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


Recommended Posts

Posted
As this is an "Incredible" thread, I'll keep this brief. IF Celine were to make another appearance on "The Voice," the song she should sing is either "Somebody Loves Somebody" or "Save Your Soul." "The Voice" has the type of audience which would appeal to those songs better than something like "Water And A Flame" or "Breakaway." That's my opinion, anyway.

Promotional singles too are sent to radio stations to arouse attention and -for example- make it to the airplay chart.

Then you look at me was cancelled, that too was a decision made by (or in accordance with) the record label company. Hence another example of a sad bad strategic decision imo.

 

It wasn't sad strategy. TYLAM single was cancelled due to the fact that the movie didn't do as well as expected. It has nothing to do with Sony making a bad decision.

No, I don't agree. It was their decision to cancel that single (that btw was released in South-America, since an actual physical cd single was released). There's no strict causality between the success of a movie and the success of its soundtrack/main theme. Rather the single should have been pushed back then to promote the movie.

That was a promo release, not a commercial release. Completely different things.

 

 

 

Unfortunately the Bicentennial Man movie, released on December 13, 1999 and starring Robin Williams, became a flop and the single was cancelled. The second reason was the fact that "That's the Way It Is" became a hit and was still strong on the singles charts around the world.

There you have it - Sony IS pro-active in Celine's career. They are pushing 'Incredible' to radio (HAC only but it's something) just like they did with LMBTL (AC radio).

 

But the question now is Will radio play it? I think we all know the answer to that question and not get our hopes up and think it will make a significant impact. At best it will mirror LMBTL and be a minor AC hit. It'll be difficult to get cross over success and fail to chart on the Hot 100.

 

From the start of the LMBTL I knew she'd have difficulty with her singles as she's at that stage and age in her career where radio would not support her. I think it's safe now to say goodbye to hearing her current songs on the radio. Shame is what it is.....

Interesting, however, it was released as a single. So the key point is: the single had no impact, despite the video, despite the earlier mentioned release.

She can appear on some TV shows again. A couple of TV appearance can make a big impact.

& what really sucks is, like you said, that celines songs no longer get played on the radio here in the usa, & im not talking about top 40 stations since i know they wont dare touch a celine dion song unless she decides to go into hip-hop sad to say since that is what is mostly played on top 40 for the past several years, top 40 here in the usa plays 95% hip-hop w/ some r&b & a little bit of rock & alternative thrown in lol... & as we all know already, celine hasnt had a song on top 40 radio here in the usa in yearsssss, since i believe "thats the way it is" was around back in '99 was the last hit, which is 15 years ago (wow i cant believe that the 90s ended 15 years ago thats crazy lol, geez i feel like an old lady now lol, back when i was a teenager, ahhh the good old days)... IM TALKING ABOUT THE ADULT CONTEMPORARY STATIONS, THE AC STATIONS HERE IN THE USA DONT PLAY HER SONGS, AT LEAST THE ONES IN MY AREA, & THEY DONT EVEN PLAY HER OLD SONGS EITHER WHICH IS REALLY WEIRD SINCE YEARS AGO THEY USED TO PLAY ALL HER HITS FROM THE 90S & EARLY 2000S!!!!!!!!! the last time i have heard a celine song on any of my local radio stations was back in the mid 2000s which was several years ago & its such a shame that her music doesnt get playd at all on adult contemporary, especially since they do still play older songs on those stations, they play popular songs from the 2000s as well as the 90s, 80s, & all the way back to the 70s & 60s!!!!!!!!! they play all kinds of pop & soft rock music, from many other singers & bands from teh past 50 years so i dont know why they are all soooo against celine these days!!!!!!!!!!! i wonder whose bright idea was it to get celines music banned from all radio stations in the usa, whoever did that should b smacked in the head & not be allowed to work in the radio & music industry from this point on & the ban of celines music on the radio in the usa & wherever else in the world that she might be banned at the moment SHOULD B LIFTED SO THAT HER SONGS CAN BE HEARD ON THE RADIO AGAIN, SINCE I WOULD RATHER HEARD CELINES SONGS ON THE RADIO THESE DAYS INSTEAD OF THE CONSTANT STREAM OF Nonstop RAP & HIP-HOP THAT IS ON THE RADIO 24/7!!!!!!!!!! (no offense for those of you who are into rap & hip-hop, im not trying to be mean or anything... now i do like some hip-hop but in small doses & w/ some r&b mixed into it, & I CANT STAND HARDCORE RAP & TECHNO MUSIC, ITS NOT MY CUP OF TEA, JUST LIKE I ALSO CANT STAND HEAVY METAL & HARDCORE PUNK STUFF EITHER, IM NOT INTO THAT REAL HARDCORE MUSIC, IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE IF I LISTEN TO THOSE TYPES OF MUSIC TOO LONG, ITS NOT MY CUP OF TEA... AGAIN NO OFFENSE TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FANS OF RAP, TECHNO, METAL, & PUNK ROCK, I HANDLE THOSE TYPES OF MUSIC TOO MUCH, now i do like most other types of rock music & other music, i like pop music, hard rock, soft rock, classic rock, modern rock, classic r&b, modern r&b, some dance & hip-hop music, country music, christian & holiday music, & some musicals & movie soundtrack music)...

