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 More from Celine Dion

 A GOOD CD July 29, 2008
Even though it is not Celine's best and I do like her love songs better, they are still,in a way, on this CD, just edgier. When I heard of her new style, I was turned off. I was so used to Celine singing love ballads. But after listening to this CD, I like all of the songs on this CD. The odds of liking all of the songs on a CD is rare, and that makes this CD a WINNER!!! Buy this, you won't be upset, but be sure to gives the songs some time, listen a couple of times, and you'll start to love the songs.

Didn't expected... but is really more than I could think it was going to be.
Celine Dion's new cd doesn't leave my car! From the beginning to the end... I'm really touched. She's still the same but more rocky... more edgy, more fited in the new millenium.
The best voice in the best packaging!
Worth every cent.

Celine Dion does it again with this CD. Entirely enjoyable and very reminiscent of One Heart. This CD could have been recorded at the same session. Unfortuneately I can't say the same about the limited DVD with this set. Was not worth the added price at all. Packageing could have been much better thought out. I know we are going green these days, but that doesn't excuse a poorly designed package that only looks nice on the outside and when you open it, you discover a CD and DVD that are hard to get in and out of the package. Don't waste your money on the combo, just get the CD alone.

Unfortunately they do not tell you that the DVD is only a preview of Live in Las Vegas which I bought at the same time!!! If I knew that I would not have bought this CD! I was looking for DVD's not a CD - beware!
