Xpresso Posted January 6, 2014 at 11:11 AM Posted January 6, 2014 at 11:11 AM Almost forgot... yes there are many women with 3 children who balance work and personal life. But let me remind some of you (who think that Celine doesn't do enough or that Vegas is evil ) that very few of those women are married to a 70-year old man and are incredibly rich. Most of these women would probably just stay home with their children if they had the same money... So let's be happy with what we get. On another note, I find it interesting that members should not personally attack other forum members (makes senses), but when a member makes a personal attack against Celine he/she doesn't get a warning and it's considered okay????? 2 Quote
Javito Posted January 6, 2014 at 12:14 PM Posted January 6, 2014 at 12:14 PM (edited) I think it is much more simply that all of that things.... There is only one reason why Celine doesn't make a music video for this album... very simple... BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT.... It's not because she is a busy mother (of course she isn't) it's not because Sony doesn't want to invest money in a music video (of course they have enough money for one, or two or three music videos for Celine) It is as simple as lack of interest in doing it... and it can be wrong or good... (for me totally wrong) but if they only think in a music video as Celine mimic with diva posses... well.. it is good they didn't make anything... if they are not going to use the music videos as a minimun of artistic expression...This album has been a good success and it could have had at least two music videos but they didn't want to do it... and it is obvious that some fans gets pissed off.... "now come to me in an interview and tell me you want to be an actress... yes... of course...." and you are not able to act in a single video....But this is about music and even they have been almost 4 years recording this simple 14 tracks album, at the end it is a good album and we have seen a lot of tv performances... including DKL and BA... This is what Celine probably wants... Tv performances with being mother interviews... if we want to be fans of Celine.. this is what we should get used to...If I want to see music videos artistics experiences I go to youtube and look for Lana del Rey, Gaga, Beyoncé, Woodkid, Alt-J and a very long etc... Aaaaamen donpi! And straight to the point. I 101% agree with your post. If videoclips for LMBTL and Incredible didn't happen, its because either Celine, or Sony, or both of them together JUST DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN. It's not a problem of money, obviously. And that "she didn't want it to happen" to me can be translated also into this: No music videos + the "I don't care about my albums, only performing in concerts" attitude = Absolute lack of artistic ambition in her career today. Seems like she only wants to sing her songs one after the other on a stage and go home. Nothing else. But sorry, that's not what an album is released for, in all honesty. From this perspective, its no wonder why she took 6 years since Taking Chances to release new material. About the acting thing, I couldn't agree more when you connect videoclips with acting. Each time she has had the chance to shoot a videoclip, it was a chance for her to do some acting. Okay, so she wants to be an actress someday. Well, according to the lack of videos she does for her singles today and the minimum effort she does when we get one, or when she performs in TV when she barely moves away behind the microphone, I don't know what to believe. She doesn't look like exactly like "crazy" for acting! Edited January 6, 2014 at 12:15 PM by Javito 1 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"
Lu CelineFan Posted January 6, 2014 at 12:18 PM Posted January 6, 2014 at 12:18 PM Yes, I am also gonna go. There's a big irony lying in the fact that we were a couple days ago saying Happy New Year and wishing the best to all and to the singer, and now the drama and disrespect ensues again, not to mention the bad intentions. After calling people ugly, dumb, ridiculous, delusional, etcetera in a public place, look at the mirror. Do you like what you see? It's easy to sit behind a computer and spew all those things. I wonder if you're man or woman enough to tell them straight into the person's eyes. Or at least you can do as Matt: man up and apologize. That's really amazing. But this fight and arguing about something that has been debated a million times and never leads to anywhere is tiring, and when people are hurt in the middle it is totally unwanted and unacceptable. And this is one of the reasons why I stopped my forum donations and participation five years ago. I was not the only one... Take care y'all!

Jeff Abbott Posted January 6, 2014 at 01:11 PM Posted January 6, 2014 at 01:11 PM There aren't that many albums nowadays with a very long life. Sony is a company looking to make money. So they invest the least amount of money hoping for a good profit... That's what they are doing with Celine's album.And Celine is NOT the person who decides if there is a video or not for a new single. If Sony decides to invest money in a music video, don't worry Celine will be there. finally somebody said it out loud, agreed 100% 2 Quote

