Bring back Diane Warren/David Foster for 2010

[Kyle_Jared]

Anybody else agree we are long overdue to the magical combination of Diane Warrens songs and David Foster production. I'd love to see 1-2 songs from these guys in 2010/2011 when her next English album comes out.

 

Whitney Houston apparantly just recorded a new song for her upcoming project written specifically for her by Diane and David produced it. Insiders says its DYNAMITE!

I agree.

[Tyler1991]

Me to! Wasn't her last Diane song I Want You To Need Me? Gosh, that's been 9 years!

 

The edgier stuff is great too, but I really love her vocally powerful songs most!

[Claudette]

That would be great!

[celine4evauk]

And Jim Steinman - is he still around/writing?? IACBTMN was one of her biggest hits. I'd love to hear new stuff from him.

[krazy_kool_dude]

To be honest i don't care really who she works with as long as the songs are good BUT i don't think Celine should go back to these two. She should move on with her career, find new songwriters.

[Nando Férri]

No thanx... She needs NEW sounds. But this time, really goes for that. The problem is that she's always doing things to half. "Almost rock", "Almost pop", etc...

[Celine-Express]

For 1-2 songs ok, but i think Celine should find new writers / producers for more rock song !

[ce-line]

Oh, I would love to!

[Javito]

NO thank you!! No more backs to the past

 

Unless they are willing to give her a new and fresh sound, like the production that Foster gave to Unison

[CelineFanInSoCal]

We all know they're capable of some dynamite work, but their work also has it's limitations. Taking Chances wouldn't have had all those different sounds and refreshing sounds.

 

David did an interview in Canada, which is on youtube to watch, saying he knows his niche and wouldn't dare overstep into something that's not his style, and he mentioned some R&B type or something.

 

If he had a whole album done by David, we'd have a whole album full of power ballads and the like.

 

I'd need to hear something written by Diane recently to know how he new stuff sounds.

 

I wonder what Whitney's new stuff will be like.

[Lymon]

God no! I never liked Diane Warren as a songwriter(especially Because You Loved Me) and David Foster's sound is so 90's. Celine needs to move on with her career and Taking Chances showed that she's ready to move on. Let's hope the next album is an even edgier version of TC.

[Kyle_Jared]

Y'all need to remember David Foster and Diane Warren were two very prominent figures in bringing Celine to the masses.

 

"Because you loved me" "If you asked me to" "The Power of Love" "Love Can Move Mountains" "All By Myself" "Nothing Broken But My Heart"

 

and the list goes on that either Diane Warren wrote or David Foster produced.

 

As much as we , the die-hards, are wanting to hear ''new sounds'' from Celine, "Taking Chances" didn't fly out the shelves nearly as well as her previous releases.

 

Shes NEEDS at least 1-2 Songs from this team again.

 

It ain't even a question.

It's not about the "new sound that isn't selling", it's about Sony not doing their job promoting her. Taking Chances could've been the hottest CD of late 2007/early 2008 if it was promoted right with good singles and decent music videos. If she goes back to ballads and they're released as singles it won't fare any better for her.

[bgcalde]

I'd love that too, but didn't celine and diane warren had some kind of problems which ended their relation?

Bad music videos don't really have much to do with sales. And while Sony may have done a bad job of promoting her, I don't think it is all about Sony's promotion of her. For TC, she went on sooooo many shows to promote it (The View, Early Show, Today Show, Ellen, Dancing With The Stars, Oprah, All My Children, American Music Awards, World Music Awards, two specials, and many more that I'm forgetting). That was enough for just about everyone to see her, and if they wanted to buy the album, they would have.

 

Of course album sales aren't going to be as high as they were in the LTAL/FIY era, but you also have to look at it in the sense that all album sales are down due to MP3's and such.

 

Taking Chances: 3,595,500 plus many more unaccounted for numbers

Hard Candy: 3,500,000 worldwide.

 

So compared to the #2 best selling female artist of all time (or is it Mariah??), she isn't doing to bad.

[celinefanonline]

i would say yes few songs would be good

[CelineDionFan710]

a few songs would be good

[Bellamy]

They can just keep working on Whitney's "upcoming" comeback. Celine doesn't need them.

[luciusbright]

1 or 2 songs are ok, but no more

Celine needs to move on, taking more chances and more ..................

[CellyDee87]

No way, she's in a different direction now, that would be taking a step back, unless they wrote something rockier...

