New Yahoo! interview

[Brody-Celine]

Im So Buzzed For The New Albums YEY , Cant Wait To hear it More Nice Calm Relaxing Ballads , WOOOOO!!!. And OMG Cant Believe Celine Went on the rock 'n' roller coaster ( well by the looks of it anyway ) That Ride is SO fun!

 

The interview Was great , nice to hear some new stuff, she has such a way with words

[joaofilho]

I think she is risking a lot in trying to re-record ballads, in the current market does not succeed as before, they are afraid to venture into other styles, Taking Chances masi despite the hit rock n 'roll and is also a ballad.

 

I do not agree with what they are taking the career of Celine did not, yes she is known for ballads, masi what they have done nothing to change that, she needs to reinvent itself more by what I read in the same interview she does not want. I'm worried about what will come.

I agree, I think that too

[Fran]

I can’t believe she actually spoke more about music than usual in this interview.

 

I think after not mentioning RC for 5 min straight she quickly had to take Miracle Babies Anne Geddes Cookbook out of her bag and stare at it luridly to calm herself down.

 

Oh and btw, Celione, your self titled album is your best and most exquisite English one. So yes, stick to what you can do the best, dear. And I’ll be more than happy.

 

The first true reply from you I read from years !!!

 

Get back that 3 year old photo there, Fran!

Your wish is my command!

Great interview with some new info.

 

I wasn't that impressed by this particular performance of ''IA'' though.... it aint bad, but I've seen much much better during the tour.

Same here. I don't think her vocals are as good here compared as other songs she sings. I wouldn't say it's any worse than the AND DVD though. I think we've just accepted that IA will always sound nasal.

 

This video was the same one that was in TTEOTW. It's a mix of Boston and Montreal, as Aaron (the bald dancer) was not in the Montreal shows, but the beginning definately was from Montreal as the audience could go right up to the platform. Usually Aaron gives Celine a high five as he goes up to the platform, but in this video it was another dancer, but then a few seconds later it switches to Boston footage with Aaron doing the somersault.

 

I wonder if every song is a mix of Boston and Montreal? If so there might not be much difference between the English/French DVDs, apart from the songs only performed in Boston/Montreal of course!

YAY thanks for the new interview!

 

Glad to hear that she's going back to the ballads, so in,ove with them! :wub: Love TC too, so I'm hoping for a mix with mostely ballads but a few TC style songs, especially like FA, SOL and TT!!!

 

Can't wait to late 2010/early 2011!!!

Yeah same here.....best bits are the first few seconds and the "I am alive baby" line at the end....

[Timster]

Yeah same here.....best bits are the first few seconds and the "I am alive baby" line at the end....

 

Yeah I love that part!

 

I think the amazing footage and camera angles make up for any vocal disapointments people may have with this song!

[Ronny83]

RENE, PLEASE, BRING RYAN TEDDER ON THE NEW ALBUM!!!

 

Was he lurking at the time you wrote that?

I hope so.

 

Maybe Celine will cover 'Sleepwalker', Edwin.

[celinesounds]

Interesting to note though that Celine herself doesn't think she has a lot of uptempo songs when of course the truth is she does. It's just that they are never released as singles or performed live.

 

Imagine if you will an album or a concert full of the following uptempo songs that Celine has in her back catalogue:

 

- If Love Is Out The Question

- Misled

- Lovin' Proof

- Declaration of Love

- Just A Little Bit Of Love

- That's The Way It Is

- A New Day Has Come

- Right In Front Of You

- Ten Days

- Sorry For Love

- When The Wrong One Loves You Right

- One Heart

- Naked

- Reveal

- Coulda Woulda Shoulda

- You And I

- Shadow Of Love

- Fade Away

- Can't Fight The Feeling

 

and I haven't even touched upon her French albums. The up tempo songs ARE there but for whatever reason outside of the trusted trio of "Love Can Move Mountains", "I'm Alive" and "I Drove All Night" none of them are even looked at.

 

I think it's interesting to note that from the interview it's almost as if Celine's accepted that she's tried a few new things and it still hasn't gotten her back onto the (singles) charts and now she's going back to what she knows and loves. Which is absolutely fine with me. Ballads and love songs can still work on the charts and radio, they just need to be the right type of ballad or love songs - think "Bleeding Love" and not "Goodbye's The Saddest Word."

 

 

It would be a great show number

 

Refuse To Dance - as Opening Number, I love the way she performed the song on TCOML DVD

 

 

also there are many ballads to sing like

 

If you asked me to

Only one road

Nothing broken but my heart

Water From The moon

When I fall In love

Amar Haciendo el amor - it work well in place of a Spanish number

Just walk away

Where is the love

The Reason

Call the man

In His Touch

 

and many more

I am soooo stoked for the dvd's!!! GAAAHHHH!

