[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 407193, member: 68"] I have watched it and was shocked that the symptoms first started to really show up around the Taking Chances World Tour. I found the documentary hard to watch at times but as a Celine fan a lot of things fell into place when I watched it. For years I have been sort of complaining about the vocal production on her albums. Like from around the time of Loved Me Back To Life. Celine's vocal production was a very different style to what we were used to in the '90s and early '00s. It was less smooth, less lush, it lost a lot of what made her voice sound so magical. I just couldn't understand how that quality wasn't being captured. She and her team were hard selling us on the fact that Celine was looking for a different sound, she was experimenting with a rocky sound etc. I now know this wasn't exactly the truth. I know singers voices change, and I never expected Celine to sound like she did in her 20s or 30s forever but I could tell something just wasn't right. The smoothness was gone, what once sounded fluid and agile was now sounding, raspy and dry. The power and belt was still there but how she could use her voice through that was apparently different to me. Now it all really makes sense to me. It's tough because she's a performer. I would be fine with her not doing shows all year. Just releasing an album every couple of years, and having lots of vocal rest etc. But that isn't a life that she wants, she wants to perform, she loves it, and to be the best there is and then all of sudden find that you cant be the best, that you can't do what was always so easy to you must be truly awful.
