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.

    Adele has talent and I love a couple of her songs. Like two or three then nothing. That's ok. Now Celine I love 100% of her songs. She has many more hits then Adele. Why is that you ask, well because she can truly sing.

    They both sing it good, cuz they are both good singers. But I've heard the Adele version already too much now, so hearing a Celine Dion version is refreshing

    I was going to say the very same thing, with the exception of Whitney's version of Dolly's hit, but I didn't because I talk too much, your answer is short and right to the point.

    Why do you have to choose between these two incredible women? They both are excellent singers, the difference is Celine Dion been around a bit longer then Adele. I love them both! "Sing Ladies"!

    Comparing Celine to Adele on this is like comparing a great karaoke singer to Adele. It is not even close in my opinion.

    Celine has also been around a lot longer. Adel is just starting.

    Well, she needs to kick in on making hit songs. I liked Celine before she sang in English. I doubt Adele will ever match Celines record. She has a great voice but a niche only. In my opinion Celine is more gifted.

    They shouldn't have compared the two. Not yet anyway. Plus I like both for different reasons.

    Celine is beautiful with a beautiful voice; but a song is best the way you originally heard it. The comparison is an impossible one that is unfair to Celine. She sings it extremely well but she's not Adele.... To be fair, Celine's songs sound best with Celine singing them. I doubt Adele could capture the ESSENCE of that sound..

    Exactly, Celine should stick to her own songs, though honestly I think she lacks emotion.

    She's artist and artists hone their craft by reaching out and trying something new from time to time

    celine's technique is perfect but she does not get the spirit of what she is singing.

    The recording isnt the best so it's hard for me to say. If it was recorded better I could really hear then, but for now she sound like the regular everyday people on youtube making covers.

    Celine Dion sucks, and this is a lousy cover version of a good song. I couldn't even listen to the whole thing, it's so painful to my ears. She sounds like an old woman karaoking this song.
    Adele, on the other hand, has a deep bluesy voice that does this song justice.

    This songs just suits Adele to perfection. Others may cover it with a higher range and may do it well but there is nothing like hearing Adele do her own song.

    Celine takes care of her voice like its gold, Adele is a smoker she will never last she has no idea the gift she was given, but its no wheres near the sound of Celines instrument.