but im afraid that if celine doesnt have one hit song from her latest album, that sony might decide to break her contract & drop her off their rouster, i mean virgin records did that to mariah & sorry to say she has had more popularity in recent years than celine has had (even tho i think the quality of mariahs music has gone down w/ a few exceptions & celines music is for the most part still pretty good minus a few songs here & there that i dont like of hers i dont like either, but anyway)... if one record label like virgin records can do that to a very popular singer like mariah who has been around for over 2 decades (cuz mariahs album "glitter" didnt do so well, then she ended up having a breakdown & all that after her record dumped her), whats not to say that sony wont try to do that to celine since there has been alot of flops in her career in recent years too just like mariah has in her career as well, i have seen that post that someone on this forum had made the other day listing all of celines songs that she has releasd in the past 15 years that all flopped here in the usa & THAT LIST HAS ALMOST EVERY SONG THAT SHE RELEASED IN THE PAST 15 YEARS, THE ONLY SONGS OF CELINES THAT ARENT ON THAT LIST ARE "A NEW DAY HAS COME", "IM ALIVE", "I DROVE ALL NIGHT", "HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE", & "TAKING CHANCES", 5 SONGS OUT OF, WHAT, 30-SOMETHING SONGS THAT ARE ON THAT LIST?????? YEP THAT WAS A REALLY SAD POST FOR ME TO READ, I DIDNT REALIZE THAT SHE HAD SO MANY FLOPS, WHICH WE ALL KNOW THAT WASNT HOW HER CAREER WAS 15, 20 YEARS AGO, HOW REALLY, VERY SAD, ITS SUCH A SHAME, BUT ANYWAY...) & plus the articles & comments on here about celines show in vegas not doing so well either, about ppl not going to her shows like they used to, is really sad & scary to see & it shows that im afraid her career might be ending right before our eyes... :down: :down: :cry: :cry:

 

 

but i reeeeeeeeeeeally very much hope that it wont happen anytime soon since shes still young enough to make music & be successfull (since cher, elton, barbra, madonna, billy joel, rod stewart, aerosmith, & u2 are all still performing & making albums as well & they are all older & have been around longer than celine has, so if they could do it she can still do it too, cuz i do hope to see her in concert someday, even if i cant afford to go to vegas i would hopefully like to see her live in concert somewhere someday since i have never gotten to see her in concert yet... & i do hope that every couple of years she can still record new albums as well, i just hope that she doesnt get dropped from her record label or stops performing altogether cuz she does still have alot to offer & it would be a real shame for the future generation to not be able to hear & see such a great & talented singer & be stuck w/ just listening to miley & justin beiber all the time, which is unfortunately what the current generation is stuck w/ at the moment lol... :wtf: :wtf: :blink: :blink:

Interesting, however, it was released as a single. So the key point is: the single had no impact, despite the video, despite the earlier mentioned release.

