Absolutely agree; While many of her biggest hits are from her English career, I'd say her best work is her native language and there's a reason one why she`s the best selling francophone artist.

It's one of her biggest hit song in French, and it transcends language too as she performed it many times during her tours and residency. She also released an English version of it on Falling Into You, but the meaning of the song changed a bit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylorkat Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Let's Talk About Love is my favorite English album of hers. I love Treat Her Like a Lady and My Heart Will Go On (How can you not love that?). The artwork is also my favorite, so beautiful and classy.

I do like MHWGO but it certainly does not rank in my Top 10 ever or Top 10 English song; I do appreciate what the song did for her career. And knowing the Queen never wanted to record it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylorkat Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Falling Into You: This was the first album of hers I bought and it was on cassette! That's how long ago it was. The memories. This is the album that made me a fan. All By Myself and Make You Happy are my first favorites, I love It's All Coming Back to Me Now and Because You Loved Me. It's a solid album, probably my second favorite of hers. D'eux: I love Regarde-moi the most. S'il Suffisait D'Aimer: Dans un autre monde is the song I go back to. The Colour of My Love: What an album! The Power of Love, Misled, and Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down are my favorites there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have posted all the songs of ANDHC, easily one of my favourite English-language album. Dion Chante Plamondon - Je danse dans ma tete is a good one but nothing can beat Blues du Businessman (a classic in the French language), L'amour Existe Encore & Ziggy. But the entire album is a gem especially when she covered some of the biggest songs of his repertoire such as Oxygene and Le Monde est Stone!