[davidjag79]

Is the Fashionista intro included on the TC world tour dvd?????!!! I hope so!! Fingers crossed!

[AllCeline]

I'm drooling over the high-res pics from the article.

Wait, someone ISN'T impressed with the video?!?! Surely, not on THIS forum!!!

Loving that idea! Would be really awesome!

Who said anything's wrong with the video? It's the audio.

 

I'm not saying the performane is bad, it's just mediocre like the AND performance we have on the DVD.

[Edwin]

She should sing WWFM to all these "fans"

[Davey84]

Wait, someone ISN'T impressed with the video?!?! Surely, not on THIS forum!!!

 

well I wasn't either! In my memory the song was MUCH MUCH better! I don't like the way the music sounds and the way the audience sounds (NOT!!!) and not how Céline sounds! I don't think she was in such a great vocal condition, judging from this video and the TPOL one... I hope I'll be wrong!!! But no, I aint impressed at all by this video!

 

 

the interview was great though, it's nice to hear her proffessional look on her songs and carreer! and awesome to hear an English album is also in the works!

 

 

But there's one other slightly less obvious reason why "I'm Alive" is an irreplaceable part of her concert repertoire: "I don't have a lot of other uptempo songs on top of that," she admits.

We should all apologize to Edwin. There was all of us thinking we were allowed an opinion.

[fan2celinedion]

Wait a second i thought this performance was from the Movie?

[ks1981]

Brilliant can wait for the new album. Loving the idea thats she will revert back to the more power ballad style myself.

Me too! I've always wanted another classic 90s style ballad album!

[Javito]

I'm not either impressed by that IA video. As I already said, if the video we have seen of TPOL is going to remain that way (which was impressive), we're going to notice a lot of contrast between some songs... (those which were in fact "live" and those which were re-recorded )

LMAO I knew you would take the trouble to write down a comprehensive list of all her uptempo tracks through her discography!! You're so funny

 

My guess is that she never takes a look at her own CD's to check what songs she did record in the past, so she doesn't know which songs are in Unison or TCOML today

 

What's more, I bet she never looks at her albums, unless she is given them to sign! (and that's usually the front cover)

[fan2celinedion]

Javito that's so true !!! She doesn't Know what she has recored!!! hen you give her something to sign she says: did i do this? Edited April 22, 2010 at 06:55 PM by fan2celinedion

[Claudette]

To tell you guys the truth, I was never impressed with ''I'm Alive'' during the tour. They changed the wrong song's arrangement. I don't think it has anything to do with Celine's voice. That arrangement just does nothing for her voice. They should have kept the original arrangement. Songs like BYLM, MHWGO, LCMM, TLYM and IACBTMN needed the makeover, not ''I'm Alive''.

[anewdayhascome]

Well, I hope that this straight talk about Vegas and new albums doesn't mean that both the break and pregnancy plans have ended... I do hope though that this recent silence is a good sign... I'm happy that she loves her life and will respect anything she does

You are both right. Celine has a lot upbeat songs and ballads. Shaun mentioned some upbeat songs, but there's even more , much more, quality or not , but she has it , by the way we can talk about their quality.She is always untruth about her music. She lies about her music style, because she tries to convince everybody that she recorded only power ballads, that she doesn't need to change her style, like she never done, and she needs to continue with that. Why then in French she recorded only three power ballads( "Le Blues Du Businessman". "L'amour Existe Encore", "Et s'il n'en Restait Qu'ne")? none of them even closer to her English melodramatic,kitsch power ballads . If she never changed her style, if it's true that she is only ballads singer as she tries to persuade us, I would never have listened Celine Dion music

• 
  

Yes it's true , that she constantly changing herself trough French music, you know different genres and different lyrics to, as it's true that she recorded to much stupid- trash shallow ballads in English, but because she stressed this type of songs to much, instead of others types, she even convinced herself, that she doesn't have something different. She feels safer in that way. Celine thinks if she recorded more ballads, she will sells more albums. More ballads- more money Why then she doesn't do that with French albums?

• 
  

But, when the time of concerts comes, she has a big problem. Celine face the truth. She is then completely aware of the lack of quality of her English albums, that's why she usually choose songs from other singers, instead more her own, like she did on her taking chances tour.

• 
  

From this Yahoo interview it seems Celine continues as usual to makes mistakes, but it's simple, she only needs to record something interesting, good, artistic,something that leads to thinking, quality music as her French albums nothing more

Me too. I understand why they changed it, cos the old version was quite slow, and I think it was a good idea, but the actual arrangement they chose made it a poor vocal performance, cos it was too fast and the way she sang a lot of the lines changed completely. I wish they did something more like the Wake Up mix:
