Céline under attack for using playback

August 18, 2008 at 02:25 AM

I wish this topic would be deleted once and for all. Now that the forum is becoming more popular and recognized among journalists as a good information source when they're writing about Celine, this is just giving them cold hard ammunition to stir the pot and create controversy. The last thing I want to see is Celine being discredited for her singing abilities. Can you imagine how this could ruin her? How much respect she would lose for her fellow music colleagues (did you see how Elton John lashed out about Madonna's lipping?).

Forget all the good things that have happened until this point in the tour...this is what they will print; this is what people want to read. I wish everyone would just give it a rest. She lips, okay, life goes on. Every singer out there does it and I'm sure her voice would sound like an old engine by now if she didn't through the years. It's okay to vent out about how much we hate it (especially how awkward it was during the CBS special), but nearly 600 posts is just way too harsh. Why doesn't everyone go on iTunes and review her albums instead? There is a measly 18 reviews for All The Way on there.

Well it's about dang time! FINALLY someone is on my side.

I personally feel it's a risk that Celine/her management takes every night, they should know they are cheating true fans, and so should face any consequences. Please note the use of the word true-fans, not die-hard who claim they would pay hundreds of £/$/€ just to be in her presence, because in all seriousness those people need their heads examined if they are serious in what they say. From my point of view, i paid €250 for PREMIUM SEATING to watch her lip on a rented stage with not even so much as fireworks or ticker-tape to add a bit of wow. So i wouldn't be jumping or biting my tongue to save Celine's pride. She's paid more than enough for her troubles.

I don't usually review albums/movies etc because like all things in life it's subjective. But i might make an exception in celine's case. "Buy this album and save yourself the cost of a concert ticket."

First of all - please, stop repeating that "everybody" or „every singer” is using playback. Because it’s simply not true. It’s true only for several - more or less credible - “pop-stars”, but Madonna, Britney and co are not “everybody”, thank God. Saying so you’re offending most musicians on the planet Earth (including singers).

Secondly, I don’t have much doubt that the journalists already know about Celine’s lipping just as they know about the others doing that only they don’t want to start the discussion. There’s no bussines like show bussines, isn’t it, everybody knows that, everybody’s getting their part and why spoil it? Because it’s simply dishonest? Hehe, let me laugh, music is entertainment, it’s not important enough for them - after all nobody is forced to buy a concert ticket, it’s not like food or something. So they don’t give a f***. Isn’t it significant that it was Elton John - one of her peers – who started the talk about Madonna’s playback? Do you really think that the journalists didn’t know?

But (third) – it IS dishonest and it is cheating. Because most people in the audience don’t have a clue. Playback in concert is something they don’t expect – certainly not when they go to Celine Dion concert. So don’t tell that okay okay, so she’s lipping, what’s the big deal, I know she’s lipping still I loved the concert etc. I mean - OK, if you KNOW that you can make your choice. But most people don’t – they’re not given the choice and THAT’S the real issue.

And that’s why this thread should not be closed.

And Celine and her management has to face the (eventual) consequences of their doings just like the rest of the mortals – why not?

moi je ne sais pas pourquoi vous faites tout ca pour le playback , celine ne chante que 3 titres en playback et CE N4EST PAS GRAVE

Many many many others here are on your side but it seems that some will make this topic go on and on for ever. I won't repeat myself anymore either, last post here for me. So many wannabe justice dispensers on this board it has become ridiculous now. Make your opinion and choices and let others live their own life doing the same, including Céline. Don't underestimate people's intellect. If you don't agree, it has been said in every possible way now I think. If you want to be detractors or justice dispensers then write yourself to her management if you feel like it or stop going to her show. It's also your choice but it's time someone puts an end to all those repetitive comments by people who are so called people full of virtue. Some make me laught a lot thinking life has begun with their birth, you should have gone against Michael Jackson who has made a career of lipping or against Madonna who's voice is manipulated my studio machines since day one, like many others...just as example I liked both artist. All those things are well known, it's showbusiness! Céline is one of the most talented singer with the best voice to have come along and has dedicated her whole life to built her career and prove she was a true talent. Whatever some say, this is a recognize and true fact known by people and all the industry. So now, I suggest if I may, to many on this topic to put their time on trying to do 1/100% of that for yourself and try to be happy and make others happy, just like Céline has succeded to do in the last 20 years and still does. Fans, diehard fans or not, that has nothing to do with being tired and bored to read people repeating themselve :whistling: for ever. It's my second and last time repeating myself on this topic.

