Celine Dion stands on stage and says to the audience, there is a George Harrison song I have wanted to sing forever

In 2008, when Joe Walsh and Celine Dion joined forces for Dion’s live television special Celine Dion: That’s Just the Woman in Me, their pairing seemed anything but natural. On one hand, you had Celine Dion, the queen of soaring ballads like “My Heart Will Go On” and “Think Twice,” a Canadian singer known for her emotional depth and dramatic vocal prowess. On the other, you had Joe Walsh, the legendary multi-instrumentalist best known for his gritty guitar work with The Eagles, steeped in the raw energy of rock and roll. The contrast between their musical worlds couldn’t have been starker.

But, against all odds, the collaboration turned out to be a revelation. The two delivered a hauntingly beautiful rendition of George Harrison’s “Something,” a song The Beatles released as a double A-side in 1969. Celine infused the track with a distinctively feminine touch, drawing on the elegance of Shirley Bassey’s earlier interpretation while bringing a fresh, ethereal quality to the performance. With her flowing white dress and striking thigh-high black boots, Celine seemed to embody an almost celestial grace as she sang, her voice floating effortlessly through the poignant lyrics.

What began as an unlikely pairing transformed into a perfect musical moment, proving that opposites can indeed attract when the chemistry is right.
