Nat27 Posted March 28, 2008 at 02:38 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 02:38 PM I have been listening to D'elles today and then followed it with Taking Chances. Ok so I dont understand French at all, but I found myself thinking that D'elles has a more "radio" sound than Taking Chances, meaning its catchier. Anyone agree or disagree?

sasa2 Posted March 28, 2008 at 02:57 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 02:57 PM well, I don't think that "d'elles" has more "radio sound" than Taking chances!!!! Quote
Black Kitten Posted March 28, 2008 at 03:39 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 03:39 PM give me Taking Chances anyday! i enjoy only 2 songs on D'elles. the album is boring for me... sorry.. Quote
Javier_Natalio Posted March 28, 2008 at 04:21 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 04:21 PM Taking Chances! It's a huge album, so many songs, most of it just terrific material... D'elles dissapointed me, its not very listenable if you ask me. Not bad, but not listenable. Quote
smw Posted March 28, 2008 at 04:48 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 04:48 PM I think D'elles is a much more artistic, solid album than Taking Chances. But her voice is very strong on both albums - and they both have their strong qualities. Overall, I think Taking Chances sounds more radio-made than D'elles. Which isn't a good thing... 1 Quote
dj4celine Posted March 28, 2008 at 06:24 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 06:24 PM If you consider the albums as a whole, then D'elles sure scores above Taking Chances (but this of course is my perception and everyone has their own opinions) because D'elles stays true to a theme whereas Taking Chances is (undeniablly one of her best English albums) sort of hodge-podge with the songs when it comes to the entire album. For example, in Taking Chances, the album deals with so many themes (which are somewhat weird at times) most notable ones being "This Time", "New Dawn" and "Eyes on Me". I still can't figure out how they carry the message of the album (if considered one complete package). I mean EOM is Celine being flirtacious whereas in This Time she invokes the fragility of an abused woman. This just doesn't do it for me Having said that, if Singles are considered, Taking Chances definitely wins because so many wonderful songs are there and if the right singles are chosen and promoted well, they would surely become very popular and the general public are gonna see a different side of Celine with each song/single. If I happen to listen to both albums one after the other, I can listen to D'elles the entire day because the lyrics, the instrumentation for each song, the purity in Celine voice and above all, the passion she infuses in each song is just magical. But with Taking Chances, I won't say so because I still feel she needs to bring the magic to her anglophone records that she does in her francophone albums. But this is just my opinion. Quote
peo Posted March 28, 2008 at 06:32 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 06:32 PM Love Taking Chances!!!!!

Alex_Incognito Posted March 28, 2008 at 07:02 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 07:02 PM Like comparing apples and oranges. I like D'ELLES better, but I also like TC. I think D'ELLES is perhaps one of the best records of her career. It doesn't get much better than that. TC isn't as timeless, but it's a very good album. One of her best english records, next to "Celine Dion" imho. Quote "People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."- Céline Dion, 1990
Szilvi79 Posted March 28, 2008 at 09:16 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 09:16 PM I think D'ELLES is perhaps one of the best records of her career. It doesn't get much better than that.This is also my opinion, but the Album D'eux is still the best french Record of Her Career... I love D'Elles and Taking Chances both Quote Bye, Szilvi 79 "Je ne suis pas celle que les lumiéres éclairent Je ne suis pas celle qui change avec le temps Et si malgré tout je suis restée la même C’est pour approcher mes rêves d‘enfant"
amelie Posted March 28, 2008 at 10:28 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 10:28 PM Taking Chances has a more radio sound but if the question is D'elles vs Taking Chances then i'd say D'elles. i shall create a poll for THAT question Quote
Nikosn17 Posted March 28, 2008 at 10:33 PM Posted March 28, 2008 at 10:33 PM I prefer Taking Chances. Quote

