Amazon.com essential recording
"The Power of Love" was Celine Dion's first chart-topping song in America, but it was a career-defining moment in more ways than one. It established her as a dependable hitmaker and also fixed the pattern of her biggest successes to come--songs that begin with delicate melodies and spare instrumentation and build into big, powerful productions over which Dion's incomparable vocals hit stratospheric heights. Dion attempts other directions on The Colour of My Love, such as the light dance-pop of "Misled" and "Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down," but they don't ring as true as her duet with Clive Griffin in "When I Fall in Love" (from the film Sleepless in Seattle) and the title track. --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews

One Of Her Best Albums! Heck, They All Are!
I just love this album! There isn't a single thrown-in track on the entire album! Standouts on the album are "THE POWER OF LOVE" which went to #1, "THINK TWICE" which went to #1 in the UK, "ONLY ONE ROAD", "REAL EMOTION", "LOVE DOESN'T ASK WHY" "REFUSE TO DANCE" "I REMEMBER LA" and "LOVIN'PROOF" All the songs are excellent-this CD proves Celine can be excellent at both sentimental ballads and hot dance tracks. The only song I really didn't like was "NEXT PLANE OUT". I'm sure even the most romantic people would say this song was too mushy, and it gets a little "off track" when she says "next train" all of a sudden. I thought we were talking about a plane? Get it "off-track-next train-train track?" Laugh. Well, there is only one major downside, this cheap US cut leaves out one of the other standouts "JUST WALK AWAY" an amazing ballad, which is available in almost every other country but US. I might advise, try to use ... or perhaps try to specially order it to get the album with that song. I learned the hard way and have two CDs of this album. All and all, this album is excellent. It has such wonderful songs, that prove once and for all Celine is one of the best divas of the 90s and on ....

This love has a lovely color
This 1993 released was really Celine's breakthrough album. With more than 18 million copies sold worldwide and six million in the US, this put her on the map. The album contains five hit singles: US top 40 hits "When I Fall In Love" and "Misled" as well as the huge #1 "The Power of Love", the massive UK #1 "Think Twice" and top ten hit "Only One Road".

The Power of Love (5): the song that set the standard for Celine ballads. She sings her heart out here and means every word, and while some may feel she over-sings here, I find it very pleasant listening. Huge #1 hit!

Misled (4): A sassy, upbeat tune, Celine changes gears from the previous song, telling a lover that he's "just a page in her history". Great song!

Think Twice (4.5): Celine's big UK hit, this passionate ballad is wonderfully written and performed. For some reason, this was not a huge US hit.

Only One Road (5): One of the album's highlights, this wonderful song is another power ballad, with Celine describing how there's "only one road" to her true love.

Everybody's Talking My Baby Down (4): Another upbeat tune, Celine sings of how everyone "talks her baby down", and while the lyrics are a bit immature, it's still uplifting.

Next Plane Out (5): Penned by Diane Warren, this song describes Celine missing her lover and she's taking the "next plane out" to be with him. Great ballad.

Real Emotion (4.5): One of my fave mid-tempo songs, Celine's saying to a suitor that she needs real emotion, not material things, to be convinced that he loves her.

When I Fall In Love (4.5): Celine duets with British singer clive Griffin on this Nat King Cole standard. The updated version stills retains the romantic feeling of the original, while Celine and Clive infuse it with a new passion.

Love Doesn't Ask Why (5): Romantic song alert! If you want a Valentine's Day tune, check this one out. It's lush, passionate, and Celine turns in a beautiful vocal performance.

Refuse To Dance (5): The most surprising song on the album. As a gypsy violin rages in the background, Celine's restrained vocals paint a vivid picture.

I Remember L.A (5): The saddest, most wistful song on the album, Celine reflects on a love affair that had to end way too soon. A tear-jerker if there ever was one.

No Living Without Loving You (4.5): A bouncy pop song, Celine describes how there's no living without loving her loved one.

Loving Proof (5): A jazzy, upbeat tune, Celine performs this one well, telling her guy that it's all in the things that he does how he feels about her.

Just Walk Away (5): For the Canadian fans, here's another sad, wistful ballad, with Celine lamenting the end of a relationship and telling her guy to "just walk away". Another tear-jerker.

The Colour of My Love (5): Ends the album on a beautiful note. Dedicated to Rene, Celine sings this one with passion and restraint. A perfect wedding song.

Celine's best
The album opens with the FULL version, not the hacked up radio edit, of her amazing chart-topping hit The Power of Love. That's not all for this 5-star album. Misled is my favorite off the album...a true dance song. The ballads return with Think Twice and Only One Road. Then, she goes back to funky up-tempo material with Everybody's Talking My Baby Down. Then, we have the beautiful Diane Warren penned ballad, Next Plane Out. Real Emotion bites. We go to her hit duet with Clive Griffin, When I Fall In Love, which is so beautiful. The beautiful ballads don't stop with Love Doesn't Ask Why. Then, Celine takes on a wierd dance sound with the haunting Refuse To Dance. Then, we have the beautiful ballad I Remember LA. After that, 2 Diane Warren up-tempos, No Living Without Loving You and Lovin' Proof. Finally, the album closes with the symbolic and magnificent title track. She can't go wrong with this album. If I could give it 6, I would.
