Popular Post LukeD Posted February 26, 2014 at 05:21 PM Popular Post Posted February 26, 2014 at 05:21 PM Since when is loved me back to life a flop ?? Maybe in the US...but she has still sold over 1.3 million , in today's market that isn't really a flop!!And I really don't see Sony dropping her anytime soon! We just got an album and some are saying we might never get another one? Come on this isn't the 90s anymore , over time Celine is going to wind her career down and probably eventually retire which she is more than entitled to do! She has worked since she was 12!Rant over ...just sometimes I see posts and they baffle me!! LMBTL sold over 1.4m, almost 1.5m actually and this is the main reason why I don't understand the negativity of certain posts. We are not dealing with a flop album, it's a decent seller who underperformed in some markets. I also find quite unfair towards Celine the attitude some fans display that it will take her many years to release a new album... It is as if they totally neglect the neck-cracking pace in which Celine was releasing albums for 3 decades. I still can't find ONE popular singer/performer who released 8 studio albums in the 80s + 9 studio albums in the 90s + 6 studio albums in the 00s... No one. To think she lacks interest is totally exaggerated and unfair IMO. 15 Quote

Popular Post CelinesDIVO5 Posted February 26, 2014 at 05:45 PM Popular Post Posted February 26, 2014 at 05:45 PM (edited) wow.. reading your post I saw the apocalypse... I don't know how it works in US with the radios and much important they are.... but for me is funny this obsessions with radio plays because it seems not to be important as a media anymore... with people having their own online players and mp3, and having all the smartphones with all the music you want inside...etc....BUt the thing for me is that you are so worry with the forced retirement of Celine from music business because she is not on the radios, and because LMBTL was a "flop", something that I don't understand because I think someone post in the sales topic that LMBTL was on the top 50 or something like that of the most selling albums of 2013... so I think you can't call that a flop in the actual business situation, and I remember that when the album was released it comes number 1 in the most important Itunes Stores, and thats much more of the 90% of the album releases can say. Celine Dion is not "HOT" anymore and probably never again unless some kind of hipster makes a remix or collaboration and she is "famous" again because a cooler says she is cool.... but that is something improbable... And at the end I think even Celine is not interested too... Celine is not "HOT" but I think she is in a better positition... she is in a legend status with a assured fanbase that makes her eternally profitable to Sony.... Celine keeps doing a lot of things every year, she has never dissapear in her whole career, with soundtracks, duets, albums, photoshoots, documentaries, special shows...And finally, in the darkest situation.... being fired by Sony.... maybe that's the best news ever... Celine producing for the very first time her own album if she wants.. (because I don't think that it would be a problem with money...) and yes... maybe it would be harder for her to be in the main tv shows and all that promo, Maybe it would be harder to dress like a Diva with the best brands, maybe she could not have an Hologram singing a duet with herself, maybe she wouldn't have big mansions in Florida and Quebeq or wherever, maybe... but you would buy that CD, and I, and the whole fanbase... and that's my friend a lot of $$$$$ to keep living easy for the rest of her life and RC life (not talking about the royalties of the 90's hits)...So please... don't see the future this dark... Celine and the fans will be fine forever... in one level or another... but happy because of the music... (or are we interested only in fame and buzz???) I really don't think Celine shows lack of interest in recording albums. Like Luke said, within those 6 years, she toured, and had a traumatic time trying to conceive again. She literally only took 3 and a half, maybe 4 months after having the twins before she hit the stage again in Vegas. Sony would never fire Celine by the way, just putting that out there. She's been their biggest money maker for YEARS. However, should she decide to leave Sony, any other record label would be offering her HUGE money to come to them. She'd still be a hot commodity for any record label to have. Her name alone is worth millions. Should she even decide to go independent, she has plenty of money both to keep her family happy and healthy, and to do huge things with her career, albums, shows etc. Edited February 26, 2014 at 05:45 PM by CelinesDIVO5 8 Quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL54qnRGM2gMatthew Charles - "Fix You" - Live at The Stonewall InnStonewall Sensation - Season 15Originally written and performed by Coldplay