In six month Céline's tour will be over. She'll take a break for "at least" a year, I would think a lot more than a year personnally. It would be nice to enjoy what is left of this tour and let others enjoy it too. How many great female singers have you seen on tour in recent years? I didn't. Some write, compose and don't perform much. I can't wait to attend her show myself soon. Enjoy Céline and enjoy your life everyone. Just my 2 cents.

nobody keeps you from enjoying the tour.

have fun jumping up after "the power of love" after listening to a 15year-old-recording, or screaming after "my heart will go on" was brought to you on TAPE, enjoy the amazingly recorded high note of "all by myself" - and - not to forget, this amazing LIVE experience is also kicked of with a fabulous playback tape of "i drove all night".

this will be great. maybe she´ll send an impersonator next time moving her lips to the prerecordings - would be also ok, wouldn´t it?

i mean - give her a break. she needs to rest. she is probably really tired. right?

she has proven that she can - no need to this anymore, right?

how can people be so mean and critizise her for lipsynching? i don´t get it. leave her alone!!!

she is only charing 250 eur per tickert for this concert - how can you ask this tired woman, after her five years in vegas, to sing every song live???

:sofunny:

August 18, 2008 at 01:02 PM

It wouldn't be dull, it would be refreshing. And that is because she's performing the same old songs that she has done for YEARS. This was the perfect opportunity to dump the songs that she can't do anymore (TPOL, TLYM etc etc etc) and do something totally new, acoustic maybe. Why not totally transform that standards she feels she must perform each night and sing them live? It's the Taking Chances tour! She's never had an opportunity to go crazy but this was the perfect time and they let it slip by. How about an acoustic version of TLYM, a bluesy version of TPOL, a gentle version of whatever...do them as a short medley and get them out of the way and bring in songs from her reportoire that she hasn't done for a while but that she could actually sing live. Maybe Unison, Where Is The Love, A New Day Has Come etc. There are loads of songs she could sing live that aren't mega-hard like TPOL. But I'd rather her drop a few songs and sing them all live than keep up this charade, and I don't even have to think about that for a second.

I kinda agree with all this. Personally I think she should consider doing concerts like that. Not necessarily stop singing the old stuff, but just put it into a new coat. I like the acoustic idea.

This is so unbelieveably arrogant- do you realise that many of the people on this forum reading this thread have never seen Celine live? She means the absolute world to so many people and to see her standing, performing, even miming her greatest hits would be a dream come true to so many fans. You shouldn't assume becuase you know every little note she sings live or playbacks that this quantifies you with the power to detract from what people can gain from her show.

Why are you even on this forum? - like seriously- I'm all for a difference of opinion and disapproval of Celine's actions - she's not perfect- but imagine you were going to see her for the very first time, that you were on this forum to read all the exciting reviews, that you'd dreamt about it or as long as you can remember and then this topic with idiotic comments like yours to totally ruin all the magic...

Who the F cares if she mimes a few songs anyway??? Taking the piss now

August 18, 2008 at 01:48 PM

I may get slated for this....

I think it's more than reasonable that we expect any artist to sing live in concert. Paying over £100 to see someone who mimes is not on. I adore the woman and I'm not entirly convinced that all the songs people say she mimes are in fact mimed. But it's a LIVE concert. These people make their names by singing, so when we pay our hard earned money and go and she whoever, they should at least have the decency to sing live. If they can't sing live for so many shows well then maybe they shouldn't be doing so many shows. If they can't sing live because of all the dancing they do, well don't bloody dance!

I went to see Kylie and she sings live every night, not bad for someone who is constabntly slagged for her voice. In fact she has a much better voice than most people give her credit for. She's no where near Celines league but at least it's all live.

