"D'Elles": Personal Reviews - Official Topic

[celinedion1]

I just got this cd today and I have listened to it already about 10 times.

 

1. Et s'it n'en restait qu'une ~ 9/10

When I first heard this song I must admit that I didn't like it at all. After listening to it a seoncd time I now love this song. I think that this song starts off the album well. It's kind of upbeat but it also has a soft side to it. I love how the music sounds on this song also.

 

2. Immensite ~ 9/10

I love how Celine's voice sounds on this song with the music. When the song first starts you think that it's going to get faster but it slows down. I love the music in this song it's so beautiful. This is a great choice for a 2nd single.

 

3. A Cause ~ 8.5/10

This song reminds me of her song called If That's What It Takes. This song is a nice up beat song. This song would be a nice driving song. After a few listens though this song can feel kind of flat.

 

4. Je Cherche l'ombre ~ 9.5/10

This is one of my favorite songs on the album. This is such a beautiful song, it would be good in a movie. Even though this song is very soft and slow, Celine's vioce is very powerful in it. I also love the musical insurments in this song.

 

5. Les Paradis ~ 9.5/10

This is another one of my favoirte song on the album. This is a very catchy song, it has a nice beat to it. This would also be another nice driving song. I love the end part of this song, it's beautiful.

 

6. Le Diva ~ 8.0/10

This is probably my least favorite song on the album. Even though this is a nice song and I love how Celine's voice sounds. I don't really like the opera at the end of the song. I do however like the opera at the begining of the song. This sound reminds me of something that you would hear at the end of a movie. If there was only opera at the begining of this song and not at the end of it than I would of probably liked it better.

 

7. Femme Comme Chancune ~ 9.0/10

This song seems similar to the song A Cause. It seems to have the same tempo in the begining of the song but after that it becomes up tempo. I love how Celine's voice blends with the music on this song. The music on this song is great.

 

8. Si J'etais Quelqu'un ~ 8.0/10

This song is very soft but very beautiful at first. Than towards the middle of the song it seems to turn into a rock song. Than it seems to go back to a soft low tempo song. I don't really like the arrangement on this song. I do like the guitar part of this song though towards the end of the song.

 

9. Je Ne Sais Pas Celle ~ 9.0/10

This song is a very beautiful soft song. I love how celine sounds on this song. This song is kind of bluesy feeling similar to the song called I'm Caling You.

 

10. Le temps que compte ~ 9.0/10

I love this song. This song is beautiful sounding and I love the drums in it.

 

11. Lettre De George Sand a Alfred de Musset ~ 9.0/10

Even though this song is a letter to someone. It is a very beautiful song and a very interesting concept.

 

12. On s'est aime a cause ~ 9.5/10

I don't know if this is the same song as A Cause but I love how this song sounds. It's very soft and it's a very relaxing song. This song is very peaceful and this song should be a single. This is another one of my favorite songs on the cd. I think that out of all of the songs on the cd this is probably the best one.

 

13. Bercause ~ 9.0/10

This song sounds like it belongs on the Miracle album. Even though this song is about her kid, it's still a very nice soft song.

 

Overall I would rate this album a solid 9/10. I think that this is her best french album to date. This is certainly my favorite french album that shes released so far.

i have to say that when i first bought D'elles i thought it was ok.. but i listen to it EVERYDAY ALLDAY!! and now i love the whole album.. and i really have to say that i think it's one of her best albums in a long long time.. i love it soo much.. it's amazing!!

[brasilero]

i'm the opposite. when i first heard the songs on the tva d'elles special i was blown away. when i heard the whole album i can easily say it's Celine's best French album, SSD being the 2nd and 1F4T being the 3rd. i love every singlesong on the album even the talking parts where Celine uses a parisian french accent

[nano]

Can't help it..but I skip all the other songs and listen A Cause non-stop. I love the song. Love it. Love it. Love it. Looooove it.

[brasilero]

Can't help it..but I skip all the other songs and listen A Cause non-stop. I love the song. Love it. Love it. Love it. Looooove it.

yea ... A Cause, it deserves a special mention. both versions are brill. the most brilliant song ever written

[fred]

I graded the tracks from one to ten, five being on the edge of not needed on the album.

