But did you know that Dion initially did not want to record 바카라My Heart Will Go On바카라?

In an old interview with Andy Cohen, Dion revealed how 바카라My Heart Will Go On바카라 came to fruition. She revealed that she did not want to record the song because it did not appeal to her. The singer said, 바카라It didn't appeal to me. I was probably very tired that day. I don't know, very tired.바카라 However, it was her late husband 바카라 Rene Angelil 바카라 who convinced her to sing the demo, at least. It was this demo that was used in 바카라Titanic.바카라

Dion continued, 바카라And my husband said, 바카라Let바카라s hold on.바카라 He talks to the writer and says, 바카라Let바카라s try to make a little demo,바카라 and I sang the song once and they built the orchestra around it. I never re-sang it for the recording, actually. So, the demo is the actual recording but after that, I sang it three gazillion times.바카라

And it worked in her favour. 바카라My Heart Will Go On바카라 continues to be Celine Dion바카라s most successful song.
