5.0 out of 5 stars Paint Her In Many Colors, April 27, 2001

"The Colour of My Love" by Celine Dion features a handful of highlights amid 14 (or 15) tracks that are always fun to listen to and difficult to turn off.

Standouts on the album are "The Power of Love" which became Dion's first #1 smash in the US, "Think Twice," which went to #1 in the UK, "Only One Road", "Real Emotion", "Love Doesn't Ask Why," the icy, eclectic "Refuse to Dance," the gorgeous, evocative "I Remember LA" and "Lovin' Proof."

This CD proved Dion is highly skilled at both sentimental ballads and hot dance tracks.

The only song that does not quite gell is "Next Plane Out," which even the most romantic among us would be likely to say is far too mushy, and it gets a little off track when she says "next train" all of a sudden amid the "next plane" repetitions. Is it a plane or is it a train, Celine?

One major downside to the US printing leaves out one of the other standouts, "Just Walk Away" an stark, stirring ballad, which is available in almost every other country. It is worth ordering as an import in order to get the album with it included.

This 1993 released was really Celine's breakthrough album. With more than 18 million copies sold worldwide and six million in the US, this put her on the map. The album contains five hit singles: US top 40 hits "When I Fall In Love" and "Misled" as well as the huge #1 "The Power of Love", the massive UK #1 "Think Twice" and top ten hit "Only One Road".

The Power of Love (5): the song that set the standard for Celine ballads. She sings her heart out here and means every word, and while some may feel she over-sings here, I find it very pleasant listening. Huge #1 hit!

Misled (4): A sassy, upbeat tune, Celine changes gears from the previous song, telling a lover that he's "just a page in her history". Great song!

Think Twice (4.5): Celine's big UK hit, this passionate ballad is wonderfully written and performed. For some reason, this was not a huge US hit.

Only One Road (5): One of the album's highlights, this wonderful song is another power ballad, with Celine describing how there's "only one road" to her true love.

Everybody's Talking My Baby Down (4): Another upbeat tune, Celine sings of how everyone "talks her baby down", and while the lyrics are a bit immature, it's still uplifting.

Next Plane Out (5): Penned by Diane Warren, this song describes Celine missing her lover and she's taking the "next plane out" to be with him. Great ballad.

Real Emotion (4.5): One of my fave mid-tempo songs, Celine's saying to a suitor that she needs real emotion, not material things, to be convinced that he loves her.

When I Fall In Love (4.5): Celine duets with British singer clive Griffin on this Nat King Cole standard. The updated version stills retains the romantic feeling of the original, while Celine and Clive infuse it with a new passion.

Love Doesn't Ask Why (5): Romantic song alert! If you want a Valentine's Day tune, check this one out. It's lush, passionate, and Celine turns in a beautiful vocal performance.

Refuse To Dance (5): The most surprising song on the album. As a gypsy violin rages in the background, Celine's restrained vocals paint a vivid picture.

I Remember L.A (5): The saddest, most wistful song on the album, Celine reflects on a love affair that had to end way too soon. A tear-jerker if there ever was one.

No Living Without Loving You (4.5): A bouncy pop song, Celine describes how there's no living without loving her loved one.

Loving Proof (5): A jazzy, upbeat tune, Celine performs this one well, telling her guy that it's all in the things that he does how he feels about her.

Just Walk Away (5): For the Canadian fans, here's another sad, wistful ballad, with Celine lamenting the end of a relationship and telling her guy to "just walk away". Another tear-jerker.

The Colour of My Love (5): Ends the album on a beautiful note. Dedicated to Rene, Celine sings this one with passion and restraint. A perfect wedding song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Celine's best, June 27, 2001

This review is from: Colour of My Love (Audio CD)

The album opens with the FULL version, not the hacked up radio edit, of her amazing chart-topping hit The Power of Love. That's not all for this 5-star album. Misled is my favorite off the album...a true dance song. The ballads return with Think Twice and Only One Road. Then, she goes back to funky up-tempo material with Everybody's Talking My Baby Down. Then, we have the beautiful Diane Warren penned ballad, Next Plane Out. Real Emotion bites. We go to her hit duet with Clive Griffin, When I Fall In Love, which is so beautiful. The beautiful ballads don't stop with Love Doesn't Ask Why. Then, Celine takes on a wierd dance sound with the haunting Refuse To Dance. Then, we have the beautiful ballad I Remember LA. After that, 2 Diane Warren up-tempos, No Living Without Loving You and Lovin' Proof. Finally, the album closes with the symbolic and magnificent title track. She can't go wrong with this album. If I could give it 6, I would.