From this perspective, its no wonder why she took 6 years since Taking Chances to release new material. The art of manipulation. Let's count your lies/attempts to manipulate situations and statements. 1.Celine has never said she does not care about her albums. Truth is she has said she does not care about how much an album will sell which is another, entirely different thing. 2. Celine does not only care about performing in concerts. She has clearly stated she could just sing in concerts since this is what she likes the most, but she honestly felt like making an album. 3. It is baseless to say 'she wants to sing her songs and go home' when she just ended the huge promotion for her latest album. How many singers went to Canada, USA, France and UK while pulling off concerts? Rhetorical question. 4.Worst attempt to manipulate things is your very last phrase where you imply that she took 6 years to record an album because she didn't care, while in facts the woman was in a world tour for over a year till 2009 and then faced several miscarriages while she tried to stay pregnant. And you have the nerve to represent one of the darkest periods of her life as an era where Celine just didn't care. WOW. Edited January 6, 2014 at 01:18 PM by LukeD 7 Quote

However, its you who tried to manipulate my post with your point #4 introducing the miscarriage thing Like I said, I've explained long enough my point of view about her career and how I believe she places her recording career in the last place in the list of priorities of her professional career (not the list of priorities in her life, in a broad sense). I never dared to mess in how she manages her private life, but I did give my opinion about the limited time she dedicates to her professional career today, which is why I care about, and like most of the fans, that's why we are here. And because its a limited time, I think she and Sony could do much better things with it, if it wasn't for Vegas and the crazy amout of time she's spending in the Colosseum at Caesars Palace since 2003, a time she can't spend in making other things for her albums and her evolution as an artist.

Popular Post Alex_Incognito Posted January 6, 2014 at 02:28 PM Popular Post Posted January 6, 2014 at 02:28 PM (edited) Wow, I wake up and here I am on my vacation to Chicago. It's -41 C (-42 F)with the windchill (colder than Siberia!) and there's 30cm (12in) of snow on the ground. Then I come here. A place where we're supposed to have fun and there's even more sh!it on the ground than here in Chicago! It's time for a Celine forum revolution. Clearly the fans can no longer live in harmony. This isn't the first time, but this is the first time that the negativity has been so thick. Long time members leaving because others are allowed to spew BS with simple warnings? What has happened to the moderation here? It's been a problem for a long time. We're wrapping up the lovely promotion of the LMBTL album. This was a memorable time for me. I got to see her in Paris and I think she's released the best English album she's done in many, many years. But I don't come here to read the hatred before coming up with my opinion. So many of your get caught up in the negativity. I remember going back to my hotel in Paris and reading reviews of how Celine sucked when these people hadn't even been to her show. Nothing could have been further than the truth. Some of us have been here for over 10 years. It breaks my heart to see these people go because of senseless posts. With these great members leaving, that leaves more room for the negative ones. Pretty soon this will be the "Vegas killed Celine, but boy ANDHC was great" forum. Oy. Edit: Furthermore, isn't this supposed to be "fun"? Life can really suck, but I consider my fandom for Celine a positive part of my life. She is not my life, by any means. But she sure does make things better. I'm grateful she's still performing and still giving us quality music.

