 One of Celine's Better Albums May 09, 2008
Celine Dion is one of those artists people always loathe. It's quite a shame. This album has some great songs including "When I Fall in Love" a duet with little known UK singer Clive Griffin fromSleepless In Seattle: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and the title tune written by David Foster originally for Warren Wiebe to sing at his wife's wedding. Warren sang it at Celine's wedding too. He should have cut his own version and it would have sounded much better (if he had not killed himself) "Power of Love" is another classic. I would like to see David Foster put the Warren Wiebe- Celine Dion duet "Listen to Me"
on a CD someday. Warren was Celine's favorite male singer during the nineties in fact she wanted him to sing with her on "When I Fall in
Love", just as Barbra Streisand did when she did her Johnny Mathis medley
(which Warren demoed) Warren was a better singer than Clive Griffin at least...
 My first Celine Dion Album I bought Jan 25, 2008
The Colour of my Love was the first album I bought of Celine Dion. I bought it 12 years ago. I haven't listen to it in a while until last week, and I still like the album. I have been a fan of Celine Dion for 12 years. She has got a beautiful voice. She reminds me of Barbra Striestand. Mariah Carey I like her a lot. I like Mariah and Celine. They both have beautiful voices. When I liked her, it started when she sang: Because you loved me. That is when I liked her. She has been my good inspiration.

there are moments Jun 18, 2007
There was a time when it seemed there would be no getting past Celine Dion's overwhelming voice. Vocal music would end, then and there, along with the 20th century and the millennium. No higher musical peaks worthy of scaling appeared on the horizon.
This album was a watershed in the career of a woman who sang so strongly and then appeared to disappear suddenly from the recording world. From the opening lines, 'The whispers in the morning ....', Celine put us on notice that her diminutive size in no way correlates to the sound that flows with what looks like effortless ease--artists know that it is nothing of the kind--from the skinny songstress.
Some found the highly produced quality of this cd worthy of their scorn. But in the tradition of big stage music, Celine's style is - unapologetically - just what it is. When she announced her transition to a grueling feet-on-the-ground commitment to Vegas, no one could be too surprised. She sings from the stage even when there is no stage.
It is difficult to choose the best track on this CD. Certainly 'Next Plane Out' would Compete'. Though laurels may go in the end to 'Love Doesn't Ask Why', that piece--an existential untruth but a marvelous piece of singing--would have to edge out 'I Remember L.A.':
'I remember L.A.'
Seems a lifetime ago
We were stars on Sunset Boulevard
What a move we made
There were days in the sun
That have stayed forever young
Nights when passion was invincible
We thought love would never die
There were moments in that lifetime
That my heart still replays
There were minutes, there were hours
There were days
There are moments I still love you
That same way
When I remember L.A.'
Who can not place themselves in Celine's L.A. with a lover who is now just a memory, though - in moments - a living presence? The almost imperceptible passage from 'were' to 'are' as the heart replays tells the whole story.
It is in conjuring up the colours of love, as she did with such surging prowess, that Celine carved out a place in our memory. A fine album.
Two thumbs up Feb 28, 2007
I never listened to Celine Dion's music much. I happened to check this album out from the library and had to go out and buy it after it was returned. This album has just the right mix of sad, slow love songs and up-beat ones. I would buy all of her CD's simply based on this one.
Good Cd....Love/ Romantic Ballads...... Dec 24, 2006
I am a die-hard Celine fan and yes, this cd is mostly romantic/love songs ballads but this Cd does have some variety a little pop and dance ballads (song choice is why its 4/5 stars because there could have been more variety, some of the songs sound the same*).
Yes most of the songs are sappy and that is why a lot of people don't like this cd, but love is what this cd is all about.
Just to point out a few songs on the Cd:
Refuse to Dance(a good violin ballad in background) sounds like A Madonna song, its kind of a dark deep song.
The best song is The Power of Love, Celine's vocals are amazing! It has more of a rock edge to it.
The Colour of My Love is the most romantic song and if you a romantic at heart it could make you cry (some would also find is sappy/cheesy as well).
*Think Twice(excellent guitar ballad in the background), *Next Plane Out and *Only One Road, are very romantic ballads just as *Colour of My Love. All are good.
Remember L.A. is a sad song, remembering back to a previous relationship.
Anyway, this is a good cd to add to your collection just for the Power Of Love alone (the original verison).
WARNING if you are not into sappy songs this cd isn't for you...
After listening to it for awhile it might grow on you (I first thought it was ok and then each time i listened to it I liked it better and better).
That's all for this Album..
