Beautiful lyrics... good music... not much to talk about this song.. 3.5/5

3-Il attend la pluie (He's waiting for the rain)
Average lyrics... average song.. not her best!!! 2.5/5

4-Elle, tu l'aimes (You love her) What an amazing song!!! Music is really really really good!! Lyrics are superb her voice too!
4/5

11-Dites Moi qui je suis (tell me who I am) To be honest.. i don't especially love this song... the beat is pretty repeatitive lyrics not really touch me.. Actually i'm always skipping this song while i'm listening to the cd... it could be great.. that's life... 2/5

12-Rebelles (rebels) I love her voice on this song.. the beat (a little bite middle eastern at some place) Even though lyrics are not strong enough but a pretty good song.. 4/5

5.0 out of 5 stars Reputations Stick for the Worst! Beautifully Enchanting!, April 29, 2006

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Au Nom D'une Femme (Audio CD)

I'm not quite sure when it started but it does seem logical to me that Helene Segara would be compared with Celine Dion (Dion from Canada, Segara from France). That is to say they're both French female singers that sing with somewhat gentle music playing in the background. The problem is that's where all the similarities end.

The argument that Helene Segara is for France as Celine Dion is for Canada is also absurd in that Helene Segara is significantly more popular even now in France than Celene Dion is in Canada or the United Stated. In Paris if you turn on the radio to a rock channel, chances are you'll hear Segara. The same can't be said for Dion, sure she used to be popular but most would regard her as yesterday's news in Quebec, Canada, and the U.S.

Helene Segara is a completely different singer from Celine Dion and shouldn't be regularly compared to Dion either. Those that know Segara's works know full well that they sound drastically different as well which makes comparing them non-stop (as some people feel wont to do on Amazon) kind of ridiculous. That being said I've never much cared for Celine Dion or any other type of English or French artist that fell into that genre.

Helene Segara is different.

The music in the background isn't the standard piano playing non-sense found all too often on solo-Female singer's soft rock tracks. Instead, namely on this CD, we receive a beautiful blend of what feels like North African-like sounds with other beautiful instrumentals (LL Attend la Pluie, Elle, Tu l'Aimes, and Je Te Perdrai I believe come to mind). The music is by far on the same level as the singer: an added bonus when considering that similar tracks by similar artists have monotonous piano playing that can get overly repetitive (Helene Segara does not sound like she's in an "empty studio" when she sings, her tracks are full of life).

I won't bother giving a track listing. I consider this CD one of my favorite CDs of all time (and believe me, I listen to plenty music from all different types of genres). The songs are so enchantingly beautiful that you'll want to play the CD everyday on your drive to work or school. I have and so have many others. That said this is also one of Segara's bests, the mostly all French tracks are a delight to listen to.

It is this reviewer's hope that reviewers in the future will cease to compare Celine Dion to Helene Segara. Dion fans should note that while I don't think highly of Dion her music - being different from Segara's music - is distinct in its own right. If you're looking for a Female French singer with a beautiful voice look no further than this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Voice to die for ?, July 8, 2001

By 

LUUKKONEN TOMI (Turku, Finland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Au Nom D'une Femme (Audio CD)

Je m'appelle Tomi. That's all I can say in french. But I couldn't care less after Hélène Ségara.

These should be love songs, but I don't care. Because all that I can hear is that voice.

Voice with that something - some will find it immediately, others don't hear anything special. Voice, somewhere between glass and swiss chocolad. Both qualities included. Unbelievable voice with clarity & softness to die for. Concentrate on voice, preferably with very good speakers/headphones. After a while, music fades away - but voice stays. I would recommend "Coeur de verre" too, it has more variation...Found out why I actually like her voice so much; she's not trying to duplicate anyone...
