Celine to pay tribute to Whitney Houston (via video)

[wboxoffice]

Lipsynching for Whitney and not showing up to the real concert either... well, this is not the best tribute. I would have rathered Celine put herself on the line and sing an emotional live song in the tribute concert, but she wanted to play it safe and submit a polished perfect performance that is lipsynched. I would have rathered non-perfect vocals but something from the heart... That being said, I'm still glad that Celine is showing Whitney so much love and I can't wait to see what she taped.

but then... (lol) if it makes a much better quality song, i wouldn't mind the lip synching. i will enjoy the song much more on my ipod afterwards if it was recorded in studio.

To me it kinda gets ruined when it's a lipped performance. I don't listen to and appreciate STB as much as I would if it was sung live.

The way I see it is this performance is over and done. Let's wait and see and then move on. If she didn't sing it to perfection people would be raking her over the coals (Whitney fans)!!! They were always compared to each other! I could see the comments now....How dare she ruin a classic... She thinks she can sing like Whitney....ect.ect.

STB simply the best?

 

But thats because we got a really poor quality mp3 copy of that song... And the crowd is the most annoying one ever!! WAYYYY too loud. I can't stand that song because of those 2 things... I erased it from my ipod long time ago

thanks very much。

i saw this haha。

[Celine_2533]

It's good to see her name appears twice.

[wboxoffice]

well, it looks like the GLOA performance is lipped based on Celine's mouth and body gestures. lol

[fred]

It's gonna be interesting hearing this in this "new version" in lower key.

and the rumor is that she has prepared this ten years ago when she was still having her voice.

Some people here are so quick to judge. This reminds me when some people here back in June 2012 claimed that ''Rolling In The Deep'' was lipped when it was in fact LIVE.

[ashtonelijah]

Yeah bc 10 years ago Celine knew Whitney was gonna die in 2012 and that she would be invited to do a tribute.

:giggle: exactly, she is an illuminati after all, she knows everything a long time beforehand. And if the rumors are true, she is a satan worshipper also.

How many keys down?

[riobeard11]

Excited to see it - but I will say that I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't live because that's a signature move she does when lipping (based on this video). It doesn't bother me because she had to record the track regardless.

 

BUT! Who knows...she has been surprising a bit lately.

[one heart]

thanks for hot news :x

[olemra17]

Oh God!!! I feel so disappointed with many of your comments. If I was new on this forum I'll though this is a Celine Dion haters forum!! She looks so amazing we just heard a 2 or 3 seconds of the song and already are judgin can't believe this.

[marc-02]

Ooh... too bad it's lipped! Oh well... better that than none at all :-)

[DionFanAlways]

Can we move on from the lipped issue?

It was live indeed, but none could see her sing on them booty-legs. Here we can see her lip quivering demonstration properly in HQ Action.

Don't care how she sings it. They must have their reasons. I for one am glad we are getting to see her perform this again with her current voice.

[zuv]

i wouldn't call it a "judgment" when people think the performance is lipped, we are stating a fact. There's no subjectivity at all. People are not haters for saying she's lip synching!! LMAO unless you live in denial and think she never lips in concerts and TV shows... like many youtube users think...

 

IMO, i actually prefer this performance to be lipped, cause it will be perfect.

 

 

I think what would get rid of her "signature moves" and "jaw shaking" when she lips would be to just turn off the microphone and let her actually sing a "little bit" no?

A fact based on a 4 seconds footage.. yeah right... LOL!

 

BTW, there are no ''jaw shaking'' movements in the extremely short video footage we have see so far. Just saying.

I agree for once.

This.

 

I'm far from being as fanatical about her, as what some of you are - though there's no question, that I love her as an artist as much as anybody.

 

However, I am just so pleased to see her again, somewhere other than Vegas.

[calmar]

I've got a question for everyone who doesn't care if she's singing for real or not...

 

Why ? Seriously, why ?

 

She's a SINGER, not a model, her job is to SING. She gets paid MILLIONS to do that one thing. How can you not feel ripped off when she's faking her job ? And it's not like she openly says "yeah I lip sometimes". She's voluntarily faking it, more and more, while she keeps saying she doesn't. How is that honest ?

 

"Ohhhh but we already know she can sing" - You're right, I totally agree. But that's not an excuse. I don't care how much and how well she sang in her early career, her job is to SING. You can't/don't want to anymore ? Well, I don't think it's very honest to go around and fake your job, even more so when people pay (big amounts) for that. I don't know of many bosses who'd tell their employees "ohh I know you can do the job, so you can just fake it from now on and get paid anyway".

 

"Everyone else in the industry is doing it, so she can do it herself" - Again, how's that an excuse ? Some people steal stuff, does that make it okay for everyone else to do ? No. And not everyone lips. There are manyyyy great singers, performing many shows/years, world tours etc. who never lip a word. Of course if you're talking about Britney Spears, Kesha, and other cheap pop music like that, well yeah, they lipsync a lot, but then again, their careers aren't built around their voices, or the fact that they can sing wonderfully, or the fact that they're considered the best singer in the world. They're entertainers, it's not the same thing.

 

"She can't sing like she did 10-15 years ago anymore" - Work around it then. Like all the, you know, other singers who sing live all the time. Lower the keys of your song, change the arrangements, whatever.... but SING them please.

 

"No one can truly know if she's lipsyncing or not" - That's not true. Some people have better ears than others, and when you know what to look for, it can be pretty easy to know if she's singing live or not. And sadly for her, she's doing a pretty bad job at hiding it in my opinion.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not "hating", merely stating and questionning facts. I love her and I love her voice, and I think she still got a great voice despite getting older, but I get a weird feeling when I see the "best singer in the world" faking her job, while people are almost encouraging her to do so. Maybe I'm just weird...

[zuv]

lol i know, it might not be lipped at all (which i doubt) but my point was that when i say a performance is lipped, i don't mean to be offensive at all; its just an observation and i've always been totally cool with that.

 

anyway if you noticed, i think i made what is called an oxymoron cause i said: i wouldn't call it a "judgment" when people think the performance is lipped, we are stating a fact. LOL sorry for my bad English hahaha
