A meeting of two over-the-top pop minds was said a few years ago to have happened. If work between chest-pounding pop balladeer Celine Dion and legendarily eccentric producer Phil Spector hadn't been aborted in its early stages, fans of the Canadian superstar might have heard her best, most interesting music. As it is, Dion has shown herself game for a challenge, notably in a collaboration with Meat Loaf svengali Jim Steinman on the offbeat opus "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." All the Way... A Decade of Song is just what you'd expect of a multiplatinum seller's greatest-hits package, but it's also more. Displaying a generosity toward her fans, Dion cherry picks nine signature singles ("My Heart Will Go On," "Because You Loved Me," "Beauty and the Beast"), then fills the rest of the CD with seven new cuts when one or two would have done the commercial trick. Most of these are just what admirers and detractors would expect, and Sinatra lovers will hope that All the Way's title track is the last time his family allows an invented Frank-and-random-celebrity duet to take place. But the textures of "I Want You to Need Me" and "Live," while hardly understated, are more measured. They give hope that Dion may yet take herself to a higher artistic plateau, while still pleasing her millions of listeners. --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars Celine is great.......2007-06-28

For me, this is easy. I've always loved Celine so for me, she can do no wrong. For some, the CD may not contain their favorites, but how can you put them all on one CD? There's not a bad, or even so-so song on the disc. Love it!

5 out of 5 stars WOW / The sound is great !!!!.......2007-06-02

This is the best CD of Celine Dion !!

5 out of 5 stars Celine Dion.......2007-05-30

I decided to buy this CD since there's definitely a handful of Celine songs that I love, all of which are included here. I first came to know Celine's talent when as a little kid I had the "Beauty and the Beast" videotape and I would leave the film playing after the movie had ended just to hear the theme song during the closing credits (how's that for a 7 year-old boy?) For the next decade and a half, I witnessed her transition from a promising new vocalist to a full-fledged diva in the ranks of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston (oddly enough, her big break came relatively late). Anyway, some great songs on this album, my personal favorite being "The Power Of Love" and "That's The Way It Is".

4 out of 5 stars Nice album........2007-05-24

The cd looks brand new, but during shipping, a piece of the cover broke off, but that's okay the cd itself remains unaffected. Thanks, the songs are some of my favorite.

5 out of 5 stars Greatness.......2007-05-13

This CD is chock full of Celine's greatest songs. It is a pleasure to listen to all the way through.

Amazon.com essential recording

Canadian thrush Celine Dion is primarily a singles artist, which is a good thing, because the soaring, epic style she brings to nearly all of her material is thrilling in four-minute bursts, but nearly overwhelming at album length. Falling into You is Dion's finest attempt to temper that approach--mixing low-key love songs and dance pop between showstoppers such as "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and the Up Close and Personal movie theme, "Because You Loved Me." Dion's take on Tina Turner's Phil Spector experiment "River Deep, Mountain High" is game, but there's little doubt which singer hails from the Great White North and which one is from Nutbush, Tennessee. --Daniel Durchholz

Album Details

Dion's Breakthru Classic Album Includes Two Tracks Not Found on the Us Version: "You Make Me Feel (Like a Natural Woman)" and "Your Light".

This CD was the first CD that brought me to really know who Celine Dion was. It was the first CD I bought of hers. I then started to look for other Celine Dion CDs. I now have her entire collection. Even the French ones. Celine is the BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD. You go Celine. Susan.

5 out of 5 stars celine dion-falling into you.......2007-04-16

Order was fast, disc was in excellent shape, very nice music.

5 out of 5 stars Falling Into You.......2007-02-24

By far the most diverse album of her career, Falling into you explored a new sound for Dion including Pop, Regaee, Gospel and even country. A project that took Dion's music and popularity to superstar levels. This album featured a true diversity and very fresh sound that has not been present on Dion's other releases.

The strong opener "It's all coming back to me now" is an epic masterpeice that draws the listener into a variety of emotions and is a very visual, dramatic song. Dion also glides through her tradmark ballads, "Because You Loved Me, All By Myself, and "I Love You" effortlessly. "Falling Into You" is a bit moody and dark and a change for Dion. Dion seems to be the most interesting when she stretches herself like on the very fresh sound of "Seduces Me".

Falling Into You is truly a fusion of new sounds and experimental music. This is by far Dion's most critically aclaimed work to date.

5 out of 5 stars Second buy.......2007-01-09

Husband needed it on his iPod and the CD was at our summer home.

5 out of 5 stars Still my favorite after all these years.......2006-12-23

Celine Dion's voice is too amazing for words. No matter what albums I receive of hers or what style she is singing, she's amazing. But I'm still extremely partial to this album. This is one of those albums where you can listen to every song and actually like or love every song. The first CD that made me appreciate her talent is still the best to me.

