Sort of grasping at straws here, no?

I do. I spent quite a lot of time listening to LTAL in my car at the start of this year and then have moved on to Courage. The difference vocally is very stark. I never thought Courage was a vocally strong album and assumed it was the style of song, but her illness could explain it. It is still distinctly her though and when I saw her live in Montreal in November 2019 I didn’t pick up changes to her voice. I have to say that her English pronunciation of words has never been perfect.

[AdrienneM]

Her spoken English has degraded significantly starting in 2013 and her accent in English singing it started around 2015.

Her accent is very strong while singing on the Live in Vegas CD in 2004.

I think Vegas is the culprit - and understandably because 5 nights per week was insane. “Perfect” singing at that pace wasn’t realistic.

With that said, when she returned to Vegas in 2011 after a break - she sounded the best she had sounded since 2002.

She sounded even better in those Vegas shows than she did on her albums during that time.

I think on Courage, it’s a mixture of her natural voice changes and purposeful more relaxed vocals like Sia and Adele. For a stylistic shift.

The thing with when she returned to Vegas in 2011 was how happy she was. She just exuded happiness when she was on stage and I am sure that probably added to her vocals. I am sure the change in her vocals was also brought about but the stress and greif of loosing Rene.

Hello, I know this is totally random, & since Celine's birthday is later this month & all:

Since "Courage" will most likely be Celine's very last album of TOTALLY NEW songs that she has released, we should try to make one of the songs off that albums go #1 somehow, like when Mariah Carey & her fans did that with her dang overplayed Christmas song a few years back lol (sorry I have nothing against Mariah, & I used to love "All I want for Christmas is you", but that song has been played to death in recent years in my opinion! Moving on...)

But I remember Mariah's fans making that song #1 on the charts again, & I think we should all try that for Celine with one of the "Courage" album songs! So what do you think? Please let me know & hopefully it will happen, please spread this around to all of your friends, family, & other Celine fans on social media. Thanks so much!

How can you see the exact number of views the video has? To me it only says 9.9m views. It happens to every video that hits the 1m mark, then the exact numbers disapears and it only says how many millions a video has like 1.1m or 4.6m. When it hits the 10m mark it only says 10m or 11m.

Now that Liz Rodrigues is back on Waiting On You for the Love Again OST it seemed appropriate to repost


LIZ RODRIGUES: CO-WRITING SONGS FOR CÉLINE DION
Story by Karen Bliss | Thursday December 12th, 2019

It’s not every day that you get shouted out to 22 million followers on Céline Dion’s Facebook page, but that’s exactly what happened to longtime professional songwriter Liz Rodrigues.

“So wonderful to meet up with the very talented Liz Rodrigues at my show last Saturday. She co-wrote ‘Courage’, ‘Flying on My Own’ and several others for me. Thank you, Liz. – Céline xx…,” read the May 27 post accompanying a photo of the two of them.


Rodrigues has six songs, co-written with various collaborators, on Dion’s new album, Courage —  the aforementioned two, plus “Say Yes,” “Nobody’s Watching,” “How Did you Get Here,” and “The Chase.” She landed her first Dion placement, “There Comes A Time,” in 2008, on My Love: The Essential Collection, and has met the Canadian superstar several times “very briefly” at her shows,  but hasn’t yet had the courage, if you will, to have a full conversation.

Referencing their Las Vegas meeting shortly before Dion ended her 16-year residency at Caesar’s Palace, Rodrigues – a self-described “obsessed fan” since 1990’s Unison, Dion’s ninth career album, and first sung in English – says, “I promised myself I wouldn’t fall apart. I had all these things to say, and as soon as she said ‘hello’ and she took my hand, and said some beautiful things to me, I was just like [talks gibberish]. I don’t even know what I said. I was kind of speechless,” she laughs.

As a kid, the Toronto-born top-liner tried to hit “every single note” of Dion’s. Her earliest experiences singing live were in the Portuguese community, mainly covering Dion’s songs. She was similarly inspired by the “very emotional, big vocal” style of Portuguese fado singer Amália Rodrigues, and performed her songs too.  “I’ve always been really drawn to, and want to write like, that,” Rodrigues says.

But just two years after placing “There Comes A Time” with Dion, Rodrigues scored three hip-hop songs on Eminem’s 2010,  Grammy-winning, No. 1 Billboard album, Recovery — “Won’t Back Down,” “25 To Life,” and “Almost Famous,” contributing vocals to the latter two. All were co-written with fellow Canadians Erik Alcock and Chin Injeti, and L.A.’s DJ Khalil, with all of whom she had a band, The New Royales.

