"Taking Chances" album - Official Topic

[anewdayhascome]

sa La Diva has 3 versions French and English and Italian???!!!!

i think that La Diva will be sung by Celine on tour but only in french speaking concerts

[pol]

Isn't it strange that she recorded Italian song for the English album...??

 

 

It seems that the upcoming English album will be a total collaboration of music styles. We heard about rock, r'n'b and now opera. All mixed with pop. I will be happy if it is just all soft-rock and rock album.

[thevoice]

i dont think the italian version will be on all editions of the album....maybe they'll release it only in italy

[maxceline]

no la diva in english???? is it rock and edgy??

[anewdayhascome]

i am confused but if only italian version will be on the album it will be nice as An existe amour on ANDHC:) though it's spanish

[thevoice]

all that matters to me is that we'll hear this song live atleast once

not a prerecorded version but celine singing this song live from start to finish .

[Dionism]

If you find Celines ballads boring, then how come you are a Celine fan? It's her main style!

 

Anyway, I personally think it's useless to try to persuade the people who don't like Celine to like her, and therefore she should focus her album on the people who do like her, and that is a huge huge number. Whoever said she is a joke nowadays obvious listens to much to those Celine bashers (who will never be convinced anyway). She fills a Colosseum in Las Vegas with 4000 people 5 days a week for 4 years! I don't think she is a joke to all those people! That is why the album should focus mainly on the people who love her voice and style in the first place. And from that point she can experiment all she wants with different sounds and styles.. So when she puts La Diva and I Knew I Loved You-style songs on the album, she can also put new sounds on it, so that it will be an album with great variety (indeed like Falling Into You), and that way she can broaden her audience and at the same time keep her current interested, but not by releasing an entire album full of songs that don't fit her other repertoire, like an all r'nb album.

Well said! I agree!

[Kian]

I don't like this ''La diva'' english version news one bit. I like the song and I think it fits D'elles quite well but for new english album . Why ''La diva'' and not ''A cause'' .

[leenylover]

I think Celine has sufficient talent and versatility tp pull off pretty much whatever style takes her fancy. As long as she "feels" the material it will sound good. I'm happy to hear something new, I don't have to like everything she does, for instance, I can't stand the song that she did with Pavarotti and always skip the track, however I love the album LTAL. I just love her voice and her passion, as long as that's still there I will be happy.

 

I'm quite sure that Celine and I have a very similar taste in music, so most of the songs she enjoys performing and recording, I also enjoy listening to. But I guess we will have to wait and see. The last few English albums have been quite an ecclectic mix, with something for pretty much everyone, so it's likely this one will be the same.

 

I'm sure Celine will have some great surprises in store for us!

 

Love Lisa

There’s a difference between beautiful ballads (BYL ABM, IS, TW… ) and boring songs…like a diva

[sayyed]

i fear an english translation will destroy the spirit of LD!

[stevethefan]

It would be nice to have all new songs, no covers or duets on this album. I think that someday she will put out her own duet album, sort of like Tony Bennett's recent album. Sometimes I wish that she would take more time on this album, since it seems that most of it's being recorded on her LV breaks. Although I know she has not put out an English album for awhile, but it seems like they are rushing this album. That's not to say that recording the album so quickly is bad, but it would have been nice if it was recorded when she was not so busy.

Why do you think they are rushing this album? We have known about the CD for about a year now so I'm sure they have been planning it much longer than that! THAT IS NOT RUSHED!!!! And so what if she is recording the songs during her Vegas breaks....she used to record previous albums during her concert breaks....what's the difference!

[Shaun]

I don't agree that this new English album is being rushed. It appears to be one of the most carefully planned and orchestrated English albums of Celine's career. Now One Heart, that was rushed!

 

However, I am APPAULED(!!!) by these suggestions that there will be an English version of La Diva. Will Sony/Celine/Rene please STOP doing this! The fans do not need a two versions of La Diva, just like we didn't need two versions of Je T'aime Encore and just like we didn't need two versions of If That's What It Takes. Whilst i'm at it, i'm not sure we needed two versions of "Fly" either. This has to stop, we are getting recylced material album after album. Celine receives HUNDREDS of songs a year for her to consider, it shouldn't be hard for her to pick 14 original french songs and 14 original English songs now should it?

