"Taking Chances" album - Official Topic

[Macaronie]

Yeah I can't get over Taking Chances actually...

[CSCfan]

It's really growing on me.... Very curious about Céline's version!

[changepas39]

yeah its grown on me too..i think celine will do it justice!

[kdw123]

I haven't listened to Taking Chances yet...if this rumor is true, I want Celine's version to be the first one that I hear.

why a lot of people think Woman in me is a cover and not a new song

 

People tend to assume too much, don't put the horse in front of the cart. When I first

heard the title, "The Woman In Me", I thought about the Donna Summer song from the

early 80's which was also the title to her album that Quincey Jones produced.

I Agree search on Amazon and you'll find something like 8 records with the same name from different artists

Too much boiling anticipation!

[Clio]

Let's talk about song numbers. I hope that there are 16 songs at least as die-hard fans are extremly excited to listen!

[morfino]

i'm sure they'll change it in the last minute.

 

this is Celine's come back album, so i know this will be a great one.

[MichiG.]

common folks, it's just a title....celine is not the first artist to pic the same title for an album. there are even bands with the same name...I like the title although I can't really imagine how it will fit with the rockish style of the album....or maybe it's just the way celine feels at the moment..she always liked rock songs, dind't she?

Where does Celine's heart beat now?

Pop singer name's latest album, The Woman in Me, is the same title that has sold 10 million copies for Shania Twain

 

Randy Boswell, CanWest News Service

Published: Thursday, August 16, 2007

 

It worked -- big time -- for Canadian country-pop superstar Shania Twain: her 1995 album, titled The Woman in Me, sold more than 10 million copies, grabbed a Grammy and catapulted the small-town Ontario songstress to worldwide fame.

 

Now, Canada's other globally celebrated female vocalist -- small-town Quebec's queen of musical melodrama, Celine Dion -- has revealed the name of her much-anticipated, first English-language studio album in three years: The Woman in Me.

 

She's kidding, right?

 

Wrong.

 

"I think this album represents a positive evolution in my career," Dion said of her version of The Woman in Me -- to go on sale Nov. 13 across North America -- in a USA Today article this week. "I'm feeling strong, maybe a little gutsier than in the past, and just as passionate about music and life as I ever was."

 

Fan websites for both Twain and Dion quickly lit up with puzzled postings after word spread about the coincidental CD titles from Canada's two biggest pop-music exports of all time.

 

"This sucks. Why does she have to use the same title as Shania?" a Twain fan from New York seethed at shaniaforums.com. "I am furious. Tell Celine to get her own life."

 

One Dion devotee mused online that "knowing that it's a million-selling album from Shania Twain, I don't think they'll keep this name." Another agreed, remarking: "Sounds too weird."

 

So Canada, get ready for some wisecracks about a new duet by the mega-successful northern divas called The Women in Us.

 

A call was made Tuesday to Dion's promotional representatives in Canada, Toronto-based Sony BMG Canada, asking if her upcoming album would include a cover version of Twain's title track from the original The Woman in Me, which might explain the echo effect in the name of Dion's CD.

 

The request prompted an effort by officials there to shed light on the branding oddity, followed Wednesday morning by a response that "this topic has raised much discussion" and would require word from "Celine's camp" -- presumably in the U.S. -- to get sorted out.

 

"We are waiting on the official press release to the media that announces the album title, street date, producers, etc.," Sony BMG Canada told CanWest News Service later in the day.

 

But the company's website in Norway already indicates Dion's The Woman in Me will hit music stores in Europe on Nov. 12.

 

A call to Twain's promotional representatives in Nashville, Tenn., the Mercury record label at Universal Music Group, produced a stunned, non-verbal utterance from one spokesperson but, as yet, no formal statement.

 

For now, that leaves a message of bewilderment from someone at the Twain fan site as the most insightful comment on the matter: "There are so many phrases she could have used...why 'The Woman In Me'?"

Why all the Shania fans are mad about the title. They should take a look at Shania's albums..I think Peter Gabriel had an album called "Up" around Shania's release. She just added !.

Album titles are "recycled" very often....

 

If there's going to be more drama about the title..I'm sure they will change it.

[CSCfan]

Not really "all" the Shania fans..lol

Only 2 or so, the media always exaggerate....

 

It's an honour really..especially if she's covering Shania's song.

[Céline's Blues]

They will change it. I say 99% they will change it now in Taking Chances which I would LOVE.

[René 2]

Thank you CSCfan, I'm glad some journalists are reading the forum. It gives us a voice that'll be heard.

[René 2]

Exactement, exactly, vero.

[CSCfan]

Well I wouldn't mind if it would be titled "Eyes On Me "..

lol..well why the 2 Shania fans hate the title

Yeah..they should think this as an honour...though I bet Celine wasn't thinkg about Shania when se made up the title.

 

I'm still hoping for the "Taking Chances"

[CSCfan]

lol..well why the 2 Shania fans hate the title

 

Well probably the same reason as why some Céline fans hate it..

haha..

[René 2]

Neither I would actually

[Céline's Blues]

And besides no Shania fan should ever let his or her big mouth run about Céline using the same title as Shania cuzz Shania herself would have copied it from Trudy Lynn (1991) and Charly McClain (1983). So some Shania fans and Céline fans need to think and READ before they begin to shout. Edited August 16, 2007 at 10:27 AM by Céline's Blues

I heard it would be changed later from SONYBMG China.

 

Thank you CSCfan, I'm glad some journalists are reading the forum. It gives us a voice that'll be heard.

But they only mentioned the shania forum URL.

I think so too that they will change it... After all the negative responses... Taking Chances would be fine by me. But maybe the will come up with something even better.
