Working with Ne-Yo

[blue.grave]

I'm sorry but the album can't be good if the producer didn't meet Céline personally beforehand.

Well that is true. He better sit with Celine soon, and talk things over about this new album.

[CSCfan]

I'm sure they'll meet.... if Céline is meeting Ben Moody, she will meet Ne-Yo..especially if she handpicked him (and especially if he's also producing the song)..

 

Btw, at the moment it's only certain he'll write a song (or more) for Céline..=> songwriter.. it doesn't necessarily mean he will also produce the song.

[shakiria]

i quite like him they would make a good duo

[firebird]

I submit songs to her and just write the songs, send them to her and if she likes them she will run with it and if she doesn’t, then she doesn’t.

 

Yes, boy, just walk away, don't say goodbye, don't turn around now ...

i agree with you

Just found these:

 

Two of his hits, Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" and Mario's "Let Me Love You," have spent a combined 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Now A-listers like Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Brown, Nicole Sherzinger and Whitney Houston are all clamoring for a Ne-Yo track. And he's busy writing them.

 

His success is now breeding more success. The ubiquity of "Irreplaceable" piqued the interest of Celine Dion.

 

"For someone like Celine, it's about writing a song that's timeless," Ne-Yo says. "It's not about convincing people that you're younger than you are."

 

Ne-Yo's also writing for Whitney Houston, and once again looking to buck expectations.

 

"They played me about eight tracks that were all very 'I'm Whitney and I've been through some things and now I'm triumphant,"' Ne-Yo says. "But you can only do that for so long, so I said I'll do the same thing for Whitney that I'm doing for Celine, which is to bring them to the everyday person."

And Another One:

 

With the new album set in the chamber, and scripts awaiting review, Ne-Yo’s work isn’t done. The songwriter has a lot of projects lined up. He is coming to the aid of Clive Davis to do work on the Whitney Houston come back project. Plus, Davis has led him to do some work on the Jennifer Hudson disc. And intertwined with conversations with Clive, Ne-Yo’s been chatting with Celine Dion about sending something her way. And finally, he’s lined up a few things to help Britney Spears come back to the world, though he’s mentioned that she missed the recording sessions. Still, he hasn’t much to complain about.

those DJ's should die

[Elaine]

Oh my... I didn't like it a bit! The person asking the questions saying something about ne-yo being worried about his personal integrity... Who's he to ask that! An ne-yo's answer didn't give me a good impression at all!!

[Céline's Blues]

Orlando Ne-Yo

 

(…)

 

MALE BIATCH BRITISH PRESENTER: - Do you worry about your personal integrity writing for Celine Deon?

 

NeYo: Not at all. That means..umh…for anybody that has anything negative to say I was quite (in need for?) money becuzz …. (THE FREAKING BRITISH PRESENTER LAUGHUNG) gonna make a whole lot out of writing a song for her.

 

MALE BIATCH BRITISH PRESENTER: But money is not everything, buddy, you’ve got to be able to sleep at night.

 

NeYo: Very true, very true. And I can honestly say I can write a song for Celine Deon that would make me able to sleep at night. I think I could do it.

 

Female BIATCH BRITISH PRESENTER: What sort of sound is that you giving her? Is it just the lyrics you write or melody as well or…?

 

Ne-yo: Lyric and melody.

 

Female BIATCH BRITISH PRESENTER: But how do you update MHWGO?

 

NeYo: Um..My heart will keep going on…?

[Ronny83]

I truly hope Céline will reject his tracks.

[Céline's Blues]

I think we should alert CelineOnline or Team Celine about his prepostrous attitude towards Céline. Ne-Yo is now a major no-no.

[smw]

is he mentally retarded? does he actually think he can talk like that and still make the record?? Edited June 3, 2007 at 07:02 PM by smw

I agree. Let's contact Team Celine about it.

[VinnyT.]

I agree let's contact them!

I sent my email to CelineDion.com.

[IL_DINO]

Oh no. It's not enough having this kind of music on the next album? No thes sense of humor too? It's so easy to say these things against mainstream artists. Dear journalists and selfnamed stars, these jokes are so boring.

And please let us our knowledge and differentiating the special things and preals in all the mainstrems...

Bye

[VinnyT.]

Please guys send your e-mail to celinedion.com and explain the whole situation as I did! Edited June 3, 2007 at 07:32 PM by VinnyT.

[Céline's Blues]

I sent an email to TVA, Journal De Montreal and CelineOnline.com. This has to be heard by Céline's production team. They will surely take action.

[thevoice]

i'm in favour of a petition - we have to do it right now!! celine already recorded some songs - we should give them this link so they would hear how they are treating celine and more than that - how no-no is playing along .

those idiots!!! he mentioned britney yet they didnt have a problem with her - it's celine who would give him the hard time sleeping at night!!

 

i say - let's bomb celinedion.com with emails and let's write an official petition and send it to celine's people

celine should not work with this idiot - there r so many talented writers/producers that would kill in order to work with celine , it's an honour and that mother fu&&&& cares only about the money!!!!

[krazy_kool_dude]

is this an american or british interview?

 

sounds Australian.

 

EDIT: ah never mind, i listened to the ending. it is australian.

[CSCfan]

LOL!!!! I can only laugh about this..

[julien]

I don't know what to think.... Indeed, we don't have to blame Ne yo but the presenter. It's Ne yo who in almost every interview was speaking about writting songs for Celine Dion whitout any demand from the jornalists. It's him who has spoken about her, about their collaborations... Nobody asked him about it. It means one thing: this guy is certainly proud to writte songs for one of the most popular and talented singer...But it's also interesting for him because for the first time, he will be able to demonstrate, well I hope, that he is able to writte different songs. He wanted to speak about Celine...To speak about her call phone. If he was ashamed, he would have not spoken of her, and not in this maner, which was quite respectfull till now.

 

An now in this interview...And again, it's him who said directly...(this man seems really proud to writte song for her) that he is writting for Celine... And immediatly the presenters made fun of this situation... It was like a trap for Ne-yo and he prefered to go in this way, and thus to joke about this situation, for being hype...Which by the way was not very clever. This man I think is definatly proud to writte for Celine, and he already demonstrated this. He just suffers from a lack of personnality as we saw in this interview.

Ne yo was so rude ?

Maybe I haven't understand everything..

[julien]

What is really funny is speaking about integrity while Ne yo said he was writting for Britney.... Come on. It shows one thing : Ne yo has the sufficient integrity to writte for Britney but Not for Celine.

Yes, I think so to.

This is so very much blown out of proportion..

 

If he would really thought that, he wouldn't write for her. He's also writing for Whitney, etc. etc. if he disliked her or anything he simply wouldn't write for her. Those DJ's are just plain stupid. And besides it's all about the MUSIC in the end. There are a lot of big selfish producers/writers out there, but it's the music that matters. If Celine doesn't like it, it won't be on the album. Now let's wait till we hear some stuff....

[celinesounds]

this is just a joke

[krazy_kool_dude]

i really do not get the music industry today!

 

i mean he gives a list of 3 artists: Whitney, Celine and Britney.

 

Britney - a girl who's shown her lady garden more times then i care to remember for, been in and out of rehab three times already this year, recently divorced

Whitney - recovering crack addict, recently divorced

and

Celine - riding at the top of the charts with her recent french album, wowing audiences in her sucessful Las Vegas gig and gearing up for her world tour

 

and they choose Celine to slate and question about integerity!

 

10 years ago this would not have happend! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE STATE THE MUSIC BUSINESS IS IN!
