I think people are missing the concept of "Greatest Hits."  Why are people putting live versions of songs and songs that were never released as singles?  They didn't say "put together 16 songs you want on a cd," it's GREATEST HITS.  Meaning the songs people know and were played on the radio and did well on the radio.  The songs Celine is known for.  And it's not FRENCH, it's ENGLISH.

How can we be taken seriously when we're coming up with such ridiculous lists!  This has to be realistic.

I think the reason they are asking us is coz there actually hasn't been many hits since 1999, so they want to actually know which songs we like best and which songs are concidered "hit" in the fan underworld.

Therefor I say yes to songs such as I Surrender and Reveal to be on there, but to have songs like Would I Know and Let Your Heart decide (no matter how much some want them on cd) really don't fit there...

Funny no one mentioned Calling You or Us.

And yes, I think one or two live tracks work fine on a greatest hits, for example BYLM and MHWGO which so many are so damn tired of but still needs to be there so why not add a slightly different version, nad the easiest way to do that is a live version. But if it gets too many live tracks the cd gets pretty messy, and a GH is already really messy.

/fred

[CSCfan]

I thought about "Us"....didn't put it on coz of the limited space..
ABM & MY should be the live songs IMO.... perhaps with RDMH..

[nrcda88]

This is interesting & I'm very curious to see if it will be released.

Songs that have not been released on ATW and Collectors Series Vol 1
ok here goes...

1)Unison
2)Water From The Moon
3)Love Doesn't Ask Why
4)River Deep, Mountain High
5)Let's Talk About Love
6)Live For The One I Love
7)I'm Alive
8)I Drove All Night
9)Faith
10)That's The Way It Is
11)To Love You More
12)Have A Heart
13)Taking Chances
14)Have You Ever Been In Love
15)I Surrender
16)Fade Away

Although if there could be a cd or 2 with unreleased songs that would be great.
Oh well let's wait and see what happens now

exactly the 2 songs i used as live in mine! which one is "MY" though?

[godessceline]

well, first of all...is it an English or French one or can the tracks be of both languages? Because we had ATW- A Decade Of Song which featured basically all her hits (apart from Think Twice and the later recorded I drove All Night and I'm Alive) and then there was On Ne Change Pas not too long ago (well, everything is relative) with the French hits. So that makes this kinda tricky.  

I think Calypso's suggestion about a second disc with b-sides and rare songs is a GREAT idea; maybe not so attractive for people that buy a Céline album sporadically and on an impulse, but us "die hard" fans would love it (and there is quite many of us, you know ). The idea of yet another Greatest Hits feels off to me, to be honest. However I can definitely see "The Show Must Go On" (possibly live recording) on a future album though; Greatest Hits or not.  

[zoea2812]

I understand that we should be selecting the greatest hits that celine has had in the past, but i also feel to get people interested in the newer stuff there should be rare tracks on the album to persuade them to buy maybe the Taking Chances album, where as they might not have been so interested if not hearing the songs on the Greatest hits cd.

We had Think Twice on ATW, at least the northen European countries, if not all Europe, and you're from Sweden so yours should be including TT as well.

As for the French or English GH, we just had a French GH, so count that out yes.

About which tracks should be concidered hits and not, look at the French greatest hits, songs like Et Je Taime Encore and Contre Nature were on, and even though their great songs they were never hits, not to mention Le Loup, La Biche Et Le Chevalier (une Chanson Douce) - what was up with that?!  

But to get back on topic, I would appreciate if Darren would be kind to answer our questions about guidelines for the tracklist.

[amelie]

i counted 20 "legitimate" answers so far!!!! That's TWICE as many i expected!!

[tal-sh2]

First of all, Sony, I'm glad that you want to hear from the fans. It's fantastic.
I hope that the Greatest-Hits will include some Rare/Unreleaseds songs, 'cause that what will make the fans TRULY exciting... Maybe on a special version of it with a Bonuses.

While I'm making the list I do not wanted to put "All The Way" tracks much in it, because for that people can but ATW.  

So here's the list: (Not a very specific order of tracks)

1. I'm Alive.
2. A New Day Has Come (Radio Remix).
3. I Surrender.
4. I Drove All Night.
5. Have You Ever Been In Love.
6. In Some Small Way.
7. If I Could (could be the "A New Day..." version)
8. Taking Chances.
9. Alone.
10. Love Can Move Mountains.
11. All By Myself.
12. Water From The Moon.
13. My Heart Will Go On ('cause it's the most successful song you must put it)
14. Where Does My Heart Beat Now.
15. River Deep Mountain High ("A New Day..." Version)
16. Simply The Best (the cover of Tina Turner that Celine performed in "Les Stars De L'annee")

Thank you.

[minniemare5]

First of all, why another greatest hits album? We already have "All the Way" , "One Ne Change Pas disc 1 and 2",  and" The Collector's Edition Volume 1"

I would love for them to release an album of unreleased songs in French and English.

I don't want another greatest hits album, so I'm not going to post 16 songs that are available on her other albums.

Sorry! Don't mean to sound rude at all.

[Nmj]

you dont sound rude your right; another GH CD is not wanted
-Nmj

[autumnskies00]

Sorry to be the downer, but I highly doubt sony is actually asking for our opinion. Apparently they're supposed to be doing a re-release of Taking Chances. There is no way they're going to release that and a greatest hits album in the fall. Besides, remember when we were being asked what should be the second single by "sony"..never happened. I don't think they'll release another hits album this soon anyway because honestly, there hasn't been enough since ATW. It would basically be the same thing.

[Nmj]

they will prob release the GH album during her retirement

[tearsinheaven87]

Another Greatest Hits album?
Really?

Has Celine even had enough hits since ATW to make up another Greatest Hits album?

I really don't want another album with songs I already have.

(And yes I will keep stressing the word ANOTHER)

If they stupidly decide to make another Greatest Hits with the same songs on the last ones, then the least they could do is make it a two disc like other people suggested above. The second disc containing rare songs, ones which have never made it on to any album.

That's my two cents.


But seriously?! Another Greatest Hits album? How many time can they make money from the same old songs!

And re-agree!! AMEN to that!   Very well said. Sony be warned: don't make the fans and the people waste their money if you are only going to release an "All The Way" Part II with the same songs that we already have in 3 albums!     

"Take the chance" with Céline at least once in this decade and release an album of UNRELEASED/NEW SONGS (if you know what means that...), and you will do a favour to Céline's career and fans

But please don't waste our time and money again.

And I begin to doubt seriously that anyone on Sony is really reading us here

What if the special ed of Taking Chances is a 2-disc set with Taking Chances (nothing added) on disc 1 and the greatest hits as disc 2?  

Perhaps that is their master plan for the moment.

Eh, but I don't think they would do that because they would be losing money if they made a taking chances album that could essentially be two different albums (greatest hits and tch re-release). But even still, I don't think they're even reading this.

Thats the music business for ya. She's not the only artist they do this for. As for number 12, I still believe thats her decision. Even if she had a contract with them, she could break it pretty easily with all the $$$ she has. They don't own her soul haha.

[Stuart2007]

This thread reminds me of a 'best of' compilation Mini Disc I made up during summer 99.  I was surprised and amused when ATW came out with the same sequence of hits bar MHWGO which I put later on the 16 track disc.  I think I had FIY in its place.  Hopefully I'll find the time to make my own list, but I want to do it properly.  I'll make a new playlist on my MP3 player and fiddle with it until its perfect.
