Aged bad? No filler, no plastic surgery, lines of expresión? You mean from a performer who makes the wildest faces and gesticulation while singing. And that voice, better preserved than any of her peers. She’s a woman who dedicated her life to the stage. I love you Celine 😍
Literally that simple. I’m not sure why this is such a polarizing topic lol. Celine was the only one that night who had the vocal ability and confidence to respond to Aretha, and Aretha was clearly happy that she did.
@@ERGSEG If you are feeling daunted by a person or an entity, because of their physical presence or behavior towards you; you are being intimidated. When you are scared, you are scared about a possible outcome or about something gone bad.
@@MaryLou913 Aretha was asking the other singers to help lift the song and Celine responded. After that, Aretha and Celine covered each other's songs, and lastly Celine was the one present at the Aretha tribute. They love each other, and outside of that they're both admirable for their talent and accomplishments.
to the people that say she aged bad: i hope you know her brother and husband both died of cancer within 2 days in between 3 years ago. She was non stop working as an artist, a mother and a wife. disrespectful
unlike many artist in her circle, she chooses to age naturally. everyone else looking so much younger, well that's not normal, they got doctors for that.
And tbh, I don't know anyone (besides Cher lol) that ages and looks young and full of life on their 50's, that's not how it works. I do think it's ludicrous to make mean comments about her looks due to age or any other reason.
You can see the glowing reverence and overwhelming respect Celine has for Aretha. It flows out of her. Celine is world class. No one who ever shades Celine will stay blessed because God is real and He protects and avenges those with extreme integrity and humility, and Celine is one of those people. ❤️ I have never seen her shade anyone in the industry. She is only supportive and encouraging of other artists, especially other female artists and divas. I believe this is why she is so blessed, has preserved her voice, and is still KILLING it in the industry as a living legend despite the heartbreak she was had to endure. God bless Celine. ❤️
Aretha is one of Céline's idols since a young child. There is a picture floating around of both of them from this night. You can see how proud both were❤❤ They both clearly were enjoying riffing together.
Celine is my kind of woman! She’s the best of the best singers out there! Also love the way she answered any questions thrown to her - related to other singers with respect. You are Queen of all the queen singers around the world! My highly respect and love to you Celine will forever lives on!🥰😍😘😇🙏🏻
I love the way she acts. She cracks me all the times. It was Divas, not Aretha and the others. She was a diva that night, vocally perfect, at the top. No other could have been like Celine that night. Even Mariah was not at the top that night, her voice was deteriorating after 1997 and she was still trying to find her new voice. Whitney was a diva, and she was not there, why? ;)
Love this… A lot of people have been saying she disrespected Aretha in that moment but as she said, Aretha invited her to sing and she wasn’t gonna let that opportunity be missed!… well said
Why does it always have to be a competition?Aretha Franklin was a unique voice and Celine Dion is also a unique voice. I did not see a competition that night I saw something wonderful. Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Mariah what a unique moment but to be honest I would have liked Whitney to be there that night too.
@Mi Amor Help! A celine fan talking about lipsyng? Mariah was always better than both! Better lows, better melisma, more agility! And even today with nodules is still better! Just get them all in prime and we see that mariah managed to sing all the songs from Whitney and celine now I can't say the same thing about both!
IDK why Mariah shaded Celine back then...Cause Miss Aretha turned to Mariah and she didnt bring it up... then asked Celine (obviously 😊) " C'mon would u help me lift him..help me lift him" and Aretha clearly wanted as she danced towards her
It's called LOW SELF ESTEEM!!! Was such a dumb thing to say. Not bcuz u can't means none else can't. Mariah was jealous! Period!!! Disappointed and I'm a fan. Still am 😒🚶🏾♂️
Mariah and Celine just don’t have the same definition of respect. Celine always been weird she just wanted to have fun just like an excited little girl that night I can’t hate her.
This is true. It's not that Mariah, who btw does have a slightly bigger range than celine, couldn't "bring it" it's just that she considered that disrespectful. And so did patti labelle who also shaded celine about that but nobody's jumping on Patti. Celine was more like a kid super excited mariah was more in awe. that's very different. And that's ok that their opinions differ.
