"Taking Chances" album - Official Topic

[fred]

Cuzz truth to be told it sounds very 2001 a la Destiny's Child Survivor era without them. Can't wait to hear the intro in HQ of this song when they post the full listening party or when the album leaks at last beginning november.

 

Finally someone who can hear what a real modern and hype song is.

Come on guys...Eyes on me is not that bad, and I also think that it sounds better than I'm alive, or That's the way it is. But it is not modern, fashion or hype AT ALL ! It sounds like a 2001 song ! Timbaland, Terius, Danja...make modern and hype sound...Even if you find it trash, the production is far more modern and innovative than Eyes on me. Try again Celine !

 

Well that is because she works with OLD people! Even the younger ones she has with her (Moody) doesn't seem o be able to bring any wonders, he did a bit lazy work with Alone according to me. A song of that popularity needs a lot of rework in order to outshine and make a difference to the original.

TC always does it like this. They release a clip of one song each day. I think its nice....we get a little gift each day. Its like Hannukah! And although we've heard these two songs, they're the 2nd and 3 track so obviously they're gonna start with those.

 

Oi, I just HATE Eyes on Me. I dont understand how people are liking it so much.

 

 

I think I know what the problem is Tal.http://smileyset.com/temp/PRINCESS/sleep.gif Are you sitting down when listening to "Eyes On Me"? Well, DON'T!!! You have to get up and move that body!!!http://bestsmileys.com/dancing/6.gif

 

Pretend you just walked into the greatest new night club and your the hotest thing that walked through the door!! You have to get yourself in that kinda head space to like this song!At least that works for me!http://smileyset.com/temp/PRINCESS/happy.gif

 

nooo no no no no no!! im sorry but for me, she just cant sell it! her accent + those mouthfuls of words just doesn't mesh well together. the background vocals are so cheesey and the overall production value is a bit generic. it sounds SO much like Beyonce's Baby Boy but BB has a great beat behind it and a more sultry vibe. Eyes On Me misses the mark imo.

Yepp I have always said this track needs a proper (NOT like TC) remix before released as single. It tend to feel a bit "empty".

From the spanish forum...

 

 

Important aspects that you must know and consider: How is created a album? The artist records an indetermine number of songs (a minimum of 20 subjects) but the producer does not give the final touch him of remasterización to any of them, denominating itself we give. All those we give are joined in only a CD, that will serve as sampling being sent a determined group of people to evaluate what songs please more. Each person evaluates each demo and gives her opinion, later with those results and with the final opinions of the artist and their musical advisers of the record company, tracklist is elaborated final, that usually is of 10 to 17 subjects.

 

Therefore, if they have chosen those songs in tracklist final of "Taking Chances" (and others, like which Timbaland composed), it will not be because the market was what it was requesting and the artist and his advisers were what they wanted. What happens with the rest of songs that are not in tracklist final? The most valued (between 5 and 10 subjects) also they are worked by the producer for the final sound that is wanted them to give.

 

Those subjects will be used to also commercialize them, but in other conditions:

 

- Like B-Sides of singles.

 

- Like bonus-tracks in some international editions of the album. Céline Dion and other artists as Britney Spears it usually does for the Japanese edition.

 

- Like hidden-tracks in the own album, being therefore a surprise.

Artists as Robbie Williams and Alanis Morissette always the last subject of the album keeps a song hidden when finalizing.

 

- As subjects of the disc but in a future special edition of the album, that normally leaves between 9 and 12 months later. Artists like Alexander Sanz, Nelly Furtado or Beyoncé have done it with their last discs.

In addition, this serves as relaunching to the disc and a great support for the tour that the artist will be doing.

 

Those that are not between the previous categories nor the own album, are worked by the producer and they are kept. Only for some great artists with a great base of fans, those we give come to the light after many years in some special edition great successes in format box-Seth and whose price goes up to around the 100? because are limited units. Recently they have made it people like Bob the Dylans, Nirvana or the Bons Jovi, and is very current who once in a while appear new collections of this type of Michael Jackson or The Beatles.

 

Then Céline Dion will do the same? Surely.

 

The album "Taking Chances" has 16 subjects. We know that in two Japan bonus-tracks will be. We know that it has recorded more songs. We know that it is going to make an extensive tour.

 

You give by fact that "Taking Chances" will have special edition in the second semester of 2008 and which it will contain unpublished songs. You give by fact that stops Christmas of 2008 will appear the DVD of the tour and that will contain unpublished songs.

 

You give by fact that will be more unpublished songs than they will appear like B-Side of the futures singles.

