Thinktwicefan: The expensive ones are imports. The UK releases are also available at much cheaper prices Edited August 28, 2016 at 10:28 AM by WendyB

[shih-tzu]

I am obsessed with this album...love more and more... I must buy also this album for my mum...

My favorite songs:

 

Encore un soir

Ma force

Les yeux au ciel

Ma faille

Toutes ces chopes

 

Listening the album again and again... this album makes me happy, makes me cry...wonderful album for me!

[Moleque20]

After listening to the album like 10-12 times, I have to say that D'elles was her last great french album. SA was awful (apart from 3-4 tracks) and this one is so mediocre. A modern album that could have been sung by any modern french artist. But this is not Celine Dion. She is a great chapter of the francophone music but she may have forgotten that. The CD-JJG collaboration was the only highlight of the album. The album is not bad, it is nice. But it is not album equivalent to Miss Dion. And she has to do something with the nasal singing and her weird accent in some songs. Edited August 28, 2016 at 10:41 AM by Moleque20

[garçon]

Garcon actually likes something Celine does?

 

Hahaha.. you may look at me as her most critical fan .. Perhaps it makes me more eager than the majority of fans to (be able to) identify Celine perfection.

anybody knows when goes to sale on fnac? Edited August 28, 2016 at 11:00 AM by celinesounds

[Alice]

Heve we discussed Celine's message?

 

 

I really like it. It's so simple, which makes it sound really personal and sincere

[IL_DINO]

Really great and complex album.

I'm enchanted.

A la plus haute Branche ... one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in recent years.

The only gap: The duo with Fred Pellerin (L'hymne) would have made the album perfectly.

GREAT ALBUM.

A rough translation:

 

______________________________________________

 

This is not an album.

It's a page of our history.

 

I will never have the same voice, but what I know today,

is that in the most difficult moments, you carried us

by your love,

giving us a hand to help us cross the bridge

of our new life.

 

All your words of support and all those new melodies

have given me back my balance, the saint fire, and most of all the willingness to see you again.

 

Let's never forget that "love still exists".

 

Thank you!

 

Celine

 

P.S. May God protect you.

There will always be those fans that hold Céline to a different standard than anyone else. I dont think it's fair to her, its your own expectations, don't pin those on her saying she doesn't care anymore. She sings what she wants to, and quite honestly, the majority of the fans that aren't so stuck up about her French music really can enjoy everything from Falling Into You-esque type songs all the way to the One Heart-esque material. You don't have to love everything she does, but that's your preference, its not up to Céline to meet your standards. Also, she is nasal on one song, but everything else is fantastic, she's sounding as good or better on some songs than ever before. I feel bad for people who only like Deux and SSDA.

Yes. But we all are entitled to share our opinions here right?

No matter what Celine voices has changed. It is natural for human that we can't deny aging. I still love Celine and glad you are still sing for us. Edited August 28, 2016 at 01:09 PM by Thanato

Very well said actually, but I was just WAITING for comments like 'this is not good, this is not Celine' to start appeparing If she does nothing, people say she keeps it low, then she appears somewhere and people say she has a belly and wrinkles and blahblahblah, then she gives us a new album and hopes we enjoy it as much as she did recording it, and fans go like 'this is not Celine'... There are people who are always unhappy and we have to understand the problem is not in Celine in such cases With some fans the line between love and hate is pretty much of a blur, you know.

Yes. But we all are entitled to share our opinions here right?

 

Sure. But I wish people were more respectful to her sometimes. Not cheesy, not praising every step she does in her career, but simply repsecting the fact that after all those years and things that happened to her we still have the chance to get NEW material. This is just my opinion

[$P!K&]

I'm trying to make a new tracklist, to se if the album flows better....

[contre5nature]

Question: But the videos of making of.... where did they came from??? At the very beginning of LYAC you can see a part of the tour, so it is a snippet of a longer video...

 

[Alice]

Not that anybody cares but here's an update to my reception of the album:

 

 

Some songs grew on me: Toutes ces choses (as expected), Ordnaire (unexpectedly) and Plus q'aillieurs.

 

The songs I loved before, now I love even more (and no I'm rhyming, too).

 

I'm totally obsessed with this album. IT GIVES ME SO MUCH JOY!!!!!

 

 

[LVCeline]

 

Yes. But we all are entitled to share our opinions here right?

