JFin95 Posted November 1, 2013 at 08:03 PM Posted November 1, 2013 at 08:03 PM I've listened to the album like 10 times now without a pause so here are some of my thoughts: LMBTL: well obviously a great song, very powerful and catchy, but still not my favorite song from the album (I thought it would've been)SLS: I like this song veery much! I just wanna dance when i hear this, and I also like her vocals a lot!Incredible: not my favorite song, but it's very radio friendly and probably young crowd will enjoy this a lot (okay weird to say this 'cause I'm young too but let's be a bit stereotypical:D)WAAF: I must admit.. Definitely one of my favorites!! At first I didn't like the raspy voice so much, but omg this has grown on me!love love loveee.Breakaway: her vocals WOW. Along WAAF this is one of my favoritesSYS: pretty good but not my favorite!DKL: not my favorite, still a good song thoughTY: beautiful song, but maybe not best for my tasteOverjoyed: This is the boring one for me..Idk, it just doesn't work for me, but it's not a bad song A17: I don't know why, but I reaally like this song.(kinda ironic since I just turned 18 a few months go:D) It has a great story and Celine's voice is beautiful!ABYG: love this too!! As some people have said, this is sooo FIYish, reaallly pretty song and her voice, just wow!US: When I first heard this song, I found it really boring but I don't know what happened because I really enjoy this song now ! I gotta say that I think that all of the songs are good, and while listening the album I don't have to skip any of them and that didn't happen with TC.. Quote

gafsa Posted November 2, 2013 at 01:51 AM Posted November 2, 2013 at 01:51 AM LMAO! That's what I think, and I've not even listened the songs. But closing the album with such too slow and outdated songs in an album that pretends to be modern and freshen up Céline's style is just a HUUUUGE contradictory. Their too contradictory lately in fact with what they do Main problem is that for example in my country we will only have the Deluxe edition (maybe the standard will come but months later), so we can't choose So u have the same problem with me. Quote
gafsa Posted November 2, 2013 at 02:02 AM Posted November 2, 2013 at 02:02 AM Really? I suppose in one way only having the deluxe edition to buy, ain't a bad problem ;-). It's not a prolem and it's not confusing. It's just an opinion. Ofcourse i my self would buy anything available. Quote
celinefan1985 Posted November 2, 2013 at 03:12 AM Posted November 2, 2013 at 03:12 AM Oh gosh, sad to see that so many people are "dissappointed". Do people really expect her to sing old-style ballads at naseaum for the rest of her life? Actuallly, if that's the expectation, there's a place for that and it's called Vegas. Although I thoroughly enjoyed seeing her at the Edison Ballroom, I would not complain if I never heard BYLM or LCMM ever again. Seriously, ALL artists need to evolve and you could see how happy she has been performing LMBTL. And because some people still expect the old Celine is the reason for the schizo addition of the Vegas covers that should have been left off completely. It's like they were afraid to fully commit to an updated sound. When you here of people being "disappointed", you can at least understand why they chose to include them. I've said it over and over again. Celine has an image problem. She wants to do new stuff but she has a concert full of old stuff. Her record company knew she needed a serious freshning up but did not quite want to give up on the old concept. And promoting it, Celine herself couldn't quite commit to being "cool" to the point of sometimes seeming apologetic about it. There's nothing wrong with not being Rihanna. I like some of Rihanna's songs. But I love the fact that Celine and her team almost fully embraced a modern and fresh take and that finally they had the b***s to release a great song as a single, even if it did not catch on in North America. The beauty about getting older is that one realizes that you cannot please everybody. As far as I'm concerned, with the exception of the covers that had no place on this album, this is one solid disk that I am very happy has finally come to fruition. 4 Quote
