During an emotional live performance in Central Park, New York, Celine Dion and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli sang their well-known duet “The Prayer” together once more.
Due to their collaboration, it was inevitable that there would be an incredible amount of vocal firepower onstage, and both the Italian superstar and the Queen of Power Ballads did an incredible job in their respective roles.
Elizabeth Taylor passed suddenly shortly after the concert, and Bocelli dedicated the song to the legendary Hollywood star.
Music fans were drawn to the two singers’ live chemistry, and their video—which has had 199 million views—became the second most popular upload on Bocelli’s YouTube channel.
The song’s principal lyricist, David Foster, introduced “The Prayer” on Bocelli’s behalf. Bocelli modestly acknowledged that his understanding of English was lacking.
The Canadian composer said, “Andrea and Elizabeth Taylor had a great love affair together, although not literally,” to much laughter from the audience. He stated, “Elizabeth wanted to dedicate this song this evening in her honor because he had such a great love for Andrea.”
Dion has played the song live in Los Angeles with Josh Groban in addition to numerous performances with Bocelli; the video is below.
Dion has already performed the song alongside a well-known artist. “The Prayer” returned to the US and Canadian charts when the two re-released the song as a duet in 2008.
