Kelly Clarkson covers Celine Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ and it’s absolutely majestic

Clarkson’s rendition stayed close to the original, with her controlled vocals staying perfectly on pitch.

After her performance, Clarkson told the audience she is a huge fan of Dion.

“(Dion) really is just an incredible talent,” she said. “Her stunning performance at the Olympics was one of the highlights for me this summer.”

Dion performed from the Eiffel Tower at the opening ceremony of the Paris Games in July, where she sang “Hymne A L’Amour.”

Clarkson went on to say that normally she would stay away from the classic Dion hit but that she had a good reason for her cover on Friday’s episode.

“Usually, I would never cover that song,” she laughed after her performance. “There are some songs you just don’t want to go near as vocalists.”

However, Clarkson’s first guest of the day was one of the stars of “Titanic,” Kate Winslet. Winslet is doing a press tour for her upcoming film, “Lee.”

In their interview, Clarkson and Winslet bonded over how they both came into fame as teenagers — Clarkson won “American Idol” at 19 and Winslet was cast in her first film role at 16.  The two talked about how celebrity impacted the way they saw the world at a pivotal time in their lives.
