Céline Dion

A must for all you Celine fans.A Christmas Gift for my wife & she hasn't stop playing it.I ordered it & recieved it in 4 Days. Gret job by Amazon!

This CD has a lot of OLD recordings, which I already have. There is not enough detail on the Amazon listing. The quality of the recording is not a "10"....should be a "6". I'm disappointed.

This album compilation is simply wonderful. one can enjoy hours of easy listening music and her very best ballads and up tempo songs. Her beautiful voice brushes wonderfully through each and every song. Even if one is not a Celine fan, this 2CD is definitely one to keep in his collection.

In the last ten years I have heard many songs of Celine Dion in films, on soundtracks, my favorite radio station etc., yet I never came around to buy a CD from her.

I bought this double CD to listen to her best songs and I just cant stop listening to it. This is a double CD where you can enjoy EVERY single song thats on it !!

First is obviously her clear and beautiful voice, but its also that her (love) songs come across believable. It doesnt sound like somebody that is just reading the text. Its in how she pronounces the words that make it so enjoyable to listen to.

I can not rave enough for this CD.
It's an absolute terrific CD and highly recommended !!

I own every Celine CD and I adore just about every song on them. There are wonderful songs that were never released as singles but I can play them over and over again because I have all the CDs. My Love- is a great way to own just about every single Celine has ever come out with, without needing to by all her other CDs. Just about every song on it is familiar and there are even a couple of pleasant surprises.

All the major songs are on here and some of her lesser ones (that I adore as well) like, 'I drove all night', 'My Love', River Deep, Mountain High, and The Prayer duet. Just all wonderful to listen to. The only tiny gripe I have is with the song, 'Love Can Move Mountains'. For some reason i detest that song, but she chooses to sing it at her concerts and to include it on here. I NEVER listen to that one. But really, that's about it. Every other song is so worth it and I'm glad she finally chose to come out with a true greatest hits CD.

Yes, there are a few songs I wish were on here, but you can't make everyone happy. But this comes pretty close!

The CD was just as the seller said it was, received the CD very fast. excellent service by seller. Thank You

This cd is the best christmas cd ever. Her original song will become a classic christmas song. She puts tons of emotion into this cd which drowns the audience with emotion as well. Another Year Has Gone By and The Special Times are real heart wrenching!
Get it, if you're not sure, you wont be dissapointed!

Mariah Carey she is not! Her version of O Holy Night is just mediocre compared to Mariah's version. Get the ultimate christmas album: mariah's Merry Christmas

This is one of my all time favorite Christmas CDs despite many of the criticisms of song selection (I agree, some just don't belong). I'm not a huge fan of Celine's music but I really enjoy her performance on this CD. The problem is that the recording quality is, at times, extremely poor. You can actually hear wow and flutter (or their equivalent) on a CD, and incredible distortion at other times. Thinking this was a defective CD, I bought two more, and the exact same problems occur at the same moments played on 4 different high end (home) audio systems. It's a shame a performance of this caliber had to be tarnished by such terrible attention to audio fidelity. These are the producer's and recording engineer's failures. Celine's performance is very good in my opinion, and despite the audio failures, is a seasonal favorite of mine.

Yes, it's Celine Dion.

I know that people have their negative opinions of Celine, and I have some to as I am only a moderate fan. However, I must say that this album is thoroughly enjoyable. Christmas albums are often dismissed as just a safe piece of product to earn some cash. While this album is pretty safe (like most of Celine's releases), it's supposed to be for enjoyment around the holidays and Christmas albums are supposed to be light. Her voice and her style of music work well for the seasonal genre. Standout tracks include:

"Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" - an original Christmas ballad about showing love all year round, and not just on Christmas.
"Brahm's Lullaby" - a very soothing rendition of this classic lullaby. She sounds very good went her voice is restrained.
"Blue Christmas" - a fantastic jazzy remake of the song made popular by the King, Elvis Presley. I love his version, and Celine does this song justice.
"The Prayer" - This is a duet with Andrea Bocelli. They both have really strong voices yet different musical styles so they compliment each other.
"I'm Your Angel" - This #1 hit isn't a Christmas song, but it fits well with this CD. R. Kelly sounds great, and this unlikely duet is very nice. I'm not surpirsed it was a huge success.

So, I can honestly say that this CD is good. Regardless if you are a big fan or not, I think you will actually enjoy this album. Give it a chance.

This album is so cozy and it's so family oriented. She actually has her family members sing with her. The Prayer became one of my favorite songs of all time as a result of Celine's duet with Andrea Bocelli. This album can be enjoyed year round.

