"Taking Chances" album - Official Topic

[Céline's Blues]

Still doesn't mean they will let her sing complete trash... I mean they aren't supposed to. haha With her and "Rain, Tax" you'd never know, tho! BUT the problem with her existing semi-RNB-songs is that they were NOT produced by professional RNB producers and you can't take them as example of how she would sound. This time she's working with some righteous pros in the music buisness.

[anewdayhascome]

don't say like it!

you said excactly the same about D'elles and that if gategno made SNRQ it will be not good. But you were wrong and with english album you are also wrong

[firebird]

If she really wants to do R'n'B, I think the Alicia-Keys-like "heavy on my heart" thing would suit her a lot. It's a very bluesy and vocal kind of R'n'B.

[rodney2004]

what will happen will happen.

[Dionism]

I certainly hope not that many songs on the next English album will be R&B, because

 

1: Not-fans will not believe it, they would find it fake; Celine singing R&B for them will be like Queen Elizabeth of the UK throwing a party in the hottest nightclub in London. (Although we know Celine is versatile, other people won't buy it.) they will say: "look how she is trying to be someone she is not". That's the way it has gone before.

 

2: People listen to Celine Dion because she is Celine Dion, if they would want to hear real R&B they would play other artists. Celine should do what she is good at doing (that is why she sells so many cd's)

 

3: R&B would be a great excuse for Celine to go on singing in the back of her throat like she does more and more these days because they will of course all be easy-to-sing-songs (well, for her they will, like Dance With My Father)

 

I like the album to be versatile and I wouldn't mind 1 or 2 R&B songs for the variety at all, (I liked Dance With My Father) but not more than that. I think a themed-album is not a good idea, the last English album already was one (Miracle), now we need a new versatile album, because our Celine is versatile.

i love your signature!! it's full with all of those female singers that everybody forgot about , i didnt even know they r still releasing albums

[stevo]

Go for it Celine! Don't worry guys- she's not gonna turn into someone else- she obviously wants to try summit fresh. I'm all up for it. Let's not judge until she's sippping cristal on the bonnet of a Rolls Royce with beautiful, blinged up semi-naked studs canoodling all over her oiled torso.

I agree completely!!! I've always thought like that!! She tries to sing different things and every non-fans will think she's trying to be like someone else. I guess she has to sing what she likes to sing, but not forgeting who she is and why she is who she is!

[Mohsin]

R&B Celine.... i don't know whether to be worried or not....

[shasti]

i love how eveybody get so excited over someone's mere suggestion...

uhmm wonder what it'd be like if she really did it...

 

ha ah

Here is my wishlist for producers/writers of the new English album:

 

- Ne-Yo (confirmed);

- Jean Pierre Ferland (confirmed);

- Bryan Michael Cox and his staff (confirmed);

- Walter Afanasieff (confirmed);

- Quincy Jones (confirmed);

- Babyface;

- Wyclef Jean (something spanish-sounding à la "Hips Don't Lie");

- Billy Steinberg;

- Emanuel Kiriakou;

- Will.I.Am;

- Max Martin;

- Peer Astrom;

- Marius De Vries;

- Jutras Benoit;

- Marco Marinangeli;

- A-Side;

- Pet Shop Boys.

 

[Macaronie]

- Will.I.Am;

 

LORDI NO!

[thevoice]

u made few mistakes :

 

1 - quincy is not confirmed at all

 

2 - the rest of the people who u claimed were confirmed r not either - some of them talked about the possibility of a new project with celine but nothing is confirmed yet .

 

all we know is this - celine is really considering the possibility of making an RNB album...all of those names r not confirmed yet , for sure not quincy eventho i wish he would be there .

[Céline's Blues]

With that amount of producers, Ronny, she would have the sound like Beyonce, Ciara, Timberlake and Snoop Dogg together! On one CD!