 

ET S’IL N’EN RESTAIT QU’UNE - 9,5/10

The strongest track on the album

I don’t know for how long I have waited to hear Céline backed up by a real bombastic orchestra. Et S’il N’en Restait Qu’une has one of the most fantastic productions of a Céline Dion track - one of very few, wich is extremely sad considering the range and power of Céline Dion. It's a relief to see the absent of dorky cheap production sadly most of her French mid-tempo a la Jean-Jacque Goldman have. The style feels new yet so comfortable and right for Céline. The track is close to absolute perfection. What gives it a -0,5 is the interesting intro, which stays as an intro but really should be more than just that. My hopes for the intro when I first heard Et S’il N’en Restait Qu’une was that it was and outro of the track before. But since this is the albums first track my theory went down the trash can. (However, since rumors have been circulating about an English version of this track, perhaps the intro is an outro from a track on the forthcoming English album.) The strongest track on the album.

 

IMMENSITÉ - 4,5/10

Album fill out.

First listen to this and you’ll roll your eyes and yawn while calling this a left over from the 1997 S’il Suffisait D’aimer album. It has nothing new about it. The track is simply boring. Yet after hearing a few times you’ll see it works as album fill out, but why it got to be a single beats me. And it is, even though D’elles has done well, a single which will make the album fall on the charts rather than helping it rice.

 

A CAUSE - 7/10

This is single material.

After going out with such a strong track as Et S’il N’en Restait Qu’une this track feels like an embarrassing attempt to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. But after hearing it a few times (and especially when having Immensité prior to it) rises its status dramatically. It is a nice and welcomed change for her French up-tempo tracks which normally feels out-dated (or shall I say never dated) and embarrassingly corny. The production has a warmth not many of her French tracks has. That too is welcomed. Her vocals is very good compared to similar tracks such as Reveal from 2003. The aggressiveness which can be found in her French performances is noticeable in this track and would be very welcome in her English work. The track is catchy and quite rocky and has hit potential. This is single material.

 

JE CHERCHE L’OMBRE - 10/10

The track is timeless.

Could it be anymore pretty? Could it be anymore perfect? Anymore romantic? Anymore mysterious? No. Well yes it could but then it would be overkill, and thank God the only attempts which could come close to overkill is 02:37 into the track, and perhaps the somewhat soulless "ohohoohoohooh"s. The tracks strongest part is where Céline almost breathes the lyrics at 02:13, where normally a bombastic melodramatic climax would be in a classic Céline track. The production is classy and fine. And the track is timeless. And I would almost dare to say it is a typical Céline track but with the lack of a melodramatic climax which at this point of her career is a good thing, we’ve heard that, we know she can do it. It is very wanted that Céline Dion would take a dramatic change in her musical style, but since it seems to be almost impossible for unknown reasons at the time being a classic Céline track like this is very welcome.

 

LES PARADIS - 4/10

Les Paradis should had been edited out long before it even got recorded.

Ok. I thought monsieur Goldman wouldn’t be involved in this album more than supervising it, yet Goldman’s spirit is clearly visible in this track. It is album fill out, yet I doubt it wouldn't be too hard to find something better to fill out an album with. Is it B-side material then? No not even that. Because a B-side needs to be stronger than Les Paradis yet weaker than album fill out. The only function I could find for Les Paradis is album fill out on an album stuffed with hit single material, to work as a neutralizer, but since D’elles is no such album Les Paradis should had been edited out long before it even got recorded. The only strength in this track is the part about 03:00 where you expect a climax but all you get is a repeat, that’s a nice unexpected feature.

 

LA DIVA - 6/10

This sounds like a ”goodbye track”, an ending to an album.

How weird it was to hear the opera intro, yet this and the opera outro are the parts I like the most about this track. A good thing? I guess not, since these parts are already another song I guess. The rest of the song is beautiful yes, but that doesn’t take away that it is booring. This track also feels like it could had been on S’il Suffisait D’aimer, which is - don’t get me wrong - a very fine album, yet it is ten years old and I guess we all agree that we don’t want reused material on new releases. I know this isn’t a reused track, but that doesn’t take away the fact that it feels like one. The most surprising thing about this track is its position in the track list. This sounds like a ”goodbye track”, an ending to an album. La Diva should had been placed as last track or more suitable as a ghost track. (It’s been rumored that there should be two other versions of this track, English and Italian, why that is I have no clue, because I couldn’t come up with any worse idea than put this on an English album, if they persist to go on with that foolish idea I hope they’ll take the Italian version.)

 

FEMME COMME CHACUNE - 4,5/10

Please, please Céline stay away from these kind of tracks.

I don’t know why I like the cheap synthesizer, perhaps because it is new for Céline. The verses feels very nice. But the choruses are as geeky as they could be. I could learn to like it but the title line sounds as comically dorky when being sung in the song as it does being read as a title. Please, please Céline stay away from these kind of tracks.

 

SI J’ÉTAIS QUELQ’UN - 6/10 (10/10 for the choruses)

Céline sings the title line in the verses the worst way she possibly could.

