After writing a fan-letter to the Québécoise singer last Friday, a 7-year-old girl was invited to the stage to help Dion, 50, sing one of her many fan-favourite hits, I Surrender.

The young girl, Anjali Singh, travelled from L.A. with her parents to see Dion at one of her remaining residency shows at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum in Las Vegas.

As Singh started singing the 2002 classic, the 4,000-strong venue broke out into applause before even Dion herself praised the aspiring singer.

The My Heart Will Go On singer continued to ask for an autograph.

“If she goes back to America’s Got Talent, then maybe she’s going to win, and I’m going [to want] an autograph.
