Editorial Review: Album Description: Brand new 14-song studio album featuring such songwriters and producers as John Shanks, Ben Moody (formerly of Evanescence), Linda Perry, and Ne-Yo. Amazon.com: Taking Chances is not without its daring moments--we'll get to those--but the first order of business in any review of this much-hyped record, on which Celine Dion is said to have slunk away from her songbird instincts in favor of embracing her inner rock & roll wild child, should be fan reassurance. Therefore: fear not. Taking Chances has its share of poignant, pretty ballads (both "A Song for You" and "Right Next to the Right One" are goosebump-raisers) and love songs (the hopeful, heartfelt title track, which unfolds into an anthemic power ballad midway through, may be the best one). As far as standard Celine fare goes, in fact, Chances is likely her strongest non-French outing since 2002's A New Day Has Come; nobody unfolds a lyric with more care or nuance. And, as the subtle "My Love" deftly proves, any early-career instincts to over-sing have gone poof along with her '90s-era, sweet-natured-kook persona. Because it's a generous 16 songs long, it may even be possible to ignore the non-Celine-like moments on Taking Chances and just enjoy the more fan-faithful tracks. But that wouldn't be any fun, would it? There are songs here--"Can't Fight the Feelin'," "Fade Away," "That's Just the Woman In Me"--that will astound diehards and make fans of those who've dissed her for more than a decade. If you didn't think the diva behind Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" had it in her to screech from the bottom of her soul, a la Janis Joplin, flip to track 15 and guess again. --Tammy La Gorce Celine Dion Photos

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not as good as the originalWhile Celine again delivers a wonderful performance, I think everyone needs to listen to the original version of 'Taking Chances' as performed by Platinum Weird. Find it on ITunes. It is amazing. Rating: - Decent Effort Derailed By Too Much FillerCeline Dion's first proper English language studio effort in over four years feels alot like her previous "comeback" effort after an extended hiatus, 2002's A NEW DAY HAS COME. Whereas that set announced her return after taking time out to start a family, TAKING CHANCES returns her to the buying public at the near-end of a five year stay at Caesar's in Las Vegas. The time away has allowed the singer(or maybe more knowingly her handlers) to take stock at the shift in musical tastes as well as current ... Read More Rating:  - Disappointing CDTaking Chances is a very disappointing CD. Celine Dion choose to go in a new direction with her music. The songs and style are geared for a new audience of younger listeners. Such a waste of an awesome talent. I played the CD once and now it just sits. Save your money. Rating:  - See the TourSaw the Taking Chances show this week...It was a great mix of "old" favorites and new songs with an global flavor...Awesome...amazing...drop everything and buy tickets NOW! Rating:  - Among the greatest letdowns I've ever listened to.I have been an off and on fan of Celine Dions for over 16 years as of writing this review and was somewhat excited about the news of Celine's then-new album entitled "Taking Chances". Though I blinked and have not heard "Miracle" as of this writing, I have enjoyed parts of if not most of her previous albums but I find it very hard to say but "Taking Chances" ultimately has wound up being among the most dissapointing releases that I've heard in quite a long time. Even the album cover looks tacky to me. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
