Celine Dion has been a super star in the Pop genre for quite some time now and Celine Dion is an excellent illustration as to why.

Celine Dion has a pleasantly varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are her own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

I’m of the opinion that Celine Dion is certainly Celine Dion’s best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Pop fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 – Introduction—-Love Can Move Mountains, track 6 – Did You Give Enough Love, and track 13 – Nothing Broken But My Heart

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is Track 4 – If You Could See Me Now. It’s a great track!
