Qui peut vivre sans amour (Who can live without love?) - Official Discussion Topic

[Adeva]

Hate to sound like a broken record but the song is a flop because the melody sucks. This was even a worse choice than le Miracle. The video will not help.

 

They need to face the fact that this was another bad single choice and get ready to release Attendre as the final single. QPVSA is an album filler, not single material.

 

Singles should have been:

1. PAMP

2. SJNRDT

3. ATTENDRE

and

4. JNPBD'A in Quebec and L'APPF in France

 

SA could have reached 2M

Are these people music business experts?

[Javito]

Don't agree with that, I would say that QPVSA is even MORE single material than Parler a mon pere. Much more! But PAMP was successful because people was waiting for new Céline music in french, and whatever she released after so much time would be welcomed. But you can't say QPVSA isn't single material because it has much more potential than the first single for example.

I totally agree about PAMP. Really didn't like it as the lead single and was astonished by its success. BUT it has a nice melody whereas QPVSA has no melody, the sound is dated and Celine's voice has no emotion to it whatsoever.

 

Even L'APPF whether you like it or not has a nice meloody. It frustrates me that they never choose the right singles and the public doesn't get to hear some great songs that could change her image. SJNRDT is an infinitely better song than QPVSA from the melody to Celine's interpretation.

 

And if Attendre does not make it as a single while Le Miracle did, it'll be a crying shame!

[artist]

QPVSA is attracting people in my homeland, Syria! Even non fans, the lyrics are so true and the choreography is wonderful.

One can't say that it's a bad choice for a single! people even wanna hear an English version of it.

I understand you are entitled to your own opinion but aren't you being a tad harsh. Personally I prefer this song to Le Miracle. Yes, where is the dislike button

Please bear in mind that this is only your personal opinion, many other fans feel exactly the opposite (me included).

^ LOL Kevin

 

In other news, I posted on the D'Eux thread that "Vole" is in the Top 40 on iTunes thanks to a The Voice performance. As much as I'd love for "Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour" to be high up the charts instead, a Celine hit is a hit, no matter present or past.

 

I also wish somebody got to sing QPBSA on any of those shows. Someone did it on American Idol for "Yoü And I" by Lady Gaga before it was a hit, and it worked very well for Gaga. Of course, having Celine sing it on the show would be better, but that would be the next best thing, if it also makes the song chart in a better position.

Does anybody have a HQ version of the single cover? I have this medium size one, but I was wondering if there was an even better one out there.

From 197 to 250

Ouch! It will be hard to rebound. It seems the video did nothing for the song as well on the sales charts. I wonder if a 4th single is not out of the question.

[DionFanAlways]

Bummer I really loved this song and video.....

[Shaun]

Yeah it's a shame but sadly it's just not a spring / summer song.

[Kyle_Jared]

The song is nowhere on iTunes...for advertising or charting....and airplay is driven very much by that. I'm sure they prefer record sales over single sales. Seems they always have. I personally don't think any more singles from Sans Attendre will chart. But the album is selling still!! It never a bad thing releasing a new video.

[isurrender]

She really should do one TV performance from Vegas.

 

Well, even if she did, there's no variety show on french TV.

 

So...

[Bóól'át'í]

Yeah it's a shame but sadly it's just not a spring / summer song.

 

 

The music business has changed drastically. The concept of a summer song vs a winter song is a non-factor anymore. Listen to the radio and you'll hear thumping beats in winter and ballads (or whatever you wanna call 'slow' songs now) in summer. I miss the days when that wasn't the case.

[Lindah1984]

Totally like Qui peut vivre sans amour!

 

I do think it is emotional, her voice, lyrics, music.

Like the whole shebang.

 

I do feel like shouting after the song, QUI!

''Qui peut vivre sans amour'' (which I still like) is tuneless compared to ''Attendre'', ''Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour'' & ''Si je n'ai rien de toi''. ''Attendre'' not only represents the album's mood/message perfectly, but it also happens to be the most poetically written song of this project. Such a wasted opportunity. Again! Now this song will never have the chance to shine to a wider audience because Celine's team chose the wrong singles. You know it's over when the second single of your album peaks at a pathetic #77 despite several Tv perfomances and the general buzz around the album. The time ''Qui peut vivre sans amour'' was chosen to be the 3rd single I knew it wouldn't do anything and I said so here. I don't know why, it was just obvious to me! I hope they release a 4th single that will NOT be ''L'amour peut prendre froid'' (the weakest song of the album), but I seriously don't see this coming anymore.

But you could see this coming, right? It's Sony, it's Céline's team. They seem to never want to do something right And when other singers and record labels, after such a successful album, would pick a 4th and even a 5th single, we know that Sony will probably stop the promotion right now and leave the great "Attendre" and "Si je n'ai rien de toi" in the oblivion.

 

It's always the same story here, I'm not surprised.

[fred]

Where can I find a good translation of Attendre? I need to find out what you're all cheering about, coz frankly, musically it's not a big deal at all.

I made this one for a friend when the album was released, taking into account my limited french knowledge. Here you go

 

Waiting (Elodie Hesme / David Gategno)

 

Waiting

For someone who does not arrive

Waiting

Without never losing faith

To take

The path we’ve decided

To take

It takes time sometimes

Despite

What could make us doubt

We always want to wait

 

Waiting

That someone comes to look for us

Waiting

That we can finally find

So tender

This love that we needed

Waiting

And the time to finally

Understand

That it’s life who will know how to

Teach us

Life has always reasons for waiting

For waiting

 

Waiting

A child who looks like you

Waiting

The first sounds of his voice

Hear

The words that I’ve dreamed so much

To hear

(them) to be shared with you

Despite

Everything that could hurt us

We always want to wait

 

Waiting

That someone comes to look for us

Waiting

That we can finally find

So tender

This love that we needed

Waiting

And the time to finally

Understand

That it’s life who will know how to

Teach us

Life has always reasons for waiting

For waiting

 

Waiting

That you finally come to

Surprise me

And on your whole life depend

Not to say a word and understand

That I’ve spent my life

Waiting for you

And all this time that I’ve wanted

To take

It was love what I needed to give back to you

Without waiting

Without waiting

 

Yes, and feel

That it’s now the time to

Disobey

That we have to live everything before

Dying

And without trembling, without waiting

The worst

Without fear of blows, without fear of

Suffering

We will build together

Our future

Let me once again

Tell you

Wait for me!

 

Yes, waiting

That you finally come to

Surprise me

And on your whole life depend

Not to say a word and understand

That I’ve spent my life

Waiting for you

And all this time that I’ve wanted

To take

It was love what I needed to give back to you

Without waiting

Yes, exactly. IF they decide to release a 4th single, then this is going to be ''L'amour peut prendre froid''. At this point I doubt she'll include ''Attendre'' & ''Si je n'ai rien de toi'' in her upcoming concerts. I reckon she'll sing ''Parler a mon pere'', ''Le miracle'', ''Qui peut vivre sans amour'', ''Ne me quitte pas'' and MAYBE ''L'amour peut prendre froid'' & ''Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour''.

^ In the translation it is ''We always want to hope''.

Anybody noticed that the video for Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour? was the first one from 'Sans Attendre' without a sentence from a famous person?