Another corny title. And it doesn’t help that Céline sings the title line in the verses the worst way she possibly could. Who produced this track and approved those horrible soulless hissing ”si j’étais quelq’un”:s in the verses? They bring down the track more than it deserves. The choruses sound surprisingly good (just as the prior track it is a huge different between verses and choruses) and here we can enjoy the wonderful electric guitarr rocky feeling and the rocky edge in Céline’s vocals we’ve been missing since Piaf Chanterait Du Rock (Dion Chante Plamondon 1991). I wanna give the chorus a ten out of ten but the verses diserve only two out of ten. So the overall grade of this track meets half way and yet it feels like a sin since the choruses are extremely fine.

 

JE NE SUIS PAS CELLE - 10/10

The mysterious melancholic way she soars the chorus is priceless!

This track stands above every other track on this album, with ease. The soul in Céline’s vocals is surprisingly present here compared to the rest of the album. Even though this isn’t a track easily sung by any random vocalist, Céline feels relaxed and gives the feeling that she doesn’t focus on technique here, just the feeling. The mysterious melancholic way she soars the chorus is priceless! And I can simply say this track alone makes this album worth buying. But in a weird way this track blends in and is forgotten, perhaps for the simple fact that it actually is very similar to any other typical Céline track…

 

LE TEMPS QUI COMPTE - 5/10

Would work very well as a B-side.

Every time this song starts it takes some time to remember which track this is. It is a bit catchy, but very simple. Nice production, but nothing special. It sounds dark and I am sure this track would do well in for example Finland were songs sung in minor key is very popular. But otherwise I wouldn’t praise this track too much. I’m having a hard time seeing it fit on any album. But it would work very well as a B-side, however.

 

LETTRE DE GEORGE SAND À ALFRED DE MUSSET - 5,5/10

It sounds as if Céline makes up the melody as she sings.

The music is brilliant. And the whispering intro which have received such bad critique actually works. What doesn’t work is the rest of the song. It sounds as if Céline makes up the melody as she sings. The music in the background which is the strength of this track is way too low. When I first heard of this track and about using George Sand’s letter I was thrilled. It is a true shame that it wasn’t treated with more respect and approached in another way. The best part of the singing in this song is between 04:11 and 04:17 and which isn’t (correct me if I’m wrong) not even a part of the letter.

 

ON S’EST AIMÉ À CAUSE - 10/10

One of the best tracks on the album.

An English track in French! No, this track hasn’t been recorded in English, not what I know of anyway. But the feeling of it is the same feeling most of her English love ballads have. I have long claimed that to me her English work has had a ”warm feeling” and her French a ”cold feeling” regardless if it has been good or bad. For the first time I finally see these two ”musical temperatures” blending. Along with A Cause and perhaps Et S’il N’en Restait Qu’une is this track one of the French tracks which has the warmth of an English track. On S’est Aimé À Cause is even though it is a typical Céline track the one of the best tracks on the album. You can hear it in Céline’s vocals, nothing to complain about here, she knows how to approach this track. Marc Dupré did re-pay Céline for Tout Pres Du Bonheur very well, something I thought would be close to impossible. Good job! Definitely hit single material.

 

BERCEUSE - 8/10

If only the theme would had been less sugar sweet.

Now, before knowing what this song was about I just as with Je Lui Dirai praised it. But now I am a bit confused. The melody and the singing is really good. If only the theme would had been less sugar sweet, this would be a ten out of ten. Sorry.

 

Total album grade judged on tracks 7/10.

 

The cover art is the best possible, however these thick dig packs feels somewhat unnecessary. A huge minus for once again not having any subtitles in English or any other language but French in French released DVDs.

What is really odd is that this is claimed to be an album by women. Yet the woman have only written the lyrics. Why, if the album is claimed to have woman as a theme and promotes it like that, haven’t they only had female producers and composers?! Yea, you say, but the lyrics are written by female only. But then the lyrics have then been edited by men. The tracks have been composed and produced by men and yet it is claimed that D’elles is extraordinary by the fact that it is made by woman only - bullshit! It is a mockery against woman. Yet again it is shown that yea, it is ok for women to produce as long as they are supervised and edited by men…

 

The album would had gotten much more attention and greater PR and sales if it had lived up to its slogan. Look through the booklet and see how many men have been involved in this project and how few women, it is comical.

 

It is nice to see however, regardless of the "false" advertising about the woman issue, that this is a very good album and along with 1 Fille & 4 Types and Dion Chante Plamondon one of the very few French albums which are not corny.

