– The critics are getting more and more persistent…
– The public will be TANTED during the series by AMBIANT FAKE Sound on TVA Sports.
– The channel is so LOW BUDGET…
– That it does not field descriptors and analysts.

– Sounds like a WALKING SOUND SCAM.
– Just like Celine Dion in her new movie…

It’s no surprise, then, that she’s once again staying on the beaten path for Love Again, a romantic comedy that La Presse describes as “a sentimental Bluette in 50 shades of beige.”
What surprises us, however, is that we don’t find the Celine we know in the five new songs on this CD. On the song “Love Again” – as on three of the other four new songs – his vocals are so heavily distorted that he is difficult to recognize.