And you give by fact that in a future will thus leave a box for collectors with some title like "The Celine Dion Ultimate Collection" or something, in that will come some CDs with all we give them recorded throughout its race.

 

How is made the promotion of a disc in the radio?

 

The record company receives the CD-Single of the artist and evaluates through a econométrico study its impact in the consumer at the time of a possible purchase. Later a report detailed on in what emitting is made he is more advisable to broadcast single and in what hour strips. The radios reproduce the songs so many times as it is paid to them for it. Therefore, airplay of the radios costs money, each reproduction in the radio, the hour strip... Everything has its price. In Spain, at the moment, that a song sounds one week in Chain 100 costs 9 thousands? or in Chain Dial about 3 thousands; to obtain to a number 1 one week in ready the round between 85 thousands? in Chain 100 and 120 thousands? in the 40 Main ones. Therefore, that price that pays the companies to the radios must be amortized with the sales of the album (physical and digital), of singles (physical and digital) and of the politonos. In Spain there is no official way to know cúantas times to the week is broadcast a song between all the transmitters, but in the USA yes. A Web for such effect exists (http://w2.mediabase.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/C... 00&cutoff=1) that offers all the information.

 

In her you can see that the song "Taking Chances" is in position 97. Certainly, it is not a good data on the part of Sony-BMG. But the radio is losing importance yielding to him the throne to Internet. Nowadays many people use reproducers of mp3, iPods... and create their own lists of reproductions of songs without having to resort to one radio. Therefore, Internet is the only trustworthy source which we have of the success of an artist, the songs that lower more usually are most successful. Who it leads in Internet, at the moment a success can be considered. And what so goes to him to Céline Dion in Internet?

With "Taking Chances" not very well, the truth. The song is not able to take off although the promotion as soon as it has begun, when it does it is of supposition that will raise in the lists. In legal digital unloadings (and the illegal ones) he is not being hit but in the radios where already it has begun to broadcast itself it is giving that to speak. It is necessary to give time him until the exit of the disc. And you remember that in the televisions not yet he has appeared videoclip. This same week already will begin to see itself in some countries.

Then what will happen to him to the album? It is necessary to hope how the video in the television and the song in the radios works. But in Sony-BMG it seems concrete that the election of "Taking Chances" has been somewhat erroneous, that will not be hit like the "One" of Alicia Keys or the "Gimme More" of Britney Spears.sobre everything not having a great amount of enormous songs in the album.

Therefore, as soon as Céline Dion arrives at the Angels in the middle of November after its promotional pass by Europe, will be put to record the video of the second single to send it in the middle of December, before Christmas, and to take advantage of the excellent sales that Santa Claus always gives.

 

They sound four songs for it: "Alone", "Eyes On Me", "I Got Nothing Left" and "Surprise Surprise". Possibility that simultaneously fits the two are sent singles: one poper for the USA and more classic other for Europe. Third single would be sent for beginnings of the spring to impel the tour to its pass by the Australian Continent and Europe. Will survive the album the competitive sales navideñas? Which will be their rivals? Without a doubt.

 

The disc is discazo, with multitude of sounds that will please to all type of people and will go to more thanks to boca.a.boca. Their international rivals are several:

 

- Alicia Keys (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... company-keys-not-one): it is making the best promotion of the year and going to numerous events or are interviews or performances from principles of September. She is an excellent professional and she is very mimada in the international industry. Single is everything there hit where it is listened to and everything a success of sales. Its previous disc four years ago sold more than 9 million. Peculiarly, its disc leaves the same day that the one of Céline Dion so the battle is served.

 

- Aretha Franklin (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... antasia-put-you): she is one of the greater artists of all the times, removes new disc after four years and, in addition, it is of duets with, nothing else and anything less, Mariah Sea turtle, Mary J. Blige, George Michael, Whitney Houston, Gloria Estefan, Fantasia, Annie Lennox, Elton John, Christina Aguilera and John Legend. Discazo for the collectors and lovers of music will be everything. By the way, why it is not Céline Dion between the chosen ones? The disc leaves the same day that "Taking Chances".

 

- The Eagles (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... -how-long_music): new disc of this mythical group from 1979. Certainly she is an incognito one how the disc will work after as much time. There data go: that disc of 1979 sold 20 million but, sure they were other times; it is necessary to go to something more recent, and is recopilatorio his four years ago it sold more than 8 million. The disc leaves this same day 30.

