This is “Taking Chances”? With an adventurous, even daring array of triumphant tracks on Celine Dion’s new album, Sony couldn’t play it safer than second single choice of a cover of Heart’s “Alone.” Dion’s performance is ever-exceptional—she delivers formidable drama sans bombast—but radio hardly needs a new version of a consummate song that still plays well as catalog (46 AC outlets recently gave it spins). More important, how does this show the singer has spread her wings stylistically—the calling card of the project? Dion’s most dedicated followers were polled on celinedionforum.com and 20% agreed that “Fade Away” casts the ideal mix of reinvention and commercial appeal; they’re right. “Alone” came in ninth. If those most invested in Dion’s success believe the choice off-base, then what’s the potential to kindle “Alone” beyond the disappointing No. 6 peak of previous single “Taking Chances”?—Chuck Taylor

 

Thanks to Chuck, will be appearing on April 26 issue, & online at Billboard.com :D

thanks :D

hope the single gets high in the charts :D

Oooh very good review. I thought she would actually be negatively compared to the original because her take on it is quite low key is retrospect.

This has already done better than Eyes On Me in the UK and it hasn't been released yet (even if it is download only), things are looking quite promising.

Good review. Maybe in the future Sony will actually listen to us fans -_-

 

Things seem to be looking good in the UK at least.
