I wasn’t much of a fan of Celine’s until I accompanied a friend to one of her concerts about 20 years ago. It was absolutely mind blowing how great of an artist and performer she is. If you ever get a chance to see her in concert, go!
Your absolutely right I saw Celine 23 times and I always said that you never really get and ear the pure monstrous powerful voice of Céline Dion it’s always always better seeing live Celine the video is good but live she always she always sings it better by improvising on her hits to make it more fresh 🥰👌
I went 7 times.. i went to her first tour of her carreer.. she was maby 16 or 17.. she sang then in english without understand a word.. but what an incredible..emotionnal performer and beautifull artist
@@SCoulombe je l’es vue à cette âge aussi disons que c’était exceptionnel à 16 où 17 d’avoir une telle dextérité vocale comme elle avait a cette âge effectivement
I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) and It's All Coming Back to Me Now were both written by Jim Steinman and are without question musical moments in history! 💯
Its the way to emote through her voice that makes her the artist she is.... many can sing their lungs off, but not many can grab you by your soul like Céline does.
Jim Steinmann, was the genius behind the magic..Meatloaf,Celine,Bonnie Tyler,Air Supply and even Barry Manilow had hits with his compositions...RIP JIM...LEGEND 👍👍👍
Celine can do no wrong! She has so many gems 💎 Flying on my own, Fade away, Water from the moon, One heart and my fave written by Sia and backing vocals by Sia called Lying down 👌👌👌 chilling!!!!
This song is one of my all time favorites, and it was actually originally written for Meatloaf by the same person who wrote the other song you just reacted to the other day, so you’re not imagining things hearing the similarities. He didn’t record his version until after this became a hit for Celine though.
Steinman & Meatloaf argued over this song. Meat said it was written for him & intended for Bat II. Steinman said it wasn't written for Meat & he'd always intended it for a woman (& IF I recall correctly, Steinman took legal steps to stop Meat from recording it). Steinman then put a group together (Pandora's Box), just for 1 album, & released the original in 1989. The group included Steinman, Ellen Foley, Elaine Caswell, Todd Rundgren, Rory Dodd & others. I'm assuming, after 2 "female versions", Steinman finally relented, since Meat recorded it in 2006 (I favor his duet version).
@@wnsafford1854 yes that’s what I heard as well. Personally I don’t like Meat Loaf’s version as I don’t think it works as a duet and I just don’t get the same emotion as I do from Celine. That’s my personal opinion and I’m not saying that you are wrong just don’t think his version is as good. But yeah that’s the story behind the song and I’m so glad you told it so well!
Great reaction!! I so love her. I can highly and strongly recommend a reaction to "Love you more" live in Memphis. That performance is simply beautiful.
All By Myself Live from Boston will blow you away. Celine is the REAL deal. Greatest living vocal artist. She's just as good live as recorded. I heard her raw vocals live at David Foster's house (her producer) and she is as good sitting in a room with you as the record. Icon. Legend.
Your love of Céline is amazing. You'd love "The Power of Love," "My Heart Will Go On," "To Love Me More" and "River Deep Mountain High" live from "A New Day" in Vegas.
The song structure (pacing), arrangement, and lyrics are what stand out in this song. Jim Steinman was a genius at taking you on an emotional ride. Celine was an excellent muse for this song (her best). While the video may remind you of other videos produced for Meatloaf and Bonnie Tyler, Simon Archer (cinematographer) and Jaromir Svarc (art director) really did an outstanding job melding the music and video into one. Your body language @9:51 said it all (rollercoaster ride of emotions as the ride slowly comes to an end - endorphin rush via video). Celine Dionne and Sarah Brightman are very good at taking a song and embracing it emotionally with artistic restraint. Jim Steinman (writer) was a master at tempo changes (stepping down for effect) and very elaborate bridges (Read Em and Weep) that smoothly bring you to a glide to eventually a solid coda. What you are reacting to is a writer with formal music training and experience leveraging standard song structure at an advanced level. Most power ballads are written by artists with a sound music background / training.
