"Breakaway" - Official Topic

[Jessyka]

I wish we would get a new photo for the cover, but I doubt it.

[mike_z]

Who knows if there will be a physical single. I'd rather get a video!

[mebe]

Just saw on Twitter that Breakaway was playing on BBC Radio 2!

[luciusbright]

sure, the cover of Tous Les Secrets is amazing!

[shak ali]

Breakaway just been uploaded on Vevo...but cant view it in the UK

So it is confirmed to be the 2nd single but exclusive for UK only, correct?

can't view it in Argentina either.

So why are those countries banned? Gosh I don't get these Sony people.

And they should have uploaded a lyric video at least. They've almost uploaded the whole album by now!

Its also supposed to be the single in France

[Narada]

In a perfect world..Sony UK would have prepared a 2-track cd single with Breakaway and Open Arms as bonus track...would really help sales...probably too late with christmas so close to get the cd pressing plants to press them now...wasted opportunity but I hope Breakaway blasts into the Uk charts after SCD..

Ugh...worst choice as a single since "Goodbye's the saddest word"

What about water and a flame? or even Thank you!

 

 

No wonder her career is going down the drain!

I have to say this presumption seems a little harsh. Why not wait to see how the single does before making such a claim? I think that Breakaway could do quite well in the UK. Its been proven that ballads are still quite big there, look at the success Adele had in a time when ballads were no longer taken seriously in the music industry around the world. This is a good choice I think and a nice followup to the lead single which was more edgy and modern which brought in a new generation of fans, I think Breakaway is enough like the old 90s Celine yet modern enough that it will appeal not only to her traditional fanbase but also to those new fans LMBTL has garnered because it is something a la Adele so to speak.

my thoughts exactly

 

take PAMP. It looked like a bad single choice.. a song about her dead father, and what a big hit it turned out to be, as opposite to QPVSA which seemed like a more obvious single choice.

 

Still, BREAKAWAY is a bomb, and really catchy!!!

[Javito]

I still think that the great success of PAMP lies more on the hunger that french public had for a new Celine Dion album than on the "greatness" of the song. To me its a very so-so song. Should they have released QPVSA or another song and I'm sure it would have enjoyed similar success too, because people was really excited for new Celine music in french!

Her career is doing fine. And 'Thank You'? Really? You do understand why it is track #8 in her album, right? FILLER! It is not even radio friendly. Edited December 4, 2013 at 09:23 AM by LukeD

[yoyoma]

Just hear Breakaway at BBC Radio 2. The radio edit is shorter but gel well..So good to hear it on radio !!!!

It's a perfect single for UK imo

Emo song and daunting ... a bit like Think Twice

Didn't know love is one spot before and i think should be the 3rd single, so i don't think the track number matters but yes Thank You is the filler of fillers. though i've read a review (from idolator? not sure) that mentioned it as an "obvious single choice" ? oO

[Jessyka]

It seems we all have such high hopes for Breakaway!

 

Fingers crossed it'll deliver!

#8 is her number for fillers : 'New Dawn', 'Si J'etais Quelqu'un', 'Moi Quand Je Pleure' (which I love), 'Sory For Love', 'Prayer' ( ), 'When I Need You', '(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman', and of course 'I Feel too much' and 'If I Were You'! And, as you said, 'Thank You' now! Edited December 4, 2013 at 12:08 PM by LukeD

oh i see you count One heart as an album

ok i see what you mean! though i always thought highly of si j'etais quelqu'un

[luciusbright]

they upload only the audio, dose this mean there's no MV for breakaway?

I hope not, but a bad feeling is coming...

Since when people are excited for new songs when they made the previous release a flop?

 

Strange.

[mike_z]

I can't wait to listen to the radio edit. I'm smelling another hit here!

The song is BIG! Perfect for the UK, especially after seeing her album sales without any promo, this is going to EXPLODE, IS IT EVER ENOUGH?!!!

i don't think so, people loved that song, you can think it is bad, i don't love it so much myself, but quantities of people loved it. It is a meaningfull song , something rare to find today. Others on the album may be better musically, but i think they have made a good choice with that one. The album is a great success. But it has not changed her image. She is the good girl who loves her mother and father, her husband,childs etc.....

I agree, and everyone didn't jump on the PAMP bandwagon on the first weeks or months of release. The song was a grower and made its way into the fans or general public's consciousness little by little. It's sometimes sleeper hits that make a much more lasting impact on the mainstream audience, hence helping carry the album to higher plateaus.

my husband for one who is not a Celine fan, loved that song very much. On the english one , he loves LMBTL, so i think they made a good choice with that one too. I don't listen to me for the choices anymore, my husband is better I would have take didn't know love. Edited December 4, 2013 at 05:43 PM by québecflower

My hubby is a Celine fan as well, and he has loved her singles since TC much more than I do. I play SLS, Thank You and Incredible a lot. He has QPVSA, LMBTL and Breakaway on repeat!
