[Rumor] Celine might have recorded a duet demo with Whitney Houston in 2008

[celinesounds]

if the song is done we will get the song someday, maybe is not the right song

[Lou555]

I'm so with you on this. Whitney is not exactly one of my favourite people right now...

 

I doubt that it is true. But can it maybe, just maybe, be true and Celine doesn't want to release it because she knows people will compare her and Whitney and she's scared of what people might say?

Celine would have known that before she went into the studio, she could have just said no if that was her worry. To waste all that time and money is not like her at all, I think we all saw Celine's reaction at the WMA's in 2004. She loves Whitney and has a lot of respect for her even though she doesn't have the voice she used to have. It would be like them shelving the "Tell Him" duet with Barbra, it just wouldn't have happened. If Celine didn't like her performance on that song she would have re-done it a million times to get it right - she's just that hard working.

 

Plus, in the past few years she has recorded duets with some really "interesting" singers so I don't think she is picky who she sings with.

 

I agree completely with you Thomas except for the part about Céline not being picky regarding duets considering the ones she has recorded in the past few years. I think she wouldn't do a duet with anyone who asked her. I have heard of a great singer wanting very much to do a duet with her that didn't.(one of country's great). I think that criterion for her to agree on a duet have not much to do with the voice(or its quality) of the other singer though. I really think it has to do with feelings..admiration, respect and/or friendships she has for another artist. Of course I would think she considers also if she feels she can share a nice moment and if she feels she can bring something she would feel good about in a style that she can and wants to do or try.

 

For example she has done duets with René Simard, Garou or Jean Lapointe out of friendship, with Barbra, Pavarotti, Aznavour out of admiration, Bocelli and Groban out of respect, Zachary Richard and Eric Lapointe, out of respect too and to share and mix her passion with artists that bring something different, that she likes, that are as passionnate about songs as she is. Feelings is a prerequisite I think. For what I know Whitney would surely fit one of those categories for sure.

 

I'm sure some artists asked her often because that would be great for their career or sales, especially in French. I think they never accept those kind of offers except if there is some kind of friendship. I know there are many of those...

I agree She would have worked very hard on it to make it sound perfect

[idroveallnight]

I might be wrong, but I don't think Whitney likes Celine too much. I remember Billy Bush telling Whitney in an Access Hollywood interview after the WMAs about how Celine stopped her press conference to watch her performance and in the most fake way she was like, "I love her, bless her heart." It just felt so forced.

 

This duet seems just as unlikely as the other rumored duet with MJ.

 

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to real studio duet with Josh Groban, Elton John, and whatever other good prevelant singers there are out there.

[Tyler1991]

I disagree. If Celine didn't like it, it wasn't because she didn't like the way her voice sounded. Celine has never been about out-doing other people and has always been humble. IF she didn't like the way her voice sounded, it's probably because she was miles better then Whitney and didn't feel comfortable releasing a duet when her voice outshined Whitney.

[celinecolombian]

Uhmm don't know...

First, if it's a true story

And if it's true, well I think is good for Whitney to be helped by such a complete artist like Celine is. But We'll see...

[Taking Chances]

Listen to this. It's a song from Whitney's new album. I know this sounds awful, but Celine would crush her if they sang together. Celine must have meant Whitney sounded bad, Whitney truly has lost her voice.

[Terre]

I highly doubt it's true. But if they really recorded a duet I hope we'll get to hear it some day.

[SensationalCeline]

I don't think that Whitney can make a true comeback. She already ruined her rep with the cocaine and her voice. She's just not the same.

[J-Man]

I was glad to see in the original interview that "I didn't know my own strength" was the weakest on the album, because it is a poor performance. I do hope Whitney can make a successful comeback. She was an amazing singer in her day. I am looking forward to hearing this album, but it does need to improve on what is a strange choice for first single.

 

Even if Whitney doesn't like Celine (I never understand when people don't feel that Celine is really as genuinely nice as she appears) it doesn't mean she wouldn't sing with her, I mean she would hardly be Mariah Scarey's best friend and they duetted.

 

It would be great to hear them sing together though, but yes, judging by this effort, Celine would not be the one sounding below parr. Neither would she be the kind of artist who would willingly release a track if she thought the other singer was not performing at their best, especially someone that she admires.

