Which label would you like Céline to be co-operating with?

[Attendais]

Hi everybody,

I have been just wondering which label Céline would choose.

There is some information, that Céline's ending her contract with SONY by releasing the new album, MY LOVE: ESSENTIAL COLLECTION.

 

From my point of view, she should sing a contract with UNIVERSAL, because it seems like this label promotes the artist the best.

What is your opinion? Maybe you think that Céline should just keep on having a deal with SONY?

Vote and write what you think.

 

Cheers

Hm... Interesting topic. Maybe I shall alone here, but I want, that she kept on with Sony BMG!

[Frida]

I really don't care which one, as long as she's being treated with dignity and respect

[disadiva]

I want that she will stay at Sony because it has merged with Arista and J Records President Clive Davis who is president of Sony Music.

 

I Know he is Whitney´s mentor and everything but i think he likes Celine and will help her making her next album if not i would say Warner Brothers 143 records were David Foster is president i would think he will do the best for Celine signing her to his 143 records. :wub:

[Attendais]

I don't want Sony to be Céline's label again, mostly because of the promotion.

No other label releases this few singles from the new albums as SONY does.

 

Taking Chances was promoted with TAKING CHANCES and ALONE (in some other countries there was also EYES ON ME, in Poland for example), but it is not sufficient.

 

According to it, I'd like you to pay attention to the UNIVERSAL: The Pussycat Dolls, Nelly Furtado etc. From their albums, UNIVERSAL promoted approximately 5-7 singles! Don't you find that strange?

[Dionesque]

I agree that Sony does crappy promo for Céline, esp. in 2000s.

But I also agree with Frida: I don't care which label she goes to (if she really wants to change the label at all).

 

For me Céline has almost reached her own "Barbra-level" for me which, for me, means that she doesn't need big promo anymore as her own name is big enough. Fun on recording, releasing and touring is much more important then all sales and achievements in the charts.

I Totally Agree Celine´s name is so big like Barbra and Whitney´s and Mariah´s acourse though to me Celine is number#1 and i want the best for her Warner or Universal would do so much for her Sony is just old fashion.

[Black Kitten]

i'll still stick to Sony. as i mentioned awhile back, Sony made her one of the biggest recording artists of all time, together with some of the biggest names in the industry like Barbra Streisand and Michael Jackson who are the real asset of the company.

 

sure Sony failed to properly promote her albums after ATW, but let's not overlook what Sony have done to celine's outstanding career. the only reason i see why they didn't bother to promote celine's last albums is that the market needs more new acts. they need to seek for the next big thing in music. she can sell millions and millions of cds by her name alone.

 

the world can't have celine forever.

In fact, i don't care about the name of the label ... i just want they make a good work for her : good promotion with good singles ! It's shame what did Sony BMG with Taking Chances ! There a lot of good songs in this album and they didn't do anything !

[Only one celine]

For me there are possiblities :

1 - she stays with SonyBMG but ask a huge contract so that they have to promote her if they want to earn money.

2 - she signed with another label and have a huge contract so they'll promote her as an honor to have her (Universal/Live Nation)

3 - she creates her own label.

[D'elles]

i'd say PWL (Pete Waterman Limited) as this label could give her so much success in the uk a whole dancy pop album recorded by the PWL team, plus the we'd see a completely new celine and especially in the uk

[ThisTime]

She needs to switch. Sony doesn't do crap for her anymore. She should find a label that is excited about her and wants her to do really well. Edited September 6, 2008 at 04:01 PM by ThisTime

[disadiva]

It would be great idea if she creates her own label at Warner or Universal because they would do so much for her Sony has had Celine for 18 years she needs to change and make somethin new.

It is for her own sake and happiness.

[SuperLove4Celine]

Other - her own.

[Celine-Express]

Universal, I think he can take her carreer with releasing GOOD single.

[Taking Chances]

Universal. Now it's time to pray.

[Matej]

Celine's "music life" and her "big career" is coupled with Sony Music (Sony BMG). Many promotions were very good, thousands singles were published to radio stations and (or) to music shops. I agree, that Taking Chances hasn't good promotion, but promotion for this album is Taking Chances World Tour altogether. It's not shame, that "only" one single from album is aired and other "potential" singles are off. I like promo singles, so Taking Chances is album with good promotion for me, in conclusion...

[GoldenLeaf]

''Live Nation'' would be the best label for Celine's career.

[disadiva]

Well i am happy as long Celine is and we will see what happens after her new greatest hits album.

[Nando Férri]

Anywhere far from Sony.

 

Universal or Live Nation.

[troystar]

i'd say PWL (Pete Waterman Limited) as this label could give her so much success in the uk a whole dancy pop album recorded by the PWL team, plus the we'd see a completely new celine and especially in the uk

 

too funny. I hope you are joking. It would never happen. I think she would start her own label before that.

I don't think Rene will leave Sony. I realy hate the way record label ignore/don't promote their older artist. If Nelly Furtado can have 6 singles so can Celine. What was up with Eyes On Me in the UK? I heard it was released then pulled so it didn't chart very high.

Anywhere just leave that stup!d SONY!

[SuperLove4Celine]

Anywhere just leave that stup!d SONY!

 

At this point I think it's more Sony AND Rene. He is, after all, Celine's manager.

I agree. But I also like the idea of her own label as someone here suggested.

[whineupemily]

I second that

[Xpresso]

I agree that Sony did well at the beginning of Céline's career and promoted her very well, and so did René. But don't forget that there were smart executives at Sony at the time. As René already mentioned, he doesn't even have a contact at Sony USA anymore... because all the good execs were let go.

 

So I think it's also time for Céline to let Sony go!!! They are letting her rot on the back burner!!!

CHANGES are needed... I say LIVE NATION!!!

[firebird]

Universal / Live Nation or whatever company else: That's not solving the problem, only moving it from one company, that wants maximum output (= money) for minimum input, to another. All the big record labels are way behind the times, the best would be they stick to selling ring-tones and let their artists go. The best way to do things for any artist/musician is do it yourself. Declare independance !

[PrincesseJen]

Josh Groban is on WB. They seem to let him do his own thing.

[peo]

Sony BMG Music Entertainment

hi, more sony bmg, columbia is the best label
