"Sans attendre" album - Official Topic

[Peppercorn1991]

Is it just me or does she just answer the question with one sentense then go on talking about a totally different topic than what the question was about?? Something lost in translation?

 

Fred i often think this when watching/reading a Celine interview. I think its her way of saying i dont know, but says something instead. I often wonder why the interviewer doesnt make her elaborate her answers. I know when i have to conduct and interview as part of my Univercity cource, i try and get the right information i am asking for. If the interviewee didnt answer my question, i would ask it again in another way. There is no point asking the question if it isnt answered.

 

Celine always does this on questions about albums/tours usually, where i don't think she knows the answers herself. One thing is for sure, we know more about her children than her nowadays.

I forgot to mention - Thanks for the interview, i really enjoyed it

Thanks for the translation of the interview.

 

It's very clear that she's so disconnected with the music and she's just recording it out of obligation. No wonder so many fans/public are losing interest in her. She, herself, has no interest in it anymore. All she wants is her family, her kids, her tomatoes, her breast pump etc.

 

[Alex_Incognito]

Dhruv, you forget that she's a mother now. Mothers have babies. Not everyone knows that. Parents....children....mothers. Some mothers eat babies, like sows. But that doesn't make them any less of a mother because motherhood is stronger than anything, even when you digest your babies. It's a beautiful thing, motherhood, and you can do so much with it.

We have heard so many times now, that Celine is working on her albums. I hope she really is in studio working on her French album. There have been no pics of her arriving to recording studios, no tweets from French songwriters and no news period. I really hope it's for real this time.

 

Thanks for the translation! This interview gives me a little bit more hope that the albums are coming along. I just hope they don't change there plans again.

Regrettably all signs show this Did't she say back in January that we would have more details (in april) about the albums? Well she hadn't give much update for what she's said. If someone said this interview was from may 2011 I would have believed it because there's nothing new we didn't know since a year or so.

 

Also, one with a new album between hands and in the middle of the recording process should be nothing but excited and show that excitement talking about it, and Céline has not one album but TWO (very few artists have the privilege of releasing two records at the same time today).

 

It's great we've had some news directly from her mouth after 5 LONG months, but everytime she's asked about music it's like getting evasive answers, as if the story didn't go with her at all and she had whatever profession except that for a singer

 

Sorry it's the perception she's giving and I totally understand that fans & industry is/has lost interest in her.

Well, I'm a fan and I haven't lost I interest yet. There are definite reasons why we haven't heard much yet. Once we know, we will understand why.

[Shon]

Although i also think she's lost a bit of interest, I completely agree with you!!

[Fanxiaoqiang]

My pleasure!

you are so kind.thank you very much!

[Angel2006]

I guess we can assume that the French and English albums are going to be released on the same day? That would be so cool! After waiting for 5 long years, that would be the perfect way to make up for lost time.

 

Does anyone think the albums are going to be released at the same time, or do you think it's looking like the French album might get released first? Wouldn't it be so awesome, if we got the French album in July and the English album in Sept!! Then we would get new music that much faster!!

i do not think that the two albums released on the same day,i don't care,

the only thing i care is that it would be very gooooood to hear that celine will release the two albums on this year,i can wait no long!哈哈

I don´t think they will realeased two albums in same day and as we are in mid-may july is not real date, maybe one album in september and second in november, but we still don ´t know what are their plans, hope for some official news very soon.

[Ronny83]

But what direction or style is it going to take?

It won't be a new Céline. It's a shame that, when we're 20 years old, we don't appreciate how fortunate we are to have our parents with us. And I have the privilege of having my mother with me at home. It's important to find time and to really enjoy and live every moment.

OMG, I'm laughing so hard!

[Claudette]

I also had a good laugh reading that. I was thinking to myself, what the heck does her mother even have to do with that question. I'm guessing (and hoping ) that it is a bit of a mix-up in the translation. Maybe the new album has something to do with her mother...