In collaborating on Miracle, Celine Dion and her partner in baby love Anne Geddes carefully sidestepped the L-word--a smart move, considering that the songs captured here, despite their electric-blanket warmth, aren't always lullaby-like in their delivery. Though the collaboration is about babies--the liner notes to this CD provide a sneak peek at Geddes' visual wizardry available in both the expanded box set and book--Miracle is not necessarily for them. Which works out great for Celine fans who have made contact with their maternal sides. More than anything, the disc plays as a valentine to new mothers: "Le Loup, La Biche et le Chevalier (Une Chanson Douce)," "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," and John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy" get the trademark melt-away vocal treatment, causing the need to keep a box of tissues at the ready. While tenderness flows from each track as consistently as formula from a baby bottle, though, the chanteuse doesn't shy away from the passion and note-pounding that are also her trademarks. Thus, the miracle of Miracle lies not in its ability to soothe the tiny creatures it swollen-heartedly celebrates, but in its ability to set the sentiments of listeners who love them to song. --Tammy La Gorce

5 out of 5 stars Lullaby CD review.......2007-04-07

Celine Dion does beautiful remakes of some classic lullabies and also sing new music with very deep and meaninful lyrics. This is by far the best nursery lullaby CD I've heard. It is the perfect gift for a new mom or baby shower gift.

3 out of 5 stars Meh...Could live without it.......2007-03-30

The CD is OK. It's Celine so you know the singing is stellar. But in terms of variety (different tempo and melodies, etc) all the songs tend to sound the same so there is never a "climax" in the arrangement.
A better lullaby CD is "A Mother's Gift" from Carnie Wilson.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Music! .......2007-03-28

I have enjoyed the music and Celine's beautiful voice. I would recommend this CD to anyone, especially with small children. My son (who is 15 months old) loves it and fall's asleep to it almost every night. It's delightful!

5 out of 5 stars Defnitely a miracle.......2007-01-20

A beautiful voice, beautiful music, great for a baby or a mom. Makes a great gift.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Celine's best si D'EUX.......2007-07-08

I will comment on each track individually:

1. ET S'IL N'EN RESTAIT QU'UNE is a very good first track out of the album. I enjoy this one a great deal. It is very modern, and yet, has a flair of POUR QUE TU M'AIMES ENCORE. It reiterates the same topic. The "I-would-do-anything-for-you"-type of song. Very well written by Françoise Dorin, an author who has illustrated herself over the past 30 years in literature, and in movies as well.

2. IMMENSITE has grown on me. I enjoy this one as well. This is an interesting song written by a young author who specializes in writing on lesbian love. This is a well-crafted song.

3. I really like the beat of A CAUSE. This is a little different for a French song by Celine. Once again, Françoise Dorin wrote it. It almost sounds like a piece taken out of a book. Very well crafted as well, with a nice dance beat.

4. JE CHERCHE l'OMBRE is another nice tune written by Lise Payette, born in Verdun, France but educated in Quebec. Interesting choice of texts since she is known to be a feminist in her own right. This song is anything but. It is well-written. It is a very sensual song, overshadowed by a lot of sincerity meant to denote intimacy in the light of love vs. the strict physicial approach.

5. MES PARADIS is a nice song. The tune itself reminds me of LES DERNIERS SERONT LES PREMIERS from D'eux. It is a nice catchy song. It feels like it's been heard before. This being said, it is a nice song on the feeling of longing for her "paradise" that she is seeking.

6. LA DIVA is a great song, which I did not know what to do with originally. I always liked Maria Callas. Her voice is so pure to me. I can see why Celine admires her. The track is nice, and could be a single, based on her show on Canadian TV. Celine mentioned that she has always felt a special connection to La Callas. Maybe a movie in the works? The idea is out. She is proving on the last minute of the song, that she may have the chops. The song is about the despair that the Callas felt throughout her life, and how music rescued her from her dark moments. Celine has had a similar path whereby music has "saved" her from the dull moments of her earlier part of life, where boredom of school set in. Written by Denise Bombardier, a Canadian author.

7. FEMME COMME CHACUNE is one of the songs I like least. The intro reminds me of another song by Celine entitled CHERCHE ENCORE, which has never really been a favorite of mine. Not quite a filler, but just easy to overlook. I don't know the author. This song sounds very French for some reason.

8. SI J'ETAIS QUELQU'UN is an OK song. I don't quite know what to do with this song. Not bad, but I am just on the fence as to liking it. It is a bit dull, and contributes to the CD getting 4 stars.

9. JE NE SUIS PAS CELLE feels like one of Christine Orban. A bit tedious to read with many details. The tune fits to the lyrics, but it is quite boring, and almost depressing. I guess that's what they went for, as it works for that purpose. This reminds me of the song TU NAGES, which is a drag in and of itself (just a personal opinion). It feels like it takes ages to finish.

10. Written by a playwright, LE TEMPS QUI COMPTE reminds me of DESTIN as well. The texture of the lyrics seem to mirror the time spent since D'EUX for some reason. Pretty good soung. More upbeat.

