Tell him [continuation]
Céline and Barbra

Written by the genius who is David Foster, the song joins the best voices; with Céline, in good form as ever, we find also the fabulous Barbra Streisand, an extraordinary woman we remember for masterpieces as "Evergreen", "The Way We Were" and "Woman In Love". The results is exceptional.
The soft and tender voice of Céline Dion begins the song (I'm scared.), just a whisper, the frightened declaration of weakness of woman in love.
Then Céline gives the place to the sweet and persuasive voice of Barbra Streisand (I've been there.), and, after a verse in crescendo, here there is the first thrill, the explosion of the whole power of the voices in the refrain ("Tell him"), a very sweet love poem, but it's only a moment, a brief firework which starts again being a slender flame with the second verse (Touch him); Barbra is sharp and full of passion, while Céline is warm and sensuous (I love him.). We feel the same emotion during the second refrain, a new explosion of love, and the best moment is coming up.
Céline envelops us with the wonderful notes of the last verse (Love is light.), and immediately afterwards, the extraordinary partner comes (Feed the fire). Together they faces a crescendo of power, an irresistible shrill, overwhelming hurricane of feelings, and then, once again, the third refrain which takes the listener hanging toward the heaven, in ecstasy, till, little by little, the voices grow faint, becoming a delicate and faint whisper (Never let him go), and we return to reality, leaving this wonderful dream.
Is it possible that all this is just a song? No, undoubtedly. "Tell Him" is more than a simple song, it's an unforgettable poem, it's heavenly melody that enters in the heart and there it will be forever. As the words say, Never let him go, it will never leave us. After the listening of it, it remains engraved in the soul. A masterpiece of this kind is the umpteenth confirmation of the huge skill of the Nightingale of Quebec and of the Queen of Broadway. Really, two unique women.
