Voila

EDSEL EDITION IS NOT DELUXE!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE, YOU COULD ADD SOME REMIXES OR A LIVE VERSION (OR A NEW SONG) TO MAKE IT SOMEHOW DIFFERENT, BECAUSE THIS VERSION IS EXACTLY THE 2007 EDITION BUT IN 1 DISC, AND THE OTHER WAS 2 DISCS FOR ENGLISH VERSIONS.EDSEL YOU'RE STILL ON TIME BEFORE 1 SEPTEMBER, JUST FOR THE FANS AS ME, SO HAPPY OF YOUR EDSEL EDITIONS. YOUR IDEA WAS GREAT IN EVERY ALBUM, ALL OF THEM, EXCEPT THIS!!THE 5 STARS IS BECAUSE THE CD IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!!

alleen erg jammer dat er een "fout"op de cd staat en dat je dus uiteindelijk niet de correcte cd krijgt zoals beloofd.had de cd in de "pre order"besteld en deze zijn dus niet goed.verder is het een heerlijk cd , prachtige songs erop. echt een aanrader als je van Franstalige songs houdt.

I wanted to get this album cause I'd read some mixed reviews about it. Some reviews were positive and some of them really slammed it. I actually think that her voice just about copes with the French language which she chose to pursue. It's a different album to her previous offerings and it's more of a French chanteuse path.There are some well known French songs on here including 'Bonnie et Clyde', 'La Vie en Rose' and 'Merci Cherie'. A couple of the songs on this interesting and very good album were co-written by Serge Gainsbourg. I was a little apprehensive when I first listened to it wondering if her vocal style would cope with the French accent and if she'd do justice to any of the songs. I was pleasantly surprised.I think that the front cover of the booklet is possibly one of the best designed with Belinda Carlisle standing in a French street and the surrounding walls are plastered with French advertising. It's possibly telling us that this album will be in French. Belinda Carlisle is one of my favourite singers and she has a really distinctive voice when she sings. I'm wondering now if she'll attempt another French style album where she sings in French. If her next album is exactly that then it may be better than this effort. Good as it is it only gets 4 stars instead of 5. A brave and hearty effort nonetheless.

DIFFERENT APPROACH FOR BELINDA CARLISLE. . A BIT DISAPPOINTING THERE WEREN'T MORE TRACKS ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CD. SAYING THAT THOUGH THE CD IN FRENCH IS VERY GOOD IN IT'S OWN RIGHTAIMED MORE AT HER DIE HARD FANS RATHER THAN THE OCCASIONAL LISTENER

i love her music since 1981 !

not what you would expect but an easy listen

Wonderful. Belinda has always had one of the very best voices in pop and this is no exception. Beautifully performed and incredibly in French too.

The fantastic Belinda in fine voice en Français!

Excelente el producto y el envio!

Fantastica icona degli anni 80 mai dimenticata. Stile inconfondibile. Una ventata di magia per tutti coloro che l'hanno amata ed ascoltata. Un ottimo lavoro musicale. Imperdibile.

This is a radical departure for Belinda Carlisle singing some classic French pop songs in French no less. Husky voiced, she delivers credible versions of classics by Edith Piaf and Charles Aznavour among others. This is a fine addition to your BC collection.John Walsh

I have been waiting a long time for a new Cd since Belinda's-A Woman And A Man, constantly checking on Amazon to see if she was coming out with anything new.Well let me tell you I was like a kid on Christmas morning squealing with delight when I saw she was coming out with a new CD...and I nearly fell out of my chair when I found out it was entirely in French...sheer bliss!!Could one of the most Beautiful voices on Earth be singing in one of the most beautiful languages...a dream come true for me!! I have always been a big fan of Belinda's and I'm a lover of French pop music such as Mylene Farmer,Mitsou,Alizee,Coralie Clement,Zazie and now Belinda, so needless to say this is a marriage made in Heaven!Her vocals have always had such a sweet vibration so unique and glorious,listening to her sing gives me goosebumps.I'm sure other of her fans would agree.Voila Takes a hold of you and doesn't let go, all of the songs are sung with such emotion that a couple of them even brought me to tears.Merci Belinda for this precious gift you have given me and the world.

前作「AWAAM」から約10年。待ちに待った新作「Voila」は、全11曲フランス語で歌った古いシャンソンとフレンチポップス。嬉しいことに、このcdには英語バージョン4曲が別cdで入ってる。（日本盤にも挿入）因みに、ケースはryko独特のグリーンぽい物。歌詞カードは付いてません。さてNatacha Atlasのバックアップボーカルから始まるこのアルバム。どこかフランスではない異国の空気に誘われて耳を傾けると、そこはもうBelindaの世界。例の独特なビブラートも健在です。今までのポップス路線を期待されると、かなり違和感あると思います。シャンソンなんて知らなくてもOK!歌詞なんて判らなくても十分に彼女の情熱を感じることができるアルバムです。track3や7の情感たっぷりな歌いっぷりに心を打たれ、誰でも一度は聞いたことがあるtrack4と8にニヤリとし、最後のjezebelでは圧倒的に力強いボーカルが頭に響きノックアウトされること間違いなし。私の稚拙な解説では、このアルバムの素晴らしさは語りきれない。とにかく世界的なセールスを無視して、彼女が作りたいフランスの音楽がぎっしり詰まったこのアルバム。新しい挑戦と過去を振り返らないその仕事ぶりに、心からおめでとうと言いたい。おかえり、Belinda!ステキな音楽をありがとう！
