karatedude317 Posted July 19, 2006 at 03:17 AM Posted July 19, 2006 at 03:17 AM Hey everyone! I've been thinking for a while, and particularly most recently about Better Midler's "From A Distance." I like that song a lot and feel that it is particularly appropriate for what the world is going through. Because of this, I think that someone (well....CELINE) should cover this song. I know that Celine would do this song much justice, and I think because of the times we are going through right now, that this song would be a big hit. Not to mention what a great job she would do singing it. What do you think? If not "From A Distance", should she come up with her own song that is similar? Quote

AllCeline Posted July 19, 2006 at 04:38 AM Posted July 19, 2006 at 04:38 AM OMG! Yes! "From a Distance" is such a beautiful song and I can totally see Celine covering this song. It's the type of song that suits Celine's voice well. Plus, it's so sentimental and just seems to be Celine's type of song. *Hopes Celine does a cover of this song* Quote http://i34.tinypic.com/9ybm.jpghttp://i54.tinypic.com/o56kr5.jpghttp://i54.tinypic.com/vhqqu9.jpg>> flickr | WordPress <<Celine Dion needs another ANDHC/OH album!No more Taking Chances--just do what works!

Koolan Posted July 19, 2006 at 04:47 AM Posted July 19, 2006 at 04:47 AM After listenig to wind beneath my wings, I've always wanted Celine to cover this song. It suits her voice, it'd be better than Bette's version Quote Please support the forum by ordering through our Amazon.com referral link below. Click here to go to the Amazon homepage.

catwomanrrr Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:17 AM Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:17 AM I disagree. I think if Celine sang it, it would be nice for benefit concerts. AND only that.It will make for a flopping single in this time and age. Quote http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n28/rhymereason/dreambig.jpg

mazceline Posted July 19, 2006 at 10:28 AM Posted July 19, 2006 at 10:28 AM no i am not a fan of from a distance, i like how she sings it but its not right for celine, now i agree with the wind beneath my wings, part celine did great at that Quote http://i16.tinypic.com/7yg8tv8.jpgSignature made by the webmiss of www.celinerific.comCeline is in 2 words MY ANGEL x x
karatedude317 Posted July 19, 2006 at 10:29 AM Author Posted July 19, 2006 at 10:29 AM I also think Celine would make a better music video than Bette's video. I just looked at it and did not like it. Quote
Moleque20 Posted July 19, 2006 at 12:49 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 12:49 PM IMO this song is good, but if Celine released it as a single it would be a big big flop... Quote Les étoiles tombent une à une. Mes émois sont de saturne.
ByuSmurf Posted July 19, 2006 at 02:04 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 02:04 PM Bette Midler is the SHIZNIT! One of my all time FAVORITE movies is The Rose! I would LOVE for Céline to cover From a Distance! Quote http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y157/byusmurf/siggy12-25-05.jpg
Tal Posted July 19, 2006 at 02:57 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 02:57 PM im sorry but this is the last song on earth she needs to sing. shes done more then enough covers in her lifetime and if shes going to do another, it should NOT be another schmaltzy ballad. Quote I live my life like a runawayI hide my dreams in a special placeI'm waiting here for my prince to comeTo save me from the darkness...
xo1hrt4celineox Posted July 19, 2006 at 04:40 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 04:40 PM however nice the song, I have to agree with you Tal...I really ish she wouldn't do so many covers, I mean she has how many different songs being sent to her and she has to redo old ones? (not that they dont rock, but original is better) Quote . . .Live to Love Celine Dion <3http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i294/xo1hrt4celineox/java05.jpghttp://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i294/xo1hrt4celineox/8839047.png
Shamrock_1982 Posted July 19, 2006 at 05:39 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 05:39 PM wat about if she released ''fields of gold'' i love this song its so full of emotion and meaning, she could capture this perfectly.... wat u rekon?? Quote
Tal Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:07 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:07 PM no more covers!! Quote I live my life like a runawayI hide my dreams in a special placeI'm waiting here for my prince to comeTo save me from the darkness...
Céline's Blues Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:10 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:10 PM The next song she should cover would fit her perfectly: "I'm Going Slightly Mad" by Queen. Quote http://i.imgur.com/dmreJ.jpg
becomplete Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:21 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 06:21 PM No, Celine needs to reinvent herself. Something fresh and edgier would be better. I also like "From A Distance" but please leave that song for Bette and let Celine escape from the old boring ballad corner. Quote
PopMusicBoy Posted July 19, 2006 at 08:37 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 08:37 PM I disagree. I think if Celine sang it, it would be nice for benefit concerts. AND only that.It will make for a flopping single in this time and age.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. I don't think this would be a good idea. Quote
ahmed Posted July 19, 2006 at 10:39 PM Posted July 19, 2006 at 10:39 PM good songfirst time i listen to it Quote
celinerific Posted July 20, 2006 at 01:50 AM Posted July 20, 2006 at 01:50 AM I don't think it'd be too much of a coverable Celine song. What I'm trying to say is that the song just doesn't seem to be for her. Quote http://i58.tinypic.com/2qbub9c.png @ErikaTran | Insta: aireexwp | erikatran.com
karatedude317 Posted July 20, 2006 at 02:23 AM Author Posted July 20, 2006 at 02:23 AM (edited) I do agree with those of you who say that she's covered so many songs. That thought did cross my mind, that's why I also asked if she should sing something like that, her own song. I was just thinking that what the world is going through right now that we needed a song like that or as I mentioned originally, something like that created by Celine. I also agree that she's done a lot of ballads. I understand all points of view and they are all valid, I just thought I'd throw an idea out there! Glad this topic is getting some responses!

smw Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:45 AM Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:45 AM This is one of Bette's signature songs. It would be like Bette doing one of Celine's songs. I don't think it's a good idea to release as a single...and hoenstly, I don't think it's a good idea even to put on one of her new albums. Celine needs all fresh, new, original material. But I would be curious to hear her rendition. Quote
DjCeline Posted July 20, 2006 at 10:15 AM Posted July 20, 2006 at 10:15 AM i agree with the ones who say that there are enough covers!! celine needs new songs written especially for her and for her new voice Quote http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b21/DjCeline/thereasonigoonsiggycopy.jpg http://therasmusforum.com/images/streetteam/promo/blackroses08.jpg http://therasmusforum.com/images/streetteam/promo/banner_streetteam1.jpg
karatedude317 Posted July 20, 2006 at 10:34 AM Author Posted July 20, 2006 at 10:34 AM Celine's got a new voice? LOL. She still sounds the same to me. Quote
IL_DINO Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:18 PM Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:18 PM No, please not this song. I like the song, but one version is enough. Now Celine is needing new songs. And if she will cover more songs there are better songs than 'from a distance' (maybe not better, but songs with more radiopotential...) Quote
Saartjuhh Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:34 PM Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:34 PM from a distance is a beautiful song, but not a song for Céline, i think.. Quote Xx...Sarah..-
Lawna Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:46 PM Posted July 20, 2006 at 04:46 PM I actually like when Celine does covers...I usually always think Celine sings cover songs better than the original singer! But I guess I am biased! But as for recording songs on record for release, she should sing only new songs, not covers.

ANewDay... Posted July 21, 2006 at 06:59 AM Posted July 21, 2006 at 06:59 AM FROM A DISTANCE, come on, really... i the year were 1985, or even late 80s, i'd consider it, but really... horrible suggestion, quite frankly... i agree: CELINE needs some of her own material, and work with that... - ANewDay...
