These Are Special Times (2007)

By the time her first variety special aired on CBS television Thanksgiving Eve 1998, Celine Dion's reputation as one of the most acclaimed entertainers in history was solidified. By the close of the decade, she would become the world's best-selling female artist, selling more than 160 million albums. The television special for These Are Special Times was a ratings champion, ranking #1 for the night and garnering two Emmy Award nominations.

The DVD captures Celine performing her biggest hits in spectacular fashion including "My Heart Will Go On," from Titanic, "Power Of Love" and "Let's Talk About Love" along with some of her favorite holiday classics. Also featured on the DVD is an exclusive performance by Andrea Bocelli, duets with Rosie O'Donnell and Andrea Bocelli as well as Celine Dion's previously unavailable interpretation of the Roberta Flack classic "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."

These Are Special Times Network Special - originally aired on CBS November 25, 1998 Album Description

Classic Celine

This album is so cozy and it's so family oriented. She actually has her family members sing with her. The Prayer became one of my favorite songs of all time as a result of Celine's duet with Andrea Bocelli. This album can be enjoyed year round. June 2, 2008

Special for Holiday

I love Celine so much! January 20, 2008

These are Special Times

This is a must-have collection specialy for Celine's fans.Great Christmas music and the holiday performance live in this DVD.I like the part where Celine visited Charlemagne and recalled her humble beginnings.The only thing is suggest/wished that the DVD covers from the entire concert and there was no cuts,although the highlights were there.If we watch any of Celine's performance,it should be to the max.Otherwise,DO NOT miss this collection.

Outstanding

One of the best Xmas CD there are. Beautiful. Awesome. Great. I bought it a number of years ago but I wanted to see the DVD that goes with it. Great. Really good. January 8, 2008

Mellow Christmas

I like the CD. Celine is nice and mellow for Christmas. I didn't know there was also a DVD included. I was surprised to see that there are different songs on the DVD. They are not the same ones as on the Christmas CD. December 11, 2007
