Celine's 1999 hit THATS THE WAY IT IS is one of my favorites by Celine. It's a song with so much energy and hope, you can't help but be lifted by this performance. The production is really good, Celine worked with different producers to give her a more modern sound. She still sounds absolutely breathtaking with her vocals. This song is really one of my favorites because of its message, (when you want it the most there's no easy way out/when you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt/don't give up on your faith/love comes to those who believe it/and that's the way it is). This was her first US single since "It's All Coming Back To Me Now". The remixes are nice too! Overall a real winner coming from Celine, check this one out!