 

I still think they're testing things out now. She isn't recording or something, just surely thinking about the English album. That's both good and bad. They still don't know where to go but they seemingly want hits. I do only hope they will get their hits without letting Céline sound ridiculous.

Quincy's "I Knew I Loved You" is confirmed, in a way, to be on the next English album, so Quincy is confirmed for me (even if only for that track). Ne-Yo is actually writing for Céline and working on tracks for her (as he said in few interviews). Cox and his staff confirmed in more occasions that they will be part of Céline's new English effort. The ones I considered "confirmed" are the ones we already have news about. We don't have ANY words from Céline claiming she is considering an R&B album. NO WORDS ABOUT IT!!! Maybe we will have 5-6 R&B tracks on 15-16 tracks for the full album. It's different from Whitney: she actually claimed to have given the whole production of the whole album to R&B producers.

[Macaronie]

Will.I.Am is that dude from Black Eyed Peas, Solaris.

- Jutras Benoit;

His first name is Benoît, not the other way round

On the first Josh Groban album booklet he is reported as Jutras Benoit, and even in that article siur posted about him working on tracks for Celine it was named like this.

Jutras isn't a first name as far as I know, but Benoît is (like Benedetto in Italian)

[thevoice]

u r contradicting yourself

if celine is really working with those RNB producers u mentioned , do u expect them to write her powerful ballads? ofcours not - they'll produce RNB songs .

 

and again , the fact that they r writing songs for her doesnt mean she'll deciede to record it

so again - the only thing we know is that rene called some RNB producers , producers who created many no 1 hits in recent months , and asked them to write some stuff . whether they'll take those songs and put it in the album or not - we dont really know .

 

and if u already mentioned "i knew i loved u" - i dont know how this song would fit in if it's an RNB album...so again - it's just too early to know...

Yes, my fault. I took it from Josh Groban first album. You can check by yourself on the booklet, if you have it. I'm sorry.

[stevo]

I don't really think it's a problem that she's working with these producers- they're gonna give her something Celinesque but funked up and modern- what is so wrong with that? Celine isn't dumb- she's not gonna make a fool of herself . I Knew I Loved You has been more or less confirmed by the official site so it's gonna stick out a mile if it's the only song of that style on an album of hardcore R n B- it'll be soft, emotional, but with a new 21st century rythm. I disagree that R n B producers can't give her powerful ballads- of course they can...they just won't be in the style of IACBTMN and that's a good thing cos that was over 10 years ago.

 

In one breath people say how they're scared of the oscar performance cos everyone will say 'oh God, that's all she ever sings...' and now that we have info on her producing an album that'll be up to date and fresh, people are jumping off a cliff.

 

When OH was released to UK tv/radio, one music channel said "at last Celine Dion has had a much-needed session with the fashion police and is singing a beat"- and that was OH!-one of the worst songs she's released IMO. With top-quality, currently hit-making producers on her side, surely it's an exciting, not frightening time. Everyone is saying 'R n B album' as if it's infected with some horrible disease- I can't wait for more news on this and some confirmation that these producers are on board.

Wow! Nice!!! Wish we could have this team! But WHEN Walter Afanasieff was confirmed to this project???????

[mirage]

think the album will contain many styles...

 

jean pierre ferland, jutras benoit, ne-yo, all diffrent styles...

only hope it will be not an ANDHC 2...

 

a disco song, a baby song, a ballad...

 

it must blend perfect together...

 

wonder what songs they write for withney... maybe we get some left-overs from celine or whitney haha

[kdw123]

I am so excited about the new English Album. This is going to be Celine's Best Album Yet.

[stevo]

OH YES IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really don't mind if she'll be doing r'n'b, soul, rock, pop, jazz etc etc, as long as she's making a new album. I take everything she sings as a big present for us, and we can't have her doing the same things all the time, even if they are really good. I just have one thing to say: remember how you slammed Gategno, or whatever it's spelled, for the French album and what a masterpiece he created. I'm sure whatever style she adopts, it will be damn good music!
