CHUCK TAYLOR

Billboard senior correspondent, pop; single reviews editor

1. Celine Dion, "Taking Chances" (Columbia)

Peerless singer roars, soars, scores with full-length post-Vegas payout.

 

2. Maroon 5, "Makes Me Wonder" (Octone/A&M)

Among the craftiest dance grooves since Chic.

 

3. Daughtry, "Home" (RCA); Carrie Underwood, "Before He Cheats" (Arista Nashville)

"American Idol" champs cook up beefy hits.

 

4. Mika, "Grace Kelly," (Casablanca/Universal Republic)

Kitsch persona conjures a seriously creative chorus. Suddenly, I don't miss the '80s.

 

5. Delta Goodrem, "Delta" (Sony BMG)

Aussie chanteuse lightens up on third CD with return to hatful of hooks.

 

6. Celine Dion & Elvis Presley, "If I Can Dream" (19)

"Live" performance on "AI" a sensational show biz event.

 

7. "Crystal Gayle's Greatest Hits" (Capitol)

All-American apple pie with a dusting of sugar on top.

 

8. Jennifer Hudson, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"; Beyonce, "Listen," both from "Dreamgirls" (Sony Music Soundtrax)

Hudson catapults a career, Beyonce earns hers.

 

9. Tinatin, "Wild"; Beu Sisters, "My Song"; Karine Hannah, "Remember My Song" (Breaking Records)

Indie singer/songwriters pave heavenly harmonic highway, all produced by talented Turk Ayhan Sahin.

 

10. Westlife, "Back Home" (Sony BMG)

Ninth album from Europe's quintessential pop act hits my soft spot… again.

lol.. that´s almost like cheating, Celine! To have Chuck put on top of his list... and maybe the title of the topic should be "Celine tops MY list."

That's it, those were my thoughts... sorry to be a smartass, it's all going out with love... we appreciate you Chuck!

 

Regards.

Javi.

yeah there was a time i tried to post stuff anonymously, but you guys were way too smart for that!

 

i suppose it is self-indulgent to post this here, but i love nothing more than sharing the good word that celine is getting due props.

[Shamrock_1982]
