Will Celine ever record another majestic album like D'eux?

[Prince Whiskers]

Her best album of all time as far as I'm concerned. The only retro album that I still play weekly. The songs and her voice are flat-out ethereal.

[fred]

PQTME and JSP and J'A and LB. Other than that this album is hugely overrated. Most of the uptempo (read all) are embarrisngly dorky and Goldman shouldn't be allowed to do anything else but ballads.

[fab]

she have tryin to do the same thing with "D'Elles" but it's a floap...

So she will tryin again??? i don't think so...

[Javito]

I better like SSDA than D'eux

[miracle_girl]

I dont believe in my heart that she will

record amazing albums like D'eux SSD'A & Thier english equivilents Falling into you & LTAL

 

They were all amazingly good albums i just dont think any other albums will live up to them

however i do believe that taking chances has been seriously underrated!! by alot of people

in the industry and i would put it in her top 3!!

She didn't try to do the same with D'elles.

D'elles wasn't supposed to be the next D'eux ... It was a new French album and that's all.

It was not a flop.It sold close to 700.000 worldwide and during the next tour, it will reach for sure 1 mil copies .

 

D'eux was and is indeed her best French album ever.It goes far beyond her English recordings too.

I also think that TCH is one of her best English albums to date and it deserves to be up there with TCOML, FIY and LTAL.

 

Maybe she will do a great quality album when she teamps up again with Jean-Jacques Goldman.

I mean, I hope he will start writing music for her again.I miss his artistic touch on her French songs...

I miss those days...I want him back.

[dj4celine]

I agree with what Fred said. And also in my opinion, D'elles is far better than D'eux... well, it's just my opinion though... but i never seem to feel the "ethereal" feeling that I feel whenever i listen to D'elles and even D'eux for some reason.

 

As for her english albums, we all know that none...yes, NONE.... can ever come close to her french albums... her English albums are just recordings (in a good way) but her french albums are master-pieces. Peace

:yes:

[anewdayhascome]

for me every album is different and unique.... i don't like comparing them.... i find always the best sides!

and as for the some hit album...

Celine doesn't need to prove anything and doesn't want any huge succees...

She has done so many big things and now as she sais she does what she enjoys and likes even if it doesn't become a world wide block buster.... but for us fans we love them all and we can just listen them and enjoey them that's all

[speedy]

and 700.000 for a french album today is not a flop...

 

D'elles is still one of the 100 most sold albums in the world at 2007, sooo...

I have to agree that D'eux is my favorite. But don't discount her other albums, they are all great in their own right.

I think that's a tad harsh. Every song on D'eux is amazing. There isn't one song on that album that is flawed.

 

I don't think Celine will ever have another album like it and I don't think anyone will ever come close. She could've gone a lot further with SISDA but she was too busy with the LTAL tour and whatnot. I'm not sure what they're planning to do with D'elles...at this point it seems to be a lost cause. I'm sure she will choose some songs from it to sing during the world tour but that's it. Before RC, all Celine wanted to do was be the best, but her priorities have changed since then. It is okay though...everything she's done in the past is untouchable and no one can even compare.

[Alex_Incognito]

I much prefer D'ELLES over D'EUX, and I love both of them very, very much. D'ELLES evokes so many feelings and it came out at a very good time in my life.

[Celine, I Love u my Oh my!]

i hope she does, i dont want her to become tooo pop like lots of other artists, i prefer d'elles too! both fantastic albums however

[alextrusca]

Yes, D'elles came in a very difficult period of my life too, when I lost somebody and some of those songs have been for quite some time with me because of that reason. I believe that D'elles is a gorgeous album.It has a lot feeling put in it and is ideal in its own way.It is classic and modern, edgy sometimes but full of quality and beautiful music.

 

But D'eux remains a masterpiece when it comes to music, lyrics, vocal technique and interpretation skills.

[Attendais]

D'elles

 

IS THE BEST CELINE ALBUM EVER!

 

 

D'eux isn't so good...

[Javier_Natalio]

1F&4T is the best.

[cmcdaori]

I better like SSDA than D'eux

 

 

I love it too..but sometimes i do love d'eux more than SSDA,but i think i love SSDA better...simply cant choose..hheeh

[amelie]

i like D'elles and i listen to it quite often but it doesn't come even close to D'eux and Sisda. D'eux has some spectacular songs like Je sais pas and J'attendais but i like SISDA as a whole and its subtleness , i just can't choose.

