Celine's Albums

Okay, this page has changed a little bit. Here's what you have to do. All you do to get the lyrics to these albums is to click on the picture and the song lyrics will pop up in there own window. This is slightly changed from the way I previously had things. I no longer have a lyrics page for you to visit. All of the lyrics and their English translations can be done right from here. I just made it a little bit easier.

All the Way Release: November 16, 1999

This very first official English collection includes greatest hits and new songs. According to Celine, "This album reflects many of the highlights that I've enjoyed throughout my English-language recording career. The familiar songs are ones that have become the biggest favorites among the fans. Songs that people know me for...songs that recognize the past. The new songs are ones that I received this year and felt very excited about recording and including on this particular album. In a way, the new songs represent the present and future."

Songs:

Au coeur du stade Release: August 1999

Recorded at the Stade de France during Celine's concerts of June 19 and 20, 1999, in front of almost 90,000 people each night, this CD is the audio part of one of Celine's greatest concerts ever. This album is very French and reserves beautiful surprises like hearing Celine's actual voice singing some of her very first hits in French like Ce n'était qu'un rêve, D'amour ou d'amitié and Mon ami m'a quittée.

Songs:

These are Special Times Release: November 3, 1998

This album features traditional and new holiday music produced by David Foster, Bryan Adams, and Ric Wake. The album also includes a duet with R. Kelly. The cover shows a picture of Celine's face and hands touching a small gift box. She has a very romantic holiday look on her face. I think it gives the illusion of the love many people share during the Holiday season.

Songs:

S'il suffisait d'aimer Release: August 25, 1998

This album kix butter. Even if you don't understand a word of French, I recommend getting this album. You don't have to understand a word Celine is singing to pick up on the emotion of each song. Like Celine's Deux album, most of the songs on this album are written by Jean-Jacques Goldman.

Let's Talk About Love Release: November 18, 1997

Celine sinks ships with this mega award winning album! Of course you can find a few other people on this album, like Barbara Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti, Carole King and the Bee Gees! When Celine says she will not record unless she can produce an album that will be greater than the one before, she means it! Would you expect anything less from the Adult-Contemporary #1 singer of the decade: Celine Dion!?!

Songs:

The Collection 1982-1988 Release: 1997

This is a double CD, featuring the songs from two collections already released: Ne Partez pas sans moi and C'est pour vivre. Actually what it is, is those two collection albums released as this double CD set. A great collection of Celine's early music!

Songs:

C'Est pour vivre Release: 1997

This is another compilation of Celine's early songs in French. This one kix butter. Not only because it features beautiful songs from Celine, but also SIX songs that were never available on CD before: Ne me plaignez pas, Hello Mister Sam, Trois heures vingt, Trop jeune à dix-sept ans, Paul et Virginie and Benjamin.

Live à Paris Release: 1996

Recorded in october 1995 in Paris (Zenith), that album captures the tour that followed the release of the D'Eux/The French Album album. Most of the songs from her Deux album times (10 out of 12) are there, in addition to these a few big hits in English: The Power Of Love (#1 in USA) and To Love You More (#1 in Japan). The japonese success is a studio recording while all the others are live. She also does 3 songs already present on her previous live album (Celine Dion à l'Olympia): The Power Of Love, Quand on a que l'amour and Un Garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy).

Songs:

Falling into you Release: 1996

Her fourth English album. It's her biggest success in the charts worldwide, and her best-selling album. There are many cover songs on that album: It's All Coming Back To Me Now written by Jim Steinman, Falling Into You from Marie-Claire D'Ubaldo, All By Myself from Eric Carmen, River Deep, Mountain High from Phil Spector and You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman from Carole King. In addition to the cover songs, you can find on this album 3 English adaptations from D'Eux: If That's What It Takes for Pour que tu m'aimes encore, I Don't Know for Je sais pas and Fly for Vole. Many interpretations of cover songs are unbelievable! But the album also presents some new songs, including Because You Loved Me from the movie Up close and personal. That song has been Celine's biggest hit so far, it was #1 on the prestigious Billboard's Hot 100 for 6 weeks, and it really crushed the old record of 13 weeks for the Adult Contemporary chart, staying on top for 19 weeks! It's the first album to deliver 2 Top 5 songs, the second one being It's All Coming Back To Me Now.

Songs:

Gold vol. 2 Release: 1995

Second album in the Gold series, that album presents mainly the full content of Incognito (Quebecer edition) and 6 totally new songs.

Songs:

Céline Dion Gold / For you Ne partez pas sans moi / La romance Release: 1995, 1996

The Gold rush, it's simply the demand created by the D'Eux album in France and by The Colour Of My Love in the rest of the world. We can re-discover other songs from her first albums. The CD format make available songs that previously exist in the vinyl format which is almost exclusively reserved to collectors. This album has the record in the worlwide re-edition. It was distributed in 5 countries, under 4 different titles with 5 different covers! The order of the tracklist is the same for all of them, but for the Ne partez pas sans moi on which the title song comes first.

