New English Single: Loved Me Back To Life

[Loup_garou]

BTW a little birdy told me that the lyric video hasn't come up yet cos they've gotten into some legal issues with the people who made it. They're trying to get it out ASAP!

 

LOL first the close-ups on the live video now the lyric video, seems her legal team is busy selling the house

[Javito]

That would absolutely typical of Celine's team at Sony. I mean honestly how on earth could they get into a legal dispute over a flippin' lyric video? LOL. Hilarious.

 

I was about to post the same. Only the Sony guys and when it comes to Celine could mess up with... the lyric video . Okay.........

[Maicool4]

hey guys should post a video asking again to put a lyrics video.

[dj4celine]

I was about to post the same. Only the Sony guys and when it comes to Celine could mess up with... the lyric video . Okay.........

Actually, this isn't the first time they ran into trouble with lyric video. Remember when they had to pull down the PAMP lyric video and put it back up again. Well, that was cos of legal issues with the Post-Production company/house. I'd not comment as to why they've not been able to sort it out, but considering you've studied law, you know how things could get messed up.

 

 

On top of that, I commend Sony this time (in a long time) for trying to do something with the single. It's not their fault that radios are picking it up slowly. What can they do? Pay the radios to play the song? They'll run into more legal battles for that. Besides, look what the rolling effect did to the Audience Impressions and wiped out around 4 million AI as most definitely the first day had a deal. Besides, Celine is unfortunately NOT hip. No matter how much WE want it to be, she will NEVER be hip.

 

Respected - Yes, Hip - NO!

 

It would be much better once us fans realize this fact and take it for what it is. If Mariah, who is more 'hot and hip' than Celine and with a current and cool artist like Miguel couldn't score a Top 10 hit with #Beautiful, what makes anyone think that Celine will actually be able to crack it? We should be more realistic and just accept this.

 

All I can say is, we should wait for the album release time as there will definitely be more promotion around that time and from what little I know, the album is gonna be very good - at least a couple of songs.

 

And no, this post wasn't meant to start a flame war between Mariah and Celine but just wanted to put into perspective that someone who is/was actually adored by the American radios isn't that hot property anymore as the bias against 40+ female artists have come into play here.

Yes I guess its probably a problem with the publisher of the song and the licenses, since Sia's demo was never officially released and maybe they had to start with all the registration paperwork from 0. Everything they want to do with a song/album has to be considered in the contracts and the licenses, including doing a video simply with the lyrics of the song on it. But I thought a huge record label like Sony would have these details more than ready when they produce a song under their name.

One thing that kind of bothers me about when Celine talks about this song, is that she seems to be taking the song so literally instead of looking at it metaphorically. I don't picture a person in a hospital bed in a coma. I listen to the lyrics and see someone in a depressive state after the end of a very long, loving with bumps in the road relationship that left them totally heart broken. They have a wall up for a long time until that one person comes along that can break them out of this dark place they have been in so long. IDK, this is just my 2 cents.

 

I think she knows the meaning of the song very well.

For me it she said it all with: I know a lot of people who are walking and the're dead. (larry king around 8 minutes).

[mirage]

I quote...

 

, the album is gonna be very good - at least a couple of songs.

 

 

I have a feeling you are talking about the NEW songs, and not the ones we already heard and the covers on that album...

 

If so, why sony why sony... why didnt you released an EP of "CELINE" last year...

 

Let Sia write more for her... they both want it!

I personally love LMBTL! I enjoy it immensely. I wasn't expecting the song to be a hit, much less a huge hit as some here did. I already knew Celine would have a lot of hurdles in her recording career - radio's practice of ageism, 6 year absence, 'Queen of Vegas' image, dwindling fan base, etc.

 

I think you imparted great advice in your post. Fans should just forget the charts and enjoy the song and the upcoming album. We know Celine is an amazing artist; it's their (radio, general public) loss if they ignore her.

 

So lets just enjoy Celine and her new music. Or else, as another poster said in another thread, we're gonna go crazy and say LMBTL went up a few spots in the high end of the charts or yay, two more stations added the song!

Nicely put eventhough it sucks that radio is ignoring this song! That they ignore Celine is one thing but this song deserves a chance. I heard that s*** that Britney's putting out twice yesterday. Pink's new song is so lame, yet everywhere. Let's face it, the only way for Celine to make it onto radio is through a collaboration with another artist and I don't mean Stevie Wonder!). Celine has fallen by the wayside as so many other older artists. Anyone remember Michael Bolton. He was the male Celine in the early 90's. Vegas continues to be "bad" for her image but she needs it for the $$$.

P!nk's song is great. She's the only artist of that list that actually deserves the recognition and success she's enjoying!

You took the words right out of my mouth. When I first heard her explain it on Jimmy Kimmel, I rolled my eyes and thought "o great now we know what the video is going to be like". She does interpret it way too literally which makes her sound just as cheesy as we'd hate to admit that she can be sometimes. When Sia wrote this song, and when most of us listen to it, I doubt anybody pictures someone literally in a coma and "loved" back to life

Actually I could of sworn Sia wrote it because someone she knew was in a coma!? Maybe wrong here.....

