nystrele Posted November 9, 2007 at 03:37 PM Posted November 9, 2007 at 03:37 PM hello my friends. here is the billboard spotlight album review that comes out in the issue that streets friday, november 16. enjoy!xoxoxoxo=chuck= CELINE DIONTaking ChancesProducers: variousColumbiaRelease Date: Nov. 13Celine Dion’s 10th English-language studio album and first in three years showcases an artist eager to escape all preconceptions. On “Taking Chances,” the world’s best-selling female artist lets go of diva serenades in favor of true grit. All elements signal fresh direction, from producers Ben Moody, Linda Perry and Ne-Yo; lyrics that address edgy life lessons; and vocal technique foregoing creamy polish. Still, authenticity commands Dion’s mission. The midtempo rock title track is destined for AC’s top 10, while other radio triumphs include the empowering “My Love” and a rowdy cover of Heart’s “Alone.” Also noteworthy are the Janis Joplin-esque “That’s Just the Woman in Me” and “This Time,” a chilling socially conscious rock ballad about a battered woman. Packing an emotional wallop, “Chances” should quash critics who insist that Dion’s voice is stainless steel.—CHUCK TAYLOR Quote
Xpresso Posted November 9, 2007 at 03:52 PM Posted November 9, 2007 at 03:52 PM Thanks nystrele!! Great review from our dear Chuck Taylor but somehow I expected a much more "in your face" review for the radio programmers to wake up! But I'm really happy anyhow about his words like "an artist eager to escape all preconceptions" and "Chances should quash critics who insist the Dion's voice is stainless steel!!!!" Thanks to Chuck!

Bellamy Posted November 9, 2007 at 05:05 PM Posted November 9, 2007 at 05:05 PM Thanks Chuck!!! :flowers: Stainless Steel? Yes of course. That's a good description of Celine's voice! No. That's what the critics uses to decribe Celine's voice. It means her voice has no emotion like cold stainless steel.

Xpresso Posted November 10, 2007 at 01:11 AM Posted November 10, 2007 at 01:11 AM (edited) I didn't realise nystrele IS Chuck, the biggest Celine supporter!! Mr. Taylor, if you read this, it would be great if you could advise Sony on the RIGHT songs to release from this great album!! Because as you know, they made a few "mistakes" with the last albums... Thanks for your great work and perfect choice of words! Edited November 10, 2007 at 01:12 AM by Xpresso Quote
