"Eyes On Me" - Official Discussion Topic

...it's also one of the best upbeat songs Celine has *ever* recorded. When I first got my Taking Chances CD, I couldn't listen to the rest of the CD for a week because I kept playing Eyes On Me over and over.

 

 

I did the same thing, too... though I think I was listening to the album like this:

 

Taking Chances - SKIP [i had heard it enough by the time the whole album came out] LOL

Alone

Eyes On Me

My Love - SKIP [i loved EOM and SOL so much that I had to skip it back then... now I love it.]

Shadow of Love

Surprise Surprise

 

Then I would go back to "Alone" and start my cycle over again. LOL

Not only is this song the best song on Taking Chances, but it's also one of the best upbeat songs Celine has *ever* recorded. When I first got my Taking Chances CD, I couldn't listen to the rest of the CD for a week because I kept playing Eyes On Me over and over. It's so incredibly young and it's like a breath of fresh air. Celine sings it wonderfully, and this song is just destined to become a huge Top 10 hit. It could've been a huge hit in England with a proper music video, but Sony basically just released it there and totally forgot about it. If they could just make a hip music video(I posted an idea for an EOM music video a while back), and released it worldwide, it'd do well. Celine could go on a few talk shows, maybe. I know she's busy with the tour, but she can do a couple of short 5-10 minute interviews on some talk shows in Europe/North America. If that could be done, Eyes On Me could be an amazing success. It deserves to be the next single, because it could truly show the world that Celine does more than big love ballads(Fade Away could do this, too).

 

Sorry if I rambled on a bit. :P

 

You took the words right out of my mouth. If released here in the states it would go to the top 10 immedietely and restore Celine's name to people that just remember her as the singer that "sang the Titanic song." IMO this is the best song on the album followed by fade away. If it gets released as a single it NEEDs a video and promotion. C'mon sony, it is so obvious you don't care about celine. Rene better be looking to switch to another company, JIVE anyone?.

I was listening to EOM and I think that it would sound sooo much better and more sensual if Céline sang it in a much lower key like the 'Jeeeesuuuuss I will follow' in A new Dawn. What ya think?? I still

 

 

believe that if Shakira recorded this song, it was on the radio everywhere and a big hit! :doh:

sorry i never learned to love Eyes on Me. it's one of the noisiest songs in TC and i really can't stand the last part. the backing vocals is still annoying. i think i have to give up on this one. :P

...the backing vocals is still annoying. i think i have to give up on this one. :P

 

i LOVE this song, yet i do agree that the backing vocals are revolting; i think that RENÉ and RENÉ-CHARLES might have even been able to record a backing track of superior quality!

 

however, all in all, i think this song is one of her most intensely vocal songs on the entire album...

 

the studio takes are simply SUBLIME!

 

peace to all!

I have never been a fan of EOM either. I kind of have a sense that it's not finished. The end lacks the power and the oriental feeling that is at the beginning. And it doesn't fit on TC.

Posted

OMG HATERS!!! HAHAHA i love love love it - i too couldnt get past it before listening to the rest of the album! ha, im kinda bored of it now tho haha seen as i COMPLETELY over did it! ha.

 

Now a good year on i listen to taking chances like this....

 

Taking Chances (surprisingly never got sick of this)

Alone (have slooooowly started skipping this less)

Eyes On Me

My Love

Shadow of Love

Suprise Suprise

This Time (SKIP!!!!)

New Dawn

A Song For You (SKIP!!!!)

A World To Believe In

Can't Fight The Feelin' (sometimes skip)

I Got Nothin' Left (skip)

Right Next To The Right One (skip)

Fade Away

That's Just The Woman In Me

Skies of LA

Map to my heart (the reason to listen right to the end!!)

reason i go on (skip!!!!)

Posted

i hope no one hates me, but this is the way i would do it, ideally...

 

Taking Chances

Alone

Eyes On Me

My Love

Shadow of Love (skip!)

Surprise Surprise (skip!)

This Time (play, and sometimes love, yet rarely)

New Dawn (normally skip, but can touch me a times as CELINE reached deep down recording this one)

A Song For You (play this one over and over, and would NEVER skip: the diamond of the album)

A World To Believe In (fromage...skip!)

Can't Fight The Feelin' (fromage, but i find it addictive and i generally cannot get enough of it)

I Got Nothin' Left (sometimes play, butrarely; i feel this is the worst produced track)

Right Next To The Right One (meh)

Fade Away

That's Just The Woman In Me (the second diamond of the album)

Skies of LA (love it)

 

*Map To My Heart and The Reason I Go On (do not have on my edition of TC, but love both of these songs--especially Map To My Heart--and feel that they could and should have easily replaced A World To Believe In and Right Next To The Right One)

 

**now that i think of it, i think i would just DITCH A World To Believe In for Map To My Heart and keep New Dawn, retaining The Reason I Go On as a b-side type of track

I share the same opinion, a lower key would be better, but I think producers always ask her to sing higher :shrug:

 

the problem with the songs is no live promotion, no video, no nothing. They waste the chance releasing the song as a 3rd or 2nd single without any type of promotion. The song had work better as a first single with an amazing video :flowers:

i have to agree with you , the song doesn't work with celine singing in a shrilly key . You can't sing a latin/salsa song with a key like that. It needs to be in a lower key with uptempo vocals and neither of those were present in the song.

I'm not able to stop listening EOM! I love the whole song! If it had had big promotion, a sexy video or something, it would been (in my opinion) a big hit for Celine! The young people would love this song, 'cause it's great! In my class I showed this song to my classmates (they don't like Celine...I don't understand them WHY?? :shrug: :D ) and they liked it! Some of them wanted to listen to it on his/her iPod and I sent them the song by using a chatting programme! They listen it very often! So I think it would be a big and succesful hit!

Shania and Celine forever 😍😍

the funny/tragic part is that they test ran it as a single in a country where she hasn't had any hit since the 90ies and in which she around the single release lipped an intire TV special... so the test ground wasn't that well planned...

Peace and love to all.

they should have released Alone first, then EOM. typical for Sony to release a summer song in the Winter :rolleyes: :doh:

 

and a decent video would have been nice -_-

nice video for Eyes On Me but I think it would have done better on the charts if the video was different.

Delta's tour program mentions that Celine released Eyes on Me. That made me smile. :)