[Davey84]

wow

 

ok I couldn't just leave it to just wow... I agree on most things you said, except for the big praise of JE NE SUIS PAS CELLE ... it has the same darkness of Je Crois toi but yet it doesn't make it... it's kinda boring at the end... and I don't agree on Si j'était quelqu'un... I don't see why she has to 'shout' the chorus... oh well

 

The more I've listened to D'elles, the more I love it!! Yes it could have been better, but I think this album is the first one to come close to the perfectnes of D'eux... My fav is still On s'est aimé à cause.. and if Sony doesn't release this song together with à Cause... then it will be the death of another gem... and the D'elles album. But I can not wait to hear Céline perform these songs live! à cause de malgré we all know live is when the songs really come to life

Yes, SISDA is so sappy and syrupy. It's ridicuous it's so sappy I can't breath while listening to it.

[fred]

Yes, SISDA is so sappy and syrupy. It's ridicuous it's so sappy I can't breath while listening to it.

 

What...?

 

/fred

[Davey84]

no sebby that's because your breath is taken by the masterpiece

[blue.grave]

Well, what can I say. D'Elles is a great album. I've heard this thing over forty times sense I got it. And love more and more. my sore for D'Elles is 10 out of 10.

[Jeffieboi]

So after going from store to store and not finding the album, just decided to order it off amazon.com. I'm actually still on track 8 but this album is AMAZING! OMG I don't even have a favorite yet cuz they're all so good. A Cause is amazing, Les Paradis, La Diva, all amazing. Great job Celine!

[blue.grave]

Shwey for you man. It's one of her best so far.

[viva_celine]

Here are some of my favorite tracks on the D'Elles album:

 

- La Diva (I would love to see Celine doing some classical, with a twist of pop and contemporary)

- A Cause (very lively)

- Je Ne Suis Pas Celle

- Lettre de George Sand a Alfred de Musset (If you've read what's inside the letter, you'll definitely realize what love is all about)

- On S'est Aime A Cause (soft and mellow)

 

It is really worth buying! Giving the album a 9.5 out of 10.

[viva_celine]

I have listened the album more than 30 times now. I guess more than that. Didn't really count. Out of 13 tracks, I lov 12 tracks only!

 

Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là) - 8/10

This one is alright but bcuz I already heard this music since March so it's a bit boring now.

 

Immensité - 9/10

Slow and beautiful

 

A cause - 10/10

This is an amazing track I would say. Great combination of music and with Celine voice, she's the best.

 

Je cherche l'ombre - 9/10

Slow - love the flute music so much.

 

Les paradis - 9/10

I dunno why but I just love the way this music is being played. Especially the ending part of it.

 

La diva - 8.5/10

Love the opera song at the beginning.A bit bored in the middle somehow. I always skip to the end of this song.

 

Femme comme chacune - 9.5/10

Again, after the ending of La Diva, this song begins. It's really beautiful and I admit Celine has the best voice ever.

 

Si j'étais quelqu'un - 8.5/10

It's very slow but overall it's quite high beat at the chorus part. Love it.

 

Je ne suis pas celle - 8/10

I don't like the beginning and ending of this song, it makes the whole song bored. But somehow the chorus part is beautiful again!

 

Le temps qui compte - 10/10

My favourite on this album!!! Better than On s'est aime a cause!! Love the music and fast music from Celine. It's not too fast, but kinda easy to listen at and I've listened to it more than 50 times now.

 

Lettre de George Sand à Alfred de Musset - 4/10

I have no idea what this song means. Although to Celine, it's a good idea to convert a letter into a song. But I seriously have no idea what this song means. When i play on my player, I'll make sure i skip this track. I never listen the whole track yet

 

On s'est aimé à cause - 9.5/10

I thought they have different lyrics but it's exactly the same! It's nice to hear to this song after Le temps qui compte.

 

Berceuse - 9/10

It's nice to close up the album! Similar to Vole in D'eux and Fly in Falling Into You.

 

Overall 9/10!!

 

The single, "Lettre de George Sand à Alfred de Musset" is based on a farewell love letter, exchanged between two of the most famous French writers of the 19th century. (George Sand and Alfred de Musset)

 

For the translation of the song...

 

http://english.celine-dion.net/viewsong.php?ID=1364

[viva_celine]

The French song tradition dictates the general supremacy of lyrics over music. Celine’s album abides to this non-written law. If someone summed up the meaning of the thirteen tracks, it would sound like this. If an immensely loving woman (track 2) and a diva (track 6) and a woman like any other (track 7) were to choose to be someone (track 8) other than what she was (track 9), she would write a letter of George Sand to Alfred de Musset (track 11) who loved each other for a reason (track 12) because (track 3) she would stay that one (track 1) who thinks that in paradise (track 5) it’s the time that counts (track 10) while signing a lullaby (track 13) and not the search of shadow (track 4). Whew! Are you still with me? I hope you got the big picture. “D’Elles” is about the myriad of issues modern women face. The range of those issues spans from being a loving but working mom, a diva, a faithful wife and a free-thinking but caring woman.

