Celine Dion felt like she was 'cheating' on the original 'Beauty and the Beast'

Vocal sensation Celine Dion has opened up about recording a song for the upcoming new live-action remake of 'Beauty and the Beast' and confessed that it made her feel like she was 'cheating' on the 1991 Disney original. 

Chatting to Entertainment Tonight about lending her voice to the highly anticipated song, Dion explained that she was initially quite hesitant to get involved:

"30 year later, they [came] back to me. I saw the [new] movie, it's great, but there was something inside of me that was shaking a little bit. They say, 'So what do you think? Would you consider singing this new 'Beauty and the Beast' song, 30 years later?' and I'm like, 'Uh, I have to listen to it again, because I need to be professional.'"

"To be honest with you, I said to them, 'That is so hard for me to commit [to] right now, because I felt like [I was] cheating [on] the first 'Beauty and the Beast'."
