What an enchanting moment! Celine Dion surprised fans with her rendition of the new song "How Does a Moment Last Forever," Wednesday night during her Las Vegas show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Hailed by many around the world as the songstress for all seasons, the 49-year-old artist sang the touching song from Disney’s live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast" live for the first time.

"Singing that song for the first time tonight, 'How Does a Moment Last Forever,' was very emotional for me as well as nerve-wracking," Dion said in a taped interview which will be included as a bonus feature on the "Beauty and the Beast" DVD being released June 6. "And it's a beautiful song."

Fans know it too well that the Canadian chanteuse recorded the theme song (with Peabo Bryson) to Disney's hit animated feature "Beauty and the Beast" in 1992 — which won an Academy Award for Best Music, Original Song.

So, was she happy about her performance? "I don’t wanna sound pretentious, but I think we did good (singing it for the first time). I'm happy, I'm very happy," Dion said. And we’re so happy for her as well.
