Celine has shown a huge seleccion of videos, some made "history! among her fans and the non-die hard fans.
When I think of her videographt nowaday..it looks like they are not even trying, I know videos are not hot as they were in the the 90's but still love to see Celine in video clips...
So here's a list of my (personal) best and worst...

BEST

Fais ce que tu voudrais
(For being her very first I would say it is a prettu cool, deep well filmed video, plus I love the song)

If walls could talk
( A gem that never had the place it deserved, amazing song, amazing videos that fits the mood of the song so well) plus she was so sexy and I love the game the camaras do, never changing images bit only changing angles)

IACMTMN
(Enough said...a mini movie itself, one of the most expensive videos EVER filmed, not only by Celine)

Des mots qui sonnent and LCMM
(Simple, yet very catchy seeing her dance around)

Only one road
(No idea what the music is about haha makes no sense...but that's why Ilove it)

WORST

Next plane out / Je sais pas / Call the man
(I hate the ruined these song with almostthe same footage and the video, each of these deserved a cool video)

Je t'aime encore and On ne change pas
(AMAZING songs, such a crappy video for both)

Have you even been in love /  I drove all night / One heart
(The "let's put a green screen behind Celine, only show her 1 minute and the show couples cuddling the rest of the video" era...)

Well I'm sure some other videos will come up, what do you think?

[Pangloss76]

First one to post here? Well, I think it's an interesting thread! To me, Falling into you is one of the best videos. The story line, the set, Celine's look... Everything makes it so special. Plus the intro with the french boy which gives the video a more intimistic/realistic atmosphere (she's a show assistant in some travelling circus lol). Then you look at me is a real masterpiece in terms of production, make up and outfit. She looks out of this world there! Je danse dans ma tête marked her first try as a "video artist" with, for the first time, a real concept that illustrates the feeling of the song perfectly. Pour que tu m'aimes encore is one of her few videos that comes as strong as the song itself! I've always been amazed by her acting in this one! The close ups show how little make up she wears and she definitely looks border-line crazy lolz. Immortality (non studio version) is a very deep and esthetical video, if not her most. The costumes and differents sets are gold and her black baroque dress's made history among the fans. Nothing broken but my heart has always got me! I don't know if it's the intro, Celine's hair (I love how her curls look here), or the dominating warm beige tones... But there is something romantic and timeless with this video. Plus, the single version's far better! Tout l'or des hommes, is, once again a very solid effort. The song marked her big french return in 5 years and the video perfectly captured the direction Celine wanted to take with this song/album. The song is certainly not her best french classics (not a tear jerker a la Pour que tu m'aimes encore or S'il suffisait d'aimer) but the MV made it something to remember! This being said, she too often messed up  when it came to shooting a good music video. Let's remember all the boring live versions "Alone", "Eyes on me", "The first time ever I saw your face", "All the way"... And the studio shooting era "Tell him", "Immortality", "The reason"... So many good songs and no real MV... Frustrating!

In order to appreciate a music video I want it to have a concept and Celine to look beautiful in it ( yes, I'm a bit superficial ). That said the gems of her career are 'L'amour existe encore' (heartbreaking), 'Je danse dans ma tete' (cool and on point), 'Misled' (the only time in her entire career she promoted a cool dance hit looking awesome), 'Pour que tu m'aimes encore' (she looked nuts and I loved it), 'Je sais pas' (too bad this haunting video was recycled), 'It's all coming back to me now' (well dah), 'My heart will go on' (she looked like an elegant goddess of the ocean ), 'That's the way it is' (her most youthful video), 'Goodbye (The saddest word), 'Tout l'or des hommes', 'Contre nature' and I personally love the videos for 'D'elles' and 'Sans Attendre'. For some reason I love the atmosphere in 'Live (For The One I Love)'. However, the ultimate music video she ever released is the one for 'Immortality'. Amazing storyline, touching scenes, really elegant and rich. She looked so fragile and dramatic, the song itself is her best Anglophone recording for me but the video added to that impression. Her worst music video is the one for 'Je T'aime Encore'. Period.

