Second single: "Incredible" - Duet with Ne-Yo

[sailornic]

so much wait just for this? Celine just take 30 minutes max for her appearance. The giraffe? what's for?

[mirage]

I would loved to see more than just singing on the rooftop....

 

Maybe walking through the street and while they do that walk through the scenes where the people dance, the giraffe etc

Because like this it has nothing to do with the rest of the video

[SuperLove4Celine]

Just because the name of the song is Incredible doesn't mean the idea to create the video should be let's create the most incredible video anyone has ever seen. This video is about the incredible things in life, which they showcase perfectly throughout the video.

 

I personally like the girl playing the piano at the beginning and the girl doing sign language. The song itself is simple, they had to come up with a concept that was simple and went with the video. Something that they've done IMO.

 

We shouldn't be comparing the video to others she's done as the song is different from ones she's done in the past.

 

I'm quite aware of what concept the director was going for.

Celine Dion makes a bid for 2014 with her “Incredible” collaboration with hip-hop starNe-Yo. As the third single from Love Me Back To Life, the trickle piano tune is laced together with a thumping bass track and is one of the most unlikely pairings of the year.

 

The track was co-written by Ne-Yo, Andrew Goldstein and Emanuel Kiriakou and balances between catchy hook and meaningful storytelling. In the four-minute clip, Dion and Ne-Yo swap lines and take in the city landscape, as interpretative dancers present the lyrics of the brooding ballad in gliding fashion. “I’ve had a 30-year career, so I’m not going to reinvent myself,” the pop diva had said about her new album, her first English-language set in six years. “But at the same time, I don’t want to repeat myself.”

 

She added, “‘Loved Me Back to Life’ offers a sound that I think is still me, but in a fresh way. There are still powerful ballads, but they sound younger.”

 

Well, Dion is certainly right about that last point. “Incredible” is a vibrant undertaking, sampling the dance-club trend at Top 40, while still clutching to her signature power notes.

 

Popdust

 

Celine Dion and Ne-Yo proved to be an amazing — if not unexpected — pair in their ‘Incredible’ duet. Seven months after the song appeared on Celine’s ‘Loved Me Back to Life’ album, the video has been released.

 

The visual mirrors the duet in that it begins by showing each singer crooning his or her part of the verse in separate locations. However, when Celine and Ne-Yo combine their incredible (no pun intended) vocals for the chorus, the two are captured together in a sweeping aerial shot.

 

Of course, the video is interspersed with awestruck images as well. A giraffe wandering through a city, street performers inspiring each other, teammates boosting morale. The juxtaposed scenes are as unexpected as the collaboration itself.

However, Celine and Ne-Yo have unbeatable chemistry. Celine’s famous powerhouse vocals blend perfectly with Ne-Yo’s silky-smooth tone. Ne-Yo clearly looks amazed to be singing alongside the legends. (How cute is his starstruck grin toward the end of the video?)

 

Popcrush

 

Ne-Yo joins forces with Celine Dion for one “Incredible” video. While overlooking a rooftop in downtown L.A., the pop diva and R&B crooner duet on the empowering record off Celine’s latest album Loved Me Back to Life. The feel-good clip also features amazing people from everyday life and even a giraffe.

 

“It’s an honor and a pleasure to sing with Celine Dion, but it is not an easy thing,” said Ne-Yo, who previously worked with her on 2007′s “I Got Nothin’ Left.” “It’s the most irrelevant that I’ve ever felt. Because the size of Celine Dion’s voice, you don’t need me there.”

 

It was Celine’s 13-year-old son son René-Charles Angelil who persuaded her to do the collaboration. “He said, ‘Mom, you don’t even have to listen to the song. You have to do it,’” said Celine.

 

Meanwhile, Ne-Yo just released his new single “Money Can’t Buy” off his upcoming album Non Fiction, due September 30.

 

Rap-Up

 

This is just, simply, Incredible!

The always brilliant Celine Dion teamed up with NeYo on her most recent album and they've FINALLY released the music video for their duet and we're seriously in awe of it!

It's SO adorable and inspirational plus there's a random giraffe!!

The Good Morning America premiered video gives us SO MANY FEELS!