@@CarloChapelle yeasbut range also includes the low notes as well it's the whole thing and mariah's is slightly bigger. Celine is in the records as 4 1/2 octaves. mariah is in the records including Guinness as having 5.
@@amylapratt8964 True. But that was during Mariah’s prime. During the ‘98 diva concert, at least from what I’m hearing, Mariah’s natural register was much lowered that on her songs that night (especially in Make It Happen) she had to do a lot of melismas around her top notes as she couldn’t quiet hit them in her natural register. So sans her whistle tones that night, her natural register that night could have reached the lowest depths compared to Celine BUT from the mid range and the higher belts, Celine goes much above the range of Mariah. So both their “natural registers” that night are pretty much even. Mariah’s can just extend much lower and Celine can extend much higher. And that’s why Celine was able to wail with Aretha because Mariah couldn’t go up their with her natural register. And her whistle register though impressive doesn’t seem to fit the Gospel genre of Testimony. Again, that’s just my “personal” observation.
@@CarloChapelle if you saw her interview it wasn't that she couldn't she didn't feel like it was appropriate. Like the OP comment initially it's a different kind of respect .

Patti labelle actually said the same thing. It just depends on what you consider respect might not be the same as everyone else. And those guinness records are much newer than 98. Lol
look,Celine is one of the queen out there,but she always give much respect to the others,that makes her more queen then queen.oh my,the queen of mucsic.
Did you just say the queen of music now she is a queen in her own right but not the queen of all queens if it wasn’t for Aretha a lot of female singers like Celine Jennifer Hudson Beyoncé wouldn’t have chances like they did no Celine would have she has her white privilege never mind forget Celine
Her husband called her a 'clown' in the most affectionate way of course. I can see why, Celine is always such an upbeat lady who isn't afraid to goof around. She is also such a talented singer who made some great music
I love Celine as a singer, her personality, her charm, her sweetness, and how she never looks down on people. If I never liked her that video of her putting a bully in her place made me love her.

You can hear her voice shaking as she does the fake hype. Queen Celine didn't regret what she did that night. I'm proud of Celine.
Celine did an amazing job. Jennifer Hudson did well too but i wished she had sanged something different her song choices was to predictable. so the audience didnt seem that impressed. Jhud always sings those songs. Aretha's catalong is so huge. Jhud should have chosen different songs. All the artist did super amazing, much better than i expected. Both Patti and Celine seemed like they were holding their voices back so they wouldnt over sing. Still were amazing both got standing Ovations with out asking the audience to stand. world class perfermances.
I ❤ ME Some CELINE...1ST--Her RESPECT For "THE QUEEN OF SOUL & SONG" Is PALPABLE Here! 2ND--The WOMAN Is ALWAYS NATURALLY "😂" , 3RD--Oooh, So GIFTED Herself, YES SHE IS!!!
We're thinking that when Celine Dion was unstoppable when she sang her line ("Aliiiiiiiiiiive" from Natural Woman 1998), but not knowing that that deep inside she was actually a little bit intimidated in that moment.
"Before the day I met you... life was so unkind your the key to my peace of mind" yes she did!!! Lambs is just mad that she didnt bring it like CD brought it!!! 💯
I'm a LAMB, but I get both sides. One took a step back and let the Star be a Star, and the other stepped up and was just excited and lived in the moment, and just did what she does best. I really don't think there was a right or wrong answer. Idk.. but if it were me, I would have pulled a Mariah 😆. No doubt!
Thats not the time she was talking abt, mariah was talking abt natural women when celine sang the F#5 and beautiful run, but mariah defenitely misunderstood what celine was tryna do, the time aretha was telling mariah to lift it was another song
Celine is so humble. But I'm not surprised that Mariah continues to shade Celine (in her book) about that Divas' performance. Celine knows how to collaborate. Celine knows how to honor.
Aretha is the best...tbe source from which all rivers flow. Bless the words from Celine, she is speaking for all of us. Lena Horne said Aretha showed her how to free her voice...she freed us all
I'm just glad that Celine along with Mariah and Whitney- diva trinity, all came out and peaked on their careers in my time. Boy I was glad the music world are all gifted powerhouses that jampacked every venues and soldout multi-million albums worldwide. Now that they are aged (as I do), their music is timeless already.
brejnhardt - What? Umm, No!!! When she can sit down at a piano and play with total mastery and sing brilliantly and effortlessly at the same time with the same amount of Soul, then I'll consider your comment!
