I agree with you on 90% of all the topics, Javito, but not on this one. I could not care less about an album in Spanish And I am sure 90% of her fans do not care as well. Many of Celine's followers don't even care about her French material, let alone Spanish...  and please no jazz album   As you said, her voice is not ethernal, and I don't want it to be wasted on such a snooze fest

I said this because these are/were the "pending" music projects Celine wanted to do not so long ago, but please replace them with "Ska" album or "Portuguese" language album if you want. My point was just to say that she could break that routine and do something out of the box for a change, something really different besides the formula "English album/French album"

omg a new french album would be amazing. if released end of 2020 it would be perfect. and then since she said she recorded 48 songs and only 20 are on courage, maybe she can release 2 14 track albums in 2021 and 2022! imagine us getting one new album from 2019-2022!! oh one can dream.

You should close this topic, this is only a stupid rumor, everybody in France knows that Goldman will never compose an entire album for her, he has already told to her and medias, they made it all in the past, he has nothing to share anymore with her, all the topics were developed. Two pages for nothing with a fake news...

Two pages of interesting discussion.
So no, you should NOT close the topic. Nobody’s forcing you to participate. Some of us are more interested in an actual conversation than pages and pages of concert play-by-play (“what song is she at?” 🙄), or reports of who bought tickets to which show and where they’re sitting.

And as already noted above, things have changed. So it’s not at all out of the realm of possibility.

Well, the promising development is she seems keen on releasing more material, and that can only be a good thing. More frequent releases mean more frequent experimentation. Spanish / ska / jazz / duets... whatever. It’s all a good thing.

[Flymetothemoon]

Speaking of Portuguese =)), there are times when she talk-sings in French songs, when some of her notes instantly made me think of Mariza, the Fado singer.

If Jean-Jacques Goldman is involved this can only be good news! Encore en soir song is probably the best she has recorded this decade. So if we get a new French album in 2020 it will be the 5th studio album in 8 years!

2012 - Sans attendre
2013 - LMBTL
2016 - Encore en soir
2019 - Courage
2020 - New french album

Just for some perspective, other female artists in the same period:

Madonna
2012 - MDNA
2015 - Rebel Heart
2019 - Madame X

Mariah Carey
2014 - Me. I am Mariah...
2018 - Caution

Pink
2012 - The Truth About Love
2017 - Beautiful Trauma
2019 - Hurst 2B Human

Adele
2011 - 21
2015 - 25
2019 - new album?

Christina Aguilera
2012 - Lotus
2018 - Liberation

Still some have the courage to say Celine doesn't care for her recording career. That's what I call a parallel world..

Preach.

Keep the releases coming Celine! All her French albums range from being good to being excellent. JJQ is guaranteed quality and success - a reason to celebrate!

Is JJQ the BBQ version of JJG?

I don't believe it.
Why a random belgian radio would be informed of this thing? Other medias would be more in the know.

EUS was a nice song... but not as good as his previous work with her - just my oppinion.
So another whole album... Meh.

EUS is one of my favourite French songs of hers. I don't see it being inferior to the other songs he wrote for her, but then again French isn't my native tongue.

I really don’t understand why she doesn’t do a JJG medley in her Anglo shows. She already has the spiel on Jean Jacques Goldman and “the biggest song of my French career”, she could easily do PQTME, EUS and one other. I get people don’t know French, but music transcends all languages!

I would LOVE that so much!

She probably never would, but if she does wind up back in Vegas some day it would be so cool if she ran two different shows - one English and one French.  The same way Lady Gaga did one Jazz and one Pop version during her run.  Dreaming...but it would be so fantastic!

Yeah... I've been singing that refrain for a while... don't thin she or her team are listening.
In all seriousness though, I really do believe if the French shows were clearly advertised in advance they would do very well. Many of us would make the effort to go to those if that was an option.

Definitely!  Maybe if she scaled down to a 1,000 seat theater like she's dreaming of someday...she'd have more confidence in selling out a French show in the US.  I'll just keep dreaming and hoping.

I would LOVE to see a Celine French show! Unfortunately my budget doesn’t allow for travel unless she’s rather close, which is why I’m so thankful for this tour. I would adore that though!

There’s a small theatre here in town and it’s simply gorgeous. She needs to come! I get theres not a huge pull here but like come on! And we’d all be so close, up close and personal () I think it would be a fabulous idea though.

And especially if she were to do it in certain markets. Like, I have no doubt she could sell out some (smaller) French shows in a city like New York. I hear French around me all the time. And every time I go to the opera, for instance (which isn't that often, but still) it always amazes me that they easily fill that massive Met venue for, like, 4 hours of singing in a foreign language. (And by the way, like many opera venues these days, they have in-seat subtitle screens in case she's concerned with people not following...)

What I don't get is that Lara Fabian is doing US dates now with a primarily French show! If she, why not Céline!??! I guess it has to be advertised heavily as a French show, cos otherwise all the hausfraus will complain!

I mean, I saw Coeur de Pirate fill a fairly major venue in New York with an entirely French show. And it's not like she's a household name in the US.
If she can do it, certainly Celine can.

I’d totally be down to flying to NYC for a French show. It’s a 2 hour flight for me and I could get a flight/hotel for cheap. Celine, please do it!!!

Honestly I think at this point she wants to keep them separate in the US. I would die, and my bankroll also, if she ever got the nerve to do it in the States. Does anyone remember when she filmed the special in Vegas and the turnout was dismal? Maybe that’s why she’s reluctant??

[fred]

Can't we enjoy the Courage album (not even out yet) before we start craving yet another album???

It'd be great if she'd do a Carnegie Hall French concert a la Judy Garland. I'm sure she can sell out a "une soirée à Paris" in a New York Theatre. Even if she has to advertise some Brel & Piaf covers. Americans would go nuts!

It's a bit different for Operas since there are only a few famous english ones (Nixon in china, Dido and Aeneas); at least in Europe, though I didn't notice a lot of english sung ones in the Met's seasons (I might have overlooked them, tbh). Italian, French and German seem to dominate the field.
Besides, you hear more the notes than the actual words, and are supposed to already know the libretto - or at least the argument.

Or if it is a Philip Glass' Opera, then there's no words and no story.
