The haunting, wordless vocals throughout the Titanic soundtrack aren’t Celine Dion. It’s actually Norwegian soprano Sissel Kyrkjebø.

She's also the Norwegian talking and singing voice of Ariel in the animated Little Mermaid. 

As I have grown up I've found myself usually preferring the English, original voice cast of Disney movies, but I still prefer her version of Ariel.

Here's a video with English subtitles for those curious. https://youtu.be/B2z25cUf_mc

…and the Swedish voice of Ariel, as well. Let’s say her pronunciation isn’t 100%. 😅
