Composer Etienne Guéreau noted that the version we heard on television was a "corrected playback," while an anonymous sound engineer expressed that the show was "100% playback." Some experts pointed out that the rehearsal and the actual performance were strikingly similar, emphasizing that this situation would be technically impossible for a live performance.

On Thursday, Dion announced on Instagram that the "live" recording of the performance was broadcast on various platforms, sharing a message referencing the song lyrics: "God brings together those who love each other."
