Whitney Houston Record Inspires Celine Dion


Recommended Posts

I personally think that Will.i.am has a great gift, and can move seemlessly ''with the times'', and still knocks out amazing hits with TBEP and with various other artists who hes worked with...

I think Celine and Rene would be crazy not to work with him on ''one'' song for a new album whenever that will be ( late 2010/ early 2011 ) :P !!

 

Darren.

This.

 

BEP did some hardcore hip-hop before adding Fergie and going Where Is The Love on us. Their latest song I Got A Feeling is less RNB and more rhythmic pop w/c is the hot thing in music nowadays.

Yes, let her repeat the same mistake that she has been making for like 11 years now: Working with 50 producers and songwriters for her English album.

 

Compare the credits of Falling into You to those on ANDHC or Taking Chances and you'll know what I mean.

 

Time for some quality. Be it with Tricky or whomever, but only 1 maximum 2 producers. And then the chances for a good English album rises by astonishing 23.43%.

Or, Celine could just take more of an interest instead of turning up, laying down her vocals and then leaving the work to, like you say Seb, 50 random producers. It's a shame that Celine's entire contribution to an album recording these days is about 4 days in a studio.

 

She needs to decide what direction she wants to take and then really commit to it. Get involved in song selection, perhaps even writing and then really get involved in the creative process.

 

Looking back at "Taking Chances" the whole thing really was a mess. The message Sony were sending out about Celine was all wrong and it was clear the public didn't get it. Yes, Celine was back with a new album and apparently a new sound but the general public never heard it as they lost interest after the first 90 seconds of "Taking Chances" and then totally jumped ship when "Alone" was promoted at all opportunites.

 

You get the feeling that the big comeback after baby number 2 may be her last big chances for mainstream chart success.

Good point Shaun. I totally agree that the message Sony was sending for TC was all over the place. A new Celine, a new Celine... yeah, sure... Taking Chances single wasn't a big hit so Sony directly goes into "safe" mode with "Alone" and we know what happened. Sony was too stupid in their single choices yet again...I think not releasing Fade Away was the biggest mistake.

 

Celine needs something fresh and with rhythm. Some electronic beats would be great even if she sings some "lounge" style music. Celine is afraid to experiment it seems. But again, she knows Sony would never release anything that's out-of-the-box. Shame...

Great that there will be new albums :rolleyes: :wub:

 

OMG!!!!! Waiting for it!

No Music, No Life, No me!

What gets me is that Sony/Rene/Celine could have easily released multiple singles at the same time in various regions and on various radio formats. "New Dawn" could have been sent to Gospel stations, "Fade Away" sent to Hot AC stations, "Can't Fight The Feelin'" to rock stations (not that they'd play it though...LOL), "Surprise Surprise" or "Shadow Of Love" to regular AC stations, and "A World To Believe In" as a Japanese only single as was released or remixed to be more of a country-sounding hit. Rounding everything out would have been "My Love" as it would have been the perfect fade into the recently released greatest hits-type album.

But if she were to have another hit, they'd have to think outside the box, no?

 

MOR AC certainly won't put her back in the mainstream.

Well, I would be a lot more excited if they'd chosen J-J Goldman to write the music for the entire album and then pick the lyrics in english. Why try climbing the ladder again? Barbra hasn't gotten another "People" or "Evergreen", the same goes for Whitney's IWALY. Please, don't get down to Mariah's level trying to do what supposedly sells. Just quality music, please!

 

If she wants to experiment let her sing jazz and do the Callas project.

The point is that whatever gets released, even if it's the right song, unless it actually gets pushed, there's nothing gonna come of it by just quietly sending it to radio.

 

Risque, cool videos are needed for all songs these days- she always gets one video then nothing. PIsses me off

Exactly. Even the worst song can get lots of exposure or be a hit if it's really pushed..

not another crappy Skies of L.A. it is boring and sound just like Remember L.A from her 1993 Colour Of My Love album.

 

mm sorry..I Remember LA is a beautiful soft song in my opinion with a good story and I liked it very much.

Not comparable with Skies of La at all. That song is too dreamy..and sleepy haha

Exactly! The same old formula won't work if Sony wants a hit single with Celine these days...

Sometimes I think Sony doesn't want Celine to have a hit single. They know the album sells on its own and they don't want to invest a lot of money on videos and promo... What a shame! :whistling:

I agree... no more albums in a rush... Look at Mariah [for instance] , she's putting months into it...

I need someone to loves m like Celine loved René... And just like she sang in LTAL track # 16, I ask for that exact same thing

I think the same, and i believe, i know its true.

Celine is in that age when she must do that hard work about promo mostly herself, like madonna... But like we know, she dont care -_-

Beyonce's new album is filled with good commerical ballads such as halo, if i were a boy and broken hearted girl. Tricky Stewart and the dream produced two of the best songs on the album (single ladies, smash into you). I think Celine would be smart to go in that direction cause their really "in" right now and the ballads they produce suits her style.

 

Here's the song smash into you, one of the best work yet.

i think céline should return with the big ballads....people love her for this...and nobody can do that better than her....people have a certain image of our girl.....and that's so not modern.....and instead of trying to be hip for all costs she should benefit from this

Darf ich leben ohne Grenzen?

Lieben, trotz der Konsequenzen?

Darf ich meine Träume leben?

Meinem Feind die Hände geben?

Darf ich mein schwarzes Herz verschenken?

Darf ich für mich selber denken?
