I think Celine would be more ridiculed and given a whoriah label for wearing a bikini on the cover of her album than having the title "A Woman in Me."

[anewdayhascome]

the title back from the strip is quite nice!

... the title "A Woman in Me."

 

That's not the title Love though it would appeal to the lesbian market...!

CELINE BORROWS ALBUM TITLE FROM SHANIA

 

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."

 

Prepare for American jokesters to remind the world that, for most of the 20th century, two of this country’s nine CFL football teams were, inexplicably, called the Roughriders, and that two of Atlantic Canada’s three largest cities are, confusingly, named after St. John the Baptist.

 

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, sort of, explain the echo effect in the planned 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 web site 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’?”

According to Kara DioGuardi's official site: http://karadioguardi.com/kd/index.htm#

Kara's song "Taking Chances" is slated to be the first single off of Celine Dion's highly-anticipated forthcoming album.

So what kind of song can we expect from Kara?

 

this exact song: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pnlmQRKSyLc

 

 

Forgive me for appearing pessimistic, but I suppose this means that, "Taking Chances," is another cover song for Celine, right? I was really hoping to have all original material. I mean, the song sounds nice and I bet Celine's version is gonna rock, but just the simple fact that it's been originally sung and released that another artist is kinda... eh...

 

Edit: After listening to the song twice, I just realized the song's gonna totally rock my socks off!! I guess most of the other material on the album will be original... I hope.

i know what you mean and i do agree. but she usually does some covers and some original on an album i think. i may be wrong...

whatever happens...the album will be fantastic...it's been a long time coming!

In addition to the tracks heard at the listening party yesterday in Las Vegas, here are 2 additional songs that have been confirmed by one of my contacts:

 

It Will Never Go Away (with Ne-Yo)

Remember The Day (with R. Kelly)

 

Looks like there'll be some R&B songs from he established people.

Yeah these rumours again? I don't know....I really doubt we'll get 16/more than 14 tracks..

[anewdayhascome]

i like the title like That's Just The Women In Me...

 

hmmmm what are those sources??

but i think they can be reliable for me it would be strange if they gave us everything so early they have sth for sure to make some surprise... they just couldn't give people to listen all the songs... wouldn't be so strange? sth must have been put in secret:)

[tativale]

Another small snippet from a Ne-Yo interview in Toronto...paraphrased as best I can from memory.

 

"I want to create something in her lane. She said 'I don't do IRRESISTABLE. I don't do Beyonce. I want to do Celine Dion, just updated.'"

Bless her!!!!!!

Yeah these rumours again? I don't know....I really doubt we'll get 16/more than 14 tracks..

My take is that among the 14 songs showcased at the listening session, some won't end up on the album. The ones with the least amount of positive feedback will probably end up in Rene's ever growing vault

 

Just my 2 cents.

But let's hope that if the songs don't end up on the album.....we'll have b-sides, or special tour editions with extra material

[Say What?]

The amount of songs Celine recorded and we never heard is astounding. She said herself that she usually records 25 songs for an album and they go from there. So...

 

I don't think B-sides are in anymore. Meaning that the physical single is fading away and now it's the digital single they're marketing. But, yeah, it would be nice to have a compilation of those unreleased songs. Maybe when Celine is dead, 50-some years from now :/

[Nmj]

My guess is that they previewed the songs that they want advice on...and I think that Rene and Celine have decided on ' i Knew i Loved You" to be on the album and didnt play it because it will be on the album regardless....

I hope you're wrong. That song is a snoozefest... very boring and bland sounding to me.

[celinefan1985]

Snooze-o-rama! I was so looking forward to this song and the end product is truly dull and uninspiring! There is no room for it on this album.

[Epoenah]

i LOVE "i knew i loved you". it is a beautiful, classic song & i really really hope it is included on the album!

[Nando Férri]

i LOVE "i knew i loved you". it is a beautiful, classic song & i really really hope it is included on the album!

And I will pray it won't be....

[Love,]

"I Knew I Loved You" is an enchanting and romantic song.

 

However, it's just out of place in this new album to come. Maybe we'll see it in "Collector's Series Vol. II" :giggle:

[Bellamy]

Album name topic merged with this topic, cause that name seems not accurate anymore.

*recovering from heart attack*

 

omfg. I was listening to radio and they told news about Celine's English album. They said that "Taking Chances" would contain songs such as "Alone" and started to play the song. OMG..at first I thought it was Celine and got extremely exited..lol. It wasn't Celine, they just played the "Heart" clip.
