Céline's Blues Posted August 23, 2006 at 08:34 AM Posted August 23, 2006 at 08:34 AM From Billboard.com: Hello Fred, You must get quite frustrated with so many questions about the divas: Janet [Jackson], Whitney [Houston], Mariah [Carey] and Madonna. However, a diva not mentioned a lot is Celine Dion. I am a huge fan. Are there any plans for a new studio album in the near future? It's been three years since "One Heart" was released. I know Celine is wrapping up her Las Vegas shows but I miss her in the spotlight. Any word from her label? Could you also list the last few releases according to her sales figures? Thank you so much. I love reading your column. Thank you for thinking of other divas! Regards,Brandon Vernaz Dear Brandon, I not only have word from Celine Dion's label, I have word from Celine. Since her last album was released, there has been a shakeup in the executive ranks at her label. Charlie Walk was named President of Epic Records in December 2005. He reported to Don Ienner, chairman and CEO of the Sony Music Label Group, and Michele Anthony, president and chief operating officer. In June, Ienner and Anthony exited the company. Chuck Taylor, senior editor of Radio & Records and singles reviews editor for Billboard, asked Walk about the label's commitment to Celine as an artist and Walk reaffirmed that commitment. Last month, Chuck met with Celine and her manager/husband Rene Angelil in Las Vegas. He asked them if they were working on a new project, and neither Celine nor Rene said that anything was in the works. There was a greatest hits CD and DVD of Celine's French recordings released in 2006, along with a couple of new singles and videos recorded in French, which did well in French-speaking territories. Chuck reminds that Celine did record one new song this year, "Let Your Heart Decide," based on a French song from a 2005 studio album, for the soundtrack to the animated film "Asterix and the Vikings." The song has not been released in the United States, but you can find a video for it on You Tube. The only thing I can't give you is sales figures. Chart Beat and Chart Beat Chat can only deal with chart positions, per Billboard policy. http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/chart_beat/...t_id=1003019652 http://i.imgur.com/dmreJ.jpg

thevoice Posted August 23, 2006 at 08:46 AM Posted August 23, 2006 at 08:46 AM great!! they learned atleast 1 lesson .celine should take her time and choose the right songs , she should do it AFTER vegas with no schedule and no pressure . she would also be able to promote it right worldwide something she cant really do while in vegas 4 or 5 nights a week . and most importantly - i think it's a mistake to stay with sony - sony proved time after time that they couldnt care less about celine's releases and promotion . they prefer the young wannabes and not the real deal - celine should move to another label , even today labels will kill to have her cause they know the potential . she can also go independent and form her own record label - it's not like she doesnt have the money.
Teodora Posted August 23, 2006 at 08:48 AM Posted August 23, 2006 at 08:48 AM Of course they "reaffirmed" their commitment... After all, she does sell albums with no investment from them....one hack of a return of "investment" i would say . But I bet Celine will release a new album in the spring of 2007. She does have more albums than years in the business...so let's give the girl a break.

max24 Posted August 23, 2006 at 11:50 AM Posted August 23, 2006 at 11:50 AM Hey all you sexy Celine's fans Christina Aguilera's got new album - it's wonderful. You can listen to it while waiting for Celine release (I think she will put out a greatest hits album in 2008 and she will leave the music business for always after that - so better find new diva to listen to and adore). Celine is over because she wants to be over (musically).
Clari Posted August 23, 2006 at 11:57 AM Posted August 23, 2006 at 11:57 AM (edited) It's so weird not having a release this year! For the past to year it's rained releases! But I'm glad she's going to rest and not get overwhelmed with projects!! She has enough on her plate with AND.

Tal Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:26 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:26 PM Thanks for the news Sebby. I'm fine with this. A little relieved actually that theres no jazz album coming out, lol. I've had enough with releasing something every year. I want her next English album to be amazing and to include her own compositions. And we know that in order to do that Celine needs time in the studio and thats not an option for her right now while she's in Vegas. She needs to be very careful now because despite her success in Vegas, she's lost a lot of cred and popularity in the charts. And to release another quick hack job like OH would be another blow to her career. Her next English album needs to be something different and thought out. No new album now is good news imo. 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...
vivezpouraimer Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:42 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:42 PM I'm actually slightly relieved to know they're taking things slowly. And as for Christina Aguilera's new album....BLECH.... I prefer her last.
kathyc25 Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:47 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 01:47 PM I agree...I think this will give us a chance to 'miss' her a little bit, then when a new album comes out it will be spectacular Music Is Life...Live ItYou are the music while the music lasts. ~T.S.

thevoice Posted August 23, 2006 at 02:22 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 02:22 PM i'm glad to see that i'm actually not the only person happy about this news...i hope she wont release a new english album til the end of her vegas contract - which means not before the end of 2007...only then she'll be able to promote it right and choose the right songs.

incalculated fool Posted August 23, 2006 at 03:15 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 03:15 PM Celine to the top in three steps: 1) Dump sony2) Take a deep breath and some well deserved rest to write her own stuff3) Release a new album
Dansons Posted August 23, 2006 at 03:23 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 03:23 PM no new album? sigh~ but i don't think we can get it at the end of 2007she will let herself to do something she want to do after the showmaybe give a birth to a child or restso...make a tour? i doubt ithope she can record a new song for a single.a new song for fans as a 2006 Xmas gift.
Alice Posted August 23, 2006 at 03:56 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 03:56 PM I dunno what to think about this news. On one hand I prefer to wait longer to get a quality album, on the other it sucks that nothing new is to come

kdw123 Posted August 23, 2006 at 04:32 PM Posted August 23, 2006 at 04:32 PM This is such sad news. I didn't believe she was going to release anything this year since we hadn't heard any news. Maybe in 2007....and maybe never. Who knows? I still love her and will continue listening to her albums. I'm not giving up. I kind of gave up a little when she left the business in 2000 but there is no one out there to compare to Celine's voice, talent, and personality. So I'll wait as long as it takes to get a new album.
