[Guybrush Threepwood]

Hi

 

Not to long ago I spoke to some of my friends about Celine's 'Unison' Album.

And they don't seem to know of it!! It kind of made me sad to think they had never even heard 'If there was any other way' and 'If love is out of the question'.

 

And I felt that this amazing album (which I love) of Celine's early music isn't acknowledged much any more.

 

Has anyone ever felt this way about Unison?

[ghazal]

not about unison but about her other albums YES!!!! and it makes me really angry

[Davey84]

yes I love the pre TCOML stuff! but it's also Céline & team's fault!! they only think her career started at FIY, with LCMM and TPOL as an exception Edited July 5, 2010 at 08:39 AM by Davey84

[celine-rc]

Happens to me all the time. How can they not know ''Unison''?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

OMG, I Love you guys!

 

I couldn't agree more! Every song on the Unison album is amazing!

 

I find it so strange when people tell me they have never heard of it!

[Tyler1991]

Yes, I definitely agree! Nothing pre-FIY has been performed since 1993 with the exception of LCMM and TPOL and one Unison performance....it breaks my heart!

[Davey84]

that's not completly true WDMHBN, BATB and IYAMT were part of the FIY tour and BATB was part of the movie medley of the ANDHC special

 

 

I recently fell in love with WDMHBN again... it's such an amazing, powerful song!

 

Plus When I Fall In Love and Unison were sang at the millennium concert

Yeah they don't know what their missing One of my friends, actually said "Celine.. isn't she dead?" And it really hurt me, and made me realize how ignorant she was

 

It's sad, it really is. But alot of people obviously know and love her, THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME!

[CelineDionFan710]

i know what you mean i had the same thing happen to me

That's because we live in a radio-obsessed world, where hardly anyone buys albums anymore. Let's be honest, Celine has never been a massive singles artist, and that has, in a way diminished her "star power"...at least with younger generation who are accustomed to hearing artists like Usher, Beyonce, and now Lady Gaga on the radio 24/7. It's not really their fault, though. It's just the shifting of society, especially when it comes the United States. She's still revered in many other parts of the world, but the fact that she hasn't had a big radio hit in the United States since ANDHC, way back in '02 is a relative testament to where her popularity as an artist is, today.

I love Unison, and I agree with you all on that. Edited July 5, 2010 at 06:55 PM by I Love You

She performed ''Unison'' on ''Star Academy'' last year.

I hope she does a brand new medley like that in the new Vegas show!

Me too, me too! That medley was one of Rene's better ideas of the last couple of years. It was perfect, because it had some of her older hits (other that TPOL, LCMM, etc.) and some new songs.

But what you said is hardly true too....WDMHBN and IYAMT weren't ever 100% live after 1992 (with the exception of that Oprah medley that was a mediocre one minute each on the non-challenging parts). You are correct on BATB, I forgot about that.....so we have three songs that have been done in one off performances. Big deal. Then we have TPOL and LCMM which don't need elaborated upon any further....

 

I have always been kind of angry that so much of her early English career has been ignored. We don't have any concert releases until 1997 (don't even try to tell me TCOML Concert counts because with 3 live songs it surely doesn't), which at that point most of her great songs she had already stopped performing.... at least we have TV specials for Unison Concert and Dix Ans Deja that we can look back to, but for Celine Dion era and TCOML we have nothing. There were so many great songs that were performed in those eras that we will never see...... from the CD era we have: With This Tear, Water From The Moon, Did You Give Enough Love, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, Natural Woman, Nothing Broken But My Heart.....and from TCOML Era there is: Think Twice (yeah we do have promo performances, but nothing on any concerts), Everybody's Talkin My Baby Down, Only One Road, and Calling You....

 

Yes, I know we have 1-2 performances each for a lot of those songs, but all in terrible quality, some mediocre in terms of vocals, or if good vocally then even shortened (cut verses, etc)... and none in a concert setting!

OMFD!! not everything in the world turns around playback!! the songs were performed, the people heard them and knew them dot freaking com

That is my new saying too. I looove that!

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Its true..

We really do live live in a radio-obsessed world, where people don't buy albums any more. Celine's early songs are not acknowledged much, and I think they really should be, because I feel kind of sorry for people who have never heard of them as they really are missing out.

Very well said, I agree with you completely.

Every other dang song is Lady Gaga, and it gets annoying. It's like, let's hear the best singer in the world once in a while!?

 

Too bad there isn't something we can do to change that, or is there?

 

I couldn't have said that better.

[ilovecelinedion238]

I agree with you! "Unison" is great! I like it

I agree!! "If I Were You" from her self-titled album is one of the most beautiful songs ever, but so few people know about it. It's a lost treasure. I often find myself liking the non-singles more than the singles, or just as much as the singles.

[Ivana431]

I love Unison! All songs are great!

[maceta_biloxi]

Call me crazy but for me the Incognito album it's more appealing than the Unison album, and I don't speak french... imagine that hehehe. Anyway the only huge song out of it it's Where does my heart beat now. I also like The Last To Know and Have A Heart.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I couldn't agree more 'If i Were you' is truly a beautiful song and a lost treasure at the same time. Edited July 6, 2010 at 03:22 PM by Guybrush Threepwood

[davidjag79]

It is kinda disheartening when i speak of Celine and people are surprised that i love her so, or they don't know much of her music. Then i think to myself Celine is my special extra ordinary performer and that is fine by me and how she makes my world a wonderful place
