One Grammy winner covering another... How could it possibly go wrong? Canadian pop singer Celine Dion kicked off a new set of Las Vegas shows last weekend, and thrilled fans with a cover of Adele's chart-topping single "Rolling in the Deep." The song spent seven weeks at the top of the charts earlier this year, and spent 65 weeks in the Hot 100.

Dion saw similar success with "My Heart Will Go On," better known as the "Titanic" theme song, in 1997. At the time, that gem broke the record for largest radio audience of all time with 117 million listeners in one month, though it only spent two weeks at the top of the charts. The current leg of her Las Vegas residency is set to run through August 19, but she'll be in-and-out of there through 2014. Check out the recording below and let us know if you think she rocked it enough to beat Adele at her own game.

    Both are great, both are different. Both have a different sound.

    Celine is incredible and this is a superb cover. But I rarely if ever find a cover better than original

    Celine's amazing - I've always loved her voice. She does a tremendous job with the song. So did Adele. So does SSG Angie Johnson of the US Air Force band, Sidewinder. Angie's my top preference. It's a great song, and I believe that's why everyone wants to do it.

    This girl beats Celine hands down. I like Celine but her voice is 5too crystal clear and doesn't carry the emotion Hayley's does. Hayley has a different interpretation than Adele, but I like both. Hayley reminds me a lot of Janis Joplin since she has that lettle "growl" in her voice.

    Definitely Celine. I see her perform this live on Sunday 10th June and it was way way way better than this recording. You need to hear this live to see the real comparison.

    Never liked Celine except maybe the Titanic song, Adele has more soul. They sound pretty similar untill the high parts. Adel blows her out of the water. Maybe celine could have done it in her prime.

    I'm sorry but this is the funniest joke I've ever heard! It's true that Adele sings this way better but her high notes are far inferior to Celine's. For one, Adele ALWAYS lowers the key of this song when she sings it live, whereas Celine here is singing it in the original album key. Adele has a much more soulful voice but technically speaking, her range is far smaller than Celine's....the bad quality makes the high notes here distorted, that's all

    I think that Celine Dion is a great singer. But there wasnt enough.... emotion And I feel like she was just covering it to get talked about. Anyone can cover Adele's song, but no one can put that emotion in the song like Adele

    It might have been a bad recording, but it did not seem like Celine had the same range as Adele. I also think there was more real emotion in Adele's version.

    she has more flare in this song than Celine. Celine is better for original songs than song covers. :P

    But I'll bet Dion paid her a mint for the use of that song!
  • eric p Artist 2012/06/14 14:56:51

    I don't think a mint for one cover at one concert. A mint is what Adele has made the past couple years

    Compared to Dion's? Not even a drop in the bucket from Vegas...oh yeah, Adele made some money on that deal!

    One way it could go wrong is if Celine Dion is involved.

    Dion is just singing the words, there's a very shallow pit of feeling behind it. Adele sings so much from the heart, and that's what I like about her.
    Not to say that they don't both have fantastic voices, I just prefer the soul behind Adele.
