Summary: Among the greatest letdowns I've ever listened to.
Comment: 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.

Summary: Celine Dion
Comment: Celine Dion has probably one of the best voices of our time. This album is a mixture of music types all of which are modern (even pop).I can not say enough about the quality of her work.

Summary: Love this CD
Comment: Celine's new album is great!!!!

I know people complained that Celine is trying to be someone she isnt on this album but i think that there are many sides to Celine. I am glad that Celine tried something different. Her voice pulls all the songs off wonderfully. I bet you if Celine hadnt done anything different people would have complained about that. Celine can never win

Songs I love are: Taking chances, Eyes on me,Shadow of love,fade away,woman in me and I've got nothing left. My love and world to believe in are also great.

Summary: Celine Dion's Versatile Vocal's
Comment: Grammy winner Celine Dion has great vocal ability and loves to sing a variety of songs, in a variety of styles- makes this an A+ for me. Celine Dion's popularity was shown when "You and I" was chosen as Hillary Clinton's campaign theme song (Hillary Clinton's popularity was proven when she went on to receive more votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in history)
