It’s not every day that “My Heart Will Go On” gets the full Celtic Thunder treatment—with running, dramatic hand gestures, and a full-on Titanic reenactment at sea. But that’s exactly what happened when Emmet Cahill and Colm Keegan, performing as Celtic Comet, took over the 10th Anniversary Celtic Thunder Cruise in 2017 with a version of the Celine Dion classic no one saw coming.
Instead of a serious ballad, the performance was a mix of vocal flair and pure comedy gold. Emmet and Colm dashed back and forth across the stage, dramatically mimicking Jack and Rose as the crowd erupted in laughter. Their voices were on point—but it was the over-the-top theatrics and Titanic-style drama that truly stole the show.
The performance resurfaced recently and fans can’t get enough of the hilariously theatrical moment. Comments flooded in from long-time Thunderheads and new viewers alike, all praising the duo’s chemistry, comic timing, and total commitment to the bit.
Whether intentional or not, Emmet and Colm gave a cruise crowd a performance that’s still talked about years later—not because it brought people to tears, but because it had them laughing so hard they cried.
