"ALONE" an official U.S. flop... on former staple format AC


Recommended Posts

i think a more upbeat song...possibly eyes on me...with a live video. cuts of the show to promote the tour and later dvd release. i think her new album is awesome if people would give it the chance. a lot of people i know are like "oh, yeah, celine dion" but this album is different to her previous stuff i think. and i think it could be a big success if there was more promotion about how she has updated her sound. live videos take little work to be honest and are awesome at not only promoting the artist and the song but, like i said, the tour, dvd etc.

 

i looooooooove alone and i love celine's version the best (of course) but it is very stereotypical of the kind of songs she has always done. i think something new. and there is new stuff on taking chances...it just needs to be heard.

 

i also may be very wrong, but i don't think celine would fire rene. she has made it clear (and rightly so, in my opinion) that her family comes first. and i think she puts her love and trust in him. i think if he "retired" then she would as well. i don't honestly see one without the other.

Well, this doesn't exactly make me "happy," but it is nice to know that others are finally acknowleding what I said in the previous "Alone" thread that was also started by Chuck. Rene seriously needs to stop being her Manager and continue to be her loving husband and a loving father to his children. He either has no clue what's going on in the music industry anymore, simply doesn't have the time for it, simply doesn't care, or all or a mixture of all of the above.

 

I know that he or someone on his team reads these boards. It was proven when Taking Chances was previewed at The Colosseum last year and Rene made a comment about my pacemaker joke. So with that said...

 

RENE - GET "FADE AWAY," "SHADOW OF LOVE," "EYES ON ME," OR "SURPRISE SURPRISE" ON THE RADIO WITH A SOLID MUSIC VIDEO, PLEASE!

i guess i'm the only fan of I Got Nothin' Left here. i wish they'll release this as a single, and the NeYo factor is a big plus, and this is not a traditional celine ballad.

Yes, remaking Alone was a mistake. Especially when it was essentially the same as the Heart version but not nearly as powerful - production wise. All the other songs on Taking Chances are mediocre IMHO. What Celine needs is an original blockbuster song that will blow people away.

I guess we will never know what Celine thinks. Maybe she is waiting for her contract to end.

 

I hope it ends soon cause this isnt getting her anywhere. If it wasnt for her huge global and loyal fanbase she wouldnt have the career she has.

She deserves better than this. Shame on you SONY.

I disagree....it's a great remake. It may not be as powerful or rocky as the original (which was the intention), it's still different. And I love it! What I don't love is the way they released the song....

Yes I agree. Good cover version, terrible single choice.

Couldn't agree more. It perfectly fits Taking Chances album but shouldn't have been released as a single especially there were good and strong new tracks.

Sony is proving to be a horrible record company for so many artists. Cyndi Lauper put out a new album and they did nothing to promote that either!

This is going to further prove your point - when did Cyndi Lauper release a new album?

yes!

janet said her label Island Def Jam (universal)...doesnt promote the album too....

this sheet is everywhere...

 

if concerts its all she looks for

she might get a deal with live nation ...

In my opinion Alone is the strongest song on the Taking Chances album. It is a power ballad perfectly suited to Celine. Doesn't surprise me that it was pegged as the single. Again, the only problem IMO is that the song is identified with Heart and they did an already incredible version of it that couldn't be bested. Looking forward to Celine's next blockbuster hit - one that no-one has heard before...

It was about a month ago. :doh:

 

I think "Shadow of Love" would've been a much more suitable single for "gurfren".

 

yes!

Well, in all honesty, as a FORMER Janet fan, she hasn't release a good album in YEARS! This last one was horrible even though it was better than the previous one, which was her worst EVER!

I heard Alone at Bob's Stores today! I'd normally be excited about it, but since it's going nowhere it really doesn't matter, it was great to just hear it on something other than my CD. Edited by karatedude317

Alone is SO alone in not being played its about time for a single and get rid of it from TC tour and replace it with another song like CFTF
Posted

This song...ugh. I like it but it shouldn't have been the single. I had no idea Nothing But My Broken Heart was so big.

 

Shadow of Love is one of those songs I'd love to see released, just to see how it'd perform, but I know it won't happen.

i heard Alone at the Mac's Convienience store at 1:00am here in Canada. Was actually surprised..

Alone is a great great song. However it is too similar to 'Taking Chances'. The ballad like intro building to the rock tempo...She needed something like 'Fade Away'.

 

Sony not promoting their artists?? What a surprise. They need to be shot. Over here in Australia Celine gets basically no promo whatsoever. And that album is brilliant!

I've heard "Nothing Broken But My Heart" and "Water From The Moon" on numerous occassions at Lucky/Albertson's grocery stores. LOL So far no "Alone."

You are definitely right when you said that Heart did an incredible version that couldn't be bested.......Love Celine, but I've always been a huge fan of Ann and Nancy Wilson. I believe that My Love or Fade Away would have done much better as a single. I have called my local AC radio station many times to request Taking Chances and Alone and I've never heard either of them played!!! VERY frustrating! :shrug:

Lets just support this single. there's nothing we can do. its already out.

Doesn't surprise me. The timing was completely off. Sony doesn't bother pushing Celine, and she's also out of the country right now so she can't promote it herself. Wtg Sony! ::)