@@brejnhardt Because only a stupid person would make such a ridiculous statement. You are stupid and ignorance personified when you compare Celine Dion to the greatest voice of all time.
Mariah loves the spotlight, but also hates the spotlight. Put in a situation to sing a song she hadn’t rehearsed/required to improvise, especially with Aretha, she wouldn’t have felt comfortable. This was also ‘98, a year after Mariah started developing a different singing tone; losing the versatility and effortlessness she had in ‘96. Also, Mariah has a great solo voice, but gets overshadowed with powerful, soulful singers. This was especially evident during duets with Whitney
She didn't rehearse chain of fools and the duet turned out really good! Plus of the three her arethae and celine she was the only one who hadn't done a version of the song before so she wasnt doing a song she had done before the other 2 had. Celine had recorded the song in 1995 It would be like if they were all doing unrehearsed adlibs to hero or make it happen or something mariah would have a clear advantage.
Celine took her opportunity to really SING with the queen of soul and who can EVER say that they slayed like that ALONGSIDE THEEEE ARETHA FRANKLIN, WITHHHH her approval. I’m sorry Mariah but you were seriously wrong about your opinion
Aretha knew her own talent, and was not afraid of anyone bringing their A game. If anything she encouraged it, knowing that she would match them note for note, and then some. I saw the show then and there was never a sense that Celine was being disrespectful. She was bringing her best, and it always seemed to me that Aretha respected her for it.
It was call and answer. Aretha wanted them all to bring it but no one wanted to but Celine. Aretha was bored till Celine stepped up because she was the only one giving everything
Miss Céline, don't ever feel bad about using yo' gift. You have a lovely voice and you used it in front of the Queen, Miss Franklin. I don't believe that you were tryna "one her up." I believe that you were just having a good time singin' w/ the Queen. The other "singer" who made a big deal out of it and shaded you was intimidated because you could actually sing live, hit high notes and didn't need to go back and doctor yo' performances. She had an entire performance w/ the Queen, but got salty because you did a few ad-libs and runs. Hell, if I could sing like you, Miss Céline, I would've done the same thing. Who wouldn't? If you would've stood there lookin' crazy then they would've been like _dang, I guess girl friend _*_cain't_*_ sang after all._ Damned if you do, damned if you don't. With the Internet at my fingertips, I'm able to go back and check on my favorites artists and see if they could truly sang or not. Boy, was I in for a surprise...
Céline was the only one who could sing w/ the Queen. Them other heffas couldn't sing. Mariah had a 5 or 7 octave range, but for some odd reason, she couldn't sing. And, she doctored her performances.
@@LaCheleWallace yea but you know her lambs be coming with all kinds of excuses like you knew you were gonna be singing with Aretha you should've come prepared and then wanted to throw shade after but i guess shes grown up from it because on her Instagram she did a nice post to give her condolences to Renee lol
Celine was the only diva onstage with Aretha who had the instrument and skill and preparation to even dream of going toe-to-toe with Aretha. I am glad she did not wilt away from the occasion to sing with the GREATEST like that other so-called diva who is still talking sh*t -- with the deep rasp that is left of her voice.
Celine is being honest here. Mariah is the one who seems to be keeping the bitterness going. Aretha at the end of Testimony ask for help to lift him. Celine just answered her request and responded
No ma am there is no killing Aretha there is a reason why she is called and still is and will still be for many years the Queen of Soul (may she rest in peace)
Wow celine has always been so humble... She's a role model... Imagine she's that successful, she's even more successful than Aretha but she's only talking good things about her and putting her to pedestal.. Actually she always does to other people... Other divas if you ask them about other divas you will notice insecurities. Celine was never like that...
Celine more successful than Aretha!!? No!!! Aretha is an ICON, not just an incredible singer, she influenced and impacted American culture and touched the world! What are you measuring success as? Aretha changed the way music is done, she changed the game and raised the bar! Tell me, who sang anything like Aretha did from the 1950’s - 1970’s? She was the first woman inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Music Hall of Fame and the state of Michigan declared her voice as one of it’s natural resources. And, for at least 25 years, she was the most awarded female in history! More Grammy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award, Rollingstone listed her as #1 singer. She sang for Queens and Kings and more Presidents than any other singer! No one has matched her soulfulness before or after her! Aretha was an extraordinary singer and pianist, as well as innovator. Aretha’s legacy as the world’s greatest singer is sealed!
