Jeff Abbott Posted June 30, 2012 at 01:31 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 01:31 PM (edited) I don't really care for the French songs because I don't understand the language. Although she sounds great, I can't listen to music if I don't understand the words But I do like the cover. Can't wait for the first english single!!!If you don't understand her French songs with your mind, you should try feeling them with your heart instead. I'm sure it'll work for you, trust me.

celinedionfan1 Posted June 30, 2012 at 01:42 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 01:42 PM Don't kill me, but I just don't "feel" the song...sounds to much like something from Delles...the most BORING french album she ever recorded Some of her best french songs happen to be on that album. I love it!

I love it!You're absolutely right, the only 'problem ' I had with "D'elles" was that it was too short and left me wanting for more (which is obviously a great thing), apart from that I love every single song from this album. For me it was far from boring, besides it had "Et s'il n'en restait qu'une", "Je ne suis pas celle" (my personal fav), Je cherche l'ombre", "On s'est aimé à cause", "Immensité" and "La diva" which all represent the highs of Celine's French career.

zuv Posted June 30, 2012 at 02:43 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 02:43 PM (edited) I like it, but when she says those words:"ceux" "couleurs" "coeur" "père"She sounds like she's an English speaking person with an accent. If French is your primary language, i think you'll understand. (maybe not if you're from France....idk) Its different, but i like it. Edited June 30, 2012 at 02:50 PM by zuv 1 Quote
fred Posted June 30, 2012 at 03:16 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 03:16 PM I am pleasently surprised by the cover art! It's a nice change. It reminds me alot of the type of images featured in Eva Cassidy's releases. And even though it might come off as childish it still capture the title extremely well! The song itself is anything but a surprise though. It has the weakest parts of 1f&4t + the weakest parts of D'Elles all put together. The sound carpet is horribly bland, and makes this song a total waste of album space (judged from the clip, I may come to a kinde judgement after hearing it in full). The only surprise is that still so may here liking it. /fred Quote Peace and love to all.
Alex_Incognito Posted June 30, 2012 at 03:33 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 03:33 PM She sounds like she's an English speaking person with an accent. I think you're hearing things. I like the sound of the song. Hard to love it after a 1 min clup. But it sounds promising. The cover, yuck!!!@ Quote "People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."- Céline Dion, 1990
EmmaCeline Posted June 30, 2012 at 04:02 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 04:02 PM I don't speak a word of french (i have tried though) but i still LOVE it. i adore most of her french songs and try to sing along but even if you don't understand what she is singing about then you should still respect the music, french is her native language and its what started her career so we should all be thankful for her french music. I think with this artwork and the new blonde hair maybe they're going to aim for a more light, girly sort of feel to marketing the album, after all TC and D'elles were both quite serious and rocky (TC especially), just my thoughts anyway. Personally i love it and cannot wait to see celine out and about promoting again!!! :-D Quote

But it sounds promising. lol i don't think i'm hearing things. I'm not the only one hearing it. I read similar comments, after, here and on youtube. "English speaking person with an accent" is probably NOT the best description, but she uses definitely a different tone/accent for these particular words. It reminds me of Tout l'or Des Hommes. Tout l'Or des Hommes --------------> Parler à Mon PèreA l'entré de ton "Coeur" -----------> Coeur Lentement en "douceur" ----------> Couleur Au milieu de tes "rêves" ------------>Père But now its 10 times - i wouldn't say worst - but 10 times more pronounced in the new song. She never does that in any other French songs Edited June 30, 2012 at 05:03 PM by zuv Quote
Prima_Donna1 Posted June 30, 2012 at 05:03 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 05:03 PM The cover and the song is good. The cover art is pretty and it surely looks like Celine. Quote Apprends-Moi tes Secrets...http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy180/miss_daly2881/post-1110-0-56076900-1358706235_thumb.jpg
LVCeline Posted June 30, 2012 at 05:05 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 05:05 PM Well I absolutely love the cover. I think it's different, and fits perfectly with the song. I also absolutely love the clip and can't wait for the full version. I think she sounds great, and have no comment about the accent she supposedly has as I don't speak French. Quote

She never does that in any other French songs totally agree... but why does she do that .. Is she trying to put some style in her voice because that's just ugly. Celine has the best voice on earth but If I were with her in studio.. I would tell her Don't do that. Just sing normally, keep it simple.. Quote

J'savais qui allait avoir un Canadien Francais qui allait m'appuyer la dessus I really don't understand either... I think she thinks she's getting a certain "western country"- style to her song when she does that. Not of fan of it at all. But like you say, she's got the best voice on Earth...i'm just glad of finally hearing a new song from her. Cheers Edited June 30, 2012 at 05:26 PM by zuv Quote

D'elles was unbearable at some parts because of that. i think producers in the studio dont dare tell her to work on that haha. Quote
lllBeautifulll Posted June 30, 2012 at 07:27 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 07:27 PM J'ai enfin écouté. J'suis d'accord avec mes compatriotes Québécois: bcp de manièrismes dans son phrasé (comme dans Tout l'or des Hommes) et eu peu trop nasal à mon goût. Un p'tit côté latin qui rappel Linda de Suza. Jolie chanson par contre. La voix est là, les tics vocaux aussi... Je préfère vocalement la Céline d'Incognito, Dion Chante Plamondon et D'Eux. 1 Quote
Carina Posted June 30, 2012 at 08:56 PM Posted June 30, 2012 at 08:56 PM You mean you won't listen to it because you don't understand the language. I don't understand the notes that a classical pianist play, but my word - I LOVE classical music, and I love pianos [not that I can play one! ] Language shouldn't be a barrier - I've discovered many amazing French songs because of Celine's incredible Francophone discography. Barely understand a word, but I still love the songs. I'm sorry for the mistake in my post. English is not my first language!!! I don't think classical music is really the same thing than someone singing in a language that I don't understand. I do have one French album of Celine but I hardly listen to it because I don't understand what the songs are about. For me music is about the message in a song, the meaning, not just the melody or the way the person sings. No need to be sarcastic about it. Each to his or her own. And yes, I do respect the fact that French is Celine's first language, but would the rest of the world have known about her if she didn't sing English??? O, and before I go, sorry for all my mistakes. Quote Elke begin is moeilik. Duitse gesegde
