Elvis’s ‘If I Can Dream’ from 1968, was remastered for this duet with Celine Dion, and ‘The King’ was brought back to life on screen.

The crowd went nuts when Celine Dion walked out with a life-like hologram of Elvis. During the magical remastered duet of ‘If I Can Dream,’ ‘The King’s’ iconic voice brought nostalgia to people that words can barely describe.

When the legends begin singing together, everyone is mesmerized by the duet made possible by evolving technology. Even though Celine Dion was there in real life, the Elvis hologram is what really stole the show.

How did they do this? It’s actually hard to tell the difference between the hologram Elvis and real-life Celine Dion. You can feel the presence of the long-gone ‘King Of Rock N Roll,’ as the two go back and forth sharing the spotlight.

When the camera circles the dynamic duo, every angle looks as real as it gets.

Everything about the hologram seems real, you can even see the detail in Elvis’s face as he sang his hit song.

At one point, the camera crew does a close up of Elvis and his face gives you no clue that it’s not really him. All the maneuvers the hologram performs are just like the live shows ‘The King’ used to deliver.

You’d think there would be some sign that it’s an illusion, but you won’t find any. Throughout the whole show, the life-like hologram mimics Elvis Presley to a tee, leaving people on the internet baffled.