 

Lucky me that noone can tell to JJG what kind of music to write, i love Dans un autre monde and Destin

[sayyed]

I must say I find D'EUX way too overrated. Sure it's a success, but I think she could have done that easily withz every other french album in 1995. The other way arround - D'EUX in 2007 wouldn't have hade the same success as D'ELLES. To me, D'EUX is just a compilation of some very good songs, while D'ELLES, SSDA and 1F&4T are whole albums with a direction. Just my opinion, though I love PQTME, JSP and PP, I listen rarely to D'EUX.

[sangstar]

in one word No! D'Eux was wicked, and live A Paris was wicked as well. Id say d'eux and s'il suffisait d'aimer is on the same level and 1F4T.

celine and jjgoldman are magic together.

[Javito]

Totally AGREE . I don't know why french fans and non-french fans get always that excited with D'eux. Ok it has PQTME, that's probably her best french song, but the rest of the album? I don't get what it has to attract so many people.

It is at the same level (at least) than SSDA or even Dion Chante Plamondon. Isn't Dion Chante Plamondon a masterpiece too? What about L'Amour Existe Encore? That's a great song, much better than Je Sais Pas or others in D'eux (except PQTME). And the emotional lyrics of SSDA? For me D'eux is not at all her best french album, SSDA and DCP deserves also that place the same that D'eux or even a higher position

DCP is greatly underrated, it even has some decent up-tempo tracks.

 

Don't get this hype about D'Eux at all, 1F&4T, SISDA,DCP are all better than D'Eux, but they weren't given as much attention as D'Eux, nor had the same timing.

 

I overall get this wierd feeling that it is in some okward way regarded as "hip" for a CF to say they like D'Eux.

[Prince Whiskers]

Eh? D'eux is her timeless album. It's that rare album where every song is a gem, where every song is a medium of Celine's beautiful voice, her warm heart and her reflective soul. 1f4t is fun but not as sublime. SISDA is a nice follow-up to D'eux but I can't tolerate Celine's overt nasality on On Ne Change Pas (the higher part), Je Chanterai, Terre and especially Sur Le Meme Bateau. D'elles is just as personal as D'eux but it doesn't have anything that stands up to songs like PQTME and JSP.

 

PQTME - When you're pining for a lost love, the lyrics go through you like a dagger.

LB - Seductive, classy.

Regarde-moi - Captures the energy and urgency with which Celine pursues her ambitions.

JSP - Dramatizes without being schmaltzy the insecurites and fears that come with loving.

Memoirs of Abraham - Not my type but it's profoundly sad.

CE - The ultimate Celine inspirational song IMO. "Search again.....And I'll be with you every step of the way." The chorus lines just take the breath away.

Destin - Happy music, grudging lyrics. It's all about accepting the fact that life doesn't really give you too many choices.

Les Derniers - Ethereal lyrics, yes.

J'irais OU Tu Iras - Full of energy and passion. It's amazing that Celine's powerful voice blended well with JJG's simple voice.

J'attendais - Atmospheric, melancholic, graceful.

Priere Paienne - My kind of worship song. NOT tries-too-hard New Dawn.

Vole - Romanticizes death without being spooky.

[abadi]

1F&4T is the best.

 

[smw]

When Celine recorded D'eux, she was still pushing herself and trying to find her style - and prove to EVERYONE that she had a truly amazing ability and she knew how to work with it.

 

On top of that, her voice was fluid. It was silky smooth perfection - and while she still sounds amazing, it's only natural that she will not sound that ungodly ever again. But I must say I was blown away by her live vocals back at the St. Justine benefit, so who knows!

 

But there are songs on D'eux that will forever haunt me as the most impressive vocals ever.

[gmany]

I must say that 'S'Il Suffisait d'Aimer' is a Majestic album too!

[salsacolin]

Yeah D'eux is AMAZING! her vocals are out of this world. SSD is my favourite album EVER but D'eux is spectacular and I can totally understand why it did so good. It was the first of its kind and if you play it right through you can totally appreciate how different and incredible it was at the time. When I played it for the first time i had goosebumps and D'elles does not give me that except in Je Ne Suis Pas C'elle even then her voice is so much holding back compared to D'eux. I know its just the way she sings now and I accept that but D'eux is so sharp and crisp, clear, edgy everything in one. It's easy to enjoy newer albums better because the old ones have been played to death but if you remain objective I reckon D'eux is still her best musically. (my personel pref is SSD)

[Prince Whiskers]

I can't believe some think that D'eux is overrated. You want overrated? I give you.........LTAL!

Thank goodness for James Horner and his temerity to defy James Cameron's initial hesitation to use a movie theme.