Mariah’s convoluted attempt at rewriting history mostly bec they can’t handle tf that their idol didn’t shine during divas live. The good thing about the controversy is more and more people discover how phenomenal Céline was that night & her epic powerful moment w/ Aretha. And for Mariah. It’s a big STAIN on her career not bec she didn’t rise up & powerfully sing w/ Aretha that night like Céline did, but bec she’s shown her DEEP INSECURITIES over & over again by trying to tear down such a kind diva like Celine & her insecurity is now forever documented in her memoir. Yikes.
This reporter wanted dirt, smh, yes Celine held her own but she was singing with the Queen, what do you expect, Aretha deserved and expected nothing but the best from us, of course Celine brought it Aretha brough it out of her, she once tried to do that with Mariah, but I think she was a bit nerveous and intimidated. But make no mistake about it she still couldn't touched the Queen. Long live the Queen
@@희경-o3p FYI there was no competition on divas live since it is a CONCERT not a SINGING COMPETITION. Aretha called, Céline answered simple as that. But Mariah wasn't at her best there so therefore she didn't have a chance to sing with Aretha on testimony. Don't be delusional and shady
@@희경-o3p Mariah didn't have the vocals to match Aretha and got jealous Celine shined that night and not her. The fact that Mariah saw it as a competition proves mt point.
@@희경-o3p A known Céline hater. Try watching the video and open your ears! Remember it's Céline paying tribute to Aretha as requested by Aretha. So where is the disrespect you claim? NOWHERE! Who's missing here? Yeah...get lost hater!
Mariah's shades are nothing but an outcome of her jealousy. She failed to shine that night and it was in front of her idol and it hurts and we understand but she need to cut it, its been 22 years u know! Celine tore down the roof that night, along with the Queen Aretha. Y'all dont need to explain, the live is on youtube and y'all can check it.
I don’t guess we watched the same concert. Failed is not a word I would use. Mariah owned the stage in a way the others couldn’t. No one could touch her musicality. It just depends on who you like. This is clearly a biased comment lol. BESIDES, Aretha herself said she would only sing a duet with Mariah. Their backstory that night was cute too. And it may be a cultural thing. Mariah held back out of respect as many black artists would have. I made my point
@@musiclover2155 looks like she failed that night. Its understandable since she's only human and bad days can happen but her attempt on shading Celine for it proves how aweful she is as a person and as a singer. I mean even Aretha enjoyed the moments she had with Celine. There are different ways to respecting a Diva like Aretha, you either accept her invitation to help her lift him, just like Celine did cause you can't say no to Miss Aretha, or u just join the back singers, call it a day and hold grudge for 22 years and even write a memo about XD and yeah we watched the same thing, u just too blind to see.
@@stefeuphoria5412 you sound super dramatic and I almost wasn’t going to respond because this doesn’t carry that much weight in my life. Again, you are obviously a Celine fan, and that’s fine. Idc either way. However, Mariah did great and you are literally the only comment I’ve seen say otherwise. Also.. again. Respect looks different apparently. You must have never watched the countless videos of other people in the business saying the same thing. Or even fans. Also, Mariah wrote a memoir about her life. That was just one small detail in a very long book lol. She wasn’t pressed lol. You sound even more pressed she commented about it. You wrote your comment as if the memoir was built around that moment. Dramatic af bro
@@musiclover2155 wtf! Hhhh! Sis im not a music fan and i appreciate Aretha first of all. She owned the stage and Celine worked it out as well. Mariah was standing like a broken robot physically and vocally that night. Everyone saw it, so just get a life and move over ur bitterness XD geez u guys are sick!
Girl bye! Celine tried (and failed) to outsing Aretha and it came off as disrespectful. Aretha was an elder singer, much older and it was her song and her night. You do as Mariah did, keep a low profile and let the Queen have her night! In her mind, this was probably some great come back and you dont try and outsing a legend.
