Hey all - have not posted here in a long, long time. But I have been following off and on.

 

Let me just say, that the new album is incredible. Some great original music, amazing performances by Celine, and some songs are just stunning.

 

It occurred to me as I was listening to it the other day that it is another French album that proves the biggest difference between Celine's work in English and French (in my opinion): Her French albums are actual ALBUMS - meant to be listened to as a whole. Don't get me wrong, she has made some incredible work in English. The production of Falling Into You is amazing...and there are any number of selected tracks on each of her English albums that are amazing. But I always get the impression on her English work that she is releasing a collection of songs - not necessarily meant to be listened to together. However, her french albums (and this is especially true if you speak the language) always have a message or consistency to them. There are common threads and themes in each of her French albums that I don't think exist in her English work (with some exceptions - Miracle, of course, and to some extent A New Day Has Come). Celine sets out to make "whole" albums in French and that is why I have always been a greater fan of her French work than her English. Don't get me wrong, she has some fantastic albums in English. But at the end of the day when it comes to albums that are collective pieces of work, her French output is miles ahead of her English.

 

Sans Attendre is yet another French album that has a very specific focus in terms of content and style. Another job well done by Celine and her French team.

That's weird.

 

 

I have connected again with no problem. If this pop-up appears, you should hit "Permitir".

 

 

 

If not, revise that you have the most updated version of your Adobe Flash Player, Javito.

Hi

 

Can anyone confirm whats next for the promotion schedule for this album? What tv shows / specials are to come (with dates if poss - please)?

 

Thanks.

[Ray]

I bought the deluxe edition and truely love it! I especially love Parler à mon père.

But I also think she did a great job on Ne Me Quitte Pas, although my partner would have prefered a quitter version (like the way she sang Vole).

[sebbydion]

ok I know that this isn't about the Sans Attendre (that I love if I may say) but I just search everywhere and dind't find, if someone please can send me somehow the studio version duet with Claude Dubois of "Si dieu existe" I'll be sooo happy...Can someone help me on this?

And again I know this isn't the correct topic for it but just this once...help?

[Henri]

Isn't there a studio recording on Claude Dubois' album Duos Dubois.

[LuisMa]

Yes, the song is indeed on the album Henri just mentioned.

[pat200]

still havent received the album from wowhd....

[Peppercorn1991]

Yes, the song is indeed on the album Henri just mentioned.

 

ooooo i guess ive got a new song to go listen too then Never knew, i love it when you think you know all the songs and one pops up lol

 

kev x

[Javito]

still havent received the album from wowhd....

 

Neither do I, and I'm so annoyed at this point. I wrote them 2 times and now they tell me it may have been delivered in the post office! That's absurd, if that had happened, the postman would have sent me a notice, and that never happened . They always leave a notice if the parcel can't be delivered in home.

[JP]

I was kind of hoping that it would be released on LP.

Does Sony is releasing a lot of LP? I doubt it will happens

[Javito]

It was just today that I realized Sony France released Johhny Halliday's album on vinyl LP. I wonder what's wrong with Céline that she never gets a vinyl release anymore, even when the format is back in fashion and her best selling male version in France gets a vinyl release too

[mike_z]

I don't know If anyone posted this, from yesterday, they even mention the possibility of "QPVSA" being the third single

Céline Dion : son nouvel album "Sans attendre" (déjà) certifié triple disque de platine

Céline Dion a rassemblé près de 5 millions de téléspectateurs samedi dernier pour l'émission "Le Grand Show", organisée à l'occasion de la sortie de son album "Sans attendre". Après avoir fait un excellent démarrage en début de mois, ce nouvel opus a été certifié triple disque de platine au cours du programme diffusé sur France 2.

Ce n'est peut-être pas "Le miracle" qu'elle chante si bien sur son nouvel album, mais bel et bien un très grand succès. Céline Dion a reçu samedi soir, durant "Le Grand Show" de France 2, un triple disque de platine des mains de Michel Drucker et Véronic Dicaire pour les ventes de "Sans attendre". Equivalente à 300.000 albums mis en rayon chez les disquaires, cette certification récompense les 150.000 ventes réelles de l'album "Sans attendre" en seulement quelques jours. Ces chiffres sont d'ores et déjà bien supérieurs à ceux affichés par le précédent album français de Céline Dion, "D'elles", sorti en 2007. Nul doute que l'interprète de "Tout l'or des hommes" parviendra à écouler tous les supports mis en rayon dans les prochaines semaines. Les fêtes de Noël approchent et le succès de l'émission "Le Grand Show", qui a réuni 4,8 millions de téléspectateurs, auront des répercussions sur l'évolution du Top Albums. "Sans attendre" est actuellement classé deuxième après avoir fait une entrée en pole position en affichant près de 100.000 ventes au compteur en première semaine.

 

http://www.chartsinfrance.net/style/breves/1/photo_1351672076.jpgL'album "Sans attendre" était donc très attendu. Cinq ans que la chanteuse n'avait pas enregistré en français, à l'exception d'un duo avec Michel Sardou pour l'album "Etre une femme... 2010", intitulé "Voler". L'interprète de "La maladie d'amour" était d'ailleurs présent samedi soir pour "Le Grand Show". Il a interprété son duo avec Céline Dion, tout comme Florent Pagnya accompagné la chanteuse sur le titre "Je lui dirai" alors quePatrick Bruel l'a invitée à reprendre avec lui son titre "Qui a le droit ?". Enfin, Johnny Hallyday a partagé le plateau avec Céline Dion pour interpréter leur premier duo "L'amour peut prendre froid", présent sur les nouveaux disques respectifs des deux artistes.

