Celine's comeback to Las Vegas - March 2011

[Claudette]

I don't think i is going to work like that: het doing about 7 shows a month. They will probably stay in Vegas during the months that RC is on summer vacation and do all 70 shows during that time...

[Bellamy]

"I can see performing in Vegas, but only when Rene-Charles has vacation," says Dion, whose big trips these days amount to the seven-minute drive to and from her son's school. "My biggest joy is seeing him have a life."

Enough said.

[Bralo20]

Oh, yes, "only" 75 shows... So they don't mean that she won't make new albums, promote them and tour the world, right? Because it's only 75 shows a year we're talking about.

Her career suffered a huge blow after the first 5 years, even though many fans refuse to see it as anything else but a success. And you know why it plummeted? Because she went out of the public eye and Las Vegas is not the focal point of the world. Now she's simply going to repeat the same mistake.

Oh, whatever. Let her. It's more than obvious she's not really interested in her singing career anymore.

 

You are partly right that Vegas wasn't a career boost. Although when you at the numbers they are very impressive... She was able to sell out nearly every single show she performed during those 5 years in Vegas... Would any other artist be able to do this? Only a handfull in this world... Something like that you have to earn and that is exactly what she did... She earned a sufficient amount of credibility to fill the place day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year... It didn't "boost" her career but her career remained on the same level as before... The same level were she's right now... She's together with only a handfull of other artists the top of the bill, the "crème de la crème", she one of the few artists that will be remembered for decades, maybe centuries... She worked hard for a spot on the top and she reached it years ago... There is not much to gain anymore...

 

You would love her to see touring again, so do plenty of people, including me but you have to set yourself and others aside, you'll have to think about the benefit of the artist. Is it good for an artist and his or her family to tour arround the world constantly? No it is not... Althought they live a luxurious live while touring it's still hard for any artist to do so... Nearly every single night in another place, in another bed, other food, other healthcare, other climate, etc... The stress, flying arround the globe, driving arround, etc... It's a life that takes a lot from people... Her child, her mother, her husband, all the people that she cares about and who are touring with her, it also takes a toll on them... Think about them also and not only about yourself who wants to se her close to you... Touring arround the world is hard work even though there's plenty of time to have some fun...

 

She has a aging mother, even her husband is aging and has a hearthcondition, she has a son who's 8 years old and is growing up, it's not all about her anymore, it's all about her family... And what they need is some stability and how can you combine stability and her love to perform? She performs on 1 fixed place in the world, a place where she has a home where she can go to, a place with lots of people who are willing to see her perform... A place that can easily be reached from every point in the world... She chose Vegas years ago and it worked, people were travelling thousands of miles to see her perform and yet she could go home afterwards and be with her family and relax in her own couch, in her own house and sleep in her own bed...

 

Would this arm her career? Certainly not... Would this benefit her career? Neither does it benefit her career Would it gave her and her family some stability? It certainly would...

 

She doesn't need to do anything anymore for the money... They have other incomes to give them a significant amount of money so they can actually retire... Would you like to see her do this? To stop performing because she wants to be with her family? To BE a family?

 

I honestly think that Vegas is a nice way to combine her 2 greatest loves in this world... Her family and performing...

 

 

But hey, if you like to think otherwise, be my guest, everyone has right to his or her's opinion Maybe we could even learn from eachother's opinion.

 

 

Just my 2 cents

Exactly! I think people need to chill... and stop this nonsense about her career going to die... blah blah... I don't think Celine is just going to sit at home and wait for RC to come back from school everyday. She will probably keep busy with other projects...

[stevo]

I don't htink her career will die- I was sceptical months ago but if it really is going to be so few shows per year, then there's ample time for her to do anything else- promote her show, an album, act, perform at events etc. She's clever- and is going to be the richest woman in showbiz, definitely.

