I believe he also did the IACBTMN/TPOL medley.... That was def one his few highlights!
Also loved the USF arrangements of the "Je danse dans ma tête/Des mots qui sonnent/Incognito" medley and "Je crois toi".

Playing devil's advocate here: although I also believe Scott brought more life to most of the songs, Mego's influence was kinda really limited because of René. Scott was "lucky", René wasn't as hands-on when he came aboard, although IMO, he could've done more (after 2017).

I thought Scott did that medley. Probably because it was so beautiful.

Idk. I just never really cared for Mego’s arrangements ever.

Since we're on the topic, I want Celine to have an album done by LP. A full album. She would be way better than Sia. I think Sia's kind of passed her prime in terms of songwriting. Same for Dianne probably.

[ryba]

Please no LP. I think it's toatlly the wrong direction. Celine is a golden voice. LP is a totally different direction

Out of the three, if you had to have an album entirely written by one of them, who would it be?

To me, Change My Mind is exactly the type song where Celine shines. Modern enough but classic Celine too.

No Mego was still the band leader and was responsible for that medley when she did USF (July  '13). Scott joined in '15 (or 14'?)..

I Love Mego’s arrangement for MHWGO instrumentals with that electric guitar in A New Day

No, Scott did USF before he joined the team. See the Dion family medley, 1:25 "Scott, quand tu veux!"



IMO Mego was a good band leader, but not equipped to lead a full orchestra.

There was no Dion family medley during Une Seule Fois. I was there and the only guest she had was Jean-Marc Couture during J'Irais ou tu iras. Scott did do Céline sur les Plaines in 2008 which was for Quebec 400.

the lyrics as I can make out over Diane talking are

Are you expecting some kind of perfect perfection.
Can you expect anything less.
Now you think that I can...from my hands...all I can do, is do my best.

I'm only human,
made out of flesh and blood

I bruise, I bleed, I'm not a Superwoman
Can't be your Superwoman
I'm strong, I'm weak, I'm not a Superwoman
Can't be your Superwoman
I'm just me



It almost feels like Diane wrote a sequel to Soul

I find myself listening to this clip over and over...
I think I'm just eager for new Celine content!
It does have some similarities to Soul, but I think I'll like this new song more.

I caved in, I had to hear it. So far I liked what I heard can we pray for a video clip? (I'm giving up on the idea we will get the LD video).

I am SO ready to hear this new Diane Warren song in its entirety.

[blacktooth]

A lot of us are waiting!

We need a new song seriously... I cant get over the previous unreleased powerful ballad "PMLALS"

[jpatdeleon09]

"Are youuu expectching some kind of perfecsht.. perfecshaun"

Can't wait

[Celinelife]

[Shamrock_1982]

She said the first quarter of 2021 so hopefully soon

This reminds me of how we waited through more than 2 years of postponements for Courage to be released (and just when we thought that LMBTL had been excessively delayed).

[beelee]

I suspect that Diane will release the album around the Oscars, which is scheduled for April 25. It’ll be great promo for her, especially if she finally wins.

[Ajax]

This sounds so so bad.
I can't believe we're still there with such basic and mediocre songs, after all those years. While critically aclaimed artists finally begin to show love and interest toward her. She's still there doing those bland and generic songs that destroy the already low credibility that she has in term of repertoire. She has no taste that's not possible.
It will always be her worst fail. Her english repertoire. René did fail to bring her any artistic credibility, recently everyone gave her a hand to collaborate with her and she's still there doing, choosing such a mediocrity, with zero ambition.
At least before, it was s*** with a crazy beautifull voice, but this, really ? I'm even asking to myself if the voice and prononciation is not even worst than the song itself.

Warren is a good artist, but she's dead artistically the day she thought she could have an Oscar with Unfinished song. As basic, mediocre, generic and childish as this new song.

Well that's a bit rude and not everyone agrees with you I'm sure. I love Unfinished songs and really looking forward to this new song (superwoman like it maybe is called)

Who says she was trying to get an Oscar with Unfinished Song? Maybe it was more about creating a catchy upbeat song and not about a potential award.

Well, I know. I know also that by saying this I will get the answer that it is subjective, a matter of taste. Of course, this is an opinion. Anyway, I will also always respond that it is not that much about liking the song or not. I may enjoy this kind of song and still think that it is really, but really bad.

This is honestly the point in Céline's carreer that can really upset me or I would say, makes me sad, even unconfortable. A big part of her english repertoire. I can't with the fact that she chooses such generic songs. And know that I see the hypes she can generates, some artists out there looking at her.... And her making this particular choice, now ? Bringing such a generic, outdated, dull production ? That really makes me sad about her artistry.
A bit upset also cause she is just the biggest vocal instrument on earth. This is just what she is. Her musicality is out of this world. She should have been an object of experiments for so many different composers and so many styles. I'm more than OK to have her in a mainstream pop vocalist field.... But how can we not have even one EP, 2/3 songs in a whole 30 years carreer that really brings something else ? A particular collaboration for one song, an EP maybe, just one album ? With a jazz, Opera, metal, gipsy, acoustic, orchestral, avant garde, underground.....Put whatever you want. Something that would attract a new crowd or a new eye and reviews by new magazines, journalists. Aclaimed or not. We have absolutly nothing. I don't think I can think of any other popular world star like her with such a generic repertoire. They all lived, experienced at one point in their carreer, for one song, one project, collaboration, EP... This artistic collaboration that brought something else. Like, there is a failure somewhere in my mind.

Warren is so dead artistically that she's now nominated to an Oscar with IO SI (SEEN) sang by Laura Pausini, being the favorite to win after already won Golden Globes and several other awards.

Okay I get your point, I would also like Celine to experiment much more. Maybe not a full jazz album, but yeah why not en EP with 3 - 5 songs and let the world see what a great artist she is, someone who's not forced to be at one field in the music industry. Someone who is able to just do what one wants to do

[smw]

Celine doing an EP with 5 jazz songs is a great idea.
It's interesting how she didn't take a stereotypical route.... doing a duets album, more Christmas albums, etc.
However, at this point in her career, I do think Celine should just do whatever she wants to do.
Like Cher doing the ABBA cover album. Or Barbra doing the Broadway album.
Celine should just record whatever music she feels passionate about and the fans will enjoy it if she enjoys it.

No one said that. I was referring to what Diane said when Unfinished was presented to the Oscar.