I'm off to see Madonna this weekend and I can say with 100% certainty that some songs will be mimed.

August 18, 2008 at 02:29 PM

I guess just to offer a viewpoint from the affected/not affected in the ways concerned.. or whatever.

I've seen Celine twice.. recent enough that I'm still freshly enjoying the privilege of being a fan who all of a sudden crossed over into the realm in which Celine is an actual human being. I'm seeing her in 3 weeks again. Detachedly and honestly, this thread here did in fact dampen my excitement, it somehow managed to begin inspiring images of half her songs being lipped and me never knowing if what I heard was her or her transplanted from a cd, and thinking how vastly my potential enjoyment would drop because I'd in the concert never know whether she really sang something or not.

So that was dumb of me to sit here and read through pages what, 5-20, and I don't suppose every concert goer is going to sit here and pour over the intricacies of this thread which I in my lackluster life might be free to do. But prolonged exposure to the microscope which has been taken to her recent habits did unexpectedly rub off. I was ready to be all impartial about the issue too but then I found my hyper-fan side having to youtube videos of her singing live for reassurance and consolation.

By all means, carry on debating.. I think it inspires a healthy professional interest in Celine and our relationship with her.. I think it holds her and management to higher standards.. and the seed of doubt planted in silly concert goers like I who delve into such discussions as their form of pre-gaming is sufficiently easily done away with. If this becomes a big media issue then that's probably the worse for all the Celine fans out there, but personally I believe it's enough of a tired old issue from the days of MJ and Madonna et al. that even if it hits the media (which it has, really) it's not going to blow up into anything big. Simultaneously however, uh I'm really not sure what there is left to really discuss beyond what has already been said.

an um.. that's my not very enlightening perspective.

it´s the truth - if the truth ruins the magic then it is not my fault. i did not force her to lipsynch.

she and her team chose to do so - not me.

so don´t blame me for ruining anything - celine and team are ruining it - for 200 EUR per ticket.

if you think i am doing it nonetheless - at least i am doing it for free.

Celine might just be a small part of your cd collection but for other fans on here she is an idol. They cherish her. And, like stevo says, there are people who have never seen her live who would give anything for the privilege. Moreover, there are fans who have seen her live and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It seems to me that you are not just content expressing your opinion, you seem determined to ruin Celine in everybody else's eyes.

Your illusions may have been shattered but you seem to take pleasure in shattering those of others.

Alhough some fans remain in denial, most of us here know she uses playback. We have known this for a long time...

fred chose not to buy a ticket for the show because he knew he would disapprove...

I chose to buy several tickets and expected to be disappointed. Thankfully I was not, and I bought more...

We can all make our choices based on our own ideas and beliefs but I can't work out what you hope to achieve by you constant bad mouthing of Celine. It's almost conspicuous.

He's an "Ex-fan". All he want is try to make as many fans dislike Celine as possible. Maybe that would make him feels like he gets his 200 Euros ticket value back. :rolleyes: He's even worse than lambs.

August 18, 2008 at 03:37 PM

Like Mutton?

August 18, 2008 at 03:57 PM

I think it's pretty sad that she's lost fans over this. I'm just as dissapointed as some others, but I would never turn my back on her because of this issue. I don't think there's a person on this forum that *wouldn't* want her to cut down on her playbacking, change the setlists, all that. Unfortunatly, the fans are disconnected with her team, so she can't know that many of us dissaprove. The key word is "dissaprove". I don't hate her for this, I don't think she's a bad person. If somebody would stop being a fan because of this, I doubt they were even that much of a fan in the first place if something like this could do that to them.

Yes, we dissaprove, i've said it many times in my posts earlier, but we can't do anything about it unless somehow we can contact her or her team. So don't try and ruin her image for others, let people see her as they want to. Some people dissaprove, some people defend it, let them have their opinions. After all, isn't that what a forum is supposed to be? Different minds coming together.

Is that what you call a neutral post? :huh:

I have one or two things to say about people here who don't agree with me, but I see it for what it is: a reaction in the moment where I feel I can't defend my opinion enough and identidy to hard with it, but as soon as I step out of it I see the redicolous in such actions. I aint seeing many of us members here going about using name calling, and it is very bad behavoir of a arch moderator to do so. :nono:

And about this all should be locked away to protect Céline in the media: it isn't this topic which has caused her lipping. You might take away the sunrays by blocking it with a wall, but the sun will still be there.

