OMG NEW SONG!! Celine Dion Duet with Tony Bennett

[Mohsin]

Can't wait to hear this new song. Should be great.

[sayyed]

You know what? I think Celine's current nasality fits perfectly for some jazzy stuff! And to be true - Celine always had had a nasal voice in some way.

 

I can't wait for IIRTW!

[xo1hrt4celineox]

After "Summertime" I'm so super estatically pumped to hear this song! I really wish we at least had a clip of it. We might not have a new album yet, but Celine and Rene know what they are doing...giving us these little jazz snippets here and there, leading us SCF's around by our noses, by the time there IS a new album, it's gonna be huge!

[nature boy]

Silly question, but is this 'Jazz album' confirmed or pure speculation?

 

Just wondering....

Yes sorry I got confused, I know about rhe TB album. I keep reading about Celines Jazz album and that was what I was asking about.

 

I may have got the topics mixed up though......

Tony Bennett was the original 'Idol'

 

By STEVE TILLEY -- Toronto Sun

   

 

 

 

 

Tony Bennett.

Move over, Kelly Clarkson. Before you were born — heck, maybe before your parents were born — Tony Bennett was television’s original American Idol.

 

“I started that way (on TV) with Rosemary Clooney, years ago,” Bennett said yesterday during a chat at a Toronto hotel on the heels of his Canadian Idol appearances this week.

 

“We were the first American Idols, in the ’50s. That’s when television was just black and white, there wasn’t even colour yet. We got a break on an amateur show, and as a result it started us off.”

 

(Yes kids, it’s true. Back in the day, TVs were black and white, Xboxes ran on coal and you had to use a telegraph to log onto your MySpace page. Be thankful for what you have.)

 

“Bob Hope picked us up, and we went on the road with him,” said Bennett, who celebrated his 80th birthday last month. “He gave me my name, Tony Bennett. He thought Anthony Dominick Benedetto was too long for the marquee.”

 

The rest, as they say, is history — decades upon decades of history, culminating this month with the release of Tony Bennett: Duets, An American Classic, a compilation of 18 standards made famous by Bennett that have him crooning side by side with the likes of Bono, Elton John, The Dixie Chicks, Barbra Streisand and Canada’s own Michael Buble. 

 

 

Unlike some “duets” that have two singers record their tracks at different times in different locations, Bennett insisted that his partners be side by side with him in the studio, with the song recorded in just a handful of takes.

 

“Elton John, he did it in three takes and it was right in there,” Bennett said. “He came very prepared, very professional. I like him a lot. He’s a good guy.”

 

So’s that Michael Buble kid. “He respects the old masters,” Bennett said. “He’s got a lot on the ball. He’s my favourite singer these days of the young contemporary artists.”

 

Bennett gave kudos to the Canadian Idol finalists he helped coach for this week’s shows, diplomatically saying he would have chosen all three to win. (Saskatchewan’s Tyler Lewis was bounced on Tuesday’s results show, meaning Eva Avila and Craig Sharpe will vie for the crown next week.)

 

But he worries a little about their futures, post-Idol.

 

“Unfortunately, they don’t have a place to break in and learn. Which is regrettable, because what do they do after they win? Where do they perform?”

 

The guy speaks from experience, to say the least. Curiously, and wonderfully, Bennett’s career has reached a new zenith in this his 81st year, with the duets album, a documentary on his life being produced by Clint Eastwood, a TV special airing this fall directed by Chicago helmer Rob Marshall, and even a painting of Bennett’s added to the Smithsonian’s collection.

 

Not bad for a guy who got his big break singing on TV. But to this day, nothing beats a live audience.

 

“They became my greatest teachers, the audience,” he said. “It’s addictive. You can’t wait for the next audience, to give them a good show.”

Interesting. I want to see the recording session with Celine.

[Bambam]

Celine is not mentionned in the article. And it is from a canadian newspaper.

 

Maybe she was dropped from the album.

 

[ANewDay...]

no need to worry: CELINE has not been dropped from the TONY BENNETT album...

 

- visit his homepage or,

- do a GOOGLE SEARCH containing the words CELINE and BENNETT and you will be liked to various sites containing information of IF I RULED THE WORLD

 

let's remain positive!

 

- ANewDay...

[smw]

Why in the world would they drop Celine?! She is the biggest name on the album.

 

It is confusing that they didn't mention her.

[stevo]

Her name is on the cover of the album so I very much doubt she has been dropped. I WANNA HEAR THIS BUGGERING SONG!!!

[Céline's Blues]

So he is duetting with Delta after all. Pity it's not on the official release.

[Macaronie]

Move over, Kelly Clarkson. Before you were born — heck, maybe before your parents were born — Tony Bennett was television’s original American Idol

 

 

Ahh is Tony gay? He seems to have more duets with male singers. (whos KD Lang haha)

[Céline's Blues]

Who cares if he's gay? More power to him. I want that song at last.

[anewdayhascome]

the song should be before the album...

:but there isn't

They mentioned the Dickie Chicks, and glorified only Micheal Bublé!?

This is a load of crap. The writer must have something against Celine or maybe he was a slacker at writing articles...

K.D. Lang

 

 

 

 

 

Oh! I forgot to tell you..  K.D.'s a woman... 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And that woman has a wonderful powerful voice!

[Joy88]

Please let it be the first single from this album!!!

[Ronny83]

Please let it be the first single from this album!!! 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, it's not. It's Bublé's duet the first single.

[CSCfan]

Uhm, people..Celine's song is most likely a last minute addition to the album.. that's why she's rarely mentioned in articles (and has the final song on the tracklist).. But she's definately on the album!

[René 2]

26th is soon

[felixwhoals]

Oooh. I'm really looking forward to hear this song! Another duet from Celine!

[Koolan]

the song should be leaked out anytime now.

[Bruno Portugal]

Amazon has finally the description of the album!

[Love,]

I am so glad it is official!

[thevoice]

just thought about one important fact - i read that tony and his guests recorded this CD live , he wanted it to sound like a live performance . i also read somewhere that he tried to sing each song not more than 1 time . in this case - do u think that we'll have a video of the live performance with celine?!?i mean - i want to think that someone recorded this entire thing
