Posted April 26, 200718 yr DION STUNS AMERICA WITH ELVIS DUET CELINE DION made TV history in America last night (25Apr07) when she performed live with ELVIS PRESLEY. Technology enabled the Canadian to appear to sing alongside Presley onstage at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood during the American Idol 'Idol Gives Back' charity special. The late rocker appeared in hologram form for the breathtaking duet of If I Can Dream with Dion, leaving many audience members stunned and convinced they were seeing a ghost. 26/04/2007 03:26 SOURCE I will try and find a video of it !! Can't wait to see this :o
April 26, 200718 yr Celine duets with Elvis on American Idol Last night on American Idol for the charity show, Celine performed a duet with Elvis Presley on If I Can Dream, the song that was the finale for Elvis' '68 Comeback Special. I wasn't sure what I would think of this because, all due respect to Celine, this particular song is very special for Elvis fans and Elvis, himself, felt passionately about the song. I was also a little confused as to how they would actually manage it. The last thing I wanted, as an Elvis fan, was to have an impersonator delivering Elvis' vocals, but the end result was fantastic! Celine did a great job and Elvis' vocals were blended brilliantly with hers. The people at the actual Kodak theater saw Ryan Pelton (an Elvis Tribute Artist) in the flesh standing next to Celine and miming to the Elvis track. All of the long shots were Ryan and the back shots were Ryan. Cleverly edited with the film footage of both Elvis and Celine which was previously recorded. Elvis is not a holoram as some people have been saying. But rather cut out from the 68 special and CGI'd into the modern background with Celine. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/idolapril25th2007ql8.jpg Ryan Seacrest introduced it as: "Celine Dion is traveling back to the year she was born - 1968, to sing with the man who is and always will be the Worlds Greatest Idol." kpH7BlYsdGI and for a better clip ;) http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=449479&fr=ybr_sbc A great show and both Elvis and Celine fans should be feeling very proud today :cheer: Just thought I'd include a clip from the '68 Comeback Special with Elvis singing If I Can Dream as this is where the footage for the duet is from :D 1f9TBAYjyUA
