ALONE in a completely different version

February 27, 2009 at 01:39 AM

Wow, the improvisations are great.

It would be nice to hear a bit more of that freedom in the on-stage performances.

February 27, 2009 at 03:53 AM

MMMMM I like that :wub:

Wish she's really let go like that in concert although the live version she does during the show is much better than the cd version. I can't wait for the tour DVD.

Thanks for posting! Sounds very hot!

February 27, 2009 at 06:54 AM

I totally love this! I soooo wish I could have seen a soundcheck, that would be so much fun. maybe next time, after her break....omygosh, i'm gonna start crying again! :cry:

thanks for posting this!

February 27, 2009 at 08:20 AM

I really love this version... :wub:

I hope she make a record... Celine sometimes record a different version for one song, i.e my love, be the man, a new day has come etc... I hope she'll make it for "Alone" :giggle:

February 27, 2009 at 08:52 AM

That was awesome! Loved the improve :wub:

February 27, 2009 at 09:26 AM

Wow! This is magnificent! I wish she sings it live like this one day....

February 27, 2009 at 10:11 AM

I really don't get it! She can do thingd differently (as we heard here with great results) but she does this for soundcheck ONLY!!

The world wants to hear the free Celine. Not the robot Celine...

Hope she comes back with a freestyle in 18 months! :giggle:

February 27, 2009 at 06:12 PM

I LOVED IT!!! At my concert, they didn't even let anyone in the arena till her soundcheck was done. There wasn't even an option to buy the "Hot Sound Package"

:confused: I'm sorry to sound negative, but I really do hate when people call Celine a "Robot". :nono: Yes, I understand it is because of her time in Vegas, but with the tour it's different. ALL of her speeches aren't the same and she interacts with her fans more during the show. Also, a lot of people who go to see Celine aren't "Fanatics" like we are. They want to hear her sing their favorite Celine Dion song the way they know it, not the improv versions like we would like it. I feel really bad for Celine sometimes :down: , because it's very difficult to make everyone happy all of the time. It reminds me of watching her during the recording of "My Love" with Linda Perry. She actually had to leave the room because she was crying so hard :cry: I had tears streaming down my face with compassion for her. This is how she has spent her whole life!

Anyway...sorry :blushing1: I just love everything about Celine and sometimes get very defensive for her :whistling:

February 28, 2009 at 06:48 PM

i hope someday Celine would perform some concert with lots of improvisations:)

February 28, 2009 at 06:54 PM

I think its brilliant. And I have noticed in a lot more of her recent concerts she did improvise a lot in "Alone" and it was fantastic :clap:

February 28, 2009 at 07:07 PM

some should post an mp3

February 28, 2009 at 08:20 PM

That's cool! I wouldn't mind hearing a version like that live.

Thank you for the video!

the Celine Robot is a termed used by Celine herself in My Story My Dream

Occasionally, I nearly gave way to my worst enemy, to what I call "my singing robot." She does everything mechanically. She has my body and voice but not my soul.

Yes, but she hasn't been like this while touring. You could see the change in her and see that the passion had come back. :yes:

Has you he possibility there of having it in audio?

Sure she has. She gave in to the Celine Robot more times than most of us would care to admit or even be able to count. Once she gets on stage and starts pluggin away with "the hits medley", and the like, she goes on auto pilot.

A sound check is a way artists use to, well, erm... check their sound...choosing a couple songs to maybe "practice" with, then running up and down the scales with each word to get a true feel for their sound in a new arena. She's not really "improvising", so much as just going through her range to warm up and check the sound. Sure, it's really cool to hear, and many times, gives us some awesome sound bites, just like with:

These "vocal freedoms" that she's taking during the soundcheck, sadly, will probably never see the showtime stage for reasons that have already been mentioned and explored. Let's consider ourselves lucky to know someone who recorded these moments and can share them with the world.

:blink: She has been acting like the "singin robot" cents and cents of times since she began Las Vegas shows!!. We've seen it with Love Can Move Mountains, I'm Alive, the medley of hits, and many more songs... we've seen her screaming and yelling instead of singing many times during her world tour, though this is something that only is noticed by the fans, not the general audience which still enjoys her voice that way (they don't know how she sang in the Olympia or Paris concerts i.e.).

Anyway, she can't sing with the same passion a song that she has been singing each day during the last 6 years :ermm: But its been the normal consequence after exploiting some songs to death during all these years. It had to happen. But I hope she returns with a completely new setlist for the future with songs that she has NEVER sung live. I cross my fingers! :whistling:

WOW!! I loved it

March 1, 2009 at 06:40 PM

WOW!!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for this!!!!!!!!!!

i think they dont know we want to hear it like that...

they think the audience want to hear the songs just like on the album, thats why most of her tv specials are playback. rene told this himself.

but we the fans who hear her songs day after day and watch and hear everything she does, we get 'bored' with the same old versions. General audience doesnt.

but who knows maybe someday she will do something acoustic where she will 'play' with the songs

March 6, 2009 at 04:13 AM

This sounds fantastic. This is how she must sound when she sings in the shower.

Can you imagine all the wonderful notes she sang in her lifetime that we have yet to hear? Thanks for capturing this, Jimena. :flowers:

WOw i love it thanks

From Sarah Rodman’s review of Taking Chances (Boston Globe, November 13, 2007):

Take, for example, Dion's cover of Heart's pop-rock anthem "Alone." Enlisting former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody adds little; in fact, the carbon-copy arrangement doesn't pack as much windswept melodramatic punch as Dion's own "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." Great vocal, terrific melody, a fine rendition, but "Alone" is already indelibly stamped by Heart's Ann Wilson.

I remember thinking at the time that this criticism of “Alone” was on target. In my opinion, “Alone” was never a great song to begin with- it’s basically a hook and a scream, very two-dimensional. As written, it’s perfect for a rock star with that frayed-vocal-cord sound or maybe for a contestant in a singing competition like Idol or Star Académie, but not for a phenomenal singer like Céline. One might even say that this is the kind of song that penalizes a good singer because that huge screech in the middle, as thrilling as it may be, is really not about good singing; rather, it’s about a money shot.

So, it comes as a surprise to hear that “Alone” does have potential after all. Hearing Céline venture into some of the song’s unexplored territory is fascinating, and I would love to hear what she and a clever producer might make of it. I also think the clip illustrates Céline’s wonderful musical intelligence, something for which she rarely gets credit.

Thanks to ryba for sharing this illuminating sound clip.

oh wow. I LOVE the way she did the riffs! She sang it a bit differently in the shows than on the CD but THIS would have literally, chilled me to the bones. I got goosebumps listening to that. ^_^

it is great to get to hear her sing this way...

I AM a fan and would definately have noticed. I guess I was just lucky then. She was amazing at both shows I saw her at. I saw her in Boston, which was the first night of the North American leg of her tour. She had just come off of a month long vacation so she had great energy and was not robotic. The second time I saw her was 2 nights later in her 1st Montreal show. It was the first time she had been back in 10 years. It was very emotionally charged and once again she was full of energy and far from robotic. It was actually my favorite Celine performance I had ever been to.

beautiful.

is there anyway to remove the bakcground noise of the people talking? I love her singing but I would rather not have thebackground noise, its distracting.