This is the most excellent album specially for holiday.

I love Celine so much!

This is a must-have collection specialy for Celine's fans.Great Christmas music and the holiday performance live in this DVD.I like the part where Celine visited Charlemagne and recalled her humble beginnings.The only thing is suggest/wished that the DVD covers from the entire concert and there was no cuts,although the highlights were there.If we watch any of Celine's performance,it should be to the max.Otherwise,DO NOT miss this collection.

One of the best Xmas CD there are. Beautiful. Awesome. Great. I bought it a number of years ago but I wanted to see the DVD that goes with it. Great. Really good.

I like the CD. Celine is nice and mellow for Christmas. I didn't know there was also a DVD included. I was surprised to see that there are different songs on the DVD. They are not the same ones as on the Christmas CD.

While Celine again delivers a wonderful performance, I think everyone needs to listen to the original version of 'Taking Chances' as performed by Platinum Weird. Find it on ITunes. It is amazing.

Celine Dion's first proper English language studio effort in over four years feels alot like her previous "comeback" effort after an extended hiatus, 2002's A NEW DAY HAS COME. Whereas that set announced her return after taking time out to start a family, TAKING CHANCES returns her to the buying public at the near-end of a five year stay at Caesar's in Las Vegas. The time away has allowed the singer(or maybe more knowingly her handlers) to take stock at the shift in musical tastes as well as current radio demographics since her last record, and much like ANDHC and even LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE, she tries to cover as much musical ground as possible with varying results. In doing so, however, that nasty filler problem that's crept up in many of her records has again surfaced, with the album being 3 or 4 tracks too long(cutting out tracks 6-10, all dispensible, would be a good start). The title track is a decent riff on the Kelly Clarkson/Pink pop/rock hybrid, and both "Shadow of Love" and "Fade Away" have a nice yet subtle electronic vibe to them. And those looking for "Power of Love" 2.0 will be disappointed to find nothing here that reaches those melodramatic heights(and she had the chance here too with a cover of Heart's "Alone" that comes off as fairly pedestrian); in fact, the singer goes the opposite route and delivers some of her most beautifully measured vocal work to date(particularly on the gorgeous "I've Got Nothin' Left" and "My Love"). Overall, not Dion's best effort, but by no means her worst.

Taking Chances is a very disappointing CD. Celine Dion choose to go in a new direction with her music. The songs and style are geared for a new audience of younger listeners. Such a waste of an awesome talent. I played the CD once and now it just sits. Save your money.

Saw the Taking Chances show this week...It was a great mix of "old" favorites and new songs with an global flavor...Awesome...amazing...drop everything and buy tickets NOW!

I have been an off and on fan of Celine Dions for over 16 years as of writing this review and was somewhat excited about the news of Celine's then-new album entitled "Taking Chances". Though I blinked and have not heard "Miracle" as of this writing, I have enjoyed parts of if not most of her previous albums but I find it very hard to say but "Taking Chances" ultimately has wound up being among the most dissapointing releases that I've heard in quite a long time. Even the album cover looks tacky to me.

I am all in favor of artists taking chances with new sounds or shifting away from what defined earlier releases. Though some will disagree, I felt it worked well on "One Heart" with some more dance/pop elements with Reveal, and Coulda Shoulda Woulda. Yet instead, our beloved Quebecois chanteuse declines considerably into bland top 40-sounding pop/rock that lacks any unique qualities and the entire album sounds dry, bland and completely bloodless. Most of this album sounds like something that was recorded in someone's garage in a couple weeks. There isn't a single track on this entire album that caught my ears in any way that kept me interested in listening to the rest. Though a couple songs towards the end were at lease somewhat standouts, it was simply too late for me to care and I returned it to the library within a matter of days.

Though I will certainly maintain my overall likeness of Celine's music, I'm looking forward to whenever her next release, in the hope that it is an improvement over this disaster of a release. Even a "One Heart II" would be an improvement over this! Not recommended at all.

The product is more than I anticipated, Anne Murray, one of my favorites (I am in her age group) singing with many of my favorite more contemporary women. The seller was quick to mail and perfectly acceptable in all respects. Thanks, Amazon, for linking us up with outside sellers.

Oh, Anne, I just fall in love again... with your voice!! Dusty Springfield, Carole King--how great to hear all the lady troubadours on this CD. It's a beautiful collection of duets. Put it in your vehicle if you commute to work and you'll be singing by the time you get there! Really nice...

