One of the all-time great Kellyoke segments.

Over the last five years, Kelly Clarkson has racked up around 900 episodes of her all-conquering daytime hit The Kelly Clarkson Show.

A regular highlight on every episode is when Kelly leans on her parallel career as a pop superstar to serve up some immaculate Kellyoke cover performances.

It wasn't just fans of Kelly and Celine who were blown away by the segment.

Celine Dion herself has revealed that she was in tears at just how wonderful it was.

"Kelly, when I came back from the Olympics, I got to watch and listen to your reaction to my performance on the Eiffel Tower," Celine said.

"It was so sweet to hear you. Your voice was breaking and it touched me so tremendously.

"You were crying, and then you made me start crying. What's up with all this frickin' crying?"
