Can we create a topic that's just for posting news about the new English album, and a separate topic for discussion of that news?  I've seen something similar done in TV show message boards (i.e. two topics - one "spoilers only" and one "spoiler discussions") and it works really well. This way, people can see the news quickly without getting into all the involved debates on the current New English album thread.

from celinedionitalia twitter:

BREAKING NEWS: Celine Dion's team still looking for songs. Final decision for English album to be taken in 3 weeks.

[chocolatechip15]

On Twitter, Brad Steenblok (http://www.pcaproductions.net/)  said he is writing a song for Celine, and that her label's looking for outside writers for a big hit. He was asked when her new project will be out, and replied that he wasn't too sure -- that he had "3 weeks left to submit, then a bit for their decision, contracts, cutting the record, etc."

Jeffieboi, on May 25 2012, 09:19 PM, said:

Can someone please translate this?

“With Marie-Christine, the latest news from Céline Dion, who’s extending her stay in Las Vegas.”
“Yes, we’ve had some very good news this morning. So, she’s extending her show in Vegas: they didn’t want to reveal the number of years or the details of the contract, but René Angélil has said: “Yes, she’ll be there for a few more years.” – so it’s been renewed on a long-term basis. At first, the show was going to be three years, 70 shows a year. But for now, Céline will return to the stage June 9th until August 19th before heading back to Florida for, no doubt, the start of her son’s school. And also two big album projects: one in French, one in English. We don’t have any dates, but we know that they’ll come out in autumn; the French one will come out a month before the English. And we’re waiting excitedly for new material from Céline, it’s been quite a while. And, while we’re on the subject of Céline Dion, the Production J documentary “Céline: Three Boys & A New Show”, which we saw here [in Québec] on TVA, aired in France on Monday on France 3 and drew in 3.5 million viewers, which made up 12.9% of the total viewers at the time – which is very impressive, because normally on Monday nights France 3 only draws in between 4% and 8% of the total viewers. So that’s good news, and again a good viewership for the Production J documentary.”



(I don't know how to post comments on YouTube, so if somebody wants to post this with the video that's fine!)

[lucassfilho]

Les Red Heads just tweeted a link of a article from Journal de Montreal.

According to it:

- The new english album will be called Water and Flames;

- Céline said that the water represents new songs and flame, the songs from Vegas;

- She's working with Stevie Wonder, Ne-Yo and Fraser T. Smith;

- The english album will be released before the french one.

Who's excited?

[ashtonelijah]

First, I thought it would be good to start a new, non-speculative topic for the new album now that we actually have a name and are getting concrete, official info. The "New English album" thread is full of speculation, very long, and people simply don't know where to read it. So this can be our place to discuss the official album with the official title and it's official information as we get it.

News from http://www.journalde...lbum-en-anglais

Celine Dion's new English album, set to be released in October, will be "Water and a Flame." It was written through a collaboration with British producer Francis Eg White, who works with Adele. Celine is a big fan.

"He wrote me a song. It was a great experience working with this man. He has a great personality, he is very generous and very emotional. This title is perfect this album in English water (water) for new titles and the flame (flame) for the songs that I do during my show. "

At the top you can work with the best. Celine fans will then hear her sing with Stevie Wonder, the American rapper Ne-Yo, and Baby Face is one of the major contributors to this highly anticipated album along with producer Fraser T. Smith.

"Celine's voice is at its best on these two albums in English and French. The first day, she recorded four songs. Which is phenomenal for me. She still knows how to impress me, "said Rene Angelil. Work on these albums was done this spring in Florida at Echo Studio. "The healing of my voice took three weeks. Then I was able to dive back" says Celine, very excited about these new albums.

Both albums come out this fall, in October. The English album comes out before the French. "The dates are not decided yet, confirms Rene Angelil. The remaining work on the two albums will be held in late summer at the back of the family home in Florida after the shows in Las Vegas this summer that will culminate on August 20th. Singing in English and French, is it different for Celine Dion? "It is like wearing jeans or an evening gown. You can not get a change of blood. French is my home, my roots. This is what I live first. French is a more domestic energy, more poetic. But when I sing in English, there are other emotions. As a singer I can not choose I need both. "

“Fans respond to my invitation by coming in large numbers to my Las Vegas show. But these albums are like gifts and I give them with great pleasure.”

Singing in French and English: The Difference

Celine Dion hasn’t had a record out in French since 2006. Now, she and Rene are excited about the collaboration of Jean-Pierre Ferland and Luc Plamondon.

“Jean-Pierre Ferland’s song, “I Do Not Need Love,” is a masterpiece,” says Rene Angelil.

“It’s very current,” says Celine. “It is the story of a man called to war who comes back and realizes that everything has changed. I am blessed.”

Both albums come out this fall in October. The English will come before the French album.

“The dates are not decided yet,” confirmed Rene Angelil. The reminaing work on the two albums will be held in late summer at the back of the family home in Florida after the shows in Las Vegas that wrap up on August 20th.

From Journal de Montreal:

Celine, the fan, talks about her admiration for Adele.

"I'm such a big fan, like the rest of the world. I find her talent amazing, huge, and I love seeing this beautiful, very sophisticated girl succeeding. Her voice is beautiful and her songs are beautiful, too. I admire her so much and I hope to meet her. For me, Adele being in the middle of new music is a breath of fresh air. A magnificent voice without artifice." Celine will honor her by replacing the Michael Jackson medley with Adele's flagship title, Rolling in the Deep. A major revival of her show begins tonight in Las Vegas. "I will interpret all of it. I find it all beautiful. This girl fascinates me."

Guys I'm extremly excited about this news I red on her site!!!  

CelineDion.com:
During April and May, Celine began recording songs for her next English and French CDs which will be released later this year. The French CD will feature all new material and the English CD will feature studio versions of previously unreleased songs from her Las Vegas show, as well as several brand new songs. "We do a lot of songs in the show that I've never recorded before, and people are always asking for these when they visit our Boutique, so it's great that we'll finally have these recorded.” Celine added, "I've also received some amazing new songs that I'm very excited about", and eventually we hope to put one or two of these into the show." We can’t wait! Until then, you can see Celine perform in Las Vegas this summer.

I must wondering which songs will be on the English CD, they said previous unreleased!! and from her brand new show! as well as the French one  
God what a morning to wake up to
