I had the privilege to have listened to this performance live on TV in 1996 with my mom at home back in western China. My mom was cooking but she stopped to listen to this song. We didn't speak English but we were so touched. My mom turned up the volume to its maximum! Since then we both became her fans. Now my mother has passed away but each time this song brings me those precious memories, goose skin and tears. Thank you Celine!

Touched by your words. In my experience, my mama played a really important role since my dad always on business in my childhood. Now I am in HK, every year only several days could be spent with them. Sometimes I really do miss the days in my student time with my mom.

That is why they called the vocal trinity. They have heavenly and godly vocal and voices.

One of the great live performances of all time. Many people on KZread suggest it was lip synched (and many video posts of this performance aren't always looped the best, contributing to that perception). It was not. She was at the height of her vocal powers at the time and very comfortable with BIG expectations, and she delivered. You can hear the almost shout at the very end of her last note. If you saw it live in '96, there was no question. This is the best posted version. What a talent.

I can't see other artist can give justice to this song celine is a beast.

Her voice has a soaring quality here that washes over the entire stadium and rings like the clearest resonant bell. The sheer power of her belts, the precision of her pitch, and execution of those incredibly agile adlibs make this a true masterclass in vocals.

Her opening song and Gloria Estefan for the closing song will always be in my heart.

Spectacular! David Foster is such a genius and Celine is always incredible!

This is the best song for the Olympics and never outdated

Another brilliant and beautiful performance by Celine. Sending the message that despite it being a competition against one another, everyone is brought together as one.

I was only 3 years old when this song came out, but I’ve fallen in love with it the older I’ve gotten! This is one of my all time favorite Celine Dion songs!

Amazing Voice of Celine Dion The Best😊

Between Celine's Power of the Dream in the opening and Gloria's Reach in the closing, those are just two great themes for the same Olympics.