We just can't take it!

This video will definitely be on repeat pretty much all day…#sorrynotsorry!

I don't understand what some people expect- I know it's lame we never had a video for LMBTL and that this took so long and the promo in the U.S was pretty terrible- but this video had me smiling throughout- it actually feels very contemporary and suits Celine. She's not going to do anything drastic. Ever. We know that.

 

Thumbs up from me!

[Chin]

I love everything in the video... expect one thing that they blur the background too much when they took close-up of Celine and Ne-Yo at the rooftop at some scenes.

And yes, the giraffe is definitely the highlight of the video!

[QueenCeline87]

Just got to watch it!

Is it IACBTM no but was I expecting that no.

I'm so happy we finally got a video. It's so modern and even though it could have done with more Celine in it. But I love it 💗💗

[SuperLove4Celine]

The giraffe is the highlight of the video.

 

Agreed.

[LukeD]

I'm quite aware of what concept the director was going for.

Then why did you act as if you were expecting something to stand up to the song's name?

[DionFanAlways]

So who puts this on youtube, Sony or someone from her team? And when?

[dlh1]

GET IT ON YOUTUBE!

[SantiagoColorado]

It reminds me katy perry's "firework"

[Matias]

Well, if you didn't think Celine's videos could get any worse.."Incredible" appears.

The same old crappy video with random, no sense images and 30 seconds of Celine

 

We have been seeing the same thing since HYEBIL...ugh, getting tired of these low budget videos shoot in 3 hours and then a bunch of extras filling the rest of the video.

 

I didn't even see the entire video!! Snooze fest! I had to stop watching the video after the giraffe, a very WTF moment...and not in a good way.

After waiting 5 months, I pulled my roommate over to watch it with me via AppleTV on our big flat screen, and she says, "you stopped me shaving my legs for this?!" That's all I have to say, yawwwwwn.

[CelinesDIVO5]

After such a long wait, too many of you had expectations set way too high, and you all just come off ungrateful to the fact that we got anything at all. Just take it for what it is, a simple video, with a simple concept for a simple song. Edited June 4, 2014 at 07:24 PM by CelinesDIVO5

[gafsa]

I can't remember who said what's the point of releasing this video, nonsense or anyting else, but i'm sure they wouldnt be dissapointed of this video no matter how the video is.

[LukeD]

The whining in this thread is unreal.

[CelineDionFreak]

The whining in this thread is unreal.

 

I so agree. At least we get a video.

[Jessyka]

GET IT ON YOUTUBE!

 

The video isn't on YT yet? OMG.

[LukeD]

I so agree. At least we get a video.

We also got a great live CD/DVD this week... Fact is some people are hard to please...!

[mike_z]

Does anyone else think she looks a bit like in the "Immensité" video?

It's not her "official" site yet. I have watched this video already 8 times lol!

[ImACelineDionFan]

 

So, I made this about four years ago for an beginner graphic design class (where I also made my signature)... Pretty sure they stole the idea for this video from my picture :laugh:

[DionFanAlways]

At 1:14ish Celine probably says, 'hey I can do that!' or used to be able to do that! Edited June 4, 2014 at 08:12 PM by DionFanAlways

[smw]

The video looks great!!!

Instead of nitpicking, let's spend our time and energy getting the video out there! Perez Hilton just posted a great article about the video on his site!

Let's spread the word, people!

Yep call your lawyers!

[browseceline]

Yeah, I just watched the full video too on this site: goodmorningamerica.com Not to be labeled negative but I was unimpressed. Won't ever watch it again. Random people dancing, playing the piano, a giraffe walking on the street for no apparent reason - LOL For everyone who wanted to have a music video from this album, I'm happy for you - you got it! It's just not my cup of tea. I'd rather just listen to the song.

 

Amen! Reminds of the miracle video which had too much nonsense shots in it as well. Yes i know we should be grateful. But i am not impressed at all. This video will certainly not help to make this song succesful. Halfway i stopped watching. It is again so many random shots in it. Not so much celine.

[QueenCeline87]

Another article about it!! It's making a bit of a buzz ....as in the media is reporting about it!
