That's The Way It Is

 

Average Score : 8.79

 

Highest Voter : 11 (Regina)

Lowest Voter : 6 (Cameron)

 

This song had totally stuck in my head when it released 15 years ago..I used to watch the videoclip two or three times a day!! Celine Dion was gorgeous with that hairstyle. It's one of my favourite songs (My No.1 in 1999) and it's one of her most catchy songs!! It was written by Andreas Carlsson, Max Martin and Kristian Lundin. The latter two were the producers of the song too. I think that Celine Dion should have more collaborations with them. They had the mida's touch during that era. "That's The Way It Is" was the lead single from her greatest hits album "All The Way....A Decade Of Song". It was a big hit worldwide!! It was a Top 10 hit in Austria, Belgium (Wallonia Singles Chart), Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and U.S. It also was a Top 20 hit in Australia, Ireland and United Kingdom. "That's The Way It Is" was her first up-tempo song which had so appeal around the world.

 

Chorus : When you want it the most there's no easy way out

When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt

Don't give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that's the way it is

A New Day Has Come

 

Average Score : 8.94

 

Highest Voter : 11 (Barbariser)

Lowest Voter : 6 (Pippa)

 

What a beautiful song..A "New Day Has Come" was my favourite song that year (2002). It seems that many voters like it too! It has great production and her voice is sounded like an angel. Dave Meyers did an amazing videoclip for this song too!!!!! It was the first single (radio remix) from her sixth English-language album of the same name. There was also a piano-driven ballad in 6/8 time. It was written by Aldo Nova and Stephan Moccio. It was produced by Walter Afanasieff, Nova and Ric Wake (the latter only produced the "radio remix"). According to Celine, the song is about her son: "For me, this represents the birth of my child. Nothing can ever come close to that. But it can mean different things for anyone who has to find strength again. I think it's very positive.

It was very successful worldwide!! It was No.1 for 21 weeks on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart (although it peaked at No.22 in U.s)!!! :o It was one of her biggest hits in her country (#2). It was a Top 10 hit in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom!!! It was also a Top 20 hit in Australia, Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, New Zealand and Spain!!! Unfortunately, "A New Day Has Come" is her last successful single on the Hot 100 chart. However, "the whole package" (music, lyrics, voice, videoclip) is great!!!

 

Chorus : Let the rain come down and wash away my tears

Let it fill my soul and drown my fears

Let it shatter the walls for a new sun

A new day has come

 

 

 

A New Day Has Come my god that brings back memories I still can't believe that this was her last ever UK top 10 single my 12 years and counting will she ever have another top 10 again who knows

Looks like the top 5 will all have averages of 9 or more. That's insane :o

 

I did not expect 'A New Day Has Come' to get my 11 but it stood out so much when I re-listened to all the singles. Very pleased to see it at No. 6!

How That's The Way It Is got higher than Think Twice is beyond me, I can't even remember how it goes off the top of my head!

Taking Chances

 

Average Score : 8.94

 

Highest Voter : 11 (Cameron)

Lowest Voter : 6 (Vibe)

 

This song is the biggest surprise in this rate!!! I couldn't believe that it would be so high!! It had the same average score with "A New Day Has Come" but the latter had less 10's than the former!! I love this midtempo rock ballad and I think that it's one of her most epic songs (especially the bridge & last chorus)!! It was the lead single from her ninth English studio album of the same name. It was written by KaraDioGuardi and David A. Stewart (He was a member of Eurythmics). The latter had a guest appearace in her official video too. It was also produced by John Shanks who has produced a lot of successful albums ( "Anastacia" - Anastacia, "Hilary Duff" - Hilary Duff, "Autobiography" - Ashlee Simpson, "Breakaway" - Kelly Clarkson, "Beautiful Word" & "The Circus" - Take That etc). "Taking Chances" is not one of her most successful songs around the world and it had a moderate success in European countries. However, Celine promoted this song almost everywhere because it was a part of the Taking Chances Tour set list. It was the second highest-grossing tour by a solo artist at that time, behind Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour (US$279 million)!!!I wish she had performed in my country too.. :( It was a Top 5 hit in Belgium (Flandres Ultratip Chart), Italy and Switzerland! It was also a Top 10 hit in Canada and France. It peaked at No.40 in U.k music charts although her album has sold more than 390.000 copies there! Her live performance on X-factor is quite unique IMO.

 

 

Chorus : But what do you say to taking chances,

What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,

What do you say,

What do you say?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm backing It's All Coming Back To Me Now to Win but My Heart Will Go On will probably win though, great rate thanks

The Power of Love

 

Average Score : 8.97

 

Highest Voter : 10 (Cameron, Jay, Liam, Acidburn, Insomnio & Sarah)

Lowest Voter : 8 (Regina, Aphrodite, Slowdown, Piano, Aaliyah4Eva, Pippa & Vibe)

 

I remember that one of my neighbours used to listen to this song so loudly when it released. So, I knew Celine from that guy.. :P All we know that Celine is the female singer of love. She has many songs with "Love" in their titles. "The Power of Love" is one of her most popular songs and it was her first successful single worldwide!! Celine covered this song twenty years ago! Jennifer Rush had a great success with this song and it was the biggest-selling single of the year in U.k (1985). However, I love the cover because Celine did a great job. Her performance was very emotional and many people started to know more things about her. It was the second (if counting "When I Fall in Love" as first) single from her album "The Colour of My Love". It was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" and an American Music Award for "Favorite Pop/Rock Single" in 1995!! "The Power of Love" was one of the biggest selling singles in many countries that year. It was No.1 in Australia, Canada and U.S!! It was also a Top 10 hit in Belgium, France, New Zealand, Sweden and U.k!! It has sold over 4 million copies worldwide as of March 2010.

 

First Chorus : 'Cause I am your lady

And you are my man

Whenever you reach for me

I'll do all that I can

 

Second Chorus : We're heading for something

Somewhere I've never been

Sometimes I am frightened

But I'm ready to learn

Of the power of love

All By Myself

 

Average Score : 9.00

 

Highest Voter : 11 (Piano)

Lowest Voter : 7 (Slowdown & Aaliyah4Eva)

 

This song was the biggest surprise for me!!! It's so high in this rate and it has a great average score!!! It seems that the majority of the voters really love this song. Eric Carmen was the first singer who sang this song in 1975 but I think that Celine's version was simply the best!!! Her vocals were flawless!! It was the fourth single from her album 'Falling into You"! It was written by Eric Carmen and Sergei Rachmaninoff. It was produced by David Foster and John Fields. There is also a spanish version of this song (Sola otra vez). It was added to the "Falling into You" Latin American/Spanish edition. "All By Myself" is one of her biggest hits woldwide!! It was a No.4 hit in Billboard!!! It was also a Top 10 hit in Belgium (Walloon Single Chart), France, Ireland and U.k!! "All by Myself" was certified gold in the U.S. (500,000), and silver in the UK (200,000) and France (165,000). Her live performance still gives me goosebumbs!!!

 

 

Chorus : All by myself

Don't wanna be

All by myself

Anymore

Which song do you believe that it will be No.1 in this rate..? My Heart Will Go On or It's All Coming Back To Me Now..? I will reveal it the next week..
Next week? Really? These results have been dragging on for nearly 2 months now.

I forget this is happening... I just want to find out the results, like Regina said, we have been waiting 2 months.

 

I love both songs, so either way I am happy.

I want It's All Coming Back To Me Now for #1, but most probably My Heart Will Go On will take the top spot
