Celine Dion has earned comparisons to a pop star 20 years her junior, Miley Cyrus, after performing on the X Factor results show.

Celine, 45, took to the stage to perform her new single and was met with mixed reactions from viewers.

One Twitter user, Karen, wrote as Celine performed: 'Why does Celine Dion sound like Miley Cyrus on #XFactor? Half expecting her to start twerking...'

Another wrote: 'Umm is it just me or does Celine Dion sound like Miley Cyrus on X Factor right now?'

For the most part, reaction was positive, with Carol tweetign: 'Celine Dion. I don't care what you say, she could teach these pretenders a thing or two. Technically stunning and terrific mic technique.'

Cherry added: 'Celine Dion killin' it on the xfactor tonight, she doesn't seem to age either. #Immortal #GoGurl'.

However, one less enamoured viewer was Ritchie, who wrote disparagingly: 'Nice to hear Celine Dion do something a little different to everything else she has done over the past twenty years.........'

And another quipped: 'is celine dion singing the titanic song or a different one we will never know'.

Impervious to the criticism, Celine spoke enthusiastically about UK audiences, telling X Factor host Dermot O'Leary: 'I wish I could stay here much longer, especially with the great welcome I've had.

'It's great to be here, it's been a while.'
