As this 1999 Paris performance shows, Celine Dion's following is both global and bilingual: fully half of the songs in the 90-minute concert are sung in French, and they receive as loud a roar from the audience as the Québecois chanteuse's smash hits like "My Heart Will Go On." Dion's voice is a formidable instrument; it's too bad she feels compelled to press it into overuse in song after song. Much of her material lends itself to bombastic vocal treatment--"The Power of Love" and the concert opener, "Let's Talk About Love," come immediately to mind--and Dion certainly obliges, to the crowd's approving roars. It's obvious that the singer has a genuine love of performing for her fans, and that is her saving grace, even if her choice of material is not everyone's cup of tea. --Kevin Filipski

Customer Reviews

ABSOLUTLY STUNNING!!!
This DVD is without a doubt the best video I have ever bought. With songs in both French and English, Celine is radiant and beautiful in both voice and body throughout the concert. It includes some of my personal all time favourites, including: JE CROIS TOI; TO LOVE YOU MORE; ON NE CHANGE PAS; POUR QUE TU M'AIME ENCORE and what I consider to be her BEST performance ever of her classic song MY HEART WILL GO ON, which she sings in a gorgeous dress on a stage with railings so it looks like the bow of a ship. The concert alone is unbelievably breathtaking, but along with the behind the scenes videos of the recordings of both Sil Suddisait D'Aimer and Let's Talk About Love it makes it the best way to spend 3hrs and quite possibly one of the best things I have ever bought. Even if you're not an extreme fan of Celine, like me, this DVD is a must get, and can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates good music. In one word: STUNNING!!!!!!

The best Celine Dion DVD currently available
What great value for money this DVD is!. The concert is obviously the main feature here, and as great as it is, several of the songs will probably only be familiar to the more hardcore fan. I think if more songs from her two album releases (Falling into you & Let's talk about love) prior to this concert had been included, I would have definitely have given a full 5 stars. Nevertheless, what is here is still good - highlights being To love you more, Je sais pas, Pour que tu m'aimes encore, and an excellent cover of the Bee Gees classic Stayin' Alive where Celine's voice sounds remarkably similar to Barry Gibb's original vocal!. There's one bit quite early on where Celine talks to the audience in french for a good 5-10 minutes, and I think subtitles would of been nice here, as I didn't have a clue what she was saying!. The concert runs for 1hr and 52 minutes.

What makes this DVD even better though, is the inclusion of two "behind the scenes" features on the recording of two of Celine's albums. The best one is the "Let's talk about love" one which is about 56 minutes long, and is hugely enjoyable. Special guests include The Bee Gees, Barbra Streisand, Sir George Martin, and Carole King, amongst others. Watch Barry Gibb come close to tears as Celine sings (the excellent) Immortality!. Another highlight for me was seeing Celine recording the song "Us" - one of my favourites. This programme alone almost makes the DVD worth buying - and it's an "extra" on top of the main concert!. The other behind the scenes feature concentrates on the french album "S'il suffisait d'aimer". This one is entirely in french, but it's mostly singing anyway so it doesn't really matter. This programme is about 25 minutes long, and is definitely worth seeing.

A great DVD, super value for money, and probably the best of the Celine Dion DVD's currently available (July '02).

Review for Au Coeur Du Stade
I purchased this DVD a couple of months ago. This video includes alot of her popular hits (French and English) as well as backstage footage of her recording songs for the albums S'il Suffisait d'Aimer and Let's Talk About Love. I highly recommend that you buy this DVD because this one is the best out of all her videos. It is a must have for any fan!
