Having seen Celine @ Ceasars in Vegas 6 times the new CD Taking Chances was a must have! While Celine puts in a very good effort this CD just doesn't seem to have any songs that could be considered a hit. While her cover of Alone and the title track are nicely done songs, I just do not feel that she really used the full range of her voice as she has done so well in the past. It seems that while the CD is called Taking Chances Celine decided to play this one safe, with nice catchy songs but none really memorable. As a huge Celine fan I did like this CD overall and Celine fans will like it, I was just expecting much more from the Greatest Singer in the World!!!!
First off, I have to admit, I've never been a huge Celine Dion fan. I have always found her personality and performance style a little quirky and un-hip, bordering on sappy to annoying. I've also never really embraced the kind of lukewarm adult contemporary genre that she seems to embody. But... I LOVE THIS CD!!!! I just can't play it enough. Of course Celine's vocals are impeccable. But Celine has also developed an edge on this one and it works for me. Okay, Celine is not angry like the Sex Pistols. She's not exploring new musical frontiers. But she does deliver a strong set of thoroughly enjoyable power ballads, managing to do so with authenticity. Celine actually comes off as very human and even a bit cool. If you're even just a bit curious, give this one a try. I'm really glad that I did!Read full review
I have been a fan of Celine Dion for like 14 years now. I have every album and have seen her in concert. This is a freely speaking Celine Dion Album that only goes along with her other meassages in other albums. Take chances and nothing is impossible. This album along with her other ones speaks of love and heartache both, but that thru it all love will find a way to your heart someday. I can tell you this much this album has some of Celine's songs as well as remakes of older music for other artist. That is why I feel this album is great to have. It is like the Las Vegas Concert in your own livingroom. I can tell you this much you will not regret buying this album or any other albums by her.
I just received this CD in the mail today and listened to it. I loved it!! The songs on the CD are awesome!! Celine Dion has worked with some new artists for new album. Ben Moody from Evanscense is one of the songwriters credited on CD, along with a few others that worked with different artists such as Christina Agulira, etc. Celine Dion is at her best on this album. This album deserves a Grammy or American Music Award for Best Female Artist or Best Album of The Year.
I can't say I'm really a huge Celine Dion fan but I recently took my Mum to one of her concerts and decided to buy myself a CD. Anyway what can I say but WOW!!! This CD is excellent! The songs are so powerful and emotional. Most are upbeat but there are a few slow ones. Anyway excellent CD!!! :-)

I like Celine in this album. New songs with a new "flip" over the old ones she used to sing, some rock and some balads that are very in style. Don't like sometime some repetitive frases and music get a little boring to listen over and over,other than that it is great!
This is in awesome condition was very satisfied for the price of it.

I love Celine Dion and have what I feel like is her best CD'S. This one she really did not sound like herself in. She changed her style and did take a chance that did not work for me. She is so blessed with her vocal cords and when she puts them to ballets and songs with depth, she can not be beat by anyone out there. She is a master of her trade and I look forward to her next CD.
I am alongtime Celine fan, but I can doubtless affirm that Taking Chances is one of her best English album! The sound of Celine is in this album more fresh, uptempo and the lyrics are good. The masterpiece of the album is the song "That's the woman in me", where...surprise....you can listen to a very Celine rock-version!