11. LETTRE DE GEORGE SAND A ALFRED DE MUSSET is written by George Sand, a great figure of French literature from the XIX century. It sounds like it's a page of literature that is coming to life. This song, while well crafted lyrically (taken from an actual letter from the author to her lover Alfred de Musset), which means that it almost does not feel like it should be put to a tune. It is working OK though. Not a favorite of mine.

12. ON S'EST AIME A CAUSE is one of my favorite songs on the entire album. It is beautiful, and an extension of track 3 A CAUSE (written by same author). I enjoy listening this song an awful lot. Celine's voice is at its best. It is about the reason why one would fall in love, and fast-forwarding many years, and realizing that the present time requires for love to be established DESPITE many ailments that may have crept into the relationship. It really is a nice reflection on the theory of love and relationships. To me, this song seems to go with MES PARADIS, track # 5 on this album. The progression of these three songs (3,5 and 12) seem to tell a story of their own. Well done.

13. BERCEUSE (lullaby) is an OK song. It sounds like a lullaby too, which is great. Canadian-native Janette Bertrand wrote the song. She is also a comedienne. The only hang-up I have here is that it is hard for me to differentiate this tune from the DIVA song. On that song she mentions being grateful to know the Callas, and that she is the reason why she is on stage, while this one seems to be putting the stress on her life on stage because of her son. It is a bit confusing to me. I know that this is not supposed to be a book, but because the authors are so prominent, I don't seem to be able to separate the two.

So, overall, this is a very good album. My favorite tracks are 1-3, 6 and 12. The least favorite ones are 8, 9 and 11. The others are all good. I think this is a very original concept, which will prove to be another highlight in French music. I would definitely recommend it.

Doubters who expect little from Celine Dion but turgid ballads will be surprised by her return to recording after several years. On A New Day Has Come, the big production numbers most associated with the Canadian superstar's name ("My Heart Will Go On," "Because You Loved Me") are evoked by the two versions of "I Surrender" and somewhat lifeless covers of "At Last" and "Nature Boy." At the same time, though, Dion shows her willingness to stretch on the classic-house homage "Sorry for Love" and the unavoidably catchy "Right in Front of You" and "Ten Days." The album's unexpected, often low-key production allows Dion to emote in a straightforward way that gracefully skirts the chest thumping of past days, and the relative subtlety works in her favor. Still, New Day will hardly prove a shocker for her many fans. Crowning the conservative Dion a forward-thinking diva seems a bit premature, but this agreeable record opens the door to such a possibility. --Rickey Wright

4 out of 5 stars New Day for Celine's Career -- Emotion over Commercial Appeal.......2007-06-23

In 2002, a year after her son Rene-Charles was born, Celine Dion offered the album which marked an interesting change in her career. While in the 1990's she gradually rose from a talented, already successful singer (witness the 1992 eponymous album) to the superstar of the highest high rank (thanks to her best ever "Falling Into You" and blockbusting though too saccharine Titanic-propelled "Let's Talk About Love"), this CD appeared after a hiatus of over two years. This interruption was initially planned to last longer, but the songbird clearly could not wait to return to the studio and share her fresh-mommy joy with the world.

The album debuted on No.1 slot of the US chart alright and in other countries it was also expected with feverish anticipation (too many of us missed her), but received rather a cold reception from the critics and, interestingly, did not get a single Grammy nomination. Despite this, Celine's "New Day" was really new -- in a positive sense!

Put simply, Dion's new situation life obviously helped her infuse the generous set of 17 songs with an incredibly believable dose of palpable emotions. Beside the title track, an ode to the relationship with the new baby, this is nowhere more evident than in the ode to motherly love, the Mutt Lange-penned "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)", where Celine, the youngest of 14 siblings apparently draws from a relationship with her own mom. Dion's singing on ballads is less melismatic (and thus less annoying -- this was a problem with "Let's Talk About Love"), ballads are sublime, many of them truly beautiful ("Have You Ever Been In Love", "Prayer"), and faster songs are more numerous than on "Let's Talk About Love", making the record varied and not too long even at almost 73 minutes (European version) of playing time. Nice, if not particularly memorable are the diva's shots at two standards -- Etta James' "At Last" and "Nature Boy", fresh off the then film-hit "Moulin Rouge".

A year after this, Celine put out another, this time a too ordinary CD for her standard, "One Heart", and her devotion to motherhood cause continued on Anne Geddes mono-thematic collab "Miracle". None of the two achieved the overall quality of "New Day", which, although employing less-known songwriters and having spawned no major hits, still remains the best Celine Dion CD of the new millennium so far.

