Customer Rating:      Summary: Sólo para fanáticos de Celine Dion Comment: Si eres fan de Celine Dion no debes dejar de tener esto en tu colección!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: She calls this a miracle? Comment: Some old fart blows his beans up her muff and the end result is a 'miracle'? Give me a break. If that's a miracle, so is taking a dump...which is pretty much equivalent to the entire recorded output of this overmarketed, overrated, so-full-of-herself commercial twit.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Beautiful Miracle Comment: This is simply the best for a new mom, and the pics are beautiful with music by Celine that will amaze. My neice just had a new baby girl, and she loved this gift I gave her.Because ALL Babies are truly a miracle.
Customer Rating:      Summary: I hate it ! Comment: I am wondering WHEN this plague will be over....
and WHEN we'll be set free to listen to real music...
We all are so tired of her !
Customer Rating:      Summary: If you love Geddes, consider upgrading your purchase Comment: If you love the photographs of Anne Geddes, I'd recommend buying the larger 180 page book. The small 60 page booklet is only a teaser. Either you love her photos (in which case you'll want the larger book) or you only like her photos (in which case, the booklet won't do much for you, and you might as well just buy the CD). I love her photos, and having seen the booklet, then went out and bought the larger 180 page book (which also comes with a CD), and now I have 2 CDs.
I had hoped the DVD might focus on how Geddes took the photos, but alas, it was a very high level overview. It focused mainly on how Geddes & Dion met, discussions around how the concept for the album/book evolved and some cute stories about all the babies that peed on Dion during the shoots.
Overall, this would make a nice gift, but if you can afford it, I'd recommend getting the larger book instead.

Celine Dion's straight-from-the-heart, sincerity-stung singing, woven together with Anne Geddes' visual gifts, perform a neat symbiotic trick. If you never quite got Geddes' photographs (not everyone can find artistic merit in lineups of sleepyheaded newborns dressed as bumblebees), or if Celine's vocals seemed over-the-top emotional, this package irons out the separate but unsinkable appeal of both artists with drawstring-like efficiency. On the DVD, Celine's vocals are the musical equivalent of comfort food, zapping the weirdness out of the babies-as-blooms sequences with raw maternal warmth. And Geddes' playful images--the title track tucks a newborn into a lotus leaf, and "What a Wonderful World" blazes to life in bouquets of red rose bonnets--leavens Celine's swollen-hearted delivery with whimsy. Miracle's subtitle is A Celebration of New Life, and while Geddes and Dion go at it with opposite M.O.s, they meet in the middle with a box set to be prized for its exploration of the shades of a parent's love. There are a couple of reasons not to keep this package cribside, though: For one, the urge to stare dreamily at a sleeping newborn while Celine's stunning rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" plays notwithstanding, her note-pounding delivery is at times un-lullaby-like. For another, the images gathered in the 57-page booklet that accompanies the DVD and CD are too captivating to risk dampening with drool. --Tammy La Gorce
