Celine Dion - 'with this tear'

I'd read about Prince writing this song for Celine but only recently heard it - great track

Anyone know any more details behind it?
How did it come about for him to give her the song?

Your right, it is an awesome song!!

In Celines biography it says that Prince phoned Celine and told her he had written a song for her and asked if she would record it.
It mentions that Prince wrote the song after seeing Celine perform. He was obviously impressed.

Peace!

Of course I do. Celine is the best female vocalist in the world, without a doubt!!!
The biography is very good reading!

I like that Celine song, however she is no match for Mariah, Mariah is by far a more superior singer, more origibal vocal styling and that high register
I wonder what the song she and Princed did sounded like?

Gotta say both Mariah and Celine make me want to inflict terrible pain upon myself, but I actually think this song is quite good. She delivers it well, and doesnt over do it, but I would love to hear Princes version.

As for Ms Carey, well Ive heard her take of The Beautiful Ones and quite frankly Id rather she kept her whiny voice well away from all things Prince.

To be honest her version introduced me P's version and I like it!

I love this song. Can't imagine anyone else singing this song. I love Celine Dion. I could only wish that these two would work together. Or at least have Prince write all the songs for her album. Beautiful composition, beautiful voice, the perfect song. This is definitely one of my top Prince 'associated' songs. worship Celine!

There is no reason to talk about another like this.

She is very beautiful!

Why do you find it necessary to talk like that about another human being?


She is extraordinarily talented. There are different voices, and her voice is very unique! One of the best!

I've always wanted to hear this track. Anywhere I can download it? Do I really have to buy a Celine album just for that song?