“You can write really heartfelt emotional tunes for someone like Céline, and the way she interprets them is incredible.”
While she half- jokes that she’s always up for writing a Dion ballad, she says it isn’t any more difficult or different a process to write for Eminem. “It’s really not,” says Rodrigues, who draws more on emotion for ballad-writing, and on story-based narratives for hip-hop. “I think we’re all more than one kind of person, one style of person,” she says. “We all have different experiences at different times of our lives.”

This approach and versatility has enabled the Universal Music Publishing Group signee to co-write songs for everyone from P!nk to Pitbull, and many more for Eminem over the past decade – most recently, her Alcock-Injeti-Khalil collaboration “Castle,” which she also sang on, for the rapper’s 2017 album Revival.

But songs for Dion are most often flowing through her creative bloodstream. That first one, her big break, “There Comes A Time,” came when she was pursuing her own career as an artist. Canadian icon Dan Hill introduced her to Swedish songwriter Jörgen Elofsson (Westlife, Britney Spears), who already had a co-write on Il Divo and Dion’s “I Believe in You.” Hill himself had co-written and co-produced 1996’s “Seduces Me” on her 32 million-selling album, Falling Into You.

“Even though I was searching for who I was as an artist at the time, I always loved to write,” says Rodrigues. “I’d been out to Stockholm a few times, and when we knew Céline was looking for songs, we were writing for her. You can write really heartfelt emotional tunes for someone like Céline, and the way she interprets them is incredible. That’s why she’s able to reach people the way that she does.”

Anyone familiar with Dion and the extraordinary loss she went through in 2016 – with her manager husband René Angélil, and brother Daniel passing away, only days apart – can hear how the lyrics in several of the six songs Rodrigues co-wrote could apply so personally to the singer.

“Courage” – which Rodrigues co-wrote with another Canadian, Stephan Moccio, and Alcock – begins with these words:

I would be lying if I said “I’m fine” / I think of you at least a hundred times / ‘Cause in the echo of my voice I hear your words / Just like you’re there/ I still come home from a long day /So much to talk about, so much to say / I love to think that we’re still making plans / In conversations that’ll never end/ Courage, don’t you dare fail me now / I need you to keep away the doubts / I’m staring in the face of something new…

“We wrote that 100 percent with Céline in mind,” says Rodrigues. “We sat in Stephan’s piano room with the lights dimmed, and really tried to give her something that she would want to say and connect to. It was a mission to dig really deep. We talked a lot about what somebody would need to hear to empower them.”


The same goes, she says, for “Flying On My Own” (a co-write with Elofsson and Anton “Hybrid” Mårtensson) and “Say Yes” (written with Elofsson years ago), two songs about being okay,  single, and bravely getting back out there, the latter about wanting to experience love again but pushing it away. Similarly, “The Chase,” co-written with Torontonians Craig McConnell and Jessica Mitchell, is about letting your guard down.

“It’s really hard to see things from their perspective,” Rodrigues admits. “You can make assumptions, but then relate them to either other stories you know of, or things in your past, or things that you’re going through. Again, it was one of those really relatable concepts.”

“Nobody’s Watching,” on the other hand, another collab with Elofsson, is just an empowering slow groove that could’ve landed on an album by Camila Cabello. “That one was, for me too, left field,” she says.  “I had no idea that that song would have been chosen. We were surprised. I’m glad that she got to have some fun with a song.”

Recently, Dion was in Toronto for the first of two shows at Scotiabank Arena. Rodrigues got a chance to hear “Courage” performed live in her hometown and meet Dion — again.

“I did see her for a quick meet-and-greet backstage, right before the show,” says Rodrigues. “We exchanged a quick thank you and hug. I didn’t fall apart this time. She was as graceful as ever.”

Also worth a repost as The Elev3n from Soul are back on The Gift

INSIDE THE ELEV3N'S CREATIVE HOUSE RECORDING STUDIO

Another career highlight so far was working with Celine Dion:

“Being in the studio with her was probably one of the top three moments of our career,” he beams.

“She's such an amazing person, she's so funny – she's a goofball. You would never expect it! A lot of the time with artists, you send them the song, they record it and then send you the files back. But Celine always likes to work with the producers that make the song, so we had to fly out to Vegas and stay at the Palms,” he grins, shrugging his shoulders.

“We were in the studio till the wee hours of the night with Celine Dion. It was really cool because you learn that every artist is human. I’ll never forget, there was one moment in the studio where she was going through some takes and there was some second guessing on her part, and she was like, ‘I don't know if I can really nail this one part’. I'm just like, ‘Holy crap. Celine Dion is saying ‘I don't know about this one part’.

"At that point, like every great producer, you have to rally the team sometimes. I went on the talkback and I was like, ‘You're Celine Dion, you can do this’, and she was like [here he adopts an impressively decent impression of the Canadian songstress], ‘Oh my god, I'm Celine Dion. Yes, I can do this!’ – and she nailed the next take.

