Susan Boyle Delivers a Stunning Rendition of Céline Dion’s Classic, Leaving the Audience in Awe! 🎤✨
Susan Boyle took on one of Céline Dion’s most iconic songs, and the result was absolutely mesmerizing. As her voice climbed to the highest notes, filled with pure emotion, the entire audience was spellbound. Some listeners were so moved by her breathtaking performance that they couldn’t hold back their tears.
In 2009, shortly after her Britain’s Got Talent Audition went viral, Boyle appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live to show off her vocal talents yet again. During her appearance, she sang a stunning, a cappella rendition of “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion, clearly impressing Piers Morgan, who was featured in Boyle’s CNN interview segment.
What to know about “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion
Written by James Horner and famously recorded by Dion as the theme song for the hit 1997 film Titanic, “My Heat Will Go On” reached the number-one position on the Billboard U.S. Hot 100 chart and was the best-selling single of 1998 (per MTV). The song also went on to win Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
In an interview with Billboard, Horner described the experience of listening to Dion record the song. “It was just electrifying. She was singing like her life depended on it,” he said.
Fun fact: the vocals to “My Heart Will Go On” were recorded in one take.
“Near, far, wherever you are,” Dion sings on the track. “I believe that the heart does go on. Once more, you open the door. And you’re here in my heart. And my heart will go on and on.”
And at the end, Dion wails, “You’re here, there’s nothing I fear. And I know that my heart will go on. We’ll stay forever this way. You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on.”

The song has not only become synonymous with the movie Titanic, it’s a pinnacle of ’90s pop culture at large. The track epitomizes a very specific moment in time — and, perhaps most importantly, immortalizes the heartthrob status of Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s become a karaoke staple and wedding song favorite.
