Caesars Palace headliner Celine Dion has been wrapping up her new English-language album “Breakaway” at Studio at the Palms. It has been a week of news with the Canadian songbird as husband and manager Rene Angelil revealed her contract extension through 2019 and also told The Journal de Montreal that Celine will get to fulfill her dream of being a film actress.

He told showbiz journalist Raphael Gendron-Martin that Celine is involved in a project about the life of American-born Greek opera diva soprano Maria Callas. Rene said: “It’s something she could still do while we’re in Las Vegas because there’s plenty of time off between the Caesars Palace concerts.”

Congratulations to Celine because she celebrates her 45th birthday Saturday. From all of us at Vegas Deluxe, champagne wishes, Celine, for a very Happy Birthday!

Song writer, Daniel Merriweather, who wrote "Water and A Flame" accuses Celine of stealing credit/rights of his song. (LMAO)

 

https://www.facebook...ielmerriweather

 

WOW...Thank you Samantha Ronson for drawing attention to this. It is astounding that Celine Dion tries to pass off lyrics that I wrote as her own... Now, if i had written the song for her, it wouldn't bother me so much, but 'Water and a Flame' is a very personal song that i wrote right after a break up i was going through and is one of my personal favorite songs on my album 'Love & War'... This song has every ounce of my heart ache and pain in it and she pretends as if she wrote it her self... it actually is quite strange... like what more do you want? You have sold 200 million albums worldwide but you cant give credit to the artist (me) that wrote the song you have named your album after... she mentions my friend and one time collaborator Adele, but Adele didn't write one word or melody of Water and a Flame and she'll be the first to tell you that... i asked her if she would sing the song with me to turn it into a duet, i had originally written it for one person but then adapted it to suit a female perspective in the second verse... My friend Eg White wrote the chords and arranged and produced the song, but i wrote the melody and the lyrics, every word!... all anyone has to do is call up APRA/AMCOS and ask them what the percentage splits are and they will tell you it is 50/50 between myself and Eg White... why would an artist of Celine Dion's calibre and prowess need to steel credit like this?... as i said, it is absolutely astounding!

 

Look, don't get me wrong, i am genuinely flattered that anyone would want to cover one of my songs, but there is an age old etiquette amongst artists that one gives credit where credit is due... I don't do this for the fame, i make music because i love it and because i didn't have a Plan B... I dropped out of school... all i knew how to do was sing and write songs... i was painting on train walls and selling 10 packs at 17... i didn't come from money, i didn't 'give music a shot'... it was ALL i had... all i have is my words and my music, im blessed to have my family and my friends, and i am grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way and believed in me, but i have lost some good people along the way too and the words we speak and the music we make should be in honor of them, of the words they can no longer speak, in honor of our humanity and the love and light we are here to give back... So, thank you Celine Dion for singing my song, but if you had seen even half of what i have seen in my life time you wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning let alone sing, so just be mindful of the fact that songs are a connection to the ether, and an insight to our inner most thoughts and feelings and for SOME of us it may be all we will ever have.

 

wow, i know its not a place to give your opinion... but "WOW SERIOUSLY?!?!? Is he out of his mind!?!?!"

Update from the WAAF controversy created by crybaby and song writer, Daniel Merriweather.

 

 

Response to Comments from Daniel Merriweather

 

 

Daniel Merriweather’s comments originated from Celine's one appearance on Katie Couric a few months ago when she played a portion of "Water And A Flame" during an in-studio interview. Before playing the song, Katie asks Celine about her "new favorite artist", Adele, and Celine tells Katie how much she loves Adele. Celine continues by talking about "Water And A Flame"....about how much she loves it....and how it's a bit different from what she's used to singing. She doesn't mention anything about who wrote the song. Despite the headlines that have emerged from Daniel's publicity, Celine certainly doesn't claim in any way whatsoever that she wrote the song. While we can understand Daniel's disappointment by not having his name mentioned during Katie Couric’s interview, it's rather unfair to Celine to be on the receiving end of the many disparaging comments that have now become public.

Throughout Celine’s 32 year career she has always been very vocal about sharing the credit for her successes. She has been very vocal about the fact that she does not write her own songs...and that she is fortunate to have wonderful and talented writers to provide these gifts to her. For her to be accused of "stealing" a song is not only grossly inaccurate, but also very hurtful. During the thousands of interviews that she's given over the years, it's often that she will not mention the names of the writers involved. It's something that may not come up a lot in the interviews. That said, when a Celine Dion album is released, we alwaysinclude complete and accurate writer credits in an updated bio, and of course, inside the CD packaging. Celine's new English album will be released worldwide this Fall. We are very excited about this new album, and we hope to have great success with it....and great success for all those who have contributed.

She loves Daniel Merriweather and Eg White’s song so much, and would never want to do any harm to them....nor take away anything from them....in fact, the opposite would be true.

We hope this clears up any misconceptions regarding Celine's intentions.

Not sure if this is a reliable source....

http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Celine-Dion/news-86844.html

 

Via Google translation:

Céline Dion: her new album "Water and a Flame" will be released October 7, 2013.