5 out of 5 stars love it.......2007-06-11

This has turned out to be the best CD i own. All the songs are awesome. I listened to celine before but never bought a cd of hers. Now i want to buy all of them. It came quickly and it's amazing

5 out of 5 stars There's a reason she's a diva.......2007-03-11

It's because she's good. Celine Dion has become one of the most famous diva popsters of all time, and this album showcases some of her most satisfying and memorable songs, from the soaring "I Surrender" to the rivetingly catchy "I"m Alive" and "Right in Front of You". Her hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)" is an enduring classic, and virtually every song on this disc can be played over and over without losing its flavor. She does descend into showy histrionics a few times("At Last" and "The Wrong One Loves You Right") but overall an intensely satisfying and glorious collection. Her "A New Day has Come" and "I'm Alive" are two of my favorite songs of all time, with their rhythmic affirmation of life and hope. A good introduction for new fans and a must for any old one.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2007-02-17

Celine Dion at her best. That's all I am going to say! This is one of my all time favorites.

5 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece for Music.......2007-02-08

This is Definetly My Favourite Album from Celine Dion, From 2002, and Ultimatly One of my Favourite Albums of All Time...
The Album as a Whole is Extremely Solid, with not just Great singles, but Great music throughout the Album.
This Album was obviously very personal to Celine. This was the start of a New Chapter in her life. The Song "A New Day Has Come" is about the birth of her baby son, whilst tracks like "Goodbye" is about the loss of her mother. This is one of the reasons why it is such a Masterpiece, because Celine felt the songs and because the songs were personal they are able to touch the people listening to them, who may be in the same circumstances.
I Am Writing this Review as I listen to the album and here is my rating of my fave tracks - 15 out of the 17 Tracks on the Album.

1."I'm Alive" - This song is just that. It makes you feel Alive. It is Upbeat and Uplifting. It has a Beautiful Melody and Rhythm. The lyrics are also beautiful, and it's no wonder this song became a single, as it is one of the best on the album. It's my 2nd Fave on the Album.
It talks about the feeling you get when the one you love is around you and you get an energy of them. The Song captures this Feeling Perfectly.
"When You Call On Me. When I Heare You Breathe.
I Get Wings To Fly. I Feel That I'm Alive.
When You look At Me I Can Touch The Sky.
I Know That I'm Alive
When You Last A Day. I Just Drift Away.
All My Wrorries Die. I'm Glad That I'm Alive" 5/5

2. "Right In Front Of You" - Is Another great song about having faith to find love in your life. It just sounds great and uplifting like the previous track. "Love Can Withstand A Storm. In The Final Hour We'll Find The Joy In Living." It sounds very Canadian. 4/5

3. "Have You Ever Been In Love" - This is a Beautiful Ballad and a single from the Album.It sounds very Jazz type and has A Beautiful Melody. The Lyrics are Even more beautiful
"Have You Ever Been In Love. You Could Touch The Moonlight.
When Your Heart is Shooting Stars.
You're Holding Heaven in Your Arms
Have You Ever Been So In Love.
Have You Ever Walked On Air.
Ever Felt Like You Were Dreamin'
When You Never Thought It Could. But It really Feels That Good.
Have You Ever Been In Love" 4/5

4. "Rain Tax" is a good Pop Song. The Lyrics aren't great, but it has a good tune. It's Inevitable she would fall in love with the man in the song she is singing about. "When You See What I Want. What I Want Is You" - 4/5

5. "A New Day Has Come" - This is the Radio Version, and is my Favourite version. My Favourite Track On The Album. Its A Pop Ballad, and has A Wonderful message. It talks about the Birth of her New Son. It has the Most Beautiful Lyrics
"Let The Rain Come Down, And Wash Away My Tears.
Let It Fill My Soul, And Drown my Fears.
Let it Shatter The Walls For A New Sun.
A New Day Has Come.
Where It Was Dark. Now Theres Light.
Where There Was Pain. Now Theres Joy.
Where There Was Weakness. I Found My Strength.
All In The Eyes Of A Boy" - 5/5

6. "Ten Days" - This is Quite A Good song. It's not the best on the album, but it's good. - 3/5

7. "Goodbye[The Saddest Word]" - This is a song about Celine's mother, who passed away while she was recording this album. The song is Beautiful, but I Can't help but feel sad when I Listen to it.
"Goodbye's The Saddest Word I'll Ever Hear.
Goodbye's The Last Time I Will Hold You Near.
Someday You'll Say That Word.
And I Will Cry. It'll Break my Heart To Hear You Say Goodbye."
There is Also a Great Spanish Guitar Instrumantation. This Song Captures the way we All feel about a Lost one at some point in our life. 5/5

8. "Prayer" is a Beautiful song that says how Children are Our Future, and how they should rejoyce and cherish life. Even though Sombre at times it is still Happy and Uplifting, with a Blatant Message of Hope. 4/5

9. "I Surrender" is a Good song about Surrendering everything to have A New Love, and Begin a Better Life. It's A Pretty good song. Geline Sings Well In It Too. 4/5

10. "Super Love" is Quite A Good Song, that Borders on Pop and Dance. It Talks about not settling for less in a relationship. "Some People Never Find Out, How It Feels To Be Feeling No Doubt" It's Not Great, nor Is One Of The Albums High points, but It's not Worth Skipping either. 3/5