I heard that it’s very common for two people to sing together like Aretha and Celine did in the Gospel world. Mariah refused Aretha, but Celine did not… “where two or more are gathered in my (Jesus) name, I (Jesus) am in the mist of them”.
Don't think Mariah held back, vocally she just could not do it! Her voice isn't as strong as Celine, sorry Mariah Careyians and im sure Mariah knew this!
@@吱娜终国 some of lambs are too delusional to admit it, and from my experience, talking with delusional lambs is a waste of time, they're all swarming in every video of Diva's Live with a repetitive comment just to defend Mariah LMFAO
I love Aretha, but let’s face the facts. She tried to punk Celine, and Celine didn’t let her. Celine is just way too classy to say that though so I’ll say it for her, lol.

Jhud always sings those songs. Aretha's catalong is so huge. Jhud should have chosen different songs. All the artist did super amazing, much better than i expected. Both Patti and Celine seemed like they were holding their voices back so they wouldnt over sing. Still were amazing both got standing Ovations with out asking the audience to stand. world class perfermances.
@Adam Buentello me too i never knew the song until Celine sang it
Aretha, Celine, Whitney, Barbara, and Mariah are some of the greatest singers of all time
Love her she’s got a great disposition
I ❤ ME Some CELINE...1ST--Her RESPECT For "THE QUEEN OF SOUL & SONG" Is PALPABLE Here! 2ND--The WOMAN Is ALWAYS NATURALLY "😂" , 3RD--Oooh, So GIFTED Herself, YES SHE IS!!!
We're thinking that when Celine Dion was unstoppable when she sang her line ("Aliiiiiiiiiiive" from Natural Woman 1998), but not knowing that that deep inside she was actually a little bit intimidated in that moment.
My MOST FAVORITE LEGENDARY SINGER! Amazing heart and talent!
That's what Celine Dion is all about go queen.
Celine Is beautiful, funny and very French. Hilarious to listen to her. I love it.
"Before the day I met you... life was so unkind your the key to my peace of mind" yes she did!!! Lambs is just mad that she didnt bring it like CD brought it!!! 💯
I'm a LAMB, but I get both sides. One took a step back and let the Star be a Star, and the other stepped up and was just excited and lived in the moment, and just did what she does best. I really don't think there was a right or wrong answer. Idk.. but if it were me, I would have pulled a Mariah 😆. No doubt!
Aretha kept calling on Mariah to help her lift the spirit but her voice was gone by then. Celine answered her and Mariah stays hating about it.
Mariah stays hating about it when ?
Thats not the time she was talking abt, mariah was talking abt natural women when celine sang the F#5 and beautiful run, but mariah defenitely misunderstood what celine was tryna do, the time aretha was telling mariah to lift it was another song
@@jierjeyser817 every single time she has referenced that night, even in her audio book....
@@jierjeyser817 Mariah shades Céline in her new book because of the 1998 performance
2 legends!! Celine Dion and Tina Turner
Tina Turner only
That was hilarious!
LOL
Hahahahahahahhaha
Hahahahahhauaua DED
Celine is so humble. But I'm not surprised that Mariah continues to shade Celine (in her book) about that Divas' performance. Celine knows how to collaborate. Celine knows how to honor.
While I tend to hold back to respect the singer, Celine stepped up with musicality and class that didn’t sound like a competition n
Aretha is the best...tbe source from which all rivers flow.
Bless the words from Celine, she is speaking for all of us.
Lena Horne said Aretha showed her how to free her voice...she freed us all
I Love Celine Dion!
Celine outsang that mean old black lady! Respect!
Celine is crazy .... i love her
Celine is nobody's backup singer!
I'm just glad that Celine along with Mariah and Whitney- diva trinity, all came out and peaked on their careers in my time. Boy I was glad the music world are all gifted powerhouses that jampacked every venues and soldout multi-million albums worldwide. Now that they are aged (as I do), their music is timeless already.
amazing
My Dear Celine.. YOU are on Aretha Franklins level.. And above...
brejnhardt - What? Umm, No!!! When she can sit down at a piano and play with total mastery and sing brilliantly and effortlessly at the same time with the same amount of Soul, then I'll consider your comment!
