Celine Dion shows off impressive rap skills on 'Ellen'

If anything, the 48-year-old singer proved there's nothing she can't do with her million-dollar chops.

Although hesitant at first, Dion rapped lyrics from several hit songs including Nelly's "Hot in Herre," LMFAO's "Shots" and even Missy Elliott's "Work It."

But when it came to Britney Spears' 2013 hit, "Work B**ch," the Grammy-winner refused to repeat the derogatory lyrics and even said, "I could not go on with what was written there, sorry about that."

That's okay Celine Dion, our hearts will go on.