Just my 2 cents

 

If you think I do not get the point of her wanting to have a family - you're flat out wrong. Vegas was too much. It indeed made her stay where she is. TC was an album that sold really good, considering sales in the music biz today, yet almost nobody knows she had an album. Many people still believe she's either in Vegas or, worse, she's on that hiatus she took back in 1999. So, yes, she's on top, just as Barbra Streisand is - i.e. nobody cares except for the die-hards. This is what Vegas did to her.

Also, please do make a difference between Celine, the daughter/wife/mom/own-tomato-picker, and Celine, the artist. As a fan (a die-hard to that) I do have a right to be disappointed when my idol is stepping back from what had made her a role model in my teenage years and that was not only her talent, but also her success and most of all - her drive and diligent work to achieve that success, which ultimately made her the raining queen of worldwide charts and there wasn't a single person on this planet who didn't know her name.

Also, let's have a look at Madonna, shall we? She's comparable in magnitude. You might think she's the Material girl, simulating an orgasm on her Blond ambition tour, while spitz-cone-bra males triger her senses, but, oh surprise, she's a mother of four! Yes, a mother of four! Yet, she continuously tours the world, her songs DO get played on the radio, she has number ones and you can hear her music at any given night club at least twice or thrice on any given evening. Her fanbase grows and her marketing strategy works way better than Celine's. And she still has her home and her four children. Celine could easily do the same if she wanted to. Yet, I haven't heard a single one of her songs on the radio since forever! Not even TC, nothing! Her releases do not get shipped on time where I live (that happened to AND DVD, ML Single and the new D'eux release) and during the TC tour there was not even one sold out concert in Germany. In fact, half of her concerts in Germany were not even sold halfway through.

 

Anyway, as a die hard fan, who has spend most of his conscious life adoring this woman, making her a role model for what she's achieved and the way she struggled and the drive she had in order to be number 1, I do have the right to be disappointed and to voice opinions about my hopes and expectations for this artist. I do understand her wishes, but that doesn't make me any less disappointed and heart broken. While American fans and some filthy rich fans from all over the globe do get to see her in Las Vegas once a year or even more often, I am not one of them, so I am shut out, because I am out of Celine's economical fan requirement league, quite obviously.

 

So, if you want to think I'm a horrible person because of all of this, as some quite hastily already did, then so be it, I'm fine with that.

 

Just a piece of my mind.

[stevo]

It is true that her promotion and marketing strategies are God-awful. One single with a video, then nothing. This has to change. Of course she still wnats to succeed- otherwise, why would she bother. No one wants to release an album just to let it fade away (hehe) into obscurity without anyone knowing about it. I hope Rene has taken note of all that's going on in the industry the last couple of years. It's not good enough to have a special with Oprah anymore...it's not even good enough to fanny about in a Rolls Royce with your picture on the side of it AKA Mimi- her album hasn't even reached top 20 has it? In the UK? Sorry off topic, nevermind- just mean to say, that they need to be on the game with her promotion. Alone could have been a big UK hit but its release was kind of a non-event

Just a piece of my mind.

 

 

First a reaction to the last part of your reply: I don't think you're a horrible person, in fact I love it when people have an opinion and like to express it. Actually I encourage people to tell what's on their mind because I love a good talk with decent arguments

 

Concerning Taking Chances... It's true that this album wasn't promoted very well, in fact it wasn't promoted at all. But his is not the fault of her being in Vegas, it's the fault of the marketing department who is responsible to market the product... So don't blame Vegas, blame the guys sitting behind their desks thinking about how (or how not) to promote a new album... If there is no co-operation from the marketing department and insufficiënt funds are provided there's little that an artist can do to get a specific album more airplay/advertisement/etc...

 

Why should you make a difference between Céline the mom and Céline the artist? Céline the mom is the artist and Céline the artist is the mom, there are no 2 different Céline's... Regarding Madonna... Madonna is also one of the few artists who reached the top on maybe a different way then Céline did. Céline was and is more modest... Céline is more like any of us, just someone like you and me while Madonna is and was a controversial person. You can't compare Madonna with Céline, their both different and reached the top on different paths... Madonna did it by releasing some catchy tunes, she posed nude for her book, she played (again nude) in a Hollywood movie, she always wore provocating clothes... While Céline was more modest, she started to sing in her parents bar, she went to the Eurovision song contest and she gained the love of her fans mostly by (power)ballads... Although both are making so called "pop music" there's a huge difference between both. And yes, Madonna is a mother of four but let's be honnest, while Céline places her family on the highest spot you can't say the same by Madonna... It seems that with Madonna the only thing that counts is her career and making the press, no matter what they write, as long if they write something about her, she's happy... While I like Madonna's music also I have way more respect for Céline than for Madonna...