Also, it is not the first time you complain about her so-called '6 years absence' (as if she was sitting on her couch eating Lays) totally disregarding her work, album releases and personal struggles. Yes, 6 years of absence without new material in radios. Because in some countries, she didn't toured with the TCWT and even if she released a live album in 2010, it's not the same to release a live album with no new songs than a studio album with a lead single that has the chance (supposedly) to be promoted on radios. So technically from Taking Chances (2007) until Loved Me Back To Life (2013) she's been away from the international music industry. Not in vain every media has been promoting the new album as "her first album in six years", because new recordings are still what differentiates a singer who is active in this business than another one who is not (or much less), want it or not. That's why I've always defended the need of Céline to keep releasing new music (the more, the better), because that's what everyone will enjoy at the same time because its a product that its available for everyone at the same time (unlike her Vegas concerts or tours) If you realize, nobody has announced a single time during the LMBTL promotion that she released a live CD/DVD and a movie about her tour in 2010 People want new music to consider that an artist has offered something new, for real, and she didn't for 6 years, that's the truth. That said, I think I'm gonna repeat this like a scratched record again, but when I say that she spent 6 years without releasing anything, I'm not blaming her for that, and I've explained my point about this a gazillion times: I'm blaming SONY MUSIC, her record label, for not releasing anything new during all those years, call it a new single, an album with unreleased songs, a "The Collector's Series Vol. 2" with a new single and promote it a little here and there sending it to radios or whatever. They did nothing, despite the fact that they have tons of material under lock and key. That's neglecting her international career for 6 years, because other singer that has been releasing one new album every couple of years, would have tell his/her record label to move their #ss and put something out to keep her massive fanbase awake while she felt ready to release a full new album. But Céline didn't. Despite she had the material ready from past years and past recording sessions. So yes, in that way I openly say that in those 6 years "Celine didn't take enough care of her career", at least her career outside Vegas. And "Celine" means also the big TEAM of people who is behind her, supposedly to support and take this kind of decissions when she's resting and enjoying her family life too I'm not an idiot, I already learnt by heart that Celine Dion has and never will personally take professional decissions like "I'm gonna record an album now because I feel the record label needs one", but then there's a large team of people around her who supposedly are there to say "hey, a new english album is taking more time than expected, we should release something new in the meantime". But that team rested in their laurels at least for 3 years, between 2010 and 2013, in which Celine was completely away from the international scene and they should have released something precisely to make these tough days of LMBT acceptance/struggling easier for the people and the media, because the more time that passed since 2010 until the new english album arrived, the HARDER would be to reach the audiences again. And to prove this, here we have the current situation with radios that don't want to play her music because she's regarded as a has been, or "old". You're watching the result of that 6 year absence in real time, Luke, in Greece, like i'm watching it in Spain, like fans in the US... and so on. Six years is a lifetime for a singer to be forgotten in people's minds, and for radio DJ's to put you down when not long ago they put you in the top of the tops. That's how this industry works, unfortunately. You can't get distracted much time, or people will forget about you soon. Something which could have been easily avoided if her team had done their job during that time . Sorry but I can't explain myself better, but I'm sure there are members who still get what I say without complicating matters. Like I said, "a word to the wise is enough", but you want to take out of proportion everything I say .

Xpresso Posted January 6, 2014 at 05:33 PM Posted January 6, 2014 at 05:33 PM Here's my wish for 2014 - I don't want to read in every thread that Céline is lazy about recording new music, that she took 6 years to record a new album or that Vegas is killing her career. Come on, Céline is not that puppet that used to say yes to everything at a time when she was still building her career. Now she has reached a well deserved legend status and she has learned to say no. By the time you reach your 40's (and sometimes earlier) you realize that your job and your career is not everything in this world. Céline is smart and has managed to have a fulfilled personal life while still doing what she loves: concerts!!! So I wish everyone to follow in Céline's footsteps and find the balance they deserve and enjoy what life (and Céline ) have to offer. Céline is not the type of person who criticizes people, and it would be great to see this reflected on a forum about her. Peace. 7 Quote

chocolatechip15 Posted January 6, 2014 at 06:08 PM Posted January 6, 2014 at 06:08 PM i'm very sad that good people have decided to leave, I hope you will both reconsider this decision. Your presence will be missed greatly. For the moment, i think that a moment of reflexion is necessary, before posting commentaries that could be hurtful . I don't want to read one more time that Celine is lazy, that she doesn't care, it isn't true. The nineties are over, accept it, I agree 1000% with everything quebecflower said. I enjoy a little healthy debate about my favorite topic - Celine! - but my posts are usually defending her & I know I've tried to be respectful & never attack anyone. But if my posts offended anyone, then I sincerely apologize. Luis & Matthew - I hope you reconsider your decisions. As quebecflower wrote, you will be greatly missed. 5 Quote

