Yeah I loved it too! I guess it was OK that she lip-synched back then! And it was very obvious to us fans as well!

But THE VOICE... Please don't!

and I'm fearing she won't have the time to rehearse with Ne-Yo!

Only that if she does.. That would mean more performances are on the way... How about the Grammies?

They sang live for the Christmas Special. It would be a mistake to lip on The Voice -- and I'm sure her team is aware of that.

i don't know the crazy ones, i'll try to see it..

didn't see The sound of music , how Celine's name was mentionned?

During the commercial break  Céline's performance was mentioned for the upcoming finals for The Voice.
If you watch The Crazy Ones, his character is much more subdued. The show must be doing well since it's been renewed but Robin Williams is better when he doesn't use a script. His stand up is much better

The Associated Press article on Celine has made it to Billboard headlines, and here's what it says about "The Voice":

Celine Dion Preps Performance on 'The Voice' Finale, Keen to Try Acting

Over the next few days, millions will hear a sample when she performs her new ballad "Incredible" with Ne-Yo on "The Voice." The pair will perform the mid-tempo ballad live on the Tuesday (9 p.m. ET/PT) season finale of NBC's singing-competition show.

Well, I don't if you have seen that article from contactmusic.com about the new album and her appearance in the voice....personality i don't like the headline that they have put  like "To Bounce Back From Album Disappointment" :wtf:What....?? ......not to mention... " Her first english -languague album in six years "peaked ......bla bla.... before plummeting"..........will hopefully rejuvenute sales·

i have to say:  ohhhh thank you for your article guy...these words have been very kind of you Probably that guy hasn't realised how is going her sales yet

Anyway if anyone hasn't seen this article, there you have:


Celine Dion Plans To Bounce Back From Album Disappointment With New Single And 'The Voice' Appearance




Her first English-language album in six years peaked at No. 2 at the chart before plummeting, but a song with NeYo and an appearance on the NBC singing contest will hopefully rejuvenate sales

Celine Dion came back with a bang with her powerful single 'Loved Me Back to Life' and album of the same name, but whilst the album and single drew considerable buzz when it was released in October, people seem to have forgotten about Dion without much hassle. In a bid to rejuvenate interest in her singing and her first English-language record for six year, the Canadian singer is planning a double whammy just before Christmas.

Having already heard the lead single form the album, Dion will give people another chance to hear what her album has to offer when she performs her collaborative effort with Ne-Yo, called 'Incredible,' on the season finale of The Voice. The pair will perform the mid-tempo album track on the Tuesday (17 December) finale, which airs on NBC 9 p.m. (ET/PT). As well as releasing the track as her third single from the album, Dion won't be done with the festive giving just there, as she also has another TV performance lined up after her appearance on The Voice.
Dion will feature on the CBS holiday special A Home For the Holidays, which looks to shed light on children living in foster homes over the festive period. Speaking in regards to her upcoming appearance, Dion explained after the taping of the show (via Newsday), "As a mom, I could not refuse (the gig)."


Don't get used to seeing Dion around during the festive period too much though, as the singer went on to say how she harbours no ambitions to move into music theatre any time soon. Referring to Carrie Underwood's recent outing as Maria in NBC's live version of The Sound of Music, the Canadian singer told of how she is "not crazy about musicals" and that she has no desires to be a part of any future shows in the same vein as The Sound of Music.

Bla Bla Bla...

Yeah, it's not a big album in the US, so what? it will be one of the 3 best-selling albums by a female artist WW!!

disappointment? I don't think so!

[LuisMa]

The stupid article says that people have forgotten about Dion, and the fact is that the album is still Top 40; had it dropped out of the Top 200 in 5 weeks or less, yes they can say all they want, but they could save that crap for another moment, as the album hopefully is far from over. And it's too soon to label it a flop. If it's 20+ weeks and it hasn't rebounded, ok, write what you want, but now wait a few weeks and see.

I still have hopes after the amazing promo.

