Celine Dion’s ‘It’s All Coming Back to Me Now’ is having a TikTok renaissance


Celine Dion’s magnum opus, 1996’s “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” has become the sound stage for multiple creators’ recent viral videos across TikTok.

A trend has emerged on the app of people taking a hand at lip-syncing the song during its emotional climax and pretending to be on a stage. The videos have each garnered millions of views as people enjoy the make-shift productions.

One of the earliest creators to hop on to the trend was Jake Schuster (@Jakey_Breaky_Heart) who posted his rendition of Dion’s classic on Dec 15. The video he posted has since gained over 10.7 million views. In it, he is facing away from the camera as he wraps a blanket around his head. He is then seen taking off the blanket and wrapping it around his body to make a halter dress, which perfectly aligns with his caption “Can I get a little commotion for the dress?” His microphone stand: a Swiffer.

“The video blowing up was nothing short of wild. I made it as a joke, sent it to some friends, and they were like ‘You better post that.'” Schuster told the Daily Dot. “I did and I woke up to a million likes in a few hours. Likes are great, but the best part of it all is the positive vibes and the simple joy it brought. It was a silly video that shows the part of all of us we don’t always show, and that’s so cool. It’s relatable and goofy and I love that about it.”

The comments section commended his performance along with his styling choice, with one person saying that the dress he “made” is “better than most dresses on the rack.” Another applauded his “microphone,” writing in the comments: “I thought it was good with the dress but then the mic came off the stand and I clapped!”

Two other creators stepped up the production value by performing in the garage and enlisting more help to up the ante. Blaire and Luke Frey, @ketchupwiththefreys, recorded Blaire in a crimson red gown with a white fur coat paired with bright pink slides as she lip-synced, “Baby, baby, baby! When you touch me like this/And when you hold me like that/It was gone with the wind/But it’s all coming back to me.” Her mic stand consists of a mop but her husband pulls a leaf blower into the frame and added a fan effect to the performance.

Her video was well-received with close to 8 million views and more than 975,000 likes.

Randi Bosin (@mrsbosin) posted a video on Thursday of her performance, with three extra hands. Similar to the Freys, a garage door opens to reveal Bosin with a purple blanket over her as she grips on to a broom and a serving spoon. Dion’s song crescendos and the blanket is pulled off to reveal a white velvet mini dress, another hand takes away the “mic stand” (broom), and the “fan” is turned on.

Dion herself has yet to acknowledge the trend going on. The Daily Dot has reached out to Frey and Bosin for comment.

People Sharing Comforting Foods That Taste Like Home

“I crave these frequently and I can’t explain why. They’re genuinely not good, but I love them anyway.”

We all have a few nostalgic foods that are basically comfort in edible form. Redditor u/Altyrmadiken said, “Nothing hits like a bologna and American cheese sandwich when I’m craving comfort and home.” Then they encouraged other redditors to share by asking, “What food do you love for the feeling, even if not the flavor, shamelessly?”

1.

“For me it’s just a cheap hot dog on a bun with relish and whatever condiments I have in my fridge at the time.”

2.

“A hot roast beef sandwich with gravy poured all over the top, eaten with a fork.”

3.

“There’s nothing like a cold leftover meatloaf sandwich with ketchup. Nothing but cold meatloaf, ketchup, and white bread.”

4.

“A bowl of jasmine rice with a big pat of butter, salt and pepper. It may sound trashy, but it tastes like comfort to me.”

5.

“A sliced, ripe garden tomato on toasted bread with mayo. It tastes like summer in one bite.”

6.

“Easy cheese on Ritz crackers. Yup, I said it.”

“Pizza Lunchables. I crave these a few times a year and I can’t explain why. They’re really not good, but I love them regardless.”

10.

“Turkey, mayo, cranberry sauce between two slices of bread or on a bun. It tastes like bliss to me.”

11.

“When I want something comforting I crack an uncooked egg into a hot bowl of rice and stir it all around. The rice basically cooks the egg but the yolk is still runny.”

12.

“Cinnamon Toast. It’s just white bread fried in butter and topped with cinnamon and sugar. Just like mom used to make.”