 

And yes, you can hear Madonna's songs in clubs while this is rare with Céline's songs, but then again, Madonna her songs are different from Céline's... Madonna her songs are better suited to be played in any club. If you would like that Céline's songs will be played in clubs then Céline has to make other kind of songs but I doubt it will work, any artist has his of her type of song that fit's best.

 

But I do agree that Madonna's marketing works way more better then Céline's... But like I've stated before, this is not something you can pin onto "Vegas"... Vegas makes no difference in how they market Céline...

 

Here in Belgium you can hear every single day plenty of Céline's songs on the radio, from Taking Chances to even the song she brought on the Eurovision songfestival "Ne partez pas sans moi" which I heard yesterday on the radio... I can't say anything about Germany since I don't frequently visit Germany but I heard Céline songs on the Dutch, French and British radiostations... A couple of weeks ago I was on holiday in the USA and even there I heard plenty of songs... Even a while ago when I was in Denmark I heard songs... She definately receives plenty of airplay, more then some others... You can't play day in and day out songs of Céline on the radio, people wouldn't appreciate this, to make good radio you'll need a decent mix of songs and with hundreds of thousands (actually millions of songs) to choose from it's not always easy and yes on some days there isn't a song from Céline in the playlist... But this doesn't mean she's forgotten...

 

Regarding the shipping: This is a fault of the distributor or the recordcompany...

 

You have certainly the right to be disappointed but on the other hand maybe everyone needs to ask themself "am I expecting to much?". Maybe we all expect to much those days? Just some remark I made to myself...

 

 

Unfortunately there is one sentence in your reply that I don't like much:

 

While American fans and some filthy rich fans from all over the globe do get to see her in Las Vegas once a year or even more often, I am not one of them, so I am shut out, because I am out of Celine's economical fan requirement league, quite obviously.

 

Céline Dion is Canadian, she lives in Northern America with houses in Canada and the USA so it's more then normal that she spends more time on the American continent then every other place on this globe. Just like Bono lives in Europe and will spend more time in Europe then in Northern America... Could you blame her for that? No you can't, Canada is her native country and the USA is her second home country. You can't require that she leaves her "home" constantly to please her fans. She has a live too you know...

 

Maybe you don't know it, but America is a huge country, some people living in the same country have to travel more then some people who are comming from Europa, hell some even have to spend more money to it since we have the current advantage of a weakning Dollar... Maybe they are a little bit benefitted because it's in their native country but again, Céline is Canadian so a Northern American so the USA is also (a bit) her native country...

 

I'm living in Belgium, have a nice job, am not wealthy (and certainly not filthy ) and yet I'm still able to travel on a regular base... Due my passion for travel I lilke to spend money to travelling instead of buying designer or even clothes from a certain brand. I don't buy multiple pairs of shoes to switch every day, I don't smoke, I even don't drink... I receive a decent pay which I'm happy about even though I'm underpaid with the responsibilities I have but I don't mind since I love my job a lot... And I try to save a euro or so on everything I buy... When I go to a store to buy some electronics, book, get new a new pair of glasses I'm always negociating for a better price... And while it's considered "not done" in our country I'm always doing it (Something I've earned from my job since I'm one for the fleetmanagers responsible for buying trucks,cars, etc... negotiating is something that runs through my blood). Even when going on a holiday I'll try to get a better price for my tickets or the hotel. And with saving airmiles I can buy a transatlantic returnticket every one or 2 years for free... If you look (very) hard you will see that you can travel far for a cheap price Even to Las Vegas... My last flight I've booked to Vegas did cost less then 350 EUR... For that fee you can't travel within Europe with a full service air carrier...

