"Alone" in the Philippines


Recommended Posts

Posted

It seems that Sony Philippines has decided to release Alone as the first song off her new album.

 

Sony Philippines did the same thing in 2002 when it released HYEBIL instead of ANDHC here.

really??? where did you get that info?

thanks!

Hmmmm... I think it's because Taking Chances is not really that catchy so deejays preferred playing Alone. But I did notice that Taking Chances came out first in MYX, the philippines music channel.

Perhaps that's because they have yet to release a video for Alone...

 

Sony Philippines tend to release Celine's ballads since Filipinos are known to prefer slow love songs than uptempo songs...

 

In 1992, they released on radio I Love You Goodbye when no one else did in the world...and in 1996-1997 I Love You became bigger than BYLM and ABM... same level as IACBTMN here in my opinion... In 1998 they also released on radio When I Need You... During One Heart era, they released Stand By Your Side instead of IDAN....

 

So there more ballad-y stuff from Celine here...

yeah, well i think Celine will be successful with Alone here.

My friends already texted me (SMS) telling me OMG Celine is reviving Alone. Lavett!! :)

I'm so very very happy to finally get a copy of her new album. I bought the deluxe edtion one which is P460. I was about to cry when i had it but i was in the mall so i controlled it with will. :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

Yes, Filipinos prefer ballad songs from Celine than the uptempo ones.

 

Celine's rocking again! Yheey!~!

OMG!!! You have the deluxe edition????!!!! Where did you get that???!!!! :o

 

Anyway, I heard a couple of radio stations playing ALONE so I guess that's the best way to get CELINE back to the airwaves.

 

My mom plays ALONE 10 times a day. My CD player is tired and crazy of the TC CD by now.... :laugh:

I avoid too much laughter in the day because I am afraid to cry too much when the sun sets.

Me too. i played "Alone" many times. Skies of L.A. is one of my favorite in the album.

 

Hmmm... the deluxe edition is available here in the Philippines.

 

I will also buy the regular one and give it as a gift to a friend. I'm actually also looking for the "These Are Special Times" album.

Yes I have both the Standard and Deluxe Edition. Got to have the Japanese and Walmart Exclusives. Weeeee.

I bought the regular album version even though i know that Sony Philippines will release the deluxe edition later on just to make sure that Filipino fans would buy two copies at least... and true enough, the deluxe came out barely a week after! So I bought a second copy!

 

PS: For some weird reason, I think I heard my neighbor turning their radio up so loud and overheard Taking Chances being played.

what?????they have the deluxe edition already? i bought the first one a week later hoping they would release a good item (never like the 1st packaging). And i hate it, by the way what's the companion of the cd in the deluxe edition?

 

>>>>i love you goodbye seems to be a hit here in phils...and i have so many friends who doesn't like celine but love that song either.

Posted

I wonder why a lot of people (not from the phils) love Eyes On Me. I find it the weakest song from the album.

I find Surprise Surprise and Fade Away as the strongest.

I'm not into the whole Shakira thing of Eyes on Me either hehehe (lol)... but I have to admit I really love the background vocal arrangement...Kristian's voice simply blends perfectly with that of Celine!

To be honest, I really laughed the first time I heard of EOM :D

but eventually, I learned to love it after listening to it for like, 3 times

I can equate the song with Reveal (from One Heart, although Reveal sounds much better than EOM), Sorry For Love (from A New Day Has Come) and Refuse To Dance (from The Colour Of My Love).

I just hope it won't be released as a single cos I'm sure many will criticize her.

Oh how I love Celine!

Eyes on me is fine but it's not a great song. Hmmm.... What I mean is that I don't think it'll do well in the charts but I hope I'm wrong. :msn-wink:

 

I am looking for the "These Are Special Times" album.

 

"Alone" is great!!! :clap:

Posted
i agree. i totally dont think EOM will do her good should it be released as a single. Go for ALONE!!!

Just Because ORIENTAL MUSIC Isn't the taste of Filipino. Well, They're Not USE to Listen With That Kind Of Music, I Don't Think The Song's The Weakest Song From The Album, I Actually Find It GROOVY And Dancable. Most Of Them Listen To Love Songs Which I Really Find "KINDDA"Corny, but I Respect Them... Well, I Think "Alone" Is A Good Choice To Release As A Single In the Philippines... And I'm 97% sure Regine will sing this song in a Filipino channel and her fans put in Youtube and Make A Comments Like "WOW, She Sang It Better Than Celine... She Sang Effortless and Powerful...or Better Than The ORIGINAL" which make me sick... -_- I'd rather hear Sarah (OMG, I MET This Girl And Shook Her Hand, She Looks Pretty) singin' this song or Lani M. Hahahahha... Anyway, When I Flew For A Vacation In The Phil. I First Heard "I Love You" at the Hotel... Well ,A Welcome Song For Me... "I Love You" Is Still Playin' In The Philippines Right!? I think Filipino Love "I Love You" More Than BYLM or IACBTMN.... Nice Choice! :cheers: Edited by OnlyCeline

Hmmm.... It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Because You Loved Me and I Love You are all great hits from the Philippines. But IACBTMN has the best run on the charts. second is Because You Loved Me. I still can hear "I Love You Goodbye which is immortal. People still consider ILYG as one of their favorites.

Hmmm.... I think Odyssey doesn't have the deluxe edition. you can get the deluxe in astrovision either in ayala or sm. you can also grab it in gaisano. Hopefully there are still deluxe editions left for you. :)

Would you believe that 'I Love You, Goodbye' was a success here in our country?

Of course! I Love You Goodbye is an immortal song.

 

 

But I don't know if it went number 1 in local radio stations. All I know is that I always here it before. At this time, not really sure cos I'm busy with my work.

Wow, good news from Phils! :D

I'm sure "Alone" will do better there than "EOM"! :D

 

Talking about covers, I'm not really fan of Regina...

 

But I really enjoy to listen to Céline songs covered by that cute young singer Sarah Geronimo! :D I wonder if she's still known in Phils? I have her 2 albums and they are great! :D

 

Or Aiza Seguerra - my fave Filipino singer ever!! I wonder how would her version of "Alone" sound?... :) In her low key... mmm... :D :wub:
