"I'm not quite sure when it started but it does seem logical to me that Helene Segara would be compared with Celine Dion (Dion from Canada, Segara from France). That is to say they're both French female singers that sing with somewhat gentle music playing in the background. The problem is that's where all the similarities end.



The argument that Helene Segara is for France as Celine Dion is for Canada is also absurd in that Helene Segara is significantly more popular even now in France than Celene Dion is in Canada or the United Stated. In Paris if you turn on the radio to a rock channel, chances are you'll hear Segara. The same can't be said for Dion, sure she used to be popular but most would regard her as yesterday's news in Quebec, Canada, and the U.S.



Helene Segara is a completely different singer from Celine Dion and shouldn't be regularly compared to Dion either. Those that know Segara's works know full well that they sound drastically different as well which makes comparing them non-stop (as some people feel wont to do on Amazon) kind of ridiculous. That being said I've never much cared for Celine Dion or any other type of English or French artist that fell into that genre.



Helene Segara is different.



The music in the background isn't the standard piano playing non-sense found all too often on solo-Female singer's soft rock tracks. Instead, namely on this CD, we receive a beautiful blend of what feels like North African-like sounds with other beautiful instrumentals (LL Attend la Pluie, Elle, Tu l'Aimes, and Je Te Perdrai I believe come to mind). The music is by far on the same level as the singer: an added bonus when considering that similar tracks by similar artists have monotonous piano playing that can get overly repetitive (Helene Segara does not sound like she's in an "empty studio" when she sings, her tracks are full of life).



I won't bother giving a track listing. I consider this CD one of my favorite CDs of all time (and believe me, I listen to plenty music from all different types of genres). The songs are so enchantingly beautiful that you'll want to play the CD everyday on your drive to work or school. I have and so have many others. That said this is also one of Segara's bests, the mostly all French tracks are a delight to listen to.



It is this reviewer's hope that reviewers in the future will cease to compare Celine Dion to Helene Segara. Dion fans should note that while I don't think highly of Dion her music - being different from Segara's music - is distinct in its own right. If you're looking for a Female French singer with a beautiful voice look no further than this CD!"

Somewhat disappointed

"If you don't like Celine Dion, you probably won't like this. I really liked Helene Segara in Notre Dame de Paris, but this album is just so-so in my opinion."
