Celine's Music

[Miller]

Hi guyz, its me again... I starting to make a thread with is really more serious. Hope you ignore this... and i hope that you will also share your ideas.

 

I was listening last night to let's talk about love album, specifically to Miles To Go (before I sleep) and us. and thoughts came to my mind about the music that celine should make nowadays.

 

First we all know that there is a big change in her voice It became more mature, fine, flowless, and much more relaxing... In here previous years, the trademark of Celines music is about love... love that relates to being lonely/craving to have someone. its about looking for the right person to love and the right person to be with... and mostly it relate to us how she really need to be love and to love, and doing everything that she could for her love one, (To Love You More, The Colour of my Love, Only One Road, Next Place Out, Because You love me, etc) and also songs about how she was left alone by her true love (Its All Coming Back To Me Now, The Last To Know, etc)...

 

she also proved to us how versatile she can be, singing songs like those uptempo songs, Love can move mountains, her pop-rock songs, her pop-rap songs, and also songs that are similar to britney spears (Love Is All We Need, Forget Me Not, etc.)

 

I was thinking what songs does she really need to make nowadays. well, my answer for my question is, she should make music that suits her present status, and that is... she is really fulfilled now, and she has everything...

 

In the last decades of her career, she catered mostly to the masses, you know, typical songs about love, and that's why she gained a lot of fans, because most of the fans can relate to her, but now with a status like hers, and an age like hers, she should start to cater mostly to the elites, people who really know the reall music, not those commercially made songs.

 

I also analyzed that her sales droped down due to song crap songs that she released... I've been a fan for a decade now and sometimes I had to admit that I lose my interest to her due to the songs that she make and due to what I analyzed. She starting to lose fans... When she started singing, talking about when she was still 12 yrs old singer, mostly her fans are the same to her age and those you are older than her, maybe 2 to 5 years gap. But now is shes a 37 yr old diva and the fans that supported her since her first act also grew older. So I think she need to make her music more maturely.

 

We can't expect a 37 year old diva with that status to sing similar songs of her from the 90s and songs that cater youths today. We wondering why critics really pissed off when she released one heart. I have analyzed that an age like that would sing songs that a teenager should sing, you know what I mean? For me it is nice because somehow she had proven again that she could sing any kind of songs. and what i have seen when she released one heart, most of the youths did not enjoy this album, because it is really for me not good for a 30-37 year old diva would sing songs like these (Love is all we need, rain, tax it inevitable, superlove, etc)

 

I think she had proven to us that shes very versatile and had a nice voice. But now I think she should use her voice to songs that really suits her present voice and status. I remember one article that says that when she sang it's all coming back to me now in A New Day, her emotions before did not exist because she is well fullfilled and happy. you know what i mean?

 

So I think, she should start singing songs that have a great lyrics like Miles to go, Us, etc. lyrics that suits her age, and of course not to mention it should use a higher english words for mature listeners. I also think that she should make music like jazz, pop ballads, etc. and I think she would excel more when she sings about life, about her powerful experiences that could influence the public, like in the song Have you ever been in love, I really like how she delivered the song because I could fill how happy she is when she found love and how love affect her life. Songs that are slow and a little up tempo would do good for her present career. I want to listen to a new Celine sings songs similar to Have you ever been in love, I know what love is, miles to go before I sleep, Aint gonna look the other way... for me its stronger celine listen to those songs....

 

of course she should not change completely because we will miss the old celine...but what I mean is that she should be more mature and released albums that are not so commercially made.

 

Hope you didn't became bored reading this topic. hehehe I am really open to anyone to contradict my opinion and also to those who like my opinion. Please share your ideas folks....

 

CELINE RULES....

[Bellamy]

Celine already started make more mature music. Miracle is the perfact example. Is there any other Diva make album so not commercial like this? and her French music is always more versatile than English music. I think One Heart is just an exception of Celine's music development map, cause it's just an album for Chrysler commercial. It should be filled by pop tunes, not some deep, thoughtful even hurtful songs. I'm fine with what Celine did, doing and will do.

[1Celine12]

I really like the old Céline. I don't think that she should change. If she did change, we wouldn't get used to it. I like the old Céline. Why? Because I can relate to her. She can relate to me, through music of course. I value your opinion of course, but I don't want to see a new Céline Dion. I like her just the way she is. And I'm sure that most of the fans feel the same way as I do.

[DjCeline]

she has to sing songs with deep lyrics and a strong message, but she needs to have some commerical songs too. if not her albums wouldn't be bought. this is a market strategy. think of other people who are not fans. they don't know Celine as we know. they don't feel her the same way.

I agree with Bellamy. i think Miracle is the perfect proof that she has grown up...

as for me..i like Celine like she was, like she is and no matter what i will love her forever because her music poures happiness and tranquility into my soul.

that's the way it is..

[Mozinha]

I think Celine is doing very good so far. She is an incredible singer.

Céline is an entertainer. She is much more that one or two songs, she is a full talented woman. You can't judge an artist because she has 1 or 2 song that doesn't sound good, it doesn't make anyone a bad artist. Maybe Britney Spears has 2 or 3 songs that are actually good and it doesn't make her a good artist either. Celine is a talented woman, she makes great music. Miracle and 1F4T are the perfect examples of that.

 

Most of her fans come to her because of her voice and as far as I know she hasn't lost her voice. Should we decide not to be fans anymore because we don't like a song that her wonderful voice performed perfectly?

