    I come back to this video often for a kick in the ass. Celine gives the ultimate tribute to Tina Turner with a performance for the ages. This is particularly poignant today as we just lost Tina at the age of 83. Tina was proud of this performance and Celine should be proud of this as well. Special note to Paul Shaffer and the band for knocking this out of the park. RIP Tina ..!

    Been listening to this all day. This is definitely the best version she's done. I've seen others in concerts where it's more polished but that detracts from the rawness of this performance. I think this is equally as good, dare I say it, or even better than Tina Turner!? Pure class, what a gift...

    • @Quedlaclasse

    @Tcottong Год назад +23

    This song would later go on to be one of Céline's most frequently performed songs. No other performance since quite recaptured the magic of this first here though. I find the Paris 95 performance interesting because she seems somewhere halfway between this and what we got on Falling Into You. My 2nd place for this song is probably the 2007 vegas dvd. It has a different energy than this but really works.. After nearly 9 years of not singing this song (otherwise being a staple in setlists), it sounded really fresh, concentrated, and powerful.

    I wish she did Alone by Heart during this era, her voice was much stronger she didn't lose her thick sound to achieve higher notes and actually does the distortion and twang well enough for that rock edge. I think rock songs suit her like a glove.

    • @adamsamess2163
      @adamsamess2163 Год назад +1

      During this era she could not have replicated the high note from the original. Her range she gained after she started thinning it out and adding more of a twang into her mix is what allowed her to actually hit the high note.