I see many of you prefer to stay in illusion and see it as your role to protect the illusions of fellow fans. Cute.

I'm just trying to make a post as neutral as some of you who call other fans dumb about the playback issue.

August 18, 2008 at 04:34 PM

I think the fact that you guys tape the show and put in on youtube...then criticize Celine for playback...nothing would have come of this issue if it were not for taping the show...If the press comes on this forum, which they probably already have and said her diehard fans are dissing her...What's next??? I think from us this issue needs to be dropped we are only feeding them...

Taken the wrong way, that comment might seem very patronising... :nono:

It is not about protecting the illusions of others, it's more about respecting them...

We all have our own reasons for liking Celine and for many, those reasons may result from deep-rooted issues... It is therefore not only reckless but also very cruel to repeatedly shatter the illusion of what she is to those people simply because one has had a poor experience at a show, or never even attended the show or simply disagrees with the playback issue.

I can't tell you how much it pains me to hear a fan deny the use of playback. It is sad.

And I might be wrong to want to protect Celine's image in the media, even if I know about the playback and disapprove of it..

But I cannot see what is to be gained from being rude or patronising or from apparently wanting to set up an anti-Celine camp in a Celine Dion forum.

I know if I had lost respect or admiration for Celine I would not visit the forum. And this isn't a thinly-veiled accusation that certain people should not be here or that anybody who is capable of expressing a negative opinion about Celine can no longer deem themselves a fan. That in itself is utter nonsense... but this witch hunt is getting absurd.

August 18, 2008 at 05:45 PM

You know, I love Celine for the kind of person she is and I love her voice and music. It does not stop me from being a fan, although I am disappointed in her.

But to all of you who seem to think it's okay for her to lip synch some parts of her concert, let me ask you this: if she lipped the entire concert, every concert, every show appearance, every special, would that still be okay with you? Because I don't know about you, but when I pay a lots of money to see someone live, I expect them to live up to that money. I'm sorry, but too much lipping is not accepted. I went to some concerts of hers in the 90's, there was no lipping then. I expected better from her and I may be disappointed in her, but I will never stop being a fan. Yet it doesn't make it right.

August 18, 2008 at 05:50 PM

I was so happy for the Montreal's concert! She just sing 2 songs in playback, wich i completely accept!

August 18, 2008 at 06:32 PM

FOR ALL THOSE WHO DON'T THINK ALL BY MYSELF IS LIVE....

listen to JP's new video from montreal and compare it to boston

in montreal towards the end after the high note she does the other note

"ooooooohhhhhhh oooooo-ooooooooooohhhhhh....by myself" towards the end...she does a little scream there

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YYt2XcImoQ

but in boston if you listen...that little scream isnt there

also...what is one of giveaways for playback...the quivering of the mouth, but she doesn't do it during all by myself...or alone for that matter

I'm quite bored by the whole topic now. Why can't people just focus on the good parts to the show?? And yes i think people would be more annoyed - even the hardcore Celine fans - if the whole show was mimed. But that's the point, there's not much of the show that is mimed. I think everyone's said everything there is to say about this now. Just my opinion though :hmm:

Have just watched the youtube videos of the Montreal concert and IDAN is deffinatley not playback its is LIVE in Montreal ...you go Celine and sing your heart out. All I can say is that this forum only slags Celine hardly anyone says a good word about her and you call yourselves fans. I for one will not be posting here anymore. I know she has her faults but we are lucky that she is touring some Stars dont tour and I bet their fans dont slag her. If your not happy with her then don't go to the concert no one is forcing you to buy the tickets are they.

Those videos sound exactly the same to me. Only the high note is lipped! Aside from the fact that she never sings two notes identical EVER, look at her face while she's doing the high note. She opens her mouth and turns down her eyebrows like she's nailing a high note, but you can tell its a fake expression! I don't know why it's not more obvious to some people.
