Timster Posted February 8, 2011 at 10:25 PM Posted February 8, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^^^ Those three songs are the exact three I am praying we do not get. I'm Alive and I Drove All Night were flops. Nobody cares about them. Let them die. TLYM was successful in one place....if they're going to have her sing it 3408 times because it was successful in Japan, then why the hell isn't Think Twice performed the same amount as well?? And I'd even put LCMM into that category. I don't understand the thought process of keeping the song just because it has been in all but one of her tours. It had it's day. It's done with. Nothing to look forward to in that song. It gets worse and worse. All it is is the band playing the song while she talks through it and makes up her own lyrics. The only songs that NEED to be in there are: TPOL, IACBTMN, BYLM, and MHWGO. I would hope they would perform these in full as well. The rest of the songs are a matter of opinion, and I can see including these flops once or twice, but acting like they are necessities is just wrong! Tyler, IA & IDAN were not flops: -I'm Alive:#1 in Canada#2 in Belgium & European singles chart#4 in Germany#5 in Sweden and Austria#6 in US Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary#7 in Holland, France, Greece, Switzerland -I Drove All Night:#1 in Canada, Sweden & Belgium#2 in Holland & US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play#7 in Greece, Hungary & US Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary#8 in European singles shart#9 in Portugal And TYLM wasn't just a hit in one place, it was #1 in the US as well as Japan. The trouble with Vegas is that Celine's team may be focusing more on US hits, so there's still a chance we will see TLYM again... As for LCMM, I'd be very surprised if this goes. It doesn't need to be a hit to be performed all these years. It's become a concert tradition, and Celine obviously loves the song (even if she doesn't sing half of it) Quote
Kyle_Jared Posted February 8, 2011 at 10:57 PM Posted February 8, 2011 at 10:57 PM It's true! "I'm alive" Was HUGE in Europe and "I drove all night" was a big hit too! It peaked at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100 but that was only on airplay--no single released! And "To Love you More" was million-seller in Japan and a MASSIVE single in Canada...and as well a very huge hit on Adult Contemporary radio in the states....it was #1 for ages. Not only on adult contemporary but top 40 too. As a matter of fact, "To Love You More" had no single release in America, but reached #11 on the Hot 100 Airplay! Had Celine released "To Love You More" as a physical single it would of been a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Quote
SuperLove4Celine Posted February 8, 2011 at 11:54 PM Posted February 8, 2011 at 11:54 PM Wow! I had no idea that "To Love You More" reach #1 status in the U.S. That's pretty cool! I guess I'll have to "eat crow" on that one. Thanks for the information! Quote
Tyler1991 Posted February 9, 2011 at 03:19 AM Author Posted February 9, 2011 at 03:19 AM While it may not have been a flop it was for form being a smashing success that it has been made out to be. There are about 10 songs that are repeatedly used over and over again when fact is that there are only four that are absolutely essential. Give the other six a break. Quote

In some countries, that may be the case, but here, where she is actually performing them, they are flops. Nobody here cares about if it was a #1 in some third world country. It couldn't matter anymore... Europe doesn't care that I'm Your Angel was a #1, anymore than we do that Think Twice was in Europe (well this is in her teams opinion - the big fans definitely care!).

Nmj Posted February 9, 2011 at 02:10 PM Posted February 9, 2011 at 02:10 PM I think that "Thats The Way it Is", and "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", and possibly "A New Day Has Come (Radio Remix)" are more important then "IDAN", "TLYM" and "IA" Quote

JCeline85 Posted February 9, 2011 at 05:21 PM Posted February 9, 2011 at 05:21 PM so i was listening to A New Day Live In Las Vegas yesterday and totally forgot about "At Last" and "Fever" and "Nature Boy" and "Wonderful World". I wonder if she will attempt to do other cover songs similar to what they tried doing with the start of a new day? Quote The Wait Is Over?

People travel from all over the world to see Celine in Vegas, I wish it wasn't just US hits in the setlist. TLYM may have hit #1 on one chart for one week, but to me, that doesn't automatically make it a US hit. It failed to chart successfully in other charts for the US. And once it did chart, it basically fell off the map. It's one of those songs that three weeks later, nobody remembers it, nobody cares, etc. The longevity of the song is weak. They've really beat the horse dead with this. WDMHBN, BATB, TTWII, and ABM are MUCH more successful and well remembered than TLYM. A "hit" to me, is not a song that went #1 when it came out, but rather a song that is STILL successful 10 years after the fact. TLYM does not fit this. Maybe in Japan, that's it. The example is easier to see with Mariah. She has 18 #1's. However, most are only as well remembered as I'm Your Angel Is. She has about 3-4 that are really still played on the radio, the rest are "semi-hits" at best. And the rest, are all but forgotten. But why should we be subject to the same mediocre-success that we have been for 140 shows in FIY, 100 in LTAL, 723 in Vegas, 100ish in TC.....etc. It does not make sense. I realize that whether it was a "hit" in 1997 or 2010, it does not matter. A hit it still a hit, even if nobody does care today. For that reason, it shouldn't be completely abandoned. Perform it once every 3-4 tours, rather than EVERY tour. She has 10 other songs on this level to, rotate 3-4 of these each tour. But to put this on the same level as TPOL, IACBTMN, MHWGO, and BYLM is just hysterical because these are the only songs still heard on the radio (along with WDMHBN, TTWII, and maybe another). Quote

Tyler, there's a very good reason why TLYM never charted outside the US or Japan - it was only ever released as a single in those 2 countries. It was never a single in Europe or anywhere else in the world!! But it certainly wasn't on the US charts for just one week:To Love You More was also very successful on the American radio. It spent 8 weeks at number 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay. Quote

Tyler1991 Posted February 9, 2011 at 09:41 PM Author Posted February 9, 2011 at 09:41 PM Well, even if TLYM did chart at #1 for 8 weeks on Adult Contemporary, it got the "One Sweet Day" Mariah effect where after its reign at number one, #no1curr anymore. When people think of Celine, TLYM is not one of the top songs. It's hardly remembered, and sure as hell remembered less than other songs that failed to reach #1. It faded into oblivion. It's done. And I never said anything about prioritizing setlists for Americans, but when that is where she performs almost all her shows, it makes no sense to give us a setlist that is relative to other countries.