 

- Mary J. Blige (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... -fine-new_music): its first single is very good, has one grandísima voice and its previous disc makes a pair of years sold more than 6 million anywhere in the world. Peculiarly, the disc will have songs of Ne-Yo and Timbaland. The disc leaves the 27 November.

 

- Kylie Minogue (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... hearts-hq_music): one of the great ones of the pop one of the two last decades that also return after four years and after winning to the cancer. It is the great bet of EMI Music for next the 12 months, it will have a beastly promotion and for it it will progressively remove the disc and with different bonus-tracks: the 21 of November in Japan, the 24 in Australia, the 27 in Europe and Canada, and the 12 of February in the USA and the rest of the world.

 

- Britney Spears (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... imme-more_music): although its performance in prizes MTV was pathetic, although the video is malísimo, although it is spoken more of his personal problems that of their music, although have gone ahead the disc to the 30 of October and changed tracklist to last hour to avoid more filtrations, although is not doing absolutely anything of promotion because Sony-BMG prohibited it... in spite of all it, continues being more one of the artists with fans anywhere in the world, single is one of greater hits of the year and the disc is best. Its previous disc four years ago sold almost 8 million.

 

- Seal (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... l-amazing_music): its previous disc four years ago was great flop selling only 2 million but this one very is waited for and only with oir single already porqué is known. It as much has a great base of fans in the USA as in Europe and will make a very good promotion. Its disc also leaves day 13.

 

- Spice Girls: he is recopilatorio but it will come helped thanks to a world-wide tour. They have fans anywhere in the world and its promotion is going to be best. The disc leaves the 7 November in Japan, the 12 in the rest of the world and it has already announced that the 15 of January will be a special edition only for the USA. It will have a very short life, in March no longer will be spoken of him.

 

- Nelly (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... aname-new_music): it is a rapero supersales as much in UK as in the USA or France and has a pop disc of great instrumentation with pianos and duets with as peculiar people as It brushes Springsteen, Janet Jackson or Mariah Sea turtle. Its previous disc four years ago sold more than 8 million. Also it leaves the 13 November.

 

- They last Last (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... single-edi_news): this British band has many fans in Europe, mainly in France, Germany and UK. In this disc they count on Timbaland and Justin Timberlake like producers, and its promotion is being very good. The disc leaves the 13 in the USA and the 19 in the rest the world.

 

- Wyclef Jean (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc... dollar-bi_music): this member of the group The Fugees has thanks to him anywhere in the world many followers, mainly in countries of English and French speech. The disc has duets with Norah Jones, Shakira, Mary J. Blige or Paul Simon. The disc leaves the 4 December.

 

In 2008, when Céline Dion begins the new tour and relaunches the disc with singles, what competition has?

It is hoped that for February they remove Madonna disc (with innovating sounds and spectacular tour again),

Mariah Sea turtle (are at the best moment),

Janet Jackson (trying to have better luck than with its previous discs),

Alanis Morissette (just as Janet Jackson),

Lenny Kravitz and Bryan Adams.

 

In March they will remove new disc Whitney Houston (esperadísimo disc after more than 5 years in that there is been in rehabilitation), U2 (it is expected another great disc and another great tour), Coldplay (at the moment they are recording in Barcelona), Dido (very waited for his third disc) and Jewel. And during the spring (April, May or June) the new thing of Michael Jackson is expected (it has been 2 years recording it), Moby, Oasis, Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Eminem, Lauryn Hill or Aerosmith.

 

So Céline Dion will have to remove good to a third and quarter single if it wants that the disc survives. In addition, all these artists will be of tour during 2008, many are also alive legend so 2008 will be a year that surely will not forget. My personal opinion of all this: "Taking Chances" is a great one, great disc and will be one of the supersales at world-wide level until end of year, later is all an incognito.

 

First single is not working excellently so the disc will be relaunched in sales in December, on time for Christmas, with a better second single. My personal bet is "I Got Nothing Left" because he is something novel in the race of Céline and would gain fans, its voice raises and low per moments, demonstrates its absolute control on the same one and the sound is very present and would serve anywhere in the world like single, in addition to being suitable for Christmas by that romantic air that it has.

My other bet is practically "Surprise, Surprise" by just like the previous one. The other usable song like single would be the impressive "Eyes On Me", not only by the voice of Céline but, mainly, by the magnificent production that would do, thanks to those Eastern sounds, that the subject was hit world-wide, but I see better as third single it to relaunch the disc in March.

 

The one that I do not see as single is "Alone" because, in spite of being very good, I do not believe that with her public wins since only he pleases to whom already they like Céline Dion and what she needs now is to gain new admiring followers and, to gain young public mainly.