Exactly. To me, TCH is her best album since her comeback in 2002. I really hope it's a bridge to something more.

[Black Kitten]

honestly, i don't mind seeing these 2 people reuniting with Celine again. i'll be fine with 2 to 3 songs with them, but definitely not a whole album under their supervision. they're so irrelevant in today's music. Celine is an artist, and i believe an artist should grow and experiment to stretch their artistry to stay relevant.

 

that is why i salute Celine for giving us such creative albums, D'elles and Taking Chances. she broke barriers with these 2 albums. she's proven the world that she's just not a ballad queen, and that she can be a rock chick too! i have no problems with either Diane and David, but their style is just too dated.

[StephenDIVA(UK)]

I agree that maybe a couple of Dainne / David compositions would be nice...but I am loving Celine's continued development and thought "Taking Chances" and the risks she took on that album were fantastic and would not like to see that progession lost. I think in today's falling album sales decline for all artist that "Taking Chances" did extremely well, I have a few concerns about the choice of lead single, despite it being the title track, I don't think it was the strongest song to promote the album on ...BUT hey it must be a very difficult choice to make and hindsight is a wonderful thing.

 

I am very excited for the future of Celine's career and even at this early stage await in anticipation await announcements of future projects.

 

[celinecolombian]

Uhm, I have to give credit to Warren & Foster, because of them Celine was on the spotlight with such a great songs, don't forget about FIY & LTAL.

It would be nice to have 2 o 3 songs from that team in the future, that kind of songs and sound made me fall in love with Celine.

But I'm also agree with her new direction

[Shamrock_1982]

They worked well in the past, but I to think she should look forward, and try new things, the ''TC'' album wasn't really Celine taking chances, but it was a step in the right direction to tred the water...

 

I wouldnt mind a new song with either of these guys, but not a whole album/project!

I still would like to see her do something with Timbaland or even Missy, now that would be taking chances, and would be a surprise, but would also be exciting and add a twist and something new to what shes capabale of....

 

I'm not saying forget ballads or for her to change, but just try new things, her voice/talent as far as I can see is capable of anything, and she gives 110%, so maybe try a jazz song, a proper r n' b song/duet would be cool, and still have uptempos and ballads in there also, but up to date sounds if that makes sense...

 

I would like to see her work with Linda Perry and Kristin Lundin on a new track, but yeah new writers and producers/artists would be cool.

I think it would be great to have this team together again. Just to see what they can come up for her these days.

 

But I think it's important to remember that this isn't the 90s anymore. The world of music has changed - and Celine's music just isn't going to be as popluar.....because it's Celine. But it doesn't mean that they can't create just as amazing songs!

[pat200]

A couple of songs from those two industry giants who have defined Celine's english career are always welcomed. Remember the casual fan likes Celine for the power ballads, after all she is the queen of the power ballad!

 

I would also love for her to duet with the current and hip artists who showed a desire to duet with her like JT, Santana, Coldplay...

[Shamrock_1982]

Yeah I can see Celine dueting with JT, big crazy hair, bling, and in a dress like the ''rdmh'' dress at A new day... dueting to a great uptempo/r n'b tune

So compared to the #2 best selling female artist of all time (or is it Mariah??), she isn't doing to bad.

 

Celine did a 1-2 week promotional stint where she went on many talk shows, talked about Rene-Charles and the end of Vegas, and sang either MHWGO/BYLM, Taking Chances and/or Alone. Then after that the album was totally forgotten about and she went on a greatest hits tour(I refuse to say that the tour was promoting TC, it wasn't in the slightest bit). The first special was an all-playback UK special where she "sang" 3 Taking Chances songs, and the second one was an 8 song show where she "sang" 4 Taking Chances songs. I'm sorry, but I don't call that promotion. I call that promotion All the Way.

 

MP3 doesn't have as much to do with it. Look at hot US sellers like The Emancipation of Mimi(not comparing the quality of any of these albums, just sales numbers), Back to Black by Amy Winehouse, with the right singles/promotion it can be done. And bad videos do have a lot to do with it. A good music video will be on heavy rotation on MTV/VH1/Whatever other music channel and get the single out, bad music videos end up nowhere.

 

I'm not saying she has to be superwoman or anything, but going on a ton of shows for one week then forgetting about it isn't promotion. Spreading out the promotion is better. It's just kind of sad to see the album not reach it's true potential. After a year I can still play this album and it still sounds as fresh and new as the day I bought it. Hot vocals, hot songs, amazing album.