11. "Sorry For Love" is one Of The Albums High Points. It's A Great Dance Song, and has A Great bridge where Celine holds a Powerful note for at least 10 seconds. One of My Favourites. 5/5

12. "Aun Existe Amour" is a Beautiful Spanish song. Celine's Vocals sound beautiful in this song. It also has Beautiful Instramentation. Beautiful Piano Chords and Sounds very Spanish and Lush. Beautiful is the only word that will describe it. This is Another Favourite of Mine. 5/5

13. "The Greatest Reward" is Another Beautiful ballad. The Lyrics are also Heartfelt.
"Now The Greatest Reward. Is The Light In Your Eyes.
The Sound Of Your Voice. And The Touch Of Your Hand.
You Make Me Who I Am."
A True Essence Of Love Is Captured In This Song. 5/5

14. "When The Wrong One Loves You Right" is A Good Pop Song. 4/5.

15. is The Original Version of "A New Day Has Come". This Version is Beautiful, But I Preffer The Radio Remix.

Overall This Is A Great Album, and ALL CELINE DION FANS AND MUSIC LOVERS SHOULD OWN IT. The Best time of Day to Listen to this Album is The Early Morning, Just as The Sun Is Rising. A New Day Really Has Come When You're Listing to this Record...And You'll Be Glad To Be Alive!

The 1997 Academy Award winner for Best Dramatic Score, James Horner's Titanic was the first soundtrack to reach the No. 1 slot on the Billboard charts in two decades; it also seemed to rival the Big Mac in sales for the year. And what can we say about Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On"; would "ubiquitous" suffice?

Horner's combination of synths, chorale, and orchestra perfectly underscores the action in director James Cameron's 20th-century melodrama. It's a finely honed piece of Hollywood craftsmanship from a composer who has tackled more musically adventuresome projects in his career. FYI: Horner's follow-up to Titanic was the score for a different disaster: Deep Impact. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Not memorable? I digress!.......2007-06-03

My review is not only to express the love I feel for this soundtrack, but to also to serve as a rebuttal for less favorable reviews.

James Horner's music for Titanic is just wonderful. I cannot even begin to describe what it means to me, personally. Every song is beautiful. Each portrays the emotions of the film with perfection. If you believe that the songs switch emotions too quickly, as if from happiness to despair, I see where you're coming from. However, that is the emotion needed to be expressed! Titanic was a disaster. So many of the passengers were filled with hope and happiness, and then it all came crashing down upon them. It all happened so quickly. For those who say the music is not very memorable, I disagree completely. I put the soundtrack on in the car, and my brother (who is currently 12 years old) remembered it immediately. He has not seen the movie since 1998, when he was three years old. That, to me, proves that this soundtrack is not only beautiful, but is easily recalled because of the fact.

Now, you are open to your own opinions. But this is mine. This soundtrack means so much to me, as does the film from which it comes. It is beautiful, and so emotional. I could listen to it all day, and sometimes I can't listen to it without crying. It's very powerful. I, of course, recommend it, but not if you haven't seen Titanic. If you didn't like Titanic, I don't even know why you would consider it, if only to post bad reviews. Again, this is just an incredibly beautiful soundtrack.

Sincerely,
A 15-year-old fan.

5 out of 5 stars As Good as the Movie itself! .......2007-05-26

The music creates a mood that captures the movie and the story - but it also is great for listening to as you sit writing on your computer, relax in your backyard on a summer day or sit in the front room by the fire on a cold winter night. It makes your mind reflect on your own life and is great for day dreaming. The music is soft and emotional and yet relaxing as well.

If you loved the movie you will enjoy the music even more.

2 out of 5 stars Relive the Movie by Memory.......2007-05-13

I was somewhat disappointed that the CD was predominantly instrumental, but on the other hand as one listened, the music moved you emotionally through each scene of the movie. A strange and different way to experience the "Titanic" movie.

4 out of 5 stars a very good cd, except for the fact they excluded some songs.......2007-05-09