CelinesDIVO5 Posted February 26, 2014 at 05:59 PM Posted February 26, 2014 at 05:59 PM so you are saying that THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE AT ALL FOR CELINE TO EVER BE PLAYED ON ADULT CONTEMPORARY RADIO EVER AGAIN OR EVEN HAVE A HIT SONG EVER AGAIN???????? CUZ SHE DESERVES TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE MORE HIT IN HER CAREER (EVEN IF ITS NOT A #1 HIT BUT AT LEAST SHOW UP ON THE CHARTS, WHICH CELINE HASNT HAD ONE SINGLE SONG HIT ANY CHARTS, EVEN THE A.C. CHARTS, IN MANY YEARS NOW)... :( now as far as adult contemporary radio goes, most of them do still do play more of a variety of music than top 40 does, at least the a.c. stations in my area do, (and last night one of those stations played celines hit "because you loved me", which is now an 18-year-old song btw), and while yes, my local a.c. stations do play some modern pop, r&b, and rock songs, (BUT THEY NEVER PLAY RAP/HIPHOP, TECHNO STUFF, AND HEAVY METAL MUSIC, THANK GOODNESS SINCE THOSE ARENT MY FAVE TYPES OF MUSIC TO LISTEN TO, NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE HERE)... but the a.c. stations in my area still DO PLAY OLDER SONGS FROM THE PAST, NOT JUST CURRENT STUFF, THEY ARE STILL PLAYING POP, R&B, AND ROCK SONGS FROM THE 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, AND THE PREVIOUS 2000s DECADE, THEY PLAY SONGS BY REO SPEEDWAGON, JOURNEY, STEVIE WONDER, THE EAGLES, ELTON, ROD, CHER, WHITNEY, LUTHER VANDROSS, THE BEACH BOYS, PHIL COLLINS, BILLY JOEL, THE TEMPTATIONS, PAUL MCCARTNEY, U2, CYNDI LAUPER, MADONNA, FOREIGNER, AEROSMITH, MICHAEL JACKSON, AND SO MUCH MORE, THOSE ARE JUST EXAMPLES... i mean if all of those singers and bands can still be allowed to be played on the adult contemporary stations these days, even though most of them arent releasing new music anytime soon, or in some cases if ever, cuz either those singers and bands are now retired from the music business altogether, or sadly some are no longer on this earth with us... AND THERE SHOULDNT BE ANY EXCUSES FOR THE A.C. STATIONS TO NOT EVER PLAY CELINES MUSIC CUZ SHES NOW IN HER 40s, THAT IS TOTAL BULL**** (PLEASE EXCUSE MY BAD LANGUAGE, SORRY), CUZ THE MAJORITY OF THE SINGERS AND BAND MEMBERS WHO I JUST MENTIONED ABOVE EARLIER ARE IN THEIR 50s AND 60s NOW, AND ALL OF THEM ARE NOW OLDER THAN CELINE CURRENTLY IS, AND SOME HAVE BEEN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY MUCH LONGER THAN CELINE HAS, SO IF THEY CAN STILL BE PLAYED ON A.C. RADIO, SO CAN CELINE!!!!!!!! CUZ LIKE CELINE HERSELF SAYS, AGE IS NOTHING BUT A FRICKIN NUMBER!!!!!!!! IT IS WHATS TRULY INSIDE A PERSON AND WHAT THEY CAN BRING TO THE TABLE THAT MATTERS!!!!!!!! AND CELINE CAN STILL ALOT OF TALENT AND CHARISMA TO THE TABLE, BETTER THAN MOST CURRENT SINGERS CAN!!!!!!!! so i just dont understand what a.c. radio have against celine these days, when they still play her contemporaries and and others who are even older than she is!!!!!!!! im gonna make a petition sometime this week to get celine back on a.c. radio, cuz even if top 40 wont have anything to do with her music now, (since lets face it, shes not "upbeat or hiphop" enough for any top 40 stations these days), her wonderful music should still be played on all of the a.c. stations where she should forever belong no matter how old she is!!!!!!!! :) I didn't say there's no hope, I'm just saying it's really not probable that Celine will have a hit song again. People's tastes in music have changed. We have the occasional AC station still playing some older AC hits, but for the most part they take the rollover from the top 40 stations that may have some sort of "Adult Contemporary sound." I'm not saying that they'll play rap and hip hop...but they will play Katy Perry, the occasional Miley Cyrus (The Climb, Wrecking Ball), Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Jason DeRulo, Pink, Justin Timberlake, One Republic etc. They'll take any top 40 that will relate to what their format once was, but they're still taking the roll over top 40 that wasn't released initially