[thevoice]

let me start by saying that 2 months after the release i still think DELLES is her best french album to date

which makes me even more angry towards sony for not promoting it right and turning it to her worst selling album ever with an embarrassing 300k sold

 

i still think LA DIVA is the most emotional and amazing song and "Je cherche l'ombre" is not far behind .

A CAUSE is amazing also and in my opinion it has the most potential as a commercial single - i said it right from the start .

right now i cant stop listening to "Le temps qui compte" - i love the lyrics and the melody - one more treasure

 

there is only 2 songs that i skip everytime i listen to this album - the worst song on this album for me would have to be "On s'est aimé à cause" . i dont like her voice there , i think she is trying too hard and it's a mess - in parts she screams there and not really singing .

the other song is "Femme comme chacune" - i dont know why they put this one on the album...

 

overall - an amazing album , what a commercial waste

are you shitting me shai?? you're favorite song is La Diva and you say she's trying to hard and screaming on OSAC?? i dont know whether to laugh or roll my eyes!

[celine5-5]

1. Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une- 9 (good song, but it lacks something somewhere)

2. Immensite- 10 (I love this song, it's excellent, love the violins)

3. A Cause- 8 (it's ok, but there isn't really a climax, it's just all one theme)

4. Je Cherche L'ombre- 10 (this song is very beautiful, i love everything about it)

5. Les Paradis- 7 (this song is just not my type of song, it reminds me of Destin)

6. La Diva- 8 (I like it until the second time she says "magnifique". This particular note is VERY out of tune, and I don't think having the "eeeeeeeee" sound on that high note was a good idea.)

7. Femme Comme Chacune- 10 (This song is amazing)

8. Si J'etais Quelqu'un- 10 (The most important thing about this song is the message. It kind of makes me feel at ease when I hear it. It's like Cherche Encore, except more relaxed and less tense)

9. Je Ne Suis Pas Celle- 10 (I like this song, it's very nice)

10. Le Temps Qui Compte- 10 (I like this song from beginning to end).

11. La Lettre De Georges Sand A Alfred De Musset- 6 (boring song, except for the beginning)

12. On S'est Aime A Cause - 5 (her voice is kind of crappy in it, sorry)

13. Berceuse- 4 (it's a nice song but i'm really sick of the whole "mama" thing)

 

Overall, this is one of her best. I like.

the worst song on this album for me would have to be "On s'est aimé à cause" . i dont like her voice there , i think she is trying too hard and it's a mess - in parts she screams there and not really singing .

 

are you shitting me shai?? you're favorite song is La Diva and you say she's trying to hard and screaming on OSAC?? i dont know whether to laugh or roll my eyes!

 

u r a bit confused tal

there is a major diffrence between singing in a powerful manner and screaming . when celine sings LCMM she is screaming and i can't stand it HOEVER when she sings GBA or LEE just for example her voice is very powerful , she hits all the right notes but she is NOT screaming!! hitting a note for 20 sec is not screaming if she is using her amazing vibrato and her deep register .

 

in LA DIVA she is not screaming - she is as accurate as she was in the 90's and that's why i love this song . on SAAC however u can tell she is trying too hard...what was very easy for her in LA DIVA sounded with way too much effort here...

i blame the producers and the arrangments

OSAC is the smoothest French song from Celine ever. There is not even one glitch.

 

And you can hear clearly she didn't hit some notes very correctly in La Diva. I think she onyl sang it for 1-2 takes. And they didn't bother to record again, and think it's good enough.

there is only 2 songs that i skip everytime i listen to this album - the worst song on this album for me would have to be "On s'est aimé à cause" . i dont like her voice there , i think she is trying too hard and it's a mess - in parts she screams there and not really singing .

the other song is "Femme comme chacune" - i dont know why they put this one on the album...

 

you're kidding right?

 

OSAAC is by far one of the best records she has doone in ages (not just on this album), from the lyric to the music to the singing. And La "pretentious" Diva is nothing but that: pretentious lyrics, pretentious arrangement and my God, can someone tell her to stop screaming! This song is a huge "0" in my book. The other must skips are"lettre to geoarges sand and Berceuse. Other than that, a fantastically underpromoted album with a huge unexploited potential!

you're the ONLY one that thinks this way. How do you contradict yourself time after time?
