So sad Celine has a show the following day and can't participate in the Leonard Cohen tribute concert this Mon in Montreal - https://www.leonardc...o-leonard-cohen
Such an amazing line-up. I'd love to see her on stage - or even hobnobbing backstage - with some of these people.
Sounds like Adam et al reached out to her but she's just not available that day - http://www.journalde...e----adam-cohen

For the interested, I believe the concert will air on the radio the following day and sometime later on TV / Netflix, I believe (and it's being directed by a Game of Thrones director, so.... yeah).

So turns out she made an appearance by video! Yay!




Guess we now know what she was doing in the studio the other day - recording Leonard Cohen's Tower of Song! :clap:


Love.

Turns out she was in the studio to record Leonard Cohen's Tower of Song, used in the tribute concert happening in Montreal this evening!

This makes me immensely happy.
The entire concert can be heard on the radio tomorrow (CBC Radio 2 as of 8 p.m), and will air on TV (and as a Netflix special, I believe) in the near future.

Don't get your hopes up! I think she probably does a verse, at best. Lots of other people involved (Peter Gabriel, Chris Martin for e.g., according to Twitter)

Well, they clearly gave her the most appropriate line to sing! ^_^

I'm with Robin on this... I think that big folder that we saw on the January rehearsals for the shows means just more rehearsing for the shows :hmm:

I think she sounded great 😀 The appropriate sound for singing a Cohen song and the reaction she got- especially when she looked at the camera, perfect 👌

But no, we don't want that scratchy voice on her new recordings 😂

No but it was part of it. She did the recording of her phrase, got her outfit from Law Roach and they filmed her in the studio. That should have not taken long to do that and afterwards she had plenty of time to do rehearsels or record new song for her upcoming album.

I think she has her own repertoire and a lot of "I like these songs" in that folder.
I wonder what's on the left black page, here there are 2, and in the recent pic Celine got 3.

Haha im sorry I have tooo much time and I'm in need of something from Celine.

Why do people want more recording for that day if they don't like the sound of her voice that day? :wtf:

I like it so much for that kind of song.It has so much character.

A full studio version would be fab! With great production. Lately her covers have been so plain and booring, with no soul and adding nothing to the song. But we know she can still do it: look at At Seventeen. That album is worth buying for that song alone!
Peace and love to all.

Was a nice little surprise to see this yesterday.  I didn't even know there was a tribute concert.  What a lovely way to remember Leonard..

It's nice that she participated in the tribute -- and, I don't know anything about Leonard Cohen, but it sounds like her singing style was appropriate for the occasion. But . . .she sounded like she was trying to sound like Janis Joplin.  I can't say I enjoyed hearing it or have any desire to play it again.

I listened to the entire concert on the radio and still totally bummed about not being able to make it there.
Basically, that was a bunch of my favorite artists doing a bunch of my favorite songs.

Seriously though, talk about range. Celine, Courtney Love, Seth Rogen, the Prime Minister ...very few artists could claim such a wide fan base.

Here's the full Tower of Song video montage (not the full song, sadly), opening with the choir from Leonard's synagogue. Not a huge fan of what Celine did with it (very nasal...) but love that she participated and tried something different.
Still hoping one of these days she might sing If It Be Your Will. Would suit her very well.




Here's the full set list, for the interested:

Dance Me To End Of Love (Sting)
Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye (Feist)
Who By The Fire (Patrick Watson)
I Am Your Man (Cat Power)
Democracy (The Lumineers)
PM Justin Trudeau & Sophie Gregoire Trudeau speech
Suzanne (Ron Sexsmith)
The Future (Elvis Costello)
Famous Blue Raincoat (Damien Rice)
So long Marianne (Adam Cohen, The Webb Sisters)
Hallelujah (k.d. lang)
Tower of Song (Willie Nelson, Céline Dion, Peter Gabriel, Chris Martin)
Sisters of Mercy (Sting)
Chelsea Hotel (Lana Del Rey, Adam Cohen)
In My Secret Life (Bettye Lavette)
Everybody Knows (Courtney Love)
Field Commander (Seth Rogen)
If It Be Your Will (Borns, The Webb Sisters)
The Partisan (Coeur de pirate, Adam Cohen, Damien Rice)
Bird On The Wire (Elvis Costello)
Anthem (Sting)
You Want It Darker (Voice of Leonard Cohen with the Shaar Hashomayim synangogue choir)
Coming Back To You (Adam Cohen)
Closing Time (Basia Bulat)

Sting's celtic version of Sisters of Mercy was da bomb.

OK, sorry about the spam. I'm just biased, having been named after a Leonard song. Seeing him live several times was transcendental. Thank you for the words & music, LC.
Back to regular Celine programming now.
