Taking Chances by Celine Dion
Taking Chances With Celine!
Taking Chances is not without its daring moments--well get to those--but
the first order of business in any review of this much-hyped record, on
which Celine Dion is said to have slunk away from her songbird instincts in
favor of embracing her inner rock & roll wild child, should be fan
reassurance. Therefore: fear not. Taking Chances has its share of
poignant, pretty ballads (both A Song for You and Right Next to the Right
One are goosebump-raisers) and love songs (the hopeful, heartfelt title
track, which unfolds into an anthemic power ballad midway through, may
be the best one). As far as standard Celine fare goes, in fact, Chances is
likely her strongest non-French outing since 2002s A New Day Has Come;
nobody unfolds a lyric with more care or nuance. And, as the subtle My
Love deftly proves, any early-career instincts to over-sing have gone poof
along with her 90s-era, sweet-natured-kook persona. Because its a
generous 16 songs long, it may even be possible to ignore the non-Celine-
like moments on Taking Chances and just enjoy the more fan-faithful
tracks. But that wouldnt be any fun, would it? There are songs here--Cant
Fight the Feelin, Fade Away, Thats Just the Woman In Me--that will
astound diehards and make fans of those whove dissed her for more than
a decade. If you didnt think the diva behind Disneys Beauty and the Beast
had it in her to screech from the bottom of her soul, a la Janis Joplin, flip to
track 15 and guess again. --Tammy La Gorce Celine Dion Photos

I purchased this album back in Christmas.It took some time for me to like
this album. I dont understand why everybody does not like this album. This
is her rock album. She already set in a bold new creative direction with this
album. This is her most personal and revelatory collection of songs and
performances in her fabled career. This album also showcase her deep
and powerful connection to the emotional core of the songs and her art. I
was suprised that she worked with The-Dream, Ne-Yo, Tricky Stewart, and
Linda Perry. This album was certified Platinum.