Tyler1991 Posted February 10, 2011 at 02:44 AM Author Posted February 10, 2011 at 02:44 AM (edited) Who cares. It's had its day. All of this success is in the past and today its not remembered by the "moderate fans" or the general public who gathers there information from what they hear in the news or hear on the radio. I've had enough of this song being shoved down my throat. I actually love this song, I'm just tired of it being performed. It's merely a show filler at this point. I'm not going to lie, some of this negativity is due to the fact that it is lipped. But let's look at the songs she consistently performs in every area. I'll post years we have performances of rather than eras.River Deep, Mountain High - 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009L'amour Existe Encore - 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997(?), 1998, 1999, 2001, 2006, 2008, 2009Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore - 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2006, 2005(?), 2007, 2008, 2009The Power Of Love - 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009To Love You More - 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2008J'irai Ou Tu Iras - 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009Love Can Move Mountains - 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 So you may say that if I am tired of TLYM being over-performed, that I should feel the same for these as well. Not true. I'm not hating on TLYM because it's playback (well indirectly I am), but rather because there is no growth, no change, no difference, 15 years later we still hear the same young voice. This takes away the emotion, etc. That is what separates it from a song like River Deep, Mountain High. While RDMH is not a hit, it has had this change, growth, and difference that I enjoy seeing. See, this keeps the song fresh and exciting. Same can be said for LAEE and PQTME (though those are indeed hits)! TPOL will be excused from this because it is without a doubt a huge hit. So, where does LCMM fit into this? Some may put it with RDMH, but I will not. The change and growth seen in this song is not growth, but damaging, or whatever the opposite of growth is. It's great she has fun, but she can have that while still performing the song the way it is meant to be performed rather than skipping every other line and singing random notes. It's as bad as listening to Christina sing. J'irai Ou Tu Iras is nearing this as well. Edited February 10, 2011 at 02:57 AM by Tyler1991 Quote

See, this keeps the song fresh and exciting. Same can be said for LAEE and PQTME (though those are indeed hits)! TPOL will be excused from this because it is without a doubt a huge hit. So, where does LCMM fit into this? Some may put it with RDMH, but I will not. The change and growth seen in this song is not growth, but damaging, or whatever the opposite of growth is. It's great she has fun, but she can have that while still performing the song the way it is meant to be performed rather than skipping every other line and singing random notes. It's as bad as listening to Christina sing. J'irai Ou Tu Iras is nearing this as well. Well, as you may know, i LOVE LCMM!! But i do know what you mean. I don't mind the way Celine sings it. I,too, would love to hear it a bit closer to the original now for a while. Maybe along the lines of Colour tv special/Olympia. Reason why she's changed it? Fun, yes, but also probably cos she's sang it 100,000,000,000,000,000, times! Its just a pity she doesn't rework some of her other songs. She'd probably enjoy it more - and we wouldn't see the "robot" as much. Quote
Tyler1991 Posted February 11, 2011 at 06:33 AM Author Posted February 11, 2011 at 06:33 AM I don't care for Olympia performance of LCMM. The LCMM performances in Olympia and Paris 1995 are what kill both concerts. The last good performance was TCOML concert. She has performed other songs that many times as well and they're still performed close to the album version. I am not a fan of remixing songs at all unless it means a live performance instead of playback. Quote

This song failed to enter the Top30 in both Canada and France and it didn't even make the Top15 in Quebec. I agree however that this song is a pure masterpiece but it wasn't a hit. Canadian Adult Contemporary Chart #34Quebec Airplay Chart #16French Singles Chart #31 I agree, the perfect setlist would contain the 4 basic worldwide hits (TPOL, IACBTMN, BYLM, MHWGO) + different hits from all over the world (Europe, Japan, Australia, etc.)] I really hope she'd perform TTWII and IYAMT since these songs weren't performed in an actual concert for ages.

Tyler1991 Posted February 11, 2011 at 08:41 PM Author Posted February 11, 2011 at 08:41 PM (edited) I guess the overperforming of LAEE made me think it was a much bigger hit than it was because I'm not really familiar with charts and stuff minus the basics. I think with her English songs we have a few different "tiers"... Tier 1 - TPOL, IACBTMN, MHGO, BYLMTier 2 - BATB, ABM, TTWII, WDMHBNTier 3 - other "hits" that nobody really cares about...hits that have since fallen off the map. The main difference between tier 2 and tier 3 is that while both were equally successful in their release, tier 2 is still a success while tier 3 is over and forgotten about. Tier 4 - random songs that aren't singles that get performed - RDMH, Seduces Me.. Tier 1 and 2 are the most important and sholud always be performed, or at the very least "Frequently" because these are what the general public KNOWS as her songs and recognize as her voice when they hear on the radio. Tier 3 and 4 can be replaced with other songs of their similarity. Edited February 11, 2011 at 08:42 PM by Tyler1991 Quote