as Adult Contemporary material. This is because nobody is really listening to Adult Contemporary radio anymore. They had to re-format and become more "in" with what they were playing. This way, people can switch back and forth to hearing the brand new music on Top 40, while the more modern songs they still love (and haven't gotten sick of yet) are overflowing to AC radio. When I was growing up, Adult Contemporary was it's own format. There was music that was intentionally geared towards a specific audience that was listening to AC radio. Celine Dion, Michael Bolton...and in my teen years people like Uncle Kracker, Marc Anthony were coming up as AC artists. The only modern singer I can think of right now that's a true AC artist still being geared toward that audience is Michael Buble. But, the reality is over the last 10 years, AC radio has changed their format and they now take top 40 songs with "an Adult Contemporary sound" for their playlists. There really is no such thing as the AC genre anymore. 2 Quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL54qnRGM2gMatthew Charles - "Fix You" - Live at The Stonewall InnStonewall Sensation - Season 15Originally written and performed by Coldplay

Popular Post dj4celine Posted February 26, 2014 at 08:42 PM Popular Post Posted February 26, 2014 at 08:42 PM I think what he meant is that Sony is still releasing singles from the album. Once they're in a radio DJ's hands, it's all on the radio stations to play it. A record label can only do so much to push a radio station to play a song, but at the end of the day, it's at the DJ's discretion. I used to work at WBLI, I've seen things just get tossed aside. And Celine is no exception. She will never be on Top 40 radio again, and even AC has changed their format. AC stations are now basically to help people catch up with the modern music. Top 40 infiltrates AC when the songs start to get tired and newer songs start to pour in. It used to be that AC stations would play current songs that had more of the AC format sound, and if they got popular enough, then they would infiltrate top 40. But now, Adult Contemporary isn't even Adult Contemporary anymore...it's rollover Top 40 songs.Thank you for trying to make my post a bit clear Sony's pushing out singles? REALLY?! WHAT singles are they "pushing" exactly? In the UK, they gave "Breakaway" to radio with 1 lipped performance as promo and abandoned it after a month and sent "Water and a Flame" to radio with NO promo. In the US, they started strong with "Incredible" but AS SOON AS it started getting buzz and iTunes downloads, instead of rushing a video or being aggressive with radio, they WENT SILENT. EVERY time they've gotten buzz, they dropped the ball. They had NUMEROUS mentions and features around the video shoot and didn't capitalize on it. SOMEONE completely messed up with the Olympics debacle - announcing it would be used in the broadcast and then NOTHING. Not sure what the issue is here however, tv stations still see her as a draw if they are giving her airtime about a music video, however, Sony doesn't seem to want to sell her music.Yes, Sony is pushing out singles - LMBTL, Breakaway, Incredible, WAAF. That's already more than what Taking Chances got (AWTBI was a Japan-only single). The record label can only do so much as push the songs to the radio stations. It is up to the radio stations themselves to decide whether to add it to their playlists or not. Also, Sony Music UK did a fantastic job having each of the three singles there A-listed on BBC Radio 2, the largest radio station in the UK. They also had Celine in two of the biggest TV shows along with a fantastic interview with J. Ross and radio interview with Graham Norton. They just had Celine for 5 days there, yet the promotion was fantastic. It is not up to them to push Celine around with promotion cos trust me, if they could, they would have. The contract with Celine already limits them from pushing her to promote anything against her will, which is one of the main reasons why Celine will NEVER break away from Sony. Her contract gives her the leisure to have a family life and a recording career in perfect balance. But look at the resounding success of the album over there. The songs were also played by BBC Radio 2 and all of them record of the week and the album was their album of the week during release week. Sony did enough in the UK. As for the US, I fully blame the radio stations. I didn't want to say this earlier and have confided in only a