 

Also I believe that surely for beginnings of the summer a special edition of the disc with some unpublished subjects is sent. One of those subjects surely would be the quarter single (perhaps some subject of Timbaland) and would serve so much to relaunch the disc as to relaunch the tour that at that time will begin by North American earth. But lamentably every time there is more people than she is not worth for music prevailing in the industry. To the discográficas it is much more easy to them to create a star of where some is no talent that to have to be holding to really. A record one is very easy to sink in the forgetfulness to which it is not worth for anything, but to a genius they do not take off to him of above to once have sent him. It has happened to them with Prince, George Michael, Michael Jackson and other many that have planted to them expensive, and do not want that history is repeated, because to sink to somebody great hill very many time and money.

 

They prefer to sell excrement, because thus when they must throw of the chain people will not have to think: what was of so singing? Why you think that they have been so many years without leaving a star that really shines? The art is not profitable, to put to a girl of 17 years in sujetador and panties to move the #ss, yes.

 

For that reason, Céline Dion is authentic, unique and it will always be there above.

[Davey84]

that who ever wrote that has a lot of spare time!

[fred]

I really give the fact that I doubt Céline Dion will do like Bob the Dylans in any near future.

 

Thanks for translating though, Miragie!

Just like with D'elles we'll be getting 2 clips a day. So tomorrow My Love and THE UNDENIABLE SINGLE CANDIDATE SHADOW OF LOVE FOR ME YOU ARE THE ONLY O---OOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEE.

 

 

in that case BRING ON TOMORROW!!! i am SO excited to hear both of these songs!! shadow of love is so catchy and infectious....i loved it from the first second i heard it! and i really love My Love. to me it has a real ColdPlay feel to it. i hope that remains when we hear the rest of it (or at least the 55 sec clip).

 

 

you love surrounds me, its everywhere

it is my shelter it is my air...

[bluestar]

Realese two different singles, one for Europe and one for Usa would be a disaster.

Celine will never shoot two different video, we're lucky if she does one, it would be just a mess.

They have to put their attention on one song and make it a big hit, if they start to release too many things at time all the work will get lost. One thing but made well.

How will she promote two differents singles with the world tour going on? How would she do with the That would be too much.

 

Nonsense, it could work, only if handled properly. Lots of artists do this and it's a wise move depending on the song(s). Remember HYEBIL & OH?

 

It's certainly possible.

 

remember Nelly furtado "loose album", she did that for each single.

 

and celine, if she wants to be a huge comeback, i mean, she has to work more and do more videos... without videos, the singles wont climb the charts... look to what happed to On s'Est Aimé A Cause (beautiful song but no video... so no popularity)

 

 

I know that many artists do, but we all know how things work for Celine. Sony hardly promote a single...how would it be with two?

 

Nelly Furtado is everywhere, Sony made her videos and songs tour the world, she's on every music channel, on every radio station, on every newspaper. Mtv always talk about her.

 

"Have you ever been in love" and "One Heart" was a floap. She didn't promote the two song in a good way, and the videos were shootted in one day or in some hours. I know she were busy with Vegas, but that's the point you have to concentrate on what thing and do it well.

Celine is the best of the best and she wouldn't need all this at the old times, when music was still "real", but now with all this stupid singers around, you have to hurry everything and make things in bigger. What she needs, I think, is to take a great song from the album, shoot a great video and make it a hit around the world. People has to buy the same single everywhere if she wants to climb the charts, especially nowadays.

 

It's hard to believe but in some way Celine Dion has to work harder than other no.talented pseudo-singer...and this is a very sad sad sad thing.

I think you all need to chill. Celine has said in the interviews of late that she has nothing to prove. She enjoys what she is doing. sooooo lets enjoy it as well....

[Céline's Blues]

Everything is a FLOAP! FACT!

 

Except "The Reason I Got On" which is a souly RNB number where Céline sings about driving apparently... It's 3:42 long. The length of the Japanese edition is 01:13:25.

Edited October 22, 2007 at 11:02 PM by Céline's Blues

[Javier_Natalio]

OMG that translation was looong! LOL at FLOAP! hahahaha.... changing the subject, when will Celine announce she´s leaving Sony and will do a Radiohead/Madonna thingy going independent... uh? when? Edited October 23, 2007 at 07:20 AM by wacko.javo

[firebird]

I really can't see Celine going independent, and on a sidenote what Madonna did has nothing to do with being independent. She just joined another company that offered her more money than Warner. She still has to pay her royalties to someone.