 

Céline doesn't have a "economical fan requirement league" and will never have such thing. Every single fan is important to her, where he or she lives doesn't matter, nor does it matter if you are rich or poor... Everybody on this planet is equal...

 

To conclude:

 

There is one thing you'll need to understand: she's a native Canadian and will spend always more time in northern America then elsewere in the world, and this is not something we can blame her for...

[Claudette]

Holy crap... where were you guys when I had to write essays for school...

Just a piece of my mind.

Oh, yes, Belgium is wonderful. I even heard Mon ami m'a quitee in a (gay) bar in Bruxelles. I was incredibly happy and couldn't believe my ears at all. Everybody looked at me strangely, because I jumped like crazy and really had the time of my life. Yes, lame, totally not cool, I know. But I really didn't give a flying **** at the time.

Anyway, nothing like this can ever happen in my part of Europe.

About Celine's music being played in clubs, I simply cannot disagree less. Celine has some really nice dance mixes and some of them have even held the number one spot on chart's like the Billboard dance chart. I have also heard from friends of mine, who live in Canada, that her mixes get frequently played at clubs in Canada. And while this is understandable, since she's Canadian, it simply suggests that her music, even though playable in clubs, doesn't get played elsewhere obviously.

Even though Madonna and Celine are very different in terms of personality and in terms of career per se, they are comparable. And I strongly believe that the (art)works of an artist, being an integral party of their personality, do not equal it. So, yes, I do make a difference with Celine as an artist, as her own work of art, if you wish, and Celine, the private person. Even though it seems that we get to know most of her private life and personality and it seems that she is really letting us in, I do believe that she withholds most of it in order to secure her privacy and this is perfectly normal.

Also, saying that Madonna doesn't care that much about her family is something I also do not believe, since she tours only when her kids have a vacation, so they could travel with her and she could be with them. She guards her privacy much more then Celine does. Just because her anatomy has been on show numerous times, doesn't mean that her soul has been revealed.

I also think that we have misunderstood each other. I wasn't trying to suggest that TC has something to do with Vegas, rather the other way around - that being in Vegas made her much less "hip" then she's ever been, and she was hip in the nineties, we know that for a fact, made it even harder on TC to be marketed properly and get the global exposure almost every other album of hers got in the past.

About the last part, which you really didn't like I can only say that everybody has a different lifestyle. I do smoke, I do drink, I do go out, and I do fancy chic and hip clothes every once in a while. I like to enjoy life with all the pleasantries it can offer, so I don't like having to give up one for the other. And, yet again the Madonna example - she's an American, yet, her S&S 2009 tour hit only Europe and Israel. Much like Sarah Brightman is British and European, but she's been on the road for an year now and there's not even a hint of her considering coming to Europe. There are many examples. Anyway, I know that settling down is obviously something different. Yet, I do want to see my idol having global success and visiting places I can easily reach. Of course those expectation might be too much and too egoistic to some, but that's their point of view. If we were in the nineties, when she was touring the world, nobody would ever have thought of stating that those expectations are too much. I guess what I'm trying to say is that everybody is entitled to think differently, whatever tag somebody else would put to it. After all opinions are like a**es - everybody has one.

[Prince Whiskers]

Whatever suits her. The music industry is dying a slow, painful death anyway. Abysmal sales.

 

And please, people, TCH actually outsold Hag Candy in big markets like the US and the UK. With wayyyy less promo.

It might have outsold it, but Hard Candy is a famous album. And while 4 minutes was a hit, followed by a comparatively well doing Give it to me, TC was something almost nobody really heard of, followed by absolutely nothing that matters.

Exactly, the main point is: it's not all about sales. Promotion could have had a transcendental part here, for TC to became a famous album. But oh well...