 

The single had no impact because it wasn't given the chance to. It's official release was cancelled due to the lackluster success of "Bicentennial Man." The video never played on television in the states, not once. I'm pretty sure it's the same for every other major market as well.

Well, the best thing to do is probably to lean back, to get used to the idea that we have to wait another 4 to 6 years for a new French album.

Then in 8 years we'll get a new English album and if Rene is still around she then might really embark on another world tour.

Till then, that's probably it...

He is telling you the single was not even released. It doesn't count as flop. A site mentioned they considered releasing Us, Amar Haciendo El Amor AND Where Is The Love as local promotional singles during the LTAL era but none of this happened. Based on your logic we should consider them to be flop singles. I agree with 98% of your list and I admire your effort but I don't think TYLAT and IWCT were singles, let alone flop ones. They were cancelled and IMO this sucks cause both IWCT and TYLAT seem better and more memorable choices than IWTNM, TFTEIYF and LFTOIL that were given a chance... And flopped. :D

First of all, so called promotional singles do have impact from time to time. First example that comes to my mind: Mariah Carey's Butterfly.

 

TYLAM was sent to some radio stations. I remember in the Netherlands it was on the radio (radio 2 for who's concerned with it).

It was even specifically reviewed by critics, considered as single, though - like I said - not endorsed by the record company, hence a flop. Like the Norwegian ice skaters last week on the 10 kilometers. They withdrew, therefore lost.

TYLAM is not just another album track. It was heavily produced; two distinct edits by the MHWGO team as all of you know obviously. Besides, that video clip is not just promotional.

I am not following what CelinesDIVO5 said about the single being promotional and not a commercial release. What I think is that the song was not released AT ALL. :P I have to ask, how do we know the song was sent to radios? Maybe radios played it here and there because Celine was at the peak of her career. 'Just Walk Away' was played in Greece during the 90s and it's a well-known song but it was never released as a single. Radios picked it up out of nowhere to the point that it became more popular here than 'Think Twice', for instance. As for the video clip argument, I remind you that IWCT and ATW had their respective music videos without being singles.

Sweetheart, that's not being negative, that's just being realistic...

Celine has been recording music since 1981 and there has never been a 6 years gap between her French albums nor an 8 years gap between her English releases. Your comment is not based on facts, therefore you're not being realistic. Edited by LukeD

Well... There's quite a distance between the certainty of 'definitely' and the randomness of 'some countries'...

It didn't have a chance to perform to be a flop is what I'm saying. It didn't chart even under the top 200. There was no life given to this song in order for it to flop.

Boo bear, it was released as a promo single, at least in Chile. But it says right on it, only as a promo single. I don't think it was sold in stores though.

Matthew Charles - "Fix You" - Live at The Stonewall Inn

Stonewall Sensation - Season 15

Originally written and performed by Coldplay

It didn't have a chance to perform to be a flop is what I'm saying. It didn't chart even under the top 200. There was no life given to this song in order for it to flop.

Boo! Then garcon is right. A promotional single CAN be a Flop single. :D I never knew this song was released. Edited by LukeD

Are we talking about 'Incredible'.....soooooo anyways, Hopefully we will get to see this video soon?

Who knows? Ever since PAMP was shot in July and premiered in September everything seems possible. :pinch:

Not that I foresee this even coming close to happening, but I did just notice something on Celine's itinerary. She is NOT performing tomorrow in Las Vegas. So, technically, after finishing tonight's show, she COULD, in theory, go to a studio somewhere nearby afterwards. Then, meet with Ne-Yo, and do "Incredible" live via satellite for the Closing Ceremonies which would be starting live in Sochi at 8:00AM West Coast time. The possibility of this happening is the slimmest of any ludicrous predicting I've ever made, but it IS doable!

......because she has infiltrated your brain (at least she has mine :) )

I don't get why/how they do/did the things they do and still be so successful, that's her charm I guess.

Hang in there........... even more :giggle:
