All the Way... More than a decade but Eons

All the Way... a Decade of Song is a celebration of Celine's decade of journey in terms of her career, life, so on. I noticed her sincerity from her message in the cover leaf of the album and it led me to tears when she thanked one again, Rene for all the good times they shared together as partner, couple, friend. This album is not only about Celine but this is a nice package to be given as gift to friends, special someone, parents who are celebrating their anniversaries.

Let me have a rundown and give you an impression of each song in the album:

The Power of Love. is Celine's version that I think more powerful as she exercises her vocal prowess. I heard two versions from Elaine Page and the Air Supply but certainly this is the best one in terms of rhythm, beat and style.

Beauty and the Beast is a magical duet with Peabo Bryson which immortalizes the Walt Disney Movie in my thoughts. I love the blending as they sing the chorus and this pop version is certainly one of the most popular Disney Songs that I include in my play list.

Because you Loved Me is a song written by Diane Warren. Among many songs written by one of my favorite song writers, this has one of the best lyrics to be dedicated to anyone. It begins with a relaxing tone and ends brilliantly with that line, "Because you love".

It's All Coming Back to me Now. has a long and short version, the one included in the album is the shortened version that has more electric instruments and too digital to listen. I love the long version though it takes about 5 minutes listening. Sounds like forever.

Immortality. is a collaboration with the Bee Gees, it really captures your mind from the seventies era and let's you time-travel to this space. Like what I've said in my other review, the group seemed to be more as a back-up vocals.

To Love You more. I love the violin introduction and the orchestral arrangements with this one. I would certainly love this song to be sung by Andre Bocelli with Vanessa Mae doing the violin... Imaginative!

My Heart Will Go On. is still immortal in this album, it kept me wondering why but the touch of the heart of the ocean is still here and to follow it with another song "Be the Man", is a relief from that tiring ending which sounded like an ambulance siren.

I'm your Angel is a fantastic duet with the RnB sensation R. Kelly but thought to be this ironic since the man didn't end up like one yet I like the blending and the natural fade of the song from that competing bridge.

That's the Way it is. is more like the beat of A new Day has come but it never ceases to amaze me on what level can we sing through it?

If the Walls could Talk and The first Time I ever saw your face. are two exceptionally collaborated interpretations that are somewhat related. The latter however is a revival that is given a gloomy interpretation.

Lastly, the four songs: All the Way, Then You Look at Me, I want you to need Me, and Live are the important pieces that you need to pay attention to. It provides a cinematic experience and the instrumentation are so vivid that you wished you're in an opera house.

All the way... a decade of Song is rare but the songs put together are just as appropriate for Celine's choice because this is I believe to be personal and I guess she deserves a standing ovation for such interpretations.