@@johnclay661 no not consider we will put it in a box and never open that box again
Don't be so stupid, nobody is on Aretha's level.
@@markdrinkwater1508 Maybe in your world, but npt in mine. And how dare you calling a person you don't even know stupid? Where are your maners?
@@brejnhardt Because only a stupid person would make such a ridiculous statement. You are stupid and ignorance personified when you compare Celine Dion to the greatest voice of all time.
Mariah loves the spotlight, but also hates the spotlight. Put in a situation to sing a song she hadn’t rehearsed/required to improvise, especially with Aretha, she wouldn’t have felt comfortable. This was also ‘98, a year after Mariah started developing a different singing tone; losing the versatility and effortlessness she had in ‘96. Also, Mariah has a great solo voice, but gets overshadowed with powerful, soulful singers. This was especially evident during duets with Whitney
She didn't rehearse chain of fools and the duet turned out really good! Plus of the three her arethae and celine she was the only one who hadn't done a version of the song before so she wasnt doing a song she had done before the other 2 had. Celine had recorded the song in 1995 It would be like if they were all doing unrehearsed adlibs to hero or make it happen or something mariah would have a clear advantage.
얼른 쾌차하세요! 멋진 뮤지션!💖💖💖
Thank you for respecting the QUEEN ARETHA.
Celine prolly the most honest genuine celeb
Celine took her opportunity to really SING with the queen of soul and who can EVER say that they slayed like that ALONGSIDE THEEEE ARETHA FRANKLIN, WITHHHH her approval. I’m sorry Mariah but you were seriously wrong about your opinion
Beautiful 💚
Love her The best 😍✌👍😘💪
Celine you are my Queen forever.
Why do I feel the interviewer was later being hypocritical?😆🤷🏻♂️
I didn’t see it until probably 20 years later on RUclips but I remember the headlines about that moment
Aretha knew her own talent, and was not afraid of anyone bringing their A game. If anything she encouraged it, knowing that she would match them note for note, and then some. I saw the show then and there was never a sense that Celine was being disrespectful. She was bringing her best, and it always seemed to me that Aretha respected her for it.
I respect celine- she’s classy 🔥
Aretha was trying to steal the show and the song. But Celine stood toe to toe with her.

Aretha has very ugly voice tone.
@@ericbaklita7517 with 18 grammys???? You sound stupid.
It was call and answer. Aretha wanted them all to bring it but no one wanted to but Celine. Aretha was bored till Celine stepped up because she was the only one giving everything
@@krazyboi42 ruclips.net/video/wm4DVQV0LP4/видео.html
Miss Céline, don't ever feel bad about using yo' gift. You have a lovely voice and you used it in front of the Queen, Miss Franklin. I don't believe that you were tryna "one her up." I believe that you were just having a good time singin' w/ the Queen. The other "singer" who made a big deal out of it and shaded you was intimidated because you could actually sing live, hit high notes and didn't need to go back and doctor yo' performances. She had an entire performance w/ the Queen, but got salty because you did a few ad-libs and runs. Hell, if I could sing like you, Miss Céline, I would've done the same thing. Who wouldn't? If you would've stood there lookin' crazy then they would've been like _dang, I guess girl friend _*_cain't_*_ sang after all._ Damned if you do, damned if you don't. With the Internet at my fingertips, I'm able to go back and check on my favorites artists and see if they could truly sang or not. Boy, was I in for a surprise...
LaChele no need to shade Mariah Carey like that
Didn't nobody shade her.
LaChele I agree I love Celine and Aretha said”help me lift him”(God)and Celine was the only one who brought it
Céline was the only one who could sing w/ the Queen. Them other heffas couldn't sing. Mariah had a 5 or 7 octave range, but for some odd reason, she couldn't sing. And, she doctored her performances.
@@LaCheleWallace yea but you know her lambs be coming with all kinds of excuses like you knew you were gonna be singing with Aretha you should've come prepared and then wanted to throw shade after but i guess shes grown up from it because on her Instagram she did a nice post to give her condolences to Renee lol
Mariah dissed her big time after she did that with Aretha. But Céline was just being herself.
It was rude asl of Celine.
