Yeah now would be a perfect time to release that song. Such an easy lift for them.

You expect them to do something like that when they can't even have a lot of the album available on YouTube to listeners in the U.S.? LOL

Oh, I don’t expect anything from Team Celine.

[mirage]

Her voice is so beautiful on that song, I wish there was a celine only version of it.

The videos of “Et je t’aime encore” and “Contre nature” have been remastered, but they haven’t remastered the video of “Tout l’or des hommes”.

The way they made her look in the music video for EJTE was truly a crime. She looked really really bad. Such a shame, cause the song is beautiful

In my opinion, Contre Nature is one of Celines best music videos, if not the very best (for me personally). It's esthetics and entire concept are so unique and beautiful. They remastered the music video, but it still looks very low quality. It doesn't come close to HD resolution.

Because the video was shoot in 2003, while Celine was having short hair, while Contre Nature was shoot after her new long brown hair in 2004

It wasn't the short hair that made her look bad. The short hair looked great in OH and TLDH. It was the black and white, no make up, washed up look that made her look like a very ill person. Sorry but that video should have never been released!

The look on OH works very well, but her short blood hair was a mess

It works well with a good make up,

On EJTE the make up is very simple, it barely can be noticed on the video
It was a bad bad video,

[ryba]

And yet they left the EUS video unreleased. It couldn’t be worse than EJTE and they decided not to release it…

[comingback]

She lost her dad and E. Marnay in 2003 and the pressure of the AND Show . Yes she looks sick in the video.

They just styled her in the worst way possible. A different look would have been ok, but this was not acceptable. There was also a color version of this video. Is it still available?

Frankly the WHOLE short blonde era was a disaster in my opinion.

I absolutely love the whole TLDH look

Don't get me wrong, the song is great but her short blond hair look was horrible.

I love it here with the tees and jeans, the whole look is fantastic (to me) even the golf pics when it was really short... but absolutely hate it with the dresses and make up (OH, Colosseum Special, Billboard, etc)

[ryba]

She didn't look feminine at all. She looked like a little boy. It was no longer the classy, elegant Celine Dion from the 90s who stunned everybody with her beautiful voice. This short blond hair look was a complete disaster, and using it for an album cover and in official music videos was the worst decision they've ever made. It's like she was ridiculing herself. And on stage she looked like a gradma. I'm happy that the first filming of the AND show never got officially released. That hair style was truly horrific.

As Rene himself said:

“Every time I saw her on stage *facepalm* if I would’ve been thinking only as her manager I would’ve insisted on both of them and really pushed my point about the image but Celine was so excited to change something, to start with a new look, and so into it and so happy about it that the husband took over and I wanted her to be happy and love what she’s doing and get into this project with the right  attitude so I said ok if you wanna do it then sure.”

In short, as her husband he loved her and wanted her to be happy. As her manager he knows image is a big part of showbiz like it or not and he knew she looked bad.

I agree that it wasn't a good look.

But I like that Celine took power into her own hands and did what she wanted. It was clear in the A New Day... documentary that she wasn't pleased to have to get extensions and then grow her hair back out and dye it brown shortly after she cut it off.

She's clearly had issues where Celine the person was in combat with her professional image. Just like Britney was and so many others.

I liked the short, blonde hair 50% of the time. (It all depended on the styling.) Brunette would have been safer, but she was feeling BOLD at that time and I 100% support her taking risks. Sad so many fans rejected her trying to express herself that way!

[CelinesDIVO5]

I guess nobody here has ever had a look that wasn’t great, so you all get to just talk sh*t about how “terrible” Celine looked. Got it.

It was not my favorite look of hers most of the time. There were plenty of times though where I loved it. However, I would never judge her or anyone else for that matter…for making a decision on their appearance that made THEM feel good about themselves.

Why take it so personally? It’s a discussion forum. People are expressing their opinions on a hairdo from 20 years ago. Their opinion. Not stating facts. Her own husband stated his opinion about it on a DVD documentary.

Celine loved the song “That’s Just The Woman In Me.” Wanted to record it for years and years. In my opinion it’s terrible and she should’ve just left it. That doesn’t make either of us wrong. Got it.

Some are much more harsh than others. There’s expressing opinions, and then there’s just being downright nasty.

Fair. I agree with that stance.

[MaiconSC]

I personally LOVE the hair in the TLDH and 1 Fille & 4 Types cover... It matches the theme of the album...

[smw]

I think the shorter haircut adds a little bit of intrigue to Celine’s look/career over the years. It would’ve been boring if she played it safe all the time. Moments of risk stand out.

And she had a lot of hair styles in the 80s and 90s too.

[tshlw]

I don't mind her with short hair. I just never liked her with blond hair. I feel it washes her out. The platinum blond in 2003 to me was bad, she could have had the same short hair and just with her lighter brown from the late 90s and it would have worked.

I actually disagree. I think she looks very natural in EJTE and I like the hair style, same for TLDH. It is the B&W approach that does not work IMO.

However, in OH she looked pretty bad due to the coloured lipstick and make up.

I have to agree with this.

Funny story, back in 2005 when I was really getting into her music, I visited a local CD store in my hometown looking for her albums. I remember One Heart, Miracle, These Are Special Times, and Au Coeur Du Stade were available in the shop. Also 1F&4T. Upon looking at the album cover, I did not realise this was a Celine record. I therefore did what I had to do! I took the album and put it in another self! I thought it was an insult that a boy band's album would be featured in the Celine Dion section of the store.   Yes, let's not comment on the fact that her name is written in capital red in the album cover - observation is not a key skill of mine apparently.
