Rene needs a slap- she needs a label that actually wants her to do well and to put her out there- it sometimes seems to me that they're embarrassed by her.

I agree, but with all the new artists selling so well, who will put up with what Rene demands for an artist who, in many's eyes, peaked after MHWGO?  Rene is going to sabotage any deal put his way b/c of his control issues!! C'mon Rene!!  Give up the reins!!!

stevo .... yummy yummy shirt(less)  

How dare you! He is Edward's. He signed a contract when being boozed at MEN Arena. He doesnt remember nottin tho. But I got his signature.

I do remember- I've been discussing the contract with my Lawyers but there isn't anyway out of it...he's got me until 2013

... a pity!

1. Where Does My Heart Beat Now
2. Beauty And The Beast
3. If You Asked Me To
4. Love Can Move Mountains (Daniel Abraham's 7" Edit)
5. The Power Of Love
6. Think Twice
7. Misled
8. Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore
9. Falling Into You
10. It's All Coming Back To Me Now
11. Because You Loved Me
12. My Heart Will Go On
13. That's The Way It Is
14. A New Day Has Come (Original Version)
15. I Drove All Night
16. Taking Chances

She definitely needs a comprehensive greatest hits album that corrects some of the errors the far too slim 'All The Way' offered up.

....nowhere does it say on the contract that I am to refrain from indulging in any activities with other Celine fans however...

But back on topic- Rene needs slapped!!!        She needs an injection of freshness, of a team that don't know her, that want to create her and push her. Nevertheless, this album will sit nicely in our Collections of Collections, no doubt.

Good tracklist Chris- then another disc of new material and amazing live renditions/ hard to find gems

Thanks to Ethu (journalist) from the spanish forum we get some info for the upcoming album:

- Instead a reedition of Taking chances Sony has decided to release the GH.

- 18 tracks, 2 new tracks:Let Me Be Your Soldier"(Kara DioGuardi & Dave Stewart, John Shancks produced) or Your True Love or Will Never Go Away, maybe more for Itunes or China.

- This it's gonna be the last album of the agreement with Sony!!! What's is going to happen??... Everybody in this forum is praying in my opinion that Céline leaves Sony BMG for once, will know next year!


Thanks a million Ethu for the info.

thanks!! so I guess we're getting LMBYS ever all!   Will never go away, wasn't that a song by R Kelly? I can't wait!


ll in all I think it's more clever to release a new album instead of a rerelease of TC, but the should have promoted/milked TC totally before they do that!    

I do wonder what will happen with Sony! Will she finally leave them?!??!?!    I do wonder about the live album then! Which label would release a live album first, of a new signed artist? Even if it is Céline (like duh! LOL )

it's "I'll Be Your True Love" and "Let me be your soldier" but he says "probably" plus maybe more new tracks for the japanese market, BTW I just realized Ethu announced this on august 23th OMG no one checked the Spanish section!
He also said according to sony TC sold 3.500.000 worldwide, good sales for them, so it will be very difficult for them to lose Celine..it seems like they will offer her a very appetizing new contract

I knew the extra can't be for China. We never get extra.    I think Japanese version would be the one I get.  

[Alex_Incognito]

Perhaps it's time for the "Sorry For Love (2008 version)"!

fake sales for TC... if you count the album has 8 edition and everybody got 2 or 3

the album didn't sold more than 1.500.000 with one edition

[stillwater]

Releasing a Greatest Hits is not what Celine needs right now.
I do not understand what the bigwigs at Sony is thinking...or if they're thinking at all.
They are definitely "killing" Celine's already anemic career!

Your source is fake. TC had sold more than one million copies in the US alone. Where did you get 1.500.000?

i hope too that she leaves sony. this company SUCKS!!!!!!!

[idroveallnight]

I like the cover a lot.  I think they chose a great photo and hopefully they will include a lot more new pictures from this photo session in the insert.  

I don't like the title.  I think My Love, Greatest Hits was a lot more appropriate.  'Essential Collection' just sounds like a box set or another version of The Collector's Series.

How many editions do you have?