 

I don't think she is loosing fans. Someone who loses fans does not have a success like hers in Vegas. If she was loosing fans she wouldn't sell tickets to her show. She wouldn't make people travel from distant countries just to see her.

 

I don't think she is doing music not apropriate for her age. By the way, music has no age. Now that she's almost 40 she must sing "older music"? Makes no sense at all.

 

I don't think and I hope from the bottom of my heart that Celine will never change. This is the woman and the artist we've all grown to love and this is what we expect from her. If someone expects something completely different... must be listening to the wrong singer.

 

This is her way, her feelings, her moods and we must respect it. If she changes we won't recognize her anymore. It's just her choice. Now you can also choose to listen to someone more mature or more jazz if you want to. This is Céline, like it or not.

[kdw123]

I don't think Celine should change either! I understand the points made here. And I agree that she has to have commercial songs otherwise radio stations won't play her singles.

 

She has a wonderful voice and I want her to continue being exactly like she is. I agree One Heart wasn't the best of her albums, but I think it was an exception mainly because of Chrystler.

 

And who says she has to sing songs equal to her age. Look at Cher and Tina Turner, they sing what they feel is great.

[Miller]

Ok thanks, because you enlightened me... I think I was just carried away when I was listening to her albums released in the 90... actually that nice i was looking for inspirations, one of my depressed nights, so i listened to her songs with deep meaning and deep words, that's why i think i was just carried away... songs like, miles to go before i sleep, us, where is the love, have you ever been in love, ain't gonna look the other way, the last to know, oxygen... etc...

 

but going back to my statements, actually what i mean of a new celine is that she needs to sing more songs that have a deep meaning of love, friendship, life, motherhood (not just lullaby)...for me its a nice project to do... Also, my deepest sorry, when i said that she should stop making commercial songs, well, i think she needs to do that also, because she might lose the spotlight in front of her, know what i mean? sorry guys, but i really appreciate your enlightenment to me...

 

Of course i don't want to lose the old Celine, the celine as a performer I mean...

 

But what do you think of my statements in the second paragraph?

[Koolan]

I also agree that Celine shouldn't change her style of music, like Monica said, music has no age Of course, she needs to record music that's commercially attractive. She's got a wonderfu voice, don't waste it on crappy songs like on the One Heart album. This woman can sing any type of song and make it sound good. Celine must sing jazz I can see her stepping toward that direction one day.

[Miller]

Yeah,,, Celine definitely has a wonderful voice, the best ever, most flowless ever... But I think that singing crappy songs wont give her justice... with a voice like her, she should not sing crap songs like in one heart... I also love to have someday a collection of celines jazz album... I kinda like her voice when she sings jazz...

[VLADIMIR]

very nice topic and very suitable critics.

concerning french songs, it's almost perfect passing by her old songs , dion chante plamendon, d'eux, s'il suffisait d'aimer,une fille et quatre types, the 4 songs dedicated to Eddy Marney, ma nouvelle france..........the question is what next because it' always almost perfect.

I would like hear her singing more blues, jazz, opera notes,soul,

some complete songs/melodies without words only notes,opera and emotional stuff like she did on tapis rouge,a song dedicated to the Pope, a duet with Michael Bolton,a whole love songs album (slow songs with no computerized sound effects, little use of drums. no electric guitare, more interesting and seducing melodies:ex the music of frozen of madonna ..............

i love you celine.can't wait to hear more from you.

I love and grew up loving Celine the way she is. Anything she does it's not an unexpected thing to me at all, it's her way. Even the blond hair everyone hated, I loved it because it was her way, she felt good like that, she really enjoyed it and felt strong. Maybe that's why I love Celine, because she never really cared about what other think of her clothes and her looks and her gestures and her kind of songs. She just does what she loves and she does everything from the heart.

This is what I see in her, this is why I love her, this is why I'm here now, this is I'm her fan for 17 years. I don't want her to change at all. I just want her to always do everything she likes and from the heart.

[Miller]

I also love Celine, In fact I grow up with her music.... I was a fan for a decade now. And the reason why I like her is that she is true, strong, and really have a nice voice. I like everything that she does...

 

What I mean about this topic is that... what if she should start singing something different... like what vladimir said... I didn't say that I do not like Celine now because she is singing crappy and more commercial songs... but I just want to her something new.... music which she never sang before, music genre like, blues, jazz, acoustique, even songs like Frozen by madonna...

 

Why have I think of this? well because I know what Celine can do with her voice and emotions... I also don't like her to change her style of performing.... I want her to keep it up, because she's good on that... but I just want her to try something new,... I know that she could reach a nigh note,,, she could put a lot of emotions to a song... a powerful one, one that could influence and persuade... a lot of moods... you know what I mean....????

 

But i also dont want to stop her singing commercial songs because that's the reason for her to sell.... but what I have stated above is that I suggest that someday she could do that...

[Mozinha]

All I want is that Céline does something that she really likes, that she really feels, that makes her feel good because I'm sure this will come out wonderful as she always does.

That's all I want from her.

[piglot82]

I know that she only sings songs that she loves and I think it shows. I wouldn't care what styles she sings in as long as she is having fun and continues to love what she is doing. Although, personally I would prefer no more remakes. I like the orginal songs much better.

[Falbala]

I want a jazz album!!