[Elaine]

I agree completely! Plus, as I don't like very much this song, it'd be a track i'd usually skip.. But let's wait and see..

[becomplete]

If "la diva" becomes a track on the English album then let's pray for a hard rock version!

Yes, I don't know what they are thinking by putting out two versions of the same songs. Even though I love the original French version of Je t'aime encore I did not think the English version worked at all. I guess their thinking is that some of these songs are so good that people will want to hear them in English and maybe they will become a hit in English speaking countries. The problem is that you can't always just translate songs into other languages and expect it to work. Sometimes it's better to just leave the songs alone.

the difference is that LV isvery demanding, 5 nights a week for years on end

ok first of all i dont know how you know that OH was rushed. its just a different sounding album, the way they intended it to be.

i agree with the part about translating and recyling the material. In my petition i talked about this.

haha yea hee haw

[thevoice]

i hate it when they recycle songs for her english albums HOEVER there r exceptions

"fly" is one of her most emotional english songs and i actually find it better than the original in many ways...i think LA DIVA can sound great in english if the right producers will work on it - that's the real question , who'll produce it .

 

i have to say it makes me very happy to know that LA DIVA is celine's favourite song from DELLES - we all knew how close to her heart this song is but now she is doing something about it . now i hope she'll record CARUSO too instead of one of the ne-yo tunes

[amelie]

i prefer I don't know to je sais pas, fly to vole and je t'aime encore to Et je t'aime encore hope the same will happen with la diva i think i'll like it better in english Edited June 11, 2007 at 07:58 AM by amelie

[Alice]

I want her to sing La Diva with the opera parts all by herself Can be in English.

[IL_DINO]

Of course I prefer new songs. But better an English version of LA DIVA or S'IL NE RESTE QU'UNE' but NO flat R'n'B-songs.

 

If cover a song, pleas giving a new spirit! Somebody wrote somethig about HARD ROCK. Wy not????

 

But I think it's time again for a new Celine-Bomb(astic)-Song. Please cry once again, Celine, as loud as you can!

 

Most of us say, we don't like it, but I'am not sure... At last, it's the reason for the succes of Celine and the difference between her and most of the other female singers.

 

Since "I surrender" and "Ain't gonna look..." i am waiting. And I cannot beleive, Sony didn't took this two songs as a single.

 

Bye

 

PS: And in addition please something new: A collaboration with Zb. Preisner, classic Blues-Sons or songs from Chi Coltrane or...! I know thats only wishes of a very old(fashioned) man, but please let my dream goooooo on aaaaaaaand on....

According to Kristian Lundin's official MySpace page, he is working for Céline Dion.

Actually, I'm thinking about Mr Seb and the Swedish team, and I cry.

 

[Céline's Blues]

Grazie Renatooooooooooooooooooooooo! This whole project seems to be so handled so secretively. Nobody is telling us anything, only bits and bits from all over the net, shor phrases containg the name of sucha great star like Céline. It's all very weird with no hype whatsoever.

 

The Lundin news is GREAT if he will write something as amazingly soothing as "Ring My Bells" for Enrique... it's as if Enrique would sing an updated Sade sound. Very calm and sensual.

 

Julien, listen to Ring My Bells! It's the new Lundin sound. Definitely the right one for Céline IMO. Nothing cheap!

BTW yes, the song for Enrique is quite nice, very sensual. I'm just very very worried....about those swedish composers. Edited June 12, 2007 at 08:12 PM by julien

See, that's what I am talking about. If there's only Lundin there then good. He won't write more than one song anyway in the midst of all the new producers Céline is working at the moment.

 

I'm sure as long as Max Martin won't be there we will get a solid overall sound. He is the only one of them who can't update his sound and lives in the 90's still.

Christopher Neil will produce a track for Céline's upcoming album. :w00t:

 

Celine Dion's forthcoming album will feature a track produced by CHRIS NEIL. CHRIS has also produced 3 other albums for Celine (Unison, Color Of My Love and A New Day).
