Celine on UK press - "Taking Chances" coverage

[Xpresso]

Critics in the UK will be nasty to her, if she sings live or not!!! Period.

 

All that talking and travelling to promote her album probably has an effect on her voice. And tons of singers now lip their promo, so why should she kill herself to sing live in all of the shows she taped in the last few weeks?

 

She sang some songs live on Star Academy so we know she can still sing, but she might be protecting her voice to avoid any future problems... she sure can't back out of her final last Vegas performances!!! Mainly not the one on Dec. 15!!! Maybe this has something to do with it?

I remember when Andy Coulson was editor of Bizarre, they loved Celine, they frequently had Celine news and updates and loads of interview, and then there was that interview she did with Gary Bushell in The Sun (back in 1995), now this Newton lady just write what she thinks is popular obviously she had no opinion; one minute shes slagging off JT, next minute shes all over him.

Dave's taking chances with superstar Celine!

 

 

 

SINGING STARS: The exclusive picture was taken on the set of Celine Dion’s video for her new single, Taking Chances. Sunderland-born Dave Stewart wrote the song – and starred in the video.

Dave Stewart has come a long way since his days of being bullied because of his passion for folk music and the songs of Bob Dylan.

 

Jumping on trains to unknown destinations was teenage Dave's way of escaping his unhappiness – using the journeys to dream of a better future.

 

Today, he doesn't have to dream. After the success of the Eurythmics in the 1980s, he has turned his hand to everything from acting to producing.

 

And his latest work – co-writing singing superstar Celine Dion's new album Taking Chances – is now winning rave reviews around the world.

 

"Celine heard a song from an, as yet, unreleased album of mine and flipped out over it," said Dave, who now lives in Los Angeles.

 

The song, Taking Chances, was originally written for Dave's latest duo, Platinum Weird, which he formed with Kara DioGuardi in 2004.

 

However, Canadian-born Celine, who scored a worldwide Number One hit with the theme tune to Titanic, was determined to make it her own.

 

"She and her husband, Renee, said that this was the song to launch her album and world tour as soon as they heard it!" said Dave.

 

The album, released just last week, is riding high in both the American and British charts – as is the single of Taking Chances.

 

Also attracting hits by the thousand on the Internet is the song's video, which features an appearance by Dave – in his trademark sunglasses.

 

"I was driving to my studio about a month or so ago and my phone rang and it was Renee saying Celine wanted to talk to me," he said.

 

"She asked me if I would be in her video and I said yes. I play a kind of enigmatic 'boss' character from a James Bond movie.

 

"We shot it in the desert and it was 100 degrees with no shade. I was wearing a black suit, so was rather hot under the collar, as they say."

 

Celine is not, however, the only major star Dave has been working with this year – Ringo Starr from The Beatles is another big name.

 

Dave is co-producing Ringo's new studio album, Liverpool 8, which is due out next June – and has also written a song for him, too.

 

"Ringo approached me to work on his album after he appeared in my Platinum Weird documentary," said Dave.

 

"The first thing I did was write the first single, called Liverpool.

 

It's basically the story of his life condensed into three minutes.

 

"It follows him from being a kid in Liverpool, to working at Butlins and playing with the Beatles at the height of their fame.

 

"I wanted it to be full of nostalgia, so in the production I used a real orchestra and a brass band."

 

Dave – who plays 1960s Rickenbacker guitars on the single – will perform the song live with Ringo in Liverpool in January, supported by Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

 

"Ringo and I are also writing a musical together and we are having a lot of fun doing it. We worked on it in France during the summer, and start again this month after we shoot the video for Liverpool," he said.

 

Despite all his work for other stars, Dave has still found the time to record another album of his own this year, which will be finished at the end of this month, as well as present his own US TV interview show.

 

Off the Record, produced for the HBO channel, has so far featured stars such as U2's Bono and The Edge, as well as Ringo and Stevie Nicks.

 

"With each artist, I get to go through their whole creative process, which is very interesting for me!" he said.

 

Not a bad life, then, for a boy who was once told that working at Pyrex was the only option open to him after leaving Bede School.
