An impressive performance by Celine Dion

Celine performed "Hymne à L'amour", a song once sung by the legendary Edith Piaf. When the singer finished the performance, the crowd erupted with joyful shouts, and some of the audience could not contain their emotions. It was this song, released back in 1950, that became a symbol of love and pain.

"Celine brought me to tears"
