I understand this is the "American" version of her career, but having been a fan during her early years, I couldn't help but feel insulted by the complete lack of respect towards her French material (which is entirely missing in favor of some new material arranged as if they were rejects from mid 90s recordings) and the people involved in her pre-Unison years. Christopher Neal must be pretty mad that his instrumental work on "Where does my heart beat now" was attributed to David Foster - Neil is quite responsible for the sound that helped Celine breaking in the English market at that time (only one of the Foster tracks off Unison actually made it into single form in Canada and it was the fifth). And who can forget Luc Plamondon before that who agreed to write edgier material for her during her Incognito years but was apparently not worthy of a mention.
Why show them if people don't know them? Well, maybe people would know them if revisionist shows like this would stop rewriting history in favor of household names.
In any case, I'm sure the point was just to make little English girls dream when watching this... but it sure is a slap in the face of the whole French fan-base who carried her to during all these early years.