My fave song isn’t a well known one and she’s never performed it live but it has a video and is a beautiful song, “then you look at me” it was the song for the film bicentennial man. It’s beautiful
I love your Celine reactions! I would like to add that some of her best music is her French discography. I don’t even speak French and I’m in love with her French music. If I were to recommend a song to wet your appetite to her french music I would recommend Blues du businessman live in Paris 1995. Read the lyrics in English first to understand the song. Then watch the video. I would LOVE to see your reaction. Her performance there is very powerful. Thank you for your reaction videos! :)
Yes! It's a shame that many are not familiar with her French discography. I'm from the same province as Céline in Canada and here in Québec she's huge for mainly her music in French!
This was a massive massive hit. And from then forward......non stop. And man she is a powerhouse. I cannot find anything she has done that is not beyond amazing.
Celine cut her feet while filming this video, because of the glass etc on the ground. She never said anything to anyone. She still carried on over several days filming this. Celine is the best version of a DIVA!! Jim Steinman was a genius. His videos were mini movies. His power ballads were massive! Meatloaf was not happy Celine getting this song! You're right, Celine is theatrical. She's a performer in the true sense. There are a lot of amazing singers out there who can belt and hit the notes Celine can hit. But it doesn't always feel the same way. There's no humour, or drama, or emotion. That's why she is one of the best selling singers in history. That's why people still listen to her, and go to her concerts.
i request you to react to this legendary songs by the iconic Céline Dion : * Because You Loved Me * Think Twice * the power of love * I Want You To Need Me * Water from the Moon * Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) * Immortality * Have You Ever Been In Love I love your reaction to my queen...waiting for more Celine
Been lucky to see her a few times every time she comes to the UK. My favourite was her lets talk about love tour at the old Wembley stadium I believe around 60k people attended that night. Also every time you do a celine song brings me alot of joy
You should do more of her live performances... try reacting to celine Dion can sing everything... you'll really see character and color, emotion and exemplary delivery...
Funny story … Jim Steinmen was brought in to produce Def Leppard’s album Hysteria…..it did not go well lol. He was replaced by Mutt Lange (ex husband of Shania Twain)
I’m surprised you haven’t done the only living voice better than Celine’s (she agrees), especially since they have an amazing duet. Tell Him by Barbara Streisand & Celine Dion.
Wonderful song!Celine is an incredible artist ,who can belt out the ballads and give you the chills.You`re right ,when you find music that moves you ,it`s very special.Music conveys so many emotions ,and when the singers are as good as Adele and Celine ,they`re on another level.One of her first singles "Think Twice" is definitely worth a listen..equally as good.
I just stumbled across your channel and I have not been disappointed. I have just soent the last hour watching your videos and I absolutely love your enthusiasm for Celine Dion. I have been in LOVE with Celine for 30 years. I have one of her french albums and I don't even speak french 😅❤ She is an absolute legend
Meat Loaf had wanted to record the song for years, but Jim Steinman saw it as a "woman's song". Steinman won a court movement preventing Meat Loaf from recording it. Girl group 'Pandora's Box' went on to record it 7 years before this version by Celine.
I absolutely love your reactions to Celine Dion’s songs! I would love for you to react to Celine Dion singing my heart will go on at the 2017 billboard music awards :) such a beautiful stunning performance!! She got a standing ovation which is obviously not surprising at all…
Hehe this song was originally recorded by Pandora's Box. You could check out something more recent from her like Courage or Imperfections. Or if you would like to go back even further back in time you can check out "if you asked me to" or even her first english single " where does my heart beat now". Talking about Meat Loaf, Céline also recorded another ML song named "it's nothing sacred"
Music videos in the 1990s were amazing. Madonna “ take a bow” Sinead OConnor “ nothing compares to you”. Guns N Roses “November Rain” Madonna “Vogue” Nirnana “ Smells like teen spirit” Van Halen “right now” Eminem “ my name is” Janet Jackson “ again” All incredible music videos
Celine has an extraordinary range and can perform pretty much any genre. She's truly an amazing performer and is just as good if not better in live performances. Everyone I know who doesn't care for her music and has seen her live shows are sold on her.
