"My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic sung by Celine Dion
So what won?
"My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic
What would I have voted for?
"I Can Go the Distance" from Hercules
I'm a little surprised myself.
Analysis
1997 is a great year. Four terrific songs and a late 90's half-assed angst ballad. (You can't win 'em all). Of course "My Heart Will Go On" won in the year of Titanic. I honestly believe if it weren't nominated (fat chance) then "I Can Go the Distance" would have won. It's more important to the film. "My Heart Will Go On" is just an end credits song. Face it. It is.