celinefanonline Posted November 2, 2013 at 04:00 AM Posted November 2, 2013 at 04:00 AM (edited) now after listen to the full album (without skipping any song) few times it's already become my favourite Eng album of hers if not at least it would be my top 3 English album of hersLMBTL - after hearing what Celine said in the QVC interview about this song, it's wow!! make the song more powerful! and yes it's catchy tooSLS - love it!! catchy it stuck in my head for days.. lol like someone said it's misled 2!! but betterIncredible - both sound really good together!, and after watching the making of, this is one of those songs that's perfect for olympics or those big gamesWAAF - Celine may not fit singing this song (cause of her life) but she captured the magic of this song, that the original didn't haveBreakaway - one of my favourite from the album, i've listen to the demo and Ivy's version, both r good, already like the song from both versions but Celine's version is just WOWSYS - what can i say... the preview on amazon doesn't really do much.. lol, when i hear the song 1st time i feel that it's kind of song that Celine won't record cause it's not her, but then her voice on this is just really good and catchy too i wonder how the one with rap would sound!DKL - mmm have to say i didn't like the ending of the song that much, cause it's not as strong as i thought it would be.. but after few listen wow this song is something! the emotion in this song is wow and the meaning of the song too!!!!TY- nice song by Ne-Yo, not my favourite song from the album but it has already grow in me..!!! and the meaningful lyrics!!Overjoyed - love this new fresh version than the Vegas version!! I think it might probably put in the wrong place of the album maybe after thankful or soA17 - nice personal song to Celine, love the melody! have to say Babyface did really good on thisABYG - very person again after listen to the lyrics, i know why this song has a special place in Celine, and it's emotional too!Unfinished song - nice updated version! already like the movie version so yeahHDYKTMP - her voice sounds really clear and gold here, but i kinda prefer the duet version, there's 1 or 2 part in this song that i don't like muchLullaby - emotional, ever since i saw Song for Marian, it gave this song another meaning to me...!! so listen to the studio version it's something! and it's a nice ending to the album! OA - still waiting to hear this!! i'll probably give this album 8 or 9 out of 10!! Edited November 2, 2013 at 04:04 AM by celinefanonline 2 Quote Courage don't you dare fail me now!

It's like they were afraid to fully commit to an updated sound. When you here of people being "disappointed", you can at least understand why they chose to include them. Good music is timeless and never becomes obsolete. Let me tell you, today's euro style computerized arrangements will sound just as outdated in the future as much of the 80's upbeat songs now. But Michael Jackson's Thriller or Bad, for example, they still don't sound awkward today. As is with all good melodies and harmonious arrangements. Mozart's, Strauss's or Rachmaninov's best compositions still sound just as good today as centuries ago. Beautiful love songs, with good arrangements, are stayers. People today still love Arthur's Theme from 1981. Or 'Music' by John Miles from 1975. Good ballads have the wonderful quality of being timess. As do ingenious up-tempo's like 'Wanna Be Starting Something' for example. An artist don't need to continuously change his/her style, that's rubbish. What if Van Gogh had started painting differently, can you imagine? And Rembrandt threw the Nightwatch away, and painted something else, because people said it was going out of style. An artist that evolves doesn't abandon his style - and start to copy other artists -, he/she enriches it. Now, Celine is known because of her voice and unique singing style combined with her music style. Without it, she is just another singer, really. So stick with it. Do something suprising now and then, OK, very good, but, just like the well-known preverb: "if it's good, stick with the recipe" Only play with it once in a while, add some new spices now and then, but never change the foundation. I feel this album is full of Love Is All We Need's. That's how I see it. The nice thing about an album is, it is a collection. So if you want to combine her style with some of today's styles, then that's great. But they didn't. What they did with the covers: they ruined them. They tried so hard to make them sound 'new'. If you do a cover, make it better than the original, or don't do it at all. Celine's ABM is an example of a good cover. They sticked with the recipe, the foundation, and added some new spices. So I agree with a lot of you saying they should have left them out. Quote
Macaronie Posted November 2, 2013 at 10:17 AM Posted November 2, 2013 at 10:17 AM I'm not good in writing reviews. But I was bored at work too so I gave it a go. Loved Me Back to Life - 9/10Best single she has ever released. Most current single I’ve heard from her. No an over-the-top upbeat song, but a lovely mid-tempo one with a great beat. Her vocals are roaring but clearly with a little help. That takes 0.5 points off. And live she is just sucking eggs with it! And as many said before, it’s very repetitive at one point which makes it almost a song I’d skip. Almost. Somebody Loves Somebody – 7.5/10I was scared at first it would turn out to be the next Treat Her Like A Lady or Love Is All We Need . But thank god it proved me wrong. I like it, I love the vinyl sound they added to it, reminds me of ‘In His Touch’. The only thing is