I found you through your Avril Lavigne videos which made me subscribe. Celine is absolutely amazing and completely unmatched vocally. If you love her in English you'll love her is french/quebecos French. I'm Scottish I don't speak a word of French but God I love her deux album from 93 I think, it's so many genres and shows her talent in a totally different way. I'm about to watch the Alanis Morisette reaction I swear there's something about Canadians that they just can this really beautiful unique sound to their voice that I notice time and time again. Loving the content.
It's awesome that you say that so fast about it reminding you of Meatloaf because the guy who wrote this (Jim Steinman) also wrote Meatloafs songs! In fact Meatloaf has a version of this song that he did as well but of course Celine kills it! It's amazing!
There’s elements of both Meatloaf’s I’d Do Anything For Love and Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse Of The Heart (when she’s running through the hallways, with the wind), which funnily enough Jim Steinman both wrote. Jim Steinman had a talent for writing incredible and dynamic songs from the 80’s and 90’s. RIP Jim Steinman and Meatloaf.
So good to see younger people reacting to (and enjoying) songs I grew up listening to. (Oh, I loved when you searched for the credits of this song and found the "Falling Into You" album. I used to have this CD, but my dad damaged it.) In 1999 Celine Dion released her compilation "All The Way... A Decade of Song (and Video)" and this video had both versions included on the DVD - which is gold. It is funny when I remember this TV special (back in the 90s) where Celine said "It's All Coming Back To Me" had been the biggest song she had ever recorded and some time later she recorded the main song from Titanic. I don't know whether you have reacted to any of her live performances or not, but be sure to react to "The Power of Love (Live in Memphis, 1997)". The whole concert is awesome by the way. Thanks for sharing your videos here.
Jim Steinman’s songs average over 6:30 and they’re brilliant! He was a genius…as are the talents he worked closely with like Meatloaf, Celine and Bonnie Tyler. Masterpieces!
This song was originally recorded in 1989 by Elaine Caswell for the Pandora's Box collective, consisting of songwriter Jim Steinman and a few female session singers.
Interesting that you mentioned it reminded you of Meatloaf. I looked up the song last night and the writer, Jim Steinman, repeatedly turned Meatloaf down when he requested to record it saying it was meant to be sung by a woman. The song was inspired by "Wuthering Heights". Also, if you're interested, meatloaf did eventually do a version of this song in 2006
Jim Steinmsn wrote this and Meat Loafs songs as well as "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler, "Making Love Out of Nothing st All" by Air Supply, and "Read 'Em and Weep" by Barry Manilow"
It is impossible to love everything. I myself would not be able to do reactions because 90% of all songs i dont even like. And to sit and listen to a song you dont really like destroys alot. Great reactions Anton! Music is for everyone, just the songs that is not for everyone.
Try Célines version of I can't help falling in love '93, only one road live from tonight show '94, and calling you live in Paris '95...her diversity is incredible...power, emotion, she has it all. And for upbeat...I'm alive from david letterman...all are live, which is even more incredible
Just the other day I said you could react to this since I was sure you'd like it, and now I hear someone requested it in Patreon so thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)
Jim Steinman is the writer to both this and most of Meat Loafs songs. It is the yo yo effect of writing. Pull you in, push you away type thing. Jim died not too long ago. He was also the piano player on most of Meats songs and this one too. He also wrote for Air Supply!!
