What do you think are Celine's best duets live?

For me it has to be:

Blueberry Hill (With Johnny Halliday)
The Prayer (With Josh Groban)
I Believe In You (With Il Divo)
When I Fall In Love (With Anne Murray)

So, what are your favourite live Duets?
Please feel free to name them here in this thread

I absolutely adore "Can't Live With You, Can't Live Without You" the live version during the Unison Concert.

Also, the ONLY time she's ever made a solo song a duet that I approved of and thought sounded good was "The Reason" at Divas Live with Carole King. That was an amazing performance.

The Prayer (With Josh Groban)

Beauty and the Beast with Bryan McKnight. This duet is just perfect. So pure, so touching.

Brian with an "i" sorry lol .

[Yangedd]

I actually forgot about that duet from the CBS special. I can't make up my mind which duet I like more though. With Brian or Terry Bradford lol.

·My Heart Will Go On at Star Académie (2009)
·Le Blues Du Businessman at the Millennium Concert (1999)
·The Prayer at the Academy Awards (1999)
·Everything I Do (I Do It For You) at the Millennium Concert (2000)
·Grande, Grande, Grande at the Fiorello Show (2002); I know it's a weird one but I love it for some reason
·In Some Small Way at The Tonight Show (2004)
·Si Dieu Existe at the private show for Sainte-Justine (2007)
·Hallelujah at The Oprah Winfrey Show (2010)

Some very good choices there

I also love the "T'Aimes Encore" duet with JJ Goldman (I think it was him) from some french show when she ended the song with a big note that was different from the way she usually ends it. I have watched that version over and over again just for the ending!

[Celine Fan 77]

yes, that acoustic version is amazing!

Terry's voice always made my skin crawl. I'm not a fan of when Celine duets with Barnev either, nor do I like the soul medley in the TC tour. Both of these guys should have just remained as background singers. Bringing them more on the front line, in my opinion is a horrendous idea.

[Yangedd]

I seem to recall Terry singing both "Beauty And The Beast" (Where he slipped up and Celine carried him so it wasn't that obvious) and "When I Fall In Love" with Celine. I always wondered though. Why didn't R. Kelly ever sing "I'm Your Angel" live with Celine?

Right around the time I'm Your Angel was released, all of the stuff about R. Kelly being a child molester/rapist came out.  I don't remember if it was ever proven or not but it was all over the news and Celine's team distanced themselves from him pretty quickly.

[celinecolombian]

I Hate You, Then I Love You
Beauty and the Beast
La Bas

[J-Man]

As well as some of the above, I also enjoy:

Can't We Try w/Dan Hill
Knock On Wood w/Carole Fredericksburg
Un Peu Plus Haut, Un Peu Plus Loin w/Jean Pierre Ferland & Ginette Reno
Hallelujah w/The Canadian Tenors
Caruso w/Florent Pagny
Helene w/Roche Voisine & Jean Jacques Goldman

But I do think that the EIDIDIFY w/Bryan Adamas from Taratata in 96 was better than the millennium version.

[Mary17]

To my mind it will be definitely the duet with the Bee Gess, they sang magically, Love to sing it everytime I feel sad, then I can remember Celine's collaboration with Kenny G, and their song Halfway to heaven, it sounds so sweet, tell him is a real treasure, the prayer, can't live with you can't live without you, beauty andthe beast, sous le vent.. aah))   I just can't stop.. ^-^ *))

I remember those rumours actually. Like you, I don't know if they were ever proven, but I can see why Celine's team distanced themselves from him. Still, at least she still went ahead and sang it live with Bruno.

I think you mean "Garou"  

[celine4evauk]

Think mine would be:

Le Blues Du Businessman - w/Bruno  

If I Can Dream - w/Elvis (it's my favourite Elvis song, remember screaming when the song started!)  

I Hate You Then I Love You - w/Pavarotti  

And i know it's not live but it's my favourite french song- so happy -

Plus Haut Que Moi - w/Mario  

[A new day...]

I love the live version of "Immortality" feat. the Bee Gees.

By the way, I don't think "I believe in you" has ever been sung by Celine LIVE.

Good choice!

Probably my favourite song from millennium show.

[Caledor]

Immortality with The Bee Gees
The prayer with Josh Groban (I want a studio recording of that one !!!)
If I can dream with Elvis
Helene with Roch Voisine and JJG
Une chance qu'on s'a with Jean-Pierre Ferland
L'envie with Johnny Hallyday

I'd love a duet with The Priests, and French singer Patrick Bruel !

She did "Qui a Le Droit" with Patrick Bruel on Le Grand Show supposedly she recorded the studio and it's coming on his next album!

[Caledor]

Yes I discovered that just after I wrote my post !
Actually between 2011-2013 I was not really up to date with Celine, so I missed this duet.
I've listened to it right now, wow, amazong, so emotional, so touching !
They both gave the best of themselves !

I don't know if you guys know Patrick Bruel much, but in France he is very famous and appreciated, especially among women ^^

[Caledor]

Me too I really love it!

But I actualley hate the duet she did back in 2002 in "Céline Dion à tout prix" French TV show, when she sang "L'envie d'aimer" with Daniel Levi.
I tried to watch it again today, I really can't. I used to like his voice, but on this TV show it sounds awful, and Celine's voice was (my point of view) not the best.

Yeah -- looking back at that era of Celine's voice, it truly was at its weakest. It still sounded fantastic, of course, because it's Celine Dion! But I think Vegas was very grueling and stressful and that manifested in how she sang for a few years. She also said that she focused more on putting on a "show" than sounding her best during that time. That seemed to last until around 2006. By the time she got really comfortable with A NEW DAY... and its schedule, she started to sound like herself again but it was hazy there for a while.

Then with CELINE in Vegas, she sounded so much like her 90s self again. I was astonished! Vocals totally depend on stress levels and schedule for her, it seems.

[isurrender]

No matter how many duets she did, no one will be better than this vocal battle

This is way better than 'Qui a le droit?' !! Just perfect.