Also Celine mentioned on Larry King that she is aware of what this song could mean.

[Alex_Incognito]

I think some of you are taking too literally her interprettion of the song. She said it best on Larry King.

[karatedude317]

I just went on to Walkradio.com which is a big AC station here on Long Island that plays Celine's old songs, and played TC quite often, and emailed all of the DJs. If you'd like to do the the same thing kellydyson@walkradio.com parker@walkradio.com breakfast@walkradio.com For those of you who have time on your hands, 631 955 9750. Patrick Shea is in charge of the music that is played on the station

[karatedude317]

This was back in a time where those types of songs were HUGE though. And her contemporaries were still having hits at that time as well (Cher, Tina Turner).

 

 

You have to remember that there wasn't any illegal downloading going on in the 90's. If there was, it was minimal at best and WAY under the radar. 2002 was the peak of piracy. Napster, WinMX, BearShare, Limewire, Torrents, IMesh...all of these illegal downloading programs. The industry lost SO MUCH MONEY because of this. 2002 was also the year I believe that they started putting AntiPiracy warnings on CD's and putting copy blocks on them. I remember a lot of people couldn't copy the CD onto their computer. This was WAY before iTunes was introduced in 2001. People weren't used to this digital format yet. So they were either buying CD's or for the majority, downloading illegally. So, due to the OVERWHELMING amount of music being STOLEN by "would have been, should have been consumers" ANDHC performed AMAZINGLY well. Regardless of whether or not SONY was expecting something more from it.

 

 

 

My very first thought when I heard "WHEN THE WRONG ONE LOVES YOU RIGHT" was how well it fit in with the Destiny's Child type genre. Then low and behold she performed it with them on the CBS special.

 

 

 

 

I wouldn't go as far as to say it sounds like it's from 1993 lol

 

 

 

 

Celine had planned to go to Vegas long before ANDHC was even recorded. The lack of tour for the album itself had nothing to do with her decision to go to Vegas as "A New Day..." had already been in the works before she even recorded it. Therefore there was no plan to tour for ANDHC. The album was honestly released to mark her return to the scene. In every interview, she was talking about how she would be performing in Vegas. She needed the media blitz not only to promote the album, but to announce Vegas as well. A press release alone to announce her residency at Caesar's would not have done anything for the success of the show. It would not have made people as aware of the show. She had to announce it in a million interviews to get it into people's heads. Had she just gone to Vegas without the hype of the album, I doubt the show would have been as big of a success as it was.

I thought ANDHC broke records for being number 1 for 26 weeks or something like that. That song was all over the radio stations too. Speaking of radio stations, any luck with WBLI? i just emailed everyone over at WALK 97.5. To this day I have not heard this song on the radio once

You obviously havent seen the larry king interview... lets not underestimate celine's capacity to think and process things ;-)

[gafsa]

Yeah i remember sia said so. So, nothing wrong with what Celine said on LKL. It's just us who digging the meaning too deep when the fact is that the meaning of the song is so simple.

[Koolan]

I'm pretty sure this thread is the fastest to hit 100,000 views.

[celinefanonline]

so is there gonna be a music video of this single at all??? i don't mean the live one.............

[CSCfan]

so is there gonna be a music video of this single at all??? i don't mean the live one.............

 

Yes, next month.

[smw]

Yes, next month.

 

How do we know?

I did see the Larry King interview actually. And I heard her talk about the "walking dead" etc. And I was relieved. Then that new recording session was posted and she was saying how in the beginning of the song at that pause, is when the person goes into a coma and I was just like "ugh"

[soleilgirly]

Guys there is most definitely going to be a music video. Remember how long we had to wait for Parler a mon pere? There are 6 more weeks until the album comes out. I say we will have the music video by October 14th. Let's just be patient. I know we're all excited but we just have to go with the flow and trust Celine is preparing something special for us like she normally does!

[Nmj]

It might just be me but I LOVE the literal meaning the song! It hits close to home for anyone who's gone through having a loved one in a coma and waiting for them to beat the odds and come back. I hope also the music video show a coma victim with loved ones by their side.

[Chin]

If the music video could show the cold side as well as the touching side of the song, that would be awesome!

[Bell]

Just saw the recording session video. Great!

However, it is not enough. Whenever I browse on youtube, I see Katy Perr'y banner on the homepage. That's the reason why it got a lot of views. Why are they not doing that to Celine?

[stevo]

Britney tweeted that she's coming across the pond in a couple of weeks to see Alan Carr...cry. This show would be perfect for Celine and the UK audience could see her as she really is.

[QueenCeline87]

Found this article , seems Celine is in Flordia as TF1 are going to interview her there.

Not to sure when it will be aired but it seems Europe promo might be beginning in some small way