CelinesDIVO5 Posted January 6, 2014 at 06:45 PM Posted January 6, 2014 at 06:45 PM Yes, 6 years of absence without new material in radios. Because in some countries, she didn't toured with the TCWT and even if she released a live album in 2010, it's not the same to release a live album with no new songs than a studio album with a lead single that has the chance (supposedly) to be promoted on radios. So technically from Taking Chances (2007) until Loved Me Back To Life (2013) she's been away from the international music industry. Not in vain every media has been promoting the new album as "her first album in six years", because new recordings are still what differentiates a singer who is active in this business than another one who is not (or much less), want it or not. That's why I've always defended the need of Céline to keep releasing new music (the more, the better), because that's what everyone will enjoy at the same time because its a product that its available for everyone at the same time (unlike her Vegas concerts or tours) If you realize, nobody has announced a single time during the LMBTL promotion that she released a live CD/DVD and a movie about her tour in 2010 People want new music to consider that an artist has offered something new, for real, and she didn't for 6 years, that's the truth. That said, I think I'm gonna repeat this like a scratched record again, but when I say that she spent 6 years without releasing anything, I'm not blaming her for that, and I've explained my point about this a gazillion times: I'm blaming SONY MUSIC, her record label, for not releasing anything new during all those years, call it a new single, an album with unreleased songs, a "The Collector's Series Vol. 2" with a new single and promote it a little here and there sending it to radios or whatever. They did nothing, despite the fact that they have tons of material under lock and key. That's neglecting her international career for 6 years, because other singer that has been releasing one new album every couple of years, would have tell his/her record label to move their #ss and put something out to keep her massive fanbase awake while she felt ready to release a full new album. But Céline didn't. Despite she had the material ready from past years and past recording sessions. So yes, in that way I openly say that in those 6 years "Celine didn't take enough care of her career", at least her career outside Vegas. And "Celine" means also the big TEAM of people who is behind her, supposedly to support and take this kind of decissions when she's resting and enjoying her family life too I'm not an idiot, I already learnt by heart that Celine Dion has and never will personally take professional decissions like "I'm gonna record an album now because I feel the record label needs one", but then there's a large team of people around her who supposedly are there to say "hey, a new english album is taking more time than expected, we should release something new in the meantime". But that team rested in their laurels at least for 3 years, between 2010 and 2013, in which Celine was completely away from the international scene and they should have released something precisely to make these tough days of LMBT acceptance/struggling easier for the people and the media, because the more time that passed since 2010 until the new english album arrived, the HARDER would be to reach the audiences again. And to prove this, here we have the current situation with radios that don't want to play her music because she's regarded as a has been, or "old". You're watching the result of that 6 year absence in real time, Luke, in Greece, like i'm watching it in Spain, like fans in the US... and so on. Six years is a lifetime for a singer to be forgotten in people's minds, and for radio DJ's to put you down when not long ago they put you in the top of the tops. That's how this industry works, unfortunately. You can't get distracted much time, or people will forget about you soon. Something which could have been easily avoided if her team had done their job during that time . Sorry but I can't explain myself better, but I'm sure there are members who still get what I say without complicating matters. Like I said, "a word to the wise is enough", but you want to take out of proportion everything I say . Now bullying ...and what's next? Omg... Luke I didn't know you liked to exaggerate and make a snow ball out of nothing... You keep saying that "in her 6 year absence" they should have released unreleased material. It's unreleased for a reason. Record companies don't hoard rejected album tracks to create new albums with. It's simply part of the inventory. Plus, since she was "absent" from her career, she wouldn't be promoting such a release, and it wouldn't do well. But then again, you would complain about that as well. And for the record, I apologized for what I said in a earlier post. However, as usual you decide to ignore what you don't want to accept as the truth. Instead you use it against me. And you were clearly instigating me without using my name because you quoted my words. But you will get away with that because you didn't use my name. You need to wake up and realize that you missed Celine's glory days and they aren't coming back. No matter how many times you post on here, and no matter how many times you manipulate your own words to argue someone else's opinion so that you can have the last word so that you can be the one that's "right" will not bring Celine Dion back to the top 40. I can't believe that I took the time to personally apologize to you because I thought maybe I was just being a little rough on the opinion of a passionate fan. I can see now that I blindsided myself into thinking so. 1 Quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL54qnRGM2gMatthew Charles - "Fix You" - Live at The Stonewall InnStonewall Sensation - Season 15Originally written and performed by Coldplay
c4n4d4 Posted January 6, 2014 at 07:02 PM Posted January 6, 2014 at 07:02 PM Someone brought up a good point about how during the 6 years between English albums that Celine had experienced several miscarriages (I believe it was Luke). And while I myself have never experienced that or have a child I have witnessed my two sisters both go through misscarriages and still births and let me tell you it destroyed them. They were broken and depressed and didn't want to do anything for quite some time. I'm not claiming to know what Celine went through during her struggle to have the twins or that all women who experience misscarriages and stillbirths feel the same but to watch my one sister who wanted a child so desperately receive news that she was pregnant and then get past the "danger" period of the 1st trimester only to lose the baby in the 2nd trimester was horrifying and heart wrenching to see the emotional and mental turmoil she went through. The reason I am posting this is to simply say to expect Celine to carry on with her very much public career during that struggle is crazy. 4 Quote http://24.media.tumblr.com/5fc8ed1dcd8690c2a8e2cad08629e4ba/tumblr_mrwbegFInv1rothmmo1_500.jpgJanuary 5, 2013 -- Las Vegas August 18, 2013 -- Las Vegas