couple of people, but radio have sort of blacklisted Celine Dion. Most of them are blatantly refusing to play her songs. There have been reports where the promo CDs were even returned back. So please tell me, what can the record label do then? They tried to do a similar thing when Taking Chances came out and sent the promo CDs as sung by a ghost artist, but they found out and the song failed too in the radios. About the Olympics thing, it was never mentioned that this will be used as the official song. It was only mentioned that it will be used by NBC during their broadcast of the games. Now if the channel didn't use it, who is to blame here - NBC or Sony? You tell me! And about dropping this song on iTunes when she performed it on The Voice, there is a thing called commitments per week. There are only a number of songs that can be put on the iTunes banner during a particular time and each record label has a limited number of slots. Probably, it was used up for other "hot" artists during that week or there may be various other reasons for it, but one cannot simply blame the record label for this. I'm not saying this to just you, Tim, but to many others here who think they know the ins and outs of record labels. This is a business and there are certain rules to abide by. There are also limitations as to how much the record label can invest in a particular album or artist as per the branches. Sony UK did a fantastic promo, got the returns with the album going platinum and hence, they invested more in the future singles. The same can be said about Sony Canada, where the album has been hugely successful in Quebec, hence more promotion in radios there. Same can't be said about English-speaking Canada, where the album did poorly. As for the US, Sony put her on several TV shows to promote it, even used the hype of Sia and Ne-Yo but people there didn't bother and the radios refused her material. Hence, the lack of promo in the US. If I were an investor and my investment failed, I would pull out the money instead of letting it languish. That's a simple fact. Wherever the album has been successful, there has been more promo. So I still stand by my post stating that Sony did a wonderful promotion but unfortunately, it didn't do well as expected in several key markets like the US, Germany, Japan amongst others. But the album did very good in several others like the UK, France and Canada and many other countries. This album is more of a mixed bag and Sony knows it. They still haven't given up on it and they promoted it on iTunes worldwide during the Valentines week as banner and then, magazine articles, radio singles etc. I hope I made my earlier post clear now! 11 Quote

I love Barnev but this song is so new I feel like that would've been a much better decision but then she'd have 3 hologram duets unless they replaced one of them. Not really sure which one is the best option. I lean towards HDYKTMP because, even though it is cool to see, it's still a bit odd to do a duet with yourself. They could still keep the song and her walking around in the aisle but maybe just take out the hologram part? They may have to re-work some things logistically to give her enough time to get there for the song, if she wants to walk in from the back still, but it could be do-able in the right place. 1 Quote ~Liz"Please don't make your career your life.

About her songs not being a radio hit in the last decade or so, I think her songs weren't THAT big of radio hits in the 90s as well, except a couple of tracks. She was, is and will always be more of an albums artist. As for JLo, she got the big hit with Pitbull. The other songs garnered very little radio adds and then, she went with Pitbull again the second time. There's also the question of genre. Celine was a dominant force in the AC radio and not so much in the other formats, whereas JLo's songs catered to a lot of genres from Pop, AC, HAC, RnB, Hip/Hop as well as the Latin radio stations. She has always been "hot" and not "boring" as her life wasn't squeaky clean as Celine's. THAT hampered Celine's musical side as well cos she was never supported by critics nor the paparazzi. That is boring in the glamourous world. But I think, you and I and every one here would agree that it's for the best Celine remains true to who she is and has her ideals intact. As for the radio interviews, it wouldn't work so much in the US cos the radios there cater to younger audiences and Celine is not hip to be catered to that demographic unfortunately.

