I won't buy it! :huh: I can't stand GH albums anymore!

 

It's yet another greatest hits. Yes maybe that Elvis song..

Only reason why I would buy it is when every song has been rerecorded with David Foster on the piano,

just like the versions he did with Charice.

Didn't see this coming!

 

My first thought was like: "best with David Foster? Does that mean like all tracks he did for her?" Sure they've worked together a lot, but not so many that it would be a creme de la creme selection, but more like almost every song. How many has he done for her? Anyone who likes making lists, please?

 

As unnessesary as I think this release is, would be wonderful to have IICD on an album though.

What is "GH"? and above that was reference to the W&AF tour? If you know. Thanks

Thanks for the list of songs produced by David Foster! About the production of the song I Surrender, well maybe Sony Music is inspired by the book "Hitman: The Memoir Of Legendary Music Producer David Foster"...

what does that book say about IS?

On page 199 there is Celine's citation and she mentioned that I Surrender is also produced by David Foster...

Merci.

David Foster is quite famous in Asia -- significantly more so than in the US, I believe. (He is doing an Asia-only tour this fall (http://www.davidfoster.com/shows/). . . and back in 1994 when Celine sang Love Lights the World, Beauty and the Beast, and the Power of Love in that special filmed in Japan -- that was a "Super Producers - David Foster" concert.) I read once that in Asia, people pay much more attention to producers than they do in other parts of the world, and David's really popular there. I imagine that's why they're releasing this there.

Im actually really excited about this album, even though i own nearly ever song. But when added to a collection it means so much more!

I actually really really love the idea of this album -- David Foster has always been my favorite producer of Celine's -- largely because they seem to have such a great relationship together -- such a genuine respect and affection for each other (which you can really see in that link that Kev posted). And I love how David is interviewed in practically every documentary about Celine, and just raves about how much he loves both her and Rene, and how she and Rene are "one of the greatest love stories of all time."

 

And he believed in her from the very beginning, before she was known at all outside Quebec and France; he got Sony (then CBS) to raise the budget for her first English album; he gave her a huge part in Voices that Care when she was still pretty unknown . .you can see a video of him in the TV show of the Unison launch where he predicts that she'll be a major force in the music industry, but that he thinks her personality won't change (i.e. she won't become arrogant) because she's "rock-solid". .and he was so right. And this was BEFORE her first English album came out. Love it!!

If I Can Dream? Wow, didn't know it was recorded. That's a song I'd like to have ;)

 

 

The song I would really love to see is Celine's version of Dreams to Dream from Fievel Goes West. Celine recorded it with David Foster; both David and James Horner wanted Celine to sing it, but then the movie producers decided to go with Linda Ronstadt because she was more established at that time. . .the recording must exist somewhere, right? Surely David saved it . . .

Posted (edited)

I just preordered it. I guess it shows how desperate I am for a new CD with Celine's real picture on it :laugh:

 

 

They could have replaced IIC by In Some Small Way and put one or two more unreleased songs though. But If I Can Dream is quite a great gift.

I have wanted to hear this song for years. I remember loving that song when the movie came out back in the 90s, and Linda Ronstadt's version is great, but they need to release Celine's version. She said in her biography that the song still goes through her head sometimes. And if you listen closely during the sessions recording of Alone, you can hear her sing this song with different words.

 

6:09-6:24

"I lose my hair, no one hears. I get tattoos, no one sees. My life it seems, is a world free."

WOW!! I never noticed that before about the Alone session!!! That's so cool!! How amazing that she still had the song in her head 15 years later! Thanks for sharing!!

Well David how about touring with Celine in Asia, I bet tickets will be flowing :D

LOL True! BUT at least this is something 'new' not another LTAL+FIY+ANDHC repackage! This is kinda worth it.

I do hope they put a lot of effort in the booklet... plus it would be cool if the older songs are remastered ^_^

 

I wonder why they chose to include IIC & WAWW from Miracle, surely not just because they were in the Vegas show? I would have thought Miracle (the song) would have been a better choice as it was a promo single, an original song, and Celine performed it live twice with David Foster on piano (on Oprah & Ellen). :shrug:

 

Maybe he didn't want Miracle on it, cos Linda wrote it? :giggle: But yeah Miracle would have been a much better choice, better than WAWW anyway! I don't like the album version.

 

 

 

 

These are the songs David Foster produced for Celine Dion:

 

thank you! If it were me, I would have chosen these songs:

 

*Unison

*Have a Heart

*The Power Of Love

*The Colour Of My Love

*To Love You More

*Love Lights The World

*Because You Loved Me

*All By Myself

*Tell Him

*Let's Talk About Love

*Ave Maria

*The Prayer

*The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

*Then You Look At Me

*Miracle

*In Some Small Way

 

as bonus tracks:

*(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman

*The Power Of The Dream

*If I Could Dream

*Dreams To Dream

 

:whistling: :in_love:

 

I wouldn't go for I Surrender. as it seems to be a bit far fetched... unless it's a total different recording/ or song

Thank you for these links. I have just pre-ordered the album from this site, it's definitely the easiest Asian site to order from as it's all in English! Also, if you use the code NEWTWITTER3, you save $3 off the total! :w00t:

Why don't they release an album "Celine Dion & David Foster - The Secret Sessions" with ALL the unreleased tracks. I'm sure they have TONS material!!!!
Posted
Weird that the barcode looks more US/European than Asian. :hmm:

 

Yes, good point Ronny! I remember some of the UK releases (not only Celine) were specially manufactured for Asian market with European barcodes. I don't know, maybe this is a similar case. However I hope the SIDs will unveil more information for us about the real manufacturing.

:shrug: Do you mean shipping charges? I paid $6.98 for shipping to the UK.

I like that this is not just the typical greatest hits album....there is more of a concept with it. I'd like to see a small one-off promo for this...something like this:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvDFAqs5z-M

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSN8T3SZVEQ

 

 

 

I know it's a longshot, but what would make this concept great is if they'd really do something with it like this... Imagine if Celine and David did a full concert like this, with this orchestra.... these songs sound better here than ever before (maybe not vocally, but the orchestra does wonders...)
