Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about I Surrender (page 1/1) ------ performed by Celine Dion It's an ok song. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/4/08 Are you NUTS!! That song is one of her best anglo songs! Peeps always say our Céline sings better in French....well, notice the ends of the words....when the ooos turn eerily into uuues...those small details make this song transcend everything language-like...I just like the sounds! :) "I Surrender" to Celine | Reviewer: Eric L. Watts | 12/5/04 Another fine example of the idiocy of record label music marketers: following in the tragic tradition of "She's A Star" by Barry Manilow and "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson, "I Surrender" is by far the best song on the album it appears on, and yet it went totally ignored by the boneheads who decide what songs on an album get released as singles to commercial FM radio stations. Celine Dion suffered a bit of overexposure after the phenomenal success of 1997's "My Heart Will Go On," and she's not quite yet been able to reach that same level of popularity with her musical releases since then. But had "I Surrender" been released in 2002 as a single from her "A New Day Has Come" CD, it definitely would have put her back on top and pushed "that song from TITANIC" into the footnotes. Celine puts the power back into "power ballad" with this extraordinary piece of work. Her vocal acrobatics have never been better and the louder the volume, the better she sounds. The song itself speaks of an unrequited love, not unlike the classic Carpenters ode "Superstar," but whereas Karen Carpenter (and later, the velvety Luther Vandross) speak to their love with quiet and eloquent desperation, Celine throws herself at hers with an explosive passion that cannot be dismissed. "I Surrender" should have been the title song on this album as well as its first release. This one song alone is worth the price of the whole CD and stands as one of her greatest vocal achievements.
