In 1999, before her retirement, Celine released her greatest hits album, "All The Way...A Decade of Song." This year, Sony Music started a brand new series of collector's albums of hits from worldwide, starting with this "The Collector's Series-Volume 1." Now, this album is comprised of lesser known hits from all over the decade long career Celine has enjoyed. I personally like this album better than All The Way, and although I have all of the songs and all of her CDs, I am more than willing to shell out money for anything by or about Celine.
The Power of The Dream-What a beautiful song! The lyrics are so inspirational and Celine's voice is accentuated in this song. Finally, 4 of Celine's lesser known songs are being recognized on this album: "The Prayer" with Andrea Bocelli, her first English hit "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," "Pour Que Tu M'Aimes Encore" a moving French song from the album D'Eux which sold over 6 million copies worldwide, and "Amar Haciendo El Amor" a Spanish language song which was available on international editions of Let's Talk About Love. If you're just being introduced to the music of Celine, I strongly recommend that you get 1999's "All The Way...A Decade of Song" (her greatest hits collection) and this album, which has a broad selection of all of her worldwide hits, including songs in 4 different languages: Spanish, French, English and Japanese.
Enjoy!
I was really disappointed when I read the songlist on the back of the Cd because it did not include my favorite Celine Dion songs. The only song that I really liked was "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", which was shamefully left out of "All The Way".
This CD is for the hardcore Celine Dion fan. If you want to hear her hit songs, then get "Celine Dion: All The Way".
I wrote another review on this CD but id like to write one more review about this CD! My favourite songs on this album are, The Power Of The Dream Where Does My Heart Beat Now Us With This Tear Pour Que Tu M'Aimes Encore All By Myself (spanish version) Thats The Way It Is The Prayer those above are my favourite songs, the rest of the songs are good but i like the ones above the most! This was my first Celine Dion album and then my grandma bought me her english album called All The Way... A Decade Of Song and its great too. Im going to get 4 more of her albums soon and they will be, Falling into you The colour of my love the french album s'il suffisait d'aimer I just love Celine's beautiful singing she has the best voice. I will write some more reviews when i get those other 4 celine CD's! So if yall dont already has this CD then GO OUT THERE AND GET IT! Its a must have.
Celine is my #2 favorite artist behind Madonna, and at one time, she was #1. I bought this album and was kinda disappointed, seeings as how I already had several of the songs on previous releases. However, I did not have the rarities included on the album, The Power of the Dream, prevoiusly only available on the regular single version of It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Sola Otra Vez, the Spanish version of All By Myself, which was only previously available in a Mexican and Spanish version of the Because You Loved Me single, Amar Haciendo El Amor, previously only available in international versions of Let's Talk About Love, as was Be The Man. Other standouts include Por Que Tu M'Aimes Encore, which appeard on her Falling Into You album as If That's What It Takes, The Prayer with Andrea Boccelli, Tell Him with Barbra Streisand, With This Tear, written by Prince, and her first English-language hit, Where Does My Heart Beat Now, which hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991. However, I would make one change: TAKE OUT that song The Reason and replace it with Celine's lesser known 1993 single, Nothing Broken But My Heart, which is one of my favorites by her. The presence of that song, along with Seduces Me, which is not one of my favorites by her, is why I took 2 stars off what would have been a perfect 5.
Celine has had an amazing career. Whether you choose the ten years she has been known from 1990-2000, or her early French years. Either way she has always given it her all. No matter what. She always gave us her 100% if not more.
Celine has always been a role model and inspiration for me. Not only for her voice or her beautiful looks, but for her strive for excellence and always working hard. That's why she has achieved so much.
This is a great cd for a fan of hers for a long time, or a new one. This cd shows off her beautiful voice in many ways. What I like about this cd, is that there are all different songs on it-from her earlier years and most recent. (similar to her "greatest hits"). Also there are some never before released songs in the U.S.A on this cd.
Even though Celine may be on a 2-3 year hiatus, she is still one of the best singers in the world. And can NEVER be replaced. She will always be one of musics best. And whether she decides to come back and sing again, is unknown. But at least she has accomplished what she had hoped for. And if so it was meant to be. It's for sure we will see her around.
Once you fall in love with this cd... Don't forget to check out Unison (1990), Celine Dion (1992), The Colour of My Love (1994), Falling Into You (1996), Let's Talk About Love (1997), These Are the Special Times (1998), All the Way...A Decade of Song(1999), and The Collecter's Series Vol. 1.
