I'm happy to hear that more forum members were there.

[LVCeline]

Ah, I'm glad there was another there!  Hopefully you can back up my opinions, heh.  What did you think about That's Just the Woman in Me?

A few of us made note on our program to please change the album title, so hopefully they'll take notice! There were probably only 150-200 people there, so it was a very intimate / laid back setting.

Oh. I thought there were more people. Only 150-200, and most are Harrah's employees? So how many TC members were there? Much less than 100?

I didn't like it AT ALL!   I thought her voice was too scratchy...but, I don't like that style of music in general...so it might just be the type of song that has to grow on me.

I'd say there were less than 10 people from the forum there!? I don't think there were 100 TeamCeline members there...

[LVCeline]

That's why I loved it so much!  Hehe her voice never sounded like that and I loved it.  

What about Eyes on Me?  Crazy beat huh!

[anghil5]

I was there w/Ramona and Kim and some others from the forum. It was a neat experience, for sure. My favorites were "Taking Chances" "Alone" "That's Just The Woman In Me" and "A World To Believe In" ...

It was a fun night - and worth changing my flight to stay!

Nice that this is getting so much publicity!  

[Nmj]

I Cant wait to hear ALONE, Taking Chances...and Eyes on Me

It's got to be the amazing A Song For You.  The version that tops all covers so far is Karen Carpenters' rendition from 1972.  It's full of emotion, and I hope Celine does it justice.

[Nmj]

I hope Celines version is better
-Nmj

[KimboCosmo]

I'm sure it will be

[Dansons]

How about  the upcoming album do you think?
better than A New Day Has Come or D'elles?
if you have 10 points,how many you will give?

Edited by Dansons, 22 August 2007 - 02:10 AM.

[MichiG.]

can someone confirm if it's Karen's song or not?! I hope this doesn't turn out to be a half cover album! I like covers but I wish for sth new.

[felixwhoals]

I hope to get a sneak preview of the album.. Ah, I just can't wait..

[one_heart_1_hart]

I can't see the point why they don't let us listen to some clips...

[speedy]

A good feeling is running in my vains about this album.
Im not worried about the covers, are there 3 if I remember?¿ Taking Chances is olmost new for the media and public in general. The only one really important cover is Alone, but is 20 years ago and is good for the young fans and people to remember so good old song.

This is going to be great!!!

thank you.

I'm having a hard time finding this song catchy and finding a refrain in it. But I now remember hearing mr Copycat himself Micheal Bublé singing this song and he actually does it quite well.

Michael Bublé - A Song For You (live)

Michael Bublé - A Song For You (studio)

And people it's not about the amount of covers it is HOW they are done. New songs can be bad aswell, however some people seem to cover only coz they get artistically lazy and simly copies the original - let's hope that is not the case, and judged by how we've seen Céline cover before we shouldn't have too much to worry about.

Yes but why 4! covers....Can anyone confirm if My Love and A Song For You are the songs presented in this thread? pls do if you can

Naa, I can't stand American Idol's arrengements, trying to be melodramatic (who would aime at that??) but ends up sounding off pace. And vibrato abuse and waling doesn't bring soul to a song, it kills it.

I still have to go with Bublé's version as the best one (Elliot seems to have copycated mr Copycat before when I see that he has covered songs already covered by Bublé).

People... Would you say that Eyes On Me is a R&B song, or it's just an uptempo one?

[CSCfan]

For that matter....which songs on the album are R&B [like/sounding]?

[ZoraSourit]

"A Song For you" is a cover or not?

[ByuSmurf]

Michael Bublé's version of A Song For You is so SMOOTH - VELVET!!  
The trumpet and arrangement... holy smokes!!  
Céline could really kick it with this R&B classic!!
OK... my wish is for her to perform this song on the MDA telethon!!!!

I LOVE R&B/JAZZ!!!

I'm also glad to hear that it can best be compared to Kelly Clarkson's Album - Breakaway!  
I love that album!!   Her newest album is great, too!!

Edited by ByuSmurf, 22 August 2007 - 08:10 AM.

[tativale]

Buble's version of "A song for you" is great!!!!!
Mon dieu, I cannot wait for this album!!!!

[smw]

I guess what I don't particularly like about Buble's cover is that he doesn't hold true to the arrangement that Leon Russell set for the song when he wrote it.  

This song is such an important song - and hard as hell to sing.  You really have to of gone through something to pull it off.  Not just have a good voice.  It's an emotional song....not one just to sing your way through.  That's why Karen's rendition really speaks.  

I hope Celine adds her own "thing" to it, while staying true to the original arrangement.

[reinv89]

Sounds very similar to "My December" by Kelly Clarkson and imo it's Kellys best record. Fingers crossed, especially for the songs, with a dark mood...And thx: NO JAZZ !!!
