"There Comes A Time" - Official Topic

[luciusbright]

maybe a little upset if is another ballad

but........

I love "The Greatest Reward"

one of my favs....

[smw]

If it's a new ballad - it better be up there in I Surrender territory. And not in the lowly land of Reason I Go On.

It's rather futile to believe this will be something a la "I Surrender"... especially considering the specific atmosphere all songs on TCH are having. The screamers have been ALL left out (i.e. Map To My Heart and The Reason I Go On - both MAGNIFICENT but still left out due to the concept surely). It may be however that There Will Come A Day is sung the way it didn't ineed fit on TCH and that's why they've left it out.

 

I still let the thought wager whether the song is actually another "All Becaouse Of You" or another "Map To My Heart" in terms of quality. Weirdly so, I know but I feel somehow it may be something actually quite good.

 

To me - there is a significant difference between POWER BALLADS and ballads.

 

Power Ballads:

It's All Coming Back To Me Now

Then You Look At Me

I Surrender

The Power Of Love

The Reason

etc.

 

 

And then there are the ballads - which are very nice, but not vocally amazing.

 

Either way - I'll be happy for new material. I just love fresh songs - and if it's a same old, regular formula ballad - it'll be a bit depressing.

This could go either way.

 

But don't expect I Surrender. His most famous songs are Sometimes by Britney Spears and Unbreakable by Westlife (actually a fine track for being westlife).

 

And even though it leans towards something a la TRIGO I hope it takes another turn and get really high quality like RNTTRO.

 

However his sound is quite electronic so we shall expect a very "well produced" track with loads of electronic insturments and catchy and cheesy refrain. But in an acceptable way. I am looking forward to hearing it.

 

This is one of his neatest songs:

This was the first single for the idol winner some years ago. Performed by the second place here:

Was a huge hit

 

This also was a hit and the winner song for Idol also some years ago:

What if this turns out to be another A Song For You?

[Macaronie]

BTW the guy wrote also "Homeless" for Leona Lewis

Uhm she covered it though from Darin.

[Lymon]

Then I will become a lamb until Celine changes record labels

[smw]

I am still a firm believer that the arrangement for A Song For You was beautiful - but Celine's vocals are horrific on that song. I understand the raw emotion - but she captures raw emotion much better when she sings intimate songs in a vocally-trained manner (Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered - Nature Boy - etc.)

[Esther]

The title of the new songs sounds beloving!

[Elaine]

I actually don't care if it's a ballad or an uptempo song, as long as it is good! I'll decide if I'll buy this CD or not after I listen to this song, so I hope it is really good!

[dj4celine]

What if this turns out to be another A Song For You?

 

Then it would be the perfect reason for me to tell myself not to buy this album

'Honey', 'we belong together' so let's be 'vanishing' cos I 'can't let go' of you, my love! (Now kill me Nick :mdr: )

i can't wait to hear the new song. will there be a video?

 

 

I hope so.

[Thecolourofmylove]

I hope so.

 

 

I SERIOUSLY doubt it!! They haven't released a music video since Taking Chances (I'm ignoring the sh!tty 'Alone' live video they miserably put together and the EOM video they released on Yahoo...)

 

When would she have time to record the video? Its terribly clear now that Sony isn't going to promote TC OR this new album at all.

[grobandion]

She needs a good ballad to bring back her core audience she may have scared away with TC...

 

I agree with you 100%.

And, also, with a heartstopping ballad she assures to get airplay in radios here in LatinAmerica.

With so much reggaeton going on in here, we're always hungry for an A-class ballad

I can't wait for "My love (2008)" and "There comes a time"

Taking Chances didn't scare away any core audience because the songs choosen to promote it was too daring - rather the opposite!

Well, I know people bought the album because of Celine Dion name, expecting ballads, and got something strange in return. I'm talking bout the ocasional listener, not die-hard fans, and my personal experience with people I know from here.

This is the chance to "bring them back" to Celine

Guide them to Miracle.

 

Why can't people stand by her changing (even though it's too little), her evolving is more than welcome. She's been singing the same songs now for 15 years. Let her move on evolve. If you wanna listen to 90ies Céline, listen to an album from her 90ies. Simple as that.

Not for some people....they like the Celine because of her ballads, they like the 90's Celine. Us fans want to see something different, but the 'general audience' probably like the ballad queen much more....

[changepas39]

I am hoping that the song will be good. It could really make the cd for me. But, sony releasing a video is slim to none. I don't have any expectations...

[celinesounds]

i bet the song will be in a jazz style

[smw]

That would be WONDERFUL!

I believe the contrary: the vast majority of the general public are sick and tired of her ballads. I've seen non-fans (who wouldn't touch a Céline album) actually digging Reveal and Ten Days (not your average Dion ballad). It's perhaps just a light minority demanding only ballads from her, and that fan base is undependible and trades Céline in for the nearest copy of Westlife's latest album.

/fred

Same here. I know a lot of people (non-fans) that loved "Eyes on Me", "I drove all night" for example, but they just CAN'T listen to her ballad songs anymore...

 

Well, to be true, I'm little tired of the ballads too.

[CSCfan]

I actually believe this is a minority....I've seen it too...but also heard a lot of people (especially older people and casual fans/listeners) they prefer the "old" Celine.

[unicorn]

I think that the song will be a rockier ballad(I hope so!) like Taking chances or Map to my heart. She can easely do song like Stop and stare, from One republic, or Rule the world from Take that, or I hope that the song will be like Surprize Surpruize, which is my favourite from TC.

I hope toooooooooo many things.

Well, what I've said is based in my reality. I live in Cordoba, Argentina, and here people (general audience) know Celine for the ballads, and love her for that.

This album would be a great chance to bring them back to her, no doubt about it

Well, I live in Brazil and what I can say is that people thinks she's so BORE. And because of her ballads, people still thinks she's 60 years old.

[grobandion]

Well...I guess different countries - different realities

Maybe in Brazil (or the part of Brazil where you live, since I doubt you made a survey through the whole country) prefer Samba or Lambada...who knows

Obrigado

Boa tarde

Yeah, may be... But just for you to know, here in Brazil LAMBADA doesn't exist since 80's.
