Céline Dion and Jennifer Lopez left fans in awe with their incredible performances at the Elie Saab fashion show in Riyadh last night, both taking the stage by storm in unforgettable moments. Céline dazzled the crowd with powerful renditions of I’m Alive and The Power of Love, marking her first performance since the Olympics earlier this year. Her voice, as always, was nothing short of mesmerizing, reminding everyone why she remains one of the greatest performers of our time.
After wowing the crowd with her show-stopping performance, Céline took a moment to honor Jay Marciano, chairman and CEO of AEG Presents, presenting him with the prestigious Spirit of Life Award. “I’m so honored to be here tonight, to be part of this wonderful and important evening,” Céline said, her voice full of emotion. “This is the first time I’ve been on a stage since I was up on that tower,” she added, referencing her unforgettable performance on top of the Eiffel Tower during the Olympics earlier this year.
Céline, who has been bravely battling stiff-person syndrome for the past two years, also expressed deep gratitude toward the charity for offering patients “the most precious ingredient of all—hope.” It was a heartfelt moment that left the audience inspired and moved.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez lit up the stage, bringing her signature energy to the event. She kicked off her performance with a few lines from the iconic I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, before seamlessly transitioning into some of her biggest hits, including Waiting for Tonight, On The Floor, and Let’s Get Loud. JLo’s performance was full of that unstoppable charisma and fierce spirit we all love.