I have 3.

If all real fans have at least 2

1.500.000 + 1.500.000 = 3.000.000

all fans in POrtugal that I know have 2 or more editions, I believe that we are not alone


all editions

Taking Chances - regular edition (US / Europe version) 16 tracks, no DVD
Taking Chances - Japanese edition, includes tracks MTMH and The Reason I Go On
Taking Chances - CD+DVD, 16 tracks and a 25 min DVD (inc. 4 songs from AND and a sneak preview)
Taking Chances - Gift Set, CD+DVD+Perfume (fancy pink, lacy cover)

Taking Chances - CostCo long box with bonus cd of 8 of celine's biggest hits
Taking Chances - Taiwanese version with celine's postcards
Taking Chances - Chinese version, The album case is a dvd case
Taking Chances - Walmart exclusive with THE SESSION DVD

So it's because you have countless editions, it means everyone has more than one copy?   And no matter what, those are counted as sold copies.

[Alex_Incognito]

Yeah, I doubt the 'average fan' collects the editions as many of us do.

yep and the album is a flop...., they do all these editions to guarantee sales

[bruno_oliveira]

ohhhh I like the way you think, great idea about the 2nd disc of just new material.  

Someone else posted a tracklist with 3 discs I love that idea too.

No one said that.

Wishful thinking mainly, but let's hope it's true.  Maybe she could jump to Island as well.  Anastacia (who Sony really f***ed over) moved there.

[autumnskies00]

I think she should stay with Sony. They gave us an un-needed release within a year of her last album. We should appreciate what we can get. Though, I'm a bit biased because I intern there and see all they hard work they put into everything but it sucks to see everyone bashing them. They asked our opinion...listened to it as much as they probably could and they're putting out an album that will have great sales for Celine. I don't think we can count on her leaving them because she stuck with them this long in her career...her very successful career...why change now? They know her history, she knows how they work...it would be a big risk to change labels so late in her career. I'm sure Darren and the sony uk team have been working their butts off on this iand t's sad that no one can every be happy with what they can get.

no way! are u kidding? ok, i admit i agree with most of ur posts here, but never this one! according to IFPI, the album shipped 3.1M copies worldwide by the end of 2007, making it the 19th best-selling album worldwide that year, which was quite an achievement considering the fact that it has no hit single in it, and it was released less than 2 months before the year ended. i am so sick and tired of explaining my point over and over, but seeing how some fans claim that this album is a flop is getting a little out of hand. sure it ain't  her biggest seller, but looking at Mariah's and Madonna's album's sales, calling TC a flop is just plain stupid. and it doesn't matter how many editions SonyBMG released. the point is, it is TAKING CHANCES that people are buying.

about My Love: Essential Collection, i am very positive that it will sell well worldwide. last year Whitney Houston released The Ultimate Collection, and it did relatively well without promotion and new song. knowing that celine is, in any angle, more sellable than Whitney, i'm pretty sure we'll not be disappointed.

[autumnskies00]

I agree with the above statement! TC was not a flop. It was number 3 on billboard up against some very talented artists. CDs just don't sell anymore, so numbers like that these days, are very impressive.

[Celineboy]

I'm a little late but still. This would be my choice for My love: Essential Collection

1. My love (new recording)
2. The power of love
3. All by myself (album version)
4. Because you loved me
5. To love you more (extended Kryzler & Company version)
6. A world to believe in (Japanese version) * Previously Unreleased
7. It’s all coming back to me now
8. If I could.. (A new day.. version)
9. A new day has come (radio remix)
10. Tell him (duet with Barbra Streisand)
11. Taking Chances
12. I’m alive (radio remix)
13. Think twice
14. Have you ever been in love
15. Immortality (with the Bee gees)
16. Dance with my father
17. Let me be your soldier* Previously unreleased
18. I’ll be your true love * Previously unreleased
19. My heart will go on (extended classical version)

[Chula]

Can't wait for the tracklist.

[Celineforeveranangel]

I am so excited to see the tracklist. I wish they would tell us OMG!!!!!!!