[blowingbubbles@celine]

Even how much i want this to be true,but i don't believe "but Celine didn't like how she sounded and Arista shelved it."

such result can't happen to celine,she's always sounded super great

Maybe Celine didn't like how she sounded so much better than Whitney and out sing Whitney completely in the song. Whitney is one of her idol anyway.

Yeah, if they really recorded a song together last year, Celine would have definitely sounded a million times better than Whitney and that must be the real reason why Arista shelved it.

 

Let's just remember how bad Whitney's voice sounds now :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KaClIF1ehQ

I don't understand why some people still call her ''The Voice''. I guess their ears are blocked with too much wax lol.

 

now i was gonna say, lets not get bitchy now......i dont like it when others fans of other singers diss celine etc so lets not do it to them!!!!!

THEN i watched that video and oh my gowd did she sound terrible.....but the fact of the crack she took ruined the control of her voice....but i still think she is one half of our generations voice...the other half being celines!

but i do remember celines voice being not so great when she first returned!!!!!! thank god its brilliant again now tho woopie

 

but i do agree with john totally

i didnt know my own strength i actually like but to be fair i seriously can not wait for the new album and the title track of the album i look to you.......i think we will see old whitney there and i believe her voice will be great on that song as its an amzing lyric...i could be worng but i do hope im not......celine n whitney have been the top of the top for so long its a shame that mariah has surpassed them by a long shot with music success in the last few years!

You are probably right. I just don't know what to make of this whole story...

[JP]

but the fact of the crack she took ruined the control of her voice....but i still think she is one half of our generations voice...the other half being celines!

At least, she's still alive And she looks happier than ever!

For sure, she don't have the same clear voice, but i still love her music and i can't wait to hear the rest!

[LVCeline]

Maybe Celine meant she didn't like the way Whitney sounded so she scrapped it Besides, I don't believe this. There's no way 2 huge stars like this could record a secret duet without anyone knowing about it, I don't believe it at all.

[Kyle_Jared]

I guarantee you Celine sounded better than whitney and theres no way in hell Clive would have that on the duet. Whitney has really struggled making this comeback album because of her destroying her voice hith drugs. I do wish her the best and hope she has success with this new project.

I was talking about the interview that opens this topic.

 

Whitney's performance on that huge stage in Khazakhstan is one of the saddest, loneliest things I ever saw. I know she did it to herself, but you can't help feeling so terribly sorry for her. Thank God Celine will never go down that road.

Re: Whitney's Kazakhstan Performance. Yes, it was indeed horrible, but I do hope everyone has seen her recent performance at Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Party. It's not amazing, or up to her old standards, but it is a major improvement from her July '08 performance in Kazakhstan. If she can improve that much in 7 months, who knows what the future holds.

Also, I don't really believe this story, but I would definitely never be against a duet between the two. They are two of the most talented singers of my generation.

I think you nailed it!!! Exactly what I think!!

[bertrand]

A friend of mine works at Arista, the article on the first page is TOTALLY FAKE...it was made be someone to help Shitney to sell herself and the album.

Sad...what a pity

OMG!!! Thanks for clearing up this rumor. Shame on that person who wanted to use Celine's name to help Crackney. That person really needs to get a life.

Dam! oh well..... lol

I got my hopes up! hehe

 

Too good to be true...

[celine_rox]

AW HELL NO

use celine to sell whitneys album

I THINK NOT

[SensationalCeline]

Now that makes me pissed that they are going to try to bring in fans of Celine's to buy the album just to boost another artist's comeback. Especially when she messed up her career in the first place.

[RLAAMJR.]

Maybe Celine felt a little insecure of the result cos Whitney could have sounded better than her. hehehe. Joke! But still i want to hear it.

[bruno_oliveira]

AW HELL NO

yes that was terrible from her company's side! It was also the dumbest thing to do to release the album the same day alicia's was being released in the US, leona's in the UK, and Johnny Hallyday in France! It was like they wanted it to not get to number 1...

[sazzlepop123]

Well I think they should do a one off duet. Edited July 30, 2009 at 08:19 AM by sazzlepop123

[CelineStorm]

I've been searching about this rumor, and i found other. It's about a rumor of a new duet on the new Whitney's album "I LOOK TO YOU" ...i don't know..what do you think?