Hi Anton. I LOVE your reactions! Since You’ve loved all the Celine Dion songs you´ve reacted to, I thought you would truly love this walk through her career: All By Myself (live at the Grammies) > I Drove All Night > The Prayer (with Andrea Bocelli) > Because You Loved Me > Taking Chances > The Power Of Love > Seduces Me > Then You Look At Me (ultimate fan favorite) > That´s Just The Woman In Me (Celine in Janis Joplin mode) > Immortality (with the Bee Gees) > I Surrender > River Deep Mountain High (live versión, Tina Turner cover) > To Love You More > Falling Into You > Beauty And The Beast > Surprise Surprise > The Reason (with Carole King) > Call The Man (live)> Think Twice (greatest hit in the UK) > Courage > Loved Me Back To Life (written by Sia) > The Hard Way > The Colour Of My Love (her wedding song) > Lying Down (Sia and David Guetta) > My Love (live) > Imperfections > Breakaway. Believe me, you would reeeeally enjoy it! Keep rocking!
The late great Jim Steinman who wrote all of Meat Loafs hits! Have you reacted to Immortality official clip with the Bee Gees...of course, written by the brothers Gibb!
This reminds you of Meatloaf because it was originally written for him by the late musical genius Jim Steinman - the same guy who wrote "Anything For Love" and a host of other fantastic Meatloaf tracks - not to mention "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Bonnie Tyler and many others.
If you haven't covered "calling you" from her concert live in Paris 1995, you really are missing out. It's incredible. It's just not human and you are guaranteed goosebumps.
Talking of Meatloaf, the song you mentioned was written by the same guy as this one Jim Steinman. This was always one of her bigger songs, one that everyone remembers like My heart will go on. The intended full version is always better than the radio edit which is still 5 mins or so. This is one of the only songs really that shows a narrative to it and shows exactly what's going on like, I would do anything for love, by Steinman. This one too was originally done by Pandora's Box, and then recovered as a duet with Meatloaf. Celine's version however is always the best, the vocals and the intensity in it just melds with the song so perfectly. I've been a fan of Celine for about 30 years now and I'll always keep coming back to this song. Another song that would be great to react to or 2 if you're open to it that might not share the intensity but are still worth listening to are "I Surrender" and "To Love You More". Bu,t fantastic reaction to this song. Celine is always a great go-to for genuine song and music lovers.
Fantastic reaction and insights. Songs like this have a little bit of an antiquated sound due to production and arranging conventions of the time, but Meatloaf is a great songwriter and Celine is, of course, a legend.
Celine song and video came first it was her first big hit the songwriter thought a woman's voice would go best with the song but meatloaf wanted the song but the songwriter chose Celine Dion and sometime after Celine video and song dropped meatloaf did his version of the song
The original was in 1989, by Pandora's Box (with female lead vocals). Jim Steinman (the writer) put the group together, which included Steinman, Elaine Caswell, Ellen Foley, Todd Rundgren & others. Celine's cover was 1996 & Meatloaf's cover (a duet with Marion Raven) was 2006.
I don't know why you would think that people would be mad at you for that opinion of Celine or of this song, because most people have that opinion long before you. You are late to the party as far as feeling that Celine Dion is a legend. I don't think anyone could disagree that she is truly incredible even if they don't necessarily love this kind of music. Seriously, I don't think you are going to find a song of hers that doesn't impress you.
I absolutely LOVE this song! Celine is just... there's NO words. Noone compares. But I just recently (re) found MEATLOAFS remake... I forgot about it until someone posted it when he passed. You should check that out as well as his song HEAVEN CAN WAIT. Hits so different now that he's gone 😔 rip meatloaf!
I wasn’t much of a fan of Celine’s until I accompanied a friend to one of her concerts about 20 years ago. It was absolutely mind blowing how great of an artist and performer she is. If you ever get a chance to see her in concert, go!
Your absolutely right I saw Celine 23 times and I always said that you never really get and ear the pure monstrous powerful voice of Céline Dion it’s always always better seeing live Celine the video is good but live she always she always sings it better by improvising on her hits to make it more fresh 🥰👌
I went 7 times.. i went to her first tour of her carreer.. she was maby 16 or 17.. she sang then in english without understand a word.. but what an incredible..emotionnal performer and beautifull artist

Its the way to emote through her voice that makes her the artist she is.... many can sing their lungs off, but not many can grab you by your soul like Céline does.