@@skepchicaCeline wasn’t rude in anyway… shuddup
Celine was the only diva onstage with Aretha who had the instrument and skill and preparation to even dream of going toe-to-toe with Aretha. I am glad she did not wilt away from the occasion to sing with the GREATEST like that other so-called diva who is still talking sh*t -- with the deep rasp that is left of her voice.
majestic❤❤❤❤
cleine was the best of the divas that night, ARETHa included
Por favor doblado..o.. suptitulos..nos perdemos
Todos los reportajes por saber el idioma.. Valencia
España...❤❤❤
Celine is being honest here. Mariah is the one who seems to be keeping the bitterness going. Aretha at the end of Testimony ask for help to lift him. Celine just answered her request and responded
Queen Celine killed her! And she knew it
No ma am there is no killing Aretha there is a reason why she is called and still is and will still be for many years the Queen of Soul (may she rest in peace)
@@hisoka2.085 Exactly 💯👏👏👏
Aretha has no rivals, Celine knows this.
Wow celine has always been so humble... She's a role model... Imagine she's that successful, she's even more successful than Aretha but she's only talking good things about her and putting her to pedestal.. Actually she always does to other people...
Other divas if you ask them about other divas you will notice insecurities.
Celine was never like that...
Excuse me did you say more successful than Aretha Franklin (may she rest in peace) I really like Celine but when it comes to Aretha no ma’am
Celine more successful than Aretha!!? No!!! Aretha is an ICON, not just an incredible singer, she influenced and impacted American culture and touched the world! What are you measuring success as? Aretha changed the way music is done, she changed the game and raised the bar! Tell me, who sang anything like Aretha did from the 1950’s - 1970’s? She was the first woman inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Music Hall of Fame and the state of Michigan declared her voice as one of it’s natural resources. And, for at least 25 years, she was the most awarded female in history! More Grammy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award, Rollingstone listed her as #1 singer. She sang for Queens and Kings and more Presidents than any other singer! No one has matched her soulfulness before or after her! Aretha was an extraordinary singer and pianist, as well as innovator. Aretha’s legacy as the world’s greatest singer is sealed!

755th Commented 💙 : We're back again to this video.
CELINE DID THE RIGHT THIIING. ARETHA WANTED THAT TO HAPPEN.
Mariah’s convoluted attempt at rewriting history mostly bec they can’t handle tf that their idol didn’t shine during divas live.
The good thing about the controversy is more and more people discover how phenomenal Céline was that night & her epic powerful moment w/ Aretha.
And for Mariah. It’s a big STAIN on her career not bec she didn’t rise up & powerfully sing w/ Aretha that night like Céline did, but bec she’s shown her DEEP INSECURITIES over & over again by trying to tear down such a kind diva like Celine & her insecurity is now forever documented in her memoir. Yikes.
This reporter wanted dirt, smh, yes Celine held her own but she was singing with the Queen, what do you expect, Aretha deserved and expected nothing but the best from us, of course Celine brought it Aretha brough it out of her, she once tried to do that with Mariah, but I think she was a bit nerveous and intimidated. But make no mistake about it she still couldn't touched the Queen. Long live the Queen
mariah has a respect on miss aretha she don't want to have a competition to her greatest inspiration unlike the other one that has no manners.
@@희경-o3p FYI there was no competition on divas live since it is a CONCERT not a SINGING COMPETITION. Aretha called,
Céline answered simple as that. But Mariah wasn't at her best there so therefore she didn't have a chance to sing with Aretha on testimony. Don't be delusional and shady
@@희경-o3p Aretha asked Céline to sing with her and to keep up with her. Go watch the show instead of talking bullshit
@@희경-o3p Mariah didn't have the vocals to match Aretha and got jealous Celine shined that night and not her. The fact that Mariah saw it as a competition proves mt point.
@@희경-o3p
A known Céline hater.
Try watching the video and open your ears!
Remember it's Céline paying tribute to Aretha as requested by Aretha. So where is the disrespect you claim? NOWHERE!
Who's missing here?
Yeah...get lost hater!
Mariah's shades are nothing but an outcome of her jealousy. She failed to shine that night and it was in front of her idol and it hurts and we understand but she need to cut it, its been 22 years u know! Celine tore down the roof that night, along with the Queen Aretha. Y'all dont need to explain, the live is on youtube and y'all can check it.