Songs:

D'eux / The French Album Release: 1995

We could write pages and pages about this historic album. But we can also limit ourselves saying that on rare occasions artists meet and create a masterpiece, and this album is really a masterpiece. Jean-Jacques Goldman and Celine rewrote the record book of French music. He wanted to write for her golden voice, she wanted to have the recognition she deserves in France; together they made the album we'll be still talking about for decades to come. There are many records established by that album: best seller (all style and languages alike) in Quebec and in France, best selling French album of all time and first French album to be certified Gold in UK! Celine told in 1996 that it was really the album of her life, that she could end her career right now, and be proud of what she has done. D'Eux was distributed in the USA as The French Album.

Céline Dion à l'Olympia Release: 1994

It's almost an obligation for every singer in French to record a Live album from the Olympia. That old theater which received Piaf, Aznavour, Holliday, Brel and so many others had to see Celine Dion. Celine finally realised her dream: singing at the Olympia. She did in that concert excellent performances from the Dion chante Plamondon album, with a few of her hits in English. She also gave herself a gift, singing two songs she really love: Calling You, from the movie Bagdad Cafe, and Elle from her album C'est pour toi in 1985. That album was recorded september 28th and 29th, 1994.

Songs:

Les Premières années Release: 1993, 1995

The French-speaking world (especially France) realised slowly the impact of the Dion phenomenon striking the world. To better bring Celine home, they grabbed some of her early material (before she signed with Sony) and made a very good compilation. That album was re-edited in 1995, when the Dion-mania really hit France.

Songs:

The Colour Of My Love Love story: Special Edition Release: 1993, 1995

That album really placed Celine among the great pop divas of the world: Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and others... some even compared Celine to Streisand! Many hits came from that album: in USA it was The Power Of Love, in UK it was Think Twice and in Japan it was To Love You More, that album also known good performances in the charts all over the world. Let's say simply that the album was 7 weeks on top of UK charts, at the same time as the single Think Twice, that's something that hasn't been seen since the Beatles, 30 years before! Also the song To Love You More was #1 in Japan, first time since 1983 (What a feeling of Irene Cara) that a non-Japanese artist was #1. The Power Of Love was Celine's first #1 in US, it kept the top of the Billboard's Hot 100 for 4 semaines. A videocassette of that tour is available.

Songs:

Celine Dion Release: 1992

Launching a second album in English at the Tonight Show, the day after the Oscars ceremony where the song Beauty And The Beast won an Oscar, that's called good timing. That album was considered as one of the best Adult Contemporary album in the previous 20 years. It traced a path for her 3rd English album, more pop, giving her the highest airplay in North-America, more than any other artist.

Songs:

Dion chante Plamondon Des mots qui sonnent Release: 1991

In fall 1991, that album presents 4 new songs (Des mots qui sonnent, Je danse dans ma tête, Quelqu'un que j'aime quelqu'un qui m'aime and L'amour existe encore) and 8 cover songs from the songwriter Luc Plamondon. It represents the attachment of Celine for her mother tongue and remind her fans that she won't neglect French for English, but that she'll be leading careers in both languages at the same time. Ziggy finally gave her a huge success in France. In Quebec, the album was certified Gold the day it was released!, another great accomplishment for her. In France, the album's title is Des mots qui sonnent.

Unison Release: 1990

A very important album for Celine's career. It was a dream come true for Celine; her dream was to sing for everyone, now that album opens her the world. The song Where Does My Heart Beat Now was a hit all over the world. She proved with that album that she could export her voice, that she feared neither the languages nor the different cultures. Celine told about that album that it was like a second career debut. With about 10 albums in French as background and all the energy of her fans supporting her since her very beginning to help her reach the highest achivements, Celine shot and scored! A videocassette is available.

Songs:

The best of / Vivre Release: 1988

After she has won the prestigious Eurovision contest with the song Ne partez pas sans moi, and because Celine's next step was to record in English, they released in Europe a Best of, featuring the winning song. It marks the end of the little girl singing and tells Europe that she's still there. In Germany, the album was known as Vivre.

Songs:

Incognito Release: 1987, 1988, 1992

Celine's first album with CBS (which became Sony), first album also with different versions from one country to another. A perfect sound, a quality production and a new look of a young woman more decided than ever to take her place in the world of the pop music. All the fears of losing her first public vanished by the only sound of her voice. Never a an album delivered so many hits. With this album, she gave her 3rd quebec tour in 5 years, including 42 consecutive shows at the Saint-Denis theater in Montreal. With her energy, her self-confidence and her huge talent, she won in 1988 the Felix award for the best scenic performance.

