nah actually Love On Top is the most emotional key change

[jamesaditya]

And with that key change, Celine has achieved her final form

[skelebean]

Also, this was her first performance of this song after both her brother and husband past away. RIP

[adamseers]

The little dance she did right after was incredible and matched perfectly what happened.

[briannarenni]

I love how she will always stare dead at someone's soul because yes, she is SANGIN'. There is no "closing of the eyes because this note is hard"

[loneychou]

That same E♭ note but from two different chords is so fascinating.

I remember the story about this key change. David Foster surprised Celine on the studio because the key change was higher than what was planned. Celine thought it was impossible. David said, well if you can't do that, then there are other singers who can. Insulted, Celine went ahead and recorded the song and nailed the key change.

It went exactly as David Foster planned all along, including the insult 😂

Edit: hear it from Celine herself:


And also from David Foster:

Chill bumps EVERY TIME! Literally the best key change in contemporary popular music.

I love a good common tone transition. Absolutely seamless.

[Mac_]

All of the pain she had in her heart after the loss of her husband and brother was thrown out into the air of that venue with that note. She’s incredible without the emotion, but with it, Celine Dion is a force to be reckoned with

Adam Neely’s half hour video about this is so good.

[dystopian..]

That key change was so amazing I had to change my locks.

[MattCrawley_Music]

This lady wasnt in Rolling Stone magazine's 200 greatest singers list. Scandal

[HermelJaworski]

I already knew it was this song before clicking on the video. This key change is iconic!

[XxQozEMotoxX]

My high school band teacher used to tell us about how key changes affected the brain and the emotions of the listener. That just gave me goosebumps. There are certain chord progressions that have a similar affect. Just something I’ve experienced throughout the years.

The common tone key change is one of those things that seem simple, but actually require a wizard, three priests, and a serpent.

[DrUkeMusic]

Yep. She had one job… and she nailed it!

[pablov]

Obama´s elf is one of the most moving choruses of all times.

[Jake-nben]

When a singer changes to a really high key and then proceeds to sing actual lyrics at the higher key, thats the most impressive thing ever.

[KeepAnEyeOnDan]

This performance in the video was her first performance after loosing her husband - she broke down into tears just after the video cuts