Bruno Portugal Posted February 26, 2014 at 10:16 PM Posted February 26, 2014 at 10:16 PM The album sold over 1,5 millions worldwide in just 3 months, it was critically aclaimed and includes some of Celine's best English songs ever (Loved Me Back To Life, Breakaway, Water and a Flame and Didn't Know Love). Come on... it's not a flop! US sales disappointed, but Europe still loves Celine. Look at UK! Sony promoted Celine and she sold 300.000 copies. Sony and Celine just need to promote the album, specially in Europe. And please, music videos, we need new and great (not necessarily expensive) music videos to promote the album. Look at Beyonce's example.Release the "Incredible" music video now and film a new one for "Water and a Flame" or even a music video to promote an eventual re-release of Loved Me Back To Life single in the summer. 7 Quote My Webpage >>> TRIBUTE TO CELINE DION

I appreciate all the info in your post about Sony -- I'd been thinking along similar lines -- that they've really been doing an excellent job with promotion - but the radio stations and the general public just haven't latched on to the album. It's interesting, too, to learn that it's Celine who chose some of the singles . .I always thought it was the record company. (Btw, I cannot stand HYEBIL either. Not sure why, but I just can't listen to that song). But I disagree that Celine wasn't a big radio artist in the 90s. She may have always sold more albums than singles, but -- and I'm speaking from personal experience in the US here -- her songs were played CONSTANTLY on radio in the 90s. Not just A/C stations, where she was everywhere - but Hot 100 stations. I'm pretty sure MHWGO had - at least at the time - more radio airplay than any other song ever. And not just MHWGO -- but BYLM, IACBTMN, ABM, TLYM, TPOL, TTWII -- I remember these constantly being at the top of airplay charts, most-requested song countdowns, etc. Even BATB -- she was interviewed on Z100 -- New York City's biggest Hot 100 station -- back in 1992 in connection with BATB. And stations were regularly doing contests where Celine concert tix were the prize (I actually won one! It was amazing!). But her songs were pretty much inescapable on the radio in the 90s. 5 Quote
CelinesDIVO5 Posted February 27, 2014 at 12:59 AM Posted February 27, 2014 at 12:59 AM This was posted in the shows section but apparently she added Incredible to the Vegas set list last night! She sang it with Barnev and it didn't replace BATB. Gross, another great durt ruined by Barnev. I never understood the appeal. I don't think he's that good. Better than Scary Bradford, but that's really not saying much. I never got why they give this guy so much forefront. 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
GoldenLeaf Posted February 27, 2014 at 01:31 AM Posted February 27, 2014 at 01:31 AM (edited) As for JLo, she got the big hit with Pitbull. The other songs garnered very little radio adds and then, she went with Pitbull again the second time. There's also the question of genre. Celine was a dominant force in the AC radio and not so much in the other formats, whereas JLo's songs catered to a lot of genres from Pop, AC, HAC, RnB, Hip/Hop as well as the Latin radio stations. She has always been "hot" and not "boring" as her life wasn't squeaky clean as Celine's. THAT hampered Celine's musical side as well cos she was never supported by critics nor the paparazzi. That is boring in the glamourous world. But I think, you and I and every one here would agree that it's for the best Celine remains true to who she is and has her ideals intact. Jennifer Lopez is a flop act. She couldn't score a Hit single on her own (in other words, without collaborating with Pitbull) and her albums sales are a joke (Love? with its 600,000 copies sold worldwide).

CelinesDIVO5 Posted February 27, 2014 at 09:01 AM Posted February 27, 2014 at 09:01 AM According to Radio&Records, Incredible was the 3rd most added song at AC radio this week! My point about the Adult Contemporary format dying is proven by the number of stations that added the song. AC is truly just rollover for Top 40 songs as the Top 40 stations start to bring in new songs.

Modesta Posted February 27, 2014 at 09:06 AM Posted February 27, 2014 at 09:06 AM Every day I come here hoping for news about the video and find nothing. So disappointed. All the talk about the olympics, her new olympic anthem.. Well, the olympics are over and we have nothing. I don't blame her, but someone in her team/management/sony has a tendency to mess up things Big time 1 Quote
izadolphin Posted February 27, 2014 at 02:30 PM Posted February 27, 2014 at 02:30 PM I've had enough waiting. We dont need and shouldnt have to have the patience for this kind of waiting with not even a single ounce of an update. What do I check her website for any more? I never get any news there.. it's sad... I love her.. the new album. But someone, somehwere.. company.. management ..is seriously doing wrong here.. idc who it is.. it's not ok! we deserve better. However.. I love celine and will always be a huge fan. This is sooo frustrating! I couldn't be silent anymore lol http://www.celinedion.com/ca/news/lullabye-goodnight-my-angel#comments 2 Quote