Céline was honored 🎖 by 2 countries with a doctorate of music.
Dr. Céline Dion
Nobody else has this.
Aretha Franklin holds 1 as well.
I was obsessed with this song and video back in 96. Definitely one her best.
Jim Steinmann, was the genius behind the magic..Meatloaf,Celine,Bonnie Tyler,Air Supply and even Barry Manilow had hits with his compositions...RIP JIM...LEGEND 👍👍👍
Jim was the king of piano driven power ballads 🥺
And Barbra Streisand 'Left In The Dark' mid 80s
And the epic Tonight is what it means to be young from the ‘80’s film, Streets of Fire starring a young Willem Defoe
People often forget or just don't no the genius behind these songs Jim wrote excellent lyrics and matched it up with unbelievable music.👍
Barbra Streisands woman in love
I came here for the Celine Dion. I stayed as soon as I saw Sandman on the shelf.
celine dion & bee gees - immortality ...... spooky and beautiful
Absolutely incredible song. Thank you Anton for articulating everything I feel about Celine. I adore her. ❤️. She is in a class of her own.
Celine was wonderful, but Jim Steinman the writer made this song magical.
The boss Power Ballad. Such a great song and vocal performance. Your reactions are always on point too.
That's why she called the Queen of Ballad not The voice or songbird Queen of Ballad and goddess of Ballad.
If you are not standing with your hands in the air when she belts, “ BABY!!! BABY!!! BABY!!!!” You don’t have a pulse.
Well, looks like I'm dead, then. Only one of her songs gets me. And this one isn't it.
Celine can do no wrong! She has so many gems 💎 Flying on my own, Fade away, Water from the moon, One heart and my fave written by Sia and backing vocals by Sia called Lying down 👌👌👌 chilling!!!!

Céline is THE Queen of Power Ballads.
Her magnum opus!
My fave song isn’t a well known one and she’s never performed it live but it has a video and is a beautiful song, “then you look at me” it was the song for the film bicentennial man. It’s beautiful
Love that song! I saw routine on So You Think You Can Dance with it years ago and been hooked on the song since 💞
Your Celine Dion reactions are my absolute favorite, please do more!
lol you fuckin queen'd out at 5:57 HAHA. it was awesome :D good video Anton!
This song sung by Celine is my all-time favorite, it peaked at #2 on billboard Oct 26, 1996… 5 weeks at # 2
Haaaa, I knew you'd love it! You're welcome 🤣🤣🤣
This song is such a classic, it's like a whole movie

i request you to react to this legendary songs by the iconic Céline Dion :
* Because You Loved Me
* Think Twice
* the power of love
* I Want You To Need Me
* Water from the Moon
* Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)
* Immortality
* Have You Ever Been In Love
I love your reaction to my queen...waiting for more Celine
The best Céline Dion song for me. This made me a fan of hers back in 1997.
Been lucky to see her a few times every time she comes to the UK. My favourite was her lets talk about love tour at the old Wembley stadium I believe around 60k people attended that night. Also every time you do a celine song brings me alot of joy
My favorite Celine Dion song is "Because You Loved Me' written by the great Diane Warren!!
You should do more of her live performances... try reacting to celine Dion can sing everything... you'll really see character and color, emotion and exemplary delivery...
Funny story … Jim Steinmen was brought in to produce Def Leppard’s album Hysteria…..it did not go well lol. He was replaced by Mutt Lange (ex husband of Shania Twain)
I’m surprised you haven’t done the only living voice better than Celine’s (she agrees), especially since they have an amazing duet. Tell Him by Barbara Streisand & Celine Dion.
Wonderful song!Celine is an incredible artist ,who can belt out the ballads and give you the chills.You`re right ,when you find music that moves you ,it`s very special.Music conveys so many emotions ,and when the singers are as good as Adele and Celine ,they`re on another level.One of her first singles "Think Twice" is definitely worth a listen..equally as good.
I miss the good ol days, not just this song or the music but everything...
