"Sans attendre" album - Official Topic

[dmeredith]

If it is true, then they should really consider shooting the videoclip at the Schwartz's Deli in Montreal.

 

 

Now, that's funny, funny, funny!!!! Good one "Jeff Abbott"!!! LOL

[Xpresso]

I would have liked Attendre better as a single but it's still a very interesting choice anyhow... because people who still haven't bought Céline's album will be quite surprised (or shocked) when they hear Qui peut vivre sans amour.... The non Céline fans would NEVER expect this kind of song from Céline. Might not be a bad choice after all. But a hot video is needed!!!

If they wanted to realease a more "rock" sounding song, they should have gone with SJNRDT in my opinion. Based on previous stats, chances are very slim for a fourth single but if it happens, hopefull SA will make the cut!!!

[Matej]

Definitely we need a real hot music video for the third single! I mean mysterious crosses, fires, heat as hell, nailed hands, torture, maybe a bit of blood and shooted somewhere in desert due to the lyrics. And naked Celine (topless at least) would be a great at the final result. Just kidding...

I had already said it earlier that it was gonna be either LPPF or QPVSA way back in Jan when the executives were meeting to decide on the future of both the albums. The reason why LPPF wasn't chosen is because Johnny is signed to a different label - Warner Music and they sort of didn't agree to it being released (just yet) as I think his single is doing ok on the charts (no idea about this), so the only option left was to go with QPVSA. Now just hope that we get 'Attendre' as a single as well unless of course, they decide to leave this album with just 3 singles to concentrate on the English album later on.

 

I would not go as far to say that because there have been many songs that can come close - OSAAC, for example. But that is just my opinion. Nevertheless, Attendre deserves a single release. But I think it will be the fourth single considering LPPF or QPVSA seems to be doing the rounds for the third single as per the rumours I keep on hearing from certain sources.

 

[Jeff Abbott]

In my opinion, it's kinda tough to predict the future success (or failure) of QPVSA on the charts. Still, an intense videoclip would help it tremendously.

[Chin]

I think it's a good choice of third single, although this is not my favourite from the album

[Jeff Abbott]

^^^

I also agree that "Attendre" has bigger chances of performing well on the charts. It's possible that the release of "Attendre" depends mostly on the reception QPVSA receives.

[mike_z]

Guys, I'm so happy that we got a third single! We should be grateful! Especially if we get a music video.

 

Of course, most of us agree ATTENDRE would be a huge huge hit everywhere, but QVPSA is not bad.

 

Good things about the song:

1- The "Qui?!!" on the song is pretty catchy, I read many comments on youtube making fun of it. So yeah, it's a song that will stick in your head.

2- It sounds pretty similar to "S'il N'en Restait Qu'une"... same formula, same dramatism. That song reached #1 in France so it does appeal to the public.

3- They could make a hell of a video and maybe even grab some lines. It's a "fierce" song.

4- It includes the highest chest notes on the album, so it's good for people who want some dose of "Diva" Céline, which "Le Miracle" lacked.

 

Bad things:

1- Some people just HATE this song. Something that doesn't happen for example with "Attendre". It's like white or black.

2- It doesn't represent the album...

3- It sounds very 2007ish. Like a leftover from "D'elles".

 

 

So, I really hope we get 4th and 5th singles! Maybe LAPPF (it would easily rise to #1) and Attendre to crown it all!

This album deserves to have 5 singles. It could remain a big seller until the end of the year and maybe pass the 1 million mark in France. I'm pretty sure of it although people doubt it. Unless they let it die.

 

 

NOW... we want the video! too bad they didn't mention it!

[Jeff Abbott]

I'd like to be convinced that Sony executives know exactly what they're doing to ensure the endurance of SA on the charts and it's higher sales.

All we could do now is trust they have a coherent strategy as to how to present the public with QPVSA, make them like it and convince those who are yet to buy the album to do it now.

[Jeff Abbott]

By the way, in what way does QPVSA sound outdated (as was mentioned before in some previous posts)? I'm just curious. Edited February 10, 2013 at 04:24 PM by Jeff Abbott

[Bruno Portugal]

Not my favorite, but I really like "Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour?".

Now Celine needs a music video to promote it.

[Del]

I LOVE QPVSA! I always have, even from the first little snippet! Soooo dramatic! Come on video! It can be shot in the desert....I don't care!

I say do the video shoot in Florida

[Jeff Abbott]

Am I the only one thinking that QPVSA is quite similar to "Can't Fight The Feelin'" from 2007?