"I always remember that moment because it just goes to show, no matter who you are and how big you are, we all have vulnerable moments. We're all not perfect all the time, so it's just working through that. That's one of the biggest processes in the creative world: how you work through the hiccups and the road bumps and navigate to the finish line.”

and a little bit of Dan Wilson who's back on Love Again

Dan Wilson Interview: Inside Songcraft, From Adele to Nas

I read in one interview that Liam Gallagher basically forgot about your plans to collaborate, and you wound up writing some songs that morphed into the latest Semisonic EP. How often are you able to repurpose something? Do you have a big briefcase full of songs that you’re showing around, like a traveling salesman?

That’s interesting. I think about [hitmaking songwriter] Diane Warren, who has a sort of famous library of existing songs. Legend has it that, even now, when people want to see if Diane Warren has a song for them, she’ll look through the list and say, “These are the three you must do” — very much like a wizard in a Lord of the Rings movie, looking through some ancient library. I have so many songs, but it rarely occurs to me that one of them is going to suit somebody. I’m much more likely to get together with somebody in the moment and get swept up in conversation, or maybe they have a title or I have a title, or I have a couple lines of melody, and we work from there. It’s seldom that I say, “Let’s look in my briefcase full of songs.” But the world has done that. There was a song I wrote with Johan Carlsson and Ross Golan called “Lovers Never Die,” and it bounced around from person to person. And then quite a while after we wrote it, someone played it for Céline Dion, and she put it on her most recent album. That was not me pitching anything — the business did the pitching almost.

The "Courage" music video finally reached 10 million views on YouTube.

I remember you were the one doing this for all the Courage videos back when they were released. I did some too. When I saw the post about this video just above yours, I kinda expected it to be from you. Glad to see you’re back at it!

The ticket bundle thing though…I thought was fair for the charts. You were able to CHOOSE whether or not you wanted to ADD IT ONTO your ticket purchase. And then you were charged money for it. So, it was a legitimately purchased album. I think that’s a very fair way to sell an album. And a genius promotional tool. And ups the sales of physical units.

I don’t recall it being a choice, no. There was a choice to redeem it once purchased (as in, had to respond to an email sent some time after purchase and click “yes, send me a CD”),  but there was no option to buy a ticket without it.

[CourageProject]

Since a lot of us think the soundtracks of Love Again are basically Courage leftovers. Here is my album tracklist, if they were included in Courage. I'm not including Love Again song because it was recorded recently as said,

Flying On My Own
The Gift
Falling In Love Again
Lovers Never Die
Lying Down
Courage
Imperfections
Say Yes
Nobody's Watching
The Chase
Love Of My Life
For The Lover That I Lost
I will be stronger
I'll Be
How Did You Get Here
Waiting On You
Look At Us Now
The Perfect Goodbye
Best Of All
Heart Of Glass
Boundaries

[smw]

I've been loving these new Love Again songs from Celine.

I'd like to see more people's ideal Courage tracklists -- rearraning the existing songs and incorpoarting these new songs, since they were reocrded during the Courage sessions. (You can leave out your least favorites.)  I really think Celine's recorded some gems during these sessions... they just didn't nail the order of the tracks and now there's even more gems to include!

[tomantha]

If I recall correctly, this is roughly when some of the songs were done:


March 2018
Love Of My Life

April 2018
How Did You Get Here

September 2018
Lying Down
The Chase
The Gift
Waiting On You
The Hard Way

Baby

She started as early as September 2017.
Album was fully mastered on October 10th 2019.

And yes Sia's sessions were a different times cause they were with different producers.

Wow, so these songs are now almost 6 years old. That´s crazy. I don´t like this withholding attitude

Since a lot of us think the soundtracks of Love Again are basically Courage leftovers. Here is my album tracklist, if they were included in Courage. I'm not including Love Again song because it was recorded recently as said,

I did something similar in my new "Courage" Spotify playlist. I tried to keep the original tracklist as much as I can, but now I can remove the songs I don't like and it still feels like a complete album.

01. Flying On My Own
02. Lovers Never Die
03. Falling In Love Again
04. Lying Down
05. Courage
06. Imperfections
07. Change My Mind
08. Say Yes
09. Nobody's Watching
10. The Chase
11. I'll Be
12. Waiting On You
13. I Will Be Stronger
14. How Did You Get Here
15. Look At Us Now
16. The Hard Way
17. Love of My Life
18. Wicked Game

Bonus tracks (I haven't quite figured out where to place these yet, so right now I consider them bonus songs.)

19: The Gift
20. Soul
21. Boundaries

Leftovers: (songs I removed and never listen to)

22. Perfect Goodbye
23. Heart of Glass
24. Baby
25. For The Lover That I Lost
26. Best of All