boring video

[Neddo]

I think that QPVSA video haves best moves and looks by Celine ever. She looks strong and serious, unlike fragile in TPOL or ANDHC for ex. Even though I wished that there was some more Celine in action (she driving a sports car) and I thought that she needed more outfits. But I still love it and it's my fave video from her. It's a shame that we get boring audio videos comparing to QPVSA or PAMP

[SantiagoColorado]

Being honest i have to say I don't like some of the "new" videos, from ANDHC to QPVSA (LMBTL doesn't count as a music video, not even CQMTA), because it is always the same deal: Celine singing with a random background and then random pictures of random people appears; examples: Le Miracle, Parler a Mon Pere, Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour, A New Day Has Come, You and I, Et Je'taime Encore (what's wrong with them!), Have You Ever Been In Love...

Enough to say Alone, Eyes on Me, My Love deserved a better music video, and not only the live versions...

The music video I enjoyed the most was Taking Chances... at that time I was 15 and with A New Day... I lost any clue of Celine, but then she came back with this amazing album and this video, it was a great come back! (a short one, but great).

Contre Nature, Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une, Tou l'or des hommes, Immensité, Goodbye's, One Heart, I think are good videos.

And from the old videos, I think My Heart Will Go On is a pearl, not beacuse of the Movie... Celine looks gorgeous in that video!. The other videos are OK, from All The way, they gave Celine a modern look.

The Power Of Love always seemed boring to me, I loved Immortality the first time I saw the video, I'm your angel is good but celine is always standing in the same place (gave me the impression that it's R. Kelly's video and not Celine's). It's all coming back it's beautiful, Misled and Think Twice are good too.

And I always enjoy the old french videos because of Celine's looks, isn't she funny?

[dlh1]

Getting a music video these days is a struggle, whether good or bad...

[dedeu3]

the best celine videos for me are: I WANT YOU TO NEED ME
                                                     IT S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW
                                                     FALLING INTO YOU
                                                      POUR QUE TU M AIMES ENCORE
                                                     DES MOTS QUI SONNENT

the worst ones: JE DANSE DANS MA TETE
                         UNISON
                         LOVE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS
                         ZIGGY

[dedeu3]

in Taking chances she is gorgeous as well love the song and the video

[Matias]

Cool video, but I have never seen it in HD! Celines face get lost with so much light in her face LOL

[eduardomolina]

Best: A new day has come
Worst: I drove all night

[CelineDionFreak]

IDAN had the potential to be a good video, but it just lacked a lot.

[Modesta]

Did you give enough love   I would die to have it in HD!
Worst, incognito

[gafsa]

Worst

[Leah-M_ILoveCeline5]

worst???? how can you say that any Celine video is the worst In my opinion I think they're all amazing every single one of them doesn't anybody else agree with me???

[woodstock]

Best : Je sais pas (so moving)
Worst : One Heart (so ugly !)

[APAD]

I made a YouTube video of the best videos a few years back, with votes from this forum:


My personal list is actually quite close to this list, with a few videos being higher and a few being lower.

[LukeD]

^ Can't believe the 'music video' for 'To Love You More' made it to the list, but 'Immortality' was left out. Must be her 2nd or 3rd most expensive music video, deserved a place IMO.

[celine4evauk]

Love Think Twice video - Celine looks good, the bloke looks really good, ice, chainsaw - what more do you need??

And (someone help cos i can't remember which song it is) the video from the unison album where she's wearing a purple jumper. Always thought she looked really pretty. TLTK maybe??

Was this version of the song ever released? I've never heard this version of the lyrics before.

[woodstock]

Yes, this is the first recorded version of the song, as released at the time.
The song had been rewritten and re-recorded for the album.

I know it wasnt a video. The show was good but bad because they could have made one instead of using concert footage.
