Céline on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' 9/11/2013

[Your_Su_Phu]

I can see them having to lower the key pretty soon if things don't improve She's been having real pitch problems lately...

 

Lowering the key has nothing to do with pitch.....

And her pitch was fine for the most part here..

I couldnt see the whole interview and performance :-(

[mike_z]

Maybe she traded nasal for raspy

 

And yeah I agree with the lack of tone. But come on guys! People won't notice! She still was powerful, and C5 is her comfort zone but it's still considered an "upper chest belt", thus a high note. In most of the songs she hits it once during the verses. In this song she does it 4 times each verse. That means, 4x more chances to fail!

 

It's like MHWGO. She has to hit a D#5, but only TWICE in THE WHOLE SONG. And she's been struggling with those notes the last few times she performed it real live.

 

 

So I think, it's still a hard song for her to sing, and she's brave enough not to lower it (where it would lose most of its power), and to sing it live. Now nobody can call her the "lipsynching master"

[fanatik]

The performance was not bad, not perfect, but ok. You could see that by the end she was struggling. Cannot wait to see the interview. Edited September 11, 2013 at 04:05 PM by fanatik

And yeah, we have to cope with the fact that in 2007 Céline was in her prime. She looked fabulous and really confident!

i think that she nailed it! excellent performance!!

legs

[mike_z]

BTW, in the comments section people are saying Céline sounded "ill", "laryngitis", "nasal" and stuff

 

But I think it was 200% better than this year's Ellen performance. I wonder what people will say this time

[Macaronie]

It's clear that either Suhlien isn't reay yet or she's sick or smtg. But I ain't feeling it anymore. I turned the performance off, it's that bad!

this is lipped lol

[celinedionfan1]

Now that ladies and gentlemen, that is a great performance! Some imperfections, but overall VERY good. And the high not was 100x better here

 

But what I don't understand is why they would upload the performance now?

I saw the first two, but I hadn't seen the one of them on the couch

gawd she's hot. great performance! But i feel like.. there was an instrument missing our something. the background sounded really.. flat.

[Prima_Donna1]

The performance on Ellen was not that bad you guys. It wayyy better than Kimmel's for sure. She hit the high notes, no nasality, and was on key (until one of the parts in the end). It wasn't perfect but wayy better the JK show. Edited September 11, 2013 at 04:46 PM by Prima_Donna1

She will get there for sure. Agreed.

[EmmaCeline]

just watched the performance and i actually think it's quite good. the first 2 1/2 minutes or so are very good, yes its not perfect but people shouldn't expect perfection from LIVE vocals, you can see her struggling the tiniest bit towards the end but i think maybe its her also getting comfortable with the song. Obviously with her singing songs like MHWGO for years and years she has her own way of approaching those notes, maybe she just hasn't quite figured out her approach for LMBTL yet but it was still bloody amazing! and 100% better than most other artists could only dream of doing. Overall i think it's a good solid performance, not that im qualified in any way whatsoever to critique celine!

[chawatak]

She will get there for sure. Agreed.

 

I hope she will nail it on the X-Factor.

[Your_Su_Phu]

^ Can I ask when her X factor performance is?

 

3 times better....not perfect but it will come.

 

I agree

Her concerts don't start until November right? She should have plenty of time to rest until the big album promo closer to the release date

This link works on phone too

 

I think it'd be better if there are backing vocals / singers in this performance

[Alex_Incognito]

It sounds like there's some weird filter on her voice and she;s singing in a different register. I think that performance was better than the Kimmel performance, but something is lacking and I can't put my finger on it.

 

I agree, live backup singers would be better than a recording of her perfect vocals next to her live, nervous ones.

[Davey84]

Maybe cos people kept complaining there's no promo

 

 

This was an answer on the question why this was uploaded already

Thanks!

Poor performance I'm afraid. She struggled with vocal control and anchoring in the belt.

 

I've been a fan for 21 years and this was simply a poor show. Everyone has bad days but she really needs to take stock and revisit her live performances.

 

A real shame but have to be honest she needs to sort it fast. It can't be healthy for her.

 

I love you celine but you gotta look after your vocal cords my love xx

[québecflower]

i think she could have some difficulty figuring when to take her air....this song demands a perfect timing to keep the rhytm , the flow. I find that it is lacking a little bit. If she loses the timing, panic, and some bad notes. she will figure it perfectly with time.