asiii m Posted March 29, 2008 at 06:26 PM Posted March 29, 2008 at 06:26 PM "D'elles" is something special, specific for Celine& french romantic song altogether, just like a warm and sweet huge symphony, while "Taking chances" is more dinamic, a lot more listenable, generally speaking (not only for the fans or those who just enjoy Celine's music). As for me, "D'elles" is the boss Quote Some people have everything - they have nothing.May 21st, 2008 - Paris, Bercy & November 22nd, 2013 - Antwerpen, Sportpaleis
AllCeline Posted March 29, 2008 at 07:10 PM Posted March 29, 2008 at 07:10 PM I have been listening to D'elles today and then followed it with Taking Chances. Ok so I dont understand French at all, but I found myself thinking that D'elles has a more "radio" sound than Taking Chances, meaning its catchier. Anyone agree or disagree? Oh my gosh... this is so weird because a few nights ago, I was thinking the same thing. A lot of the songs on D'elles (even though I don't understand French) have a much more radio-friendly vibe to them. I especially LOVE "Si j’étais quelqu’un." I'm kinda jealous of the French fans... wish TC was like D'elles. I was hoping so badly for an album like this (Actually, I was hoping for an album like ANDHC, and "D'elles" sounds a lot like ANDHC to me). Anyway, I was just thinking... I wish so desperately that TC was like "D'elles." The songs are up-beat and contemporary. Not too rocky, not to pop... just perfectly centered and incredibly radio friendly! All we can do is hope and pray that Celine's next album will be like ANDHC or D'elles.

WCD199317 Posted February 27, 2018 at 04:11 AM Posted February 27, 2018 at 04:11 AM I prefer D'elles largely, all the songs tell a storys and one of them has been a hommage of Maria Cellas (one of favorite's Celine singer) for the song La Diva. I like the writing, the songs, the beautiful voice of Celine has been the best, the album has been my favorites French album (the others has been S'il Suffisait d'aimer, Encore un soir and D'eux) Taking Chances has been a good album, depiste i hate two songs of the album (Can't fight to feeling and Fades Away), the album has been a more better album then One Heart (and this the hugest album deception in my life) and i appreciate the risk of Celine to change the style of the album. 2 Quote

Celine Fan 77 Posted February 27, 2018 at 07:37 AM Posted February 27, 2018 at 07:37 AM Leaving aside the fact that we can't really compare a French album to an English one, I'd pick D'elles all the way. It definitely has a more artistic feel to it as a concept album. Compared to it, Taking Chances is just a collection of songs (in my opinion). Shame that even Céline herself regrets not giving more credit to this album in particular... 1 Quote Tournée Européenne in Paris (December 1, 2013)Céline Dion Live 2016 in Antwerp (June 20, 2016)Céline Dion Live 2017 in Birmingham (July 27, 2017)

Javito Posted February 27, 2018 at 12:24 PM Posted February 27, 2018 at 12:24 PM (edited) D'elles has never been a favourite of mine. It's not that I don't like it, but I put this album in the same category as Miracle: it's a concept album, and same as Miracle was for babies and motherhood, this is about womanhood and the celebration of women as a pivotal force in our days (which is great btw). But, needless to say, these kind of albums are not for every listener, and I think that's why it wasn't very sucessful.

frana Posted February 27, 2018 at 12:34 PM Posted February 27, 2018 at 12:34 PM The sure concept of each album is built differently, but that does not mean that he will not pay attention"D'elles" is dedicated to women."Miracle" was dedicated to celebrating life - newborn life."Taking Chances" was also built on other songs and sounds ,lyrics .so we can continue with each album. Some songs expressly for the understanding of the text and melodyand some conjure up other feelings, joy, sorrow, the desire to live , dancing , sing......It always has to be based on the feeling of these songs.

Pure art is often not met with commercial success and concept albums, in Celine's case, are the closest to what I consider "pure" art.

CelineDionFreak Posted February 27, 2018 at 01:51 PM Posted February 27, 2018 at 01:51 PM Honestly I love both of these so much, for such different reasons. I love D’elles for its heartfelt songs and I wish it would’ve had more promotion. Celine was clearly very happy about these songs but I think it got swallowed up by TC, the end of AND, and then the world tour. I love Taking Chances because I was so shocked when I heard the entire album. It was something very different than what I was used to. And I saw her live on the tour so that’s another reason I absolutely adore this album. It holds a special place in my heart! 4 Quote I didn't know love until they loved me back to life because somebody loves somebody!Le temps qui compte pour Celine est maintenant!
angelil78 Posted March 3, 2018 at 04:24 PM Posted March 3, 2018 at 04:24 PM I love D'elles and listened to it everyday for months. I never did that to Taking Chances. Not sure why. Not that I don't like TC.. just haven't marathon listened to it. And since D'elles is one of my favorite album, I got it autographed Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 4 Quote