Titanic is one of my favorite movies and part of that is the music in the movie. The music can be beautiful, haunting, intense, happy, and sad. The only thing I wish they had was the 3rd class music because that is really my favorite song.
Never an Absolution-(3.5/5)its not the best song, but I still think its pretty. i'm pretty sure the part after the bagpipes is the begining of the movie.
Distant Memories-(4/5)its when Rose first sees the picture and calls lovett and then comes. i think the begining is played again when she looks at her picture and when she looks at various parts of the ship remembering what they looked like.
Southhampton-(4/5)the energetic music that appears when the ship comes "back to life". its an ok song, but I like it better then Leaving port and Take her to Sea, Mr Murdoch.
Rose-(5/5)this is one of my favorites. its the melody that is my heart will go on. I actually like this version better then my heart will go on. Its more romantic and haunting.
Leaving Port-(2/5)this is probably my least favorite song mostly because it has the unfortunate fate of being right after one of the best songs. I like the begining but after that its like a little Southhampton and Take her to Sea, Mr. Murdoch.
Take her to Sea, Mr Murdoch-(3.5/5)i like this song in the begining and then the end. the middle is long winded and I usually find my self not listening to that part. This is when they spead up the ship and they show how it spead up.
Hard to Starboard-(5/5)another version of my heart will go on sense this is when Rose and Jack are doing it. then it turns into an intense slightly scary song that takes place right before they hit the iceberg till they hit the iceburg and come to a full stop.
Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave-(5/5)this is probably my favorite song just because its gorgeous and this is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. I wish the song was longer, but oh well. The end of the song is when Cal chases them down the stairs with a gun.
The Sinking-(4.5/5)its a very intense song and I love it for the most part. Though sometimes I skip over it or skip parts. It's a little long, but I think they used most of this in the movie.
Death of Titanic-(4/5)my biggest complaint is that its long and I do skip over parts. The last part saves it with the scary sound affects that are supposed to be peoples screams I think. This song has a little bit of everything, though I can only place some of it in the movie.
A Promise Kept-(4/5)its spooky but calm. this is starts right before Jack dies and ends when Rose saves herself.
A life so Changed-(5/5)maybe I just like the vocals or something but this is one of my favorites. Its played when Rose and the other 700 people are saved by Carpathia.
An Ocean of Memories-(4/5)like with Death of titanic its long enough that I skip to parts I like. I think it contains the end part where she goes to heaven.
My Heart will go on-(4.5/5)i like this song, but there are moments that I think she over does it a bit.
Hymn to the Sea-(5/5)this is another one of my favorites. i think this was the song that was never used. to bad really its one of the best songs on this cd.

2 out of 5 stars Overrated because of one hit single.......2007-03-13

With the exception of "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion, Horner's soundtrack is not a masterpiece but a bunch of stinking skunks who are masked by a field of sweet smelling flowers.

For a soundtrack score it is not riveting and really lacks any emotional connection to the film. Overall it is just really overrated and the hit single got played so much that the masses just fell into a typical zombie trance and went marching to the store to buy it. This was after they kept returning to the theater to see a fictional tale of love built around a tragic, awful event.

It didn't stop them though; they could not get enough of seeing all those depictions of people freezing to death in the water. Overall a below average soundtrack that road the coat tails of a hit single that was shoved down our throats for an entire year.

5 out of 5 stars Best in a long time.......2007-06-22

This is Celine's best work in a long time, IMO. Her voice is still flawless. It's nice to hear her work with new people, too. The packaging for this album is very nice too.

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2007-06-15

Celine really blew me away with this CD. I defiantly recommend this album! Top Five Songs: A Cause, La Diva, Femme Comme Chacune, On S'est Aimé A Cause, Le paradis, Je Cherche L'ombre. The packaging is beautiful, it folds out contains two booklets (liner notes and a glossy photo booklet). The DVD contains clips recording sessions, photo shoots and a video shoot/blooper.

4 out of 5 stars Dion does not disappoint...........2007-06-10

Ok, it's not Jean-Jacques Goldman, and it's not young Celine anymore.

D'elles portrays a collection of songs written by different women from the french and franco-canadian scene. I'll go through them one by one:

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une: 4/5
**** First single off the album, a very powerful and sentimental ballad, you can almost hear the old celine in this one.

Immensite: 4/5
**** A very nice song, second single. Great music by Veneruso, who wrote many songs in celine's last french album. The string arrangements are very nice.

A cause: 3/5
**** A fast-paced , catchy song, kind of melodramatical. Still, i think there's something missing. The arrangements are not perfect, and celine sounds nasal.

Je cherche l'ombre: 5/5
**** One of the best songs in the album, if not the best. Beautiful music, mixing the piano with kenas, violins and accordeon.. quite a la francaise. Celine's voice sounds soft and pure, and then powerful and still pure.

Les paradis: 2.5/5
***** Filler material.. sounds like "Contre Nature" but with less quality in the writing. I skip this one.

La Diva: 4/5
***** Weird song.. Celine sings along Maria Callas,kinda reminds me of "Papillon", but a little more nasal. There's a problem with some high notes, Celine seems to be stretching to get up there. Good song though, you get a few seconds Celine singing lirical.

Femme comme chacune: 2/5
***** Bad song, celine's voice sounds awful, and the song itself is bad contemporary, trashy pop. Skip it

Si j'etais quelqu'un: 3.5/5
***** Nice song.. it varies from soft to bombastic/rocky.. you'll see. Not bad, but forgettable.

Je ne suis pas celle 3.5/5
***** The beginning sounds like "Tu Nages", but not as good as that one. It looks like a Lara Fabian song... too soap-opera dramatic.

Le temps qui compte: 4/5
***** Very nice and catchy song. Also sounds like "Contre Nature", it could be a good choice for a single.

Lettre de George Sand a Alfred de Musset: 2.5/5
***** hmmm Celine whispers too much in this one. Doesn't sound too nice. It's a slow and boring song.

