The clip is on her VEVO account on YouTube, acting as the official music video of the song, and has over 37 million views of as January 2019. People Magazine wrote, "When Dion sings about letting down her defenses and giving in to love on "I Surrender", it's the song that gets belted into submission." Slant Magazine critic Sal Cinqueman states that 'I Surrender' is a "power ballad only a singer with Dion's voice could pull off." Christopher Smith from TalkAboutPopMusic said that it "has much drama and theatrics, so much so that you almost begin to think the producers are really looking to shape Celine into the next Barbra Streisand rather than herself." Live performance Ĭeline Dion performs this song in her video album Live in Las Vegas: A New Day., where she is surrounded by artistic backup dancers, who visually and dramatically express the song's lyrics in a miming manner. Reception Īccording to Chuck Taylor from Billboard, "Dion does not disappoint with ballads like the rafter-shaking 'I Surrender' where she sings of forbidden love amid a firestorm of utterly volcanic instrumentation". The song was produced and arranged by Grammy award winner and Golden Globe nominee Simon Franglen. The song was described as a "bombastic, heart-pounding" ballad, which has become a popular song choice for contestants on reality television singing competitions like American Idol. It uses a Neapolitan chord of Ab major before a suspended chord at the end of the verses. The chorus uses the common chord progression of vi–IV–I–V, with Dion's vocal range spanning from note D ♭ 3 to D ♭ 5. Her take on Tina and Ike Turner's River Deep Moutain High is at 25, and a cover of Luther Vandross's Dance With My Father ranks 29th.Having a tempo of 57 beats per minute with syncopation, the song is written in the key of G minor and it would feature piano, string ensemble, drums and a synthesizer. Despite not charting in the Top 40, her cover of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Happy Xmas (War Is Over) ranks ninth with 6 million plays.Ĭeline is known for delivering impressive covers of hits by other artists, several of which feature in her Top 40 most played. Celine probably didn't mind too much, as My Heart Will Go On passed the million sales mark in the UK after just eight weeks.Įlsewhere in Celine's most-streamed Top 40, her 2018 single Ashes - recorded for the Deadpool 2 film - places sixth on 11.6 million plays. It lost the top spot initially to Fatboy Slim’s remix of Cornershop’s Brimfull Of Asha and the Run DMC Vs Jason Nevins’ It’s Like That. Taken from the soundtrack to James Cameron’s cinema epic Titanic, My Heart Will Go On spent two non-consecutive weeks at Number 1 in 1998. However it was Celine’s second Number 1, My Heart Will Go On, which would become her first UK million-selling single and her overall biggest single of all-time with 1.84 million chart sales, including 27.3 million streams across all plaforms. When it comes to streams, it ranks fourth, with 14.7 million plays. This slow burning powerhouse anthem would go on to become one of the UK’s biggest selling singles of all time with over 1.32 million sales. It’s now her seventh most-streamed track with 9 million plays.Ĭeline scored her first UK Number 1 the following year with Think Twice. While her subsequent three UK single releases (1992’s If You Asked Me, Love Can Move Mountains and 1993’s Where Does My Heart Beat Now?) failed to make the UK Top 40, Celine was back with a vengeance in 1994 with The Power Of Love, which peaked at Number 4. It peaked at Number 9 on the Official Singles Chart in May, 1992 and is her 11th most-streamed song in the UK with 5.6 million plays. The track, which also features the vocals of Peabo Bryson, was ditched from the film’s final theatrical release, but Disney elected to keep it on the official soundtrack. Her first English language album, Unison, was released in 1990 in North America, but Celine didn’t find chart success on UK shores until 1992 with her version of the title song from Disney’s Beauty And The Beast.