that it is clearly a Euro Pop song, it could do easily on the ESC and actually win. Plus it doesn’t sound that original either. However, it fits the album (concept?) in my opinion. Incredible - 6/10As catchy at it is, I am lukewarm about this. I think the voices are blending well together, NeYo never sounded better. At the end Celine turns a bit too shouty for my liking. And there is not much lyrics in it, which makes it again repetitive with the ooh’s and the chorus. Musically it sounds current and it might have a change to do well. Water and a Flame – 9.5/10My favourite at the moment. I had mixed feelings before as I knew the original and liked the song by Daniel and Adele. Celine doing this solo and without the experience that you need to have was a bit worrying. But man alive she pulled it off for me. It’s like three parts put together in one song. The chorus is stuck in my head ever since I heard her version. The much debated ‘Granny Voice’ is not annoying me at all and I think it fits perfectly in this song. And then the freaking bridge, It soars. It roars. So much emotion in that (nearly) raw note. Just pure perfection to me. Also, the music is like an orgasm, so much going on there. I wish we had an instrumental of this song. Breakaway - 9/10I adore the way she uses her voice here. She sounds vulnerable and rocky at the same time. The lyrics are amazeballs and it is again one of her most current songs she’s ever done. But the beat reminds me so much of the Phil Spector produced ‘Be My Baby’ by The Ronettes. So it’s a mix of vintage music with a current sound which blends well together. Almost perfection, her voice takes you places you haven’t been before, but again a tiny bit too shouty at the end. All I can say is: ‘’Go and lay my baddeh down’’. Save Your Soul – 8/10Like it a lot! It takes me back to the Unison era and I love how she keeps her voice thin. A bit weird lyrics here and there, but I guess that’s just me. Like everyone else it could be one of Maroon 5’s new songs, which works well. Not so keen on the Oh’s and Hey’s towards the end. Also, it doesn’t go anywhere which makes it a tiny bit bland. Didn’t Know Love – 9.5/10More perfection. The piano in the beginning is so haunting it just makes me want to drive off a cliff. I love that she tried to use less vibrato(rs) and it sounds just amazing. Like ‘Water and a Flame’ it sounds like three parts and again they blend in so well. And unlike normally, she would’ve gone over the top during the bridge, but thank god she didn’t. Again the music is genius. Thus Egg Head knows what he is doing. I want more. Very unexpected and I love it. Thank You – 9/10Now, I do get why people say it’s a filler and how it doesn’t go anywhere and how boring it is. I don’t care. I freaking love it. Her voice sounds amazing and this is what I wanted to hear ever since I heard ‘Attendre’. I cannot stop playing this and it fits the album (concept?) perfectly. Lyrically it’s a gem. Overjoyed – 0.5/10I hate his voice. I dislike her voice. They sound shite together and I hate the Disney-esque beginning and it does NOT fit the album or song at all. They should’ve released it as a Japanese bonus track. I get she is excited that they have a duet together, but it just doesn’t make sense. Dislike to the max. Thankful – 8.5/10I just start straight away with the so-called ‘Rainbow Bridge’. Beyond amazing. I wish the second line was the same as the first, but it gives me chills down my spine. Yes I have one. But I wish there was more of the choir thingy going on, a longer ending. The rest is just OK. The chorus reminds my friend of ‘Don’t Save It All for Christmas Day’. She’s so right. At Seventeen – 7/10As much as I love this song and her rendition, it just doesn’t fit on the album. It’s too many Latin vibes for me and they should’ve stripped it down. To me it’s over-produced, like ‘Overjoyed’, but in a very bad way. Too bad, coz I still love this song to pieces Always Be Your Girl 6.5 /10When I first heard it, I didn’t like it as much as the SCF’s were. I still don’t love it, it’s ok. Her voice sounds good though, but it’s quite forgettable. Plus the chorus sounds nearly the same as Vivian Green’s ‘Beautiful’. Disappointing. However it sounds like ‘Miracle’, I disagree that it belongs on there. It’s way better than most ‘Miracle’ songs. And at first me and my Chicken thought she sang ‘breasts’ instead of ‘prayers’. Very disturbing. Unfinished Song - 8/10Great renewed version. Sounds very current and after ‘Thank You’ this is what I was waiting for. I love the somewhat uplifting lyrics and her voice sounds fab. Thankfully it doesn’t sound 90s anymore, but the vibe is still there which makes me love it more. One thing I am missing is the ‘hey, hey, hey’ at the ending. I love me some outro’s and they missed the mark here. How Do You Keep The Music Playing - 10/10Best song on the album. Best voice I have heard in years, and once the drum joins in it