Celine will do it sound much better...

[Céline's Blues]

WOW!!! I loved this song! I think it's a great kind of song for her. Smooth rock...

LOL@ Smooth Rock - it's rather college rock which is exact the type of music (a la Michelle Branch) Céline should have done with OH. Would suit her perfectly.

 

Now we will have a comparison - let's see in how far her version might be brushed i.e. Céline's cover songs and songs in English in general tend to be extrmely polished, without any edges, hoarsness, this certain "close sound" that is in her French songs. Her English songs are rather theatric than acoustic and you definitely definitely hear that. I would find it pity if "Taking Chances" would be even more polished on "The Emancipation of CiDi".

If this is indeed true, it will continue in the direction of One heart in terms of young and fresh pop-rock. I hope this album is cohorent and no a mish-mash. I have said it before but it is clear to me that there is no room for I knew I loved you on this album!

I don't want a One Heart part 2! heheh Bleh.... hope it won't be like that.

While her early solo and band efforts did not result in commercial successes, she became a much-sought songwriter, writing or co-writing many international hit songs from 2000 to today (see discography below). The majority of her songs have been recorded by American females (Ashlee Simpson,Ashley Tisdale, Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Christina Aguilera, Anastacia, Pink, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and others) with a significant minority recorded by Australian females (Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia, Delta Goodrem, The Veronicas and others). She also has a song on Canadian singer Avril Lavigne's third album The Best Damn Thing. She co-wrote twelve of the fourteen songs on Hilary Duff's third studio album Dignity. DioGuardi can also be heard performing backup vocals on some of these recordings. Notable writing collaborators include Greg Wells, John Shanks, Guy Chambers and Steve Morales. Celine Dion's new 2007 CD includes the song "Taking Chances" that DioGuardi wrote and recorded with Dave Stewart in 2006 as the band Platinum Weird.

DioGuardi is working on some tracks for Britney Spears.

celine will turn this song into something completely diffrent , i'm certain about it .

anyhow - i dont loooooooooooooove this song , it's just OK

 

i really hoped dave will write something special just for her - something extraordinary . this song is alot of things but it's not extraordinary

[Céline's Blues]

i really hoped dave will write something special just for her - something extraordinary . this song is alot of things but it's not extraordinary

I agree but she will make it extraordinary. I'm more than certain.

*fingers crossed* . i still hope he might work with her on one more song - who knows...

[Tal]

I was so looking foward to her collaberation with Dave, but if 'Taking Chances' is it, then meh! He gives her bland a hand-me-down?

My sentiments exactly!

[CSCfan]

Wow, thanks for the news!

Hmm also very interesting!

So we can add Enrique to the list..

Edited July 17, 2007 at 02:37 PM by CSCfan

[Viva las Vegas]

I don't think so because "Stay Here Tonight" is one of the songs from Enrique's current album. This sentence was just a little bit misleading...

[kathyc25]

Enrique huh? that would be interesting... not sure how I feel about that yet

[Céline's Blues]

Yeah, LOL, Mathias should NOT learn English from Hideaki_Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The song is not belonging on Céline's album.

[thevoice]

i just hope Glen ballard wont give her a song alanis sang before while Ben moody would record with her an evanescence classic

[CSCfan]

You're right, I read it incorrect.. thanks!

[one_heart_1_hart]

i'll hope the official news won't be far away because

from al this info i'm going crazy we have no idea what kind of an album this will be....

[ahmed]

i really don't want a covers in this album

[winforlife]

I hope Céline nails some of her great high register notes in Taking A Chance. The song has a catchy beat..

[Celine-Express]

"Taking A Chance" it's a beautiful song! hope it's not an rumor!

[celine5-5]

celine is too good for this song. i like it, but celine can do better.

 

it might be good though, if she uses her good voice. but it wouldn't be my first choice if i was her.

[kathy4]

i am glad. i was wondering when celine would do another english album.

[Nando Férri]

celine is too good for this song. i like it, but celine can do better.

 

it might be good though, if she uses her good voice. but it wouldn't be my first choice if i was her.

Yep... More I listen to that, less I like. Sounds like a ordinary song. Nice, but ordinary. If Celine has recorded that, I wish that she changed some arrangements(sp), more rock, more power.

[$P!K&]

The song is just amazing! I imagine celine sing that! It's just the way I wish this album will be.... More rock songs...... Less R&B.... I hate R&B.... This song is so great.. Celine screaming thins song OUOUOUOUO

[changepas39]

it might be a really good song for celine...something different. the power of love was a cover...and look at it one of celine's greatest english hits

[Javier_Natalio]

I guess it´s the right direction, maybe the wrong song, I don´t know. Seems too bland. And I know we should be used to "bland" from Celine (not Céline) but I was hoping this album would take a different turn... And Celine never puts a twist into her cover songs, like never ever, except for IDAN...

[$P!K&]

I listen and listen and want more and more celine sing that kind of music.... i'ts just perfect.... like carrie underwood. Its' amazing.

[René 2]

Taking chance is Ok, not more

[Davey84]

well it's a nice song... but I can't really see Céline singing it! Although it's a musical direction I''d love to céline taking on... this song is a bit bland... I dunno I didn't have a WOW feeling with it... Maybe Céline can give it more edge!

[RLAAMJR.]

I just hope she'll have a lot of great ballads again, and others that she can belt out. It makes me excited to think and wait for her to reach the highest notes of the songs that she sings.