 

Anyways, I have to agree with Javito and Dhruv. Celine's whole tone in this interview gives me the impression that she is only recording albums because of contractional obligations. Sadly, I'm one of the fans that is losing interest in Celine, and I'm hoping that her new albums will change that, but I have to say, with the way things are going at the moment, I'm starting to let go of that little bit of hope too. To me it feels like they have absolutely no clue what they are doing, especially with the English album. Like Javito said, we still know nothing. I seriously can't believe that it takes sooooo long to put an album together, unless you have no plan, or you are still searching for the frigging light switch in the dark.

 

I don't mean any offense to some people here, but I think you guys are holding onto something that will never be. I highly doubt that Celine's intention with these new albums is to come back with a big bang. I also think that there won't be a big promotional thing going along with them. Of course, I want to believe that I'm wrong, but I'm tired of hoping. In the last 2 years or so, we've seen many times how big expectations lead to big dissapointed in the end.

 

Call me negative or whatever, I'm just preparing myself for what might be a big disspointment (not necessarily the album, but everything going along with it) again in the end.

I understand your point Claudette, and it's logical to think and see things that way. Ironically, they said that 70 shows a year would let Celine have more time to other projects, but, apart from the recording sessions of the French album, there's nothing important yet...

And I also don't expect much promotion from these two upcoming albums since she is doing the show in Las Vegas, but who knows, maybe they promote the English one without touring the world just like they did back in 2002 with A New Day Has Come...

So the only answer she gave was: it won't be a new celine , and then quickly talking about her mother, which did not have anything to do with this question ?

[browseceline]

It is like Claudette says.. Don't expect too much and to be be honest I am getting tired of babytalk, familytalk, golftalk etc. too.

I am mostly interested in Celine as the singer she is, and currently Vegas is the main deal and I am afraid after these albums we won;'t hear anything new from her for a very very long time. Fans are not only interested in her house but of course about her albums, the style the album is gonna be, what kind of songs we can expect, which producers. Everytime asking her about it she avoids the questions and again about the Jaqcues Brelle song .. nothing new! Why is it is so difficult to tell the fans a bit more, give them a sneak preview , not in her familylive, but in the process of creating a song, or give a 10 sec. demo to make us excited? Is that so difficult?

[Javito]

Not to mention I have no idea what she means with saying "it won't be a new Céline" Did I miss something? Should we have to be expecting a new one? Since when?

 

All in all, why they seem to be talking in cryptic with all the new album thing all the time? Its because they want to surprise us with them? Well if that's the mystery behind all, they should know they're putting our expectations BIG, so they'd better come out with 2 great CDs!

 

Btw, the only "new" Céline I've known is the one who came back in 2002. The same who left in 2000 but came back even in greater shape. Renewed. After 2003, that new Céline slowly vanished until she worn herself out.

[Davey84]

Can you tell us something about this new album?

It's already been 6 years since I last recorded in French. This time I am surrounded by a lot of different lyricists and composers such as Luc Plamondon, Jacques Veneruso and Maxime Le Forestier. I also perform Ne Me Quitte Pas, by Jacques Brel, the favorite song of my dad, which I sing live in Vegas as well. I've always sang in French in the United States. I think that thanks to the music language, the message of the songs is always passed.

 

How do you feel about going back to the recording studio?

This album is gonna be like a baby. It's not about working, but about enjoying and having fun. With time I was able to understand that true happiness takes the biggest place in my life.

 

 

Anyways, I have to agree with Javito and Dhruv. Celine's whole tone in this interview gives me the impression that she is only recording albums because of contractional obligations. Sadly, I'm one of the fans that is losing interest in Celine, and I'm hoping that her new albums will change that, but I have to say, with the way things are going at the moment, I'm starting to let go of that little bit of hope too.

A lot of interesting people are working on the album and she says it's about enjoying and having fun.... where does that translate into a bad quality album and just recording for the sake of it?!

 

You were one of the people who was getting tired of the negativity and now you've become one I aint hoping for a new PQTME, but i am hoping for some great music and within 12 months I'd say we'll have that in French and in English! I've seen fans come and go, but for me Céline will always be number 1, no matter what negativity others say about her.