THIRD single?? LOL

[Kyle_Jared]

I had a gut feeling prior to the release of LMBT she would have a hard time hitting 100k and I adjusted my prediction to 135K or so. Which was inflatted as I thought "She's Celine, so she'll probably do north of 100K".  Yet she opened with 77k....surprised me, yet not over the top shocked as I had a 'gut feeling' it was going to be low.

Likewise, while I think the NBC performance on the Voice and will help, and the CBS home of the holidays will create some exposure, I'm not expecting a huge surge on the charts.   I think we will be fortunate that she'll do 40-45k after these appearances; if we're lucky.   This week, after hit's daily double starts reporting today, I think she will be lower again; (coincidentally, I had a dream last night she was no. 51 on the Billboard 200; hope not a prophecy of things to come LOL).  Nevertheless radio is not playing her and I dont think the CBS special will be highly rated (watched)  Biggest impact will probably be the Voice.

This weeks sales prediction in the U.S. 17K
Next week and final before Christmas : 37-45K

[homerton]

who cares about US? the album is doing very well and extremely well in UK, a very hard market. If America are not so keen then that is their problem. Celine must take note and come to base herself in the cultural hub of things i.e Europe not Amercia. (By the way I do love America for hoilidays and adore American people! I secretly would like to live there!) She is a much bigger seller in Europe and in UK the success is amazing! Her best selling
album for years.

[Bóól'át'í]

Unfortunately I agree. Several weeks ago I said the album is dead and nothing would suddenly make it a monster seller. The Voice and her CBS special wont do that. Heck, even Black Friday week only helped a little with 30k in sales. At this stage, it's flat-lining and it's a shame because the album is her strongest in years.

Talking about the US of course. Canada and UK love her.

Do we know whether she will be on today or tomorrow? I need to get a dose of sleeping medication now in case she's on tonight.

[celine4evauk]

It's a pity CBS don't give her her own tv special anymore. Its all Buble, Buble, Buble every year. Reckon that would've been good for the album - remind the US why they loved her. 5 mins on a tv show doesn't always do enough.

[LukeD]

Hopefully, this week's promotion will ensure the album will reach Gold (500k) by the end of its run, probably sometime next year. If she manages to do so in US, then worldwide the album sales can easily surpass the 1.5m mark (Given the fact she sells over 400k in Canada, 250k in Uk and 200k in France) and the album will officially be a successful release. The game is on, people!

[Xpresso]

Luis, celinedion.com says she will sing on Tuesday... but who knows, they could have it wrong!!   But I think it's correct... the 3 finalists will sing on Monday and then on Tuesday we get the results and Céline!

I agree I would have loved a CBS special of "Loved Me Back To Life" but having a 5 minute spot on the biggest singing competition in the US with 14,000,000 + viewers is probably the only thing promotional wise that could help "Incredible" single and "LMBTL" album! A "LMBTL" special would not garnish that many viewers! I think this and "Incredible" is Sony's / Celine teams rabbit in the hat so to say.  I truly believe they were waiting on a plat form like The Voice to introduce the duet with Ne Yo because he is a current artist and is still popular in the mainstream general public.

It really is the perfect promotion for the single and her album. The album deserves at least one more shot at people hearing about it before she heads back to Vegas -- and The Voice is as big as it gets in the US right now.

It will be a great performance. NeYo adores the song and Celine. Celine is always great when duetting. It will be a pleasant surprise to millions of people.

Her team isn't aware of much these days. For one, there has been no f****** video's for this album, I can't believe how that can even happen. So her team, not the brightest people out there.

not sure about that cause if they were gonna make a video like i drove all night or taking chances then better not make it at all, and the lyric video is kinda great bad it didn't get any views

LOL at "kinda great"

I think the TC video had a nice concept, but the execution was a bit meh. Some great parts, others not so great. At least there was a storylined video, which I hope we also get for this era.

If Sony plans on spending some of the litte money left over from Beyoncé's video budget, I say spend it on Incredible... which is probably the only single that could be played on radios in the US... But Sony better send that song to Top 40 radios even if they don't  want to get her on Top 40... Doesn't hurt to try!!

They have $50, $40 for the blazer, and $10 for the hairstylist to work on her bun.