makes it almost an R'n'B song. I cannot stop playing this song and I wish the other ballads on the second half on the album were the same. Nothing more to say than L-O-V-E. Lullabye - 7/10I admit I was scared I would fall asleep as I did when I saw it on Oprah years ago. But I like it. It has this spooky kinda drum roll in it at some point which makes it enjoyable to listen to. Perfect song to end an album with. And her voice sounds so soothing; I wish she could sound like this on every ‘Miracle’ song! Overall 7.5/10Overall I have mixed feelings, obviously. I think the first half is amazing. Almost perfect and very current sounding. Up to ‘Overjoyed’. They let the album drop in a pile of shite and it’s just annoying. They promised us so much, and it still sounds like a half current, half Vegas. ‘Thankful’ fits in, still, and ‘Unfinished Songs’, ‘Always Be Your Girl’ and ‘How Do You Keep the Music Playing’ as well. The rest is just useless. They could’ve done so much with this and it would’ve been amazing. But I fear I will skip the half after I am done playing the album to death, and most likely delete ‘Overjoyed’. She’s gone nuts this time. Or they did, I guess. They should never ask Babyface again to produce her songs. Please. And as much as I like Tricky Stewart other productions, he totally missed the mark on ‘Overjoyed’. But I guess she can’t please everyone and she adds songs to fill and to please her older fans as well. I totes get it, but it just doesn’t work for me. We need more Sia and Egg White.My opinion most likely changes after 3 months... 5 Quote

Modesta Posted November 2, 2013 at 10:40 AM Posted November 2, 2013 at 10:40 AM Always Be Your Girl 6.5 /10 And at first me and my Chicken thought she sang ‘breasts’ instead of ‘prayers’. Very disturbing. I heard breasts too I had to go and read the lyrics, I just couldnt hear it correctly, no matter how hard I tried And there were a few other weird pronunciations on the album... Like LMBTL "I wished that I could disappear" -- I clearly hear whizzed Quote
gafsa Posted November 2, 2013 at 12:37 PM Posted November 2, 2013 at 12:37 PM I don't think she should stick with her old style. I mean if she want to change her style why not, it's her career anyway the most important is she enjoy what she's doing. And i don't think this album sound really modern in a whole package, we still have Thankful, ABYG, at 17. She's not make an album lake Katty or Gaga which i think 10 years later would be soind old and not cool anymore. I'm not saying that this album is really good or the best or bad because sometime it's just a matter of taste. What i am trying to say is she should not always make a song that would be classic in the future. Quote

Frozen_Phoenix Posted November 2, 2013 at 06:02 PM Posted November 2, 2013 at 06:02 PM Hmmm I really don't know. Somehow I can't share the enthusiasm of most of you guys... I really want to love the album but after the first listen (and really only the first listen) I don't. I really like the first three tracks, Breakaway and then it get's thinner and thinner. An unexpected highlight I already love is doubtlessly "Always Be Your Girl", it's fantastic. "Thankful" doesn't do it for me. Neither do I think it would have fit "Falling Into You" nor do I think I comes even close to "I Surrender". To me it feels a bit "boring".I somehow miss the edginess of "Taking Chances"... the rock elements. I immidiately fell in love with "Alone" and "Fade Away", they were and still are fantastic songs. And then those horribly, horribly boring songs.God, how can she even stand singing all those stale news like "At 17" or "Overjoyed" let alone those useless bonus tracks.? I really hope the album will grow on me, as it will probably be the last one for the coming 8 years.... By the way: I really think Cher's new album is a million times better, the whole concept behind it is better. She worked together with Pink, she has fantastic ballads and real dance tracks. I don't know but to me it's the much better album and I have to compare them because I was so looking forward to these two albums by the two singers I love the most. 3 Quote Et la vie glisse sur l'eau du tempsLa vie resiste, prend son elanPour un baiser elle peut se poserLe temps qui compte est toujours compte http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f248/ARMOIT/celinechances-1.png

LukeD Posted November 3, 2013 at 12:10 AM Posted November 3, 2013 at 12:10 AM (edited) Nice! Put 'Water and a flame' right after 'Somebody loves somebody' and before 'Breakaway' since they are all break-up songs. I don't like it after 'Thankful'. I had made a similar list yesterday trying to include every song and I had 'Always be your girl' paired with 'Lullaby (Goodnight my angel)' just like you did. And 'How do you keep the music playing' is great after 'Didn't know love'. It's like she found love in one track and tries to keep it alive in the song that follows!

