as usual' for Celine and she only recorded it so her husband would leave her alone LOL

[@bkirstie]

i love that story… don’t like the song but she also said after she saw the movie, she d try it

[@noemistephanie93]

Lmao that’s crazy to think she didn’t wanna do the song cause honestly no one else could sing it like her

[@jayg5391]

So basically she was like “Ugh. Okay.”

[@AndrewsRoom]

THE DEMO IS THE RECORDING WTF!

[@j-art0221]

She did the song in one take only. That's how good she is.

[@iloveflauta]

I Love you Celine

[@CountryCowboy008]

You can really see how humble she is. It's so refreshing! Mariah, take some notes.

[@milokors9261]

Mariah is also very humble. She only shades the people who come after her. And her diva act is just for fun. She is a very straightforward person rather. Plus, Mariah is more talented than Celine. In vocal prowess they might be on more or less same level. But Mariah writes her songs and co-produces them. She is a complete musician unlike Celine and Whitney who only have the vocals.

[@CountryCowboy008]

@@milokors9261 and Celine is VERY HUMBLE about not being able to write her own songs. She's very outspoken about it. Mariah, well, she thinks that she's still as talented as her prime days. She even blamed different people for her NYE mishap! And no, she's bitchy and shady and diva in a bad way. She came after JLo because of speculations. JLo never even bothered to mention her name before the infamous "I don't know her" mess.

[@milokors9261]

Countrycowboy08 JLo stole Mariah’s songs with help of Tommy Mottola. Of course Mariah will always hate her. Tommy and JLo were trying to sabotage Mariah’s career in 2001. While Mariah only threw a shade at her. Mariah shows great love and respect for people who are good. But if someone hurts her she gives it back to them. Celine is a very gentle and sweet kind of person, while Mariah is very honest and outspoken. Both are good in their own ways. In her earlier years she was also very gentle but her life experiences made her outspoken. Celine had a very loving husband, while Mariah’s husband Tommy abused her in all ways and later cheated on her with JLo and tried to sabotage her career. Both had opposite experiences of marriage. And obviously, Mariah still won’t have the same voice as she did in 1990s. She had the problem of nodules since childhood and this problem will only get worse with age. But she has nothing left to prove. Americans need to respect a living legend like her. She is cherished by the world and is the pride of USA. But because of all hate she gets she doesn’t feel comfortable performing in her own country anymore. Watch her performances in China in 2019, her voice is in such a good shape and she feels so comfortable and valued. We Asians love her very much and would pay millions for her performances. Hope she does more shows here in Asia where people value and respect her.

[@jaypay8954]

Milo Kors JLo didnt steal anything!! Quit blaming JLo for Mariahs failures. Its Mariah dumb self for getting involved with her boss and married the guy. She mixed buisness with pleasure yet JLo is blamed for stealing songs?? Like thats is a complete lie she would have been sued a long time ago. Blame her ex not JLo ok 😌

[@angellopez799]

really??? all I can say is WOW!!!!! 😱

[@AnasSyriano]

Hey y'all Yes it was a demo. She even had an espresso right before recording it which caused the vibrato you hear in her voice at "Faaaaaar" and "Oooooonce mooooooore". I read that in her biography. Céline doesn't drink anything except water prior to recording her songs, and the fact that she had coffee that day (which irritates the vocal chords) shows that she hadn't taken the whole recording session seriously.

[@KickinitMary]

I love her 😍

[@MrBegliocchi]

technically she recorded my heart will go on twice. theres the version on her album lets talk about love and the version on the titanic soundtrack. they sound almost the same but theyre two different takes/recordings. im guessing she recorded the longer titanic version first and that was the demo.

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

Ok enough, she told this story time and time again.

Most legends have to tell the same story over and over again because they touch different generations. Look at the thread here. Most people didn't know she recorded My Heart Will Go On in one take. It is something that should always be celebrated.

[@jaypay8954]

Celine always came off snobish. She has that sarcastic attitude and she always seems to be pissed when someone tries to make her laugh. I dont know if its because she is a canadian french and they act more prudish and sarcastic and have a more dark humor but ome thing her interviews arent the best great singer which I think people kiss her butt which feeds this diva attitude.

[@KM-cu7he]

it's the dry and deadpan Canadian sense of humour. She is the kindest person. Have you ever heard anyone say anthing bad about this woman, No because she is scandal free who adores performing for her legion of fans. And after 30 years she still says she'd be nowhere without them.

[@Momtopreemie]

The fame has gone to her head. She literally dedicated that song to her late husband. But yet it didn’t “appeal” to her. She lies a lot. She’s got interviews stating the opposite. That movie is what really brought her fame. Yes, she’s talented, but- that movie made her.

[@speeddrawingamateur688]

Whats the problem about that? Celine is great and the movie helped her a lot so thank God shes in the movie so the world came to know her talent!

[@alandrake2692]

Since James Honer's death I've read that he only ever had Celine Dion in mind when he was composing the music. This is not true. Horner always wanted Norwegian singer, Sissel Kyrkjebø to sing the soundtrack to Titanic because he knew her voice was superior. The film's producers wanted Dion because her name was more familiar to audiences in America. However Sissel did sing most of Titanic's score and Horner chose Sissel to perform "My Heart Will Go On" on both world premiers of Titanic 3D (2012) and Titanic Live (2015)
