It's no secret that Celine Dion is a talented singer. But, a singer who also sings in Mandarin…that's another story.

The "I'm Alive" crooner was on hand to welcome the year of the snake on Sunday, celebrating the Chinese New Year in Beijing with a performance of the classic Chinese folk song "Jasmine Flower." 

And she did so in nearly flawless Mandarin.

Dion hit the stage with Chinese soprano Song Zuying for the performance, and also sang "My Heart Will Go On," which made her a household name in China, according to the BBC.
