[Davey84]

I ordered the single at hvm.co.uk!

 

 

but does that count for the charts, cos I'm outside the UK?

In 2 weeks time AC stations will switch to Christmas songs so I don't expect this song to get any higher than #18 on the AC chart. At this point it's a challenge for Celine to even enter the Billboard Hot 100

This is pathetic it's starting to drop in spins already.

Come on! We all know "My Love" won't ever enter the Billboard Hot 100. "Taking Chances" with all the (relative) huge promotion barely even entered the chart.

Someone please manage & revamp Celine's sagging music career!

But it only takes about 18 million AI to chart at #100 so it would've been possible with just AC airplay

Celine Dion - 'My Love'

 

* Fraser McAlpine

* 14 Oct 08, 10:32 AM

 

Celine DionThere are some artists for which the whole process of a review seems a little bit unnecessary. Cliff Richard, for example: he's been in this business a long time, and it's unlikely that there's anyone out there who hasn't made their mind up about him one way or the other by now. The same applies to Celine Dion - we all know what we're likely to get from her, and it's something most of us have a pre-determined opinion on, to the extent where individual singles make absolutely no difference.

 

(Caveat: My friend insists that she once rapped on a song, but I'm not sure if I believe him.)

 

'My Love' is unlikely to change anyone's mind, Celine-wise. It's a heartfelt, perhaps slightly overwrought ballad*, which begins with a long section where Celine sings acapella before the piano kicks in - and indeed why shouldn't she, because she's got the chops for it. I'll lay my cards on the table here: it's not really my sort of thing, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it on its own merits when it's being done well.

 

And it is here, pretty much. There's some rather peculiar pronunciation going on ("malluuhhhrve") but that's all part of her charm, I suppose, and I think it's safe to say that people who've enjoyed her previous work will find plenty to enjoy here.

 

I daresay there'll be many of you who didn't even make it this far because you already knew how you felt about this song, whether it be "yay!" or "nay :(" before you even got to the cut-link, but those of you who came in here in the hope I might reveal that this was the beginning of Celine's experimental and exciting new grunge-rock direction - sorry, no dice.

 

Considering everything I've written above I'm grading this not in terms of how it appeals to me personally, but in terms of how it fits in the general canon of Celine, which I think is the fairest way to do this. So:

 

Four stars

* Part of the reason this isn't as startlingly irritating a Celine Dion song as some is that it is relatively subtle. I mean she can sound like Meat Loaf being hit by lightning, so she deserves some credit for this, even if it is still massively theatrical compared to, say, Laura Marling.

Nice review. Thanks, Ronny for putting it up

[ahmed]

i hope it will enter top 10 before the next 2 weeks

The biggest Dutch radiostation also has a music panel in which you can grade 20 songs... the last song is always a new one of which they are asking if they should play it....this month it's "My Love"!

[Der_Griffon]

I don't find the BBC review that good, I find it rather disturbing, even though there are some nice moments ("Celine canon" being one of them).

[karatedude317]

LITE FM (106.7) has already started playing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

 

I think if this song debuts well and stays there, it might have a better chance in January. Remember TC shot up the charts after January and landed in the top 10!

[Der_Griffon]

OMG, they're already playing Xmas music? It's October for crying out loud!

Well, I already downloaded it from iTunes USA when it came out, the UK Single arrived today as did (TO MY BIG SURPSISE!!) The Himiko Fantasia single from JAPAN !!!!!!!!!!!

[averon]

Also, there was a very brief review of "My Love" in the UK Metro today (I can't tell if its favourable or not, tho):

 

"La Dion enlists songwriter Linda Perry and hits the jackpot: a guitar ballad with all the razzle-dazzle of a Las Vegas mall."

 

It's the razzle dazzle part that gets me !