CelineDionForeverNY Posted November 3, 2013 at 04:47 AM Posted November 3, 2013 at 04:47 AM (edited) Loved Me Back to Life - When we first heard this song in July, we knew that this album would be great with this song alone. Though there are other songs on the album that surpass it, it still stands as a great title track and one of the best first singles since ANDHC. Somebody Loves Somebody - It's catchy and modern, while keeping Euro-pop and has the slight Celine accent, making it sound all the catchier and better. Strong follow-up to the first song, unlike OH and TC. Incredible - The lyrics are repetitive, yes, but it's a beautiful song, in my opinion. Her vocals sound amazing in this track and blend very well with Ne-Yo's. Water and a Flame - Even with the controversy about this song, I still like the preview that we heard from Katie and this just proves that it should stay on the album. I think the use of the raspier vocals work perfectly with the lyrics and meanings, and the bridge just sounds amazing. Breakaway - The "I Surrender" of this album. Her vocals sound amazing, lyrics are meaningful, nothing wrong with this track. If this doesn't become a single, I don't know what will. Save Your Soul - This sounds a lot to me like something that popped out of Unison and went through a transformation with modern day music. It certainly surpasses the boring LCMM and RDMH medley that we've been getting for the last ten years. I think the rap version surpasses the album version, solely due to the fact that rap is more popular among the younger audiences today, and anything can help Celine reach younger audiences. Didn't Know Love - Just the introduction to this song is enough, adding the subdued vocals and raw emotions that she brings out in this song, this is just an amazing ballad. I love the lyrics, the instrumentation is brilliant, her vocals, with her falsettos in the bridge and dragging out of notes, sound great. Thank You - The lyrics are what gets to me for this song, somebody being thankful for everything this one person did, perhaps the only happiness this person has had, and expresses it through the simple words of "Thank you." Overjoyed - I would rather hear either of the bonus tracks in here than this boring song. I really find nothing appealing besides the introduction, which doesn't even fit on this album. At least they tried to do something to try to make it sound better. Thankful - Another power ballad that showcases Celine's vocals, along with the choir at the end of the song. The ending is the best part for me, the choir is strong, Celine's voice is strong, and the lyrics do have meaning to them. This could have been a song from LTAL or FIY, resembling Call the Man. At Seventeen - I like the instrumentation in between the second and third sections. It's just average to me, but I do like the song. Always Be Your Girl - A personal song to Celine, I find the song touching and emotional. Very Miracle-like lyrics, but too strong to belong on Miracle. The chorus is catchy and I've always been humming it. The chorus sounds like Ain't Gonna Look the Other Way to me. Unfinished Songs - I like the changes from the soundtrack version, though I didn't really have a problem with the soundtrack version to start with. I like the lyrics, which are meaningful, and it sounds like they refined some of the notes at the end. How Do You Keep the Music Playing - I adore the instrumentation of this version. It's slightly R&B and classy, and Celine's vocals sound amazing in this track. I love the ending as well, just going down and up with the notes. I just enjoy this song like I do At Seventeen. Lullabye - Right at the beginning, I liked what I was hearing. The instrumentation is beautiful and Celine's vocals are emotional and soft. Beautiful way to end off the deluxe edition, in my opinion.