Céline Dion a également profité de la soirée pour chanter ses deux derniers singles : "Parler à mon père", encore récemment dans le top ten des titres les mieux vendus en France, et "Le miracle", dont le clip vient d'être mis en ligne et devrait rapidement être diffusé sur les chaînes de télévision musicales. Autre titre interprété samedi soir : "Qui peut vivre sans amour ?", électrique, qui ferait un très bon troisième extrait pour les prochains mois. "Sans attendre" est un album très intime, dans lequel Céline Dion confie ses joies et ses peines. Cependant, seuls quelques titres sortent du lot, à savoir "La mer et l'enfant", "Si je n'ai rien de toi" et "Les petits pieds de Léa".

Its not needed to be a fortune-teller to know that QPVSA will probably be the next single:

 

D'elles tracklist order:

 

1. Et s'il n'en restait qu'une

2. Immensité

3. A Cause

 

=singles

 

Taking Chances tracklist order:

 

1. Taking Chances

2. Alone

3. Eyes On Me

 

=singles

 

Sans Attendre

 

1. Parler à mon père

2. Le Miracle

 

=singles

 

and...?

 

I just hope this album gets more than 3 singles, because it has so many good songs to be promoted

I agree 100%! However when would she get time to promote it? She is back in Vegas at the end of Dec. then I guess she'll have to start on promoting WAAF?

I would listen to it in Vegas, lol

I also agree with you. QPVSA is one of the songs I don't really like, but I was earlier telling my hubby what you said about it. I absolutely adore "Les Jours Comme Ça" but I know they won't release a Bonus Track as a single. And, of course, I know that the songs I like will not always become singles.

[Alex_Incognito]

I fear Qui peut vivre sans amour will be the A cause of the album---known by everyone to be the NEXT best single and then just dropped. Edited November 27, 2012 at 07:30 PM by Alex_Incognito

[LuisMa]

I feat Qui peut vivre sans amour will be the A cause of the album---known by everyone to be the NEXT best single and then just dropped.

 

When A Cause was dropped I was really

[pat200]

Finally got the deluxe version! I am so glad!

It's a shame because I have loved this song even when it was just a little 30 sec. snippet....

[celinefanonline]

i would love Les Petits Pieds de Lea to be the next single though! that would be nice!

My review of the album, a little late:

 

First, I have to say I LOVE it. I agree with Rene that it's the best since D'Eux . . .it's coherent, intimate, her voice is gorgeous, it's very emotional but the singing is restrained -- that is, the intensity of her emotion comes through beautifully without anything approaching screaming or even the loud passion of a power ballad (on most tracks). It's a beautiful album full of amazing songs. I'm actually really glad they postponed the English album, to let this gem of an album shine on its own.

 

Une Chance Qu'On Sa-- I love everything about it; definitely one of my new favorite Celine songs . . . Love the melody, love the way Celine sings it -- with urgency and passion, but without overdoing it . . .love the warmth of Ferland's voice and the chemistry between them - both vocally and the affection you see between them every time they're onstage together . .and I love, love, love the message of this song. It's deceptively simple, but really about a more mature kind of love . .the idea that we have *each other* . . .not just that I love you so much, you're so great, I'd do anything for you -- but that "I have you AND you have me . we have each other. . .it's a meeting of equals; two adults in an relationship who are there for each other. -- so simple and beautiful (also why it works so beautifully as a duet - the idea of two equals together, loving each other). And I love that "une chance qu'on s'a" was an expression Celine and Rene always said to each other.

 

Celle qui m'a tout appris -- another true gem. Another gorgeous melody, and the emotion in Celine's voice is incredible. The lyrics are so touching and bittersweet - and relatable by anyone who's had parents grow older -- that idea that - even though she may feel lost herself, the roles are reversed today, and she is watching over/taking care of the one who taught her everything. I think the most amazing part is where she sings "Je sait qu'elle suit dans la lumiere/Le chemin trace par mon pere" ("I know she's follwing in the light/the path traced by my father" Celine's voice trembles as she sings the "par mon pere" and it is just incredibly touching and beautiful.

 

Je N'ai Pas Besoin D'Amour -- I know Celine loves this song, and I see why . .I love the poetry of the lyric. . Love the emotion -- again restrained but still quite intense . . .love especially the intensity and joy in her voice at "un petit, petit bonehur immense . .un beau cadeau de l'existence" . and i adore the live version from Tout le monde en Parle. The only thing I only don't like about is the ending, which feels too abrupt to me, as though it doesn't go with the rest of the song . . .

 

Les Petit Pieds de Lea . . Beautiful and heartbreaking . .with a melody so approrpiate to the subject . .a lullabye but much sadder.

 

I enjoy most of the other songs except Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour (I know, I'm the only one; everyone else loves it, but I don't care for the sound of it; not a big rock fan; usually skip it when I listen); and Que Toi Au Monde (I don't care for a lot of the Plamondon stuff; I know he's a lyricist and not a composer, but most of the melodies for his songs feel very repetitive and not that interesting or beautiful. But the emotion in her voice on this track is -- again --beautiful in that incredible restrained but passionate mood that pervades this album.)

 

Overall, I LOVE it. One of my favorite Celine albums . .and in a way, it's a little hard to go back to the English albums after listening to an album like this . . makes the English albums feel shallower and less intimate . .