Her latest album "without delay" is always defended in radio by the single "who can live without love?", Céline Dion will return in the bins with his new English album "Water and a Flame" on 7 October. A new success in sight for the artist who will perform at Paris-Bercy from November 25 to December 4.

We know for a few months, Celine Dion will release its new English album this fall. On the same model in 2007 with "D'elles" and "Taking Chances", the diva out an album in French and a second recorded in English a few months. It is ultimately only nine months after the shelving of "No wait," continues a very successful career in the charts and displays more than 680,000 sales counter that "Water and a Flame" will point in stores on schedule of Columbia / Sony Music label. The date of October 7, 2013 has been announced. This is a great year ahead for the label, which can already count on the success of the album "Random Access Memories" by Daft Punk, passed to 340,000 copies in just two months.

 

However, do not expect any first single from the album "Water and a Flame" before the end of the summer. No new single from Celine Dion should be launched in the meantime, even if the song "Unifinished Song", written by Diane Warren for the soundtrack of the film "Song for Marion" by Paul Andrew Williams, is already listening. Several excerpts from the album "Water and a Flame" were recently revealed through two seconds teasers announcing the more pop sound of this new British record, as usual. Several artists will appear as usual appropriations this project, Ne-Yo, who has agreed to record a song with Celine Dion. If Eg White and Babyface are advertised as authors and composers, Stevie Wonder is, meanwhile, as a performer. He will share with Celine Dion recovery tube "Overjoyed".

[c4n4d4]

Raphel Martin, a journalist for Journal de Montreal, just said on twitter that Rene told him the album would be released October 22nd around the world. He also confirmed that "Loved Me Back to Life" was indeed the album title and is also the first single.

Celine Dion's new English album will be called "Loved Me Back to Life"

 

As was the case in 2007 with the album "D'elles" and "Taking Chances", Celine Dion will release in the wake of his latest French album "Without waiting for" a new record in English. October 7, appear not "Water and a Flame", as mentioned above, but "Loved Me Back to Life." In addition to collaborations announced a new would be added to the list of known names, Australian Sia.

This is a comeback for the singer of "So you still love me", which plans to follow up without delay with a new English album, whose title should be "Water and a Flame". Finally, according to Le Journal de Montreal, this album will be entitled "Loved Me Back to Life." It will be released on October 7 and will be preceded by first single expected in September.

 

Collaborations with Ne-Yo, Eg White, Babyface and Diane Warren were announced. According to several overlaps, singer Sia could also include the appropriations in this project as the title track "Loved Me Back to Life" was signed by him. A demo is even listening on the canvas for several weeks. The information has not yet been confirmed, but a tweet posted last May on account of Sia suggests that the two stars have actually met in the studio. It would not be surprising that the Australian involved in this project. In recent months, the singer of "Clap Your Hands" has put his talents to many artists from different backgrounds. On the last album "Nothing But the Beat" by David Guetta ("Titanium" She Wolf "...), she signed the hit" Diamonds "by Rihanna and is currently working on the next even-disc Katy Perry .

 

A few weeks after the release of "Loved Me Back to Life", Celine Dion will live for six concerts at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy.

I can't seem to post the article from the Journal de Montréal but I will translate them here.

1) Le Banquier before les Plaines : It talks about how Céline is returning to Le Banquier but instead of hosting the show like she did in 2007, she will be playing for her foundation this time. Céline said that she hopes to have the right suitcase to be able to give as much money as possible ! There is no info about the taping of the show, les Productions J want to keep everything a secret until the show airs in october.

Also, on Friday, the day before the show, René and Céline will receive the Order of Canada from the Governor General, David Johnston at the Citadelle de Québec.

 

2) A race against time for Céline : Only a few hours after the Paul McCartney concert, Céline's team started preparing the stage for saturday's show. It's a lot of work because they have to reorganize the ticket sections, for example. Céline is very excited for saturday's show, she will sing for the equivalent of three Centre Bell.

According to Celine Dion Informatie Punt:

 

Regarding the status of Céline's new album: they're finalizing mixing it, with Céline listening to all mixes. Album out Oct 21/22.

 

According to René, the song 'Water And A Flame' is still on the new English album. It may be the 2nd or 3rd single.

 

Céline will promote her new album 'Loved Me Back To Life' @ US talkshows in Sept & Oct and will then head to Europe

 

Céline has recorded 20 songs for the new album, 12 will make the final cut (for now). The other songs may appear on a 'deluxe' version of the album.

CELINE’S NEW ALBUM: Superstar singer Celine Dion, who resumed her residency Tuesday night at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace, performed a sneak preview of her new English-language album title track “Loved Me Back to Life” on a weekend visit to her hometown in Quebec.

 

There’s confusion I haven’t been able to unravel since I returned from Europe as to what Celine record might be released Thursday, but she did chat about it with talk-show host Katie Couric for her show Thursday. It’s definite that the new album is set for release Oct. 21 after its original title was changed from “Water and a Flame” after complaints by its songwriter. Listen and watch the recording sessions at CelineDion.com/ca/new-album. Las Vegas photographer Denise Truscello captured some of the Florida recording sessions for the album artwork.