On s'est aime a cause: 5/5
***** Great song, it's a variation from song #3 but a lot better, more ballad-like. It got stuck in my head for some days. I would really like to see this as a single, although I don't think that will happen.

Berceuse: 4.5/5
***** Berceuse, which means "lullaby", is a very beautiful soft song, alla "Memoire d'Abraham", just the piano, the strings and Celine. The lyrics seem to be dedicated to her son, Rene-Charles Angelil.

5 out of 5 stars A NEW DAY IN VEGAS.......2007-06-13

This show that Celine does in Vegas, is a must see show. She is outstanding, and performs outstanding. She wears the most beautiful clothes. I have seen her show 8 times, and going in August, and have tickets for her last show on Dec. 15th. This will be the show of all shows in Vegas. There will never be an other singer that will TOP CELINE DION. Susan

3 out of 5 stars As good as the show.......2007-01-10

This CD is great to listen to and even better after seeing the performance in person. My only regret is that there seems to be a couple of songs missing from the CD that she sings during her show in Legas.

5 out of 5 stars A New Day....Live in Las Vegas.......2006-11-10

Without a doubt Celine is a great singer, she has a voice as beautiful as Barbra Streisand. I really enjoy listening to her.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2006-11-10

This CD reminds me of when my husband and I went to see her recently. I love the CD. It captures the moment for me. I listen to it All The Time. I have recommended it to everyone I know.

3 out of 5 stars Great as always.......2006-08-04

Celine's songs are always very good; however, still awaiting the DVD of the entire Las Vegas show; not the bits and pieces as was included with the CD.

Celine Dion's second English-language album made her a star all over the world, not just in France and her native Quebec. The tag-team production work is sometimes heavy-handed, swathing Dion in background choruses and gauzy keyboard washes, but her voice soars above it all, showing off her incomparable range and power. The public certainly responded to Dion's talent, landing her four singles from the album--"If You Asked Me To," "Nothing Broken But My Heart," "Love Can Move Mountains," and "Beauty and the Beast" (a duet with Peabo Bryson and the theme to the hit animated movie)--in the Top 40. --Daniel Durchholz

4 out of 5 stars Celine Dion Finds Her Style (3.5 stars).......2007-03-25

"Celine Dion", the eponymous album of the 24-year-old new diva, did not cause quite a marketing splash at the time of its release, as the Canadian singer worked on the territory successfully occupied by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston at the time. But nevertheless, it's an album full of great songs with only a few fillers -- especially so, if you're into quality adult contemporary music. It finds songwriter Diane Warren at the top of her game -- although four years later she penned Celine's penultimate "Because You Loved Me" and Toni Braxton's classic "Un-break My Heart", she offers a handful of minor gems here, too. Songs like "If You Asked Me To", "Nothing Broken But My Heart", "I Love You, Goodbye" and "Water From the Moon" sound tried and good after all these years. Also hard to overlook here is the work of Mariah Carey's then-producer Walter Afanasieff, whose contribution, including the soaringly excellent "If You Could See Me Now" really feel like taken from Mariah's "Emotions" or "Music Box" albums. Celine could also be proud of her version to the Disney classic "Beauty and the Beast", sung as a duet with Peabo Bryson. (He later went on to record even a bigger Disney smash, "A Whole New World" from "Aladdin"). Prince also shows his romantic songwriting face in "With This Tear" and even Kenny G appears on a well-done, although rather synth-heavy collaboration "Halfway to Heaven". The album spawned a few Top 20 hits and remains a well-produced affair full of romantic songs sung in a great, youthful voice.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD.......2006-07-09

I highly recommend this CD. It was the first one I bought of Celine Dion and fell in love with her music. My favorite song is "Water from the Moon" and it can not be found on her greatest hits CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2006-01-25

Celine Dion just has such a beautiful voice and the material she has to work with on this album is wonderful. I've listened to all the songs many, many times and my favorites have changed. At this moment I am just blown away by "With This Tear". Her interpretation of this song is perfection. I love to get lost in a song and just forget everything that is going on around me. This song does it for me. It is sad but at the same time so hauntingly beautiful. I was surprised to read that Prince wrote this song but it just solidifies my belief that he is a musical genius. Celine Dion is truly one of the most gifted and talented singers to ever walk this earth.

