I just realized it LOL! I'm not all that about the powerful notes but you know very well, gogo, that D'eux wasn't all that powerful but still a great album vocally. Now that she seems to have kept some vocal discipline we may expect something really great vocally a la D'eux.          

She is recording the album anytime soon.

[thevoice]

D'EUX is a great album but her vocals there r very powerful and strong . it's very clear from this recording that she got ready for this duet and she probably was very discipline in the few days before - didnt eat diray products , maybe even didnt talk for few hours .
celine just proved to everyone that if she really wants to she can still sing each one of her very demanding songs - she cant do it 5 nights a week but she can hit each and every note she wants to in general .

edit : can we somehow take tony's voice out of the song and hear only celine? iknow it's possible somehow ...is there a software maybe? it's just that she is singing the last note on a very high key and tony's voice is much lower so u hear him oversing her a little . is there a way to hear only celine?

Celine's voice is soooooo clear and soothing just like it's supposed to be on this kind of a track! It's a champagne and candles kind of a song    I like it!
The way Celine's voice is, it's perfect for an English jazz album after the French one...

I don't think anyone expects that kind of perfection on stage, but when she records an album in studio, she should really try to give her best, just like she used to do some years ago.
Actually I'd love two things : one would be that she recorded a solo version of If I Ruled The World on her next album and the other that she sang it live.

[MichiG.]

the song grows on me! I really like the arrangemanet, celine sounds great and the two blend very well together! I can't hear any nasla tunes but that's just my opinion....hope to hear some great work of our beloved diva in the near future!

[Ania4]

The song is nice. Thanks for sharing.
I just hope we will ever hear Celine singing this song live ...

after listening to the song more and more again,
I feel a little angry
She has the best voice now,
but doesn't release new album this year.
I can't wait to listen to her new songs.

But she will record one this year. Her best yet I bet.

[Clari]

Oh my God... I can't stop listening to this!! Celine's voice sounds so sweet and   Tony sounds great too!

[alextrusca]

OMG...I totally adore this song...Celine's voice is an orgasm...and the final note...speechless...Jazz really suits her...And Tony's voice sound so young...

[celines_girl]

I created a celine only version it sounds pretty good. I will try to upload it soon if anyone is interested

[Koolan]

one more appearance:

October 13 - MARTHA STEWART SHOW - Tony Bennett special solo performance and interview

There's also going to be a special edition with a DVD at Target stores in the US

[celines_girl]

Celine solo version- If I Ruled the World
I did a quick cut and toke out Tony's voice. If actually sounds pretty good, but I was unable to do anything with the note at the end. Hope you all like it.

I told myself I wouldn't download this track, I would wait till I got the cd in my hand when it had been released, the cd looked so good on paper. But the release dates given on cdon.com and ginza.se are november 1 - what's up with that?!?!  

So I thought twice and said just because of the late release date I was gonna take a look after all when it appeared here.  

After listening to some of the other songs on this album, I am shocked. I can't believe these are live duets, some sound as un-synced as they possible could...

Gonna listen to If I Ruled The World now...

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!

[fred]

I certainly did not expect it to go as high as it did.
And long high notes, thevoice must be pleased.

Ok, here comes the complaining: I feel stressed when listening to this song, they're delivering the lines as if they were short of time - and they are, a track under 3 minutes! Wow congrats, this time they've manged to make a Céline track even shorter. I don't get this, why must each and every of her recent track be extremely short?? There are no instrumental solo in this song, so there is no place to rest and take in the song... I miss an instrumental solo as much here as I did in Dance With My Father. It is a great loss to the overall feeling of the song not to include an instrumental solo.

Céline sounds as she did on These Are Special Times, which is very good. I did not expect her voice to sound like this again... And Tony sounds "less old" on this track compared to the other tracks on this album, which is good. Perhaps he pulled himself together a bit extra when singing together with this wonderful voice (Céline).

It all sounds perfect and all, and I am really glad that Céline keeps on doing standards. She sings them so well. But this time it is "just" singing. I am sorry, she sounds extremely fine but... I don't feel anything...

[Céline's Blues]

I would say she no way sounds like on TAST but rather like on that Beatles song "Here There And Everywhere" which can be both: good and bad. I am concentrating on the goods cuzz I know she wull deliver an amazing French album vocally. EVERYONE knows now how she will sound on the CD. So this is clear. The other part - the poetry - I'm sure won't disappoint either.

[CSCfan]

The song is so short, because the original is so short too..

ARTIST: TONY BENNETT
ALBUM: DUETS: AN AMERICAN CLASSIC (RPM/Columbia Records)

NEW YORK (Billboard) - One of America's great voices surrounds himself with other singing superstars, mostly to good effect, on this 80th birthday celebration. It helps that Bennett recorded these duets in person, and that he's worked with some of these folks, such as k.d. lang and Elvis Costello, before. A few of Bennett's partners here, notably Celine Dion and Stevie Wonder, get a bit overemotive (though Wonder's harmonica is a treat on "For Once in My Life"), but Tim McGraw ("Cold, Cold Heart"), James Taylor ("Put On a Happy Face") and George Michael ("How Do You Keep the Music Playing?") are surprising standouts amidst a heady corps that also includes Paul McCartney, Elton John, Bono, Sting, the Dixie Chicks and Barbra Streisand. Nevertheless, the album's best moment is "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," a Bennett solo performance accompanied only by piano.

Billboard doesn't love Céline so much, lately.  

[Céline's Blues]

They are just stating the obvious. Céline's and her 90's singing voice = overemotive big big time.

No reason to be angry. She's recording songs! So we'll be able to hear how fantastic she is when the album she's working on currently is released next year!  

[nature boy]

Great song.  Love the note at the end and the voices go really well together.