 

Absolutely! I guess I mostly meant that if I only liked two albums of say, Barbra Streisand, I wouldn't go find a forum and critique everything she does while only praising two albums she did 20 years ago. I'd like to think I'd focus my time and opinion on something I enjoyed, not something that constantly disappointed me.

[Peppercorn1991]

Now I've got over how great the uptempo songs are ..... I've realised how gorgeous the slower songs are.... Loving this whole album!

I don't know what some of us are expecting with any new Celine album. Some of us want old Celine music, but that's not even possible, the quality of her voice is different, deeper. And the music offered these days has changed. And something with a modern sound doesn't mean it's not good and quality either. So any music that has a modern sound or uses modern sounds is not good enough for Celine? Even if she sounds great in them (even with a touch of auto-tune in some songs where it fits the song?) suddenly the album is bad? I think our expectations are way too high if this is how we feel. If she sings too modern people complain, if she makes an album of ballads people say its too slow and there is no fun. If she makes an album of dance, people complain. But even if she made a "similar" album to D'uex, we won't be happy. She doesn't sound the same and even if she did, we would complain it's too much like D'uex and nothing new, a repeat and not fresh. I know it, based on the way we complain (not that we complain, but the attitude about it sometimes shows some of us will NEVER be satisfied.). I love this album, I didn't love LMBTL as much as other English albums, but I appreciated it for what it was, and I still love it better than a lot of the other artists albums out there (mostly lol). I just think we need to get off our high horse and our Celine expectations. We are fans of the greatest singer of all time, and she is past her prime in a way (it's a fact of life - her voice aged, like all the greats do..), we should be happy to still be getting music, let alone beautiful, fun, solid music that some (including myself) compare to her best.

 

And one more thing to add, I get really frustrated too when people say we don't have to love everything, or that we are allowed to have an opinion. This is not about you needing to love everything or something like this. But to be overly negative because she didn't pick YOUR favorite songs, and YOUR style, singing it the way YOU think Celine should sing and then acting like she hasn't made anything great in 20 years. That's too much. I can be just as critical with her new music. But I don't need to act like it's so bad I can't stand it or make it sound like she doesn't make good music anymore (even if you don't say it, that's how you come off typically)

 

I'm sorry for this long message... I am not typically one to complain but I just felt like I should give my opinion.

I've made a topic with the translations of all the songs:

I made a funny error (9th line, "feu sacre"). The heat wave in my town + the album fever must've fried my brain.

I'm still discovering the album

 

 

but, I see the influence of Rene in the album.

 

Rene was always looking for quality in her french recordings;

 

 

The problem here is, two visions, old and fashion style with modern songs, they should have gave us balance, and create a double album 6\7 songs per CD

 

Rene - The Classic Guy

That'd be a terrible waste of resources, plus super annoying for people who are using CD players

Beyonce best selling album and her best album was a double one with 6 songs per CD

Ok, first of all Celine's french career is different from her English career, and alot of the things you are saying is in reference to her English career, when fans critisize the music: it's not fresh etc. Her french career has always been more poetic and deep, and more conceptual. This french album sounds a bit sub par and "filler-ish" to what we're used to getting. When you compare it to masterpieces like SSD and Delle's or even 1F2G? And you say say we should be happy to still be getting music, really? how so. Of course we are happy she is still recording music and we are happy to pay for it also. And Celine is as rich as can be, and we appreciate everything she puts out. But that does not mean we can't have an opinion about her latest release

[Thanato]

5 stars for this album. Classic and timeless.

I was not referencing her English career, just because it is more common that we tend to be unhappy with her English albums doesn't mean we aren't doing the same thing with her french work. We are doing it, I see it, before I could listen to the album I saw it. And I never said anyone couldn't have their opinion, I don't need people to love it either. But the way we are complaining about is like a spoiled child. There are plenty of comments that are not positive about the album but don't give this truly negative attitude about it. I have no problems with these. I completely disagree, about your opinion about the album, and I have no problem with you not liking it and feeling it is sub-par. Like I said, it's the tone, making it sound like we will never be happy. I won't say more about it, it's just my opinion on how much we are expecting. And it isn't, I will repeat, directed to people who don't like the album in general. It is directed just to those who complain with a tone that is very over-dramatic for lack of a better way to explain.

[CelineDionFreak]

After listening to the album many times, I think L'étoile is the best choice for a second single. It's upbeat, cheery, and so so happy! I love Les Yeux Au Ciel but I adore L'étoile!
