Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Despite her conspicuous absence from most media (save the tabloids) in the year 2000, the Celine Dion industry rolls on with her second repackaging job in two years. The Collector's Series Volume One culls a dozen cuts from previous U.S. releases, including "That's the Way It Is" from Dion's 1999 greatest hits CD. Two Spanish-language numbers, a previously Japan-only multilingual version of David Foster's "Be the Man (on This Night)," and a song from the 1996 Olympics opening ceremony fill out the disc. Guest appearances by Streisand ("Tell Him") and Bocelli ("The Prayer") remind us and her that, time off or no, she's still a star. Bingo--the perfect holiday gift for the Celine fan on your list. --Park Slope

5.0 out of 5 stars An exotic collection of Celine's Best from worldwide, November 5, 2000

By	"v323" (the United States) - See all my reviews

In 1999, before her retirement, Celine released her greatest hits album, "All The Way...A Decade of Song." This year, Sony Music started a brand new series of collector's albums of hits from worldwide, starting with this "The Collector's Series-Volume 1." Now, this album is comprised of lesser known hits from all over the decade long career Celine has enjoyed. I personally like this album better than All The Way, and although I have all of the songs and all of her CDs, I am more than willing to shell out money for anything by or about Celine.

The Power of The Dream-What a beautiful song! The lyrics are so inspirational and Celine's voice is accentuated in this song. Finally, 4 of Celine's lesser known songs are being recognized on this album: "The Prayer" with Andrea Bocelli, her first English hit "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," "Pour Que Tu M'Aimes Encore" a moving French song from the album D'Eux which sold over 6 million copies worldwide, and "Amar Haciendo El Amor" a Spanish language song which was available on international editions of Let's Talk About Love. If you're just being introduced to the music of Celine, I strongly recommend that you get 1999's "All The Way...A Decade of Song" (her greatest hits collection) and this album, which has a broad selection of all of her worldwide hits, including songs in 4 different languages: Spanish, French, English and Japanese.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Collector's Series Volume 1 (2000), June 21, 2004

By	Chad DeFeo "(ChandlerBingFan)" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

In 2000, Celine had already started her first of the two-year hiatus she decided to go on, so she and Renee could start a family of their own, so she could spend more time with Renee after learning of his illness, so she could see her own family more often. On October 24, 2000, Celine Dion's album, The Collector's Series Volume 1 was released, containing the hits that didn't make it onto her '99 album All The Way... A Decade Of Song. This is yet another amazing album and it's an album only Celine could put together.

THE POWER OF THE DREAM
Performed at the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. Nothing less than beautiful.

WHERE DOES MY HEART BEAT NOW
From the album Unison (1990). Where Does My Heart Beat Now was Celine's first single ever and it is one of her absolute best.

US
From the album Let's Talk About Love (1997). Not bad.

THE REASON
From the album Let's Talk About Love (1997). Not bad.

SEDUCES ME
From the album Falling Into You (1996). Okay.

WITH THIS TEAR
From the album Celine Dion (1992). Even though this was written by Prince, who I loathe with a passion, this is a beautiful song. I only credit Prince for his exellent ability to write. He is only a great lyricist.

FALLING INTO YOU
From the album Falling Into You (1996). Not bad.

POUR QUE TU M'AIMES ENCORE
From the album The French Album (1995). This is the French version of the song If That's What It Takes. The English version of If That's What It Takes can be found on the album Falling Into You (1996).

UN GARCON PAS COMME LES AUTRES (ZIGGY)
From the album Dion Chante Plamondon (1994). Okay.

BE THE MAN (ON THIS NIGHT)
Previously unreleased. Not bad.

TELL HIM (with Barbra Streisand)
From the album Let's Talk About Love (1997). From Barbra Streisand's album Higher Ground (1997). Both Celine and Barbra have beautiful voices, but when you put them together, you are guaranteed to cringe with chills. Their voices together on one song are nothing less than beautiful.

THE PRAYER (with Andrea Bocelli)
From the album These Are Special Times (1998). Beautiful song. Andrea Bocelli has an amazing voice. This is added to the "dedications" list of mine.

ALL BY MYSELF (Spanish Version)
Previously unreleased. The English version is better.

AMAR HACIENDO EL AMOR
Previously unreleased. Okay.

ONLY ONE ROAD
From the album The Colour Of My Love (1993). Not bad.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
From the album All The Way... A Decade Of Song (1999). Great song.

This is an album that everyone should own. Buy it and you'll see that you'll enjoy it.

3.0 out of 5 stars only for hard core Celine fans, February 11, 2001

By	Janelle L. Lino "soap opera lover" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was really disappointed when I read the songlist on the back of the Cd because it did not include my favorite Celine Dion songs. The only song that I really liked was "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", which was shamefully left out of "All The Way".

This CD is for the hardcore Celine Dion fan. If you want to hear her hit songs, then get "Celine Dion: All The Way".
