The young Cuban Juliette Ojeda has taken social media by storm — and won Céline Dion's heart — after posting a video in which she performs the iconic song My Heart Will Go On a cappella, the soundtrack of the movie Titanic.
Although the original video was published in July 2023, it has only gained international attention now, after Céline Dion shared it on her social media and publicly reacted to the young woman's performance.
From her home and using a hairbrush as a microphone, Juliette amazed everyone with the power and sensitivity of her voice. Her performance, simple yet full of emotion, eventually reached Céline Dion herself, who not only shared the video but also described her voice and singing as "incredible."
The renowned Canadian singer also dedicated a special message to the young Cuban: “Thank you for sharing your voice in such a pure and brave way. Your light is inspiring, and I support you with all my heart. Never stop dreaming!”
The video shared by Céline Dion has already garnered nearly two million views, which has once again boosted Juliette Ojeda's popularity and made her performance a trending topic across various platforms.
The artist's reaction has sparked a wave of pride among the Cuban community both on and off the Island, filling social media with supportive messages for the young woman. Many emphasize that her talent showcases the artistic potential emerging from Cuban homes, even amidst challenges.
What began in 2023 as a spontaneous interpretation from her room ultimately transformed into an unexpected international recognition, driven by the very original voice of the song that made her dream.