I would recommend next from celine dion "the power of love, because you loved me, and to love you more.

Talking about Meat Loaf, Céline also recorded another ML song named "it's nothing sacred"
David Foster produced it. He does most of Celine’s work and Barbara’s. He’s in the video for Tell Him & it shows the collaboration.
Next please react to Celine Dion - I Surrender (Live in Las Vegas 2007),
Music videos in the 1990s were amazing. Madonna “ take a bow” Sinead OConnor “ nothing compares to you”. Guns N Roses “November Rain” Madonna “Vogue” Nirnana “ Smells like teen spirit” Van Halen “right now” Eminem “ my name is” Janet Jackson “ again” All incredible music videos

So glad that you are reacting to the longer version of this song..
By the way, this is a remake of this song by Pandora's Box, a group Steinman created. The arrangement was identical.
I love Celine Dion but I love you voice Art Vision Reaction!
Yes!!! My favorite of her sings just so grand and ethereally romantic

Thanks for sharing your videos here.
You should try reacting to her masterpiece “My Heart Will Go On” live from Boston 🙏
Both I would do anything for love and this are written by Jim steinman . Good spot!. And great song(s)
Great reaction!🙂
Jim Steinman’s songs average over 6:30 and they’re brilliant! He was a genius…as are the talents he worked closely with like Meatloaf, Celine and Bonnie Tyler. Masterpieces!
This song was originally recorded in 1989 by Elaine Caswell for the Pandora's Box collective, consisting of songwriter Jim Steinman and a few female session singers.
Jim Steinman also wrote Meatloaf's biggest hits, including I'd Do Anything for Love.
Celine Queen ... ❤️
Meatloaf did do this song with a woman called Marion Ravn. It’s awesome!
Thanks for sharing so honestly with us Anton.
Interesting that you mentioned it reminded you of Meatloaf. I looked up the song last night and the writer, Jim Steinman, repeatedly turned Meatloaf down when he requested to record it saying it was meant to be sung by a woman. The song was inspired by "Wuthering Heights". Also, if you're interested, meatloaf did eventually do a version of this song in 2006
Jim Steinmsn wrote this and Meat Loafs songs as well as "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler, "Making Love Out of Nothing st All" by Air Supply, and "Read 'Em and Weep" by Barry Manilow"
Love this review , it an epic song.
So honest.
Great reaction video! Funny you should
mention Meat Loaf. He did a great cover of this song...
LOVE your reaction bro!! Seriously authentic!! Thank You!!!
It is impossible to love everything. I myself would not be able to do reactions because 90% of all songs i dont even like. And to sit and listen to a song you dont really like destroys alot. Great reactions Anton! Music is for everyone, just the songs that is not for everyone.
I alway cry when I listen to this song. It is so emotional and powerful.
Try Célines version of I can't help falling in love '93, only one road live from tonight show '94, and calling you live in Paris '95...her diversity is incredible...power, emotion, she has it all. And for upbeat...I'm alive from david letterman...all are live, which is even more incredible
Just the other day I said you could react to this since I was sure you'd like it, and now I hear someone requested it in Patreon so thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)
R.i.P. Jim Steinman. Thank you for the wonderful music you created.
Jim Steinman is the writer to both this and most of Meat Loafs songs. It is the yo yo effect of writing. Pull you in, push you away type thing. Jim died not too long ago. He was also the piano player on most of Meats songs and this one too. He also wrote for Air Supply!!
Hi Anton. I LOVE your reactions! Since You’ve loved all the Celine Dion songs you´ve reacted to, I thought you would truly love this walk through her career: All By Myself (live at the Grammies) > I Drove All Night > The Prayer (with Andrea Bocelli) > Because You Loved Me > Taking Chances > The Power Of Love > Seduces Me > Then You Look At Me (ultimate fan favorite) > That´s Just The Woman In Me (Celine in Janis Joplin mode) > Immortality (with the Bee Gees) > I Surrender > River Deep Mountain High (live versión, Tina Turner cover) > To Love You More > Falling Into You > Beauty And The Beast > Surprise Surprise > The Reason (with Carole King) > Call The Man (live)> Think Twice (greatest hit in the UK) > Courage > Loved Me Back To Life (written by Sia) > The Hard Way > The Colour Of My Love (her wedding song) > Lying Down (Sia and David Guetta) > My Love (live) > Imperfections > Breakaway. Believe me, you would reeeeally enjoy it! Keep rocking!
