Free Music Notes for Taking Chances
Free Music Review: The New Celine
Hit: 4 Stars
This album reflects a new Celine. If you're in love with the old Celine, you might not care for this album. If you're a die-hard fan, you'll love it all the same. Every artist must change style or die, and that's what she's doing...like it or not. There are some songs that will remind you of the old Celine style, but a lot of the tracks are quite different than what you'd expect.
This is really a CD I can listen to from start to finish.
Free Music Review: Has talent, zero originality
Hit: 1 Stars
What I can only describe this as "an older woman trying to fit young people's style" really identifies it as a sell-out attempt. Celine Dion, who is known for her glorious talent and beaming notes really fails on "Taking Chances". The songs are all generic and would better be given to the younger voices in music who have no amount of talent. Celine undersings and does not let her true talent show. Famed for incredible ballads like "My Heart Will Go On" and "Beauty & The Beast", this album contains NO hits or anything that'll leave a lasting impression or even remotely heart-touching. It seems everyone, even the great talents, are just trying to fit the standards of the world today. That's not a good thing because musical quality has taken an unexpected plunge. Instead of singers like "Kci & Jojo" and "Brian Mcknight"...we have "50 Cent" and "Lil' Bow Wow"...instead of "Aaliyah" and "Selena", we have "Rihanna" and "J-Lo"...I would've like to have thought that America had some talent left but all is proven wrong with only a very few exceptions. What is happening? Mariah Carey is going hoarse and vocally tired, Celine Dion is trying to fit in, and Whitney Houston ruined her voice by going on crack.
Not much left these days. How degrading.
Free Music Review: Celine Dion Taking Chances
Hit: 5 Stars
I love Celine Dion's style of singing. I heard the new CD had a little different style and there was a song that she always wanted to record...but never matched the rest of her other albums. I've played it over and over. It was everything I had imagined and more. She never disappoints when she sings! Free Music Review: No chances are taken here!
Hit: 1 Stars
Celine just ripped off Kelly Clarkson's and Ashlee Simpson's glossy, vanilla pop-rock style. And cover a cheesy, mainstream 80s power ballad that was already made popular again by an American Idol contestant. It would have been amazing if she had experimented with reggae, dub, punk, metal, rap, techno, folk, etc--and did it right. The only slightly risky thing she's ever done was cover AC/DC's "Shook Me All Night Long", and she ended up making a fool of herself. Free Music Review: She took chances...and lost!
Hit: 1 Stars
So VERY disappointed! Have been a Celine fan for many years but this CD doesn't allow the special beauty her voice has, to blossom forth. It is harsh, brittle and somewhat angry. The exact opposite of her musical gift. In past songs she could make powerful, spine-tingling crescendos, but she didn't sound angry about it. So sad she has become harsh as she moves through life.
Such a shame for such a talented gal!