I don’t guess we watched the same concert. Failed is not a word I would use. Mariah owned the stage in a way the others couldn’t. No one could touch her musicality. It just depends on who you like. This is clearly a biased comment lol. BESIDES, Aretha herself said she would only sing a duet with Mariah. Their backstory that night was cute too. And it may be a cultural thing. Mariah held back out of respect as many black artists would have. I made my point
@@musiclover2155 looks like she failed that night. Its understandable since she's only human and bad days can happen but her attempt on shading Celine for it proves how aweful she is as a person and as a singer. I mean even Aretha enjoyed the moments she had with Celine. There are different ways to respecting a Diva like Aretha, you either accept her invitation to help her lift him, just like Celine did cause you can't say no to Miss Aretha, or u just join the back singers, call it a day and hold grudge for 22 years and even write a memo about XD and yeah we watched the same thing, u just too blind to see.
@@stefeuphoria5412 you sound super dramatic and I almost wasn’t going to respond because this doesn’t carry that much weight in my life. Again, you are obviously a Celine fan, and that’s fine. Idc either way. However, Mariah did great and you are literally the only comment I’ve seen say otherwise. Also.. again. Respect looks different apparently. You must have never watched the countless videos of other people in the business saying the same thing. Or even fans. Also, Mariah wrote a memoir about her life. That was just one small detail in a very long book lol. She wasn’t pressed lol. You sound even more pressed she commented about it. You wrote your comment as if the memoir was built around that moment. Dramatic af bro
@@musiclover2155 wtf! Hhhh! Sis im not a music fan and i appreciate Aretha first of all. She owned the stage and Celine worked it out as well. Mariah was standing like a broken robot physically and vocally that night. Everyone saw it, so just get a life and move over ur bitterness XD geez u guys are sick!
Girl bye! Celine tried (and failed) to outsing Aretha and it came off as disrespectful. Aretha was an elder singer, much older and it was her song and her night. You do as Mariah did, keep a low profile and let the Queen have her night! In her mind, this was probably some great come back and you dont try and outsing a legend.
No time to talk, time to feel! 😂😂
It always BE NIGHTmare side for MARIA KERE
I did see the Aretha tribute too and I would’ve appreciated her Celining the song a bit instead of copying the recording.
Mariah was not happy that Dion was trying to out sing Aretha
I heard that it’s very common for two people to sing together like Aretha and Celine did in the Gospel world. Mariah refused Aretha, but Celine did not… “where two or more are gathered in my (Jesus) name, I (Jesus) am in the mist of them”.
Extraordinar celine
I love Mariah but I totally disagree that Celine was being disrespectful it wasn’t that deep to me ...
I agree with you.
She wasn't a backup singer😌
Mariah was just bitter she wasn't vocally agile to keep up with Aretha
676th Commented 👀 : We're going back again to this video after more than 5 years on RUclips, but the origin was more than 5 years 👀
Don't think Mariah held back, vocally she just could not do it! Her voice isn't as strong as Celine, sorry Mariah Careyians and im sure Mariah knew this!
Mariah definitely knew it, and she hate it😂
Wrong
that you’re talking about Mariah though lol. She had too much respect
@@jalonwatts she didn't respect Celine~
@@吱娜终国 some of lambs are too delusional to admit it, and from my experience, talking with delusional lambs is a waste of time, they're all swarming in every video of Diva's Live with a repetitive comment just to defend Mariah LMFAO
❤
That time Mariah was quite shaded.. That problem was herself... She didn't act natural, she didn't enjoy the moment!!
Such a quebecois in a good way
The real story is Aretha kept singing over where it was Celine’s part. Watch the David Foster and Carole King interview.
Meanwhile, Mariah is still jealous and salty 20 years later.. 😂😂😂
😂 Innit
Nah
Yeah if you'll get inside Mariah while she sleeps, you will see that her nightmare is the 1998 Divas Live lmao
I love Aretha, but let’s face the facts. She tried to punk Celine, and Celine didn’t let her. Celine is just way too classy to say that though so I’ll say it for her, lol.
Unlike Mariah, Celine has class and is so genuine. Aretha should have sang with her that night and not duet that b.
Always comparing like childs