I'm a fan! I grew up with Anne Murray and absolutely love her voice. This cd of duets is a fun, fresh way to introduce her old songs. I prefer Anne's voice alone but this new twist is worth listening to...I enjoyed it! The duet with KD Lang is my favorite...their voices are so complimentary.

I anticipated a good rendition by all artistes after listening to samples, but it surpassed my expectations.
Anne is a wonderful singer and her duet with fellow Canadian Celine Dion live,is extraordinary. Not to metion Sarah Brightman (another favourite singer of mine). What a performance by all. Could you imagine if Anne got together with another favourite of mine(Nana Mouskouri)? That would be a great joy to me.

As a kid I always listen to my mum who always played Anne Murray's song over and over again. The reason I purchased this album is to have a memory to my mum. Almost all the tracks in the CD had been heard before but this album is different as Anne included a lot of others artist which gives a different kind of feeling. Anne wrote a great deal of all the artist she duets with in this album, and it is worth enough for buyer who love Anne's music.

Prompt delivery, product in excellent condition and priced very low. I am quite happy.

Celine Dion has an amazing voice. Every song on this CD can touch the heart and soul. There are several cuts on the CD that I just love. They are love songs that you can relate to, as far as loving your man. Celine Dion is truly gifted with a beautiful voice and songs that can move mountains. I am a fan of her music. I bought several of her CD's and would highly recommend them to any person that like love songs.

Celine Dion is one of my favorite pop singers. This CD is a good collection of her greatest hits from the 80s and 90s plus a couple of new songs.

Celine Dion's powerful vocals are showcased on this greatest hits collection
that satisfies whether your exersising, doing housework or just relaxing. Would have liked to have "You and I" included - that is the song used on Hillary Clinton's Presidential Primary campaign - Hillary Clinton went on to receive more votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in history.

This was a great gift for my Mother-in-law, who had this album, but left it in her car during a 100+degree day, so she needed a new copy of her favorite singers album.

Great to listen to when trying to relax. I listen to it at work and after work too. It eases the tension. He is an amazing artist, singer. My wife enjoys this as well.

If you like your music nice and low and in Italian, you'll love Andrea Bocelli. I do, that's why I have almost everything he's done. This truly is music for people over 40 who want and like romance in their life. (what can I say except I'm getting old)

This is the most beautiful music you will ever listen to.Andrea has a way of bringing out your innermost soul.The music can make you cry just to listen to it,even if you don't understand the words(which are translated in the booklet).Highlights are Sogno and Immenso for beauty,The Prayer and Nel Cuore Lei for stellar duets,and Canto Della Terra for the rapturous glory of Andrea's voice.If you buy nothing else from Andrea,buy this.

The tone of so many of this album's songs is almost reverent. Truly, this group of songs is one of Mr. Bocelli's best works. I recommend it for your own collection, as well as for gift-giving.

Bocelli is awesome! The Prayer is absolutely gorgeous! He is one of my favorite singers!

This is an exciting and enjoyable CD overall. Included are all of your old favorites from the movie, including the wonderful score. And there are some new additions to this collection that make it even more wonderful! "Human Again" is one of the new additions to this collection that I absolutely adore, and "Death of the Beast" is such a touching piece -- I'm so glad they opted to add these two songs to this special edition.

It's a fun collection overall. I listen to it over and over and it never ceases to brighten my day!

this is such a cute CD i love it so much and for a beauty and the beast fan, like myslef, its so good! i love!!! all the songs are beautiful.

This is one of my favorite disney movies. I know every song by heart.
I was very excited to get this cd for the bonus tracks, only to find that the last 3 were faulty. The cd wasn't scratched- it went straight out of the case into the player.
I rmaed it, they promptly sent me a new one, that one was also faulty- only the last 3 tracks again.
So sadly I do not have this cd.

Its an amazing soundtrack, now I just gotta find a copy were I can actually listen to all the songs

My wife really loved the gift. She had been asking for it for a long time. She loved it!

If you enjoyed the work tapes and demos features on this special edition version, I encourage you to check out the amazing (and rare) boxed set "The Music Behind the Magic", which devotes a whole disc to Beauty and the Beast (the majority of which is demo tapes, work tapes and even some near-final material that was cut from the final movie) A must-have for Menken and Ashman fans, or Disney fans that want to hear more of their work from this film and their other classic scores (Little Mermaid & Aladdin)

The Music Behind the Magic Boxed Set with Book

Amazing music from an incredibly talented duo.