The best female vocalist of all time, idc what anyone says, ive seen her live in Vegas...as good as studio. She's actually unbelievable
The late great Jim Steinman who wrote all of Meat Loafs hits! Have you reacted to Immortality official clip with the Bee Gees...of course, written by the brothers Gibb!
You just have to say WOW. ...
You are so fucking handsome!!! That smile is so beautiful. Ugh ADORE Celine too. Idol
Wow you got youraelf a new subscriber because you do Celine Dion
If you haven’t reacted to The Power of Love or Think Twice by Celine Dion, then treat yourself and do it ^_^
This reminds you of Meatloaf because it was originally written for him by the late musical genius Jim Steinman - the same guy who wrote "Anything For Love" and a host of other fantastic Meatloaf tracks - not to mention "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Bonnie Tyler and many others.
And MEATLOAF did have his own version of this song
If you haven't covered "calling you" from her concert live in Paris 1995, you really are missing out. It's incredible. It's just not human and you are guaranteed goosebumps.
His reaction.... A TRUE FAN❤
Talking of Meatloaf, the song you mentioned was written by the same guy as this one Jim Steinman.
This was always one of her bigger songs, one that everyone remembers like My heart will go on. The intended full version is always better than the radio edit which is still 5 mins or so.
This is one of the only songs really that shows a narrative to it and shows exactly what's going on like, I would do anything for love, by Steinman.
This one too was originally done by Pandora's Box, and then recovered as a duet with Meatloaf. Celine's version however is always the best, the vocals and the intensity in it just melds with the song so perfectly.
I've been a fan of Celine for about 30 years now and I'll always keep coming back to this song.
Another song that would be great to react to or 2 if you're open to it that might not share the intensity but are still worth listening to are "I Surrender" and "To Love You More".
Bu,t fantastic reaction to this song. Celine is always a great go-to for genuine song and music lovers.
you should listen to her song MY HEART WILL GO ON. She sang it for the movie Titanic!!!
Fantastic reaction and insights. Songs like this have a little bit of an antiquated sound due to production and arranging conventions of the time, but Meatloaf is a great songwriter and Celine is, of course, a legend.
She also did a song that Meat Loaf did, you should check them both out - I Drove all Night! (Celine video) & (Meat Loaf video)
Celine song and video came first it was her first big hit the songwriter thought a woman's voice would go best with the song but meatloaf wanted the song but the songwriter chose Celine Dion and sometime after Celine video and song dropped meatloaf did his version of the song
The original was in 1989, by Pandora's Box (with female lead vocals). Jim Steinman (the writer) put the group together, which included Steinman, Elaine Caswell, Ellen Foley, Todd Rundgren & others. Celine's cover was 1996 & Meatloaf's cover (a duet with Marion Raven) was 2006.
Great reaction Anton ☺
"To Love You More" is BEAUTIFULLY written and performed!
I don't know why you would think that people would be mad at you for that opinion of Celine or of this song, because most people have that opinion long before you. You are late to the party as far as feeling that Celine Dion is a legend. I don't think anyone could disagree that she is truly incredible even if they don't necessarily love this kind of music. Seriously, I don't think you are going to find a song of hers that doesn't impress you.
I absolutely LOVE this song! Celine is just... there's NO words. Noone compares.
But I just recently (re) found MEATLOAFS remake... I forgot about it until someone posted it when he passed. You should check that out as well as his song HEAVEN CAN WAIT. Hits so different now that he's gone 😔 rip meatloaf!
