5 out of 5 stars Very surprised at how good it was...   May 12, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Wow.
I wasnt expecting to like it so much!! At first i thought taking chances was rubbish!! But no.. its very very good actually!!
Celine's version of "alone" is amazing!
I also dont understand why she released a video for taking chances, and i never saw it on british TV once!!! Why??
I have the single for "Eyes on me" i really love that one!!
Some others to look out for:
New Dawn- Her voice is stunning in this one!
Skies of L.A = Very pretty!
Fade Away= Great song. Its quite fast too!
shadow of love= Equally as great and up tempo!!
9.5 out of 10 overall. "thats just the woman in me" kinda spoils it... otherwise its great!! x



1 out of 5 stars what!!!!!!!!!   April 29, 2008

After hearing the title track and first single, i rushed out to by this cd, thinking at last Celine Dion is back after a lifetime away it seemed. I loved the title track but was extremley disappointed with the album. To me, Taking Chances is the only track worth a listen on this cd, and the cover of Heart's "Alone",,,.....what!!!!! she has absolutley slaughtered it. Where has the voice gone...The album barely scraped the charts and the 2nd single Eyes On Me, didnt make Top 50. So sad, i am kinda hoping that Celine will ditch her Las Vegas slot, rest her voice for a while and smack back with another good cd.


5 out of 5 stars Largely Surpassed My Initial Thoughts.   March 23, 2008

I got this album as a christmas present, when i first listened to it, i thought oh no i wasted my money, i want my money back, but since i've had it and given it a lot more listen's i found myself hooked, it took a few months but i got there in the end, no doubt it will become a classic in my collection over the coming years.

The songs i liked were 'Alone', i heard the original verson of this song and i thought it was a really bad effort compared to Celine's version as she gives it more power, and i feel something when i listen to this track. I also liked 'Eyes On Me', this track does stand out, but in a good way it's a song with a real eastern flavour. 'My Love', never thought i'd like this song because it reminds me of a slightly indie song, 'Can't Fight The Feelin', what a fun song, i wish all rock music was this fun, and clean at the same time, i really liked 'Taking Chances', fabulous title track, 'I Got Nothin' Left', some brilliant balladry with 'World To Believe In', 'Surprise, Surprise' is a great track with an excellent bridge, also 'Fade Away', 'Shadow Of Love', 'New Dawn', 'This Time', the agressive 'That's The Woman In Me', the Dreamy 'Skies Of L.A' & 'Right Next To The Right One' are also very credible tracks.

Overall i think it's a great album, you might not be too keen at first, but it will grow on you in time. I would defiantly recommend this album to anyone who is considering purchasing it.

BRILLIANT.... If you like Celine your like this Album, A few people were a bit dissapointed with the Album as it's so diffrent to her old stuff which is what makes it so Unique. I'm sure Celine is gonna find herself with even more new Fans to her list...





5 out of 5 stars A Great Album!!   February 9, 2008

This is a terrific album! Celine really shows off her voice and more importantly even, her emotional range. I was stuck many years ago by the song "Think Twice" and the emotion Celine put into it. This album has fewer real diva songs such as "My Heart Will go on" or "Because You Loved Me" but I think benefits from that. The songs are very personal and intimate. My own favourites are "My Love" (Wow! What a sensational track), "Alone" (better than the original), "New Dawn" and others - there's not a bad one on there. Celine always puts her heart into her songs and it shows. To be honest, she is a pure musical talent, probably the best female singer in the whole world, and though she is derided at times for not being "trendy" her singing genius is undisputed. Buy it and enjoy! It's wonderful.