This is a great collection of Celine's greatest hits. Most of the ones included here were Top 10 hits, with the exception of a few new ones and her last releases ("Taking Chances" & "A New Day Has Come") which didn't make the top 10. Still, it is apparent when listening to her amazing vocals on "A New Day Has Come" that her singing ability has not diminished any. Beautiful love songs ("Power of Love", "My Heart Will Go On") and lovely duets ("Beauty and the Beast", "I'm Your Angel") are included. The sweeping "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" always sends chills down the spine. And one of my all-time favorites is her very first hit "Where Does My Heart Beat Now". A 2 disc edition (My Love-Ultimate Essential Collection)is also available which includes double the music.

If I had realized this was just a lot of her old songs I would not have purchased it. I like her but don't need another CD with the same songs.

It's definitely a great collection CD, a little disappointed that it really only has one new song, but overall, any songs by Celine Dion are absolutely beautiful.

It has been 20 years, since Celine Dion broke out as a International singing sensation. Nevertheless, she still has shown a lot of strength and soul on just about anything she could really sing. But, when it unfortunately comes down to it, there hasn't really been a greatest hits record that has been definitive to appeal to die hard fans, and anyone who hasn't yet heard any of her classics throughout the 90's and beyond. While her last greatest hits record, 1999's All The Way: A Decade Of Song, hasn't delivered well with all of her classics, it still sold surprisingly well. Now to celebrate her 20th Anniversary, a new chance for Celine to shine brilliantly has come, but does this deliver, or suffer greatly.

The 2008 My Love: Essential Collection, is a single disc reflection of Celine Dion's big songs from the 90's and the 2000 era that show just how dominant her voice really remains. The collection includes a lot of her biggest hits, but sadly just like before overlooks a lot of greatest moments. Nevertheless, there are a lot of her great songs here including her standards Because You Loved Me, her Titanic smash My Heart Will Go On, The Power Of Love, and That's The Way It Is. The collection does bring in a few of her later songs as well including the soulful A New Day Has Come, and Where Does My Heart Beat Now? which was sadly overlooked from All The Way: A Decade Of Song, and her new song, My Love, which brings in Celine's signature style as a elequent vocalist. But, the collection does overlook, a lot of her biggest songs from her era, especially from her duets with the legendary Barbara Streisand on Tell Him and When I Fall In Love with Clive Griffin from the Tom Hanks classic Sleepless In Seattle, and her pop standards like Love Can Move Mountains and Misled.

All in all, while the single disc My Love: Essential Collection doesn't really seem to click for die hard Celine Dion fans (they can definitely be much more satisfied with the double album, extended version,) it does hold up nicely well, as a simple re-introduction to her beautiful melodic voice, to a whole new generation of fans that seem to be more interested in wannabe divas like Britney Spears and Beyonce'. I still love listening to Celine's voice, and this collection shows well, but I was hoping more from the single disc edition.

If you aren't sure which Celine Dion album to buy, I would highly recommend this one. It shows her fun, upbeat side and her serious slow dramatic vocals. Have You Ever Been In Love- gives me goose bumps!! This is a great album for starting over - A New Day! This is the only Celine album I own and I listen to it all the time.

Some pretty songs are on this CD. I can't listen to it in its entirety at one time as Celine Dion's voice isn't one that I can listen to for long periods of time, but in short bursts is great. Recommend this for anyone liking more romantic music.

Everyone knows what a phenomenal voice Celine has. And everyone knows what a knack she has for catchy tunes and how she belts out those high notes. All this goes without saying, so I'm going to tell you why else you need this album.
1. This disc contains one of Celine's greatest hits, A New Day Has Come, in two great arrangements. This song tells us about a heart who had almost lost hope and who found its strength again. This is one we all can relate to.
2. A diverse mix of dance-able pop songs including "Right In Front of You" and "Sorry for Love" and powerful slow songs such as "I Surrender" and "Prayer" and as a bonus, fantastic renditions of the classics "At Last" and "Nature Boy", and you've got something for everyone. You won't be disappointed.
3. There are a generous sixteen tracks on the disc, which means you won't get tired of this album very quickly.
4. If you buy it used, like I did, then you're only paying approx. $5 including shipping. So what are you waiting for? Trust me - if you are anything like a fan of Celine's you need this album.

I'll give you my favorite tracks just in case:
1.A New Day Has Come- of course
2.Right In Front of You- wonderfully light and airy
3.I Surrender- Celine's best performance of the album
4.Prayer- fantastic songwriting
5.Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)- a heartbreaking song about her mother

This Is Another Great Buy.....If You Love Celine
Then Buy this CD..... The sound on all are perfect!! ! !

I think I love every song in this CD, which is unusual for me. One of her finest!