Les Chansons En Or Release: 1986

Only consolation for the fans in 1986, that album featuring her biggest success, including her very first song: Ce n'était qu'un rêve. In addition to these 10 hits, we find a brand new song: Fais ce que tu voudras. From that song was made the very first videoclip of Celine in French, it was taped in Germany. In this clip we see Celine with short hair, letting us guess what's coming..., but we had to wait another year to see how important the change was.

Songs:

Opération Beurre de Pinottes Peanut Butter Solution Release: 1985

Very first participation to a soundtrack. That kid movie was part of the Contes pour tous (tales for everyone) series from Rock Demers. The songs went un-noticed, but the song Listen To The Magic Man gave her the chance to make her first videoclip, in English.

Songs:

Céline Dion en concert Release: 1985

Her first live album, was recorded in may 1985 at the Place des arts concert place in Montreal, during her second Quebec tour. Celine has surprised people performing a wide variety of songs from medleys of Félix Leclerc and Michel Legrand to the hit song of 1983 What a feeling (from Irene Cara). Celine wanted things to change. We saw in her the need to explore new paths.

Songs:

C'est pour toi Release: 1985

Her last complete album with new material before her first year off. During that year, she had changed her musical style, her look and of course her recording label, joining the Sony team. That album features one of the favorites of Celine, Elle, and 2 songs from her most recent album in France: Les oiseaux du bonheur and Paul et Virginie (which became Virginie... roman d'amour.

Songs:

Les plus grands succès de Céline Dion Release: 1984

At age 16, Celine already released her first greatest hits album. We find on that album 10 of her greatest hits in the previous 3 years. Part of the profits from that album went to the research for cystic fibrosis, her niece Karine is struck by that illness. To really emphasize the good cause of that album, it was launched in a children's hospital (Sainte-Justine, in Montreal) and was sold in supermarkets so it had been easy to find for people.

Songs:

Les oiseaux du bonheur Release: 1984

Second album in France, melting once again songs from her previous quebecers albums, and 3 new songs (Paul et Virginie, Les oiseaux du bonheur and Hymne à l'amour). A new vocal recording was made for the title song of her very first album: La voix du bon Dieu. Even helped with an excellent performance as opening act for Patrick Sebastien at the Olympia, the album didn't have a big success and France had to wait 3 more years before seeing another album from Celine.

Songs:

Mélanie Release: 1984

Praised by the public and the critics, that album won the Felix award as the album of the year and the best-selling album. Her gold record in France the year before and the success of the song Une colombe, written especially for the Pope's visit, were part of that huge success. The song Melanie touched most quebecers, and it was inspired by her niece... fighting the cystic fibrosis.

Chants et contes de Noël Release: 1983

Second Christmas album, with 3 songs from her first one and three original tales written especially for the occasion, Celine had a better success with this one. In addition, she sang Brel (Un enfant) and À quatre pas d'ici, an adaptation of Eddy Marnay from The Land Of Make Believe. That song was very appreciated and re-used a few times after that.

Songs:

Du soleil au coeur Release: 1983

First album in France, it's a melt from her first albums in Quebec (exception made of her Christmas album of course). In France, it's a success as fast as in Quebec; with D'Amour ou d'amitié she became the first canadian artist to have a gold record. At this time, 500,000 copies were needed to certify gold, Celine has sold over 700,000 copies. Unfortunately, her success in France disappeared almost as fast as it happened... and she came back from the back only many years later.

Songs:

Les chemins de ma maison Release: 1983

Teamed to a tour and a special tv show, that album solidified the career of Celine in Quebec. The album was the best seller (all categories) in Quebec that year, thanks to great hits like Mon ami m'a quittée and Les chemins de ma maison. It was her second album certified platinum in Canada. At the age of 15, Celine had already sold over 250,000 albums in Quebec!

Songs:

Tellement j'ai d'amour... Release: 1982

Here comes already the album that has established Celine in Quebec. All the moms were touched by the song Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi with which Celine won in Tokyo. The song D'amour ou d'amitié was a huge hit, and even today most quebecers can hum it. With this album, Celine won her first 4 Félix awards.

Songs:

Céline Dion chante Noël Release: 1981

Certainly Celine's rarest Canadian album nowadays. Recorded at the same time as the first, it didn't have a huge success. It features classical songs for Christmas. That album would be the only album made by Celine distributed in Canada not being certified at least gold.

Songs:

This is album is also available to be viewed in English.

La voix du Bon Dieu Release: 1981

Celine's first recorded album. The very first step of a child in the showbusiness world. She had the voice to seduce Eddy Marnay, who wrote most of her first songs. Marnay even went into writing music for the title song: La voix du Bon Dieu. The words and the music are simple, but we can already hear a distinguished voice. We also find on that album the song that was sent to Rene Angelil: Ce n'était qu'un rêve... We were hearing without being fully conscient the birth of the biggest star Quebec ever had. It's also the only album on which Celine contributed to her songs.
