Too bad HD cant turn bad music videos into good ones...

The music video of 'Think Twice' in HD is so good! First time I really enjoyed it. Something was always missing but could not tell what it was.

Still  lame music video… Celine’s music videos by large aren’t really good. The expectations of IACBTMN and a few others but otherwise…

They really think they're giving us something amazing by upscaling SD videos and replacing them on Youtube ... Team Celine at its best.

Sad but true, Celine has never been a video artist. The only video that stands out is IACBTMN. She has some nice videos: MHWGO, FIY; PQTME, IDAN. ...

I agree she has not really been a video artist.

However, I really like the music videos of 'Immortality', 'That's The Way It Is', and 'I'm Alive' on top of the ones you mentioned.
'The Power Of Love', 'Misled', and 'Only One Road' are solid ones as well.

For the French stuff 'Tout L'or Des Hommes', 'Contre Nature', 'Je Ne Vous Oublie Pas', 'Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une' and 'Parler a mon pere' are really good!

I agree. The HD videos should have been a given upon release. For the anniversaries we should have enjoyed some unreleased material, audio or video.

I would also like to see some lyric videos of her songs uploaded on VEVO!

The video for PQTME always freaked me out with that voo-doo doll.

But IACBTMN, TC, GBTSW and Immortality, are some of my favorites… but I wish they did some more higher budget videos after IACBTMN.

Sorry, but IA is her worst English video. her face🙈
And I forgot the Unison videos with the 80s MTV touch (ITWAOW, WDMHBN,LTK, Unison). Like them.

I think ANDHC is worse then IA.   I hate to say this but she looks like a man with eyeliner in ANDHC music video. She was very pretty in 2002 like Wango Tango and Rockin USA for the troops but her styling for ANDHC was horrible.

Yes I agree! She does not look good in the video of IA. Especially in the silver dress scenes her make-up is so weird. I think they intentionally wanted to make her look like a canary, a reference to the character of Margalo in the film. But the scenes in the gold, long dress are always giving! Her hair and make-up are on point there too.

I think Celine’s best looks  BY FAR for a music videos are… “Goodbyes (The Saddest Word)” and “ Et s’il n’en restait qu’une (Je serais celle-là)” both on point!

I really liked her looks in 'I'm Your Angel' and 'That's The Way It Is' as well. She looks pretty in 'Parler a mon pere' too.

Also, “Live For The One I Love” she looks nice..terrible music video tho.

Too bad one of her most iconic songs BYLM, is one of her worst looks. And with the new HD and alternate version of MHWGO, we see how nice she looks there too.

Omg the scenes in the clouds?! She looks amazing!!!

It wasn’t her best look… NOT as good as TTWII or GBTSW, which proceeded and followed it. She looked good at the very end walking the beach with the big hair though, too bad they didn’t show more of that.

But why would they after the backlash Sony and TeamCeline received from many here and on social media when it came to the lyric clips for the "Falling Into You" anniversary? God knows I've never been overly supportive of the choices Sony and TeamCeline have made in the past, but with those lyric clips, they were FINALLY starting to "get it". Furthermore, they actually did clips for some darn obscure songs like "Your Light" and "Dreamin' Of You." The general public's attention span is finite. So, having them made so short in length was actually a smart move. I imagine had they not received the negative critiques back then, we would have seen more of them made. I imagine lyric clips for "The Power Of Love" and "Think Twice" would have been automatic. Others for "Just Walk Away" and "Love Doesn't Ask Why" would have probably been a couple others. That's my two cents.

I think she looks beautiful! The hair and makeup were soft and feminine. Fashion in general was not great in the early 2000s, but I always loved this look. I also love the big hair at the end, but that makeup was super harsh. I’m not sure if it was the same makeup artist or if she did it herself, but it was just not great in my opinion.

Are the lyric videos of DOY and YL on CelineDionVEVO? Never noticed them.

They were uploaded to Twitter and Facebook. Here is the one for “Your Light.”

The backlash was deserved. Sorry not sorry.

The only thing they did well was to release her albums in Dolby Atmos. They could have made it an event for each album slowly though but instead they rushed them all together. Marketing wise I’m not sure they know what they are doing.

And I do hope they read the forums and the comments because they need to do better.

'Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une' is really good. I like the idea, and her look! It suits the lyrics as well.

The voodo doll in PQTME also suits the lyrics. She sings something like "I'll learn old African magic and cast a spell on you if that makes you love me again"

Immortality is probably my favorite video of her. I truly like when music videos are like short movies with a story.

Actually I think PQTME is one of her best videos, the video works very well with the song, Celine is acting, is not a Diva’s video like GTSW

in my opinion PAMP is not a good video the body double looks weird after 10 years, I know that the girl walking in the desert is not Celine
In taking chances video the body double works better

Power of love video is very good, it’s 90s diva video even Alicia Keys on Girls on fire uses similar decor

Think twice - the model guy Is hot

Falling into you - a pleasant video

It’s all coming back to me now - meat loaf kind of video

Immorality- very beautiful video, but there is something that I dislike

I’m alive- the filter on her face is to fit the movie thing, I believe

A new day has come - very dated video

OH - if her look was with the long hair, it would be her best one

IDAN - beautiful, well done, but I was executive a car video, once she was sponsored by Chrysler

TC - modern, amazing look, is works so well, unfortunately it was the only music video from that era

Interesting that the 30th anniversary has technically passed and they're still working their way through re-uploading HD versions of the music videos. I haven't checked them yet, but I hope they are truly HD remasters and not that weird "4k upscaling" they tried with Contre Nature (?) and it just looked off.

Yes, I believe they are true HD remasters. They look the best out of the HD remasters they’ve done so far!

Yay! That's good. Especially her big hit songs like TPOL deserve the best HD remasters possible.

It is not "a true HD remaster". It is just the master SD file upscaled through some AI software. They look better because the original masters don't have much details, a lot of early 2000 videos also look good upscaled in a similar way because of how smooth they were (the VFX/airbrush on the artists' faces). When You Look At Me is one of the ones that will most likely look great when done because of that.

A true HD remaster would be to go back to 35mm film, scan it, clean it from dust and artifacts, redo VFX, then exporting it to either 4k or HD. It is simply not what they are doing here.

But these last ones look decent I guess.

I suppose they will upgrade as you say in another 15 years! 😄