5 out of 5 stars Possibly her best album.......2005-08-31

I love this cd. I think that this and her first English album were/are her best. The songs on here are beautiful and her voice is outstanding. I know many people think this is sappy mush but honestly, can't you appreciate her immense talent. She really is superb and if you can go and see her in Las Vegas before the run ends, then I highly recommend that too. The show blew me away. It's undescribable. This cd is great and should be part of all your collections.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Vocals!.......2005-08-29

I always reccomend this album first to people who are thinking about purchasing Celine Dion albums. While it isn't her actual first CD, her self-titled disc put her on the map as one of the best female singers in the history of pop music. Before starting shout-matches with fellow divas Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, she delivered her voice nicely...almost Broadway-like. Her voice sounds the best here. The material is not too polished and not too corney. The highlights are obviously the hits: "Love Can Move Mountains", "If You Asked Me To" and "Beauty & The Beast" (featuring Peabo Bryson). Don't worry, though... there is no filler on this record. Celine collaborates with talented saxophonist Kenny G on "Halfway To Heaven" and Walter Alfansieff produced the soulful "Show Some Emotion" (Walter A. is usually known for producing material for Mariah Carey like "Hero" and "My All"). I am a sucker for good vocals...and "Celine Dion" definately showcases Celine's true talents. There is no vocal competition here... just good material and Celine's one of a kind voice. Highly reccomended.

Amazon.com essential recording

Dion has released a lot of music in the last four years, which in lesser talents could generate a "got the last one, don't need this" yawn from the public. Every conceivable base is covered here--"Tell Me" is the iconic pop adult smash, "Treat Her Like a Lady" has sewn up Contemporary Hits Radio, and there are a half-dozen others to keep the party going till 1999. The inclusion of the theme song to Titanic ("My Heart Will Go On") proves that nothing is likely to scuttle the unsinkable Ms. Dion. --Jeff Bateman

5 out of 5 stars "titanic".......2006-07-05

This one is worth the price just for the theme from "Titanic" .Who can resist that tearjerker? And who better than Celine to deliver it? Oh by the way, the rest of the album is great also

5 out of 5 stars It Draws You In.......2006-06-02

Celine Dion's LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE album has become my favorite music of all time. I originally bought the album for its famous theme song from Titanic "My Heart Will Go On," but the more I listened to the CD, the more I found myself always skipping over that song to get to the best song on the album, "To Love You More." This song grabs your attention with its instrumental opening that carries throughout the remainder of the song and exhibits Dion at more than her best. Celine Dion uses her talented voice to stun, mystify and move you throughout the entire album.

And let's not forget the duets with Barbara Streisand and Luciano Pavarotti. "Tell Him" left me speechless when I first heard it. The voices of Streisand and Dion in this timeless love song pull you into the theme, as almost everyone has wanted to tell someone that they love them, but is hesitant for whatever reason. With a famous voice like Pavarotti, Dion definitely added even more greatness to this wonderful, love filled album with their duet "I Hate You Then I Love You."

#3 on the album, "Treat her like a Lady" adds upbeat and kick to give the album a variety of rhythm and sound. The entire CD of LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE reminds people of how important love is and how wonderful love can be. It also shows off the unbeatable talent of Celine Dion who actually knows how to sing without shouting, which has become the fad of the day.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2006-05-30

I have gone through three copies of this CD. Yeah, it's that good. If you like Celine Dion, this is her at her best!!! If you are thinking about it you should definantly buy!

4 out of 5 stars not as good as Falling, but still great.......2006-04-05

a lot of people seem to snub their noses at Let's Talk About Love because it wasn't the career-defining album as the album that preceded it, but all in all, it's still a fantastic snapshot for Celine's career in 1997.

Celine shocked almost everyone by releasing a follow-up so shortly (Falling Into You was still in the top 40 on the charts at the time) but it was very worthy.

Among my faves on the album include "The Reason", "Immortality" with The Bee Gees (for a "Celine-less" version of the song, check out The Bee Gees' 2-disc hits collection from 2001), "Love Is On The Way", the very funky "Treat Her Like A Lady", "To Love You More" and the beautiful singalong title track. This album also housed "My Heart Will Go On" which certainly helped push this album to sales over 9 million. While it was a song that you wanted to smash the stereo at the time because it was being played every five minutes, I'd say enough time has passed that once again you can enjoy and appreciate this beautiful, powerful ballad.

With "Falling Into You" and this album, Celine was the #1 female artist for a period, becoming a superstar right as Mariah was abandoning AC for r&b, as Alanis was going on hiatus for awhile, and when Shania was taking off but hadn't yet exploded into major-superstardom. Love her or malign her (it seems fashionable to do the latter), she became one of the premier voices in Adult Contemporary and won over a large audience. I haven't been a fan at all of her last few albums, but if she ever comes back with an album like these two, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat.

4 out of 5 stars Her last really good album!.......2006-01-23

Celine Dion is of the best singers in Europe and around the world but after her "comeback" nothing reminds of her good true self. Her new albums are belted-out (almost "shouting"); the songs are totally uninspiring and she seems to have become another product of the American music industry. Therefore, no surprise that she has no huge success in countries she used to (and when I mean success I talk with the standards she had put with albums like "Falling into you", "D'eux" etc). This is her last good CD that you can find some nice ballads and interpretations as well as interesting collaborations with Streisand, Bee Gees , Pavarotti and others. Few of the songs are not a big deal but are saved by Dion's glorious interpretations. If you like her voice try this album and anything before that. After the year 2000 you will be really dissapointed..