[Javito]

Do we have the scans of that interview? If there was a mix up in the translation, we'll find out that way

[Claudette]

Davey, Celine has been saying the same thing about all her albums ever since RC was born. Her reply always is that it is about having fun. To be honest, I don't believe her anymore. It is not what she says, but the way she answers the questions. She gives a short answer and then goes on to talk about her family. That to me says that she doesn't really care about music anymore. Yes, she had twins a year and a half ago, and I do get that her priorities changed. But all some of us asks is that she talks about her music in one interview. I agree that some of the people they are working with sounds interesting. But I mean, she doesn't say much more other than that. What is the direction they are taking? What is her inspiration for this album? Nothing... That to me just gives me the impression she doesn't care, she is just gonna take whatever songs they give her, record them and get it over with, and like before, she will forget that she even recorded them.

 

I did not say that they will give us a bad quality album. Celine always gives us good quality music and her vocals are always great, I'm just saying people shouldn't expect there to be a huge promotional thing going along with this.

 

Btw, does this mean that she is recording ''Ne Me Quitte Pas'' for the French album now? See my point. First Rene said they will record that for the English album, now she is talking about it in an interview for the French album. What on earth is going on? It seems like Rene and Celine are not even on the same page...

I totally agree! It's been very quiet lately, but what does that have to do with anything? Eventually we will get the albums that we've been waiting for, but in the mean time we just have to find other ways to enjoy her. Watch fan recordings of concerts, that's one of the things I enjoy the most, and to see her through someone else's camera is magical, you can just feel their excitement. And if you've been lucky enough to see her in concert you can try and put yourself in that persons shoes and remember how unexplainably happy you were.

 

The longer we wait, the more we're gonna appreciate these new albums.

 

[duri]

here are scans

[Davey84]

Yes that's true... I won't deny that she's not really talking about her music. But really, what do you expect if she's interviewed for some tabloid magazine? She should have a quality interview with Billboard Magazine, or YES Rolling Stone. They'll make her shut up about her family, but open up about her music...

I do agree that she should perform her new songs and show a bit more interest in her music than in other's....

But still it's not making me like her less or make me loose interest in her... Her family is her priority now, that's logicial... How many years does she have left with her mom and René? She'd rather spend time with them than do another major (promo) tour...

Well that's not something completely new:

 

BYLM was added to FIY at the last moment

LTAL was originally called The Reason, than the title was changed, even TR was already issued as a single

TD was added to ANDHC at the last moment to replace CWS, just cos Céline believed in that song!

 

Don't tell me you never did a project and changed your mind, during the process?

Amen, Claudette.

 

Besides, I agree with the fact that we should leave negativity aside before actually having the album or listened it, but guys its REALLY difficutl to keep alive the excitement and hopes up when the artist herself has ZERO interest in disclosing any kind of information about either the english or the french album since like... 2 years now?

It's not normal that whatever interview we have that they try to ask her something about her music/career she goes off at a tangent and switchs on the mother/family mode to reply................ ZzZzZzZ........................

[browseceline]

okay google translate gave me this when I translated it:

I can't speak French, but it comes pretty close to the translation Celinefan made

 

It will not be a new Celine. There will be lots of emotion in this album. You know cést damage has twenty years we do not understand why we are lucky, while the parents are the days turn. And I feel fortunate to be a mom at home. We must try to capture time and profile of this moment.

 

 

 

So it is not about her mum but about being a mum. Well , anyway, can't completely connect this answer with the question

Edited May 14, 2012 at 11:08 AM by browseceline

Maybe reason why NMQP is now for french album is that they change style of english album and there won ´t be Vegas style album but something new, but untill we get some official news we can only thinking about possibilities.

[Javito]

here are scans

 

Thank you!! :flowers:

 

Well even though we don't have new info about the albums, I'm glad she's not talking about the Vegas shows that much anymore. Maybe the idea of extending the contract has been abandoned?

[celinedionfan1]

We don't even know if she's not interested anymore. It's not like she said "I'm not interested in music anymore, so therfore I will only talk about my family in interviews!"

 

So stop saying she isn't. For all we know she could be really excited, but it might not be something she goes around thinking about all the time. She's got a lot on her hands right now, so don't blame her. Most mothers go on maternity leave for a year, she came back after 4 months. Give her a break.
