magical gift on Wednesday night.
Canada national treasure performed How Does a Moment Last Forever, one of the new songs
from Disney live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast.
The performance marked the first time Dion sang the song live, and it was worth the wait.
The song played through the end credits in the remake, though Kevin Kline\ Maurice sings
it in the film.
The 49-year-old, who seems to be in the middle of a career renaissance of sorts, began by

song.
I was very fortunate to be a part of that magical movie, Beauty and the Beast.
And it was one of the biggest moments of my show business career, she said, adding that
she was so thankful for the opportunity.
Dion s connection to the Disney classic goes back 26 years, when she sang the title track
(with Peabo Bryson) for the 1991 animated movie\rquote s soundtrack.