17.

“Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. I pick out the chicken because it grosses me out (even as a kid) but I love those mushy, salty noodles. I ate it whenever I was sick as a kid, and whenever I’m not feeling great it’s still what I crave.”

18.

“American hard shell tacos filled with seasoned ground beef, iceberg lettuce, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, sour cream and some Ortega taco sauce.”

19.

“When I don’t feel good or just want something comforting I love mashed potatoes and gravy. It can literally be any kind: homemade, Bob Evans, or even the dry, instant mashed potatoes and a jar of gravy. It always hits the spot.”

“Kraft Mac and Cheese. Sure, I’ve made and eaten way better macaroni in my life, but a good old box of Kraft just brings me back.”

21.

“Nothing like hot buttered noodles with plenty of Parmesan cheese.”

“Cheap deli lunch meat rolled up in Pillsbury crescent rolls. Place them in a baking dish, pour a can of cream of chicken soup on top and bake it. My dad didn’t cook often for us growing up, but he sometimes made this. Now I make it for my kids. It’s super salty and processed, but it tastes like love.”

23.

“Saltine crackers with butter enjoyed in sandwich form.”

24.

“A can of cream of tomato soup and a homemade grilled cheese. Mmmmm.”

25.

“SpaghettiO’s with sliced hot dogs. I hate that I love this so much, but I really do.”

27.

“Just some warm bread with salted butter. It’s nothing fancy, but it always tastes like home.”

“I’m from Hawaii, so Spam anything is my comfort food. I eat it a few times a week. Spam, eggs and rice, Spam musubi, fried noodles with Spam, a Spam sandwich, I could go on and on.”

TikToker says professor refused to let her make up quiz after she tested positive for COVID


The pandemic has changed everyone’s lives in so many ways, and for awhile there, it seemed like experiencing a collective trauma like this might make people more empathetic. Just about everyone was struggling, or at risk of struggling, and as long as we ignored that unfortunate video by Gal Gadot and friends, we could believe that many of us, outside of the particularly rich, really were in similar boats.

But many people’s personal experiences throughout the last two years have shown that empathy hasn’t actually prevailed at all, and one TikToker’s video is reminding others of how far we have to go.

Jill Stone (@jillstonee) posted an email exchange she had last month with a professor at her university, noting that she was making a TikTok as her “coping mechanism” after their interaction. According to her bio, she’s based in Maryland.

“This morning I tested positive for covid so I will not be able to attend class for the excel quiz,” she wrote. 

The TikToker included what looks to be some sort of medical note confirming her positive test, and clarified which class she was in.

A follow-up email from the professor simply thanked Stone for letting her know, but then said, “Given the nature of Excel based quiz, I won’t provide make up test.”

Having to choose between coming to class sick and missing an important test, or between going to work sick and getting fired or not making enough money to pay bills, is something many people have faced over the years.

Even though that should never be the case, there’s something particularly egregious about it when we’re dealing with a worldwide pandemic that has regularly disrupted lives for the past two years and which we are all desperate to get under control. Going to class (or work) while infected with COVID would be selfish and irresponsible, and making that choice difficult for people instead of a no-brainer isn’t right. 

Educators, of all people, should understand that, and viewers were ready to call the absurdity out.

“This happened to me this spring,” @airpodjuulpod wrote. “Just tell him ‘nvm I’ll just show up’ and watch him change his mind.”

“Go to your dean right now! There’s no way this is university policy bc schools require you to not go to class if you have Covid,” suggested @k222250.

Another viewer theorized that “some people become teachers and professors just to go on a power trip.”

Threatening to come to class with COVID was easily the most popular type of response, but Stone ultimately decided to email her professor again and plead her case.

After some chatting, she says her professor ultimately agreed to not include the quiz in her grade at all, allowing her to stay safely isolated while dealing with COVID and satisfying her professor’s claim that she couldn’t give any sort of make-up quiz.

All’s well that ends well for this particular college student, but the fact that these are still conversations that are having to happen at all isn’t a great reflection on the state of society.

The Daily Dot has contacted @jillstonee for further comment.
