Celine Dion has been an international singing superstar for a number of years, with no sign of her popularity fading. She has enthralled audiences worldwide with her powerful vocals, wide range, and long lasting notes. Her performance of "My Heart Will Go On" in 2017 at the Billboard Awards is a prime example of this.

If she could be said to have a signature song, it would be "My Heart Will Go On" from the film "Titanic." It is almost impossible to think of one, without thinking of the other. It is also almost impossible to imagine anyone else singing that amazing song.

Celine imparts such deep emotion each time she sings it that it never grows stale. Her voice caresses the notes and the lyrics. Though always strong, her vocals still sound deeply tender and thoughtful in some spots, strong and determined in others.

The song reflects the loss of a loved one in a way few other songs can. The speaker knows the pain of separation due to death, but also speaks to the depth of love that will last beyond the grave.

This video was filmed during the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the "Titanic" film. She stands within a lit circled curtain of glittering crystals, almost like a giant chandelier.

In the background giant screens show famous clips from the movie, including Kate Winslet on the bow of the Titanic, opening her arms to what her character thought was a bright future.

Celine wears an eye-catching white dress with huge winglike sleeves and neckline that plunges almost to her naval. Her hair is pulled back into a neat bun, accentuating the beautiful angles of her face.

As she sings, the lit curtain slowly rises, allowing the audience to see her more clearly. Her face and body language reflect the depth of feeling spoken of in the song. The lights come to rest above her, like a sparkling cloud.

Her performance feels as fresh as if it was the first time she has ever sung the song, even though she has probably lost count of the number of times she has amazed audiences with it. The Billboard Awards audience clearly appreciates her performance as the applause roars; no doubt thousands of viewers did as well.