[Xpresso]

I love ALONE but not as second single!!! NO, NO, NO!!! It would be okay as the last single form the album!!

Celine has to release something new as second single. Either Eyes on Me (which is amazing!) or This Time. She needs to do it to change her reputation. How can Sony promote a new Celine and release a big-time COVER? TC is a cover with a small "c" but Alone is a Cover with a BIG "C" because everyone knows it - at least in North America...

 

Even if Alone would sell more, it just sends the "same old Celine" image to non-Celine fans (which is not good for the second single)!!! She needs to shock people with the next single!! An I think EYES ON ME would do just that!!

Ugh. I'm having the dilemma where her live studio recordings sounded so much better than what came out on the cd. at least what came out on TC so far cos I'm trying not to spoil myself. It's like.. they chopped off all her intonations in the song, all her feeling, like all the places where she breathed and had soul and attitude when she sang in the studio, it's like they completely just wiped that all out to deliver us the safe, tampered, edited version of the ballady Celine Dion we've always known. Like, What? I'm just praying and hoping they left TWIM as raw and guttural as I am hoping it will remain.

 

I really am surprised. Why let Celine experiment with new sounds if at the end of the day you're going to edit her to death until she sounds exactly the same? Her songs are different yeah, for sure, but all this excessive 'fine tuning' just makes it sound like she shouLDn't actually be singing the song and it even went and turned Eyes on Me cheesy, at least imho. But maybe that's just the way it is. Eh I suppose I'll change my mind anyway once I'm blasting the tracks on my speakers.

Edited October 23, 2007 at 01:02 PM by lyn

I agree. The fine tuning is SO apparent on the clips we heard. Both on Eyes On Me and Woman In Me especially.

You heard the whole album ?

The only song we can compare is Eyes on me and it's exactly the SAME vocals with of course a better production...

Yes, even to Romania . I ordered it too. If you're not sure, you can check the list of countries they deliver to on their Help page.

 

HMV will not overnight it as fast as amazon.co.jp

I think amazon.co.jp ships the items on the day of the release. On HMV they said "delivery date November 7". So they ship before release day, so one can have it on that day.

The down part is you don't know exactly how much shippment costs until they actually send it... Still, to me it seemed cheaper than on amazon.

Sorry Sebka!

 

From TeamCeline:

Also, be sure to check the 'Taking Chances'page inside TeamCeline everyday as we will be posting one song clip per day of each track on Celine's upcoming English album! Today members can hear two song clips: "Alone" and "Eyes On Me." Celine worked with Evanecense ex-guitarist Ben Moody on the second song on the album, "Alone," a cover originally recorded by the 80's female rock group Heart. Kristian Lundin, best known for his work with N'sync and the Backstreet Boys, wrote and produced "Eyes On Me." The up-tempo, stylistic song is track #3 on 'Taking Chances.'

I'd bet my left ball, ALONE will be the second single. If you will analyze what the path Celine is going to take in terms of making her image and sound relevant and fresh not just to her fans but to the rest of the world, this would definitely fit the bill.

 

Alone is a great song and will showcase Celine's new sound of rocking the world. I understand some of the guys opinion here regarding the risk Celine and her team are gonna take should they release it as the next single. However, if you look back, they have already taken the same risk they had before when they released "Power of Love" and "All by Myself". These are classic songs and people have already associated these songs with the original artists. But when they heard Celine's version, it bombed them all. So i think, they will do the same for "Alone". I don't think Celine did a bad job with this cover.

 

You guys seem to forget, what Celine touches, they turn to gold. I believe in the potential of this single. My friend who is a heavy alternative listener (i.e. not a fan of Celine) and a great fan of Heart especially the songs "Alone" and "These Dreams", heard Celine's version through me, and she was amazed and totally liked her version.

 

"Eyes on me" is defo a new tune for her as well, but it has the same potential as that of "treat Her like a Lady". I don't know, i just don't totally dig this song. At first listen it was all so new and the melody and technique was fresh, but in the long run, it just doesn't have the punch it needs. But, it could very well be released as a third or fourth single, just to showcase another side of Celine, but this would definitely be released right after the album Taking Chances is already basking in success. And Alone is definitely the right engine to propel the album to it's pinnacle of glory.

 

Amen.

I`m still not feeling Eyes On Me either...it just dosn`t seem to suit her style at all. She`s not Shakira or Beyonce. I agree with what Tal said...something is definitely missing. I`m tempted to order the Japanese version...but I don`t know..

[gmany]
