It is all a joke. It takes an artist that cares and a team that knows what they are doing to change things. Let's hope this day comes at some point!

Unless we bring back Rene from the dead, and make Celine care about anything other than nightly performance, I’m afraid that ship has sailed.

I echo your entire post. How hard is it to post somewhat personal social media posts, she had 3 young sons who could help her… I honestly don’t get it.

So somebody took this (terrible quality) video of Celine golfing…  https://www.instagra...mNhYmZtM3Nnaw==
more than likely it was Nelson or Eddy And somehow got that video into her teams hands to post… HOW HARD COULD THAT BE? even just 1-3 times a month.

Yes, RC is a well educated young man. Why doesn't he have a look at Celine's social media etc..
I really thought he learned sth.from Rene ��..

It’s really weird how Sony is handling her catalog. They just released an anniversary edition of Britney’s Oops!… I Did It Again album and are actually doing some promotion. I heard Sony is even hosting a listening party — which isn’t much, but compared to what they’re doing for Celine, it’s already something.

I just saw that Mariah is doing a Live Sessions performance on YouTube tomorrow to promote the anniversary edition of The Emancipation of Mimi too.

They’re all under branches of the same label. And although I do believe Celine’s team is largely to blame, it’s clearly not just that. Britney doesn’t even have a team, and she’s already made it clear she has nothing to do with this re-release — but Sony is still going ahead with it.

WTH is going on?

There's a possibility/likelihood that at some point during her heyday, Céline's contract was renegotiated to the effect that nothing could be released without her approval (not that uncommon for artists who have a lot of clout, and I'm sure René would have been all over it).  That could explain why Sony hasn't tried milking the catalogue (particularly during the recent drought), releasing unreleased tracks, etc., and would mean that Céline and her team would have to actively engage to get anything to happen.  Britney likely has no input in what happens to her material given that everything was taken out of her control years ago (so Sony can do whatever they want), and Mariah seems to be the one helping to drive the train on her re-releases (so she's actively involved in the final products).

It's also possible that they don't want to release anything because they keep thinking they're gearing up for something big and don't want to dilute the impact when it does happen.

Now, whether those are wise decisions or not is another thing entirely...

I can’t believe their second official WhatsApp post is just a random photo from 2007. It has no context, no purpose…just pure nonsense. You know what it reminds me of? Those random Céline posts on Facebook that look AI-generated or like clickbait pop-news articles. It’s all about engagement, whether the info is true, relevant, or totally made up.

I really thought WhatsApp was going to be a space for exclusive updates for fans who actually joined the group.

[PuraVida]

Check out what Mariah Carey posted on Instagram, with hashtag #Mimi20 ... for her anniversary of one of her albums. Her singing with nothing more than a piano on a soundstage.

The type of thing Celine fans dream of, if Celine were well enough.

I’m just not surprised it’s not the same crap reposted from her Instagram.

[sarit_celine]

Mariah always have took care for her fans. Always make suprises. The fans are getting what they get only to dream of. Who knows what may the reason for Celine's label to disrespect the fans time after time to not even release unknown songs recorded in the past.

[comingback]

Sorry, but Mariah can't sing anymore. It's a joke.
I don't know why Sony is so lazy when it comes to Celine's career��. I guess it takes two and Celine doesn't care anymore.

Celine doesn’t care a bit. Maybe she would if she really needed the money, but she doesn’t.

[manu23]

I don't think this is a matter of Celine not caring, but probably her priorities has changed completely. We all saw her seizure, imagine that happening to your body regularly in the last few years, how can you care about anything else than getting well or controlling those episodes? I still hope they have managed to control her condition and they are just planning a big come back. If not, at some point they will have to announce her retirement (at least from live concerts). No point on keeping everyone hanging if there is no hope in the horizon.

[PuraVida]

Celine was never interested in promotion, business, or marketing. Before, during, or after Rene.

All she cares about is singing. So it's all about the team she has around her. We were spoiled when Amazon Prime team took over and not Sony/Team Celine during the documentary era.

If she can't perform or sing, then the thing to do is open the vaults. But her team has refused to do that and I don't see that changing.

[sarit_celine]

I think at least Celine will do want to do some kind of a goodbye tour.

Several interview of  organisators and director of Eurovision mention that they thought till last minute she would come but did not due to her health getting bad at some point. The article said she was also supposed to join DJ Snake at the same time at Stade de France but her health also prevented her of honouring it.

Sorry but it's all bullish.... First I don't know why she would have come to the DJ concert ? Then regarding Eurovision, how can we imagine they thought until the last minute she would make apparition, since she did not move from Vegas ..

The only problem is she does not have a manager giving a clear direction to her career. Sorry but RC is too young and does not have experience enough for this job, and the others , well .... too many people with divergent interests !

It needs a conductor. Since Aldo's gone there is no one leading

I agree, it still feel like the EBU was forcing her to come with all these remarks, even though she probably declined months ago. The EBU played a dirty game, but that's not the only dirty game they played (uncalled disqualification Joost Klein last year, creating a hostile atmosphere for the press this year and still letting Israel participate..., the list goes on).

An top of that, whomever is leading the team, is either asleep at the wheel listening to the rumors up until day of of Celine’s “jet arriving” etc… OR at minimum they are too nice… If I was Celine’s team/manager I would’ve rained on their parade and released a statement.

They had to know what was going on, whomever is running the team should be doing daily google searching on “Celine Dion”’to find out what’s circulating.

[comingback]

John Nelson is Celine's manager right now right or did I miss sth.? And he is the Senior Vice President of AEG Live.
So where is he, what is he doing regarding Celine's career?

Apparently DJ Snake confirmed he invited Celine Dion to Stade France but her health did not allow her.
I guess the chèque was bigger to come to London

I’m sure Celine gets invitations daily.. that’s different than what Eurovision team claimed she basically accepted and flew in, when she never intended on being there.

I still want to know if there was a career related reason she was in London?

I invited her over for afternoon tea.

Swayed her with a packet of multipack of Lays, room temperature Fiji water and sticky toffee pudding, she simply couldn’t not take me up on that offer!

What about the bangerz and mash?

All joking aside, I think he trip there was personal not work related… was her manager there?

Yeah yeah I know.
But I guess DJSnake and Stade de France is Huge enough to not fall into the « Daily invitation » you mention.

And no way her London travel was for personal purpose

[Shamrock_1982]

Yeah he was there…

I still find it weird that RC’s g/f was there but no RC.

[emiliejolie]

I don't know whether  London trip was personal or pro but today technology allows you to record your voice everywhere you are in the word and share soundtracks without travelling the world to record in a special place. She did "Love again" french dubbing in Vegas.