[CelineDionFan710]

Yes thats true

Oh, yes, dreaming of 1997, when Madonna desperately tried to move Celine away from #1 and failed miserably. Loved it. Anyway, TC didn't need massive amounts of promotion, although "massive" should be just about right in comparison to what it had. It's just needed a little push here and there at the right places, a better marketing strategy, and a better choice of not as poorly released singles and it would have been a massive hit, because TC is, after all, a masterpiece album, while Hard Candy, which got much more attention, while likable and danceable (is that a word!? ), is artistically "acceptable" at best.

[Claudette]

Well, at least you and I can agree on the fact that TC is a masterpiece... It is really a shame that they chose the wrong songs to release as singles...

[browseceline]

I don't get the fact that they did not release Shadow of Love! Could have been a hit I think. Or Fade Away..Or Surprise surprise

[Shaun]

Well, at least you and I can agree on the fact that TC is a masterpiece... It is really a shame that they chose the wrong songs to release as singles...

 

It's always the same though with Sony. Whoever is responsible for choosing Celine's singles needs to think hard about their role in Celine's career.

 

Some examples of the continuously poor singles choices over the years:

 

- Treat Her Like A Lady killed the LTAL album when Just A Little Bit Of Love should've been released.

- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face from ATW when it should've been Then You Look At Me or I Want You To Need Me.

- Goodbye's The Saddest Word killed the ANDHC album overnight. Should've released I Surrender or When The Wrong One Loves You Right

- Releasing One Heart from One Heart when something like Reveal would've been much better.

- Taking Chances and Alone from TC when the whole world was waiting to hear NEW ORIGINAL material from Celine.

 

Same old story over the years, wrong singles from Sony.

[Prince Whiskers]

Celine could've stayed away from Vegas for 5 yrs. and the singles off TCH would've flopped just the same.

[Davey84]

Well, at least you and I can agree on the fact that TC is a masterpiece... It is really a shame that they chose the wrong songs to release as singles...

- Waiting way to long to release a horrible video for Et Je T'Aime Encore and waiting even longer to release a brilliant video yet no physical single for Contre Nature killed 1F4T

- Immensité killed D'elles, while A Cause (mix) should have been released with an awesome video, together with On S'est Aimer a Cause...

 

Edited December 5, 2009 at 12:30 PM by Davey84

[Shaun]

Agreed Davey and there are probably yet more examples.

[Davey84]

yeah! but maybe the biggest... not releasing Seduces Me from FIY as a (last) single! I think that song could have been a great hit and could have given FIY that extra little push...

[mirage]

- Immensité killed D'elles, while A Cause (mix) should have been released with an awesome video, together with On S'est Aimer a Cause...

 

They had release A Cause sooner, she did some 'promo' for it in Paris back then, but they never released that i think.

That song would be a bomb... after that release Le Temps Qui Compte...

yeah!!! that performance was really cool! it even had a dance (and fire!!??) the interview and the little part she sang with that boy were also never aired I believe! Edited December 5, 2009 at 02:23 PM by Davey84

Vegas didnt kill celines career, if anything it solidifed how popular she is selling out the entire 5 years. It was insane. Secondly, whether she was in vegas or not had no bearing on whether she would be played on TOP 40 anymore. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are no longer being played on Top 40 near as much as they used to be...its that "Diva" generation that has passed.

Holy crap... where were you guys when I had to write essays for school...

 

 

Haha No kidding! I read the first Novel, but I skipped through the rest lol. I'm more of a face to face talker lol. Anywho, i think I'd be awesome for Celine to do a few shows in Vegas...of course I would love it because it's so close to me So i guess it's more of a selfish reason lol.

I sure hope when she does announce she is returning that we have another thead to start with.

I totally agree with you all, Sony sucks when it comes to promoting Celines Albums. They pick the worse songs, as singles for promoting her albums. Also, if Celine does go back to Vegas it is only an hour and a half flight to Vegas For me. So it would be more expensive, for people in Europe to travel to Vegas then it is for us in Canada and the U.S. Also for the Fans that live in Europe would have to save allot of money for flight s and hotel rooms. :yes: :yes: Edited December 6, 2009 at 10:51 PM by I Love You