I remember listening to QPVSA for the first time and saying to myself 'hey it's the French CFTF'. Maybe it's the overall style of both songs that is very much alike.

I think it was totally built after "Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une...".

 

When she sings "Mais qui peut dire?" you could easily replace it with "Je serais celle-la!". Same intention, same songwriting!

[Kyle_Jared]

A music video is a must. The song is totally catchy and brave. I think it will resonate with even non-celine fans. Potential for sure. Remember when she was promoting this album back in November she performed this along side PAMP and the sales exploded.

[mike_z]

I think that if she doesn't shoot a video, many people will look this song up on YouTube and think that the video Perez Hilton posted is the official one. It's not bad though already has more than 100,000 views!

I don't see it. Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une is one of my favorite Celine songs.

Qui isn't. It's not that catchy and not so poppy. It's more rock.

To me they are nothing alike.

[TommKat22]

I am happy a new single is announced, but seriously!?! Why the FFFF do they always release the first 3 songs from an album nowdays!? It's like, oh yeah, if you download the new Celine Dion album on itunes, just download the first 3 tracks, the rest is just crap we don't give a sh!t about! IMO QPVSA is one of the weaker songs of the album! Attendre and LPPF are much better single choices. I really hope LPPF is released as a single, cos that song can make it big in France.

 

Billboard.com had an article on the sequencing of tracks in an album recently. They said that because the music industry is more singles-based than album-based nowadays, record companies will put the most "single-worthy" material towards the beginning of the album so that people who preview the album will recognize the songs, and be more inclined to buy the whole album. It makes sense from a marketing strategy, but yes it can leave other songs to be unnoticed. :/

That might be a good startegy as long as the right "single-worthy" tracks are chosen to be at the beginning of the album. Celine's team has a consistent track record of chosing the wrong tracks to be released. If they planned to release QPVSA, they should have chosen SA as the second one. I guess with so many other great songs on this album and Sony's history of releasing 3 singles, some of us feel that it will be another lost opportunity. QPVSA is just as forgettable as Le Miracle in my opinion while SA, LPPF or SJNRDT are memorable melodic songs that could actually do well at radio. She keeps recording songs that could get massive airplay but her team keeps picking the wrong ones. Whoever made the final decison about releasing Le Miracle should be fired, unless it was she and René but I doubt they have the last word.

Well, I would prefer "Attendre" to be the third single, but knowing Celine's team QPVSA is not a bad choice.

You know, they could be released "Tant de temps" for sure. http://i.imgur.com/xngKS1P.gif

 

But now I'm afraid, knowing them I will not surprise if they take some performance of QPVSA from "SA" promotion and release as "Official Video" just like they did with "Alone" :giggle:

 

So, the war is not won yet guys, let fingers crossed.

[anewdayhascome]

Please vote still for PAMP and LM. PAMP is in its 29th week;)

I hope that we'll get more than 3 singles! This album really deserves it. I think it all depends on the success of QPVSA which is not so evident. I think that Attendre would really work for the summer. What's more, I think that Celle qui m'a tout appris would work too at some point.

[Boy]

I feel in love with this song back when the snippet became available on Celine's official site I think it's a good choice even though the song sounds quite unexpected, that might do a bad effect eventually but we'll see. I like the contrast it has with the previous single 'Le Miracle'. It's like warm spring days and dark autumn.

 

Many people say 'L'amour peut prendre froid' would be the best choice for the 3rd single. SERIOUSLY? I'm not sure but i don't think this is smth that might turn in2 a catchy hit song

[Macaronie]

I don't know why everybody underestimate Celle qui m'a tout appris

 

It's bland. Album filler.

Yes I can see them using the video of QPVSA from the Grand show and that would be a disaster! She was so off.

If they do that, I hope they use the performance from 'We Love Céline'

[mike_z]

I see lots of people disappointed of "Attendre" not being chosen. Maybe that's a good sign.

 

I don't think "Le Miracle" was a bad choice at all... we knew it wasn't gonna be a #1 hit, but it helped album sales tremendously as it portrayed the mood of the album.

Le Miracle also helped to keep PAMP's in the charts for much longer... It's almost as if Sony planned to release a 2nd single that wouldn't do so well on the charts to keep the first one going...

I'm SO GLAD they didn't pick L'amour peut prendre froid as 3rd single... It might do well on the charts but I just don't feel that song. One of my least favorites on the album, probably thanks to Johnny
